Stage name vs. Real Name?

Ozzy Osbourne = John Michael Osbourne (Black Sabbath)

Sting = Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner (The Police)

David Bowie = David Robert Jones

Syd Barret = Roger Keith Barrett (Pink Floyd)

Joe Strummer = John Graham Mellor (The Clash)

I like Ozzy, Sting, and Bowie and all more than they real names

And all THE RAMONES :P

Cheers!

Ashton Myra Mel Brooks Bob Dylan Love Harrison Miley Cyrus Joni Mitchel Brad Pitt Bruce Willis BQ: Isla Juniper

John Baldwin=John Paul Jones

I like his stage name *so* much better. John Paul Jones... it just flows really well.

Freddie's real name is really cool. And really fun to say.

Robert Allen Zimmerman = Bob Dylan

Saul Hudson = Slash

Daniel Edwin Carey = Danny Carey

Definitely Danny. Stage names are usually more catchy, but in the case of bands like Avenged Sevenfold they're just gay.

Michael David Cummings~ Spider One

I like Spider One better...

Robert Bartleh Cummings~ Rob Zombie

Easily Rob Zombie....

:)

Robert Allen Zimmerman = Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan has just got a better ring to it

Well, I ws going to do Iggy Pop, so, one I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is [and I saw this a while ago and thought it to be very funny!]:

Charles Michael Kitridge Thompson IV!!

i.e.,

Frank Black [Pixies]

I prefer Frank Black, the other one is far too grand!

Ringo Star=Richard Starkey

Yes I can see why he used Ringo Starr much better choice.

Flea = Michael Balzary (Flea owns, it's MUCH more catchy)

Sid Vicious = John Ritchie.
