what axl called himself before

i've always kinda wondered if axl had another artist name besides axl. i know he's played in a few bands and he took his name from his band AXL, but at that time, did he use the name for himself, or did he call himself something else? or did he just use his regular name? i dunno, i've never read anything about it, because probably only those who know him and the people who knew him at the time know, so... still, would be cool to know.

Im pretty sure he used Bill Bailey up to the point when he came up with the WAR name.
didn't he get the Rose name from his real father?
I read an interview or something where the dude mentioned Axl used Bill Bailey in his early LA days.
but who knows, he might have tried a few names before that, doubt it though.

He also used to spell his name Axel before he realised he could drop the "e" to make an interesting anagram from his name

I don't know about the stagename.
I've read that the name he wanted for his real name first was not Axl. But it was too fancy to be accepted by the registrar. Maybe BS.

also, why did the people who posted that william bailey/rose was his birth name delete their posts? to make me seem like an asshole? or were you scared that people would see that you made a mistake not reading my post?

Well unless that is part my GNR history that I don't know, he changed his name legally before he got signed. I don't know of any other name that he went by other than his birth name. I am sure you know this, that he had a band called Axl, he decided how it should have been spelled. I imagine that is where he got the idea to change his name to that.
