Joe Elliott tried out for the band as a guitarist. During his audition, however, it was decided that he was better suited to be lead singer.
Soon afterward they adopted a name proposed by Elliott, "Deaf Leopard". At Kenning's suggestion, the spelling was slightly modified in order to make the name seem less like that of a punk band, and perhaps also as an indirect homage to Led Zeppelin.
Throughout history, an extraordinary number of famous and infamous people have acted under false names. Simply choose the real name of each person in the question.
Elliott Smith is a critically acclaimed singer/songwriter. His songs are heard in several movies and one of his songs was nominated for an Academy Award. Sadly, Elliott died on 10/21/03. Perhaps this quiz will expose new listeners to his music...
