Jack's Band Name

Got a band name yet Jack? If not, may I suggest "Mint" as a suitable name?

Trouble is, I don't think "Mint" is a mint name

i do.

smells of a pub band doing Manilow covers if you ask me.

nothing wrong with that, is there? perhaps that's jack's calling?

Nah, dont think it works

We have come up with a few we like already

But we aint telling you yet

It's a secret

I think this thread should clearly be a "sticky" thread.

Mike the Mod, make it happen!! (liking the electronic reference there?)

Bermuda Triangle, it makes things disappear, Just see it from my angle, Don't go to near..

*croons*

fucking big-nosed genius.....

how about "Yo' Mama"?

as in "Dude, what band are we seeing?"

"Yo' Mama"

Dosnt quite project the image we are looking for though

Hmmm....like how its "Jack's band name", like hes the only one in it...

why don't you call it twatto

"Good evening everyone, we're Twatto."

I don't think so.

The couple of ideas we have now are pretty good, but to be honest I'm not bothered about names until we can actually meet up and play again!! We need to find somewhere fast

it´s a matter of reading a little about our recent history. of course, IF this kind of subject is appealing to you!

I think that any illusions to his dad's band might want staying away from

That said, i'd name a band Grozny

I may have offered this up before but I'm quite fond of.....

The Movilla Street Monkfish Masacrists

But as Jack says...some songs and regular rehearsals are slightly more important just now :D

For everyone who's seen FIGHT CLUB,how about....

JACK'S COLON

The Royal Mint? Minty Fresh Soundsystem?

You could call it Hook - like Bon Jovi - but I always thought that was a bit cocky.

Try to avoid anything political or anything that tries to make you sound badass (Motley Crue or something like that just makes them sound try hard).

Also avoid combining numbers and letters (ir GENER8 etc cos it sounds like a pub covers band).

And then theres just general crap and lameness to avoid ie. The Love Spuds.

Here's a few for laughs:

1. The Chinchillas
2. Under Where
3. Beer Goggles
4. Fish and Chips

It's a model of acoustic guitar? Or, more likely coming from you Steve, is it some computer rubbish?

since you may actually get to collect, OK :D

And don't forget it also transmits HAL's most important and final message in 2010. "all these worlds are yours except europa Attempt no landing there Use them together Use them in peace"

On a seriously isue tho guys......we really shouldn;t do this to jack and Andy, it's a shitty thing to do to a young band...at best they'll beliee their own hype and become wankers, and at worst they'll buckle under the pressure and slaughter each other live on stage. i think they should get the same amount of abuse and praise as any other band of NOOLers get. Well when they useless bastards record something to let us hear anyway LOL

The Shitty Beatles.....now where did I get that from?

AgentWood wrote: you are not killing my mother!

Don't feel so bad my mom still loves Neil Diamond!

about 6 months ago we were talking and she is going on about how Great Neil is. Mum then says she loves Josh Groban!!! :barf:

I said "Mooommmm, you're a cool mom and cool moms do not like Josh Groban"

at christmas time she will play The Neil Diamond Xmas cd. I tell her that we are listening to the Jewish Elvis-it just does not work

Ed Dalder wrote: The Shitty Beatles.....now where did I get that from?

wayne's world!!!!

my fave films

Actually, there's an idea....why not ask Alan Wise for a name?

Like how i get a capital letter and Jack dosn't...

Geez, give us a chance. Jack's got his GCSE's coming up, it aint my fault. Will be worth the wait though

Anyone like 'Terminal Velocity'?

And is the fact that 'Subculture' is a NO song enough of a reason not to consider it as a name? Just wondering what you lot thought...

Terminal Velocity?

To be honest it sounds a bit... I don't know. I'd say keep looking, but its your band, dude! You gotta be happy with the name.

Nah man I don't like Terminal Velocity

maybe to try for something that the 1000s of fans can yell and chant through the (jammed-packed-to the-rafters)stadiums and cozy pubs that you'll be playing in. think one or two syllables and with something tangible. black quartz. minty, strong, shiny black opal. something that will look rocky & sexy on a poster and that people can associate with. as an idea. 'morning there.

Chantable is important. Not too many sylablles. See how well New orDAH new orDAH works?

If you like a name, try and chant it.

Good idea. It would be mint to hear our name chanted

Or you could go the other way and go for some completely over the top long name, that can be shorted - like Godspeed You Black Emperor > GYBE... I kinda like the quote under your avatar Twatto, you should use that...

Godspeed Snorri The Black Emperor xxx

Yeh i liked that as a band name too

Have to see what Jack thinks, we have a few others we like

Not too long...renders it unchantable.

ask Hook why The Witchdoctors of Zimbabwe didn't get chosen. Cos it's not chantable, that's why. That is the solitary reason.

Pearl Necklace?

But you can always shorten it: Witchdoctors of Zimbabwe > WOZ! Very chantable!

Or: A Pearl Necklace, then at the beginning of gigs the announcer could say: Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: A Pearl Necklace!

Or: What Do You Want? Audience: A Pearl Necklace
