Dislike the name Pearl Jam?

loveboatcaptian

Does anyones else dislike the name Pearl Jam as the bands name? When I talk about them to others that aren't fans I feel like the name is almost silly. :oops:

I think it's an awesome band name. Not to offend any one but would you prefer Foo Fighters or Fat Boy Slim maybe

something is silly to people who don't understand the roots of things come from. a lot of things seem silly to me until i research them out and find why they did what they did. plus it is only a name.

No, not at all but when you think of all time awesome band names I think the name is not up their. The music definitely is though.

the music is all that matters, and that pearl jam name will be "right up there" with all the other all time awesome band names in the rock n roll hall of fame one day...guaranteed.

There are a lot of silly or weird band names, but I mean, Pearl Jam is something I have gotten used to and grown to love. Personally I think it kind of has like the sound of a metal band or something. But like I said, there are so many dumb/weird names out there for bands, I can totally live with Pearl Jam.

nuff said right. On second thought, maybe Mookie Blaylock would've been better.

Two best rock band names that I have ever known - Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam. hmmm where did those five words come from? interesting

loveboatcaptian

Not comparing it to other shitty band names just saying it doesn't hit you like Guns and Roses, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, even something like 311. And there are many others.

On the topic of bad band names. anyone else dislike the smashing pumpkins? That is a bad name. Pearl Jam = cool name.

loveboatcaptian

Again I must stress..nothing against the band and fucking love the music.

Maybe that's the silly part. It's almost like they thought they were never going to get this big and was like fuck it lets call ourselves cum.

At this point, does it really matter what we think? That ship has long since sailed.

Although I wouldn't mind if they re-named themselves after an overrated Nets guard again. Maybe they could call themselves "Vince Carter."

Does anything on this forum really matter? It's all about what you feel and polling the thought's of fellow fans. Maybe :?:

I have. That's why I made the joke about them re-naming themselves "Vince Carter." I was just pollin' the fans.

hmmm. Metallica? seriously, you think that's an example of a GREAT band name? and 311? what is that, an area code? and I love, love, love, smashing pumpkins - but that's a really cheesy band name.

PEARL JAM IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.
