axl and slash
Hard rockers also have a habit of changing their names to fit the image. "Guns n' Roses" lead singer Axl Rose shed his small town image along with the name William Bailey. His bandmate Slash (Saul Hudson) traded in his name too.
william bailey!!! saul!!! bwaaaaahahahaha!

Saul!!
Everytime I hear that name i think of the Jerky Boys...isn't Saul the guy who lit of firecracker off in his hand?
Saul Rosenberg.....or something.....
oh well, it works for me....makes me laugh everytime
(from Conan O'Brien's Celebrity Secrets - Slash's Secrets)
"I got the name Slash because I used to work in a grocery store and I was in charge of reducing prices for really big sales."
"I once asked Axl why he left the 'E' off his name. He started crying and said he thought he'd spelled it right."
"The original name for Guns 'n Roses was Roses 'n Guns, but that just sounded stupid."
"Someone once asked me what I liked better-kittens or puppies. And I said "'It's a tie man.' They said- 'Too close to call?' I said, 'No, man, too cute to call.'"
"My original nickname was 'Splash' because I loved that movie so much."
"I guess you could say there are two Slashes. There's the crazy, rock-and-roll Slash, he's wild. And then there's the real Slash- he collects miniature soaps and treats his hookers real nice."
"An anagram of Axl Rose is oral sex. Why do I know? Because when I'm not playing music I love solving erotic jumbles."
"Originally, I wanted to call the band 'Guns 'n Robots.' I still believe that if we had just called ourselves 'Guns 'n Robots' we'd still be together."
oh and from The Jeff Goldblum Edition of Conan's Celebrity Secrets:
"After their recent appearance on the MTV Video Music Awards, Guns 'n Roses will be forced to change their name to 'Chubby McGoo and the guys who aren't Slash'."
