O.K., so a while ago I'm getting art worked @ pair-o-dice and by the end of it me and Dustin have decided to form a band. We're leaning towards an 80's metal sounding angry/accept/venom-highsolo/scorpion/maiden kind of feel.
He's all over the name "Coligula" and I'm thining
"Area 151".
.........out of curiousity which do you prefer? - Thu, 23 Jun 2005 7:05pm

I would go with Caligula. Area 151 sounds like all those other mainstream dockers-panted bands that follow the trend of having a bandname thats a word and a number (ie. Blink 182, Matchbox 20, Finger 11, Sum 41, 3 Doors Down, etc, etc, etc). Don't fall into that stupid trend. Caligula sounds more Venom-esque. But thats my opinion.

Caligula for sure, way more original, and if you know who Caligula was, it's quite a hardcore & sinister name. I don't even like metal, but I'd go see a band called Caligula! Just make sure you spell it with an A and not an O, unless you think nonsense words are cooler than bad-ass roman emperors. - Fri, 24 Jun 2005 8:35am

I don't think it's fair to compare the name area 151 to all tht other number shit. 151 is the most lethal liquor legaly available. I had a friend bring me back some 151 when he came back from vacation and he couldn't do it 'cause the air port people said it was way to volitile to take on the plane. It's not at all random like that other shit and it ties ito something too. If we go with caligula we'll have to wright a song about sister fuckig though. - Fri, 24 Jun 2005 7:19pm

It reminds me of area 51. Way too overused and unoriginal. You could put an alien on the album cover and it would be uber cheesy. IMO Coligula is more original and pretty cool.

If you are going for names of liquor, you should call your band George Dickel. ;) - Sat, 25 Jun 2005 4:47pm

Well your liver, not mine! Ya know I thought of a few decent names, but I guess since I'll never start a band (and with my bad memory) I've completely forgotten them. Yeesh! - Tue, 28 Jun 2005 7:48am

I just googled 'Caligula' and the band name already exists. Also, 'Area 51' is a band already. I know you want to be Area 151 but it's pretty close. Just remember to register whatever name you eventually choose because it sucks to have to change your name once you've got momentum built up and a fan base. - Tue, 28 Jun 2005 12:00pm

I think Area 151 can be very appropriately compared to the other name/number band names out there. They all mean something... most people just don't know what it is. People just think they're random numbers because they seemingly have no meaning. It's very likely it would be the same with Area 151. Caligula is a rad name. - Tue, 28 Jun 2005 1:08pm

Hey Guys, I like the name 'Bad Angel'. It's a catchy name with a twist, cause as you may imagine people.. such as myself always assume angels to be, ya know - good! but maybe there are bad ones out there. That would be freightening. I think it's an intriguing thought. - Wed, 29 Jun 2005 9:25am

Look kid, satan is a DEVIL, you got it all wrong. Angels are the good ones ie Della Reese - touched by an angel - all that Jazz. You should do you homework - that fallen angel stuff is bupkiss. - Wed, 29 Jun 2005 10:53am

.... well all religion is bupkiss man !

But I thought the fable says something about Satan being a fallen angel who wanted to be like god and was cast to earth as a human , it's very strange how the story of Satan mirrors Jesus’ life . God sent his only son to earth ? . Jeebus said that the only way to god was through gods son , "himself" ,isn’t that kind of like usurping gods word?….and that's what got the fucker killed ,being a heretic.

Hey kid go read your bible yea frigin heathen ! lol - Wed, 29 Jun 2005 5:15pm
