I don't envy bands these days. At least before the internet your shitty band could exist in isolation, ignorant of the ten other equally shitty bands around the world that had the same name. No wonder most new bands have lengthy phrases for names now.
I'm a pretty big metal fan, but I tend to stay away from bands named "Goatvomit". I don't know, it seems so trite, like they were cleaning up after a pet or something.
"Gronsur, what are we to name our band?"
"Listen, Doomshackle, I don't have time for this right now, I have to clean up the... goat...vomit..."
"Wow, what a eureka moment!"
"Wait, isn't there already a goatvomit?"
"We can add something snazzy to the end, like 666!"
That list, and the comments here, are the funniest things I've read in a while! I'm trying not to cry and my boss keeps glancing over my way with a confused look.
I bought that book for my friend for Christmas, and it is probably one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. I entertained myself for about an hour just flipping to random pages and reading the band names out loud. So ridiculous.
It's also really pretty -- black paper with silver print. My friend keeps it in the bathroom for potty-time reading.
"Uh, sorry dude, there's already a band called Goathammer."
"Hmm...well, what if we call ourselves Goathammer Abortion?"
"Sweet, dude!" (pound beer, make devil horns, headbang)
Thanks.
