Plenty of rock stars swap out their surnames for something easier to fit on a poster. It actually took the Demon of Screamin' a few tries before the Aerosmith frontman settled on the name that audiences have been shouting for over 50 years. What is Steven Tyler's birth name?
▼
Correct Answer: Steven Victor Tallarico
(Source)Steven Victor Tallarico sounds like someone who plays piano at your cousin's wedding, not the guy who screamed "Dream On" into a mic. It was shortened to Steven Tally when he joined his first band, and he considered Tyler Britt when he created Aerosmith. Lucky for us, his manager (heavily) suggested he use a different name, preferably one that didn't sound like a 22-year-old regional sales manager.
