Hello everyone!
Ok, so, me and Primushead have started a sweet ass rock group, and we need a nifty name.
I had suggested "The Remote Control Socks" and was explaining to Primushead where I got it. I heard Gonzo say "how about remote control socks!" on Muppet Babies once when I was a kid, and I have remembered it forever because I thought it was so funny. After that, Primushead suggested we name the band "Gonzo" and I said, well, how about "Gonzo's Remote Control Socks" I was pretty set on that name, but, after some consideration I concluded that the name may be too much of a mouthful and too childish.
Then I remembered what a wonderful community we have here, and thought I would come here for help. What do you guys think of the suggested names, and, does anyone have any good suggestions or ideas of their own for a band name? Thanks in advance, hope to see some responses soon! ;D
some off the cuff ideas:
Glad Gonzo's Girls
Senator Sneaker
The Wild 'n Mild
Albatross Robot
Guns 'n Butter
Alexis Axis
Nice Ice Thrice
Camden Bard
Swivel Knievel
Woah, I really like just plain "Glad Gonzos"
The "Girls" at the end would be nice if we were girls, but we wear condoms in our condominiums. Male condoms.
Anyone else got two cents for us? Hmm that give me an idea.. what about "My Two Sense"
that's a riff on the classic Guided by Voices song "Glad Girls"
hey hey Glad Girls...
only wanna get you high
hey hey glad girls
only wanna get you high
and they're alright
and they're alright
and they're alright...
What do you think of the initial band name ideas I had in the first post?
I like Gonzo's Remote Control Socks.
Although, I had an acoustic project with some friends in high school and we were called :
Remote Control Analgesic Synthetic Goat Cheese
We were Goat Cheese for short.
I like short and sweet.
The Gonzos
The RC Socks
Gonzo's Sock
The only problem with sock is that it looks a lot like suck.
The good thing about Gonzo and socks is that it makes me think of the red hot chili peppers, and Gonzo's phallic nose. Actually, what about:
Gonzo's Nose
I like how those last 2 syllables sound together.
The Socket Clause
The Gonzo Sock Drawer
Sox on Sox
Gonzo's Sock Parade
All of these suggestions suck. Bad. >:(
Except 'Sox on Sox'. Good one John.
;)
Hm...Mark, what about, "Lox on Sox". Would that work? That way, we wouldn't have to pay royalties to Conaway. :)
By the way, I was just kidding about all of the suggestions sucking. Totally just being affable. It's really hard to be sarcastic online (which I think we've discussed before) :-/
I knew it wouldn't be long before I got called out on my love for the Sox. Damn it.

Why do you think your stock has...wait a minute. Stocks falling...fallin'...
Falling Stocks!! That's a good band name. Mark? Whatcha think?
P.S. Preparation Metal is a good one too. ;)
Quoteand here I thought my stock had fallen recently.... ::)
um, unpossible.
fallen stocking
how about just gonzo?
band names are hard. i have found that you think and think and think, and then you decide you don't want to think anymore, and then one hits you in the face when you're least expecting it.
That is what happened with "Gonzo" and "My Two Sense"
"Falling Stock" is pretty sweet, too. Hmmmm.... I still like "Gonzo's Remote Control Socks"
or maybe even "Gonzo's Remote Control Falling Stock"
or.. "Socks on Gonzo"

Wow, John. How'd you make that cock look so good?
It's...GLOWING. :o
I did some Wikepedia'ing on Gonzo and it has a really cool set of definitions behind it. In the process of thinking about words, "Gouranga" popped into my head. I remembered it from the original Grand Theft Auto. So I looked up Gouranga and the wrap wikepedia gave it seemed very fitting to the style Gregg and I portray... which is to be happy. Anyway, after some brainstorming I came up with a combination of the two words, which sounds really cool and embodies a lot of good characteristics which are descriptive of myself and Gregg and the music we dig. So, a new band name proposal which in my opinion is the best since "Gonzo's Remote Control Socks" is....
"Gonzouranga"
