My band's name

[Captain_Dude]

I've got me a band(several actually, but I will only be referring to the one in question), and I'm having a little dispute with a friend and fellow member over the name. The band has been dubbed Gimp Bizquik since I really hate Limp Bizkit. But since I don't want people to just think that I just ripped the name off of Limp Bizkit, or that we're some lousy cover band or something(we're just a lousy band, dammit).
So I had the brilliant idea of making "Gimp Bizquik" be an acronym for something, so I decided on "God Is Mutillating People Because Irregular Zydeco Quilts Unusual Imitation Khaki". I think it's a bloody good idea, but me mate thinks it could be better.
What do you think?

You should really go for something more original. My old bands name was Smacked Into Reality.


I'm not in a band anymore, but I still do use my guitar when I make beats for my rapping. Heh Heh.

I've thought of some great band names, but I like them so much I'll share only one:

Fighting Facts

Go ahead, bask in it's awesomeness.

[Stricker]

I know how to play guitar a little but never been in a band. BUT GIMB BISQUIT! I HATE LIMP BIZKIT.
You should try an original name. How is the band? Dark, punk, progresive, hard rock. Maybe PSOW members come up with a new name. We can help you say is the band. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[Omni-SqwirL]

I'm gonna jump ahead a bit. Let's say, you DO get a big break. If the record company of Limp Bizkit sees the band name, there could be a legal dispute going on.

Oh well, I'm just saying you can do better...call your band something from PSO....my band's name is Viridia. Heh heh

[BlackRose]

The band's name should mean something to you and the music you write, like the title of a poem. Just remember, it pays to stick with a name, so don't pick a name that'll seem lame in a few months... or even a few years.

That's true. Choose a good name that you can be proud of it. For ever.

I'll try not to think about that for more than a minute to avoid getting an aneurysm in my brain.

I question your sanity, and your mate probably does, too.

Just start thinking of what kind of music your band will be making and try to pick something fitting, not just some inane crap spawned from something you dislike.

*imagines listening to "the al rappys" in a few years time*

Ok well obviously you wouldn't pick something that stupid for a name but osmething out of PSO would be pretty cool.

But really just make something original up that suits you and the other guys in the band, that you all like that is.

[Stricker]

Hey captain. Have you desided the name yet? Or maybe think in other name already?

[Captain_Dude]

Bah, I've got plenty of great band names. But I just I just wanted ideas for the acronym...

After all, I'm also behind: Galactic Chicken, Cleetus da' Rappin Redneck, Field of 1000 Dying Cellphones, Fuck Circus, Keg-Cannon of Beer, The King of Dad, Super Atari 2600, The Lactating Udders, Left Handed Wank, and many, many more.

I didn't wan't a creative band name. I just wanted something ripped off from someone else... I just want it to have an acronym, I wanted to know if the acronym was good.

Cleetus da' Rappin Redneck That's infinitely funny to me. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif *wipes tear from eye* Ohh yeah.

Anyway, in all honesty, I'd pick something deep and meaningful, myself. My musician/DJ name is Samurai Soul, which has a bit of history and meaning behind it, for instance.
Course, that might not be too easy if you're going with an acronym, though. o-O

Deep and meaningful?!?! A band with songs like Post-it-Note, The Incredible Melting Cheese Solo, Fishtank, and the famous Booty #1 I seriously doubt would have a deep and meaningful name. Hell, I let my other what (was it 32?) bands make up for Gimp Bizquik's blatant rip off of a name. I just though if I claimed "No, I didn't ripp their name off, it's really an acronym for something that happened to my uncle, who was mutilated by god for inventing a form of zydeco that caused people to make quilts from imitation khaki. Really our name's a tribute to him!" that people might find it comical!

EDIT: I'd also like to point out several other songs of ours which prove that we don't merit a deep and meaningful name:
The Most Offensive Song in the World, The Hobo Rap, The Ballad of Kuntar the Mighty, Death Metal Ballad #1(The 'I spend entirely too much time at Dysdaera.net' song), I Can't Marry my First Lover(The 'One cannot marry his right hand' song), and the ever popular Mystery Science Theatre 3000 theme cover!

Now that you put it like that, it is an excellent name.

Also, I'm sorry about your uncle.

[Captain_Dude]

For all those nay sayers who think I'm not being creative with the whole "Gimp Bizquik" idea I've compiled an alphabetical list of all 49 (yep, FORTY-NINE!) bands that I in someway contribute to, or have started. Just try and claim that I'm not being creative with some of these names.

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, Anarchrist, Attack of the 40 ft. Tape Despenser, Captain Dude's Infinate Kazoo Orchestra, Cleetus da' Rappin Redneck, Crypt o' Knights, Doof Mingur, Duck Meat, Field of 1000 Dying Animals, Field of 1000 Dying Cellphones, Finger Lickin's Chicken Wing Band, Fornication Nation, Fuck Cricus, Galactic Chicken, George and the W's(Formerly Slick Willy and the Clintons), Gimp Bizquik(God is Mutillating People Because Irregular Zydeco Quilts Unusual Imitation Khaki), Keg-Cannon of Beer, Left Handed Wank, Little Jewish Fuck, Master Ninja Bation, Mt. Radial Bass, My Tangled Slinkey, Ol' Dead Harris, Porno Jamaican, Rabbi Hymen Marley and his Cantorial Reggae Band, SHNERP!, Silk Shirt and the Pants, Super Atari 2600, Synthetic Jesus 500,000, The Dickless Sickness, The Funky Thieves, The Iceberg Records Family, The King of Dad, The Lactating Udders, The Mangles, The Pusillanimous Pansies, The Restraints, The Salad Cowboys, The Saturn Groove Project, The Thems, The Jarkers Ride Again, ThrotVox, Thunder-Rump, Transcending All Other Brie, United Funk Movement, Urban Turban, Wad o' Cash, Wheelchair Grandpa, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Funktory.

There all great bands, all great names, all original(with the exception of Field of 1000 Dying Cellphones, who were formed by the members of Field of 1000 Dying Animals when the synthesizer that did animal sounds broke and the new one didn't have animal sounds, but that was soon fixed and now both bands are going).

Glad you now see it my way. And yes, my uncle was a couragous man, who gave his life for the mind controling devil zydeco which forced people to make quilts.

There is only one man I know who could answer this question.

Come to think of it, I guess most bands usually DON'T have a deep name. Just goes to show ya, never take advice from a raver or DJ if you're uhh, trying to get advice for a band name... or something. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_hamster.gif

Somehow I get the feeling that not many ravers will want to even associate with any of the music/bands that I've assembled...
Hehe, that little Electronica is my Jizz-Rag song sorta got me hated in several places on WinMX... ... ... ... I knew I shouldn't have done that... but I had just the perfect lyrics...

[Ness]

You can do better than that.

[Skuld_0]

some of the names in that really long list scar me...just name your band Metallica

[BlackRose]

There was a band who did that in Canada, and they were sued only HOURS after they released an album.

I plan to beat that by far as soon as I get that Rippoff Artists At Large CD out... heh, just myself and the other band member freestyling to instrumentals that we either didn't make, or unauthorized covers... Hehehehe fun fun


And I still don'y see why people do like the acronym? I mean, it's a complete coinsidence that our name was derivitave from Limp Bizkit's rellly we're a tribute band to my uncle!

[pixelate]

Go for a death metal-type name, like Monolith or Red Hot Poker In The Eye or Boot Stomp or Bullet Ride or Blast Furnace.

[IceBlink]

Pick the first colour in your head, followed by the first vegetable in your head!

BLUE TULIP!

er...

RED BANANA!

Hang on, banana is a fruit...

I know Monolith is already a band... The others, I'm not so sure about...
Plus, I don't think a band with a Death Metal sounding name would do well with songs such as my infamous 'I can't play the Accordeon, but I can sure as hell try' polka or Fat, fat, it's good for the heart, the more ya eat the more it's likely to stop and not restart...

So I think a cheesey name would work best for me!

Bizarrely enough my friend used a similar methodology to get a name for a song which he dubbed Orange Sandbox...

So I guess BLUE TULIP is a no-go? Pity... ;_;

Ahem. Could always call yourself Captain Dude and the Pussycats... just for a joke. XD

Little Dudes? And name your first debut song, "Oranges In The Snow"! XD

Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. ^_^;

[Skuld_0]

blue tulip is the one you need

[HotWaterDeath]

As long as you're not emo bull crap or another Fat Wreckchords wannabe group. Interesting name, if not somewhat non-sensical. What are you're influences?

[Stricker]

So many time, and you haven't decided the name yet?

I don't fully understand what you said... But that could be the dyslexia, ADD, and lack of sleep's fault...
Our influences... Uh... I don't know... All I know is I doubt you'll ever hear anything like us ever again... And if we sound like something else... that's probably because we ripped it off...

I have decided on the name it's Gimp Bizquik as it has always been... And if we get sued by Limp Bizkit, I'll just give them the story of my uncle and they'll they'll have no case!

[Captain_Dude]

Well, weather people like it or not. I'm sticking with my name... I'll add a link to my mp3.com website in my sig soon, so you can hear us in action.
Remember, anybody who gets in good with the captain gets free tickets to any show we perform... weather it be on the street corner where we're forced to playe due to the fact that nobody wants to book us, or at the great American music hall where we'll be beating Marc Growden with a shovel and doing really bad covers of Stan Ridgway songs(hey, it'll happen!)...
