Getting this out of the way:

"His name changed from Jerry Dorsey to Englbert Humperdink! I mean, I'd just like to be in the room when they were working that one through: "Zinglebert Bambledack! Yingeebert Dangleban! Zanglebert Dingleback! Winglebert Humptiback! Slut Bunwallah!" "What?" "All right, Kringlebert Fishtibuns! Steviebuns Buttrentrunden ..." "No, Jerry Dorsey! I like-" "No, we can't ... let's see, we have Zinglebert Bambledack, Dinglebert Wangledack, Slut Bunwallah, Klingibum Fistlbars, Dinglebert Zambeldack, uh ... Jerry Dorsey, Englerbert Humptiback, Zinglebert Bambledack, Engelbert Humperdinck, Dinglebert Wingledank ..." "No, no, go back one!"

You can't blame them for showmanship. No one wants to see a concert where the artists name is Reginald, Chadwick, or some other godawful name.

There is more to life than Kiss and Rush, or perhaps they felt that once the real name has been used on Family Guy, the secret was out.

The funny thing, if you look in the comments from TFA, every 5th person is like "What about Prince?" This coming regardless of the fact that other posters are making it clear that his name is in fact Prince Rogers Nelson, not unlike Madonna Ciccone.

amindtat: Paging kungfu jesus with a side of lime, paging kungfu jesus with a side of lime...

hurray a nother bucketthread... sorry I am late to the party. I feel that there is nothing wrong with an alter ego or a stage name. For someone like buckethead it is all part of the art. The writing style the theme, the backstory the fans that willingly retell the mythos, all of it makes buckethead. Yes he is a guitarist, but his art is so much more. He is a performer, an actor and a creator. if you get rid of the image and mythos he is just another amazing guitar player.

and lets not overlook the fact that he is currently not wearing the kfc bucket, but rather a plain white plastic bucket. So this blogger (hack) needs to get his facts straight and then stfu.

and now for the uneccessary buckethead pics:

/ok well the most amazing
// shut up he is
/// no you shut up
////sometimes it takes a thousnad notes to create a sound
//music to me may not be music to most
