he seems perfectly normal in that, i think the KFC bucket and how he acts when hes in that costume is completery different to his real life, i think he does the strange stuff to get noticed but on weekends or whatever he takes off the mask and gets laid and goes to partys.

lol yea he actually reminds me of Brian May. i guess thats one of the best things about being behind a mask like that is that u can be really famous except nobody notices.

Its an utter disgrace that people who have made a conscious decision not ever wanting to see Buckethead without the mask, get tricked into it by some mental midgets on this board.

Furthermore its against the wishes of BH and if my memory serves me correctly Sladdi's as well.

I could care less about welcoming people, really....

If this is the first thing they do: post pictures of Bh without the mask, I much rather see them take the first train back to where they came from anyhow. This has nothing to do with being NEW to this board, everybody knows Buckethead doesn't want people to see him without the mask.

Knowing this, you can figure out for yourself that most places on the net  (run by decent people), don't want this picture being posted. It's called empathy, being sensitive to what's important to others...

-PEACE-

i think he does the strange stuff to get noticed


Guess again...

"I had just seen Halloween IV", he recalls of a dark night in 1989, "and as soon
as it was over I went into a store across the street and said 'Do you have any
Michael Myers masks?' They had a white mask, which really wasn't like a
Michael Myers mask, but I liked it a lot. That night I was eating chicken out of
a bucket that my dad brought home. It wasn't a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket
either. It said "Deli Chicken" on the outside. I was eating it, and I put the mask
on and then the bucket on my head. I went to the mirror. I just said
'Buckethead. That's Buckethead right there.' It was just one of those things.
After that, I wanted to be that thing all the time."
 
The combination of Buckethead the friendly ax murderer with Buckethead the
guitar wizard and robotic stage performer was practically instantaneous. "I
thought it made sense with the way I play", he explains. "I play all this weird
stuff, but if I just look like me, it isn't going to work. But, if I'm like this weird
freak..." If anything, Buckethead feels that becoming Buckethead has allowed him to
express himself more freely than he would unmasked. "It
opened the door to endless possibilities", he concurs as fireworks erupt in the
Tomorrowland sky. "I can work anything into that character and make it totally
work: all the thing I love in my life, like Disney, Giant Robot, Texas Chainsaw.
Even though I'm wearing a mask and have a character, it's more real, more
about what I'm really like, because I'm too shy to let a lot of things out. Every
reason I became Buckethead and am Buckethead has to do with the way I live.
It's not because I thought it would be successful. I never use anything that isn't
part of what I really loved as a child or love right now."
