- 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

Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey)
@Eugenia-xv1nt him wife real name Mary Cox
He is the most obvious omission and the most famous musician using a stage name.
Cliff Richard - Harry Rodger Webb
David Essex - David Albert Cook
Prince - Prince Rogers Nelson
Cher - Cherilyn Sarkisian
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!”.
Pat Benetar's birth name is Patricia Mae Andrzejewski. She had two husbands Benetar and Giraldo.
Rest in Power, Lemmy. You and Motörhead were awesome in concert. Webster Theater, Hartford, March 15, 2005.
My grandmother who is 95 years old loves Motorhead, believe it or not. She thinks that Lemmy had a very special voice.
Purely due to the fact she is one of my favourites. Gaynor Hopkins = Bonnie Tyler
I like how some of the stage nanes are a play on their real names/or use part of theur real names whereas others are like " um yeah , my name is toooooo long or difficult to pronounce , so just call me _____"
Flea is actually Australian, by the way. He was born and grew up in Melbourne.
How about Jeffery Ross Hyman, Douglas Glenn Colvin, John William Cummings and Thomas Erdelyi? Better known as Joey, Didi, Johnny and Tommy Ramone. Or Sir Michael Phillip Jagger, Sir James Paul McCartney, Sir Richard Starkey (Ringo), and Sir Reginald Kenneth Dwight (Elton). Roberta Joan Anderson (Joni Mitchell) , Carol Joan Klein (Carole King), Dino Paul Corcetti (Dean Martin)

@@Neppy1414 Insert Beavis and Butthead
Cliff Richard.
@@jasoncromwell4206 You know the diffrence between a real name (Paul McCartney) and an artist name (Reginald Kenneth Dwight)? Everyone knows who Paul McCartney his, without his first name James. But not all people know immediatly who Reginald Kenneth Dwight is.
@@Noel-ji8nm Harry Rodger Webb.
Tina turner is not Swiss. She lived her last days of retirement there.
Exactly👍
Pink born Alecia Moore, Katy Perry born Katy Hudson, Lady Gaga born Stefanie Germanotta.
These are pop stars, this video is about rock musicians
Nice that you distinguish between drummers and musicians
It's better than Chris Jericho only being labeled a wrestler.
@@eldiablo7862 drums are like...musical instruments n stuff'eth.
So many unfamous people I gave up when it hit me with the first commercial about half way through.
I knew a couple in my hometown who were Alice Cooper's next door neighbors when he was a teenager in Glendale, Arizona.
Cool
Gee, thanks for sharing...
@@marshmallow3359 I enjoyed the information.
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).
just think if he had the clap after changed his name to clapton, then he'd have to do the whole process all over again
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.
42 years? They belong, they belong, they belong together.
@@TheTrumpReaper I see what you did there.
@@TheTrumpReaperTRUMP2024!❤
Robert Zimmerman (Bob dylan) anda Axel Rose original lastname was Bailey
Axl
You futzed up on two names. Pat Benatar was born Patricia Andrzejewski. Giraldo is her married name, not her birth name. Lou Reed's paternal name was Rabinowitz. His father changed the family name to Reed. How you arrived at the name Firbank is truly mind-boggling?
yeah, he's a Benatard for doing that.
I can see why Rudy Sarzo changed his name to many names for one person😅
Having 2, 3 or more middle names is common with Mexicans, Cubans, Italians, etc!
@@spaceace1006
And French people.
yeah, just think if he was also a jr . oof
Never heard of the majority of them !
I think you dont like rock and metal.
I think I don't like American rock amd metal 😕
I don’t believe that photo is Jimmy Hendrix. am I crazy er whut!?
It looks like Carlos to me!
didn't alice legally change his name to "alice cooper." or at least "Alice furnier" so technically his real name is Alice, at least it is now
Great to see Blackie Lawless and Nikki Sixx (Frank Carlton Ferrano) in this!
Jimi hendrix. Real name was James Marshall Hendrix
He was born Johnny Allen Hendrix but his name got changed to James Marshall when he was a child
@@kylebentley7512
People just don’t know how to google. Johnny is correctly his given name at birth. People always want to incorrectly correct it and say it’s James.
@@kylebentley7512 Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song.
Thank you!
@BlackHatCinephile love me do I think it was
Marc Bolan was a songwriter. Who the hell left that out.
Robert Trujillo : Roberto Agustín Miguel Santiago Samuel Perez de la Santa Concepción Trujillo Veracruz Batista (american bassist)
all the members of the Ramones use a stage name (and don't tell me you don't know the Ramones because here, it's considered as a blasphemy to don't know them)
Joey Ramone : Jeffrey Ross Hyman
Dee Dee Ramone : Douglas Glenn Colvin
Johnny Ramone : John William Cummings
Tonny Ramone : Tamás Erdélyi
CJ Ramone : Christopher Joseph Ward
Marky Ramone : Marc Bell
Richie Ramone : Richard Reinhardt
Elvis Ramone : Clem Burke
Stevie Wonder was born StevIand Hardaway Judkins
This needs to be redone.
Pat Benatar is listed under her married name. Her maiden name is Polish.I don't feel like googling it.
Was just getting ready to ask
Pat Benatar came from a man she was once married to with the last name Benatar
Andrzejewski.
I'm surprised that Rat Scabies isn't his real name. Just goes to show...
That would be so cool .
How about Elton John aka Reginald Kenneth Dwight
Pop star, not rock star.
Buckethead - Brian Carroll
Disappointed you don't have Peter Thomas Ratajczyk, or Peter Steele of Type O Negative.
You changed your name to Latrine...
Yeah. Used to be Shⁱthouse!
Synyster Gates' real name is Brian Hayner Jr. He's the guitarist for A7X.
Rob zombie and spider one are brothers who grew up in Haverhill, MA. Can't remember their given last name but IIRC Spider One's first name is Michael.
Went and Googled it; their last name is Cummings.
A few I didn't know their original name, wow.
Gene Simmons ‘Klein witz’ means ‘little joke’ in German (‘kleiner Witz’) 😂😂
And Gene doese come up with his joking antics too lol
Maybe he is over compensating all his life because of it
The coolest stage name is Meat Loaf
Pat Benatar's last name is only Giraldo because she's married to Neil Giraldo.
Leon Russell, Claude Bridges
Pretty sure Axl's last name is Bailey. Not Rose
Johnny Allen Hendrix birth name.Real name James Marshall Hendrix changed legally by his dad
Francesco Castelluccio (Frankie Valli)
Pat Benatar's birth name is Patricia Mae Andrzejewski. Benatar was her first husband's name. Giraldo is her current husband's name.
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?
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.
What about the Ramones ??
You named the bands they were with only for a couple. Would like to see all of them with bands associated with their stage names.
See my post !
What's with your order? How about a list of musicians who did not change their names?
Bowies name was David Robert jones
Gene Simmons tem o nome mais judeu do planeta
Never heard of most of them
Seems like most of the British Rockers just go by their nickname.
Gene Simons is actually Israeli as is his mother, he was taken to the USA as a child & is a dual national
90% of the names on this list fall under the who gives a damn category.
Why the hell would you change your name? Folks are there for the music.
Real name is oftenly better
Duff McKagan - Michael Andrew McKagan
Izzy stradlin- Jeffrey Dean Isbell
Mick mars-Robert Alan Deal ❤
Uh, you say Tina Turner was Swiss?
Axl's real last name is Bailey, not Rose
Until he was 18, his last name was Bailey, which is his stepfather's last name, and his father's last name was Rose, so Axl officially changed his last name to Rose, so now Rose is his real last name
@@NamikSokolovic3778 Its a joke: Axl Rose is an anagram.
Kristy Mariana Wallace ( poison ivy - the cramps ) , Johnny rotten _John lydon
Famous????? never heard of over half of them!!!!!!
Obvio que te faltaron muchos, Ringo Star por mencionar a mi favorito.
Muchos solamente usaron un apodo como nombre de pila pero no alteraron el apellido. Por ejemplo, Ozzy lo dejó así porque de ese modo lo llamaban desde que estuvo en la escuela. Otros se inventaron una identidad completa.
Interesting list. But you have a significant portion here, who are neither "famous" nor "rock"........But that's okay. The R&R HOF has dozens now enshrined who are totally unqualified. 🤣
Bon Scott, you have as Australian. He was born in Scotland.
He was more Australian than Scottish regardless
@Rob-uu1ic was born and raised in Scotland.
Bon could even play the bagpipes! He's way Scottish!
They did have dual flags for multiple artists. He easily should’ve had 2.
Jimi Hendrix'z real name was James Marshall Hendrix.
Joseph Pereira is Steve Perry not Joe perry. 🙄
2 Members of KISS who didn't change their names..Bruce Kulick and Thomas C. "Tommy" Thayer.
Eric Singer shortened his last name from Mensinger.
Ace kept his last name too. The only thing he changed was his first name which was a nickname and they already had a Paul in the band.
Bob Dylan was Robert Zimmerman.
damn, the guy at #6 had 9 names.
A lot of the British names are common British nicknames for anyone with a certain surname..
Is that so? Like which ones in particular?
I never knew Steven Tyler was my namesake.
Musicians ?
Notice a pattern there of a lot of American musicians with Spanish or Italian last names adopting more Anglo stage names, but then several British musicians who adopted more Spanish/Italian stage names.
Many Jews, Italians and Hispanics in business and entertainment took on English names in the past century, mainly to “ fit in” and avoid hassles… which is not the case with Brits taking on non English names.
Might as well un-mask Hulkko as well, iif you list Fagerholm here.😊
Wouldn't get nowhere with their real names.
With Rudy Sarzo’s epic real name, I would’ve went with Max Grande!
Should’ve said birth name, not real name. A few of these have legally changed their name so that is their real name now.
You left out Flea. His real name is Michael Peter Balzary.
Where’s Jimmy the REV in A7X?
Benatar's birth name was andrzejewski
James Paul McCartney (Paul McCartney)
Leadbelly (Huddie Ledbetter) Bob Dylan (Robert Allan Zimmermerman)
No wonder Mr Dick changed his name to fish.
I would too !
Jimmy Hendrix , your real name was James Marshall Hendrix
Was it a requirement to change your name if you wanted to join KISS?
Edit: After a quick Google search, it appears Bruce Kulick and Tommy Thayer are the only members in KISS's history that didn't change their names for the public.
Earl Slick was Frank Madeloni
Sorry but you made a mistake. Vincent Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper in1975. So Alice Cooper is his real name. He was born Vincent Damon Furnier, but his real name is Alice Cooper.
Nothing for Marilyn Manson, Ringo Starr, Prince, or B.B. King in there
The RAMONES????? No ????
A final de cuentas....los conocimos así tal cual así que.....el nombre real sale sobrando...😅... Saludos.
Whatabout Johnny Rotten?
John Lydon
Jonathan Rotten
That's his real name
Bob Dylan = Robert Zimmerman
Never knew Chris Jericho was a rock star. I only know him as a pro wrestler.
He has a group named Fozzy.
why do the brits have a templars cross instead of the union jack???
The Union Jack is the flag of Great Britain. The red cross on the white field is the flag of England.
@@Soxruleyanksdrool hey thanks for that,really honestly did not know that,I thought maybe the jack got canceled
Ringo Starr is Richard Starkey
View my Nickname! Freddy very name Is Farouk bulsara not farrock bulsara!
like how 4 of them were named for the bands, U2, queen but the rest it's like...go ahead and figure it out yourself
See my post for an update !
