| Do people actually bother to do any research before picking a band name? It's not like we are not one every single metal page on the internet. If anyone feels the desire, let these kiddies know there is already a band called Ultimatum: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ultimatum/258024173255EDIT: oops, fixed the link

| Thanks.
Yes, that was my daughter that commented. She was just letting them know in case they didn't know.
I'm hoping others will "let them know" as well.
Perhaps we could give them so good name suggestions. I don't think Led Zeppelin is being used any more. How about Black Sabbath. Ohhhhh, or KISS. I don't think Gene Simmons would mind. How about something a bit more modern like CREED. That's a good name.
Honestly, I don't get why some young bands just don't do a bit of research first. It's not like it's that hard with the internet. |

| Wow this is a comment left on that page. "I love how a band who have been around for 18 years have less fans than a band who haven't even had a gig yet. Nice going. " (refering to the thrash ultimatum) I hate mainstream mentality |

Well, considering we have only had a Fasebook page for a little over a week... |

| I noticed there's a lot of Ultimatums on the last.fm page. For bands created outside the US, is that just how it has to be? |

| Y'all are seriously trolling this band's Facebook page telling them that they aren't "real metal", they don't deserve to have as many fans as they do, etc.? Ridiculous. Let them use the name. Maybe the name means something to them, just as it means something to the Ultimatum y'all are accustomed to. In any case, short of trying to sue them there isn't much y'all can do to stop them. All that the trolling will accomplish is giving thrash Ultimatum bad publicity. Multiple bands having the same name is very common in metal. If you've ever searched for bands on Encyclopaedia Metallum, you should know this. Did you know that there is more than one Slayer, several bands called Suffocation, and even another Slipknot? Yeah. It's not a big deal. |

I've seen all the Suffocations on there before. Did you ever look at them though? The ones that didn't break up all changed their name. |

| As long as you've copyrighted the name, there should be no problems. I wouldn't think people will be confusing your band with this one, particularly if they haven't played live nor released anything yet. We know who you are -that's the important thing! |

| From what I've seen, everyones posts aren't anything to be ashamed of. They are just letting them know the information. I didn't see anyone say they "don't deserve fans" or say anything inappropriate. I appreciate you guys letting them know since I don't have a Facebook page.
Yes, there are several bands with the same name. Before the internet it was much harder to find out if a name was being used. Thus more than one Slayer, Overkill and even Vengeance. Now it's as easy as Google or Wickipedia. |

| I doubt y'all could actually file a lawsuit against this band, let alone win. And even if you could, is suing the **** out of a bunch of LITTLE KIDS over their band name really worth it? I doubt Jesus would do that. "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you." — Matthew 5:38-42 |

| We're not going to sue anybody. Sherri was representing us and just let them know how it is. We can drop this now. All I wanted was someone besides my daughter to let this band know that we existed. Thanks for your help. Now lets all do the happy dance. |

| Do I have to become a fan of theirs to comment? Boooooo! I wanted to troll, in the most polite of ways I promise, but imma not be a fan. I basically don't become a fan of anything on facebook. I have a bad perception of the FB fan system due to people always becoming fans of stuff like "Accidentlly walking into a sliding glass door, kicking your cat cuz it was so embarrasing, and then laughing at yourself and your cat, lololol." |

Yeah, I am not going to become a fan of them just to leave a comment they suck and are all of about what 15? Everyone in the Metal World who matters ( Both Secular and Christian ) knows who the Real Ultimatum Is!

| Imho, the more you go on about it, the more they will revel in the attention your giving them and they won't stop, it will become " lets do the us vs them thing".
Just leave it be... pretty sure they won't be huge at all. |
