strikes me as illogical. I would further argue
that by wearing a bucket on your head you're
going for the "weird, mysterious" identity to
sell records to kids into that kinda thing.

But Buckethead is a very talented musician, he's very underrated, obviously theres a good reason for this. Theres not much commercial appeal for a man who wears a bucket on his head.
Bucketheads reason for concealing his indentity is pretty much the same reason The Resident's concealed theres. So it would be about their music and not about their identity. Though it does create a mystique about them too.
Speaking of which. You remember that whole rumor about The Residents actually being The Beatles?
