Blind Arrogance
What do you think...?
It stems from someone who made a remark about our band based on erroneous information about someone in our band. The remark was based upon something somone percieved as fact when it was not fact.The remark was very arrogant and the person blindly believed the info they heard as true.

| | | | I guess if it really means something to you go for it but its sounds to regular street punk band name if you know what I mean.
To me the name has to be able to bring out a crowd and have people be able to remember your music by the name. Like no offfense dude but if I saw an add for a band called Blind Arrogance I would probably think "Battle of the Bands where?" |

You are in a band, which is supposed to be entertaining (i.e. showing a good time) to your customers; I think words that bring out negative feelings in your potential fan base should be avoided.
I'm not saying that your band name needs to be "Fluffy Little Kitten and the Cinnamon Buns," but something a little less negative may play better.
If the band is good enough, they should be able to get beyond whatever name is picked.

I would change it, but that's just me.
No offence - I'm sure you sound great, that's just what the name says to me.  |

Even if the explanation is cool. But remember that you're not going to be there everytime to explain your bands name. |

"Blind Arrogance" feels negative, and you won't want to have to explain your name to everyone. Trust me...been there, done that. Its not fun.

| | Bassists do it with 2 fingers...and a thumb | | Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: East Coast | | | it's a standard name. Not bad, but not catchy either. Sort of "expected."
Again, as I've said, band names mean nothing - if you're good, your name could be "Dog Poop" and you'll get gigs. If you're not good, the name won't help you.

|  | I fling carrots | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Scranton, PA | | | I think it's important to remember that a TON of bands have horrible/ridiculous names. We don't perceive it that way 'cause they are famous.... So the name MUST be cool right???
I mean, If no one ever heard of them, and someone came on here and said, "Hey we just renamed our band. Stone Temple Pilots. What do you think?" They'd get equal negativity. How about Chevelle? Audioslave? (I still hate that one). Limp Bizkit??? Aerosmith? American Hi-Fi? Bowling for Soup for god's sake???
The list goes on and on and on of silly/stupid names.
With that being said, I like Blind Arrogance. Just be sure not to emulate your name and you'll be cool.
