origin of band names

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

* 10,000 MANIACS - Their name was derived from the title of a Hershel Gordon Lewis horror film about a Confederate ghost town that takes revenge on some Yankee travelers.

* 10CC - Band member Eric Stewart has said publicly that Jonathan King, who signed the group to UK Records, had a dream that his newly signed band had made number one on the album and singles charts simultaneously in America. The band in the dream was called 10cc. The very next morning he gave his newly signed band that same name.

* 3 DOORS DOWN - The band was walking by an old building and they saw a sign with some letters that had fallen off. The remaining letters read 'doors down', and there were 3 band members at the time. It fit.

* AC/DC - A band member saw AC/DC on a vacuum cleaner and figured it has something to do with power. He was right, it means "Alternating Current / Direct Current". The band didn't realize it was also slang for bi-sexual.

* AEROSMITH
