Buckethead - Hardly Strictly Bluegrass full performance 1080P/60 [1/2] 

the camera you're using is better than my eyes

Mann I have got to see Buckethead live. I don't want to go to my grave without that off my bucket list.

His vocals are on point

Can’t believe this video is 11 years ago, the video quality is so crystal clear

The 'button' is a killswitch. It 'kills' the signal the guitar sends to the amp when pressed and held down. He is not Paul Gilbert. Gilbert was just one of Buckethead's teachers. His name is Brian Carrol. The first song played is Night Of The Slunk. He is so famous because of his ability to play pretty much every style of guitar from blues, to jazz, to country, to pure shred. And when he does shred, it's extremely technical. Why the mask and bucket? It's a stage character. It's complicated why he wears it, but my guess is to be original and unique. Who else has a completely separate identity who is famous for guitar playing? 'Why do people listen to this?' Why do you listen to what you listen to? You enjoy it, right? Exactly. There, i just answered 95% of everyone's questions that have constantly been asked over and over on this video. You can stop asking now. All of these have been answered about 200 times.

Finally crowd concert footage that’s not 240p

That's not sweat that's WD-40

This is one of my favorite live sets ever, he just absolutely rips it here.

Bucket is a national treasure 💯🔥

Buckethead is a genius! He will look the same until he is 60!

7:56 reloading guitar

I just heard of him 2023 and I'm 66..... already love him to the max!

Thanks aliens for sending this beautiful guitar-playing-robot for us to enjoy, they rock.

I went to a buckethead concert a few months ago and he held his guitar out to the front row so people could tap the killswitch. I got to hammer out Night of the Slunk.

16:43 thank you sir for pointing him out for me .i wasnt sure were to look till you pointed him out

Buckethead is absolutely phenomenal, so creative and innovative, his stage act and music is unparalleled! A master of his craft.

Imagine getting thousands of people to come watch you play the guitar..He's like a busker from MARS

Dude I think your camera is better than my eyes.

what a beautifully unique and talented performer

I’ve never heard noises like the sounds Buckethead can produce. He really is quite possibly the most under rated musician of all time. Forget vocals, he doesn’t need them. His artwork with an instrument is all he needs and he maybe the only person on the planet to fully master the Electric Guitar.

I was at this show, it was fantastic. Since it was a free show, I'm sure a lot of people there didn't even know who Buckethead was -- but they soon found out! I recall at one point somebody tossing bales of hay into the audience, and the crowd was shredding these bales of hay and tossing it around, lol. wild stuff

that elastic strap is sick

Buckethead can be simple and can be complex. He can sound extremely emotional when he wants and still being able to fool around on stage with some really cool synth style songs.

9:25 Buckethead is in his own worlds during that beautiful solo

"May I take your order" Buckethead- 2 killswitches and 20 different pedals please. "Please pull up to the first window"

I "discovered" Buckethead a few days ago. I'm still in shock. Has to be the best living guitarist by far.

This is my 1st day hearing bucket head And I can't think of anybody that could better him on that stage.. Clearly one of the best guitar players in the world.

I am late to the Buckethead phenomenon. I’m glad that he’s as awesome as he is.

Possibly the greatest live performance of night of the slunk that I have ever seen!

This was my first Buckethead show. I'll never forget it, especially since it's captured in extremely high definition. Awesome.

This man is one of the few people I would actually spend money to go see live. Sir Buckethead. The Man, The Myth, The Legend.

Man's a whole package himself!!! What an artist!!! Glad that I found him!!!

Never heard about this guy until last night on here. Incredible guitar skills.

fucking love the way he pushes his guitar down and robot dances everywhere. this guy is a character for sure

Buckethead's look and antics totally distracts from the fact that his solo structures are pure genius, with flawless technique and a sense of humor to boot! In my opinion the best guitar player alive today!!

8:49 proves that buckethead can play anything he wants to perfection if he so chooses.

Clearest video ever. Wtf. Buckethead rules. No one else even in the conversation for the best.

Cool robot moves that would make Devo proud.

Skill Level: Buckethead

Buckethead one of the underrated guitar greats. Total legend.

Unique and cool, his technique is great but i love the way he incorporates the effects. Awesome !!

I still say the secret to Buckethead’s legendary guitar playing are the giant earthworm like veins in his right hand.

8:50 that solo is just pure eargasm

Buckethead, is John Wick with guitar

best image I've ever seen recorded from the audience, the sound is incredible

Screw work, I gotta practice.

Just got into Buckethead 6 months ago & I'm going to simplify my comment into the most rudimentary terms.....Best Guitarist Ever!!!! This is exactly how I'd love to see him open up a show. Playing guitar like no one else & just letting it rip!! From his mellow jams to the crazy out of this world stuff he is an inspiration to me like non other. I wish I would've gotten into him way earlier, but hey, I'm a life long fan now. I'm only about 30 albums into his vast catalog & can't wait to delve further. This show just proves to me how amazing it would be to see him live. I've said it in other comments of his videos, I think seeing him live for the 1st time would be like seeing Jimi Hendrix back when he first came out. Something so extraordinariy innovative & new that it would be fucking mind blowing. If he ever comes to my neck of the woods, Portland Oregon in 2014, I'll walk out of any engagement I have planned & watch the Master paint his masterpiece....whatever it may be I'm there!!!

Thanks for uploading this.

I could watch the man play for hours. Not just listen, but watch :)

Buckethead is amazing. I had the pleasure of seeing him play live a few years ago. It was unreal!

THE BEST. He commands the instrument with such ease, it's miraculous.

Usually I get board listening to shred, but your don’t know what’s coming next with his performance and his creativity is unique, he’s definitely on his own level for entertainment and talent - AMAZING comes to mind!

I had never even heard of Bucket Head until three years ago and man this guy leads the way , Brian just goes off ! 👍

Excellent camerawork. Well done.

Not my thing - but total Musical Genius.

Love his sense of humor, his music gives me eargasms!

His guitar is packed with special effects , far more tech involved than just the kill switches.

Buckethead is so incredible. Its mind blowing

At 22:00 is when the real concert starts 😏

I’ve never really been into shredding, but he’s so amazingly gifted. I’m also not into virtuoso players, but he’s got soul and knows how to write a song. His playing fills the space of the vox melody. I love listening to him play.

His right and left hand syncing without looking while playing is something out of this world. Thousands of hours of disciplined playing.

It's 2019 and cameras from Earth still don't have this good of quality.

I've got an 8 gig flash drive filled with his music that i listen to in the car. I drive 200K's per day to and from work, so hear a good amount of this phenom every fucking day. AND I LOVE IT

this was pretty much my introduction to buckethead's solo work and i've been hooked since (:

Bucket head is such an amazing player definitely up there with some of the best there is, could listen to him all day long.....

girls wish they were that red button. ;)

Buckethead just goes to show that incredible talent and sanity do not go hand-in-hand.

he never gets old

Forever one of the GOATs

This is definitely one of his cleanest sets I've seen throughout the years of watching this Guitar God

I think this is the best camera I've ever seen.

God bless Mr. Buckethead for his consistent and faithful commitment towards his craft and fans. He is above reproach and his conscience is clear. May his borders increase and his enemies fall down by his side.

I wish I could hit the "like" button like he hits that killswitch! 🔥

19:18 someone cant find their girlfriend

20:06 "HERE ARE THE EDIBLES!!!"

In years to come people will be thanking you for recording this

just recently discovered this guy. he's awesome!

That stretchy guitar strap totally messes with my equilibrium

8:50 - 10:16 hit me right in the feels bro

9:04 That roar gets me every time man

This was 8 years ago, and this video quality is better than drama shows

Perfect left hand posture. So jealous.

Definitely one of the most entertaining guitarists to watch. Love that robotic shit. Very cool Sir Buckethead.

Cool video thank you! The image and rips and shred is something Amazing 💙

Shouts outs to Buckethead for not copyrighted this. What an incredible musician

After seeing many other videos of his concert, this is by far his best performance in recent years. He's really into it and the crowd totally gets him.

Wow. Another brand of human! What a guitarist. Love how he morphs into the next song (chapter)

Thanks for posting

This guy is truly an amazing experimenter of his craft. He goes places that others just don't either dare tread or simply don't know how to. Besides making it look so effortlessly he gets sounds others don't. He is identifiable immediately once you hear the licks on the guitar, you say " yup, that's Buckethead!" Not many guitarists have that, the identifiable sound that only they have. Genius... I wish I had taken up an instrument years and years ago. My mother did give me that opportunity. She took both myself and my older sister to this music school on Saturdays. It was a very serious place. The first hour we spent on music theory then the remainder of the time we separated into our class rooms for our lessons with our instructor for whatever instrument you were studying. I was taking guitar lessons, I was young maybe eleven, no older. All I recall was being very unhappy with this whole place. The structure, the way it felt to me was very stressful. Like I was under immense pressure to do the work. I crumbled, I remember one time actually crying when I was with my guitar teacher. I think it was because I hadn't practice what I was supposed to have practice and I was s upset. So eventually I recall not going back. In retrospect, I wish someone had forced me to stay with it no matter what. My mom had got me via the school a very impressive acoustic guitar from Spain. It was an amazing guitar. I wish I still had that instrument. I can't recall the beans but I'm sure it would be very valuable today. My sister was given a piano, one of those wall leaning models it was a Steinway piano. I don't know how my mom made all this possible for us. We were very poor. We lived in the housing projects in Newark NJ. One of the absolute worse in the country at the time, Kretchmer Housing Projects, locally known as the Dayton Street Projects.. Anyway Mom gave us this chance and neither of stuck it out. This is perhaps one of my greatest regrets. I truly believe if I had stuck with it, I would have made music my life's work. I love music intensely and I have an acute ear for it. People say it's never too late but the thing is all those many many years that have flown by would have, could have been years of mastering, honing the craft. Anyway, sorry for going off on a tangent, just felt the need to express this which I never have before in my life. If anyone can relate or have anything to convey please do so. I'd truly appreciate it...

need to see this guy live before i die, i already had the honor to see, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Lamb of god, Aphex twin, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Minus the bear, Jack White and others

The "sweat" is just oil leaking from his robot body.

This video was my introduction to Buckethead! Thanks

Thank you, this was awesome 😎🕺✨

every time I heard him playing,I'd smile with joy.such a great guitar player

Holy shit that camera is amazing. It's like it's Bucketheads robotic eye put into the crowd and fed into people's memory cards to have vision as crisp and clean as the playing. It's actually scary I'm almost as impressed with the camera quality as Buckets set.

Each album is a genius work of art.

That is the thickest Les Paul I've ever seen.
