Tell me if this would be a good name for a band.

Hairy Chronic, Jr.

Too much, or not enough?

2. the test is...
Can you see it "in lights"? Can you imagine being interviewed and the band's name is "Hairy Chronic, Jr."?

Is it creative enough? A single sound added to an already famous name?

I think it is funny, but I wouldn't want to get famous with it.

Pretty sure we won't have to worry about that.

10. I'm sure that's what def leppard thought
and weather report and Korn and Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park and the Band and so so many others thought.

You never know. If anything DID happen, are you going to be all, "nah. no big gigs...our name isn't cool enough" ??

3. oh, I get it
the day after 4-20, huh. The Jr. made me read right over, Chronic, therefore it it conceals the reference. I think it's good to be subtle when it comes to this subject, over zealous narcs might show up. You might get a bunch of cowboy's looking for country western music all in a huff, if they walked into a rock show. Ya just never know.

7. My only concern is that it's too exclusionary.
We'd welcome the stoned, and non-stoned alike.

11. Nah, its great. Chronic has gone mainstream just like pimp who's rampant use
I find very ugly (pimp my ride, pimp my blog, etc. There is a chronic taco near my house. I just listened to a punk band called Experimental Dental School which I think is a funny name.

16. My son jams with a guy
that looks like a cross between Kris Kristoferson and Tommy CHong.

They labeled themselves Cheech Kristoferchong....

I was in a band in the 90's called the Wandering Mullberries....lol
