What's the deal with long band names

[Doomguy]

Their first full length is actually good. >_>

No it isn't.

 

[Ross]

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

Fucking awesome album, really fucking good.

 

[Jreg]

While some of these names are abhorrently strange, many aren't exactly bad. They just happened to have been appropriated by bands that cultivate that particular image, logo style, overdone/overhyped sound, etc.

 

[youdontknowme]

Wecamewithbrokenteeth was one, I think.

I actually tried to audition for that band once. but when they saw my influences they never talked to me again.

See You Next Tuesday used to play shows here a lot, thankfully I never went to one.

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

Not at all.

 

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

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.

How the hell is the name Heaven Shall Burn "fucking teenage faggotry"? What is teenage about that name? Was Marduk's album title "Heaven Shall Burn...When We Are Gathered" also teenage by the same definition, or was it closer to a 20-something?

One name that I think is especially stupid is Here Comes the Kraken. Something about a band starting their name with "Here Comes" strikes me very negatively.

 

[Blind Guardian]

The name Thou Shalt Suffer sounds a bit misleading in regards of genre these days.

Thats different, its an album title and the same rules dont apply.

Different type of music.

 

[Tennyson]

My local used CD store has had one of their albums for quite a while. It's intriguing. It's not metal, btw.

 

[MetalAges]

funny how my post got deleted, whereas the man with the ignorant opinion got to keep his. someone's playing favorites!

...and you wonder why you got banned.

@ youdontknowme/ohiogrinder

that has nothing to do with it. obviously some of the mods have a problem with me that they're not man enough to admit.

No favs, just that most people can argue/give an opinion without the need to throw some personal insult out at another member. It only takes a little common sense to figure that out, and if you can't muster up a little of that, then you get banned for a while. Nothing to do with "manning up" but all to do with bitch slapping members who can't easily follow that simple rule. DD I'm pretty sure will find out before long (there's your last chance DD, and no reply needed).

 

[MetalAges]

...Oh and thread cleaned, probably with some casualties.

Keep on topic.
