band name rule

[einride]

i just came up with this and without thinking about it for more than 2 seconds i dare you to prove that it does not hold true:

any band with a name consisting of 5 words or more invariably SUCKS

 

[Ellestin]

3 words or more I'd say

 

[supseudonymous]

[The artists formerly known as] The Lord Weird Slough Feg

 

[Hell Mike]

3 words or more I'd say

Nah, too many exceptions (Gospel of the Horns, Grand Belial's Key, At the Gates, Fenriz' Red Planet etc)

[The artists formerly known as] The Lord Weird Slough Feg

Not that good tbh

 

[lurch70]

WitTR

 

[swizzlenuts]

Not that good tbh

Bullshit.

 

[skeptik]

Order of the Ebon Hand

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

3 words or more I'd say

Bohren & der Club of Gore. I'm pretty sure you recommended them once.

 

[einride]

Order of the Ebon Hand

aww man

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
The Future Sound of London
The Jesus and Mary Chain
The Mamas and the Papas
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers



THEREFORE: if the band begins with "the," or has "and the" in the middle, they're fine

 

[Reign in Acai]

Silent Stream of Godless Elegy

 

[Dick Sirloin]

*if your band name has two or more adjectives*

 

[cthulufhtagn]

any band with a huge sticker on the front of their album saying "FOR FANS OF..." almost invariably sucks


there's a nile cd at my work that has a sticker on the front that says "for fans of: nile..."

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

So it fits with your rule considering niles recent works
