The True Meaning Of Rock And Roll Band Names

The names of Rock & Roll bands are often quite cryptic. John Lennon said The Beatles were named after Buddy Holly’s Crickets but in his book former drummer Pete Best claimed The Beatles were named after the Beat bands and Beat music of the time period. Named after The Beat Generation, a term coined by Jack Kerouac to describe the returning World War Two vets’ disenfranchisement, The Beatles name had the same basic meaning that Metallica had to Metal Music years later. According to Best this was found to be presumptuous and pretentious by the other Merseyside bands.
