What band name do you think doesn't suit the band at all?

Question

I would say Incubus. According to Wikipedia, "Incubus" is "a demon in male form that has sexual intercourse with sleeping women".

Then they have songs like "Love Hurts" and "Mexico".

Answer 1

Beastie boys... Never quite got that one...  

Answer 2

Good Charlotte.

There's nothing good about Good Charlotte.

Answer 3

The Jonas Brothers. Just like their songs, their band name is unoriginal, even if it is their last name. Its still been done too much.

Answer 4

stone temple pilots, because what is a stone temple pilot?

Answer 5

the jonas sisters!

Answer 6

iLiKETRAiNS. Based on the name I thought it was some weird techno band. They are in reality an awesome post-rock band. I find thier name quite amusing now.

Answer 7

Girl above took it, Queens Of Stone Age. Oh and the Jonas Brothers. They're dating each other it should be Jonas f**s. lol I never knew that about Incubus, hehe

Answer 8

maybe not when they first came out- electric prunes

Answer 9

OLDER BAND:

The Grateful Dead - I always thought it was heavy metal as a small child

NEWER BAND:

Dance Gavin Dance - I first thought it was an electro-pop group.

Sometimes, its totally rad that the name doesn't fit the sound, especially when you think its going to be hardcore

Answer 10

I think Incubus fits them pretty well actually...but I see what you mean...

TOOL...one of the best and most talented bands in the world, and that word usually has negative connotations

Answer 11

Eh...Sisters of Mercy. :-)

Answer 12

foo fighters



nuclear assault- sure they're thrash but when u think nuclear assault you think something more along the lines of death metal

Answer 13

Nirvana

definition -a place or state characterized by freedom from or oblivion to pain, worry, and the external world....I don't think that fit them too well, especially Kurt.

Answer 14

barenaked ladies

Answer 15

30 Seconds to Mars...

It should be "5 Seconds To Mars", because it only takes 5 seconds for them to reach Mars if they're kicked in the as* by Cannibal Corpse

Answer 16

Queens of the Stone Age- they're all guys...you might think they're drag queens, trannys, whatever haha

Answer 17

I think Incubus fits the band fine, heh :).

To be honest, I really can't think of any band that doesn't fit their name..

Possibly Sky Eats Airplane? I thought they'd be more alternative, and they turned out to be more metal. But they're still a great band :)!

Answer 18

canned heat

Answer 19

Heavy Metal Kids...they weren't heavy metal at all. More of a mid 70's Mott the Hoople glam rock type band.

Heavy Metal Kids - She's No Angel:

Answer 20

hands down, Grim Reaper

Answer 21

For me it's got to be Vampire Weekend. I actually wasn't the least bit interested in them because it's just a stupid name that evokes a sort of My Chemical Romance feel to me. Luckily, a buddy of mine explained to me (I can't remember how it even came up) that they were actually pretty cool. Then my mom picked up the cd and I borrowed it. They're more like the intersection of the Shins and Graceland era Paul Simon. One of the worst band names for accomplishing what a band name should do, give you some window into the vibe of the group.

Answer 22

The Devil Wears Prada for some reason...i dunno why, i guess i just think of the movie so i imagine like, a bunch of women in pencil skirts!

And The Jonas Brothers. That makes me think of a crappy little 15-minutes-of-fame band who's riding on their looks as apposed to their non-existent talent...Wait...

And Franz Ferdinand...makes me think of a super heavy metal band...Franz are far from it!

Lol, good Q!

xo

p.

P.S. I definately agree with Vampire Weekend, too, i was expecting them to be kinda MCR-ish.

Answer 23

Grand Funk (Railroad) is not usually very funky...
