Line 30:
* [[Billy Talent]] contains no person named William Talent. They're named after a character from the Canadian ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]'' homage ''[[Hard Core Logo]]''.
* In one episode of the American ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]?'', Ryan Stiles referred to Kid Rock as a band. After Drew Carey pointed out that he's "[[I Am the Band|just one guy]]", they spent the rest of the episode joking about the mix-up.
** Other than that, this is surprisingly rare, perhaps because of how Kid Rock's first hit, "Bawitdaba", [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|opened]]...
** The band is actually the Twisted Brown Trucker band.
* Originally [[Alice Cooper]] was just the name of the band. After the band broke up, lead singer Vincent Furnier changed his name, thus averting this trope afterward.
Line 44:
** [[Aphex Twin|Aphex]] ''[[Aphex Twin|Twin]]'' is the of ''one'' man, Richard David James. However, according to [[The Other Wiki]], the "twin" refers to his twin brother who died at birth.
** Similarly, M-Project is not, in fact, two people, but is just another pseudonym for DJ Chucky, although in this case it's intentional.
* [[Steely Dan]] is not a person--it is the duo of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker ([[Demoted to Extra|and a bunch of guys]] [[I Am the Band|that were gone by the third album and replaced by studio musicians]]).

* Salt-N-Pepa consisted of Cheryl "Salt" James, Sandra "Pepa" Denton... and, um, Deidra "DJ Spinderella" Roper.
