Bands keep taking the names I want to use for my cabs.
« on: September 25, 2013, 10:45:22 am »
I wanted to call the Neo Geo Evolution build "Robot Lords of Tokyo" after a line in the Clutch song 10001110101


Some other band took it as their name though and I didn't want a cab named after a band I don't listen to.

Then today.....

My tentatively named 90's Arcade Racers are sizing up to be all black, so I was entertaining the thought of calling it "Black Sunshine" after the White Zombie song. 


I search to see if there is any cool concept art around the name and it turns out that somebody also took that name for their band.  :angry:
Again, I don't want my cab to have the same name as a band that I don't listen to.

Guess I shouldn't be naming cabs after song lyrics anyway.  Maybe it's as bad as making a Jim Morrison themed cab and I just don't realize it.

Call it "Rainbow Butt Monkeys"! Nobody's gonna use that for a band name!

Finger Eleven apparently felt the same.
