TEODOR TUFF is dead...Welcome to CROSSNAIL!

[labrekk]

This name was quite weird, so good move for the band IMO. Nice to get new material soon.

 

[Mardoch]

I'm not really sure there's a lot of upgrade there.

I'm not really sure there's a lot of upgrade there.

Some, not much.

 

[General Zod]

They've upgraded from a silly band name, to a lame band name (unless they're becoming a Christian rock band). Regardless, strange decision to change band names.

 

[dtfanatic]

The problem is that these non-English first language bands keep putting together words we would never say together and they sound dumb. Firewind comes to mind.

 

[Oblivion Ocean]

Yea, this is an upgrade.....


In the same kind of way that dropping a brick on your foot would be an upgrade over dropping a bowling ball on your foot.


Regardless, as long as the music is as good on the next one as it was on the last one, they could have changed their name to Shitstain, Guntrigger or Limozeen for all I care.

 

[mattbrood]

the last Teodor album kicked major ass but yeah it was a silly name…CrossNail sounds like a name with religious connotations

When I spoke to Seeb from Orden Ogan he mentioned that he now runs his lyrics passed a few friends who are native English speakers. I've always wondered why more bands don't utilize such a tactic.

I don't see why Firewind is your example. There are lots of instances of those two things playing together that are not in any way goofy or illogical.

[MYSTIC1]

They ARE a Christian band as far as I can tell.....

 

[dtfanatic]

It's my example because it's the first thing I thought of. I could've said Raintime and it would've been just as dumb. Don't take it personally. You're welcome to give more. If you've ever said Firewind together or heard someone who has outside of the name of the band I wouldn't believe it for a second.

The irony in this sentence runs deep.

P.S. The little song samples sound killer! Looking forward to this one.

Sorry... I'm missing the irony. Care to elaborate?

He was referring to your typo:

"he now runs his lyrics passed a few friends who are native English speakers."

I don't know....I thought it was because of the name Orden Ogan....that should have been run by a few native English speakers too, I'm guessing.

Loved the Soliloquy CD - "Tower of Power" is a regular on my workout playlists. Agree with those who aren't sure the name is an upgrade - although at least Crossnail doesn't sound like a character that should be frolicking in the 100 Acre Wood with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

 

[templeofmax]

Great band!!! Who cares about the name, although there is no upgrade here!!!

I also think it's not much of an upgrade, but compared to that it certainly would be!

In any case they're a great band and hope they continue to make good music!

It might have been a nod to the classic Uli Jon Roth album Fire Wind.
