Band name needed...

kornfreak007

Hi guys

10 years ago i would have come up with a band name in a flash but it seems inspiration has ran out.

We play music in the line of staind, three days grace etc..

Any idees on a catchy band name?

Thanks :-[

Well, what inspires you? What common ground is there between the band members?
Is there a message or statement or feeling you want to convey?
Do you want a brand name that will be catchy and easy to market or a more poetic one?
Does your music speak to the audience or rather entertain it?
Come on, give us something more to go on!
Some titles of your current songs (if applicable) would possibly help to understand the general "feel" of the band...

Vuvuzela ? Blow every one away!

Tomorrow Never Knows - Beatles track, I always wanted to use this as a bandname, but might be too proggy for you

Stained Grace ?

mmm whatever you call a band it seems favourable to use the word "The " before

"The .........." you fill in the blank now

Lots of exceptions: Procul Harum, Cream, Ten Years After, U2, Metallica, Nirvana, Was Not Was, West Life, Love, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Corporal Punishment, Flash Harry, Baxtop, ZZ Top...

Most importantly, are you Prog Metal?

I think you should come up with your own band name... and it must be inspired, not thought up... if it means you wait 4 weeks to get inspired then do it...

Some cool band names that i have heard"

"And you will know us by the trail of dead"
"Male Bonding"
"Mewithoutyou"

Those names from what i know were inspired by songs, or phrases.... not thought up.

If I could rename my band I would call it "Rodelex Propaganda" maybe......... or a really long name

Perhaps "A & the Bortions" But then you have to play 3 chords and say "OY" alot

Really though try get inspired, I dont think any names people give you are gonna really mean as much as a good inside band inspiration.
BTW: Staind is a crap name awful, this is not up for debate ?

thats weird, but very cool, great band name

ppl just shorten it to "trail of dead" but thats fine cuz you know who they talking about.

Ps: make sure your name is easy on a google search

How about Free Beer? Best band name ever...

I think these really long, dull names are going to date badly. They'll go, "Whoa, that is such a 2000's name."

But if you want one:

Dreaming of Prague While Leaves Fall In The Graveyard Of My Lost Dreams

I don't think it's any suckier than any of those crappy names.

How about Kaposi's Sarcoma - it's a kind of cancer you develop when you have AIDS ???

Or Russell Beats Darwin

Or Kalashnikov

Or The Maribou Storks (wait, I'm going to hold onto that one - I can see a great album cover)

Or The George Bushes

Or Zyklon B (the hydrogen cyanide pellets used for mass slaughter in the Nazi death camps)

Or Terra Nueva (or Terror Neuva if you prefer)

Or Cock Tricks (play on Cocatrix before anyone gets too upset)

Or The Yak Yak Yaks

Or ...
