Hoobastank. What the hell were they thinking? And Biffy Clyro as well. Any more, for any more?

Ok the story behind Godsmacks name is this: One member of the band had a big coldsore the lead singer kept making jokes about etc. Then the next day he came in an had the exact same thing in the same place. The guy who had one first said that God was smacking him for what he was saying. So Godsmack.

Puddle of mudd got their name after the floor of their audition room, or recording studio (I forget which) was flooded my a puddle of mud.

To peoplee names seem weird, but they have some sugnificants to the band. Their named after experiences they incounted on thrir way to the top.

That name comes from a poem. Duritz liked it and so did the rest of the band. It's also a lyric in their song Murder of One.

Hoobastank is a dismal name I agree, but they are good so it doesn't matter. It's just a bit annoying when someone asks you what you're listning to.

"Hoobastank"
"WHAT?!"

:-D

And what the hell is Counting Crows?!

I really hate Alien Ant Famr, it just sounds so contrived - like they sat round a table and spent ages thinking sbout a name that sounds interesting and funny, but is basically crap.

I agree, Hoobastank must be one of the worst band names ive ever heard. Limp Bizkit is a crap name, especially if u know what its named after. its just disgusting.

I think most of the good rock bands names have been taken, so new bands have to try and be more creative, and origanal. It doesn't always work though.

I bought the Biffy Clyro album.

I'd rather have a smack habit.
