craigb Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Heh... I still remember (from back in the 70's) when it came down to the 'ol "So, what should we call ourselves?" The bass player (naturally! ? ) came up with "Random Precision" 'cause he thought it sounded cool. I'm not sure what we settled on, but we didn't want a name that truly described our playing ability. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Vogel Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I've been in several music cartoons; I mean bands. They weren't very funny either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were transitioning from oldies to rock and new music because the oldies crowd got too old for bar hopping. I was the youngest in my mid 20s. All the other guys were in their late 40s. I came up with the name 'Midlife Crisis' but it wasn't well received. Ah the good old days. I'd toss her the keys to the house and cars and sign off on the bank account and walk to nj from mo with just my guitar on my back if it would turn back the clock.

Notes_Norton Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Naming a band goes through these phases: Everybody suggests their cleverest or most artistic name, but since everybody thinks their own name is the best, none of them get picked Everyone is hurt that their name didn't get picked, so to keep from getting hurt again, they submit a silly or stupid name, and it doesn't get picked, but since it wasn't soul revealing, it doesn't hurt Somebody suggests something completely non-committal that neither says anything in particular nor offends anybody in particular, so they settle on that. Nobody is really happy with the name, but they are getting a reputation so they can't change it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as you're starting to get less embarrassed actually saying the name that nobody really wanted ( remember kids...democracy means everyone gets what most people didn't want) somebody suggests changing it again. 6.
