Kevin Dean 80 Posted April 1, 2017 So I'm getting involved with forming a Stranglers tribute band getting lots of suggestions for a name & Jet Black himself suggests a name ...do you use it ? I'll tell you what it is later . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat Burrito 1,367 Posted April 1, 2017 Almost certainly, simply because it gives the band a bit of credibility before you've even done anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maude 5,139 Posted April 1, 2017 Unless of course the name he suggested was 'The Shittiest Stranglers Tribute....EVER!!' If not then I'd say yes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RhysP 25 Posted April 1, 2017 Why not? Gives you a bit of credibility before you've played a note. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lozz196 4,726 Posted April 1, 2017 Got to go for that, wear that name with pride at every gig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bazzbass 528 Posted April 2, 2017 yes grab that name before someone else does, whatever it is ! all the best, sounds like a lot of fun, love that grindy bass we played Hanging Around and Peaches in the ol days Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Bay 1,873 Posted April 2, 2017 Peaches and no more heros are epic but there are loads more I would love to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey Steve 1,333 Posted April 3, 2017 kind of depends on whether it's better than the others you can think of - if you have to explain to people why it's not a terrible name because Jet suggested it, well, most people aren't going to ask, they're going to think you've got a terrible name. Plus, does he genuinely think it's a great name or was he drunk/feeling mischievous at the time? (though given your location you're begging to be called The Gosport Stranglers, surely) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Dean 80 Posted April 3, 2017 His first suggestion was "Tank" He said there is nothing wishy washy about that name .......But there is a band with that name I think . His second was "The Wranglers" & "No More Zeroes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimryan 31 Posted April 3, 2017 You lot want to get yourselves on the Hampshire bass bash thread. There's more and more PO postcode basschatters than I realised. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conan 380 Posted April 4, 2017 His suggestions being a bit meh... how about "Named by Jet"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muppet 412 Posted April 4, 2017 My friend is in a string quartet doing Stranglers and other covers. They call themselves the Stringlers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Browning 1,537 Posted April 4, 2017 I think I would go with No More Zeroes. It's not a bad name and I do reckon there's some mileage in the endorsement by Jet Black. Of course, there is: Nice'n'Southsea Golden Browndown Let Me Down Eastleigh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
