I come here to listen to this every couple weeks or so, get super inspired to play, go grab my guitar, practice with the dream of someday being able to play it.
Joe Casson that is the beauty of music brotherman every one can interpret it differently and it can also bring different feelings to all, just my humble opinion
There's a radio interview of him and he talks in his normal voice and he really talks about a lot. He said he has heart problems and how he wants to open an amusement park for people to go to enjoy like they did his music and he talked about his parents and how his mothers' death afftected him a lot. I forgot who conducted it, but he's a really, really pure hearted person. Pray for that man
He's a very pure hearted person. The soul-stirring beauty in his music is a true reflection of the beautiful human being that created it. His music communicates something from one soul to another....it's true, pure, real. I felt it had to come from a pure hearted person, and the interview confirmed it 100%.
@@quantumcrash7266 Truly one of a kind. And to keep his anonymity and make music with no profit involved in it all is something to respect. Especially in regards to his skills when he plays. He plays his heart out and its felt (and the chicken army from all them KFC buckets lol) What a time to be alive to hear heartfelt music like this 🖤🤘
I never had a close relationship with my brother. At one of our few high points, we were in a car, smoking weed, listening to The Who - Behind Blue Eyes. He told me "Play this song at my funeral". I did.
I listen/watch to his man every day now. To me, he comes a cross like a horribly misunderstood phantom, who's only way to show emotion is through his hands from which it pours like a fountain roaring down a mountain.
the crowd has no clue how epic that solo was/is one of the best of all time its everything a solo should be, melodic, coherent and climatic! totally expressive and fits the song perfectly
Not only he created hundreds of great songs, but also each live version of them has something unique, a different touch. The big bucket is a creative genius like no other.
I only discovered Buckethead 3 days ago.....I got my guitar today. I might never ever even approach 1/100th of his level but it's beautiful and I'm going to try
I remember a long time ago a youtuber talked about buckethead and I was really into music but I never looked him up. A few years later I looked him up at night while I was in my bed and clicked on this song. I must have listened to it about 20 times before I went to sleep. In my opinion, buckethead outshines every guitar player I have ever heard of.
One guitar. One bass. One drummer. Simplicity at it finest. Goes to show how beautiful straightforward bass-line's and drums can be when combined with superior guitar writing.
In the mid "80's I saw an article about Buckethead in 'Guitar Player' magazine in the 'upcoming talent' section. I didn't know it was him ( I couldn't have at the time as he wasn't known as Buckethead then ), he was some young guy named Brian Carroll. Almost 30 years later I saw the same column on the internet after searching for 'Buckethead without mask'.
I'm watchin Southpark ( Guitar hero episode ) and they mention "Buckethead " , I thought it was a joke , then I come here and find out this guy is not only real, but he's right up there with Eric Johnson , Steven Via & Joe Satriani...how cool is that.
He is truly one of the greatest musicians of all time. Some would even say that he’s the goat of guitar. He would disagree and say it’s Shawn Lane. What an amazing man (alien, robot ?? 😎)
I'm echoing many comments here....this was the very first exposure to Bucket 12 years ago. I came back from a party, was mildly buzzed. My wife went to bed, and I wasn't ready to sleep so I did what I often do, put some headphones on, and did the random music search. Found this youtube by accident. The song literally gave me chicken skin 10 seconds in, I could almost not believe it was real. I must have played it 30 times straight through. "Came to" with my wife snapping her fingers in front of my face....like WTF ;) Still not tired of it. I think it's the best version of Whitewash ever (the second being the one with the Deli Creeps) and easily one of the top 5 of all. Just so pure. Something about the grainy video and the shaky camera makes it even better.
He's totally feeling this performance..(3:53) is proof..watch his head slowly rocking side to side..He's in the moment..I know because I've done same thing..this is best video of him..and he's projecting it outward..music truly is "in' the soul..people call him BUCKETHEAD!!!
I saw this video 8 years ago and it was the first time I had ever heard of Buckethead, this video changed my life man, since I saw this, ive not found a musician I admire more.
I will never forget this video, I was 12 years old and my older cousin was playing this on his laptop and all I could think was, "that sounds really fucking cool!"
This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard in my life. It is so simple, yet so technical but without loosing the "feel". When he decides to let his finger go, the feeling does not go away. It is one of the few guitar players out there who can play like that.
Every note was the perfect note at the time for the entire length of the song. He made his guitar sing each note too. Not a single note was off-putting. Perfection.
Yeah I know I saw him in San Fran and was a little sad he did not play it but he did a reply nice new version of dawn appears which I thought made up for it but began so many songs to choose from I bet he lost track of this one haha
That part makes my neck hair tingle.. and the intro verses. Edit*- Second time I watched this performance was on liberty caps.. it was amazing, because his guitar seemed to be more in the centre and I could follow his every finger movement
Was, is, and always will be my favorite musical performance of all time. I watched this 14 years ago, loved every second, and still do. Thanks Buckethead
I contributed with 1000 views. First Buckethead song I ever heard, I remember listening to it over and over for 2 hours straight, completely blown away.
I've been listening to a lot of Guitar "Gods" lately, such as Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani, etc. and thus far Buckethead is emerging as my favorite by quite a bit. I've known of him for a long time since he played in Guns N Roses for a while but I've never really checked out his solo stuff. His style is really unique. He plays with both emotion and ingenuity.
My father showed me this exact video many times when I was young. If I played this for him now, he'd still think it was the coolest guitar video in the world. I'm so glad that it's still up on RU-vid. Thank you for having it here.
Man, this is a trip...I remember discovering this video before it had even a million views...I can't believe its up past 6 million. Long live the head of bucket...BUCKETHEAD.
In an odd way it seems fitting that the recording of this specific performance, while unprofessional with inferior audio and video traits, is far more than adequate to capture with deep timeprint our affection and admiration. We heard it well enough and saw what we wanted to see and nothing of what we don't want to see. Right place right time lucky thing serendipity to bestow this gem. A masterpiece with a KFC bucket and an amateur lasso for the ages.
This song til this day is one of my favorites ever. First bucket head song I discovered as well. The live version is so much better than the studio version
I remember stumbling across this video back in 2007 when I was 11 years old, the first few seconds had an eerie but calming vibe to it. 24 years old now and still enjoying every second of his playing. One of my favorite performances by him.
Can't believe it's been 10 years since I've first watched this vid. Someone should archive all these videos before the world war 3 so the music can be preserved.
I remember discovering this very vid over 10 years ago and I was hooked. Even today it is still amazing and one of my favourites. Timeless classic. Absolutely mesmerising.
