RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I haven't heard any of their stuff. Guess I'm just too old, but Scouting for girls really irritates me. It sounds too jimmy saville/ Rolf Harris . Repulsive . Are there any band names you hate , regardless of whether you like them or not?

Rich Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I thought Scouting For Girls was a play on Baden-Powell's 'Scouting For Boys' book title? It is a dreadfully naff name, admittedly. I swear as much as the next docker, but I detest band names with profanity in them (that Anal C bunch being a a prime example). Trying faaar too hard to be controversial. "Look at us, we're being rude! *snigger*". Oh, grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The Killers. I mean really...how many of us would read a wanted ad for a bass player, see that the band was called the killers and then dismiss it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthedog Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Throbbing Gristle and Die Toten Hosen (or in English: The Dead Trousers) are but two that come to mind. One of my father's bands also figures: The Gut Bucket. They were all surgeons but never the less, not, IMHO a good band name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I used to knock around with these guys (if you look closely on the credits on the album, I am mentioned as 'the other Rob Palmer); they toured with Magnum and had Grant Nicholas from Feeder as lead vocalist for a period, They have reformed and are about to play some Prog festivals etc. Some ok material and I don't like to be disloyal but the name....?

KevB Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 How about 'Scraping foetus off the wheel'? yes, they existed (band name changed I think but all had 'foetus' in them somewhere). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
