Worst band name?

[Spivonious]

Destroy, Destroy, Destroy
As I Lay Dying
any of the other countless "screamo" crap that use phrases and sentences for the band name, like it makes them sound smarter.

[Shawn Lutz]

Metallica
oingo boingo

Staind
Reach Around Rodeo Clowns (great band, shitty name)
Dragonforce (although I am sure that is tongue in cheek)
Wolf Mother (pathetic name)
Buck Cherry (WTF?)

Reach Around Rodeo Clowns (great band, shitty name)

Oh man, thats funny


How 'bout "Surrounded by Idiots"

[MBreinin]

How about Trixter? The only people they tricked were the dudes at the label that gave them a deal.

[robfromthedeep]

Vagina Bloodfuck. Yes that is an actual band.

[donf]

My friend played in a band called "The Richard Weed Ensemble",

now he's writing articles for either Guitar One or Guitar World now, so he didn't fair too bad....

[Ralph E.]

Bruce Springsteen.

Just hearing that name makes me puke, and I grew up in NJ...

[MBreinin]

Well, Ralph you can't fault the guy for using his name as the band name. You might hate him, but that isn't a bad band NAME. Cannibal Corpse is an example of a bad name, using one's own name can't qualify.

Nickelback has something to do with one of the guys who worked in a coffee shop and he would always give people their change which would usually be a nickel. Why the hell I know that, I'm not fully sure, but am pretty ashamed. I think it has to do with too much time spent on WikiPedia.

The story:


Their manager calls Chad Kroeger while he's at workAsks him what the band's name will be.During the speech he hangs the phone for a second and gives the customer his change by saying "here's your nickelback" then the manager says "nickelback! brilliant!" and here we are with 826349326423 same songs

[Superfly]

The Cure (yeah, there is a cure..it is called PROZAC you moping fuck)

I'm a huge Cure fan but that is some funny fucking shit right there !!

[Ralph E.]

Well, Ralph you can't fault the guy for using his name as the band name. You might hate him, but that isn't a bad band NAME. Cannibal Corpse is an example of a bad name, using one's own name can't qualify.

Does anyone have a sense of humor around here anymore?

Bartender, drinks all around!



p.s. and technically, aren't they called Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band? So I got it half right... and if (just shoot me) I wanted to find a cd, I would look under S for Springsteen, no?

And while i'm on a roll, let's add a few more "controversial" band names to the list:

Bob Dylan
Neil Young

[Freyr]

Living Colour is my favourite black metal band

:ROTF:


As far as horrible names go...

Clawfinger
Madder Mortem
One Man Army and the Undead Quartet
Theatre of Tragedy

and of course,

Simple Plan

[Extant]

Trail of Dead is a kickass name, it's excellent.

Hell yeah.

They make awesome music, too.

Thanks for making my laugh.

BTW, I belive Buck Cherry got their name from a derivitive of Chuck Berry.
