Best Band Name Ever
 

You know, we've been taking these guys for granted for 40 years now. But, if you take a minute and thing about it, they really came up with the best band name ever. And they came up with it way back when most bands were named shit like "The Hollies".

The Rolling Stones

They stole that name from a Howlin Wolf song, that makes it the best?

Yeah, but Howling Wolf took it from an old adage "A rolling stone gathers no moss".

Morning Wood

Local (when I loved in AZ) punk group...fetus on your breath

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

Their latest album, entitled "Danza II: Electric Boogaloo"



You can close the thread now, this topic is over

I totally agree!

Before Black Sabbath was called BLack Sabbath, they were called The Polka Tulk Blues Band...

also, a local band from where I used to live was called P.I.B.S., meaning Pimple Infected Butts of Steel...

Local band I know, called "M.P Inferno"


M.P stands for midget porn.

Midget Porn Inferno

Love that name

local band........whitemans overbite

Teenage Head

My old drummer was in a band called TOM CRUISE CONTROLL.

Another local name that I always liked was Falcon Crest.

My favorite name major label artist wise is Soundgarden.

It has to be one of these:

• Anal Cunt
• Mindless Drug Hoover
• Mr Ray's Wig World
• Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine
• Ned's Atomic Dustbin
• The New Pornographers
• Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

How about Our God Given Right to Eat Fred Austaire's Asshole?

how about frank stalone saves christmas

I go for simple like - U2, REM, Cake, etc. -

On the queerly insane tip I like: Circle Jerks & Butthole Surfers

But classic are: Stone Temple Pilots, Blue Oyster Cult (and their alter ego 'Soft White Underbelly'), Camper Van Beethoven, Dead Kennedys & Tenacious D

My ficticious jazz combo name made up in college was 'Nocturnal Emmissions' - but never had the opportunity, or cool jazz chops, to implement...

yeah, Dead Kennedys is awesome, but will it last forever?

how about
Alcohooligans
The Presidents of the United States of America
Teenage Fanclub

btw Alternate Current / Direct Current sounds really corny...

I always thought Siouxsie & The Banshees was a cool band name.

a few of my favorites are slightly stoopid, Ugly Casanova, g love and the special sauce, Hellyeah, Trik Turner, The Who and Richard Cheese (aka dick cheese)

the string cheese incident, the disco biscuits, Dropkick Murphys

The greatest band name ever is easy. Better Than Ezra. This has nothing to do with their music, cuz i could give a fuck, but check this out. Initially when they started out they were just called Ezra, but after they got signed it turned out that there was already another band with the same name and they were threatening litigation if they didnt change it. Thus Better Than Ezra was born.

Worst screen name ever = icky...poop...butt...

seriously man, I get what your throwing out there, but don't want to trail too close behind - change those drawers! :D:D:D

Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Queensryche
Led Zeppelin
Metallica

I Love You, But I've Chosen Darkness

See Cape, Buy Cape, Fly

Hippo Eats Dwarf

The best names come from industrial bands.

Nine Inch Nails
Sister Machine Gun
My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult
Pop Will Eat Itself
KMFDM (Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode) at least that is the rumor
Revolting Cocks

Although punk has some great like Circle Jerks, Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys.

I know so many
 

Dying Fetus
God Dethroned
Deeds of Flesh
Morbid Angel
Cannibal Corpse
Zyklon
Cancerslug
Genitorturers
... I could go on and on listing awesome metal band names

You should see the names of their songs:
One Shot One Kill, Homicidal Retribution, Fetus Milkshake, Addicted to Vaginal Skin, Gallery of Suicide, Fucked With A Knife. I love it!

My Favorites
 

I've always liked
.Soul Coughing
.Streetlight Manifesto

but who can hate a name like Anal Cunt?

Also I heard KMFDM was their initials or something, may or may not be true, may or may not have even been them they were talking about.

There was a pub band in Queensland, Australia in the late 70's called "Buster Hymen and the Penetrators" - can't beat that name.....

Here's a few more good ones from Oz:

• The Slugfuckers
• Wipe (Out Your Whole Family)
• Dead Baby Meat
• Kiss My Poodle's Donkey
• Lubricated Goat
• The Pork Hunts

It's all here:

The best band name ever will always belong to Anal Cunt. I know it's been mentioned in this thread already, but I give that one my vote.

I read Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse in a high school english class. We were allowed to pick poems with curses.

I think MadamMeow would be a kick ass band name.... better than Ladyhawke:D

Aw thank you, MadamMeow and the Pussycats lol. I like it :D Actually in 7th grade I was going to be the bassist in an all girl band called Fatal Desire. It never panned out. :(

You rule. That's a great song. You should have read Shredded Humans from the Eaten Back to Life album:

"Fourth child on the way, won't live another day
Fetus on the road, with mangled little bones
Little children fly, not a chance to wonder why"

Sick but they always manage to make you visualize all of the carnage they write about.

Yeah that would have been a good one too. So many to choose from. I got to make a little art thing to go along with it and give a little bio on Corpsegrinder.

I would have did fucked with a knife and Chris Barnes, but I didn't want them sending me to talk to the child molesting guidance counselor guy. lol

"REO Speed Dealer" has always been one of my faves....

and
Youve Got Foetus on Your Breath
Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel
Foetus Under Glass

and Chrissie Hynde almost named The Pretenders, "Mike Hunts Honorable Discharge"

Yeah I know. I have the girl from Gallery of Suicide on my forearm. I want to get the head shot guy in the suit on the other side of my arm. None of the parents at my kids' school will look me in the eye lol. The first tattoo I was supposed to get was the fetus skeleton from Butchered at Birth on my back but my husband thought it would be a bit disturbing look at that while he tried to get me pregnant but now I am so getting it :)

Somewhere between The The and !!!.
