Gerry and the Pacemakers Anthrax Katrina and the Waves
T thejab Grand Member (1 year) Tradewinds Apartments, Alameda, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2992	T thejab Posted posted on Tue, Oct 25, 2005 12:03 PM I hate band names that use alternate spellings or abbreviations to look clever: Stryper Inxs XTC, but at least they didn't suck You get the idea. Even the Beatles would fit in this category so I'll agree with Gegantalope!

That's a bad, bad name. What about Mustard Plug? What the hell is that? Gross! I always hated John Cougar Mellencamp. One of the best "take-offs" of a band or artist is John Cougar Concentration Camp. That's good stuff.

(A Duroc is a large brick colored breed of pig)

S Shipwreckjoey Member San Diego, CA Joined: Nov 29, 2002 Posts: 1794	S Shipwreckjoey Posted posted on Fri, Oct 28, 2005 7:08 PM B.R.M.C. - anybody can name their band after a fictional motorcycle club from a 1950's Brando movie. If you guys REALLY wanna impress me call your band The Hells Angels. Death Cab For Cutie - probably copped this name from the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" movie. If asked to name the Bonzo Dog Band album this song appeared on I'm sure the silence would be deafening. Flock of Seagulls - this band took off like a herd o' birds.

M MachTiki Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Feb 16, 2004 Posts: 1369	M MachTiki Posted posted on Wed, Nov 9, 2005 6:32 AM "And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead". Geezuz, it takes a week just to say their name. Kinda makes "INXS" & "U2" look pretty good. At lease there's time to say their name before you go to bed. And how do they shorten that? "I know", says the pretentious singer who's annoyed that we all don't think he's clever, "let's go by AYWKUBTTOD! That's much shorter and easier to remember".

It's even worse if you know how he got the name: His grandfather used to hit on Don van Vliet's old girlfriends by leaving the bathroom door open while he peed while muttering "So large, like a fine Beefheart..."
