i don't like the bandname "dirty pretty things" adam green wanted to name them "the croissants. i'd like that name.

i don't like the names radiohead and bright eyes too... even though the bands are great.

joy division is a beautiful name, travis is pretty cool too. and i like the name muse.

alphaville is a horrible name.

I think Radiohead is a good name. If you have a 'radiohead' it means you're too ugly to be on TV.

Yeah, I do interviews and write reviews for a Dutch/Belgian rock magazine called Up Magazine, on a voluntary base. I cover the melodic punk rock genre (mostly the Fat Wreck Chords type of stuff). It's a lot of work for no money, but I get to interview all my favorite bands, get lots of free CDs and concert tickets, and of course it's pretty cool to have your opinions read by thousands of people.

That's Ed King on the far left.  He later joined Lynyrd Skynyrd and co-wrote Sweet Home Alabama (that's him on the intro) and others.  I'd say Skynyrd is a good band name.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was named after a school teacher named Leonard Skinner.

Best name I've seen recently is Danish band: '...and you will know us by the trail of dead'.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
