I found this cool article about the other possible band names that famous bands had or were thinking to us and it's hilarious. I wonder what would have happen if Black Sabbath would be The Polka Tulk Blues Band.
http://www.vh1.com/music/tuner/2013-11-26/...a-famous-bands/ Check the article and tell us what names had your bands in the past that you are happy that finally decided to avoid using them... I remember using this names when I was a teenager: Killera Leprechaun Warlock La Pocha -------------------- My lessons

One thing crossed my mind related to this topic.
What do you think about band names from your local countries music scene? What I have noticed here is that bands often choose some names in English, even though they sign in local language. Isn't that a bit weird? To me that instantly makes the band a bit distanced from the target audience (they are singing in local language), also makes it harder for them to get exposure on Youtube, Google and even secure a FB page if the name is already "taken". I also went for such an English name for my latest project (even though the current material is in native language) but I don't have any gigs in plan and it was just a project to begin with that has no clear "vision of the future" and hopes for some international material too. Choosing a name for the band is really difficult btw and yet so important. What are the criterias for choosing a name for the band? Does it has to have a special meaning, reflect the style or...? How do you do it? I know its kinda stupid, but one of my criteria for choosing a band name is how it looks on the poster -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Hendrix could have pulled off "Jimmy James and the Blue Flames"

DAMN!!! Albino Toilet Boys is called for.
Who would have thought a band called "The Butthole Surfers" would turn out like they did? The were awesome. |

I don't like when a band uses a name in English and sings in another language, I think that it doesn't make sense. In some cases I think that choosing an universal name that works in different languages could be a good idea, but it's tricky to find a cool one which isn't used. -------------------- My lessons
