Geoff Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Recently there have been several new bands such as W.E.T. / H.E.A.T. / N.O.W. / H.A.R.D. for example and I have to say they're really starting to annoy me. It's all fine and fun when they're new releases and all, but trying to search for these CDs at a later date using search functions just doesn't work consistently and it creates anger. Plus it's annoying to type. I don't even think any of them are acronyms either apart from WET, are they? They just seem to do it to annoy people.

Geoff Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 W.A.S.P. Yeah, that was the only old school one I could think of. I think some clowns did this - K.I.S.S. but they were freaks and everyone knows it's just KISS. W.A.S.P. is an acronym for something isn't it?

That's awesome. I always thought it was something to do with Satan. Something along the lines of We Are Satan's People perhaps? Who knows. I do like We Are Sexual Predators, though.

Seems like bands trying to be clever, but doesn't work imo. Yes, W.E.T. might be an acronym of the founding bands' names, but it's a rubbish name. And as you say, really hard to find on eBay, Amazon, etc. Also a lot of hard rock and AOR bands who have one-word names that are quite common words and release self-titled albums. I'm waiting for new rock releases like The - The, And - And, On - On, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIM (2) Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Recently there have been several new bands such as W.E.T. / H.E.A.T. / N.O.W. / H.A.R.D. for example and I have to say they're really starting to annoy me. Most of these are Frontiers associated releases. I wonder if someone from Frontiers has just opened a page from Playboy magazine and picked a random word? Wouldn't be surprised if the next one is I.N.S.E.R.T followed by F.I.N.G.E.R then A.N.U.S then S.N.I.F.F etc. Gotta love those Italians.

BTW, LOL re I.N.S.E.R.T., etc. If there really was a band called I.N.S.E.R.T. they would deserve success just for the name! Fnarr fnarr.

Fat Freddy Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Back in the day W.A.S.P. supposedly stood for "We Are Sexual Perverts." Of course, the PMRC and the religious right who hated the band thought it stood for "We Are Satan's People"... after all these years, Blackie Lawless sez it stands for "We Ain't Sure, Pal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And trust me, typing in 'H.E.A.T. - H.E.A.T.' or 'W.E.T. - W.E.T.' does not make it easier. Yeah, James & Dead Planet, totally agree about self titled CDs from bands with generic names too. Not much you can do about it, but I've found searching for Inside Out's debut, for example, to be a total write off. And Blind s/t - that was a f*cking nightmare.

zacharyamelie Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Can't stand these guys -----> G.E.O.F.F. I'm gonna beat Geoff to the punch with a take on an acronym for his name. How about G.E.O.F.F. stands for God's Excrutiating Offering For Females OK that's bad, real bad and so are all those bands names with acronyms.

Desslar Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Bands with generic names are also very frustrating to search for: Europe, KISS, Cinderella, Firehouse, Rainbow, The Cult, All Ends, The Answer, Rage, Loudness, Thunder, etc. I wonder if bands today think long and hard about creating more search-friendly names.
