What is in your opinion the best band name ever? Also write a little explanation please.

Mine is Rompeprop (dutch for Torsoclot) . The guys from the band where watching some freak show or something on the tv and there was a lady on it with some huge tumor in the area of her torso and one of the guys screamed "Da's ne grote rompeprop!" (That's a big torsoclot!). It might not appeal to non-dutch speaking people, but it's kinda "funny".

Keeping the LOTR inspiration, I don't know if it already exist but Crissaegrim sounds awesome for a band name.

Some bands take bible quotations or symbolism like lamb of god which means sacrifice of jesus christ PBUH.

Diablo Swing Orchestra is a pretty awesome name; shape of despair and ahab are also awesome.

They're good, but they're nothing really great. "Death" is a pretty generic name when you look at it, but it suits the band.

I dunno I think Godflesh is a pretty clever, non typical name; almost an oxymoron.

Names taken from the bible are always cool i think, testament, exodus, lamb of god, avenged sevenfold, etc... also names that contradict themselves are kinda cool, like living sacrafice

How about no? Nothing against brutal death, but the name is nothing that would be considered "best".

They are great. In my opinion.
I would also add Cynic and Atheist.

Satan.

In the case of the NWOBHM one, the name simply screams arrogance in the "we are so awesome that we can actually call our band Satan and it still wouldn't be lame in any way" kind of way. And it gets even better when they actually are awesome enough to back it up.

That's exactly what I like about band names. For me, ideal band name has to be either simple or strange . Or both .

I think that's just an excuse to use the HIM acronym.

Actually first they were named His Infernal Majesty but soon after they changed it to just HIM because some thought they were satanists.

The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza

normally i don't like really long band names but this one is just so awesome and funny!

quote from one of the dudes: "Old ladies sometimes show up at our shows waiting for Tony Danza to come out onstage," guitarist Layne Meylain said. "I'm serious, because a lot of times, they'll put on the marquee 'Tony Danza' instead of our full name. So it'll be, like, 'Tony Danza and the Red Chord.' So these old ladies always show up looking for Tony. It's pretty funny. Apparently, old ladies love Danza."
