Is naming a band the worst shit ever or what?

Wasn't the last Descendents album called Merican? I see some kiddy punk bands out there using that name

I suspect that such a band would also do quite well in rural WI. Small town folks here still DANCE to classic rock cover bands. I've seen it.

Dude, I ran sound for it

I will name your band. Step right up. If you want to give me a description, cool. Otherwise, I can just run with it.

Name my band. My influences are 90's post-industrial. Shitty ballad metal. Weird Al, the Beastie Boys, and Ween. I like/love weed.

Funny, I'm not currently in a band, I have no active project, but I'm coming up with potential names left and right. i think the problem often is that most musicians are too damn insecure to just own their own silly ideas. Coming up with names is not hard. Getting over your hang ups and self consciousness and then second and third guessing your choices is. Add more people into the equation and it becomes yet harder.

Truth.

But some people are just terrible at it too. First garage band I was in was called Fresh Linen. I vehemently opposed it, but the guy who came up with it was insistent.

Then when he realized (finally) what an unbelievably stupid name it was, he denied even being the one who came up with it, let alone pushed it through.

If you combine words (instead of just one word) you're more likely to come up with something original. All the cool one-word names may have already been taken.

Nope. (My new band name)

Actually quite good.

The band I'm in is Called STONE DRAGON

They all want to use band names, I'm going by my normal nom-de-plume Hagard, the guitarist is calling himself Rigor Mortis and as for the drummer I don't know most likely some thunder god.
