This doesn't belong in the Basses forum, it should be in off topic.

That's why it's good to read the forums first, to avoid embarrassments such as these.

People who show some interest usually get better answers.

I guess I am a bit odd

but....I think "Butthole Surfers" is a brilliant name. My band is called "Tuna of the Land"......does that name suck, or what?

Other names I think are cool, but that the guy who started this thread might not think are cool:

Throbbing Gristle
Dayglow Abortions
Southern Culture on the Skids
The Stooges
Violent Femmes
Minor Threat
Brian Jonestown Massacre
The Mothers of Invention
Peter and the Test Tube Babies
The Dictators
Dead Kennedys
The Stranglers
The Cramps
Rudimentary Peni

.......hell, I could go on with this for a week

How about those spandex rock groups:

RATT (just plain stupid)
Poison (stupider)
Slaughter (bad name, bad band)
White Lion (why????)
Guns and Roses (why not "knives and tulips"??? )


How about some of those earlier bands:

The Who (why?)
The Animals (why not "the plants"? )
The Jefferson Airplane (why not the "Washington Helicopter" ?)
Hot Tuna (why not "Cold Trout"?)
The Band (now THAT'S original )

Yes, it does. We have categorized forums for a reason. Makes it much easier to find things, using the Search option.

I didn't, perhaps you should take it up with the Misc moderators, via PM, rather than questioning their decision in a public forum.

embellisher is right.

Hateater, your posts were not deleted. I felt that a "good band name" thread was a good idea, so I split this thread in two so that both could evolve independently. You can find your posts here.

As always, you can PM me if you have questions, etc.
