A Good Name for a Rock Band: Difference between revisions
→Real Life
Line 1,372:
* [[Van Halen]]; similar to the Bon Jovi example, though named after ''two'' members rather than one (the van Halen brothers, Eddie and Alex; ''much'' later, Eddie's son Wolfgang would also join the band).
* Subversion: [[Pink Floyd]] was named after two ''blues'' musicians, neither of which were ever in the band. Although that didn't stop journalists asking them early on, [[Did Not Do the Research|"So which one's Pink?"]].
* A more recent use of this is by the Canadian duo [[Tegan and Sara]].
* ''[[Fleetwood Mac]]'', named after their drummer (Mick Fleetwood) and bass player (John McVie). Sort of an aversion - Fleetwood and Peter Green decided to call the band this to ''persuade McVie to join'', not because he was already a member.
* Obfuscated by the band Good Old War. Good for Goodwin, Old for Arnold, and War for Schwartz.
