Trivia Quiz: Rock stars real names.....

[pat]

I had this idea after xiphias suggested I ask a TQOTD about which rock star was originally named David Jones but changed it so that he would not be confused with the Monkee of the same name. Rather than asking that, I'd thought I'd give you a list of real names and rock names, and you could pair them up.

Rock names:

Marilyn Manson
David Crosby
Bono
Flea
David Bowie
Axl Rose
Gene Simmons
Sting


Real names:

Brian Warner
David Jones
Gordon Sumner
William Bailey
Chaim Witz
Paul David Hewson
Michael Balzary

You'll notice there is one more rock name than real name... that's because one of the rock stars recorded under his real name.... which one?



David Bowie ....... David Jones
Sting.............. Gordon Sumner
Axl Rose .......... William Bailey
Gene Simmons....... Chaim Witz
Bono............... Paul David Hewson
Flea............... Michael Balzary
Marilyn Manson .... Brian Warner

And David Crosby was, always, David Crosby.

I knew three of them.

I'm vastly amused by Gene Simmons' name for some reason.

I didn't know axl or flea. I suppose I could've guessed and made a decent shot at 100% but I'm feeling extra lazy today.

I knew the first two.
