Great music, sh*tty band name

Band names that switch out perfectly good "c"s for "k"s usually come out looking cheesy. And I say this as a Kamelot fangirl. 
Raunchy's sort of odd, too, but I haven't heard much of them. And Manimal, auugh!
I think Fairyland is a horribly cheesy name, but I thought this had an interesting point and never thought to look at it from that angle. There was nothing particularly offensive/defensive about this post vs. your contributions to other threads, so the dogpiling is really confusing me.

Not even going to bother responding to Claus' statements.
He pisses and moans continuously about everything he is just as, if not more, guilty of himself.
In reference to my statement, give me a break.
We all take friendly pot shots at bands someone likes that we don't.
All I said was, "No one sent me that memo"
I didn't go into "Oh they are Hot Topic, NOT KVLT blasphemous black metal"

I keep seeing this thread adjacent to one on "Golden Resurrection", which sounds like a reference to a Robert Mapplethorpe photograph.

I'm a big fan of all three of these bands:
1. Edguy...this one has already been answerd
2. Tad Morose...what the hell is a Tad Morose?
3. Brainstorm...it just doesn't fit a "metal" band imo.
All three of those names leave me scratching my head!

Eh, not really hardcore, more like extreme crust, like GISM, LIP CREAM, etc.
If we extend this thread to punk and hardcore bands,we could REALLY have a good time!!!! (Though only a couple of us would find it entertaining)

I can think of many many terrible band names, my shelves are full of them. But I well say a funny one I discovered this year is a pretty cool Polish thrash band called Razorwyre. They changed their name from their original moniker Gaywyre. And as if that name would not be difficult enough to live down the band's recent EP is titled 'Coming Out'. I can help but to think that these decisions were not well thought out, or maybe it is inside jokes. Still a pretty good band.
A couple of other good ones are Satan's Almighty Penis and Dumpy's Rusty Nuts. Oh and Winger, serious Kip and you wonder why Winger became such a joke.

IIRC - and Urban can correct me on this - I believe they got the name from a Schenker(?) interview saying something about something be a tad morose. That was a while ago when someone from the band told me the story and I could be way off.

These are all bands I can (not so) proudly say I have in my library. They're not all metal bands, but they have their redeeming qualities that make up for the horrible names. Some just have to work harder than others

AC has already been subtly mentioned in here...god what an awful band name...and the 1st thing that came to mind when I saw this thread.
Not really metal...but I always thought Cheap Trick was just a horribly stupid name for a band...

I like the Brainstorm name, but the other two are stupid. I never cared for the Tad part ... sounds a "little" silly to me.

Well for one thing, considering that this is a musical discussion I thought it would make sense. For another, the fact that Fairyland is a French band (or at least the main guy from Fairyland is French), is also why I used Neige (a Frenchman). Figured you could put 2 and 2 together.
Second of all, I can full-well distinguish opinion from fact. Actually if anything, it's you that fails to make that distinction. Forum search where I said you're not entitled/don't have the right to an opinion. Just like you have the right to it, I have the right to express mine, which is that I've seen alot people say Fairyland is a bad name but I don't think so at all. And I think saying it because you think fairies are girly is like saying I don't like sushi because it's not American. So are you asserting that I cannot think that way just because YOU think Fairyland is a shitty name? Hmm.
And it's cool you think CoF is a cool name. Why would I ever try to take that away from you? When have I ever tried to?

All of those crust bands originate from hardcore. And yes, I agree that we def. could haha. Alotta bands with silly names.
