Horrible Band Names

by **Grunvirdym** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:17 pm

Hey, I thought I would create this thread for posting the worst possible band name wether they be pretentious, disgusting (unless it is on purpose as with most grindcore bands) , or downright weird!

I will start out with

Orange Goblin

It is rather uncreative. The members even said they had orange because all of their favorite bands had a color in the beginning of their names and Goblin because they all like Lord of the Rings.

Back in the 1950s, a singing teenage duo decided, for some reason, to call themselves Tom and Jerry. They made music for a while, then focused on college. By the time they finally hit the big time in 1964, apparently they had decided that it would be better for them to use their real surnames. Simon & Garfunkel doesn't sound so bad, right? It's definitely not a dumb name.

"We Butter the Bread With Butter" or "iwrestledabearonce" come to mind as being some of the worst bands names in existence. I don't listen to either of them (nor would I want to), but it is hard not to forget names that are this atrocious. On another note I was going to post the name of a few Grindcore bands, but it seems the OP has already noted in regards to them.

There's a band called the The Child Molesters and another called Evil Edna's Horror Toilet. I don't listen to either of these bands because what's the likelihood that they actually have good music?

Limp Bizkit - shitty band, shitty band name.

Drenge - it sounds like a livestock disease.

Butthole Surfers. I also don't like The Tragically Hip that much.

I always liked the name Orange Goblin... :unsure:

Worst? Most scene metalcore or crunkcore bands.

The Dubliners, America, Kansas, and Europe are some that I can think of.

Asia, Chicago, Beirut, Boston, Linkin Park, the Kingston Trio,

It's just really tedious.

Bolt Thrower.

I laugh every time I see and hear the name.

XD I agree with you completely

Anything that uses one proper name (and sometimes one or more silly made up nouns) to summarize a group of people (random example I doubt exists: the Tom Smith band, Sammy and the Cooldudes, Pop star Elly, ect.) An exception is Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, those guys were pretty awesome.

Sorry, but no commies allowed within 50 miles of this thread.

The The. Yes it's a thing.

by **Pot4toes** » Sat Oct 03, 2015 6:06 pm

The Square Roots. It sounds like more of a geek club than a band.

Are you the OP? No.

Yes, I know. There's also The Band, which is actually so uncreative that it's pretty good. It's THE Band.
