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.

celebrities sometimes use stage names...

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.

I see no reason why you shouldn't have both. It's fun to poop two animals at the same time.

i was wondering how long it would take before someone said that. sadly, i almost got through the entire thread

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:
