Worst Band Names...

Alot of these names sound like they were made up by 11 year olds during gym class....which is probably the average maturity level of the band members involved.

They also had a side project band called "The Jack Officers"

Some really good bands with odd names do exist...

• Blind Guardian. Wonderful band, but that name, oh well, seems better fit for a doom/goth band than a flamboyant power metal band. I'd expect something more flashy, like what their Italian counterparts have got. Or rather, most Euro power metal bands.
  
• Rage. You don't want to be heard in public saying you "like Rage", as you'd be frowned upon. Worse, many still confuse Rage/Avenger with an annoyance who rake up questionable socialist issues while making big money in Los Angeles. Their label? Capitalist Sony Music.
  
• Nocturnal Rites. At least this is a nod to the time when they were a death metal band.
  
• Vicious Rumors. You get the feeling they're some kind of 80s boogie-metal or glam band. Not at all.
  
• Most hardcore/metalcore/death bands (and many alternative acts) fit in here.

Blind Guardian is a nod to Lord of the Rings, isn't it? Makes perfect sense to me.

Lots of LA glam bands fit, sadly:
Xciter
Slut
Salty Dog
XYZ
Lypswitch
Syanide Kick
Blackboard Jungle
Fizzy Bangers

I generally think band with the word Steel in them are very cheesy and uninspired. They are not the worst names (those are for the medico-grind core bands) but Sacred Steel and the like just turn me off from the moment I hear the name. I know it will be some cheesy power metal and while I have nothing against power metal (much like with black metal, the pioneering bands are awesome) I can't really digest newer and all the clones bands very well.

While searching through the large CD selection of The CD Source, I found the worst band name and worst name for a record label:

Band: Butt Trumpet
Label: Bloodfart

Just told my wife there's a metal band named Goblin C o c k and she spat coffee all over her computer. I can't get her to stop laughing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Metallica is a really crappy name for a band.

I saw a local band called Obsidian Rain which struck me as a really bad name. Goatpenis is also not good!

New Keepers of the Water Towers
Ewigkeit
Blazer Blazer

Dark.

Accept

And the music is just as bad. I bought this one when I lived in CT. It's awful.

Persuader. Like, the person who coolly goads you into doing something. Pretty metal.

I've listened to a few of their songs, and thought they weren't too bad. I just would never publicly announce that "I like Goblin C0ck!"

I always thought the melodic hard rock band "AdrianGale" had a pretty dumb name. I wonder how many interviewers ask them "Okay, so which one of you is Adrian?"

I've never heard them. I'm not about to do a Google search for "Goblin C*ck". That's certain to get a red flag from the IT department.

That's kinda/sorta like the most popular Halloween costume rental in San Fransisco every year, the "weenie goblin"

(they are sometimes called 55, because there are 55 words in their name.)

They'll never fit all that on a concert t-shirt.
