THE BEATLES 1960-1970

为啥叫Beatles?

John loved 'Buddy Holly and the Crickets', so they toyed with insect names. It was John who came up with 'Beetles'. He changed it to 'Beatles' because he said if you turned it round it was 'les beat', which sounded French and cool.

One Direction

为啥叫1D?

Harry came up with the band name because he thought the band had to go in "one direction" to win it all. Well, they didn't win the X Factor UK, but they did win the world!

英国、爱尔兰男子音乐组合。2010年7月23日于歌唱比赛“X音素”(The X Factor)上组成出道。赞恩·马利克退出后是4个人。

迷妹评价:

One Direction are my inspirations and they make me feel like I matter to the world, listening to their song also cheers me up when I'm having a bad day!

THE ROLLING STONES1962-now

为啥叫滚石?

代表作:Miss You

Little did the Rolling Stones know how apt their name – inspired by the title of a Muddy Waters song, “Rollin' Stone” – would turn out to be. Formed in 1962, they hold the record for longevity as a rock and roll band.

1962年4月在伦敦成立的英国摇滚乐队。乐队成立开始时期他们演奏自己改编的蓝调blues、节奏蓝调Rhythm and Blues(R&B)、乡村音乐Country music和摇滚乐。,滚石也始终没有停止从其它音乐形式获得新的灵感。在他们的音乐中他们吸收了雷鬼音乐Reggae、庞克摇滚Punk Rock和舞曲Dance music的成分。

Coldplay

代表作:viva la vida、Fix You治愈神作

为啥叫酷玩?

The band was originally called Starfish, while a friend's group was called Coldplay. When the other band no longer wanted their name, Starfish asked if they could use it instead. The original Coldplay had taken the name from a book of collected poems.

97年成立于英国伦敦的另类摇滚alternative rock乐队。早期作品常被与之声司令、U2等相提并论。八个全英音乐奖、七个格莱美奖、五个MTV音乐录影带奖。并积极投身于社会与政治组织活动。

Great Music! Can't stop listening to it. And not gay at all.

为啥叫皇后?

Queen. Originally called Smile, singer Freddie Mercury came up with the new name for the band, later saying: "Years ago I thought up the name 'Queen'… It's just a name, but it's very regal obviously, and it sounds splendid…It's a strong name, very universal and immediate.
