Lord Buckethead and Count Binface are one and the same person, the actor had to stop using "Lord Buckethead" for IP reasons.
Prog metal guitarist, for anyone wondering.
In an interview, Harvey said it was Buckethead in SpaceBalls, the film, that was the issue

Hyperspace, not space balls
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.
