British guitarist reacts to Buckethead ignoring half of his brain! 

Cool!

DUDE you are such a lucky man! Bucket got me into playing guitar when I was a kid, his music is incredible

Exactly what I thought..that's why I must see him play before im gone from this world. I imagine that being in his presence is as pure and cleansing as when one holds a baby.lile an angel yet powerful. he radiates that even on screen. How wonderful for you to know him.

What’s he look like?

That's what I thought humble and shy. Then axle rose said all this crap about Buckethead watching porn inside a chicken wired chicken coop. It sounded ridiculas.

Good one

Can't take credit for this. It's the 'Ballad of Buckethead' by Primus & Buckethead. I'm sure you already know this.

😂👍

Onboard an old pirate ship made of wet souls We plunder and pillage from north to south poles We only steal metal like guns, tanks and toasters We melt it all down and we make rollercoasters!

U forgot, he plays the nunchucks too

👍☺

That's not healthy.

I had to drive to Denver, so I loaded something like 11 Buckethead albums and 1 best of play list. An hour into the drive, I noticed I only had the best of. Completely pissed.

👉👌

11 hourse? more like 6+ days!

👍

Should've painted it black

I couldn't see a guy like Buckethead being satisfied playing someone else's songs for very long.

Actually, Ozzy turned him down because he wouldn't "take the fucking bucket off." Oz man!

@Harry Abma Watch your mouth bitch, he paved the way for a lot of artists and metal gods.

Thanks David!

I think he was talking about Buckethead...😳

@@umaxen0048 Bucketman is 50 years old

He's very enthusiastic. You can tell he is excited by the artistry of most of what he reacts to

this old lady agrees.bucket transcend's uniting The Young and the old.

👍

I read alot of buckethead comments from alot of different places. Everyone who actually listens to the music has something positive to say about any number of certain aspects thhat there is to like about him. Ive herd the "he is the Mozart of our time" before, but your comment was my favorite opinion ive read. Perfect

300 albums! equal to an album a month for 25 years, that's a lot of creative juice. guy sure can play too- much respect.

sparty94 as a third of his album was released in 1 year, he basically put out more albums in that one year than most other artists put out in a lifetime.

😂👍

I find him so, so, very boring. I dont understand all the hype surrounding him. Hes just another show boating guitar player. Nothing to see here, moving on.

He needs to show some emotion, should watch some old Trower vids. ;-)

@@coyleigh2860 try Buckethead's 'Mom', 'watching boats with dad' or ' i really like my parent' . no showboating, just simple and emotional

i believe he has a mask on..........

Thanks!

After all this time, I finally checked out your music and really like it. Your songs have what a lot of the newer "big bands" are missing.

he played and recorded with Bootsy Collins so funk is not unusal for him :-)

His album with brain and Travis was sick. It's called dragons of eden

Been listening to the Bucket man for 3 years now and haven't stopped. Almost 90% of the music i listen to is Buckethead. It's the mere size of his library combined with the fact that i can re-listen to his stuff without ever getting tired of it. He's amazing!

Cool!

😂👍

The dude's probably thinkin what he's gonna eat for dinner while playing 128th notes

Soothsayer is emotional song. Not calm or like you know...

Literally thought of this yesterday! I remember reading he's like 6'6 and I thought "with the bucket he's gotta be 7 foot" then I see this video and your comment.

Since corona came into our live we all wear a mask 🤣

No no no...

Man, he is very smart guy... And actually wears a mask because he just doesnt want to ppl to watch him instead of listening to him while playing. He is a bit shy and had scene fear I suppose...

Thats kinda stupid to think that if you wear mask or something youre ultra shy, anti social or autistic... I am not against anyone but its kinda stupid to think like that. For me buckethead is true genius and awesome guy! And even if he has something it would be even nore amazing to me and I would support him anyways. So thats my opinion...

I've played in bands and I would of found a mask and a bucket helpful too, also somewhat neurodivergent so yeah its likely

👍

My favorite Buckethead album is Colma. So many good songs!

That's why I said check out Mrs Beasley :)

Yep. I would actually say most of his albums are slow, more chill

I'm wondering how he would sound plying in a band like metalica I'm thinking wiskey in a jar or nothing else matters etc. I like buckets talents, but I think he isn't focused, he has been running wild with those fingers, rein him in and showcase bits. Same thing happened with Steve vai, after David lee Roth split, both at that time premiere bassist Billy Sheenan and premiere guitarist Steve Vai cut loose. Steve went on to cut some pretty wild and insane tracks, but that's all they were. Bring these guys back into bands that are mainstream. Perhaps this is what is wrong with guitar sales and rock, metal etc today, the playing seems unobtainable so why bother trying. We all know it's not true. Just recently I've had two incidents where my left hand has been cut across the palm resulting in loss of mobility, numbness and finger confusion. The second a table saw incident just a week ago. Sawed right up the middle of my first finger, I'm not sure if it's going to move. This hasn't stopped me. I've switched over to flamenco rhumba for learning new techniques. Why? I don't want to stop playing, I sound different like glen Campbell's gentle on my mind, ghost riders in the sky, patsy clines crazy all sound different way different and in some respects better. Now with the pointer messed up. I take my cast off every night and just see how to adjust chords to still play. Yes it's a setback, but with flamenco, my fingers have the flexibility of still hitting some chord structures. For now. Each day I hear a difference. So.... Moral is, keep learning, keep playing, don't be scared to reel in the shredding. Keep people begging for more.

He does!

No problem!

Whitewash is good too.

Joe Hauser checked it..yeah

Nottingham

Aunt Suzie is my fav

Thanks Stuart!

Amen!

Same-same Patricia. As the Codpieced Maestro from Jethro Tull is want to warble. You're never too old to Rock'n'Roll, if you're too young to die. As for Buckethead? Well, some Artists have that wonderful gift where they just effortlessly transcend any genre that others will try and pidgeonhole them into to and Buckethead is surely one of them.

Sure is so much music to listen to. Too much, and not enough time...

Patricia Houck Buckethead is in his 50's.!🎼✨🙏🏼✨🎼🇨🇦It is not unusual 4 a 60 year old having impeccable taste in music !Checkout Nicolo Pagini ;18 century 24 Caprices solo violin !😳😲😮😎🎼✨🙏🏼✨🎼🇨🇦

Thanks! 😂

Yeah!

Thanks!

It was actually massive stage fright.

BJ12578 yea, he said it allowed him to be himself. He seems to have some bad social anxiety and is kind of awkward. I have a theory that he is autistic and that contributes to his playing so well, it almost seems like it but of course, I don't know know the guy so all I have to go off is that 2017 interview.

@@dickJohnsonpeter how the hell did you create your name like that???

@@TheGroundedCoffee you can google a list of all the ascii and Unicode characters then just copy paste.

Yeah!

Thanks!

@ Sean Wargo, True...also, "Death Cube K" is an anagram. If you rearrange the letters you get Buckethead.

@@sterlingprice5963 yea I know I've been a huge buckethead fan for we'll over a decade

A beast, like 666? Is the birthmark under the bucket?

Amen!

Long Live The Pikes!!!!!!!!!!

So buckethead is a vegan?

I think so, but I'm not positive, not much is known about him.

Most fast food is a ticket to a fast death ... eat this and get this (funeral).

No problem!

😂👍

Brian+ Lol, yeah I think he has to do that every once in a while for us mortals.

I can press a killswitch.

It's just the bits in between ☺

I'm 6'8", never thought of it that way. My heads in the clouds...

Umm.. I believe the Pikes CDs are sold thru his website for less than $10. No disc art, recording on blank store bought CD, white paper sleeve. It's all about the music. So you CAN and WILL hear Buckethead (the Pikes series) and anything else he desires to release through such channels. After his stint w GnR, I think he can probably afford his own record label. Doesn't ever seem to be about the $$. It's about the music.

Fred Braid Thanks for the heads up Fred. He plays the Bay Area every now and then, San Francisco. He's pretty much a cult following. I have friends that release on vinyl. So there are people that are making money. Yes music comes first, but when you walk to the mine, it's gold that you're after. That's why we go fishing. If there weren't fish we would stay home. I believe in love with out pussy. We rob banks for money. I think a lot of great musicians are jewel thieves at heart. Sure there are the gems and the settings, but there's pulling off the job, the art of the trade. Like surfing, standing at the light at the end of the blue barrel, where no one has ever stood, or will stand again. Having that magic moment. Catching that wave, and carving that curl. Take care and be well.

@@ericheine2414 @eric heine: I agree with most of what you said. I will not dispute that there is something that drives every musician, be it fame, money, p without love, the thrill of a moment, a time, place, and state of being that can never be duplicated, etc. My opinion? He is addicted to the thrill of the chase of those moments that cannot be duplicated. And to reaching some of them. I did not intend to imply that no profit is being made by BH on his recent music. Only that he seems content to quietly distribute his recent work to his fans seemingly w no middleman. If he was not content with cult status, he'd spend time and money promoting himself. Which as far as I know, he doesn't. .I don't think GnR was a publicity stunt. It may have gained him followers, but that was not the driving force. Turning down Ozzy (if that's a true story) was not for fame and fortune -- maybe a bit of a publicity feeler though. Creative folk that are truly driven to the absurdity of perfection are not very common. But he seems to summon an inexhaustible source of energy and drive that allow him, among other things, to share what he hears in his head. He has the time, the money, and the desire do so. I just don't think the money is the driving force. Peace Out

Fred Braid There's no argument. I was just offering reflective thought. Bruce Springsteen told me the reason he became musician was because he didn't want to be a painter. So often times why we do something is a constellation of influences and thoughts. Just having fun along the way.

Thanks ☺

Yeah I think his hands are just too big for standard!

Thanks!

That's one of my favorites as well.

G4MeWithN0X Did you say, “Reaction “?

phenomenal song

No problem! 🤘

🤘

👍

When did he say that??

@@Johnnysmithy24 in an interview. Voice o. You tube. Buckethead speaks.

Thanks!

White Wash is my favorite Bucket Head song

That is so obscure and cool. Recently Buckethead and Bootsy guested and produced two tracks for a japanese power trio called "asterism" and there's rumor of a guitar battle between Buckethead and the 15 year old japanese girl. Asterism....... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2m0F_7-dQAg.html

Yeah I noticed that! I'm a big lotr fan 😅

Viggo actually used some lines from tlor he had to say as well. And the lines were all in elvish to give that even crazier sound

@@Icepacalapse So I just looked up the Japanese band you mentioned...WOW. THANK YOU BRO

No problem!
