As the hit TV show The Masked Singer only goes to prove, there\u2019s a real fascination in unveiling the mystery behind a performer whose face you can\u2019t see. Then there is also a good number who never want their real identities to be revealed. Maybe it\u2019s because they want to create an air of mystery around themselves. Perhaps they just don\u2019t want to be recognised when they\u2019re buying milk in the corner shop.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the reason, there are plenty of examples out there from the shocking like Slipknot to the comical like the bard of Timperley, Frank Sidebottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here are three top performers who\u2019d really rather you didn\u2019t discover exactly what they look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buckethead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It helps to make you memorable if your alter-ego also has a theme. Just ask any of\u00a0the villains in the world of Batman<\/a>\u00a0if you want to have proof of this fact. Whether it\u2019s the waddling Penguin, the deranged Joker or the ice-cool Mr Freeze, they all have a gimmick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buckethead is just the same, except his calling card is wearing a family bucket from everyone\u2019s favourite fried chicken takeaway on his head. He even goes a little further, adding a funeral procession bumper sticker to the bucket and white make-up on his face for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitarist Brian Caroll has also created a back story explaining the need to hide his face. But, unlike Batman\u2019s Two Face who was scarred by acid, Caroll claims to have been horribly mutilated by angry chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds to his weird appearance with crazy movements that also sometimes break into a robotic dance.<\/p>\n\n\n
