🤘 The Real Names of Famous Rock Stars | David Bowie, Slash, Jon Bon Jovi

- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2024
- 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

Cliff Richard - Harry Rodger Webb

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!”.
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.
Buckethead - Brian Carroll
Pat Benetar's birth name is Patricia Mae Andrzejewski. She had two husbands Benetar and Giraldo.
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 _____"
Francesco Castelluccio (Frankie Valli)
Flea is actually Australian, by the way. He was born and grew up in Melbourne.
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
Great to see Blackie Lawless and Nikki Sixx (Frank Carlton Ferrano) in this!
Tina turner is not Swiss. She lived her last days of retirement there.
Exactly👍
Might as well be swiss. Got hit in the face so much might as well change countries 😆
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.
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)
hyman😏
@@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.
Leon Russell, Claude Bridges
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
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.

Rick Springfield: Australian-American: 🇦🇺🇺🇲 Singer/Actor/Writer/Producer Born: 1949 Age: 74 Real Name: Richard Lewis Springthorpe.
So many Italians
I was gonna say so many jews
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.
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.
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.
Robert Zimmerman (Bob dylan) anda Axel Rose original lastname was Bailey
Axl
I think Bailey was the step father
Pink born Alecia Moore, Katy Perry born Katy Hudson, Lady Gaga born Stefanie Germanotta.
These are pop stars, this video is about rock musicians
Stevie Wonder was born StevIand Hardaway Judkins
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
Purely due to the fact she is one of my favourites. Gaynor Hopkins = Bonnie Tyler
Glenn Danzig - Glenn Allen Anzalone, Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein - Paul Caiafa, Jerry Only - Gerald Caiafa, Tom Araya - Tomás Enrique Araya Díaz, Marilyn Manson - Brian Hugh Warner
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 😕
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
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
Disappointed you don't have Peter Thomas Ratajczyk, or Peter Steele of Type O Negative.
90% of the names on this list fall under the who gives a damn category.
How about Elton John aka Reginald Kenneth Dwight
Pop star, not rock star.
You changed your name to Latrine...
Yeah. Used to be Shⁱthouse!
So many unfamous people I gave up when it hit me with the first commercial about half way through.
Rock music forever🎸
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.
The coolest stage name is Meat Loaf
I'm surprised that Rat Scabies isn't his real name. Just goes to show...
That would be so cool .
Kristy Mariana Wallace ( poison ivy - the cramps ) , Johnny rotten _John lydon
Gene Simmons tem o nome mais judeu do planeta
Pat Benatar's last name is only Giraldo because she's married to Neil Giraldo.
Never heard of most 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.
Duff McKagan - Michael Andrew McKagan
Izzy stradlin- Jeffrey Dean Isbell
Mick mars-Robert Alan Deal ❤
Well, for Alex Lifeson should be Aleksandar Živojinović (Александар Живојиновић). And "Lifeson" is litteral english translation of serbian Живојиновић.
Jimi Hendrix (James Marshall Hendrix)
Seems like most of the British Rockers just go by their nickname.
Real name is oftenly better
Might want to double-check Jimi Hendrix’s real name.
Gene Simons is actually Israeli as is his mother, he was taken to the USA as a child & is a dual national
Pat Benatar's birth name is Patricia Mae Andrzejewski. Benatar was her first husband's name. Giraldo is her current husband's name.
Johnny Allen Hendrix birth name.Real name James Marshall Hendrix changed legally by his dad
Bob Dylan was Robert Zimmerman.
I never knew Steven Tyler was my namesake.
Famous????? never heard of over half of them!!!!!!
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 !
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.
Wouldn't get nowhere with their real names.
damn, the guy at #6 had 9 names.
John Lennon ( JON ONO ).......
Leadbelly (Huddie Ledbetter) Bob Dylan (Robert Allan Zimmermerman)
No wonder Mr Dick changed his name to fish.
I would too !
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.
Benatar's birth name was andrzejewski
Should’ve said birth name, not real name. A few of these have legally changed their name so that is their real name now.
Jimmy Hendrix , your real name was James Marshall Hendrix
A lot of the British names are common British nicknames for anyone with a certain surname..
Is that so? Like which ones in particular?
Jimi Hendrix'z real name was James Marshall Hendrix.
Captain Beefheart=Don Van Vliet.
Cliff- Harry Webb
James Paul McCartney (Paul McCartney)
Lita Ford (Carmelita Rossana Ford)
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.
What about the Ramones ??
Never knew Chris Jericho was a rock star. I only know him as a pro wrestler.
He has a group named Fozzy.
With Rudy Sarzo’s epic real name, I would’ve went with Max Grande!
Bob Dylan = Robert Zimmerman
Bob Dylan : Robert Zimmerman
Joseph Pereira is Steve Perry not Joe perry. 🙄
Nothing for Marilyn Manson, Ringo Starr, Prince, or B.B. King in there
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. 🤣
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.
Forgot the RAMONES!!!???!!
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.
Uh, you say Tina Turner was Swiss?
What's with your order? How about a list of musicians who did not change their names?
Earl Slick was Frank Madeloni
Wilko Johnson =John Wilkinson
James Marshall Hendrix.
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.
A final de cuentas....los conocimos así tal cual así que.....el nombre real sale sobrando...😅... Saludos.
Might as well un-mask Hulkko as well, iif you list Fagerholm here.😊
Pretty sure Axl's last name is Bailey. Not Rose
Bailey was the step father.
Suomi mainittu! Torilla tavataan! (Finland is mentioned! Let's meet at the market place!) :-)
Musicians ?
This needs to be redone.
Falco. Austrian singer and musician. Real name: Johann Hölzel
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 !
