What’s in a name?

What’s in a name?

 

Everyone always asks were did the name Guy Pulaski and the Roaming Nomads come from? Well it’s a long story that I will get into later. Now I want to bring up other band names. All in all, most names are very fitting to the music, style or even a weird message, for example;

 

Jethro Tull was a 18th century botanist that the band wanted to, in a weird way, portray their nature, mythical, minstrel like personality to their audience, not to mention to all the pot heads.

 

The Eagles is a good name for a California based country rock band (even though none of the members are from California) that sing about free and easy, life in the fast lane, and hotels.

 

Led Zeppelin is the perfect oxy-moron names that is contradictory yet states that an impossible thing can be overcome and made into the best.

 

Now there are some names that I personally don’t like but it may be because of the people in it.

 

U-2 is suppose to be a slam on being watched by ‘the man’ in their spy planes while the pretentious Bono owns half of fleet of planes now, and he wants us to donate a quarter a day to help some kid in El Salvador while he wipes his ass in $100 bills. Don’t get me wrong, I love the music, I just don’t want one simple band name to be a political statement.

 

System of the Down, come on now, that’s just a retarded name.

 

Matchbox 20…WTF!!!

 

Go to your local entertainment newspaper now and you’ll get a hundred names from the wacky, Monkey lips to the avant-garde The Eyebrows. You have to be the judge yourself and also go out and see these groups; don’t be afraid to tell them, “great music! stupid name!”

 

Now for Guy Pulaski and the Roaming Nomads; well it all start back in Weilepole….Word press has stopped this article at this point due to graphic violence, absurd activities, questionable verbiage and immoral animal stories. We will resume at a more decent section.

 

And that is how the band came up with its name. Cool huh?

 

Peas…Caz

    There is a rumor that Led Zeppelin got their name from the Who’s drummer, Keith Moone who said the band would go over like a lead zeppelin. I guess he was wrong.
