A couple of friends and I decided to start a (Hard Rock) band as we were quite skilled musicans, so we did.

One important aspect of a band is its name. It is what defines you and what sparks intrest in you.

I know many people say 'Oh the names not important' but It is at the stage where we need to pick one.

The problem is I had 2 really good original names that I wanted but one of my friends (Lead Guitar) doesn't like them and wants another name thats sounds corney as hell. (I can't give you the name sorry as you may but probably wont steal them)

My questions is, how can I convince someone about the name? Do I just keep annoying him about it?

Also, if you have any good suggestions for bands names that would help (You can have 1% of the profits if we use it) :D

Edit: That was my 666 post....:twisted:

Those sound way too much like videogame titles... I'd recommend going to wikipedia and look up a subject that facinates you, wether it be space, the ocean, or whatever, then sort of skim through the pages to look for a word that you think might make a good name, or a combination of said words.

I got:

Parkerization can refer to:

  • Parkerizing, a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear.
  • Wine Parkerization the widespread stylization of wines to please the taste of influential wine critic Robert M. Parker

what kind of music your band play?SkyFlakez

Sort of Hard Rock/Metal, or as my friends likes to say we play Psychedelic Metal

I'm claiming 1% of your profits because that's exactly how much of my brain I used to come up with it.


1% of 1,000,000 is like.. what? .... 3,000,000?? Sounds good to me.

The less it sounds like a rock band the more rock it is.

I have a band too,but we're having trouble coming up with a name.You could use something like Fragment or something,as there's no band named that on Wikipedia.According to Wikipedia you should call it Dynamin,which is actually pretty cool,I think.
