Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory has admitted in the band’s latest video update from the recording studio that he never liked the group’s name.
Bathory said, “The name of the band has to have some kind of effect. It doesn’t have to be positive; it doesn’t have to be, like, ‘That’s the greatest name in the world!’ It can be, ‘Oh my god, that’s the dumbest f**king s**t I ever heard!’ — equally good, because it got a reaction.”
He continued, “I mean, I don’t think you can beat Five Finger Death Punch. That’s probably the worst f**king name. In fact, we almost changed it, but then Ivan (Moody, vocals) came in and said, ‘That’s the best name ever, they’re gonna f**king hate it! Keep it! That’s f**king ridiculous!'” There are other bands who have said that they have the stupided/worst band name ever, including Dave Grohl, who says Foo Fighters is the dumbest name for a band ever. Five Finger Death Punch is currently in the studio recording its eighth album.
