Watching QI tonight with Bill Baily as a panallist.
There was section where they were discussing the name 'Bill Bailly' and it transpired that Bill Bailly was also the 'real' name of Axl Rose...the front man of Guns n roses...
Try as I might I cannot confirm this. Can you help?....
TIA

Ahhh no wait, found this..........

Axl's mother remarried when he was a small child. She changed his name to William Bailey, using the last name of her new husband, L. Stephen Bailey, a man whom Rose has also stated physically abused him and his siblings.

remember that wikipedia can be inaccurate as it is written by members of the public as was highlighted on have i got news for you earlier that same evening!

That is very true, Mattk, which is why I gave an alternative source.

However, I suggest you run a little experiment. Create an entry in Wikie, and put a fault in there. See what happens.

They did exactly that on the Gadget Show, with several different entries.

Will Bill...sounds like a name for a Tarantino film
