Which band name is best??

k_money

What ya'll think

BizzyC

No.3, because the other 2 were really terrible....

k_money

Well then you CLEARLY don't get them then!

MagnumForce

to tell you the truth, they're all pretty awful but if i had to choose, itd b 3

Doctor J

They're all pretty crap but if I had to choose, I'd go for a number 2 except call it World Music Champions Of The World

Ancient1

World Music Champions Of The World

Just to avoid confusion, right?

Dellgirl

Well then you CLEARLY don't get them then

Explain them then.
Ps - No.3

Ancient1

Wet mattress will implicate you with bed wetters, and you dont want that!

k_money

See the ancient one gets it pretty handy! And world music champions is ironic, the addition of "of the world" is a good idea!

Dellgirl

See the ancient one gets it pretty handy!

I thought there might be some artistic reason behind it....which would not be unheard of.
Why would you want to call yourselves the bedwetters or whatever?

k_money

why would they want to call themselves an aviational machine, or a stream in a desert, or a hazy view, or a letter and number, or a type of bug, or stones that can move, or a type of solid flower.

It's only a name!

Oh none of these are possibilities for an actual band like, i'm already in an established band! Just did this to settle a debate with mates!

Third_Echelon

they are all rubbish in fairness... if i saw that on a poster, there is no way i'd even consider going to see a gig with a band called 'wet mattress' performing :rolleyes:

gibson

K money a name of a band is more than "just a name", its the first thing anyone sees/hears to do with your band, that obviously havent heard you before. As was said if wet matress was on a poster i dont think a lot of people would go. Theyre all not the greatest but 3 is by far the better.

back to the drawing board, or {the boards}

A name isn't a marketting ploy, only if you're a pop star. It's a name!!!!!

and a sh1t one at that...

bladetrinity

otherwise people would say went to a gig last night saw a band now what was their name so what if metalica were called the pink poodles hardly t shirt selling stuff except in the george (no offence to pink poodle owners) intended name is vital. :cool:

k_money

Well they wouldn't pick a name like that cos it doesn't reflect on their personality or music at all. That's what a band name should be. Something personal to a band that they find to be a reflection of what they're about. Not for t shirt sales. But i mean if the band is good enough the name should be a peripheral component

so bed wetting reflects your personality???

Personally thats something I wouldn't want to declare to people....

Bob Bogart

Pete Doherty

Like what "pete", the libertines? Pretty stupid when ya look at the lifestyle Pete has! And may I reiterate they are NOT possible band names, just ideas my mates had, using the medium of a poll to see who's idea is best!

bladetrinity

oohh, well sorry "k money"! u do know im not the only one who said them names are ****e! whats the point in puttin them up if you don`t even want them as a name?


oh by the way.that was some nice slaggin of pete, very origional. i suppose your just one of the rest of em that take the word of the media and stand by that yeh?why? petes too good? you know he is.

I agree with the last part to an extent: The name shouldn't be the one and only thing about a band and, if you *had* to pick only one aspect, then I reckon the music itself would be the most important.

However, I personally don't think the name should always be something personal to the band. If you do it that way, you're immediately excluding the audience.

About the t-shirt sales remark, each to his own. A band might be very keen on becoming extremely popular and part of that would be getting their name (whatever it may be) out there on t-shirts, lunchboxes, underwear, dog jumpers etc. Success doesn't mean selling out. Why shoudn't you pick a name that's gonna sell t-shirts?

P.S. I'm with most other people on this: #3 is the best although that's only cos I'm forced to pick!

P.P.S. Yes yes, I'm quite aware that my signature contains our band name!

daram

You say you're in an established band. Out of curiosity, what are ye called?
I picked mad matches btw, didnt think much of the other too.

Edit: Just realised my sig has my band name too. cue slagging...

k_money

We're called The Fourth. It's a name dating back to when the band started up a few years ago when I wasn't actually a member. I also used to be in a band called Junction, recently broken up.
