They were inspired by the guitarist 'Billy Tallent' in Michael Turner's novel Hard Core Logo. The inspirational medium for this band was Bruce McDonald's film adaptation. This led to fans mistaking Ben Kowalewicz as being called Billy Talent. :)

I'm sure you mean Where are Billy Talent from. They are a Canadian rock band who were originally called Pezz! but changed the name due to a lawsuit. As Pezz! they only did one album called Watoosh and as Billy Talent they have made 3, imaginatively titled Billy Talent I, Billy Talent II and Billy Talent III.

billy talent got his name of the Canadian novel "hardcore logo". because a guitarrist was named billy tallent they also named like that so they just erased an L and that's pretty much the story of their name.
yes, but the band said that it won't be called Billy talent 4 and that they'll name it something else. it would probably come out around the end of 2012. or sooner, or later. but around there [EDIT] Billy Talent released their 4th album on September 11 2012. It is called Dead Silence.
They changed the name because of a lawsuit with the sweet and dispenser manufacturers PEZ. ~:-)
It's possible that the movie "Jurassic Park" inspired the name.
