If you could start a band what would its name be?

I would have either

Valentas
The Napiers
Clagmonster

By the way they would play stuff similar to Deep Purple.

I wouldn't go for a train-themed name for a band that plays in the genre and style of Deep Purple I'd probably go for a colour as they did.

Something like 'Crimson Catastrophe'.

Be careful with band names when travelling by train.

The security nazis, who have an IQ roughly that of an amoeba and no decent qualifications whatsoever, may decide that a band name makes you a terrorist threat. People like that cannot be trusted to open a can of sardines that is already open, so should not be permitted to chuck people off trains.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-Killers--scribbled-list-favourite-bands.html

Musician kicked off train for writing the word 'Killers'... as he scribbled list of his favourite bands

A musician writing a playlist for his next gig was kicked off a train for writing the band name The Killers.

Tom Shaw was told by security officers that what he was writing was ‘suspicious’ and despite his protests he was asked to leave the train.

Once on the platform, Shaw showed the officers his list, which included the name of the best-selling American rock band as well as the Oasis song Cigarettes And Alcohol and Shut Up And Let Me Go by British band the Ting Tings..... (more)
The security numpties should be named and shamed.

But then this is SWT we're talking about, a company that is owned by someone who is no stranger to controversy and malpractice.

If I might bring the thread back on course, my band would concentrate on guitars, drums and keyboards - all electric. The music would be fast paced and often upbeat. They would go by the name of...

The Electrostars

I guess there could be the The Voyagers which play droning repetitive music that gives you a headache :P

All the way from Reading to Doncaster in First class I was sat on the Voyager engine, so I know all about droning repetitive noises!



Bet that was hot, Par-BHM isnt too fun either, even more so when you did it on a HST going there but could be worse, could be working on them but thankfully im not...for now
