My son got Guitar Hero II for Christmas. Of course I had to try it out. One of the first choices you have to make is to name your group. Since when I hear “group” I tend to think of Z Mod 4, I decided to name it Zemod Phor. Now, when you enter it, the game only shows you nine spaces, but when I got to the final “r”, it allowed me to enter it. However, on the score screens and such it shows it as “Zemod Pho”, thus ruining my pun to all but a few Ebonic speaking mathematicians (and unfortunately “Ebonic speaking Mathematicians” is way to long to use as a group name).
Guitar Hero 2 allows for many more. My main GH2 “band” is Seven Deadly Sins (from a Flogging Molly song). The wife’s is Sonic Death Monkey (High Fidelity).
Guitar Hero 1: Captain Socks (where I got my username from)
GH2: Archdiocese of Fargo (relgious terminology makes for great band names)
Rocks the 80s: Lard Muffin
It’s not surprising that Doper band names are so much more inventive than what you see on most video game boards.
As for mine, I was goofing around with one of those random band name generators years ago and it spit out The Dreaded Milkman Conspiracy and much hilarity ensued. I had to shorten it for the game so we’re not so dreaded any more. For the 80s edition, I went with something more decade specific.

80s Edition: Skeletor’s Closet
