My band are coming up with a new name for our band and we've cut it down to these 4. Please help!

I'm a fan of "The Young Guns"

...probably because I'm a sucker for any band that begins with "the" (and they are many).

Most people i know don't like bands coz they have "the" at the start.

They all sound like names for cover bands to me.

Instead of "Young Guns" you should try "Lucky Guns".

The reason for it being young guns is coz we're all relatively young, i'm 17 myself.

Where's the option for "90 seconds on Google reveals that all 4 names have been taken"?

My vote is for "The Rusty Blimps"

How about "Pile of Crap" ? I've never heard your band, so nothing personal. I just really think this would generate a lot of interest. And, as a bonus, if your band does happen to suck, people can't really be disapointed.

i vote for "young dumbass"

though it may start a fight between band members what with the whole "the band is named after me" "no, it's named after me."

or you can stick to my last suggestion which was made the last time you made a thread exactly like this. "we suck"

I had decided not to post any more comments on the site because I am always shot down. I am not thin skinned, just bored by people who have nothing nice to say.

I did have to vote here and respond to your poll. I love the name Stereo. I can't imagine someone has not used it before. I remember being pissed off when Bauhaus used that name and I had not thought of it first, but also, why would I? I was not in a great band who were born, at least partially, out of Bowie/Eno (two gods) collaborations and one of my favorite bands of all time, I also love Love and Rockets, comics and band, David J's solo work, Dali's Car was o. k. with me but only release? Peter Murphy was amamzing at his solo show at 328, I think of it as one of the best shows I ever saw. The lighting was so beautiful and no one ever thanks the tech crews. Sorry post-Bauhaus fans I failed to mention Tones on Tail, I loved them Daniel Ash was a great vocalist, what happened to him, only one solo release, but beautiful? I loved Daniel Ash's Blue moon, so haunting....

My point, and I do have one is, Stereo sounds like someone might have used it, but if not, I like it a lot. I am all the way behind any new band regardless of name or age. I just wish there was more exposure for artists. I was so frustrated when I was in art school and it was impossible to get a good show at a decent venue.

So whomever you are if you are STEREO! rock on and let me know where you are playing I will try to come and see you.

All the best to you, rock on!!!!

That's no reason to quit posting here. This place is much friendlier than it was at one time! That being said, 90% of it's all sarcasm.

Moreover, the original poster wanted feedback on a band name and they got it. He/She can use the poll results, or just realize that no one care's about their band's name unless the music is good.

Well, since my first post was obviously ignored:

The Stereo

Young Guns


Run! Hide!

An Easy Way Out

Myspace count:

Easy Way Out: 4
Young Guns: 9
Run & Hide: 0 (but there is a Run! Hide! on there)
Stereo: 0 (but there are 2 for The Stereo)

i think all these names are awesome!!1 and i';m sure you guys sound real great! but hey do any of you guys think that any of these band names could be taken all ready? i bet there are lots of people out their that like \guns and are also young or nott that old and play music.! lolz!

"StereoFuse" who sang that annoying song "Everything" later dropped Fuse from their name, thus becoming "Stereo".

ARRRRRGGGHHHH!

i'm glad you asked. i took the liberty of googling all those band names and discovered that they're all taken.

I'm not sure, but those names sound like they're probably taken. Can anyone confirm?

Indeed, they have been:


The Stereo

Young Guns


Run! Hide!

An Easy Way Out

I'm taking my ball and going home.

Thanks for clearing that up, fact checker. Boy do I have some bootlegs to share with you.

It would appear that "The Rusty Blimps" is still available, however.

let this thread serve as a lesson to those who don't read entire threads before posting because an important piece of information was overlooked...

carl just admitted to having only one ball

Hey, Lance only needed one to win the Tour like 50 times AND land Cheryl Crow!

yeah....there's a prize.

He gave her cancer. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving...

But when Cheryl realized he only had one ball, she left him.

Shows you how well I keep up with that crap. Maybe he'll go back to his family now?

It's okay man, double checking people's posts probably takes a bit of time and energy

My dad called his band "Four Meat Buffet" for a while. It looked funny on a marquee other than Shoneys'.

Living in Austin puts useless Lance Armstrong information at the forefront

by the way, the stereo is a great band. a very fun listen. sort of joe, marc's brother and weezer's red-headed stepchild.

are any of those complete sentences? eh.

Wait. Are you saying there's already a band called The Stereo!?!

oh shit! i mean...in no way do i know of a band called the stereo! it is nice of you to finally chime in on this thread though, carl.

i voted the easy way out. and i like it better when i add "the"

good luck to you and your band!
