Best Band Name... EVER

[SpikeFightwicky]

You know the drill... You just picked up Guitar Hero 1/2/2 - 80s edition/3 or Rock Band. You plug everything in and get ready to rock. Then you have to enter your band name and everything grinds to a halt... You stop and think of a cool/gimicky name for your band, even if no one else will ever know it existed. Right as you're about to lose hope, something in your brains clicks into place and you enter the rockingest name you could come up with. Then your buddy comes over and tells you his digital band name and it sounds way cooler than yours...

So what was the best band name you GH or RB players have come up with?

Mine is: Rocktimus Prime

[Thanatos 51-50]

The best ones are "Skidmarks" and "Thanatophobia"

[Baerdog7]

Heh, "The Skidmarks" is the name of my Rock Band band.

At my friend's house, our band is "Seven Car Pile Up." A cookie for anybody who can get the reference.

[DeathQuaker]

"Rock Band" randomly generated this name for my friends' band:

Death-Pit Punkaceratops

[Thanatos 51-50]

Heh, "The Skidmarks" is the name of my Rock Band band.

At my friend's house, our band is "Seven Car Pile Up." A cookie for anybody who can get the reference.


During the "Big Rock endings", we're trying to convice our singer to yell "SKIDMARKS!".
Thus far, she refuses, but we WILL find a way.
(Yes, our singer is female - the rest of the band is male.)

[Flawless]

Hmm,

BIGG NIFE
TARANCHULA
LAZOR
LIMOZEEN

[TheOtherMC]

"Dr. Rocktopuss" ......that is all

[Jibar]

"Dr. Rocktopuss" ......that is all

I was going to make a suggestion, but I think this may be the best name ever and I need to find a real band named this.

[Colt]

My friend has a band called "The Legend of Moose"

[TheOtherMC]

I was going to make a suggestion, but I think this may be the best name ever and I need to find a real band named this.

And if Jibar says it folks, you know its true! :smallbiggrin:

[Tom_Violence]

For some reason this thread reminds me of Flight of the Conchords. Perhaps because little makes me chuckle quite as much as the Rhymenoceros and the Hiphopopotamus. :smallbiggrin:

[Albub]

Ours was Hot for Pockets in rock band, but I like rocktimus prime quite a bit too.

[Amotis]

Band Name: "The Ironic Sellouts"
Motto/Quote: "Buy more ****ing t-shirts!"

[Pteraden]

I'm gonna go ahead and quote the everflowing wisdom that is the "Ask a Ninja" Ninja.


I always thought it would be funny to name a band "Your Grandma", because it'd be funny to hear people say like, "Man, I paid a lot to see Your Grandma, but it was worth it!" or "Your Grandma puts on a great show."

[SurlySeraph]

Italic Squirrels.

Dave Barry thinks of the best names for rock bands, ever.

[Shades of Gray]

The random band name for us was "Five-Alarm Gerbil"

Another one was "The Damp Snugglers"

What?

We went for LimoZeen, and another band we had was "The Tin Ceilings" because my kitchen got redone, with tin.. ceilings.

[Xuincherguixe]

Global Hate Party for Planetary Death
Jim Lorfen's Rock Band (None of the people would be named Jim Lorfen)
Atomic Gerbil
Deathkitties
Insert Name Here
We're a parody band
Slaughterplosion
The Followers of Squiggy

[Archpaladin Zousha]

God, I'm unoriginal! I used the name "Swords of Tyr" on my brief and unsuccessful attempt at playing Guitar Hero.

[Goats_o_Mjolnir]

I currently play guitar in a local band called Piranha Raffle, we rock :smallbiggrin:

[warty goblin]

For some reason this thread reminds me of Flight of the Conchords. Perhaps because little makes me chuckle quite as much as the Rhymenoceros and the Hiphopopotamus. :smallbiggrin:

Personally, I've always liked "Business Time" a little more. Probably because my very hairy brother in law always sings along to it in a really squeeky voice...

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Heh, "The Skidmarks" is the name of my Rock Band band.

At my friend's house, our band is "Seven Car Pile Up." A cookie for anybody who can get the reference.

Yeah JD you said that at his Funeral.

Ours is;
Epic Pwn
Manamina
Quarter Circle Foward

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

For Guitar Hero: Deadly Lawyers

For real life: Death Monkeys of Freedom. Or DMofF for short.

[Mr._Blinky]

Half-track Whales. They're whales...you know, on half-tracks...

Just about any "Half-track [insert animal]" works though.

[OverWilliam]

Chinese Firedrill.

Lead Singer: Lance Boil
Lead Guitar: Blueberry Hill
Bassist: Betty Blue (male, we think)
Drummer: Dunno, he doesn't talk

[ShneekeyTheLost]

My buddy has a GH band named Vegan Zombies.

The ones I came up with:

SKREEM - heavy metal dudes. Screaming at the top of their lungs.
Psychodelic - Psycho psychadelics
Yo Momma - "I went to see Yo Momma last night. Yo Momma can sure put on a show. Best twenty bucks I ever spent"
That Group - "What was the name of that group? Yea. I wanna go see Yea. No, it's That Group. Yea, that group, what's it called? You just said it..."

[Raider]

Mustard Howlers......EPIC in every sense of the word

[Baerdog7]

Yeah JD you said that at his Funeral.

Very nice. Enjoy your cookie. :smallsmile:

[Seraph]

Umlaut Panic. sadly, I couldn't find any actual umlauts to put in the title.

[SilentNight]

My guitar hero band was called 14th Floor(c'mon people, you know what floor that really is). Some other random names
Norweigan Pigs of Death
The Order of the Moose
I got Ninjad' on umlaut though.

[TheThan]

Jet Ski Pirates

Old joke, don’t ask…

[Glawackus]

Obscure Zealots

(our favorite game in history class when bored was to pick out band names from phrases in the notes..."Obscure zealots make wild claims" came up in the context of the Protestant Reformation)

[Revlid]

We Stole Cairo
Squidhead God
The Lovecraft Project
Scarecrow Tippers
Fourteen Days
Nikkernak

[Point Blank]

3 Girls and a Fatman

Also simply popped up on Rock Band's auto-name: Gin and Tuesday. I really like this one.

[JabberwockySupafly]

Since we in Oz aren't yet blessed with Rock Band, I'll have to go with my GH1/2/3 band name(s);

GH1 - Tiny Samurai, which is short for Tiny Samurai In The Wash Basin, which came from a throw-away comment I made to a friend of mine regarding how french fies looked like tiny samurai swords, and he made a comment about how my wash basin (I used to wash dishes at a restaurant) must have been a watery grave for countless tiny samurai... so yeah.
GH2/80's/3 - Enormous Pidgeons, which is actually short for The Quest For Enormous Pidgeons... If you've ever been to Sydney, Australia and seen the size of the pidgeons, and watched a bit too much Discovery channel, you would most likely get this joke.

[Dragor]

My bands serious name on GHIII was Baptist.

This recently got changed to Please Die!

Can't wait for Rock Band comes out in the EU- I'm going to be bassist. Urm, yeah, fun. :smalltongue:

Doctor Rocktopus made me howl with laughter- you, MC, are now Deity of Rock.

[Destro_Yersul]

On Rock Band I'm the lead guitar for Electric Chandelier. We chose it because it made no sense and was somehow funny at the time.

[Magnax]

George Carlin had a whole list of humorous names for rock bands in one of his books (possibly Napalm and Silly Putty). My favorite is "Basket of Fire".

[skyclad]

Eternal Exile my real band :smallbiggrin:

[Ceska]

Umlaut Panic. sadly, I couldn't find any actual umlauts to put in the title.
Ümläut Päníc, duh.

I love the name Dark Tranquillity, but I love the band too.
Birth Control is pretty cool.
Hypocrisy is nice and fitting.
Wallenstein, just because historical names are always made of win.
One Man Army and the Undead Quartet is stupid enough to sound good.
Therion is of course a good one, as is Blinded Colony.
But honestly, most band names are by far worse than the song names. Anyway, all of these are real, and I'm not going to create any.

[lumberofdabeast]

I'm currently working on making logos for "The Axe Shower Gel Band". Overt corporate shills for the win?

[Were-Sandwich]

My friend's band on 3 is called Goblin Rockout, which I think is pretty lame, but he insists is awesome.

Itty Bitty Kitty Commitee
Ms Pacman and the Ghosts
Kirk's Rock

[ElfLad]

GH1 - The Semicolons; Get Yer Motor Runnin
GH2 - Comrade Floyd; Gold Zeppelin
GH3 - Location Name

Rock Band - Carpenter G'Joob

[Mauril Everleaf]

Creating band names is a pastime of mine. Here are some of my favorites:
Guardians of the Infinite Abyss (my current RB band name)
Glory Machine
Plato and Philosoraptors
Insane Amount of Cake
David, Party of Awesome
International Bureau of Kamikazes
12 Cent Romance
Magic Hobo Fire

[Farmer42]

Farmer's 42.

The ironic thing is that we named the band that then never created new bands, we just cycle people through, so we really have had a bunch of different members and we never actually intended for that to happen.

[Moongoat]

Me and my Friends were joking around about what we would call our band if we had one and we decided on "The Rage of Urination"

[Zarrexaij]

Ehh... the most epic name I've ever come up with is "Thus Spoke."

[Hunter Noventa]

The one time I played GH2 I named my band 'Evil Monkey'. If I were to play again I'd name it Iron Spigot. Pronounced Eye-ron Spy-got.

[Were-Sandwich]

Pugilistic Rage
We Love The Chosen One
Order of the Psychadelic Monks

[Headless_Ninja]

Mine was Singularity. I love it!

[Jalor]

Guitar Hero 2: Rapid Insertion Team (Get your mind out of the gutter, it's a military term.)
Guitar Hero 3: Urza's Boxer Shorts
Rock Band: Abusement Park (No, that's not a typo.)
