GibsonGirl Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Some of the names being listed are just the artists' full names, which are their real names to start with, not pseudonyms. What does it matter anyway? It's still interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alessandra Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 :o Is that to say that the Ramone's aren't all related like I had grown up believing? Well that comes as a bit of a shock. This is an interesting, I had no idea about Steven Tyler or half of KISS. I grew up believing in that too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jahfin Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Leon Russell = Russell Bridges Jerry Jeff Walker = Ronald Crosby Just a sidenote, Leon Wilkeson of Lynyrd Skynyrd's full name is Leon Russell Wilkeson. It's no coincidence Leon Wilkeson was also a huge Leon Russell fan. In another bit of trivia it was Leon Russell who coined the term" Swampers" in reference to the Muscle Shoals studio session players where both Leon and Skynyrd recorded.
