i thought i'd make a thread for people to explain where they think band names came from..

 

i've got a few as examples:

 

Fall Out Boy:

sumone just came out of the homosexual closet and people were pushing him around.... they kept shouting "fall out boy!"

 

 

U2:

Bono was beign a nuissance with his mate and this guy went "oi! you two! U2!"

 

Radiohead:

u know how people can pick up FM signals in their tooth fillings? do u think sumone went "haha! u've got a radiohead!"

 

Feeder:

sumone's baby was feeling very hungry and needed food...the lead singer was annoyed so he shouted at the drummer "feed-er!"

 

U2:

Bono was beign a nuissance with his mate and this guy went "oi! you two! U2!"

 

 

a woman called fiona has become the bully of england.....and is reffered to as......."hard fi!" :D

 

most of mine are made up..well all of mine are :laugh3: but you can post odd true ones aswell :D

 

now your turn :D

Well I have a true one about my band:

 

We're called Contradiction and we were sitting around trying to come up with a name before that one. We kept referring to songs and bands we liked and finally I started singing Muse's "Time Is Running Out". During the first verse the line days "You're something beautiful; a contradiction." And we were all like, "How about Contradiction"? And it just stuck.

my cousin's band is named 'OWCH!' because he knicked his knee on a coffee table. :D!

^ that's class :D i wish band names came easily to me...everyone's already got teh ones i think up! :lol:

 

 

i just thought of another

a few priests were told to bless all roads and that in the world...and they had 3 days to do it ..they were "manic street preachers"

Turin found it hard to drive. He had trouble using the breaks in his car. He tried and tried to use them but he just couldn't get the hang of it. One day tho he got the hang of it and managed to break just right. The people outside in the street were amazed and shouted "wow Turin Brakes"
