Aging rock group wants .com equivalent of existing domain name.
English rock group The Moody Blues have asked a World Intellectual Property Forum panel to give it the domain name MoodyBlues.com.
The group’s official web site is MoodyBlues.co.uk. It has sold over 70 million albums worldwide since forming in the 1960s.
Some of the aging group’s more popular songs are Nights in White Satin and Ride my See-Saw.
MoodyBlues.com was registered way back in 1999, which makes you wonder ‘what the heck took these guys so long?’ They’ve been actively touring for the last several years.
MoodyBlues.com currently doesn’t resolve. TheMoodyBlues.com forwards to a celebrities web site.

@Andrew
LOL “Aging rock group”? Reminds of that part in the movie Spinal Tap where the band got upset when a radio DJ described them the same way ๐
Kevin Davis says
@David They are in the where are they at files. Spinal Tap is a movie that hits home with every musician.It would be funny if someone did a domain doc Tap style.I always hated the Moody Blues anyway except for Nights in White Satin and that gets on my nerves too.K
Andrew Allemann says
@ David –
Well, they all have gray hair now ๐
I need to go see This is Spinal Tap again…been a long time.
Meyer says
I don’t know why you didn’t wait til
Tuesday afternoon to announce this?
You ‘question’ what took so long?
They figured they were just singers
in a rock & roll band.
Nothing changes !!!

Meyer says
“Well, they all have gray hair now”

Andrew Allemann says
@ Meyer – and when that time comes, I’ll readily admit I’ve aged ๐

Justin Hayward still dyes his hair blond, and still sings, plays and looks great. Too bad their business savvy has never kept pace with their superior musicianship. I find it rather pathetic that they’re just NOW getting round to “fighting” for the perfect website name when they should have just bought it right away when the Internet was launched, or at least bought it from whoever bought it first. It would probably still be cheaper than paying barristers to “fight” for them. I love the Moody Blues but one of the members is notoriously cheap.
Alan says
Created 12 years ago? They should be refused
as in most countries there is such a thing as
statue of limitations.
Steve M says
Great music.
Guess MoodyBlues.com’s got them in a blue mood. ๐
Ken Stack says
The Moody Blues are my favorite group of all time! Number two is ELO and three is Queen. I guess you can tell by my prefs I have grey hair also :~D
Cameron Gordon says
Info wanted on the Moody Blues Group especially Justin Hayward.
Living in Calgary, Canada you never get to hear of the group nowdays. I was surprised to see that they had a 3 year break 1974-77 and that speaks highly of a group in this day and age.
Have been too long without their music around me,
