Telleboy 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 For all you kiwis out there, read on msn last night that Shihad are ditchin the name Pacifier and going back to their old name for their release of the new album in Oct. Good move boys. Pacifier was just abit pussy for a rockin band. Shame they changed it in the first plce. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 They did the name change cause of 9/11 and the obvious word association with jihad. Mostly done for the US market. Pacifier was a shit name but I can understand why they were cautious. I used to go see these guys all the time when I was at Uni and they rocked big time. Link to post Share on other sites

Telleboy 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 I agree they needed to change the name for the US market, but yeah they could have done better than Pacifier. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The band didn't need to change their name for the US market. The US market needs to be educated, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites

Telleboy 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Correction from earlier, new album released in early 2005, so we have to wait a little, hope they look after the new album better than U2 did with theirs. Link to post Share on other sites
