Brilliant Names
 7.5  It's a suggestion for a holy day of witchcraft. After this year nothing was similar. It seems that the spell was very strong! 
6.2  If Hawaii is a paradise, and Humberto Gessinger and his friends did, it's obvious that their songs would be "fresh water and shade". 
6.8  If the death of Franz Ferdinand triggered the first World War, his 'back' will, for sure, shake the structures. 
6.4  The Hurricane "KISS", known for it's make-up's, and their huge, well elaborated and even exaggerated concerts, has shown that a "kiss" can be much more than romantic and slush. 
7.6  Bombing the world with a mixture of hip-hop, jazz and soul, "Massive Attack" showed why they came into the world. 
6.8  "Never sigh for better world, it`s already composed, played and told. Every thought the music I write, everything a wish for the night". 
7.6  Nirvana, besides the fact of being target of all plukers, represents the pure freedom. And flying high, they achieved what many guys can't, charisma and good music. 
8.3  As precursor of rock as we know it today, it 's obvious the reason the name fit perfectly with reality. If the band is the queen, for sure they're princes of rock. 
7.2  Hot and spicy. The right recipe to make a crowd fall in love. I need guys like these in here. 
7.7  I don't know much about them, but I really liked the name. And it seems that they came to confront their similar, and show their difference. 
7.8  Named as the lebanese city, sounds like an european band, but came from the States. Can it be more global and, yet, unique? 
6.3  A cup of funk, two spoons of ska, a pinch of rockabilly, pop as you like, filled with jazz and rap, and country to decorate. The basic recipe of the CAKE music. 
7.1  After Darlin' be criticized as a "bunch of Daft Punk," the new 'stupids' in the world of music decided to take a critical new way, electronic music. 
6.2  The name is so non-sense that every time you ask them, they give rise to a different explanation. 
6.9  I owe, I don't pay, and I refuse while I can. It's so much fun in portuguese. In fact, the name "Devo" comes "from their concept of 'de-evolution' - the idea that instead of evolving, mankind has actually regressed, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society." 
7.5  With his exaggerated way of criticizing everybody, I'm almost sure death to them was conspiracy of Robocop gay! 
6.7  In this band, none of the seven members have these names. Why they then? The name Belle & Sebastian is inspired by Belle et Sébastien, a children's book by French writer Cécile Aubry. 
6.6  And I thought that only in Brazil had this story to mourn the sorrows singing. But it is much worse. This name, despite the controversy, was created because the love born in Montreal broke the heart of Kevin Barnes. So tacky. But with the voice of the singer I believe only if a relationship with a lumberjack Of Montreal. 
7.3  Vedder swears it's a tribute to the grandmother and jelly for her husband. I suspect that is only because he was "very crazy" with the jelly. 
7.9  As Mystique (x-men), the band changed it's name and members. I don't need to say why they call "The Mutants" 
8.2  Keith Moon of the Who said that the sound of them was heavy as a lead Zeppelin! If it's true, I don't know, but I will spread the story. 
7.2  The name "Foo Fighters" taken from the World War II term "Foo Fighter", used to refer to unidentified flying objects. Feeeear!!! 
7.4  Based on other works and to make a tribute album to the "Project Tango", they achieved success. But no creativity. 
7.2  One day someone asked Paul McCartney if he was jealous of any music and he said that, if it could be, The Beatles would have written 'God Only Knows'. Mick Jagger was talking in the U.S., that the rival of the Stones weren't The Beatles, but The Beach Boys. Good Guys! 
6.3  The band name is a portmanteau of Jam session and "iroquai", based on the Iroquois, a Native American tribe. Native American tribe name is so bizarre 
7.5  I really like to know that "Bordello" refers to a brothel or a "gentleman's club". So different! 
7.3  I liked the sound of the name, but then I discovered that the name came from an Englishman who has established several agricultural machines in the 18th century, I gave up good names associated with unusual things! 
7.1  OMG, no one knows the relationship between these two guys. I bet they're friends with benefits, or worse. Exciting! 
7.8  I liked the name, but this crazy thing of honouring people, movies and everything sucks. 
7.3  The official announcement of the band's first show was: "The Western Club presents shamefully Paralamas do Sucesso. Rock." I don't know why, because to me they're the only 'Splashguard' of success." 
7.8  Despite the name, Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band. So they cheat everyone. Very shrewd this name! 
6.6  I don't have an explanation, description or joke for this band. But Miguel likes this name, and I trust him |

Mas talvez deva traduzir os nomes das bandas brasileiras, pra ingles na descrição .hummm
ZZ Top - taken from 2 bluesmen they admired. ZZ Hill and BB King. Instead of being ZZ King, they decided the King was at the top, so it became ZZ Top.
Village People dressed as gay stereotypes. The Village implied is Greenwich Village, where the Bohemiens and counter-culture types congregated, so these are the people of the (Greenwich) Village.
The Hollies took their name from one of their influentual idols, Buddy Holly.
I don't beleive in all these names having Satanic origins, although I know a few did. I think AC/DC was in reference to the power source and I doubt seriously that Kiss intended their name to be satanic. It seems like there is a satanic explanation for every rock band that ever existed.
How did the Yardbirds name come about?
America was formed by 3 American sons of military parents stationed in England.
What about Three Dog Night?
Was Steppenwolf named for the novel by Herman Hesse?
I have heard 3 different stories about how the name Alice Cooper came about. 2 of them from the lead singer, Alice, himself.
1- It came up on a ouija board
2- It was the name of a 17th century witch
3- It sounded innocent, so it was for the shock factor of seeing a deranged clown with a boa constricter when you were expecting a young blonde folksinger.
The Beatles were either in tribute to Buddy Holly's The Crickets, or they wanted to show they were a beat band as in BEATles.
The Rolling Stones took their name from a favorite Bluesman's song. Muddy Waters' "Rolling Stone Blues".
