Band Name Game
Hi,
An old posting I came across on another site, which they in turn had found elsewhere :
"A fun way to waste 30 seconds...(shamelessly nicked from elsewhere)
1 - Go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to Random quotations:
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on "explore the last seven days"
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Put it all together, that's your first album. "
It actually seems to work - On the Brits are coming forum I am hoping for something similar to generate good CBG nicknanes for us Brits (no luck so far).
Regards,
David

I got "Ragnarök" as a band name. But there is already a norwegian death metal band of this name. To prevent any confusion I repeated the first step and got as a band name "List of highways numbered 17B"... not quite sure about the coolness factor of this one.
Band: List of highways numbered 17B
Album: There Is Doubt, Faith
