WHY BEE
GEES?
Maurice Gibb:
When we were about five or six we decided to call ourselves
The Rattlesnakes. Later on, after we moved to Australia, we
were singing at a racing event in Brisbane when we got
chatting to a DJ called Bill Gates and a racing driver named
Bill Goode. They came over to our house and there was my mum,
Mrs Barbara Gibb, the brothers Gibb and Barry Gibb, then Bill
Gates said there were so many Bee Gees in the room that that
was what we should call each other, and it stuck. (OK
