Over the decades, countless musicians have ditched the birth names bestowed upon them by their parents in favour of more striking and memorable stage names.
Some monikers are slight tweaks of their birth name (Jon Bon Jovi, John Paul Jones and Jimi Hendrix), whereas others have ditched them altogether in favour of something much more stage friendly (Alice Cooper, Slash, Freddie Mercury).
Including Slash, Stevie Nicks, Gene Simmons, Alex Lifeson and Freddie Mercury

I met Alice Cooper once, I was at work and was amongst a crowd of people and didn’t want to make a scene, so I said “By the way is your name Vincent Furnier?” He was very cool and I think that he was glad that I didn’t yell out “Hey! It’s Alice Cooper!”.

Eric Clapton real name is Eric Patrick Clapton. He was raised by his grandparents whose surname was Clapp. The similarity in surnames gave rise to the erroneous belief that Clapton's real surname is Clapp (Reginald Cecil Clapton was the name of Rose's first husband, Eric Clapton's maternal grandfather).

Pat Benatar is interesting in that she kept the name of her first husband after the divorce. Good call as it's a hard hitting name, and easier to pronounce that her maiden name, Andrzejewski. Just as she hit big she married her guitarist Neil Giraldo. They've been married 42 years,and counting. She doesn't tour as Pat Benatar. It's always Pat Benatar, and Neil Giraldo.

@geemac7267 11 дней назад

I can understand why some change their names, being hard to spell or pronounce, or kind of lame sounding. But I don't get why a backing musician like Bill Wyman can't remain Bill Perks or why Steven Adler can't be Michael Coletti. I mean, how often does anyone call them by name anyway? A front man understandably can't be some dorky name but who cares what a drummer's name is, really?

@mannydavis7708 День назад

Bill legally changed his name to Wyman in August 1964. He had some issues with his father. He won a placement to a grammar school but was forced to drop out before taking his GCE after his father found him a job & insisted he take it. It's not always about the biz. Although Wyman does sound a bit cooler than Bill Perks.
