 |  Subject: The other Ultimatum(s)  Wed Jul 08, 2009 9:48 am | |
| I saw a clip on YouTube from a band from Mexico, naming themselves Ultimatum. And when people told them that the name Ultimatum was already taken, they referred to being from Mexico so that made it ok. They also preceded to refer to an older band from Mexico also named Ultimatum, so that also made it ok!?!  Anyway, I thought it would be fun to track down as many Ultimatum(s) as possible, and stumbled upon the aformentioned older Ultimatum from Mexico. Maybe they were the firt ones? _________________  |

| There was a Canadian band called Ultimatum that released a CD as well. I honestly don't understand in this day and age why any band would want to call themselves a name that is already being used. In the 80 and early 90's, it was harder to know of these obscure bands because there was not internet. Now it's as easy as a Google search, and for metal bands, a quick search on Metal-Archives or some site like that. The Mexican band doing the covers on YouTube are really defensive over using the name, despite the fact that numerous people have told them the name is taken and trademarked. Warrior anyone? _________________  |

| I found an "Ultimatum" from Croatia (I think) while trolling YouTube a while back. So that's how many so far, five? "Our" Ultimatum, two Mexican Ultimatums, the Croation Ultimatum, and a Canadian Ultimatum. Are there any more?

| This could be turned into a Reality TV show. Gather all the Ultimatums together, they each play a song, let the viewers vote on which is the best one, and whoever wins gets to keep the name exclusively.

| Someone should put an "Ultimatum" compilation with one song from each one of the bands starting with the 1st Ultimatum to the most recent one . If there was an Ultimatum throw-down, who would win, Scott or the buff dude from the Hungarian version? |

Well, not quite, since it's not the same one word format. Just look at all the bands that start with the word Soul, they easily outnumber all the Sacred bands. But right above it I notice there are at least 11 different bands named Sacrament. I don't see it as a bad thing. It just means that different people from different parts of the world at different times were able to connect with a word or thought or idea that seemed metal to them and it makes the names even more metal in my opinion. |

| I was horrified when I found out some other, slower band than my own was called Speedwolf (our name). But they're not listed on Metal-Archives, and play slower than us. So we have more right to name, I believe.
