Neither name is very interesting. You should think of something cooler... why limit yourself?

like, for instance, why not something that describes what music you play, like ummmmm sinnce youre a "cover" band, why not something like "the exterior ------" or "the external..." or "the outside-----" something or others... just an idea how bout "the cover lovers" that would be cool... or... since yer into older bands, why not something with the word "geezer" in it? geezer is a cool word, it kinda sounds like weezer! how bout "the teasing Geezers"? that's cool...

Hey man I would recommend "True Butte". There are definitely more than one Vast Minorty's out there. That's classic hardcore. St anthony is the better of the two in my book.

And Geezer is also the name of Sabbaths bassist which makes it even more radical. Or just name your band "Electric Funeral" and be a Sabbath cover band. Then I'll come out and thrash.

What I was implying is we play stuff people our age don't listen to anymore (15,16,17 etc) I see too many fools running around listening to crap like Panic! At the Disco etc. Psh, if John Bonham was still around he'd take a dump in those guys shoes or something,

That's what you should call it! "Dump in those guys shoes or something." If you think its too long what about "And you will know us by the trail of dead..."?

Actually here's something that might help. It's a pretty keen link:

That is a pretty funny link. A name says a lot; taking your time to find just the right moniker to capture your band's vibe is essential. Random words are fun too; Single-word names, animals, numbers, colors, and extremely long ones have been done to death. I wonder, what else is left?
