Name That Band! - TVgasm

by B-Side

band091506

Now that Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke, and Jason Newsted have selected Lukas Rossi as their hobbit-like lead singer, they now face another dilemma: what to call their band. A court order on the day of the Rock Star: Supernova finale required the guys to drop their name, Supernova. Now, with months of marketing flushed down the tubes, the guys and their little helper monkey, Lukas, need a new name. Maybe we can help out.

I'd like to suggest: Monkey Boy and the Geritol Gents, SuperOva, or The Band That No One Will Ever See.

What are your picks?

How about 3 Has Beens and a Never Will Be?

Or Frodo and the Orcs?

How about Fosco Proudneck of Longbottom and the Old Farts? (That's Lukas Rossi's hobbit name according to this website: http://www.chriswetherell.com/hobbit/)

Gah, what dumbasses. Nice goin', T-Bone. Supernot. Motley Crew.

How about Three Old Men Trying To Regain Our Youth By Hiring A Wanna Be Singer Who Sounds Like A Porn Star Swallowing D#*k? You know I've liked only 2 songs by Lukass of the Shire. His version of Creep and his accustic of Headspin. Both times he got the mike out of his throat long enough to actually hear what he was saying. If he'd quit swallowing d**k long enough to sing, I might enjoy him more. He does have a good voice, he just have to learn to use it more often. That and face us when he sings. I kind of like looking at the singer, not his back. That little stunt with his girlfriend didn't exactly warm him in my opinion. The fact that Dilana tried to help get her in, tell me the band definitely chose the wrong person, but what killed me is right there on the clip was Gilby and his wife, yet Lukass can't be seen with a girlfriend????!!! WTF! Whatever. I know what album I'll be avoiding like the plague regardless of what name they come up with.

Shoulda choose Dilana, then they could be Supervulva.

Dorkus Malorkus?
Screamo and the Sidmen?
I got it! How 'bout spelling Supernova backwards. (works for me!) I guess that would be Avonrepus.

Supercrapa
Super Market
Chevy Nova
Super Duper

So why weren't they able to use "Supernova" as a name?

Posted by: Ubiquitous [TypeKey Profile Page] | September 17, 2006 8:35 AM(#18 of 32)

They tried to just waltz in and take the name of another band, that's why.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3798299a1869,00.html

Now they're free to call themselves Elven Lords of Rivendell.

Posted by: Memememe [TypeKey Profile Page] | September 17, 2006 2:56 PM(#19 of 32)

I just don't think there will be ever be a name that can quite caputure how pathetic and sold out this "band" truly is.

JASON NEWSTED was in METALLICA FOR CRISSSAKES!!!!!

Now he's part of a band that is fronted by a Fall Out Boy guitarist wanna-be??

Posted by: anniedawg25 [TypeKey Profile Page] | September 17, 2006 8:10 PM(#20 of 32)

Soup or Salad
Smeagle nova
Super nevah
Super Yodas

I'd say "Everything But the Girl," but that's taken. How about one of the following?

Depends and a Friend
The Viagras
B-82s
Ledless Zeppelin
Pension Convention
The Who?
Cad Company
ZZZ Stop!
Three Dogs Light

Oh my! You'd think there'd be a legal/research department that would catch something like that BEFORE it hit the proverbial fan.

Ho about "Hobbit and the Has-Beens"?

OK I have a few to add to the pile:

5) TAFKAS - The Artists Formerly Known as Supernova

4) Where are they now?

3) Chapter 11

2) Skid Mark

or my personal fave:

1) Blame Canada!

"Anticlimactica" is pretty good copygodd...
There are some good efforts on here but I think yours simultaneously captures the essence of the show itself and ultimately how the band will most likely fare... nice one.

Posted by: dhford1 [TypeKey Profile Page] | September 18, 2006 11:26 AM(#28 of 32)

Turd
Speed Bump
GnR (Geritol and Ritalin)
Butt Monkeys
Kill Clay Aiken

Chevy Nova, Depends and a Friend, and Three Dogs Light have me on the floor. Way to go, folks!

Here's one for you, Gilby:

Hump Monkeys.

Whatever became of the band that was featured in the first season of this show, anyway?

Posted by: Ubiquitous [TypeKey Profile Page] | September 20, 2006 4:01 AM(#31 of 32)

Hump Monkeys, yeah. And Chevy Nova just about sums these guys up.

How about a band with (gasp!) male and female band members next time? Maybe then the female contestants would actually have a chance to win. Or is this show just for loser male musicians past their expiration dates?
