Band Name Origins:
- I asked them personally years ago how they got their band name, and they assured me that they chose the name because it sounded good, and because the figures 242 looked good graphically. I asked them because there were rumours about the band name : some said it referred to resolution #242 of the United Nations that acknowledges the existence of the Palestinian state. Others said it referred to the number of collaborators with the Nazi regime that were executed in Belgium after World War II : a lot of them got the death sentence, but only 242 were carried out. The band members were aware of the rumours, but assured me they only found out later. Submitted by: Inspector Clay
Stupid Band Names:
- Yet another name with a number at the end. Makes me wonder what happened to the first 241 fronts. Submitted by: Dr. Radium
