At Least TRY!

Reading the line up to this years Download festival something has occurred to me as I pour my whisky ~ WHY THE F**K DON'T BANDS PUT MORE EFFORT INTO FINDING A DECENT NAME?? (Not just Metal bands by the way.) I mean you're supposed to be up there, lighting up arenas, the least you could bloody well do is have a pretty spiffing name blazing away in the background!
Heres a few names at the 2011 festival: Clutch, The Cult, The Damned Things, FM, Hollywood Undead, Korn, Mr. Big, and Pendulum. In all that is tipsy, these band names are RUBBISH! And heres a few others (thankfully not at Download): Boyzone, Take That, Pink, The Beatles, Kaiser Chiefs and Oasis. Who thought of these monickers? A bloke in the pub?


New band name ~ The Teabags?

I know some artists believe in certain chemicals to 'expand the mind' and a lot come up with garbled (what they think to be clever) ideas to explain how their bands name came about, but in most cases the drugs must be broke. My guinea pig could devise a more cooler sounding name.
Slayer and Motley Crue got it right. Simple yet stylish and effective. Like a drunken attempt at a kiss on a woman you have always secretly fancied. (And I have a few of those over on Facebook.) The Doors and The Jam on the other hand got it wrong. Like attempting to fry a pot noodle.
And before I get asked, YES I have come up with a couple of snazzy names but im keeping them chilled in the fridge for now. Cheers!
