This is a pretty fun game that popped up on another forum I frequent. Basically, I'm going to list off the opposite name of a band that exists out there and everyone tries to figure it out. And then people come up with their own lists for others to figure out.
For example:
Slow Eye Stillness = R.E.M. (Rapid Eye Movement)
And the list
Nightmare Cinema
Skepticism Forever
King
The Discouragements
An Improper Square
Fairweather Pacifists of Life
Arrogant Cat
Cruel Uncertainty
Well, there's 8. Have at it!
-
Well, Queen.
For the rest, too much thinking.
-
A Perfect Circle & Modest Mouse
none of the others popped out at me
-
Nightmare Cinema
Dream Theater
The Discouragements
Yeah Yeah Yeahs ("Yeah!" has to be the opposite of discouragement, right?)
Fairweather Pacifists of Life
S.O.D.
Cruel Uncertainty
Merciful Fate
-
Nightmare Cinema hits me as cheating, since the guys in Dream Theater actually used to use that moniker for encores occasionally; apparently they would switch instruments for shits and giggles.
-
Skepticism Forever = Faith No More
I think that's all of them.
-
Close. The Discouragements was The Temptations, but I can see how the Yeah Yeah Yeahs would fit.
Alright. Someone post more!
-
The Incumbents
South of Africa
Wound
The Rise
Hourwomen
-
Hourwomen = Minutemen
I really hope nobody makes a joke about Hourwomen, and how the name denotes females with sexual longevity, by perhaps pointing out the differences between the sexual performances of men to women, and maybe forming a quip like "I really hope the Hourwomen aren't attracted to Minutemen, lest they become dissatisfied with their love lives! Ho ho!". I really hope nobody does that.
-

Um, in the Hollywood movie Gremlins a kid gets a thing called a mogwai and is told not to feed it after midnight or it'll turn into a gremlin. Something like that. Haven't seen it since it came out in the theatre... Regardless, in that movie a mogwai is as good as opposite to a gremlin...
