Saltwater Vampires, a friend of mine told me this band name and I was like 'what?'

Bob Biter 09-08-2003 04:30 PM

"Babu The Dilated Junkie"

It's pseudo-hip-hop-rap and it sounds just about as good as its called.

Good times.

K-Wise 09-08-2003 04:41 PM

Babu of Dilated Peoples? If so it's fantastic no matter what. I don't even gotta hear it it just is. No one fuckin wit Dilated.

Godspeed You Black Emperor!

"Foo Fighters" got their name from the British planes charged with dropping bombs strategically to extinguish or prevent the spread of fires during WWII. They were also used in France, where they were called Foo Fighters after the word "feu" (French for "fire"), which got its pronounciation corrupted when used by the Brits. Basically, it means "Fire Fighters".

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a direct translation of the title of a 1950's Japanese biker movie. The movie itself was never popular, but it obviously deeply affected the founders of the band.

if i remember correctly, treble charger (i THINK it was them) used to be called 'rainbow butt monkeys'. at any rate, there WAS a band called that and they changed their name before they got famous. i wouldn't have, i love rainbow butt monkeys :D

Ballzor 06-06-2005 10:40 AM

um, actually foo fighters was also a name for UFO's that WW2 pilots encountered. The little balls of light that would fly up to the planes, those were Foo Fighters. Thank you History Channel

I knew this one band, they got together for a special May Day Festival and they called themselves
"Condom"
because they were a one time band only! Thing is, they were going to play again the following week but with a different name
"Used Condom"

Anyway, it made me laugh :D.

Grasshopper Green 06-17-2005 07:09 PM

I have a few songs by a Canadian band named Swollen Members. Good stuff.

What about Creedence Clearwater Revival? What does that mean anyway?
