Upbringing: According to his website: "Buckethead was raised in a chicken coop by chickens. And possibly due to the unusual circumstances surrounding his upbringing, he is a very private person."
Theme Park: Buckethead claims to operate his own theme park, at least on the Internet (www.bucketheadland.com) and many of his songs sound like rides at the park.
Weapons Training: Buckethead is surprisingly proficient with nun chucks and often whips them out during his shows. And neither he, nor Napoleon Dynamite, seem to think that this seemingly out-of-place display of martial arts is by any means dorky.
Movie Career: In addition to collaborating with everyone under the sun - from Les Claypool to Bootsy Collins - Buckethead has contributed to film soundtracks including Mortal Kombat. Is that where he honed his nun chucking skills? Possibly.
Dancing skills: He prefers a robot style of pop-and-lock break-dance movements. Is he actually a robot? Research into this query has come back inconclusive. But if you ask us, only a robot could play the sort of sixteenth-note tapping that B-head lays down.
Guns N' Roses: Buckethead played in the 21st century edition of Guns N' Roses before eventually leaving the band in 2004. Rumors say that he left after playing a solo so wicked that it unbraided Axle Rose's cornrows. Rose could not be reached for comment.
