What's the deal with long band names

[Draehl]

Probably because most interesting few-syllabled band names have been taken? There's a LOT of bands out there across the genres. I'm sure it's pretty difficult to come up with one that sounds good and hasn't already been taken.

 

[Eligos]

Just change the letters of the name of one of the great innovative bands of your genre. Daath did it.

Personally I think I'm gonna go with Brrzm.

 

[Krow]

You forgot The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza (or whatever the bloody fuck it is)

I really dislike when several words are crammed into one as the band title. iwrestledabearonce? Fuck that with a pointy stick.

 

[Eligos]

Wecamewithbrokenteeth was one, I think.

 

[Belligerent]

I'd like to break every one of their teeth for naming their band something that fucking retarded.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Success Will Write Apocalypse Across the Sky < * names possible

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

The name is cool BUT THE BAND IS A TRAP

Not really, if you don't think Deaf to Our Prayers is fucking badass, get out.

 

[Vimana]

The Original Slowhand and The Evil Minions kick ass. I don't care how long their name is.

 

[Eligos]

Success Will Write Apocalypse Across the Sky < * names possible

I'm opening for them in July.

 

[Skepticism]

Wolves in the Throne Room ... ?

 

[Eligos]

Agoraphobic Nosebleed has seven syllables if that counts.

 

[Krow]

Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis

As many times as I've tried... I cant string that into one flowing word.

 

[Xorv]

With a name like that I think I need to check them out.

Wolves in the Throne Room -

 

[Krow]

Their first full length is actually good. >_>

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Not really, if you don't think Deaf to Our Prayers is fucking badass, get out.

If we're gonna be talking about long band names we should mention long song titles....

Wormphlegm (epic funeral doom)

[Hubster]

I fail to see how three words is long. And Heaven Shall Burn is a cool band name.

No its not. Its fucking teenage faggotry as is any of these stupid kinds of band names. It's the whole faux-tough/evil/-core thing. Fuck em all.

 

[Harry Hughes]

Wolves in the Throne Room ... ?

I dig the name, it suits the vibe of their music.

 

[Onder]

My deathcore band would be named Tsunami Killed My Aunt Yet I Still Talk To Her.

YES! I really fucking hate those longassonesentencenamesthatjustreekoffagness..btw i googled iwrestledabearonce and was completely shocked that was a real bandname, i thought you just made it up!

The -core phenomena is the new glam metal of the 2000's I'm tellin ya! and yes glam metal is gay.
