[edit] Biography
The Deli Creeps formed in the late 1980s/early 1990s in Southern California, USA, but shortly after moved to San Francisco. In 1991 The Deli Creeps released their first demo tape, after which they gained a strong loyal following before splitting up. The band had reformed in 1996 where they had released a second demo tape. Shortly after they had all moved on once again before reforming for the third time.
Their first feature length LP was released in late 2005 titled, Dawn of the Deli Creeps. The album features the song Random Killing, which has many different versions to it (all featuring different lyrics), One version is on the Buckethead album Giant Robot, called "I Come In Peace", another is the Cornbugs song "The Power And The Gory" on the album Spot The Psycho (Although "Random Killing" was the first version written; "I Come in Peace" was the first version officially released). Also featured on the album is a song they had recorded for the film Flesh For The Beast which goes by the same title. Maximum Bob also features guest vocals on the Buckethead album Enter The Chicken.

- Many of Buckethead's songs originate from Deli Creeps material:
- Sometimes during live Deli Creep performances, Buckethead would play some of his own material.
- The song "Random Killing" became "I Come In Peace" and "Power & Gory" by Cornbugs.
- Buckethead plays a sample of the chorus riff from "Time" midway through the Acoustic Shards song "Box Elders".
- The song "Binge and Grab" was released without vocals on Buckethead's Giant Robot.
- The song "I'm Gonna Get Some" sounds similar to several Buckethead songs, including "Turbine" and "Jowls."
- He plays an instrumental version of the song "Boom Ch Ka" at live performances.
