What about that cat named Zoro? Did he actually wear a mask or just adopt the moniker?

Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt has to be on this list.

He doesn't always wear a mask when he plays. Doesn't that disqualify him?

 

[VintageDrummer]

I was doing some livestreams in 2021 with a mask on.

 

[Chalmers]

Zach Danziger in Wednesday night titans?

 

[bradpants]

Pretty sure you mean Brad Roberts for GWAR

Also Louis Cole in Clown Core should be here
