DECODE THE BAND NAME Game - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

12-11-2004, 12:05 AM

Ok, I couldn't find anything like this, but I thought it would be goofy and fitting in nonsense.

Take a popular or well-known name of a band/music group and give it a twist or find similar words in place of the words in their name.

EXAMPLE:

'Timid Rodent' is a twist to the band name Modest Mouse
This should be all sorts of fun, because we can sure think of band names in a different way after contemplating this.

Ok, first one:

Hitting Squash

Bacchanal · 12-11-2004, 12:27 AM

Smashing Pumpkins?

Damn, thinking of a band name is tougher than I thought it would be.

Dedicated Adversary

CityOfAngels · 12-11-2004, 03:24 AM

I know this is wrong, but all I could come up with is Arch Enemy or Public Enemy.

Grim Sect

Bacchanal · 12-11-2004, 04:07 AM

Half right.

Bad Religion?

ElwoodBlues · 12-11-2004, 11:09 AM

are there any left unanswered? I got one that someone out there has to recognize

Nightmare Cinema

Nightmare Cinema

Man I really suck at this. All I could come up with is Incubus and Rocky Horror Picture Show, but that's not a band; it's a musical.

So the two that haven't been completely answered are:
Dedicated Adversary and Nightmare Cinema.

Bacchanal · 12-11-2004, 02:08 PM

Nightmare Cinema

Dream Theater?

OK, mine was up long enough. It was Sworn Enemy.

Someone else?

CityOfAngels · 12-11-2004, 10:25 PM

The Apertures.

as for NotQuiteFruit, no idea

heres a couple:
Sightless Defender

I'm not sure if NotQuiteFruit works for the band I'm thinking of.. Here's a different take that might help: LessThanLemon

ElwoodBlues · 12-13-2004, 08:00 PM

All I could get out of that list was Sightless Defender=Blind Guardian. The rest have me stumped

K-Wise · 12-13-2004, 08:05 PM

Ha heres an easy one

"Both of you"

a little bit harder one
"Tempertmental Downheartedness"
