You have been playing your bass guitar or electric guitar for a while and found a few friends that also play and decide to form a band. With all the hard work you put into learning you think you have things covered until you try and find a name for your band.
Along with a great sound a clever band name wouldn’t do you that bad either. Finding the right name is an art, giving it the proper thought from the start, and choosing a name that fits the band will get you recognized. Back in 1976 there was a band named “Wild Cherry”, the song they are best noted for is “Play That Funky Music”. Rob Parissi was the bands lead vocalist and guitarist, he got their name off a box of cough drops.
AC/DC was started by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. AC/DC is short for electric terms alternating current and direct current. If you have ever seen AC/DC in concert or a video you will see Angus Young parading across the stage playing his custom Gibson SG electric guitar, the energy he exerts during a performances fits the name AC/DC. So when your picking out a name for your band give it special thought, the name you select can make a difference.
