so far there was a badvibes, one word so it's "not the same"...they were a faggot white boy blues band from chicago...they have since stopped playing
there is a "the bad vibes" who is a cover band with a female singer who do the worst version of "dont stop believing"i have ever heard....i dont mind
this so much as i find it funny in an odd way.
now there is one from az. called "bad vibe"
these dudes are a "hardcore" band apparently
use google for fucks sake.
get an original idea people

well if there was one from the 60's, i dont know of it
as far as i knew at the time, no one had the name and all these bands came way after we had been playing and had out product
and i didnt care all that much most of the time
but some "hardcore" band using the name "bad vibe" is bullshit in my opinion
total bullshit
you come at the king....you best not miss

i know it's not very punk rock thing to do, but did you trademark the name?
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

well, from what i understood, once you have legit product out under the name, there is some sort of automatic copyright deal.
the cocksucking label we dealt with was supposed to look into it at the time when the chicago band was using it
i told em to not worry about it as we had stuff out before they were even playing at all
and i emailed dude at the time, like 3 times a week, telling him he was a douchebag and his band sucked

Anyone hear the other Wisdom In Chains? I guess they've been around since 92, but if you suck the better band is entitled to the name.

here's a stupid story, but I can't resist.
there was a Upper Darby band consisting of a bunch of old head metal dudes called Dysphoria (sp)
these dudes, haha they were comical dudes, nice as hell, but i digress.....
and then there's the other band Dysphoria (sp) who were a hardcore style band from what I remember.....
anyway,
Bezzie, the singer comes in the tattoo shop with a flyer for some big hardcore metal shin dig and is like, look we're playing this.....
the dudes were a little fried to say the least......
but, they packed their shit and drove out to bumblefuck to play it!!
half jokingly, half kinda foreal

This is true but you may need to jump through hoops to get the rights back. There's a band that we all know that doesn't own its own name. Technically
Ed Hardy owns this bands' name and has the exclusive rights to manufacture clothing and merchandise bearing the band's name. The band existed long
before Ed Hardy registered the trademark but in order for them to win this back they will have to appeal and appeal again to the office of copyrights
and it will be an ordeal for them to get the rights back. Truth be told, I'm not even sure if they realize that they are violating a trademark by
existing. But I'm not about to tell them.

i know there is a technicality that if the name is in anyway different, it's ok to use
so these dudes can use "bad vibe" even though i have whatever right i may have to "the bad vibes"
but i just think it's fucking queer and lame
i dont expect them to have heard of us by any means
but fuckin do a google search and realize that using any form of someone elses name is fucking weak
like one of mark's bands was called "the ducky boys"
then some new band comes along and calls themselves "duckyboy"
now, this new band could be the new beatles but i would never know cuz they are fuckin lame right off the bat for not comin up with their own shit
you come at the king....you best not miss

I've never understood why people don't look into a name before they pick it. In this day of everything in the world being on the internet you can
find out in about five minutes whether or not somebody is using it.
I used to email/annoy bands on myspace that used names that were already taken. There was a Murphy's Law in Vancouver, and another somewhere else. I
saw a few variations of Anti-Heroes too.

I think it is dumb just to have a band name that is kind of close to an already established band's name
for example:
Motorhead
Machine Head
Sheer Terror
Terror
Obituary
The Obituaries
I think there is also a rapper named Madball.......

I'm kinda torn on the name issue. On the one hand, I hate it when some shitty band tries to use the same name or a slight variation of a good band I'm
familiar with, but at the same time, I kinda feel like if a band has a great name and only ends up putting out a 7 incher and a comp track or two
before calling it quits that the name should be open season again. I mean honestly, how many totally new names can there be at this point? Aside from
ridiculous shit that nobody with any sense really wants to use...

Saint how long did it take us to come up with crime pays...
and we killed it with just a demo and some live shows.
I think I'd be pissed if someone came along and started using it...

I was thinking of those discussions we had when I wrote that last comment, but from a different angle. I remember what a pain in the ass it was to
come up with anything that wasn't claimed by someone somewhere, no matter how ridiculous the name. I think it'd be kinda funny if somebody used that
name at this point, but I'd probably be annoyed if they sucked.

not sure where you are from Gavin but could you maybe put something after the name like 'bad vibes nyc'??
(not that you're necessarily from NYC but you get my point).
the problem with hardcore bands is a lot them just have well known phrases as the name of a band. unless you literally make a word up or coin your own
phrase, there's always gonna be the possibility of someone else using it.
Death Before Dishonor for example.
There's a ton of bands called Section 8.
Even if they started in 92, I can't believe there's another band called Wisdom In Chains!
On a sidenote related to the whole band name thing, Sworn Enemy were initally called Mindset but I thought they changed the name due to some legal
bullshit. But now there is some sxe band called Mindset...?
NY's Irate had to call it a day because of some dodgy nu-metal band with the same name.

matty...i hear what you're saying, but no...i'm not puttin shit after the name....that name is ours...some queer hardcore band can use some variation
of it if they are ok with the fact that they are using someone elses deal.
i personally would not be able to do such.
i'm not changin shit.
we used the name since 1999 or so...before any of these other bands used it
so whatever
and like i said, they will be done playing in 10 mins anyway
and we'll still be here
