Names -> Cool Band Names -> I, Page 1
Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.
I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.

Bart complains when Akira, the chinese instructor assigns the class a book to read instead of teaching them karate, and Akira's response is "Ahhh, the impetuousness of youth.

| Inability Not To Suck | I read on a message board a topic called What is wrong with Chris Rix? (former Florida State quarterback) The best response, by far, was Inability not to suck. It's cool because it's a double negative that says that the band does, in fact, suck. | Tom | ||
