So, I was browsing one day through Last.fm, and I find this underground black metal act called Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, and I coulnd't help but to wonder how on EARTH do you come up with something so lame and wannabe cvlt. I mean seriously... I don't really care if their music is good (and since I hate black metal, for me probably not).

So, got any similar ones to share? Remember, we're talking about lame, stupid names, not how good or bad their music is.

I don't like names: "Anaal Natrakh", "Anal Cunt" and near this... I think that it is not necessarily to create such very "sreaming" names. If band want to attract people by its name it's better to attract by something another methods.

I agree on this one. Never got the idea behind names like these..

I also don't get (hed) pe and ...AAAARRGHH... (dot's included in the name). And also ReVamp, as mentioned on the first page.

Fils du Lys
Job For A Cowboy... WTF??? Lame band name for a band that plays lame music, I guess... Also grindcore bands with stupid gore names like Cattle Decapitation; flower power bands with fluffy names like Fairyland; BM bands with Lord of the Rings names like Gorgoroth. Though Gorgoroth sounds very evil. And for good bands, Butterfly Temple and Subway to Sally are very ridiculous names.

Made Out Of Babies is actually pretty good experimental, avant-garde type stuff. I'm not going to say it's the greatest thing I've ever heard, but uninspired is way off the mark on that one.

Besides, you have Airbourne on your favourite bands list...er...I mean "bands I have a slight interest in" list, they are the very definition of uninspired. Judging by the rest of your list, Made Out Of Babies is playing in a genre you really don't listen to at all anyways.

Speaking about the lamest names, I'd say "Metallica". I guess it is in general quite lame when a band incorporates the name of the genre they play into their own name but I can't think of any other examples. Well, ska bands often do that but that's quite off-topic.

like Mephiskapheles?

Judging by the the name I didn,t felt attracted to Made Out Of Babies.I thought it was just another Metalcore act.And I agree ther is nothing new with Airbourne but its great party music to listen to and I don't think think that their commitnment to Hard Rock is a bad thing.

I'm gonna agree that iwrestledabearonce would be on my bottom ten for band names. And bottom ten bands, while we're at it.

There's also a band called the Farmer Boys, which I'll admit I kind of like the name but it is kind of stupid too. At least their music is good.

It's 3.47am here and I thought of those off the top of my head. God knows what I'd find if I actually searched and included non-metal stuff too...

Rhapsody Of Fire, no need for comment.

Since they put this "of fire" at the end of it, their name sounds like the epitome of cheesiness. Laughable.

But there are hundreds of metal bands with retarded names that make me puke.

You're right, they are more metalcore than grindcore. I think the chaotic elements tend to put off a lot of would-be metal core fans, while the metal core tends to put off a lot of would-be grindcore fans. I think that's the reason they get bashed so much. I'm not a musician, so I realy cant comment on that aspect, but I know what I like when I hear it.

Yuppe! Music is not always about how talented a band is but also how does one one feel when they listen to that said band.If that sound rocks your boat well listen to it and don't give a shit about what others think of it.

One lame band name now would have to be Holy Moses.

I think that Drowning Pool is decent, and that Disturbed is a great name. And yeah, Limp Bizkit does take the cake. (Linkin Park gets close too)

In all seriousness, I don't see how a name like that would be pretentious. To me, it sounds goofy and humble. In this case, I suppose that it depends on what said music would be like though...

Well, technically, being sassy is being "rude" or "inappropriate" in a cute and fashionable manner. One is usually sassy when they are trying to be playful and/or flirtatious. AND I WOULD KNOW. Just wanna clear that up.

*sigh* more hate for anything nu-metal related. Take a drink.

I'll agree with another person here, Disturbed and Drowning Pool aren't bad at all, 36 Crazyfists I like...though it is pretty cheesy. The other ones I'll agree with you on though.

That would be me. And yeah, I noticed his undying hate for nu-metal; some names from the list indeed are lame, but some certainly aren't.

As for Korn, I grew so accustomed to the name that I love it, though I can understand if people consider it cheesy, it probably is.
