Me and my drummer have gone through many guitarists to try to find a good one as well as names. We have had many unsuccessful names and some that are ok, but I want to ask ya'll which is the best to you. Here are the choices: One-Legged Dog Catcher, Stumpmonkey, Rolling Nowhere, and Headrush. Which do you like the best? I'm also open for suggestions. Thanks

though i don't like their music, i think Styx has the best name
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

I'm asking you which of my names you like the most, not other bands' names.

By famous bands, I think Metallica is awsome ´cause first of all, it describes the style very well and it sounds very cool.

Actually, Lars stoled the name from a guy who asked him if he liked the name Metallica for his fanzine our somthing. Lars said it sucked tricked the guy, keept the name for him self and got a copyright on it and that´s it. James camed up with the logo do.

Short and easy to remember and understand names are very good but boring. My band is called Violation Domain. It sound like black metal but we´re into progg metal and heavy metal. We were thinkin about a change but nah, not yet since lot´s of local duds knows the name and as long as we remain local we won´t change it.

One cool name for band that I have in mind is Leathal Injection. I never heard a band called so and as long it´s trach/heavy metal, it works definitly. It sound dirty, nasty, fast and most of all deadly.

Remember to play Metallicas Ride The Lightning.

I was actally more thinking about death penalties in US. Electric chair is pretty out now so insted they inject those deadly stuff in your vains. But like I said, it dosen´t matter how the name sound when you´re into metal. Think about Slayer, Megadeth, Antrax, Overkill... Leathal Injection siuts pretty fine.
