What is the meaning of the name Laaz Rockit?

[desert_demon]

It sort of sounds like "Let's Rock it". Or maybe Rockit = Rocket (as in rocket ship). Anyone know?

According to Metal Archives:

The name Lääz Rockit came from the Clint Eastwood movie "The Enforcer" where Clint ends the film by shooting a tower with a "L"ight "A"nti-tank "W"eapons "S"ystem rocket [LAWS]. The band adopted the name, changing the spelling to Lääz Rockit. The name was chosen to describe their raw energy and explosive stage presence.

Great band. Annihilation Principle is one of my favourite albums

Thanks username345, very interesting. At least I was right on the Rockit = Rocket part.

I always thought it was a takeoff on a military piece of hardware called a LAWS rocket......
