    That reminds me of when I went to see Gallagher Too. My mom thought she had bought tickets to see Gallagher, but it was in a tiny comedy club in New Jersey. The guy did Gallagher’s act, and we had fun, and we bought shirts he signed after the show. “Ron Gallagher” was his signature.

    We later learned it was Gallagher’s brother, who was later sued to stop the impersonation act.

    damn, that’s a long name

    radiohead 2 am i going to get sued or killed if i use this name

    reminds me of the album title

    When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king what he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight and he’ll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring there’s no body to batter when your mind is your might so when you go solo, you hold your own hand And remember that depth is the greatest of heights and if you know where you stand, then you know where to land and if you fall it won’t matter, cuz you’ll know that you’re right

    Would be hilarious to name a band Radiohead 2 and outsell actual Radiohead. I think I’ll do that.

    Radiohead likely has a trademark on Radiohead. This means you can’t have a name that would likely confuse consumers looking for music by Radiohead. You could start a bathroom installation company named Radiohead because people wouldn’t confuse bathroom installation and music (as an example). I personally think Radiohead and Radiohead 2 would be confusing, but we’d have to see what the courts would say. Most likely is, unless you have a ton of money for lawyers to pursue it the legal fees would do you in or you’d lose defending yourself. Even then, would you be willing to spend that much to be able to use Radiohead 2?
