Happy Jack Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Having just been through the ritual three months of argument and daftness that characterise choosing a name for a new band, I've just realised that the solution has been staring me in the face all along. Basschat topic titles. All these are on the first two pages of General Discussion, Off Topic, plus a couple of others: Playing Dives The Twin Necks Sending Demos Front Derailleur Englandshire Opposite Karma Good Vinyl Ripping Long-haired Blokes Boldly Plugging Homebrew Advice People With Air Rifles The Sad And Tragic Failures Much Headlessness Order Imminent Why Speakers Blow Rich Bubbly Quote

Norris Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Why Speakers Blow is a great band name Edit: I'm surprised you're not considering "Can't Hear Myself Warm Up At Rehearsal So I Now Just Sit And Wait" though Edited July 27, 2015 by Norris Quote
mrtcat Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Bugger. We just chose a new name. After endless debating I'm not gonna mention this though cos I don't think I can go through it all again. Quote
sprocketflup Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I was given the quite frankly awesome "Because we're arseholes" on my FB feed the other day. Im thinking probably a Radiohead tribute..... Quote
skankdelvar Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I've always thought it would be so much easier just to number bands. Here Tonight In Concert: Number 378 - with special guests number 4472. Support: number 38,926 Quote
HowieBass Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 You also have the option of 'Untitled' followed by a number which happens with some abstract painters' works (so it then naturally becomes a titled work). Quote
Dad3353 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 You left out many more than you've posted, in fact there's few that couldn't be considered. With (to date...) 437 pages, the supply is inexhaustable. What was wrong with these, though, just too many to list..? [i]Depression[/i] [i]The Famous Quotes[/i] [i]Rants and the Libelous Statements[/i] [i]Lord Sewel[/i] [i]3-Door Estate Cars[/i] [i]Bad Jokes[/i] [i]The Bird Shower[/i] More still if combinations are allowed... [i]Mac Gaming and the Scary Sounds[/i] [i]Aphids of the English language[/i] A rich lode just waiting to be mined, indeed. Quote
dannybuoy Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Some from the most recent threads:[list] [*]Playlist Help Required [*]Paying The Bill [*]Whatever Happened To Rock and Roll [/list] And from the oldest topics in off topic:[list] [*]The Perfect Band [*]What on Earth is Post-Hardcore? [*]Grade 6 Theory Exam [*]How Old is Too Old? [*]Easy Money [*]A Walk in the Park [*]Sgt. Pepper's Woeful Farts Club Band [*]Metal Illness [/list] A veritable goldmine! Quote
sprocketflup Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 And, if im not much mistaken, "Band Names - A Fresh Approach" hasn't been taken yet either Quote
Mornats Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Happy Jack Wins the Internet is going to be my new band name. Quote
Bassman Sam Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) No Politics. No Religion. No Sexism. Dick Waving and the Fast Cars. Edited July 27, 2015 by Bassman Sam Quote
The Admiral Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Hmmm..... Just wondering if 'Any good for metal' would work? Genius idea. Quote
4-string-thing Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Anyone already said Beware Of Mr Baker? Edited July 28, 2015 by 4-string-thing Quote
BassTractor Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Bloody bad advice! My new band Rickenbacker 4003 immediately received less-than-agreeable e-mails. Don't do this, people! (Other than that: pure genius! ) Edited July 28, 2015 by BassTractor Quote
Bobthedog Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 If any thread titles of mine are used for a band name I claim copyright and demand 50% of all royalties! 😊 Quote
