Think of it along the same line as Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly and Led Zeppelin.

I'm with this, I actually like the name Mellow Stampede...it's also kinda like Soft Machine...

It's kinda like when I, like so many of the rest of us rock dorks, riffs on fake band names, and one I came up with was the Harshmellow Peeps, and that was awhile ago...

So you see, this sort of thing has been tossed around a while.

However, some alternate titles for songs could include:

1. We Should Make Nachos
2. It's Just a Show
3. I Know Exactly What Sandwhich I'm Gonna Order for Lunch
4. It's Time To Be Creative
5. Oh! Fiddlestyx!

A classic rehearsal space rib.

Another classic rehearsal space rib is trying to throw other bands off the song - early cues and stuff. I had a space next to Alice in Chains.

The fake sequel naming is a long-standing joke in my band. Aside from the working title of our next record (Use Your Illusion III), we played a show once and announced each song as:

"More Sympathy for the Devil"
"December's Grandchildren (and Everybody's)"
"Let it Bleed Again"
"12 x 6"
"Re-Exile on Main St."
"Betweener the Buttons" (my favorite)
etc.

God, it went on and on. And, I tell you, I was shocked - SHOCKED - that no one laughed.

Dan

"Tetsuo III: Fist Of The Fist!"

i'm pretty sure with a title like that it doesn't fucking matter.

you could've called the song something far, far worse.

i think "you make one up, its up to you" is an ok song title, why you changing it.

Loretta,

your so supportive these days. What gives?

I have chosen option 3 --no opinion.

hi,
4 pages into this thread and i still don't get how Steve's coming up with the "mellow stampede" name could possibly make him sound mean.
i guess i don't grasp the english language that much (i'm italian).
maybe someone could kindly describe to me what exactly is a "mellow stampede" and satisfy my curiosity? i don't know...

Total waste of time and money, but this has me chuckling like a two ton tit.

me too, and if the band the next room over wasn't Quinn Sharber (who is a way better guitar player than me) I would do it in a heart beat.
