Names -> Stupid Band Names -> G

These are the band names that we feel are just plain stupid. Bands pick the most absurd names, who wants to be known as a member of the "Butthole Surfers"? We only accept entries for this page that make fun of a band name. Just saying a band is lame (no matter how lame they might be) isn't a good reason for entry.

Description
 
Submitted by:
The Game Might be appropriate if it was a band, since many bands use "The (something)" as their names, but it's only one guy! (Namely, a rapper. Shows how far rap artists will go to get attention.) Mr. Critic
Garbage Just hearing the band name, makes me want to clean.....they could have been a little more sanitary while choosing the band name, or maybe that is what the lead singer spent most of her life living in. Fendergurl
Gardening By Moonlight Presumably, the daftest ever euphemism for sex. Napoleon Bonappetit
General Public They're two guys. I'd say they hardly represent the general public. Jonathan S.
Genesis Some people thought this would be a Christian band at the time, but they're a Progressive-Rock band formed by Peter Gabriel. Paul Warren
Get Up Kids It sounds like a really bad syndicated children's TV show from the 1970's. Todd W. Zimmerman
Ghoti Hook Sounds more like a weapon John Gotti uses than a Christian band. Chrissie
Ghoti Hook What's stupid about it is that they want you to pronounce the first word like "fish." Clearly it looks like it should be pronounced "goaty" instead...I bet 99 out of 100 people would agree. Mr. Critic
Ginuwine The spelling might cause one to ask "A red or white wine?". Kerianne Hopkins
Girls Aloud could they not spell "allowed"? or was this to make people think they play loud music mark
Girls Kick Butt This name for a band sounds sexist to me! Paul Warren
Girly Man Really, would anyone want to be known as a girly man? The music is good, but the band name stinks. It's an Oxymoron. James
Gnarls Barkley the lesser known brother of Charles Barkley, perhaps? hamp
The Go-Go's It's too "Mary Poppins". Otis G.
GOB Gob is what farmers do on the sidewalk ! (nothing against farmers)  Lydia
Godsmack It's not a good idea to smack God, you morons. rocknroll
Goo Goo Dolls It sounds like an all- or mostly-girls band, but they're all guys. What GUY wants to be known as a GOO GOO DOLL?!?!? Jonathan S.
Goo Goo Dolls It just sounds so immature. Leigh-Ann
Goo-Goo Dolls Is this not a band of males? I am a guy and I certainly wouldn't want to be referred to as a member of the "Goo-Goo Dolls". What were they thinking, choosing a name like this? Travis
Goo-Goo Dolls Hell, THEY even admit it. pauhead
Goo-Goo Dolls Sounds like a baby thought up that name. hehateme
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci The most successful group without a top 40 hit. No-one, not even in the band, knows what the name means. Let's start with Gorky. It's probably a name; it is showing posession and there is no similar word in the dictionary. Zygotic could refer to Zygote (the last word in the dictionary), a firtilized egg cell. Mynci could be Mycellium, the threads making up the black bit of a mushroom. Although I have all this evidence a question needs to be asked. Why? Jakko Wakko
Grandaddy For some reason I half expect them to smell of pee... Chris
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five Is he a grandmaster because he doesn't get himself arrested? The five must be furious because they aren't quite as good as GF and always get caught. Johnny D
Gravity Kills Let me alert the authorites, guys. John Phillips Screwdriver
Green Apple Quick Step I swear I did not make that up! (Look on the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" soundtrack if you don't believe me.) If I have to give a specific reason for this being a dumb name, fine, here's three: It's totally random; it doesn't make the least bit of sense; and it sounds like some out-of-date dance move. Jonathan S.
Green Day What does a green day look like? Blueriver
Green Day perhaps they meant to call themselves Gray Day (but didn't want to be sued by Madness) Mark
The Guess Who  I don't know, who? It is hard to talk about a song they sung, it doesn't sound right when you say: The Guess Who sung American Women Billy Florio
Guns N Roses Come on, did any one ever hear Axle Rose's voice, can it get any higher? How can a band like that pull of a name like Guns and Roses? They should be just Roses! Floyde the stondent

Submissions Are Accepted Again

Much like the stupid song lyrics page, I get a lot of submissions for this page. More than I can really handle. The problem is that I get a lot of "Blink 182 is stupid 'cuz I said so" submissions, which I have to waste time deleting (though not much). I also get a lot of submissions that just aren't funny. I guess the real problem is that the word stupid can mean so many things, and hence every band name could be considered stupid.

So in short, don't bother sending me stupid email about this stupid page, or you're stupid.

If you have a creative/humorous idea, please submit it.
