What If U2 Wasnt "U2"?

[Gonna Run 2 U]

Could any of you see them under a different band name? Im not slick with coming up with good names...any other possible band names that would fit in for "U2"that you can think of (besides passengers or dalton brothers or 2U )? By the way this is how bored I am to come up with some sort of new topic for these boards.

I've always liked "Playing Tonight" as a band name. So that's my pick. Of course, they probably would have been thought smart asses (or arses) and never gotten past playing in local joints.

[A-Z][0-9]

Echo And The Bunnymen.

If anyone says Coldplay, I'm gonna bash them in the face.

The Bunnymen answer was kind of funnier, anyway.

If you think about it, it's really one of the oddest yet brilliant band names to come out of that time...

It's really somewhat benign in it's meaning; a somewhat obscure spy plane or a play on "you too"

Yet graphically it's brilliant.

Television On The Radio




(TV On The Radio would be named Young Liars, and Liars would be named Elder Liars)

 

[The Sad Punk]

Deez Bois Iz Outta Kunt-rollllllllll!! would have been a good one.

 

[Rob33]

Bono hates the name "U2"

I don't understand why...I think it's perfect.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Another fine choice would have been I Don't Understand Why...I Think It's Perfect.

 

[LemonMelon]

"The High C's"



The B-Sharps could be their perennial opening act.

 

[the tourist]

Paul And The (Over) Hype (Of The New Record)

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Bono hates the name "U2"

I don't understand why...I think it's perfect.

So do I, I think it has a good ring to it...

Which member of the band thought up "U2" anyway?

 

[Jon Seidman]

Jim Squishy and the Fishies
Turd Furgeson and the Burlglars
The Drummer´s Gay

 

[FuschiaJade]

anyone remember one of the quotes where bono expresses his less-then-love for the name u2?

I always thought Naked Jawa would be a fine name for a band.

 

[Galeongirl]

The Brian Eno MindSlaves.

 

[Axver]

Another fine choice would have been I Don't Understand Why...I Think It's Perfect.

I'm going to start a band tomorrow morning just to use that name.

All of Interference will be invited to our first concert, which will be held next February. We'll be playing as support for Brian Eno's Four Irish Slaves at the Kunstmuseum 1st anniversary spectacular.

We're opening for them on their Annhilation Tour? Awesome!

Will there be any Mercy?

Also, have we still got that tour date in your backyard?

Brian Eno's Four Irish Slaves promise to begin every show with Mercy until Larry stops liking it. Which means that the second show of the tour will begin with a Westlife cover.

And don't blow the secret about I Don't Understand Why...I Think It's Perfect's secret "pre-debut" appearance in my backyard.
