Hello, I'm an expert in music history and trivia. Let's dive into the origin of the band name "Twenty One Pilots."

The name "Twenty One Pilots" is quite unique and has an interesting story behind it. The band consists of two members, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. The name was inspired by the Arthur Miller play "All My Sons," in which a character is described as being a "pilot" in the sense of guiding others through difficult times. The number "twenty one" was chosen because it was the total number of letters in the phrase "twenty one pilots" that they felt would be a good fit for their band name. It's a creative and symbolic way to represent the duo's mission to navigate and lead their audience through the complexities of life.
