History FanNickname / Music

* TedNugent: the Nuge.

* Anna Nalick's fans know her, and constantly refer to her, as [=AnNa=] (a contraction due to the fact that the second and third syllables of her name are the same). Interesting in that she originated the nickname herself, making this something of a case of MemeticMutation.

* BringMeTheHorizon often is called "Bring Me the Hairspray" by its large {{Hatedom}}

** With the Daft Punk album, the wordplay is entirely intentional from the start.

* Beyoncé is often referred to as Beysus by her fans because she's like well...Jesus to them.

** "Zep", for the band.

** "The Black Album" by {{Metallica}} is also selftiteled, [[strike:similar to]] just like the Beatles White Album.

* Akka-Dakka: Australian nickname for [[{{ACDC}} AC/DC]].

** Their guitarist's hair is also known as Godfrey

* Dick Dale is Called the Master of Surfguitar.

op Soul".

* The MAFIAA ('''M'''usic '''A'''nd '''F'''ilm '''I'''ndustry '''A'''ssociations of '''A'''merica) - "Affectionate" collective nickname for the RIAA and MPAA, which have many members in common and have much of their agendas in common. Used a lot on Slashdot.
** Similarly, the RIAA Spanish equivalent, the SGAE, had gotten the {{backronym}} "Siempre Ganamos Algunos Euros" (We Always Earn Some Euros). When La Frikipedia, one parodic wiki, was demanded by honor reason by the aftermentioned entity and forced to shut down just because people edited the article about the entity to show them in an allegedly unflattering way, another parodic wiki rescued the article and renamed it as "La Innombrable" (The One Who Must No Be Named), in a mock intent to avoid legal problems and also furthering the comparison between them and the villain of [[HarryPotter certain famous book series about wizard kids]].
* Fans of {{Owl City}} tend to refer to {{Lights}} as the female-Owl City, and vice-versa.
* The Area - while not a nickname for DavidBowie, per se, it is the fan name for a [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean certain bodily appendage]] of his that is best left unmentioned on this page.
** Taken to MemeticMutation levels regarding its appearance in ''{{Labyrinth}}''.
** It now has a religion, Areaology.
* ''Disco? Very!'' - ElectricLightOrchestra's album ''Discovery''. One listen to "Shine a Little Love" or "Last Train to London" should show you exactly how it got this name. May also be applied to the DaftPunk album of the same name, for similar reasons.
** With the Daft Punk album, the wordplay is entirely intentional from the start.
* The King - Not Jack Kirby, but ElvisPresley.
* Beyoncé is often referred to as Beysus by her fans because she's like well...Jesus to them.
* ''Silver'' - Starflyer 59's officially self-titled debut album, after its monochromatic silver cover (also in reference to their sophomore album, the also-monochromatic ''Gold''). This caught on with the band and the record label, and was used as the official title when the album was rereleased with bonus tracks.
* Related to TheBeatles:
** ''The White Album'' - almost universally used for the officially self-titled 1968 double album by TheBeatles.
*** This set a standard for various other self-titled albums with one-colored covers: Metallica's 1991 self-titled album is called ''The Black Album'' and Weezer's three self-titled albums are called ''The Blue Album'', ''The Green Album'' and ''The Red Album'' in respect to chronology.
** Paulie: affectionate nickname for Paul [=McCartney=]. It has been used in ''Film/AHardDaysNight'', but isn't official.
** Sir Paul: what the British media, and those following their lead, call Paul [=McCartney=]. When he was knighted, he accepted the title but made public that he didn't want to use it; MPL had other ideas.
** Johnny: affectionate nickname for John Lennon, usually reserved for Fanfic. At least as old as Elton John's "Empty Garden."
** Saint John, Martin Luther Lennon: names for PossessionSue versions of John.
** Paul in pain: a HurtComfortFic starring Paul [=McCartney=]. First used in a magazine review of ''Run Devil Run'' ("Paul in pain gets back to where he once belonged"); popularized by Ms. Moonlight on her Indica's Attic FanFic site when she used it to describe its contents. "X in pain" has been used for other Beatles as well.
** Geo, Hari: Fan nicknames for George Harrison.
** MDC: term for John Lennon's assassin, who is HeWhoMustNotBeNamed.
*** You mean Mark David Chapman?
** Macca: Fan nickname for Paul [=McCartney=].
** Not to mention the fan nicknames for the band itself, like the Fab Four and the Threetles (for their PuttingTheBandBackTogether incarnation in TheNineties).
* ''Smell the Glove'' - Actual title of Spinal Tap's real/fake album (with an all-black cover). Often used ironically to refer to {{Metallica}}'s self-titled fifth album, also with an all-black cover (either the last "good" or first "bad" Metallica album, depending on who you ask).
** ''The Black Album'' is also used to describe the same album in a less negative manner.
* "Cletus" - A derisive term used to describe backup dancer/rapper/actor Kevin Federline, in reference to the Slack-Jawed Yokel from ''TheSimpsons''. By extension, his ex-wife BritneySpears has jokingly become known as "Brandine" to some in the wake of her FreakOut after their divorce.
** "Fed-Ex" is another term for him.
** Don't forget "K-Fed".
* ''Led Zeppelin IV'' - much like the previous ''White Album'' example, near-universally used to refer to Led Zeppelin's symbolically titled fourth album.
** Also commonly known as ZOSO, after one of the aforementioned odd symbols.
*** Which is in itself ironic, because Page has repeatedly stated that ZOSO is not intended to be pronounced as a word.
** "The Object" for the black motif on the 'Presence' album artwork
** "Zep", for the band.
** Apparently there are nicknames for the rest of the members. Drummer John Bonham was affectionately known as "Bonzo," Jimmy Page is "Pagey", Robert Plant is "Percy" (I have ''no'' clue ''why''), and John Paul Jones is "Jonesy" (which is actually very handy when you have to differentiate him from the other member named John).
*** Their album 'Coda' has a drums-only track entitled "Bonzo's Montreux."

* Big Four of Thrash Metal: {{Metallica}}, {{Anthrax}}, {{Slayer}}, and {{Megadeth}}.
** "The Black Album" by {{Metallica}} is also selftiteled, [[strike:similar to]] just like the Beatles White Album.
* The Boss - Bruce Springsteen
* The Bards - BlindGuardian
* No-Talent Ass-Clown - MichaelBolton, thanks to a quote from an unfortunately named character from ''OfficeSpace''. When asked why he doesn't just go by "Mike", he responds with, "Why should I? ''He's'' the one who sucks!"
* John Deacon of {{Queen}} is often refered to as 'Deaky'.
** While "The Guv'nor" refers to Brian May (the appellation came ''before'' the song).
* The Artist, TAFKAP - {{Prince}}; during the period where he changed his stage name to an (intentionally unpronouncable) symbol because his old record label held the rights to "Prince", the media and fans eventually settled for referring to him as "[[TheTropeFormerlyKnownAsX The Artist Formerly Known As Prince]]".
* Akka-Dakka: Australian nickname for [[{{ACDC}} AC/DC]].
* Keef - Keith Richards, of TheRollingStones.
* Although only really known within the fan community, the heart-eyed dinosaur on the cover of Lemon Demon's "Dinosaurchestra" album is typically referred to as Goodsie, after a very strange dream had by one of the community members.
* Van Hagar - {{Van Halen}} after Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth.
* "Wacko Jacko" for MichaelJackson. Granted it's a mean tabloid name but who HASN'T called him that at some point?
** His famous dance move (where he glides smoothly across the floor backwards), was nicknamed the "moonwalk" by the media and not by Jackson himself, but when he made his 1988 anthology film ''{{Moonwalker}}'', Jackson did choose the name for the movie (all according to TheOtherWiki).
** "The Gloved One", after the trademark single white glove he wore during the 1980s.
** He was also called "The Thriller", especially back in the '80s. When he was part of the J5 he was some times called "Little Michael" by fans.
** "The King of Pop" is an odd case in that it was ''Jackson's handlers'' who pushed it into common usage rather than his fans or the press, supposedly creating the nickname because Jackson was jealous that ElvisPresley had the nickname "The King". Fox and [=MTV=] [[http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,316363,00.html had to agree to use the phrase]] if they wanted to air videos from ''Dangerous'' in 1991; rumors flew that the [=VJs=] on the latter had to use it whenever he was mentioned. While Jackson's fans and his publicity machine still use this one unironically, in his final years it was common for entertainment journalists to qualify it as "self-proclaimed King of Pop".
* JamesBrown, the "Godfather of Soul" and "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business."
* ArethaFranklin, the "Queen of Soul"
** Perhaps in reference to the above, Mary J. Blige has been called the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul".

* Anna Nalick's fans know her, and constantly refer to her, as [=AnNa=] (a contraction due to the fact that the second and third syllables of her name are the same.). Interesting in that she originated the nickname herself, making this something of a case of MemeticMutation.

* [[JustinBieber]] has tons of 'em. Notable ones include "Justin Beaver", "Justine Bieber", "Biebus", and "Jason Booby".

* "J-Lo" for ''JenniferLopez''. Initially resisted then embraced by the singer to the extent that she used it for a album title.[[{{Horrible/Music}} Which is not to say they don't deserve it.]]
