    That's very funny :). Is there not some law in place to prevent bands having the same name? I remember buying Coming Up by Suede in Boston years ago and on the front of the CD they were listed as "The London Suede". Apparently some American band was already using the name Suede and so they had to change their name for the North American market.

    Did neither Cynic band think that they should differentiate themselves from each other?:confused:

    Never heard of the UK Cynic, but I'd love it if the US Cynic got to play Wacken, only started listening to them recently and gosh darnit they rock.

    It's a messy issue. Depends on where you are and how big your band is. US bands tend to get all sue-happy and get lawyers involved. There are a few Suedes, Placebos, Peach(es) and even more than one Nirvana (and the one you're thinking of is not the original!).

    I heard somewhere that Blink 182 were originally called "Blink" until an Irish band with the same name told them to change it. Thats what I've heard, not 100% sure that that is right. I'd say it happens quite alot.

    Brilliant. The American Cynic are quite good. Picked up one of their albums awhile back, a total blind buy and was pleasently surprised.
