The Best (AND WORST) Band Names of All time

A band's name is your first impression, and sometimes it's all you need to hear to know you'll be a fan... Sometimes it's the opposite, and you know it'll never be for you. Either way, a band name is the source of their identity and eventually loses all textbook meaning, remaining only as a powerful symbol of the music it represents. These are our favorites, and least favorites. - Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepod - Join the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links: HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com Get 10% off your order from GUILTY PARTY, the best menswear store in North America with code HARDLORE! https:guiltyparty.co Get 15% off MADD VINTAGE with code HARDLORE15! https://maddvintage.com/ Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code HARDLORE at MANSCAPED.com! #ad #manscapedpod FOLLOW HARDLORE: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/ TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepod SPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrp APPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe 00:00:00 - Start 00:02:35 - Smash Mouth 00:03:57 - The Misfits 00:05:41 - Metallica 00:08:02 - Death Cab For Cutie 00:09:02 - 100 Demons 00:11:25 - Anthrax 00:12:44 - Nine Inch Nails 00:14:06 - The Beatles 00:15:45 - Alice in Chains 00:16:55 - Slayer 00:17:52 - Pearl Jam 00:19:19 - The Killers 00:19:41 - The Killer 00:20:53 - Underdog 00:22:25 - Gorilla Biscuits 00:23:15 - Xibalba 00:24:41 - The Cure 00:26:11 - Dance Gavin Dance 00:26:52 - Wartime Manner 00:27:57 - Death 00:29:18 - Fall Out Boy 00:30:37 - Pupil Slicer 00:31:15 - Mil-Spec 00:32:39 - Crowbar 00:33:34 - Bolt Thrower 00:34:54 - Pink Floyd 00:36:05 - My Dying Bride 00:37:00 - Deicide 00:38:06 - Nails 00:39:22 - Korn 00:40:37 - Bands Who Use the Letter Z in place of S 00:41:42 - Pardon This Interuption 00:45:38 - Type O Negative 00:48:27 - Crown of Thornz 00:49:41 - Pantera 00:51:00 - Bands Using AD 00:52:07 - Angel Du$t 00:52:31 - Triptykon 00:53:47 - Donnybrook! 00:56:17 - Foo Fighters 00:56:58 - Limp Bizkit 00:59:21 - Suicidal Tendencies 01:00:40 - Primus 01:01:18 - Goo Goo Dolls 01:02:57 - Shai Hulud 01:03:57 - Oasis 01:04:46 - The Beach Boys 01:06:39 - Stormtroopers of Death 01:07:23 - Assuck 01:08:43 - Jimmy Eat World 01:09:22 - Slipknot 01:10:11 - Sick Of It All 01:11:25 - Righteous Jams 01:14:09 - Marker 106 01:15:06 - Live 01:16:08 - Earth Crisis 01:18:00 - Marker 112 01:18:10 - Geographical Names 01:18:28 - Deadmau5 01:18:42 - Dying Fetus 01:19:09 - Butthole Surfers 01:19:28 - Neurosis 01:20:08 - Jawbreaker 01:21:02 - Weekend Nachos HardLore: A Knotfest Series, Fueled by Monster Energy Edited by Steven Grise • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes.
