MacDaddy Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Here's a pleasant way to while away a few minutes and get you thinking. Bands, who had songs that were the same as the band name. I'll go first: Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden Talk Talk - Talk Talk Madness - Madness Quote
Low End Bee Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 The Hives have got some serious self referencing form: The Hives Declare Guerre Nucleaire The Hives Introduce the Metric System in Time The Hives Meet the Norm T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S. Quote

Cato Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Ramones. Although the song was actually called R.A.M.O.N.E.S. Bit of an odd one as it was actually a cover of a Motorhead song from the '1916' album which Lemmy wrote in tribute to the band which they then started performing themselves towards the end of their career. Edit: and here it is, with a guest appearance from the man himself. http://youtu.be/yo7hAyonWqE Edited December 16, 2016 by Cato Quote
