    Default Band name comments

    I have just started up a new band and i just wanted your thought on the name we have picked. It is Majotaur. When asked to explain it we say minotaur but better. The music we play is clasic rock led zep, deep purple type stuff.

    Constructive critisism please

    A clever play on words none the less, I like the theme vs. the style. Personally if you like the name go with it. No matter how odd it may sound to others that never lasts long( like the first time a friend comes to school with a mohawk and jaws are dropped, by the end of the day its normal Just yours. F/T

    It seems to be kind of taboo to ask a band about the origins of their name where I come from - I don't know about everywhere else, but you watch or listen to an interview with a big touring band, and as soon as the interviewer asks about the name, you can just hear (in your head) the whole world sigh and lose respect for the interviewer for not being able to come up with a more interesting question. And the band usually gets a bit snotty about it too.

    My point... one day when your band is massive and touring the world, you may not get a chance to explain the name to anyone.

    I like it, and it is by no means a bad name. If you guys picked it, and like it, who cares what anyone else thinks. After all, it's about the music, not the name.

    I don't mean to threadjack or anything, but how do you come up with a band name? Me and the guys I jam with are pretty much starting a band and we just can't come up with a name to fit us.

    I think it's pretty rad. Roll with it.

    Just have fun with it and dont take it to seriously. A couple of my buddies and I are going to go out and do some shows as a ZZ Top tribute (yes fake beards, fuzzy guitars and all!) We are going to call ourselves Tres Nachos

    These were some really cool comments, I havent been on this forum in like a year. Its nuts. This band never even materialized so the name, good or bad, was never used. I am now in a regularly gigging band called Lionhearts. But cheers for your comments anyway drumfaces

    So Majotaur never did a major tour?(sorry,I know thats lame) I like Lionhearts better.Anyone in it named Richard? You could do a good Medieval theme with that name! I knew a band called Legend and they always had a long sword resting across the drums.Having a theme adds to the stage presence.Good luck with your band.

    Tres Nachos? Hey, I think that's pretty good....I like names that pay tribute to a famous band and yet have a twist to them.

    ABBA-Bjorn Again
    Pink Floyd-Beyond The Dark Side
    Beatles-The Fab Faux
    Oasis-No Way Sis
    MeatLoaf-Peat Loaf
    Frank Zappa-Petulant Frenzy

    ...are a few I've heard or seen the names around.

    haha, i'll let you off the pun. And sadly no richard in Lionhearts. We just went for a typically British but still aggresive sounding name. The front men of the band have a strong sense of patriotism that i think you Americans can understand
