“I don’t know if you have ever tried to think of band names, but usually you think you have a great one and you look at it the next day and it’s stupid. I had about two hundred of those. Nine Inch Nails stood the two week test, looked great in print and could be abbreviated easily. It really does not have a literal meaning. It seemed kinda frightening. It’s a curse trying to come up with band names.” – Trent Reznor

lik roper sort of started out as a band called ‘public property’ – back in about 1988 or 87; me and some friends were (taking bongs hits) cutting up public property stickers into things like ‘ubli ope’ ‘pubic pope’ and ‘pub proper’ – suddenly my friend loren ozaki said; ‘how about lik roper?’ – we all laughed and weren’t sure why…

then some guy from foothill college walked in and said ‘cool – lik roper – what’s that?’ and that’s when i knew there was something to it…

and the rest is history…

Radiohead is named after a Talking Heads song.

As for the Crystal video, I believe if you look close, “The Killers” is written on the drum kit.

Oh and P!aTD name comes from a song written by Name Taken, titled “Panic,” which includes the line “panic at the disco.” And despite the whole argument around it, I STILL say that it was the song “Panic” by The Smiths, which includes the line “burn down the disco” where it all originated.

The Spice Girls’ name represents Puerto Rican heritage?That’s like saying a great horned owl’s knowledge comes from chocolate dutches!C’mon now!

Anyway,The 49ers(underground hip hop duo from Newark,DE)apparently didn’t get their name from the well known,recently lackluster football team(sorry my fellow fans),they got it from the street they resided(and where I still believe they reside)on(49th Street)where they created their quality flow,soulsonic sound,and synchronized beats that makes these cats super incredible.Sooner or later,this whole ever revolving planet will experience a wandrous piece of matter in the universe,also known as “First State Hip Hop”.

Speaking of which:
