I saw the other day that Snoop Dogg has changed his name, yet again.
Can you think of any other already well-established acts to so?
Start:
1) Jefferson Airplane > Jefferson Starship > Starship
2) John Cougar > John Cougar Mellencamp > John Mellencamp
3) Snoop Doggy Dogg > Snoop Dogg > Snoop Lion
More?

1. His Infernal Majesty > H.I.M
2. The Jailhouse Band > Apocalyptica
3. Most of the hard rock artists in the 70's and 80's
4. The Ramones musicians
5. Malcolm McLaren suffled the punk bands at will and changed their names a lot.
Almost all of the bands I listen to, the musicians have stage names but that doesn't count, right?
Regards

Remember the change needs to have been made after the performers have already become either nationally or internationally known.
Not during their bar or club gig days.

So changed his name to a symbol, released records on his own label and after contracts expired, changed his name back. Another one beats big corporation. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
