I'd love it if they did but I'm not sure they'll be able to deliver next time round I think I've heard them say it in interviews that it does stand for something but I'm not sure what. I used to think it had something to do with the founding members real names but I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 It's pretty pointless/pathetic if it stands for something they can't mention. To me, that pretty much means it means nothing whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Gold Donors Darkstone Posted October 24, 2018 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm so glad I asked. It was purely out of curiosity. The fact they keep it a secret or what it stands for doesn't diminish my enjoyment of their music in the slightest. Good on em'! Having said that, my curiosity is at peak levels. Maybe someone should start a "guess what H.E.A.T. stands for" topic. Also, if Andrew knows, then maybe Dan has some inside information. He's been suspiciously quiet.

If they told you after a night of drinking, odds are they forgot what it stood for later on that night. Probably stood for something else the morning after, and something else today.

simo Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I like how Blackie Lawless once answered the question what W.A.S.P. stood for with ''we ain't sure, pal'' Maybe H.E.a.T. had visionary power when they named themselves and already predicted ''How Every Album That'' followed would be weaker than the one before it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Except every album isn't weaker than the one before. Address the nation is a million times better than the first two albums, and Into the great unknown is better than Breaking down the walls.

Not sure I agree about ITGU being better than TDTW.....But do agree that the Gronwall led H.e.a.t albums are all WAY stronger than the earlier two albums. We've been through this before though and there's some that liked H.e.a.t with Kenny that don't like them as much with Erik, some that like them better now and some that liked them with both singers. I'm squarely in the category of liking them with Erik. I go back and forth on what my favorite album from these guys is....Some days it's ATN and others it's TDTW....depends on my mood I guess. Either way, they've went to another level with Erik in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes little sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Blackie's been a bit coy over the years, I'm pretty sure it stands for "White Anglo Saxon Protestant", although, I still like to think lf it in my heart as "We Are Sexual Perverts". What can I say?.....I'm a romantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those days are gone. Nobody really gives a shit if it stands for Hearts Eternal Adventurous Treasure. It's more fun making fun of the name now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
