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
