Sometimes I am introduced as Deep Starlos, but usually I am just Carlos or Ross. The funniest take on this was when I played with a Zappa tribute band called "Capt. Hayhab and his Screaming Seamen"

 

[Fun Size Nick]

I don't but I've played for a surprising number of artists who use one. For all of them, it was because something about their real name gave them trouble professionally, usually to do with language differences - one because her surname sounds 'foreign' to English language speakers and is often hard for them to say/spell (very important if you want someone to look up your music on the internet!), one because his English language name sounds effeminate in the language of the European country in which he was performing, and one because her German surname, while easy to say/spell, sounds 'harsh' to English speakers.

 

[packhowitzer]

Blades. Given to me by a couple of bandmates. It's stuck for about 20 years now. I'm not crazy about it, but that's the thing about nicknames- the more you dislike em, the longer they tend to stick around.

 

[LYNCHMAN]

Mick Porno

 

[comatosedragon]

Just joined a new band and were nearly ready to play shows. I think I'll go with "Rusty Trombone".

 

[Bassdokes]

[Eric Swaim]

I have been called Big "E" for a lot of years. Probably because I am 6'5". However I have a habbit of introducing myself as "Bond",....."James Bond"

 

[kesslari]

Catfish, a name given me by a much loved bandmate.
Works for me. We bass players are bottom dwellers.
In my younger rock days I was (for a while) Johnny Van Go after a car collision (with me on my bike) cut off a piece of my ear.
