Farin Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 Here's one: The Killers Toad the Wet Sprocket Heaven 17 Megadeth
blind-fitter Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 Is the link something to do with where the bands derived their names? From fictional bands / characters? I know where Heaven 17's name came from (Anthony Burgess's novel "A Clockwork Orange"), and have a vague idea about The Killers (something to do with New Order performing as "The Killers" in something or another) Toad The Wet Sprocket sounds like something from Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy (I'm guessing now). Incidentally, they aren't even the first band to use the name. There was a British rock band by the same name in the early 1980s. As for Megadeth, I've no idea. Though a few minutes research finds that Pink Floyd had, in their early years, called themselves "The Meggadeaths". So, on second thoughts, is it that all of them have pre-used names?
Farin Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 The first guess was correct, they all got their name from fictional bands. "Heaven 17" was a pop group in "A Clockwork Orange" New Order is correct for "The Killers" too. In the video for "Crystal" a band of that name was performing (they had that name on the bass drum) "Toad the Wet Sprocket" is a band mentioned in a Monty Python / Eric Idle monologue called "Rock Notes" on the Contractual Obligation Album (1980) and lastly: "Megadeth" is a band mentioned in a "The National Lampoon Radio Hour" sketch
blind-fitter Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 What links: Wham Therapy Man Or Astroman Forward Russia
Farin Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 the only thing I can think of is the inclusion of question or exclamation marks in their band names... Wham! Therapy? Man or Astro-man? ¡Forward, Russia!

Brad_M Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 What's the common link between: Courtney Love David Bowie Iggy Pop Frank Sinatra
Farin Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 I guess the fact that they all acted in films is too easy?
