- Okay, let's start the video.
Born in Adelaide, Australia on December 18th, 1975,
Sia Kate Isobelle Furler,
better known by her stage name, which is simply Sia,
is a pop and acid jazz singer and songwriter.
Singing professionally since 1993,
Sia has released a number of hits,
hitting number one in August of 2016
with her song, "Cheap Thrills".
However, it may be her efforts to disguise herself
that make this Grammy nominated performer so interesting.
Sia hides her face either with a wig or prop,
or simply by facing away from crowds and cameras
in an effort to not be recognizable anymore.
The singer has claimed that she hates fame
and even released an article called
My Anti-Fame Manifesto via Billboard Magazine.
Specifically, she tries to avoid people
critiquing her looks before her art,
though I have to say, if you're going
to wear hair that big to cover your face,
how you look is definitely going to be talked about.
I don't have that problem.
My face is out there.
Whether it's in a commercial, on a TV show,
or at one of their awesome live productions,
when you see the Blue Man Group,
you just know that you're about to see
something interesting, funny, and unique.
The threesome of Chris Wink, Phil Stanton, and Matt Goldman
formed the group in Manhattan, New York in 1988
to say farewell to the 1980s and usher in a new decade
with random stunts and performances between then and 1991.
They only wore blue masks back then,
but today, the Blue Man Group paint
their entire heads a royal shade of blue.
And there's actually way more than three of them now, too,
as the group formed a theatrical company
and now have Blue Men all over the world.
Due to this, every member is told
to don the now famous blue paint,
as well as to never speak when in costume.
This way, no matter which group you're seeing,
you get the same experience
as if you would've seen the originals.
Before forming the hip hop duo the Insane Clown Posse,
friends Joseph "Violent J" Bruce
and Joseph "Shaggy 2 Dope" Utsler
were part of a gang Bruce created
called the Inner City Posse
in Delray, Detroit, Michigan in the late 1980s.
After serving some time in jail,
Bruce and the group moved on from gang life
to become professional wrestlers,
and then ultimately musicians.
Channeling their emotion-filled and negative
life experiences into horror-fueled lyrics,
the group changed their name while still keeping
the gang's initials to prove it wasn't defunct
and Insane Clown Posse was born.
After half their members left the group,
only Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope were left.
The pair still perform today,
with their faces painted to look like evil clowns.
This is due to the dark carnival purgatory theme
that ICP emulates,
as the pair claim that they're being judged
for their previous actions onstage, which is limbo.
If you don't like clowns, you're welcome for that part.

Founded in September of 1995,
the heavy metal band Slipknot has gone through
a great number of changes over the years,
including the replacing of nearly every member.
Of course, the identity of those members
aren't as important as most other metal bands,
seeing as everyone in the group wears similar outfits
while sporting some pretty intense
and often terrifying masks.
The costumes are all part of the band's goal of creating
engaging and chaotic live experiences for their many fans.
Like a handful of other masked groups,
Slipknot hides their identities not because they're shy,
but because they want their music
and amazing theatrical performances
to speak for themselves without celebrity playing a role,
in addition to the fact that being anonymous
makes it easier for them to perform.
They are truly taking on a role onstage,
so it's easier to leave their problems offstage,
well, offstage.
And I'll tell you, I saw these guys live.
Oh man, it's a good show.
Highly recommend it.
Little terrifying, though.
Born on January 5th, 1981 in Niagara Falls, Ontario,
Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known by the music industry
and his fans as Deadmau5, seems to have no problem
with people seeing his face and knowing his real name,
unless he's onstage, that is.
The EDM and progressive house music producer
chooses to wear a giant cartoonish mouse head
while performing.
It's been reported that Zimmerman has quite a number
of these different heads in all different shapes and colors,
with many of them lighting up
or even flashing brightly to the beat of his music.
Now, he hates being labeled as a DJ,
so he wears the headpiece to show that he's different.
And you might already know this,
but the name Deadmau5 comes from a very predictable place.
One day, Zimmerman found a dead mouse inside of his computer
and thus named his alter ego after it,
dropping the formal spelling to shorten it
so that it would fit as a chatroom username.
Just another way he stands out.
Lots of bands like to hide their identities
with cool costumes, makeup, or even flashy bangs
that are conveniently long,
but others, like the Gorillaz,
don't show any part of themselves at all.
When this group from Essex, England
came on the music scene back in 1998,
people quickly realized that they were a virtual band
with four cartoon characters standing in
for producers Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.
The characters Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, Russel Hobbs, and 2-D
are credited as the actual band behind the music,
a move which Hewlett and Albarn
say was a jab at MTV's content,
which they realized didn't have much substance.
To keep with the guise that the music
being released by the Gorillaz
is actually performed by the animated characters,
expensive holographic technology
and screens are used onstage,
with rappers and supporting artists pretending
that they're performing next to life sized cartoons.
So wait a minute, does this mean like, you know,
Jessica Rabbit could be like, a real thing one day?
Ooh, yes, Matt is happy.
On May 13th, 1969, Brian Carroll was born,
and if you believe his crazy backstory,
was confined to a chicken coop
where he was raised by poultry.
Of course, being chickens, they would scratch up poor Brian,
eventually removing most of his face.
But it didn't seem to bother him,
because he kept to himself watching drive in movies
through a gap in the coop's fence
and playing guitar to provide a soundtrack.
Seems like a totally reasonable reason to hide your face.
Later in life, Brian adopted the name Buckethead
mostly due to the fact that he always wore
a face-concealing blank mask and a bucket on his head.
The bucket itself is a KFC container,
which he wears with respect for what his feathered family
and friends go through on their way to people's plates.
With the wide range of styles he takes on,
Buckethead has played with dozens of band over 63 albums,
and all while wearing, you guessed it, the KFC bucket.
Is it the same bucket or does he replace it,
'cause that ish be nasty.
When the American metal band Gwar was created back in 1984,
their purpose was to make the band
that they were opening for, Death Piggy,
look better by having a more barbaric feel
to their performance while wearing grotesque costumes
and shooting fake blood and other oozes into the crowd.
Yeah, see, the thing is though,
the members of Gwar were the members of Death Piggy.
They were literally opening for themselves,
but in super weird costumes.
But soon, the band of concealed musicians
that called themselves the scum of the universe
surpassed their real life alter egos in popularity,
so Death Piggy, well, died, and Gwar became the headliner.
The universe works in mysterious ways.
Every member of the crazy metal band stays in character,
claiming that each come from a different planet
or background but were banished to earth
for crimes that they committed across the universe.
Yeah, let's not take these guys to our leaders.
They're weird.
The four original members of Kiss,
Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley
were influenced by bands like Alice Cooper
and the New York Dolls and decided to make
their own shows more theatrical and spectacular,
hoping to add more art to the music.
So, the group donned identity-concealing face makeup
and over the top costumes while leading the trend
of having large epic set pieces onstage.
Unlike some other musicians who hid themselves
because they were shy, Kiss hid their identities
as part of the overall rock experience.
A seemingly comic book based group of characters,
Simmons' Demon is a symbol of his dark humor and cynicism.
Criss' Catman is a representation of the nine lives
he must have had for surviving his upbringing.
Frehley's Spaceman is a manifestation
of his love of science fiction,
and Stanley's Starchild symbolizes
the wonder of being a starry-eyed lover.
Okay, that's all fine,
but how do you explain Gene Simmons' tongue?
He's a lizard man, it's disturbing.
In 1993, shortly after having a bad review by Dave Jennings
in the British music newspaper, Melody Maker,
calling their music a daft punky trash,
Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter
left their band Darlin' and began experimenting
with a more electronic sound.
Amused with the review, the pair named
their new duo group Daft Punk.
These two guys have hit number one on all kinds of charts,
with hits like "Around the World", "Stronger",
and "Get Lucky", just to name a few.
The thing is, it takes some hardcore Googling
to actually see their faces,
as every time these two perform,
they do so in large android looking helmets,
which completely hide their identities.
Dubbed "the robots", Bangalter and de Homem-Christo
claim to hide their identities
due to wanting to avoid the star system,
allowing their fans to focus on their music,
not their celebrity.
Huh, I guess they're human after all.
Thanks for watching this, guys.
