History TheOtherDarrin / Music

* UK band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich have had to replace three of their number over the years, but always used the same StageName for each musician, even if, in Mick's case, the replacement isn't named Michael in real life. Rhythm guitarist John "Beaky" Dymond was replaced by Paul "Beaky" Bennett, and he was later replaced by Anthony Stephen "Beaky" Carpenter. Similarly, drummer Michael "Mick" Wilson was replaced by John "Mick" Hatchman.

* In the Eurobeat genre, several different singers may use a certain artist name over time. One example is Clara Moroni, who goes by many aliases like Cherry, Leslie Parrish, and Vanessa. When Moroni moved from the Time music label to Delta, another vocalist at Time took up the Vanessa name, although she still uses her other aliases.

* The character of Music/CaptainJack was originally performed by a guy who apparently went by the stage name Sharky. He decided to retire after their first hit, and was replaced by the iconic Franky Gee, who stayed until his death ten years later. The group eventually decided to continue with another frontman, Bruce Lacy who plays the character to this day. (They also have a female singer who [[RevolvingDoorBand changed much more often]] but doesn't portray a specific character.)

* At least three musicians have performed with Music/CradleOfFilth as Jared Demeter, including Bryan Hipp, Paul [=McGlone=], and the fittingly named (for this trope) Darren Donnarumma.

* "Love Is Where You Are" is performed by Diana Krall in the movie ''At First Sight''. While she does appear on the soundtrack album, she performs "Easy Come Easy Go" - "Love Is Where You Are" is sung by Gigi Worth to the same musical backing used by Krall.

* Music/TheBeatles' version of "Love Me Do" that is heard on the ''Past Masters'' CD has Ringo Starr as its drummer. The version that got released as a single outside of the UK and Canada, and on the ''Please Please Me'' album in 1963, has Andy White in the beat seat (this version is identifiable by a tambourine played by Ringo), and the ''Anthology'' version features original drummer Pete Best.

* The members of the VillagePeople changed several times, although the personas (Cowboy, Cop, Indian, Biker, Soldier, Construction Worker) remained the same.

* {{KISS}} provides an odd example: though they still are referred to by their proper names, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer have taken the makeup designs of their predecessors Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. This wouldn't be an issue, but for the fact that in the past, Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent received their own unique makeup designs.

* Though there were guitarists between them, [[Music/BlackLabelSociety Zakk Wylde]] appeared to be this for Randy Rhoads when he started playing with [[OzzyOsbourne Ozzy]]: both having long blonde hair, white Les Pauls, and great technical prowess. Wylde's distinct Bullseye guitar design came about as an attempt to visually distinguish himself from Rhoads.
