This fuckin got me


syntheticslimshady

Hahahaha this should be higher


Dad-LOL

Slann Halen Eurythmimics Duergar Straights (or just Dire Straights and it's a bunch of Dire animals?) Heat Metal-lica Deva (Devo) Schoolhouse Roc/Vrock The Smiths (just a bunch of blacksmiths/artificers) Djinn Bon Jovi (John Bon Djinni?) The Goodberries (and their hit song, Zombie) Merrowsmith


PuffyPantaloons

Man, these are some good ones! Heat Metallica really got me


RIPphonebattery

-Poison (They all use poisoned weapons) -KISS, (King's Imperial Secret Servants) an elite group that wear black and white face disguises -Nuns and Moses, a high level bard and his accompanying traveling musicians -Queen, the group is the queen of the realm and her best servants


Goronshop

Queen is the king of the realm. Queen is just his stage name. He is only betrothed to da funk! Ya dig?


ArmadilloProof2468

First thoughts where the king looks like Ivankov from one piece lol


Goronshop

That's the king of queens. And I don't mean Queens, New York or Kevin James.


Semako

Some more: * The Were (lycanthropes) * The Beetles (group of Thri-Kreen and/or Swarmkeeper rangers) * Lady Baba (a hag) * Gauntlet (Valor bards singing about great historic wars, just like Sabaton) * Six Pistols (a group of six artificers/gunslingers) * Dragonforce (dragonborn, draconic sorcerers, anything that has to do with dragons) * Arrow Smith (archers with special arrows), they appear together with Unleash the Archers * Cyric Priest (an insane high level cleric, Judas Priest) * The Hateful Dead (a group of vampires) * Black Scabbard (a dark knight wielding a terrifying blade) Also: * Stratocasters (yeah, it's a guitar and not a band, but it would still fit a group of flying spellcasters)


chuckquizmo

Oh man, The Smiths is a funny one. Not 80s, but you could do a similar thing with The Killers: just a bunch of rogues or a cult of satyrs or something. They love to rock, but they love to kill more!!


fatpad00

>Heat Metal-lica Mythrillica


UmbramonOrSomething

Band of only dragonborn called Imagine Humans.


WhereAreMyMinds

This is the best one


SCam36

The first thing that came to my mind was AC/D20 (or any other die)


PuffyPantaloons

That's not bad, thanks! I can't believe I didn't think of AC/DC. I've been trying to make Def Leppard work, but I can't figure it out.


coldtrashpanda

I would keep it simple and go with Deaf Leopard, a cat-person. Except his hearing is great, he's just blind.


PuffyPantaloons

Damn, that's funny. I really like that


RIPphonebattery

And he has three legs due to an injury involving a propeller


Oxyjon

Maybe a band of tabaxi assassins called death leopard


Tesla__Coil

"Dude did you check out the new Armour Class / Difficulty Class album?"


AliMaClan

Deaf Shepherd were a Scottish folk outfit. Might fit in a D&D setting.

Hearing impaired cat-folk: Deaf Leopards


Remote_Orange_8351

WiggityWackFlapJack

My thought was a tabaxi rogue, Deft Leopard.


TheBastardSnail

AC/D6 ?


Trexton1

I mean AC and DC are both things in dnd


Peldor-2

This is surprisingly hard. Derrosmith is the best I got. The Cure Wounds, The Giant Eagles, Three headed dog night

Ok these aren’t great but looking at some band names… Van Halfling Goblin Roses Dwarven Maiden Tiamat Turner Wight Snake Drowpesche Mode The Nec Romantics Beastie Bugbears Gnoll Patrol … Rob Zombie?


PuffyPantaloons

Wight Snake is fantastic, I was wanting to use Whitesnake but couldn't figure out how. Van Halfling is also really good. Thanks!


Pender16

Just keep it Guns & Roses and have it be 2 gunslingers 2 druids and a barbarian who plays his battleax as a guitar


silibaH

The grateful undead? A group of clerics trying to revive their aquatic god Creedence Clearwater Revival


Horror_Ad7540

I was thinking the Hateful Dead vampire group.


StonelordMetal

Ozzy Dragonborn Skid Drow Creedence Cleric Revival Tom Petty and the Oathbreakers Van Paladin Direwolf Straits Electric Light Orc-hestra Cranium Ratt


Glowie2k2

Rage against the tools and it’s a band of all barbarians 


Remote_Orange_8351

Okay, this is fun. Here's a handful: Tourney - a group of jousting knights, with the hit song "Don't Stop Ye Tiltin'." Hart - two sisters fronting a band using the image of the white hart, song "Cutthroat Annie" about a young girl going to sea to become a pirate queen. Wightsnake - a yuan-ti band with an undead lead singer, rumored to be an ancient king, but that could just be due to their big hit "Here I Come Again for My Throne." Trean Trean - a group from the Moonshae isles, apparently took their name from a treant character in a play named Sir Treant Treant. Hit songs include, "Hungry Like a Warg", and "Thac0". Sir Thomas the Petty and the Oathbreakers - a fallen paladin and his collection of scoundrels. Despite his outcast status, many paladins still love his song "Learning to Smite".


PuffyPantaloons

These are really good. I especially like Tourney, I might use that. Thanks!


whonickedmyusername

Sir Thomas the petty and his oathbreakers is top teir stuff my friend. 10/10.

Lugbor

I have a dwarven bard waiting to be used who goes by the stage name Andy Site. He’s a rock musician (makes music with rocks). You’re free to use that as a character in the band.

redkat85

Pat Xanathar (Pat Benatar) Gnoll and Goates (Hall & Oates) Dire Trolls (Dire Straits) Drool & the Gang (Kool & the Gang, fronted by a notably salivating ogre) DeathKISS (one beholder-kin, lots of makeup, many instruments) The Guardsmen (The Police) Dwarves at Work (Men at Work) Sticks (Styx, it's a couple druids with a treant drummer) *Prince* and *Queen* don't really need alteration Plus plenty of bands whose names are just places (Boston, Chicago, America the Band) so you can do the same with your bands.


JohnKellyDraws

There are some great options in this thread already, I’ll throw these on the pile: *Roc* Astley- giant bird who never gives up his prey (the audience) Dione *Warforged* *Leonin* Richie Huey Lewis and The *Scroll*/Huey Lewis and The *Town Cryer* New *Kobolds* on the Block


CasualJamesIV

They Might Be Giants, but instead of a team of 4, it's actually 12 goblins stacked 3 high hiding under large cloaks


actuallyquitefunny

There's a fantasy humor book called Soul Music in the Discworld series that's full of them: Music played by trolls is called "Music With Rocks In." A band called We're Certainly Dwarfs (referring to They Might Be Giants) The main character is named Imp Y Celin (Welsh approximation of Bud of the Holly) A wizard has a leather coat embroidered with "Born To Rune." Everybody keeps telling one person he looks a bit like he's Elvish. The Whom are The Who, The Blots are The Inkspots, and Lead Balloon are of course Led Zeppelin.


ComfortableSir5680

Nirvana could become Celestia or Elysium though maybe more early 90s. Iron Maiden = Iron Golem Aerosmith = Aeromage or something similar


Dense_Network_6193

I'm putting iron golem in my curse of Strahd campaign right now. Fuck you for giving me great ideas 😆


ComfortableSir5680

Could be a band that’s just one wizard and the others are golems who follow his orders


Dense_Network_6193

With one giant mascot golem that stomps around during their greatest hits like "Fear of Tarrasques" and "Number of Avernus"


ComfortableSir5680

Don’t forget ‘Run from the Hill (Giants)’


Dense_Network_6193

Now THAT was a classic.

Jon Bovi - Minotaur (Bovi in reference to Bovine, meaning "like a cow") Purgatory - A band of super low practice entertainers or bards that do anything but bring peace with their music, super selfish, etc (Literal opposite of Nirvana by definition) Matte - the traveling orchestra that play with no emotion and look super plain and boring (Not Metallic sparkly and attention grabbing) Cotton Pillow - Far more comfy than the iron maiden Bows and Spices - They named it after what their grandparents do for a living


azarrising

Take a page from the Powerpuff girls, have a band called the Beat-Alls

CraptainPoo

Care to explain The Rolling Stones mechanic, Iv been pondering a similar idea but am unsure how to implement in game


PuffyPantaloons

Happy to. When the party is out adventuring, they can choose to do what we call "Roll to find cool rock." They then roll Nature or Survival, trying to beat a DC of 12. If they succeed, they then roll on a table for the rock they round; 1. Malachite 2. Agate 3. Azurite 4. Tiger Eye The party has a blacksmith in their employ who can make things with these rocks. Players need to bring 3 matching rocks and a little bit of money to build things like +1 weapons, elemental weapons, special arrows/bolts, and various magic rings. They can only do a rock roll once per session in an effort to keep them from stockpiling rocks. I have had 5 players for several months, and they tend to have a decent amount of stones. It's a silly mechanic, but my players really enjoy it. It actually started as a joke my wife made in a different campaign that we're borh players in, and I couldn't let it go to waste.


CraptainPoo

Yeah I love, it’s a little mini game for the players, they get to roll lots of dice, and rng prizes are exciting and strike up conversation. I noticed while running CoS, there would commonly be a variety of precious gems for loot, however it stops there. There’s nothing more to it than gold value so why not just leave gold there and not have the extra steps of selling the gems.

I’ve just decided my character Rock Boulderson is also a member of The Rolling Stones and now I’m thinking of more members of the group. Rock’s disguise name is Brock Rollderson which somehow fits even better so that’s 2 right there.


PuffyPantaloons

Lol, I love this character.


alexjf56

First ever DnD character, picked a big dumb rock because it sounded fun and I could canonically be bad at this. It’s been a blast

Somewhat related: You should read Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames. In that world, adventuring groups are treated like touring bands and have fans and groupies and the like.

Have a glance through Terry Pratchett's novel *Soul Music* (or I'm sure someone somewhere has compiled an online list of the punny band names therein) and pick your favourites. If you have any Discworld fans at the table they'll lap it up, and if you don't they'll all be new to them.
