    Any with 5 or more words.


    Excluding "[Front person] and the [other people]" type names, of course
    Except for 'And you will know us by the trail of the dead" which is a freakin awesome name for a band

    'Bullet For My Valentine'

    Love their music - fast trashy style metal, but the name makes them sound like a bunch of weepy emo kids.

    Mr Mister

    Fun fact: My local butcher's surname is Mister, so should he ever go to an English speaking country, he'll be Mister Mister!

    The proof:

    Such a great band, that very few people stop to consider how crappy their name was.

    It's a dreadful pun that even a virgin, foreign-national entomologist would think twice about making in an AH thread about beetles.
    in waynes world wasn't there a band called "the ****ty beatles"

    Biffy Clyro - Brutal name for a band. Aw man, how they came up with that name, it's pretty sad. It's an anagram of Cliffy Biro, which was an idea for a Cliff Richard themed pen thought up by one of the band members out of boredom.
    It'd only be an anagram if you spelt biro as 'byro'.

    Avenged Sevenfold. I've never heard their music but I met an obsessive fan from Singapore once. He was also stalking a teenage girl he met online too.
    It was great sharing a hostel room with him, especially the morning when I woke up and found him staring at me as I slept.

    JJ72

    Stupid name especially because they tried to keep the meaning as a mystery.

    I think it has something to do with 72 jam jars but honestly, who calls a band after jam jars?

    Even then name 'Jam Jars' would have been better than jj72

    The 'jam jars' thing was actually retro-fitted to cover up the utterly cringy real meaning of their name which arose from their love for their alma mater Belvedere College. JJ is from its most famous alumnus James Joyce and the 72 is in reference to 1972, the last time they had won the Leinster schools rugby cup.
