    Lord Buckethead (briefly) went on Last Week Tonight.

    I feel like Count Binface should stop trying to dodge the international press and do so himself.

      Lord Buckethead and Count Binface are one and the same person, the actor had to stop using “Lord Buckethead” for IP reasons.

          In an interview, Harvey said it was Buckethead in SpaceBalls, the film, that was the issue

              According to today’s Guardian, we’re both wrong and it’s Gremloids

                Gremloids is the British name of Hyperspace

        Probably because Buckethead is an excellent guitarist and knew his name would provide an unfair advantage.

        They’re different people now. Indeed, Buckethead and Binface ran against each other in 2019 in Uxbridge.

        They weren’t, then they were, then they weren’t again.
