Time for a Name Change?

[hibernal_dream]

I see no-one has bothered arguing against the propositions they disagree with. Wonderful!

Many bands have changed their name for the reasons I gave.

 

[Seance]

because the whole thing is silly.

The "founding members" are irrelevant because they didn't do shit for the band.

The music hasn't "changed too much" because there's nothing radically different from one album to the next. With the exception of Damnation, they're all metal albums with contrasting extreme/soft vocals, hard/soft music, and long lengths. They haven't pulled some kind of radical Ulver genre-shift at any point in their discography.

I don't see how changing the band name would do anything for creativity. It's just a name.

Since there's no sensible reason(s) to change the band name in the first place, there's no reason to even go into coming up with arguments against it.

Do you want to change your own name because you look nothing like you did when you were a baby?

No

Just as Megadeth = Dave, Opeth = Mike

There are two who actually agree with the poster. SPEAK UP!

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I believe nowadays Opeth no longer represent the quality, nor the artistic vision of the original Opeth, therefore, a name change could very well be in order.

 

[westknadrian]

lol don corleone is the master of posting those cheesy message board pictures

 

[Selkie]

Er, I never said I agreed with a name change.

 

[Triton]

I say they should change their name to "Opeth", it sounds the best. If they did ever get a name change eventually, what would they possible think of, "City of The Moon" or some cheesy name like MoonForce-that would be an idiotic thing to do, changing Opeth into something else.

 

[westknadrian]

moonforce would be awesome

 

[Triton]

moonforce would be awesome

Sarcasm is awesome. Think about it...Mike doing gay Dragonforce vocals and getting Fredrik to play bad on guitar on purpose...would make an awesome new album.

 

[westknadrian]

if i'm ever in another band i'm calling it moonforce period

Guys, they should just change their name to
