Do you have a stage name?

Heartthrob

What can I say, I love all women :)
seems legit. btw, your profile pick in 11 out of 10!

My band sings songs like, “Capt’n Cunninglingus”, “I like my women bi-curious”, “do you remember when one-finger felt good?” and “all I want to be is a porn-star”.

So, Yes!

I don’t use my real name.
I wouldn't either, if you follow the funny band names thread, there is one that is suggested "Secret Cervix", i would use a real name in that one either.

Icepick (I came to practice once and jammed an icepick i found on the way into my carpeted Acoustic head)
Stick/Big Stick (The drummer had my same first name, it was his band, he named me Big Stick because of the 2-octave bass neck. Later shortened to Stick
Yay C (Variation of my initials)
Tommy 2-string (see avatar)
Tommy King, King of the 2-string (see above)

Edit: those names were given to me. *I* don't have a stage name.

If you have a stage name of any sort, or know someone who does post it. If you can, maybe include how you got that name.
I shall start. Although my name is Matt, i am called "Homeless Dave". I got the name during the SD State FFA convention, when a person whom i had never met before called me Homeless Dave because i had my ffa jacket in a bag (wasn't required to wear it in ag mechanics and the clothes i was wearing made me look homeless.


When I trip over some of our drummer's hardware, she calls me Stew Pedasso.

Not sure about the spelling on that though.

So my real name is Chris, and a guy I used to work with did this one-man electronica show and was considering having me join in. We joked that my stage name would be Xris Tha Bassman and it kind of stuck around as a joke. So funny thing...
...for a while I'd changed my Google name to Xris Tha Bassman so it would show that way on YouTube, as I was all about making some stupid videos. At some point during this period I joined Uber when my wife and I were going on vacation. Well, "Xris" did not stick around for long on YouTube, but for the life of me I can't change "Xris" on the Uber app. We use Uber eats a lot, so I all my food deliveries come addressed to "Xris", and some of the drivers call me "X-ris". This has been almost 5 years. FML.

I can't play...:(

I have one, but it references the band name, and that one is firmly on the 7 words list (number 6) so TB is going to change it to something like Melonfarmer or somesuch...
 
Mine is exceptionally boring! The band's first bassist's name began with D. My real name begins with D. The day they hired me, the band began calling me D2. And I've been D2 ever since. Not R2-D2. Just D2. After a couple years, I asked, since I definitely had more time in rank, if I could be promoted to D1. I was laughed off. D2 it is. Our #1 fan (Don comes to every gig) greets me at every one: DEEEEEE TWOOOOOOOO! Whatevah. :D
