AppyDAZE Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 You're starting a band up, you need a name. The serious and the ridiculous welcomed. As a bedroom guitar player, music fan, aging hippy, this, that and the other.. from time to time, i like to think .. yeah, what should I call this band I've just got started? Death By 12-string ? Municipal Liars ? Thrive ? Prize ? Prise ? Orchard Murder ? ÆØÅ ? I Fought A War For The Likes Of You ? Fitter ? (ask a Norwegian friend, and it makes more sense, clue: it begins with a C) Come on, let's be 'avin yoo. I want your suggestions. Must state genre of music to be played by your new lot.

The Saturday Boy Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 In the mid / late 80s I saw Toyah at the Colston Hall. Support band were called "Now is the time to forget the whimpering child and become the warrior". How I remember that ridiculous name I'll never know, but they didn't make it anywhere near big!

AppyDAZE Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 GOD comes in all tastes of colours.(phenomenal album that it is btw acid rock at its best imo) Smiths?Not sure I hear too much Smiths here "Play loud, play on mushrooms", as it states on the back cover. Reluctantly took their advice.. yeah There Is No God will undoubtedly be huge, but will they sell out? I'm going, yes and they will and leave us that were there at the start well pissed. ****, maybe they will even go on to find God and start sounding like Sir Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money, fame and awards all pointless. The band will split and reform some years later, leaving behind everything that made them famous. Touring local fetes and the occasional 'One Show' set, providing the new music intro to 'Songs of Praise' as well as headlining 'Countryfile Live', the band will be reborn as 'Jehovah's Witness', leaving an adoring public and music press alike aghast.

The vocalist / main bloke bloke made one very good solo record to be fair Meat is Magnificent. A bit preachy, but how could one argue with the sentiments? Fair play to the guy. PS No way is "psalms" their best, but it's all about opinions I suppose In fact, if i'm being honest. i reckon that Dorothy bloke is a bit of a ****.

Major Isewater Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I started a band at college we were called the Gimix. It may be coincidence that John Cooper Clarke put out an album called ‘ Gimmicks play loud ‘ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Julian Cope, Ian McCollough and Pete Wylie apparently started a band called The Crucial 3, before they went their separate ways. They never recorded anything, I can imagine that with three egos of that size, there were probably just spent hours of arguments over whose band it was etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
