The extended meaning of BTS (and the new door logo) is Beyond The Scene representing "youth who don't settle for their current reality and instead open the door and go forward to achieve growth" (NOT Behind).
There was already a band called the "Beetles," so they changed the spelling. The original band broke up very shortly after the Fab Four selected their name.
Just as Pogue means "kiss," meaning there are two bands named Kiss, the same is true of Power Station. There's the pop-rock supergroup The Power Station, but also the German electronic band Kraftwerk, whose name means "power station" in German.
Thanks for that info about Kraftwerk. I have dabbled in German enough to know that makes perfect sense. Power Station it is. I have recently learned that a GFI switch is called something in German that amounts to "forlorn stream" in English cognates. As poetic as that is in English; stream=current, and forlorn=looked past, so current is leaking out somewhere, perhaps through a human body, better switch off.
I'm looking forwards to diving into both your books! Have been enjoying your content here for a while now. I'll be donating the books to a local library once I've given them a good read, so others here can enjoy them too!
The reason The Beatles used 'beat' in their name wasn't just because they were playing music. While they were growing up, a very popular form of jazz was called 'Beat' and the people who liked it were called 'Beatniks'. I think Ned Flanders' parents were Beatniks - the boys wore berets and had goatee beards. The girls had big baggy sweaters. It is because Beat music was so prevalent in the late 50's and early 60's, just when The Beatle members were getting started, that they used that spelling. The name may well have been a response to The Crickets - I'm just talking about the spelling in the name, nothing deeper than that. I'm an old fart - I recall this stuff.
Ehhh I think the Behind The Scenes comment you are referring to was the leader being sarcastic. In fact in a recent interview he said, "It is not Behind The Scenes guys" Like in a "The joke is getting old now" kinda way.
Though they may not necessarily be fit for your top five, I believe Twenty Øne Piløts deserves an honorable mention. It's very unique, there's a good story behind it, and they're grammy winners with a large fan base.
I would like to also point out that "Beyonce" is an Anglicization of her mother's Louisiana Creole maiden name. Also, Beyonce's dad's former boss was a friend of my family. I heard him say that the best worker on his new team had quit to manage his daughter's singing career. I asked who that was and he said "Girl's Tyme; They sing at malls." At the time, Matthew Knowles was a top-rated sales and support rep for the medical equipment division of Xerox. He was makin' boocoo dinero. BTW, "boocoo" is a French-derived slang term once used on the Gulf Coast of the US between Mobile and Houston. I think they still use it in Alabama. "Dinero" is just Spanish for "money". Mabe a good video subject would be French derived terms used as slang in the southern US. "Boocoo", "Lagniappe" and "P**n-T4ng" would be obvious examples.
You could probably do a lot of videos on band names, given there are so many bands and many with unusual, unexpected, or interesting names. Like Toto, Steely Dan, Genesis, or Everything But The Girl. Tears For Fears, Talking Heads, ABBA, Asia, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Blood Sweat and Tears, Earth Wind and Fire, The Buggles, etc, etc. The list goes on forever. You could group them under different subjects, too, like bands named after place names: America, Asia, Chicago, Kansas, Boston, Europe, etc.
I have a theory for how Destiny's Child came to be: "Destiny" means "fate", and with their immense beauty, it's only natural to assume that they are the daughters of fate itself.
When you started naming numbered bands I thought "Sum 41, Blink 182, 7 Mary 3, Finger 11..." 🤣 Edit: and then Blink was the second band lol. Fwiw, I always thought the 182 (I always pronounce it one eighty-two) came from the Timothy Hutton movie "Turk 182".
Also one of the reasons why the BTS fan base is called A.R.M.Y. Also the symbols for both A.R.M.Y. and BTS are suppsord to represent military sheilds or vests.
I watched 1984 last night. We know INGSOC produced songs for the use of "proles" (but not party members) so I want to know what THEIR bands would be called. Big Brother and the Brotherettes? 🤣
What's your favourite band name?
Nine Inch Nails
Barenaked Ladies, apparently if they'd known they'd be successful they'd have picked a different name.
Metallica
Twenty One Two, System of Down, Red Hot Chilly Peppers are my favorite
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard
I'm so glad you mentioned Band 346 and Band 74, they are some of my favourite bands out there
Song 32: Recording 2.04 by Band 74 is really one of my favorites. And Number Twelve Looks Just Like You.
@@Bacopa68 Ikr! Finally someone with good music taste
Legend has it, if you stand in a bathroom while staring into the mirror and blink 182 times, someone comes and carries you home.😂

Pete Best was The Beatles former Drummer, not Peter Sutcliffe.
Stu Sutcliffe was a Beatles Guitarist tho.
There was already a band called the "Beetles," so they changed the spelling. The original band broke up very shortly after the Fab Four selected their name.
182 is the police code for murder. As noted in the movie with the same name
At 3:20, his name was Stuart Sutcliffe, not Peter.
And he was the bassist, not the drummer. He's conflated bassist Stuart Sutcliffe and drummer Pete Best.
I went looking up Peter Sutcliffe, confused, and found out Peter Sutcliffe was a serial killer. Glad they kicked him out of the band :)
also, actual Peter Sutcliffe was a serial killer in the mid-late 70s
@@LeChaunce A Beatmanteau, so to speak. Yeah, he meant Pete Best.
@@likebot. If he meant Pete Best instead of Stu Sutcliffe he was wrong. :)
"Bands aren't simply called things like Band 346 or Band 74."
But there is, of course, a band simply called "The Band"
Just as Pogue means "kiss," meaning there are two bands named Kiss, the same is true of Power Station. There's the pop-rock supergroup The Power Station, but also the German electronic band Kraftwerk, whose name means "power station" in German.

Now I'm thinking "Band 74" would make a pretty good name for a band.
Why is the band named "Rammstein" (with two M) despite the name af tha US air Base is Ramstein (with one M)?
I think the original name was "Ramstein Flugschau", but they switched names out of good taste.

I like the name of the carpenter quartet who played tubas in their spare time. They were called "the Tuba Four".

Weren't the Beatles part of a genre called mersey(side) beat?

I'd love to see more videos looking into band names. I like rock an metal myself. So some harder bands would be great to see.

That's why Beyoncé is written with a accent on the E.
I like how the story of Blink 182 is just like
“This user name is taken, may we suggest Blink-182”
Pink Floyd - named after lead singer/guitarist's (Syd Barrett) favourite blues musicians - Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

As a kid i always joked that a band that had a hard time keeping rhythm would be called "The Beatless"
9:55 Your band name could be "The Name Sakers"
Stu Sutcliffe played bass. Pete Best played drums. Peter Sutcliffe was the Yorkshire Ripper.
I have a theory for how Destiny's Child came to be:
"Destiny" means "fate", and with their immense beauty, it's only natural to assume that they are the daughters of fate itself.
Peter Sutcliffe?
You mean former drummer Pete Best or former bassist Stuart Sutcliffe
Band 346….doesn’t sound that bad. I’d buy tickets.
We all know BTS actually means “Built To Spill”
💀💀
I don't get it
@@RD-oo6yq look up “built to spill” give them a listen they’re very good

The Presidents of the United States of America
goated band
Peaches, Hank.
i thought blink-182 was called that because 182 is halfway through the year & it's like you blink and everything's half gone
6:32 The "Pouges"?
Also one of the reasons why the BTS fan base is called A.R.M.Y.
Also the symbols for both A.R.M.Y. and BTS are suppsord to represent military sheilds or vests.
Especially with the old ones. There’s a slight resemblance with the trapezoid logos but the ARMY and BTS logos do match so
Beatles can also work in French as Les Béat.
Now do the best girl group of all
Which one?
The Hex Girls, obviously.
06:32 ooh, typo 😮
How about The Who , The Rolling Stones, The Guest Who , The Bee Gees , Glady's Night and Surpremes how did these groups get their names ?
The Blink182 think is such an Xbox Live thing to do xDD
"ninjadragonballshadowsonicgamer182 wants to play Modern Warfare 2"
I'm currently digging the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Where they got that name from is a mystery. 🤣
Wet Willie and the Willietes
Are you implying there are real people out there that say it Blink - Eighteen Two? That’s it, we’re doomed.
I watched 1984 last night. We know INGSOC produced songs for the use of "proles" (but not party members) so I want to know what THEIR bands would be called. Big Brother and the Brotherettes? 🤣
