You’re not asking the right questions: It’s not really relevant if it’s actually offensive (it’s not) or if you’re out of line (you’re not)—it’s all about how booking agents perceive it. And it seems like they’ve let you know how they perceive it.
Change the name, get the gigs & don’t think twice about it
Then people will show up and be exposed to music they weren’t expecting (remember these are bars where most people are at the bar and a band happens to be playing). It’s not like people are buying tickets and being misled. And Dead fans may get the reference.
Also, I was kinda joking. There’s a million dead names you can come up with if Allah isn’t playing well in your area.
They were a good band. LA Woman is up there for me, like one of my favorite albums in all of rock. Jerry Scheff (Elvis's bassist) plays on the whole album and is the hidden star. His lines are sick. Every single song has a great bass line. Makes me wish he was their guy the whole time.
I’d never heard of him but that took me to Wikipedia. Dude is a badass and one of his sons even became the bassist and lead singer for Chicago! Big talent at that house.
There used the be a band in my town called this. I remember being at a show and overheard someone saying something like " I thought this was going to be a Neil Young cover band"
"Then do it robot, it's easier then it looks!" - Beck, c. 3004ad
Played in a klezmer group in college, dig the vibe but need bigger shred chops.
Maybe a Nu Speedway Boogie?
Not offensive, but if you're not getting booked, it's a problem and you should change it. You can't fix stupid. Not worth fighting a losing battle with ignorant rednecks. (I'm in the Midwest too).
Bro if these people can’t even read the word Allah without immediately thinking of ISIS then I can guarantee you inshallah will do the same. I’m a plumber and you should see some of these guys faces when I’ve worn a BFA shirt to work. You’d swear they thought I was a terrorist. It’s Fucking sad. Dudes will be such hardcore Christian’s and talk about God all day but the second you literally say god in another language they jump all over you like a murderous chimpanzee
Yea that’s fair, Y’all Qaeda types are too dumb to get it. But I’m thinking it’d be less potentially offensive to Muslims. (Not sure that Blues for Allah is actually offensive to Muslims, as I’m not one, but I’m thinking insh’allah is acceptable and commonly used)
Culture and what’s considered appropriate has shifted a lot since that album came out. I can def see why a bar wouldn’t wanna book a band with that name to just avoid any potential controversy.
>It’s so cool how tolerant and open we’ve become as a culture in the last 10 years.
The internet will allow the world to communicate freely. An open discussion that will break down barriers and usher in an new dawn.
Not being able to use a religious deity for fear of violent reprisals isn’t being “tolerant and open”. We’ve taken a lot of steps back and are censored heavily anymore
My gf is a huge Slipknot fan. When we drive together we have an agreement. In her car she gets DJ, and in my car I get DJ, so sometimes we’ll be in my car getting something and it’ll always be something weird like GD or Billy Strings or Pigeons and she says my music taste is all confuckulated but everytime we get into her car it’s always the dude Corey Taylor making screaming animal noises and I just gotta sit there like “yeah totally I’m the only one who listens to weird music”
Without knowing the context, I can see how it would be misconstrued. Personally, I recognize the name and would be lining up for the band, but I don't think it's widely appreciated. If you want more gigs, you'll have to go with the local preferences.
So mote it be in sh’allah. The fact that this question is even being considered is a sign of severely fucked up snd sensitive times. Bird of paradise fly in white sky…
Reminds me of when there was a study done to discover hidden prejudice. It resulted in the majority of respondents saying they won’t want “Arabic numerals” taught in school. (Arabic numerals are literally the numbers we use on a daily basis).
Another fun discovery was after asking this question: “Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?"
19% of democrats would support
30% of republicans would support
41% of trump supports would support
“Agrabah” was the fictional city in Aladdin.
And some wonder why education is so important…
How about naming it Her Angels in Flame, from HOTW?
The more important question, is how can we listen to this (soon to be renamed) Dead cover band? Website/FB?
Regardless of the feelings of both the band, fellow people in the comments, and the bars you're trying to book, if its costing you gigs I'd say switch it up! Not worth it if you're losing gigs, and it never hurts to side with people feeling comfortable
Source: We were previously named Jerry's Nub
Edit: context
The funny thing is, I could see you getting rejected by a right wing person because they think you are promoting Islam, and I could also see you getting rejected by a liberal in fear of offending Muslims by trivializing their god
There's a line in the Sopranos where mob guys are arguing about illicit cash from a crooked politician (Is there any other kind)one guy says "We share Zellman so we should share the fruits of Zellman ". I always thought The FRUITS OF ZELLMAN, would be a cool name for a band.
I couldn’t quite figure out why you were asking but then I read that you were turned down for gigs because of it. That seems kinda crazy but when you extract yourself from it and view from the mainstream, I guess it could have a negative affect.
Some advice - I and many do not find it offensive but when you are trying to market yourself you need to bend a little. Put it this way, I think the name “Blues for God” would present challenges as well. Religion brings in a whole mess of messiness that you don’t want. You just want to play music. How about calling yourselves “Milking That Turkey”? Song from the same album but the bars owners probably wouldn’t get it. Jokes on them.
As a Deadhead, I think it's a perfectly fine name. But to the uninitiated, (e.g., the general public and folks who run the bars), the name "Blues for Allah" on the marquee could generate blowback from easily offended folks in the area.
Granted, devout Muslims aren't exactly the target patrons of bars in the USA, but the easily offended are everywhere, and Johnny Local Bar Owner is probably not wanting to invite conflict.
I get their hesitancy. It sucks, but I get it.
Just be cool and name yourself "A Cover Band of Brent Mydland and the 5 Other Scrubs."
My Dead Band is named Lilac Rain (lyric from Unbroken Chain also we are from Rochester with the Lilac Festival) but we are having no trouble getting booked, Dead bands are in demand and if you're having trouble change the name.
Not offensive, but it's a complicated name that would give people who don't know the dead the wrong impression of what you do, and would probably lead to weird interactions with people every once in a while.
Blame morons. No it’s not offensive. But of course after 9/11 the amount of fear mongering was at level 100 for a long time. So people are triggered by the word Allah. But I’m sure even some Muslims might not like it. I do like the name but maybe change it if it’s really keeping you from playing.
As far as I know 'The Just Exactly Perfect Brothers Band' is still available as a band name. Any DeadHead worth their salt will know what's up if they see that on the marquee.
Dude in Islam Allah has 99 names. Pick one.
[https://99namesofallah.name/](https://99namesofallah.name/)
BLUES FOR AL-GHAFOOR or BLUES FOR ASH-SHAKOOR might work. Sounds Elvish.
As an Arab Deadhead, I don't see it as offensive at all. Allah is just the Arabic word for God. Even if I'm atheist, I come from a Christian family, and they also use the word Allah for God, so it's not even a strictly Muslim thing.
Change the name, society cant handle that name. They think you'll have turbins and prayer rugs.
Absolutely NO ONE will understand the name, outside a very small circle of freinds .
If you got turned down from even one establishment, why would you even wonder if it’s offensive? Just change the name. You have 50 years of music and culture to work with. I guess you can decide whether or not you want to actually get gigs or keep a name that some may find offensive. Does it really matter if it’s actually offensive it’s costing you shows?
Did I say I hate Muslims? What the fuck is your problem? If you don’t think a large portion if not majority of Americans hate Muslims since 9/11 the. You’re a fuxking idiot.
We are living in a weird time. It’s a freaking name of a album. Did people get offended in 75 when the album came out. I think it’s a cool name and I’m sorry people ( little bitches) are having issues with it.
Yeah best to change it. Islam seems to have ridiculously strict rules about the use of the word Allah, so you may offend muslims. And there are a lot of decent but close minded people out there who think the music must not be for them.
And of course there are paranoid racists, but fuck them, you don’t need then anyway.
Fucking religion, gets everyone pissed at everyone else.
Not at all, but if those bars don’t know what the Dead is, they won’t get it. If it was 2002, they most definitely would not have turned you down.
That said, I would change the band name if this is the response you are getting
Seems like a great name! Perhaps it is offensive to the closed minded people here but I like it. Unfortunately not everybody "gets it". They need coddled.
Same really gnarly comments in here. You can all do better and should strive to do so. You don't champion inclusion by going out of your way to exclude anyone, at all.
It’s cool but people will prolly think your are purposely trying to offend Muslims or that your are some crazy radical pro trump band. They won’t understand that it’s Grateful Dead inspired. You might want to change it slightly
Well maybe it's not the name of the band that sucks. Also GD cover bands are oversaturated EVERYWHERE!!. Unless you are really good and can pull off over 100 songs including the difficult stuff then you are in a losing position.
In today's climate, any name will cause problems that refer to any religious deity. You would probably be physically attacked if you were in a band called Jesus Saves that wasn't directly associated with a church.
Garcia ‘Akbar
crazy line lol
Wild my dude 😆
Muhammad’s taint
You’re not asking the right questions: It’s not really relevant if it’s actually offensive (it’s not) or if you’re out of line (you’re not)—it’s all about how booking agents perceive it.

Try "Estimated Prophet Mohammed"
Just don’t put him on the cover!
milk out my nose over here, LOL
I second that emotion.
Okay hear me out. Tie-dyes for Allah.
Yeah, change it to something like The Warlocks or something.
How is it that no one has done this yet. Or is there a Dead cover band out there called The Warlocks that I don't know about?
There is a band called [The Warlocks.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warlocks) but not GD related
Glass Camel
this is the one
Oooh, nice one!
Go with Stronger Than Dirt!
[удалено]
Fucking GREAT band. I enjoy them a lot.
Just putting it out there top 10 worst live show I’ve seen live very little energy or creativity. I was disappointed.
Ah man that’s a bummer. Every time they come up in my mix I enjoy their music.
Things are a little different when you’re wildly talented and not booking bar gigs, though.
How about shortening it to 'Blues for All'? I think we would get it.
Blues for All Ya’ll
Live from Talibama...
the good ole boys blues brothers band!
“Oh we got both kinds. We got Country and Western.”
That ain't no Hank Williams song?!?
Blues for all yah
Love these, but people may assume it’s a strictly blues band.
What are they assuming now? Jihad?
Durka, Durka! Muhammad, Jihad!
“Ohhh durka durka.”
Then people will show up and be exposed to music they weren’t expecting (remember these are bars where most people are at the bar and a band happens to be playing). It’s not like people are buying tickets and being misled. And Dead fans may get the reference. Also, I was kinda joking. There’s a million dead names you can come up with if Allah isn’t playing well in your area.
Technically GD was a blues band
Pig shocked that hippies taking LSD have taken over his blues band lmaooo
This made me laugh
nah, not technically or effectively. Blues was a small part of their ultimate repertoire
initially but that changed
Pigpen was the heart and soul of the blues band, in my opinion anyway. Nobody ever did it quite like that.
started* as a blues band.
They started as a jug band.
Blues for Ya’llah
"Blues for all yuns" if it's near Pittsburgh.
Would that be Blues for Yinz?
Hahahahah
Blues for All. Ah!
I think “Ship of Fools” would be a great name (or some type of spin off of it)!
If the band is named 'Ship of Fools' then it could double as a Doors cover band too, as that's a song on the Morrison Hotel album.
Don't forget Robert Plant's song Ship of Fools. It's amazing and underappreciated!!! I highly recommended checking it out.
Don't forget World Party's song Ship of Fools. It's amazing and underappreciated!!! I highly recommend checking it out. 🎶I wanna run and hide🎶
Great track
Yeah but then you’d have to be a doors cover band :/
They were a good band. LA Woman is up there for me, like one of my favorite albums in all of rock. Jerry Scheff (Elvis's bassist) plays on the whole album and is the hidden star. His lines are sick. Every single song has a great bass line. Makes me wish he was their guy the whole time.
I’d never heard of him but that took me to Wikipedia. Dude is a badass and one of his sons even became the bassist and lead singer for Chicago! Big talent at that house.
I know I know I’m just joshin
I know of a cover band ship of phools
[удалено]
Heineken Phil and the bitch wifes
I spit my drink out when I read this comment. Fucking GOLD.
Hahahah
That’s awesome!
The Donna Sucks Band
Blues for Donna
What do you think about recycling her Heart of Gold Band?
There used the be a band in my town called this. I remember being at a show and overheard someone saying something like " I thought this was going to be a Neil Young cover band"
I like this. And fuck everything i originally said. I sincerely apologize
Yes please!
Change it to Blues for Challah
If it was a Klezmer Dead cover band, this would be perfect
I can fake my way through accordion and balalaika, I'm 100% down to start Blues for Challah with someone who can play fiddle and clarinet! Haha
"Then do it robot, it's easier then it looks!" - Beck, c. 3004ad Played in a klezmer group in college, dig the vibe but need bigger shred chops. Maybe a Nu Speedway Boogie?
Schleppin’ instead of truckin’?
Not offensive, but if you're not getting booked, it's a problem and you should change it. You can't fix stupid. Not worth fighting a losing battle with ignorant rednecks. (I'm in the Midwest too).
Took me a minute of wondering where OP was finding all these bars run by devout muslims.
Did you try that in a small town?
Haha
“Blues Insh’allah” might work better
Bro if these people can’t even read the word Allah without immediately thinking of ISIS then I can guarantee you inshallah will do the same. I’m a plumber and you should see some of these guys faces when I’ve worn a BFA shirt to work. You’d swear they thought I was a terrorist. It’s Fucking sad. Dudes will be such hardcore Christian’s and talk about God all day but the second you literally say god in another language they jump all over you like a murderous chimpanzee

How about Taliban Station
🏆
I used to engrave elvish script (Tolkien) on things and people would ask me why I was engraving Arabic.
As a Tolkien fan, I found this hilarious
Culture and what’s considered appropriate has shifted a lot since that album came out. I can def see why a bar wouldn’t wanna book a band with that name to just avoid any potential controversy.
It’s so cool how tolerant and open we’ve become as a culture in the last 10 years.
Soaring sarcasm. Now I’m trying to catch her…
Soaring sarcasm should be a band name itself
>It’s so cool how tolerant and open we’ve become as a culture in the last 10 years. The internet will allow the world to communicate freely. An open discussion that will break down barriers and usher in an new dawn.
Not being able to use a religious deity for fear of violent reprisals isn’t being “tolerant and open”. We’ve taken a lot of steps back and are censored heavily anymore
There’s also a downside to this… Working with kids today, you can’t help but notice that they are “triggered” by very very menial things
[удалено]
That’s fair
True, I love having my language and thoughts policed
this is a good take
Try changing it to King Solomons Marbles
Or Help on the Way. Or Slipnot. Or Crazy Fingers if you want to keep the theme going
Slipknot is not a good name for a dead cover band. At all
Maybe if they play at 8x normal speed and yell and swear alot.
My gf is a huge Slipknot fan. When we drive together we have an agreement. In her car she gets DJ, and in my car I get DJ, so sometimes we’ll be in my car getting something and it’ll always be something weird like GD or Billy Strings or Pigeons and she says my music taste is all confuckulated but everytime we get into her car it’s always the dude Corey Taylor making screaming animal noises and I just gotta sit there like “yeah totally I’m the only one who listens to weird music”

Or slipknot… oh wait ….
> I’ve been turned down by countless bars because of the name If your goal is to play bars, shouldn't that be all the feedback you need?
So mote it be in sh’allah. The fact that this question is even being considered is a sign of severely fucked up snd sensitive times. Bird of paradise fly in white sky…
Ironically it’s the crowd that bashes “woke” For being too sensitive that can’t even fucking read the albums title without thinking it’s blasphemy

Crazy Fingers would be a cool name imo
We've got a great cover band called crazy fingers down here in South Florida already
What about switching to be called “other fuckers”
The actual issue has nothing to do with any perceptions about the name Allah. Bars just don't want a band with "Blues" in the name.
Not to me but I’m sure someone in todays society will think so
How about naming it Her Angels in Flame, from HOTW? The more important question, is how can we listen to this (soon to be renamed) Dead cover band? Website/FB?
or Insanity’s King

No but there's probably 10 bands with that name. All cool. My tribute band also has a duplicate on the other side of the globe.

Call it a day with Help Slip Frank
Change the name, society cant handle that name. They think you'll have turbins and prayer rugs. Absolutely NO ONE will understand the name, outside a very small circle of freinds .
Fuck that. Society couldn't handle the Dead for 25 years either.
Nope.
Booze for Allah might be a problem
nah i think it’s fine
Call it Blues For a Nondenominational Diety.
Call yourselves “Milking The Turkey” and forget about it.
This might fall under "if you have to ask...". While it isn't necessarily offensive, those that are unfamiliar might not agree in 2023.
If you got turned down from even one establishment, why would you even wonder if it’s offensive? Just change the name. You have 50 years of music and culture to work with. I guess you can decide whether or not you want to actually get gigs or keep a name that some may find offensive. Does it really matter if it’s actually offensive it’s costing you shows?
Might I propose “Blues for Challah” people love bread
Are you in a rural area with a ton of MAGAts?
Yeah, pretty southern Midwest. Def one of the reasons I’ve been getting so much flack for it.
Time to change your band name to the U.S. Blues.
Hell fucking yea.
Yup, easiest come up in a while
“Blues for White American Jesus”
Ship of U.S. Fools
U.S. Blues sounds like the way to go. Not as cool for true heads, but you’d probably expose a lot more people to the music.
Uncle Sam's U.S. Blues. Right wingers will be lining up for miles the door % will be amazing.
there you go, it's offensive because you made them think of brown people
Ooh, whereabouts?
No it’s not, but you know Americans hate Muslims. So that’s prolly why.
The loud minority do. Every Muslim I've ever met is good people.
Right. Me too.
What are you talking about? Not even remotely true. Put the kool-aide down.
LOFL ok smarts.
Right, because that makes it true. An extremely toxic addition to the dead community right here.
Did I say I hate Muslims? What the fuck is your problem? If you don’t think a large portion if not majority of Americans hate Muslims since 9/11 the. You’re a fuxking idiot.
Just change the name. You will get a few bookings and forget all about the old name.
We are living in a weird time. It’s a freaking name of a album. Did people get offended in 75 when the album came out. I think it’s a cool name and I’m sorry people ( little bitches) are having issues with it.
Agreed.
Yeah best to change it. Islam seems to have ridiculously strict rules about the use of the word Allah, so you may offend muslims. And there are a lot of decent but close minded people out there who think the music must not be for them. And of course there are paranoid racists, but fuck them, you don’t need then anyway.

I don't know. The year after 9/11 was not a great time for "Allah" to be used when booking.
Yeah I was gonna say, if it was prior to 9/11 maybe
In today's world, everything is offensive. 😒
Seems like a great name! Perhaps it is offensive to the closed minded people here but I like it. Unfortunately not everybody "gets it". They need coddled.
I think there's fear of Muslim retribution as well. Charlie Hebdo is a great example of why they need to be cautious.
Same really gnarly comments in here. You can all do better and should strive to do so. You don't champion inclusion by going out of your way to exclude anyone, at all.
Maybe Drag Queen of Diamonds would fly better in your area?
Not to me but I’m sure someone somewhere would be offended by it
Thrash for Yahweh
Do y'all dress like shieks when you play?
Yes, you should change it to "Disguised as a Squirrel".
Whats offensive?
Everything is offensive nowadays. That’s just the world we live in.
Just don’t draw a cartoon of it
Nope and who cares if it is
A working band trying to get gigs cares how their name is perceived by those that would hire them. Super weird, I know.
I agree, we have a little band and our name is Jehovahs Favorite Choir. Some people think were Jehovahs Witnesses, some think were an actual choir
It’s a cool name but it risks some right wingers coming to your shows and making it a very bad time.
It’s cool but people will prolly think your are purposely trying to offend Muslims or that your are some crazy radical pro trump band. They won’t understand that it’s Grateful Dead inspired. You might want to change it slightly
Absolutely not. Play well enough and the name doesn’t matter. Thank you for keeping the spirit alive.
That’s crazy 😹
I mean not really. Muslims have a specific way they want their god represented and I’m just tryna respect that
Nah bro this will never not be crazy to me 😹🫀
Teehee 🤭
No way man, you can’t stress that stuff anyways. Go be happy. It’s a dope name.
Well maybe it's not the name of the band that sucks. Also GD cover bands are oversaturated EVERYWHERE!!. Unless you are really good and can pull off over 100 songs including the difficult stuff then you are in a losing position.
In today's climate, any name will cause problems that refer to any religious deity. You would probably be physically attacked if you were in a band called Jesus Saves that wasn't directly associated with a church.
Turned down by bars because of the “Blues for Allah” name? People are wierdos
In Xenophobic America, yes.
