A few things: I knew Gene Simmons real name. My father used to hang out with Gwar. Was even there for the viking funeral. Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara, but changed his name legally to Freddie Mercury.
When we were in school together he went by Bill Bailey. At Sunnyside Jr. High he was on the wrestling team and at Jeff H.S. he ran cross county. He lived near the Frozen Custard by Columbia Park.
I recently watched a docu on Guns & Roses & it stated Axls real name was William Bailey. Not a Rose in sight. I hadnt heard of the bulk of these musicians except the Brit ones & King Diamond fr Denmark. Quite alot of Brits go to Scandinavian Rock & Metal concerts & festivals They have some radical sounds I think the Finnish, Danes, Swedish & Norwegian have the best & purest hard & extreme metal bands around. Its not just a wall of sound but Complex & very professional! Not keen on many metal bands from the US. Cheers 🇬🇧👧
No. Aside from Axl who actual choose that for a stage name, and Stephen who doesn't have a stage or nickname,... They all had nicknames given to them but other people growing up which stuck with them.
They are a few more Katy Perry - Katy Hudson, Lady Gaga -Stefanie Germanotta, Pink - Alicia Moore, Tina Turner - Anna Bullock, Elton John - Reginald Dwight, Joe Cocker - John Cocker, Bruno Mars - Peter Hernandez.
A long time ago I read an article where it cited Gene Simmons real name as Iktar Kiam. Yrs later in one of the Family Jewels episodes Gene's mom called him " iktar"
Well, that very first musicians face shown in this video (playing a fender strat) is of Sean Eckles from Andy Brasco and the U.N. I wonder if he's in this video or if the creator just searched "guy rocking out on guitar"...

The irony is. Although The Edge (real name David Howell Evans) is referred to as Irish, he was born in London to Welsh parents and is as Irish as Saint Patrick ( real name, Maewyn Succat) who was also Welsh by the way, who spoke old Welsh as his first language besides educated in Latin which was the written language of the Welsh celtic church, oldest in Britain & Ireland.
Wow Amy Lee's real name is Amy Lee...incredible.
That one was a real stretch wasn't it. I wonder how she came up with an alias like that.

David Bowie changed his name so not to get confused with Monkees Davey Jones
He picked "Bowie" because of the type of knife, though he had no idea the knife was pronounced "booey".

Keepin’ it real, yo…. if ever there was a rock star who’d have benefited from dying young, it would be William Bruce Rose Jr.
Axl's name is actually William Bailey and Slash's name is spelled Sal.
