LeD-kHaN Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Page, Plant & co. were considering names like The New Yardbirds, Whopee Cushions and Mad Dogs before the name Led Zeppelin was chosen. I feel that LZ is an appropriate name which conveys strength, aplomb and grace. What would you have called this band? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveAJones Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'd come up with an unpronouncable sigil to represent the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flipkid Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Oddly enough, I cannot imagine this band using any other name... I just can't. Although "Better Than That Bunch of Sods Jeff Beck Put Together" has a nice ring to it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogtired Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Wacko Jacko...or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen... Robert Fripp is such an ordinary gentleman. Humble too. We might have never had John Bonham if not for Moonie's errant suggestion. That had to have disappointed Jimmy with his lead balloon remark. " I'll show you Keith!! I'll get the better drummer in Bonzo and show you what heights we can achieve! Ha! And for you Entwistle, I'll also find a better bassist and you can stay with that twit Pete! " Roger that!

I feel that LZ is an appropriate name which conveys strength, aplomb and grace. What would you have called this band? The Cowsills (oops, already taken ... and who here remembers them??) The Brady Bunch Jimmy Page and the Second Edition (playing off Kenny Rogers & The First Edition; plus, it's the "second" edition of the Yardbirds -- somewhat) The Sex Pistols Percy, Pagey, Bonzo & Jones (to riff off of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) The Sluts The Slags Bastard Rockabilly Children Motorhead Lead ZeppelinI'm just keeding!!

Michael Page Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The name wasnt really important. Theyre music was so powerful and great that they could've called themeslve whatever they wanted it didnt matter what they called the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe why they where entertaining some silly name's as apposed to only the serious type of name. Get people's attention with a freaky name and then hit a home run with the music when some one tune's in to see what it's all about.

Ivar Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hammer of the Gods I think that one suits them well If they were to choose another name I think they would have come up with something divine, epic and mystical, so Hammer Of The Gods wasn't bad at all!
