Buckethead: He Keeps Denying It 

Please, kindly smack those 'like' and 'subscribe' buttons....my Shih Tzu greatly appreciates it! 🤘😎🤘

I wore a KFC bucket to a Buckethead show at the Culture Room. I took it off my head when he was passing out toys and extended it his way. He tried to toss a toy in, but the hands of the crowd deflected it away. BUT ! He tried again and placed it ALL the WAY this time making sure I got it. It was a Hot Wheelz car which I still have to this day and cherish very much. Buckethead is my hero. I am 35 and started playing when I was 11. To this day, he makes me inspired to pick up my guitar and let my soul flow free. I love you Buckethead. I can’t wait to see him on this tour ! I am eternally grateful.

I met Buckethead and Maximum Bob outside some small club in Sacramento 20 some years ago. I shook Big B's hand and knew better not to give the guy a firm grip and was met with an equally limp shake. He looked me in the eye when I asked if I could have a picture with him and Maximum Bob, but I asked if it would be ok to take 2 pictures...one with the 3 of us looking like old pals and the other being attacked by them. His eyes lit up and he shook his head joyfully. I love you Buckethead

I did a meet and greet with Primus at Ozzfest late 90's ? in West Palm Beach Florida. Brain was drumming and BucketHead sat it. When i met Les,Lar and Brain ....there was a dude hanging at the table with them it ended up being BH. W/o the mask and Bucket. He was super cool. I was wearing a Taxi Driver shirt and he was just going on about it. I didn't realize at the time who he was. But talked about the movie for awhile. It was blazing hot and humid. I would have gifted him the shirt had i know. He didn't do pics but he did sign the promo pic of Primus with a hand drawn little BucketHead. Pretty cool. Still have it .and the picture of Les and me

When Shawn Lane gives you props, you know you're a god damned beast.

He's a shredder and a Performance Artist. I love that about him. A lot of us can probably relate to his need for the bucket to feel confident. He's a free spirit. The rock world is better because he's in it.

I got to meet Buckethead once (people don't believe me but we took a picture together so...) it was at Exit In in Nashville after one of his solo shows. I used to just walk backstage there and meet people that I would have never met and way too long to list... anyways, I just did that about 30 mins. before he went on and bam! there he was, he had some handler dude with him that tried to push me back but he pushed the guy back and motioned me over. we shook hands and I asked if we could take a picture together and he made the dude take our picture. he said some jibberish in a high pitched voice that wasn't even words and shook my hand again and I left to watch the show

Buckethead has some alien like fingers! Dude's a guitar god.

I became a fan back in 2000 and thought i was late to the party. little did I know how much insane music he would release from then till now.

Buckethead gave me a pack of glow stars at one of his shows.. (when he brought out the gift bag with disney like music playing and started handing little toys to people 😆😄) One if the funniest memories

I have to admit that, without this much information at the time, I thought Bucket Head was just a hidden guitar player that replaced Slash, and the whole bucket thing was to make fun of Slash and his hat.

Knowing the anxiety dude has its amazing he would accept taking the place of Slash.

I was lucky enough to see Brian Carroll perform with Les Claypool is S.F. with no gimmick on. That was a historical event for me

I met Buckethead once. In 2006 for secret recipe. First in line to meet him. Shook his hand and told him it was an honor. He looked at me and said “hmmmmooommmm” he signed my buckethead comic book “to Julian” personalized. Hands down best celeb meeting and I’ve met and hung out with some big ones at the time . Korn, limp bizkit etc.

The best Bucketmentary i have seen on YT. Great job Jimmy, i love this content and video! 🤘🎸💥⚡️

Im going to see bucket this sunday!! Im so freakin psyched!! Ive never gotten to see him live yet!! Im driving like 3 hours but id drive 300 hours to see him no matter what!!😁😁🤘🤘

This man has written so many brilliant songs. It’s hard to wrap my head around it. My personal favorite album is ‘Pepper’s Ghost’

Buckethead is definitely a extremely talented, unique individual. I respect his intelligence for his business aspects and his work ethic. Thank you, Buckhead, for everything you give.

The Bucket Man is one guitarist that stands right out. His playing is original and sounds great . Good on him.

Phenomenal. He's one of the gifted guitarists who look to be having an out of body experience while performing

My friend saw him back when he was with the Delicreeps. I was in Amoeba in San Francisco once, buying a Buckethead CD, and the lady at the checkout counter said to me "oh, yeah he was in here a couple weeks ago" or something like that, and said he just looks like a normal guy.

That dude is off the hook

Buckethead got skillz that's for sure and thank you for the video it was fantastic.

You're the man Buckethead and you've given me hope to know that dreams are too far away when it comes to music. 😎💯🤟🤘

Excellent narration and informative. Thank you man. Great video. 🏅

Buckethead is literally a living superhero. His special power is being able to influence your emotions with his guitar playing, and his powers are definitely working on me. Nothing but respect and admiration for this man and what he’s accomplished in his life. Nobody like him in the entire music industry.

Buckethead is my favorite guitarist, the best!

Thanks much for the effort on the video ... enjoyed this. Some amazing players. Subscribed. Cheers

As I've always thought of Buckethead... "Hey...so what songs do you know?" "Yes."

Nicely done video. Although I have been a fan for decades, I always learn a bit more when good videos are made about my favourite guitarist and indeed favourite musician. I just love his tone, only subtle changes over the years and an absolutely massive sound.

Greatest catalogue of brilliance. Ever.

His work on the Praxis albums with Bill Laswell is legendary.

Great share Jimmy! Really liked this from beginning to end!

Saw Buckethead 3 tours in a row in Asheville NC. Great live show!

Buckethead is the goat!! 🎸 Great Channel btw 🫶

Love Bucket. Seriously under appreciated

Great job on this. Loved the commentary and excellent collection of footage!

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform a few times but my absolute favorite show was at the Chicago House of Blues in April 2005. Saw him with Praxis and Tabla Beat Science and they all blew my mind.

Live in NY.NEVER thought I would get to see him.Till he was in Buffalo several years ago.Ican now ck that 1 off my Bucket (head) list!

Awesomeness!!! Under rated in my opinion!!!🎸🎸🎸

Elucidating! Thank you!

World changing artist.

Dude Shreds. I seen a video clip of him a week before the PBS show. And when I saw the PBS show the 1st thing that came to mind was 'This dude and Les Claypool would just feed off each other and produce some awesome sound!

Commenting for algorithm 👍 this was some cool content, i have some albums to check out because of your video and what could be better than that 😁 thanks

I'm a huge fan of his killswitch playing. Love it.

Great job on this the mighty B deserves all the recognition he can get , He is for sure one of the best rock guitar players alive imo , I have seen him live twice and his shows are unreal !

One of the best live shows I have ever seen!!! And he gave me a toy Hot Wheels car! Big Love for the Bucket! 🪣❤

This vid just came across my feed and after watching just this one vid I immediately subbed!

Love you for over 25 years, Buckethead... you are a GREAT! 🤜❤

I used to think that Buckethead was secretly Paul Gilbert because they both have long pinky fingers. 😂

I seen Buckethead at The Riviera in Chicago in the early 2000s and he gave me a comic book lol

Awesome vid and it was awesome to learn about Gabby! She only has 1k subs for some reason but her music is so cool

love the vid and these comments. thanks GMS and mr. bucket ❤

Good work man. You seem to know your stuff. I studied Bucket for a long time.I should have beat you to this doc. lol. Thanks for this. Fave Album is Colma and M.R. id play those in repeat. So glad he spent his time and energy in channeling the chickens instead of choking it, hard to shred w hairy palms.

Right on. Thanks for sharing.

What an awesome dude!

Dream bridge, my favorite tune by Buckethead.

I need to meet him one day, kindred spirit filled with oddness

Always loved the stuff Bucket did with another god among men, Mike Patton.

Thank you so much for this video man! I’ve been a huge fan of buckethead for many years and I had no idea about some of this stuff!! This was awesome to watch

I literally came bavk to leave a comment and like. This was a great vid

Love Buckethead. I have every single Pike he released. Also 6 pieces of Buckethead’s artwork on canvases.

The kill switch master 🤘🎸🐓

loved this

This is a great story about bucket head. There is no doubt that he is a shreddin' God. Love this dude!

I bought the guitar player magazine with Brazos in it in 1989 when i was a kid and lived in the Bay Area saw the Deli Creeps and i have seen him solo a few times always a fun show. Pike 224 Buildor is a favorite i would suggest.

Saw the " Gunz & Rose's" version with bucket, & axil really had a hot backup band !!! He did a solo at the G&R show that was killa !☆

Great video! great guitarist!

Loved this

Bucket is on tour right now-I have tickets for Madison, WI show in August.

Greatest guitarist of all time.

Bucket was my introduction to the world of virtuoso guitar, never would’ve heard of guys like Shawn Lane, Paul Gilbert, and Guthrie Govan. All guys that I love but Buckethead touches me the most, specifically his calm and melancholic songs

The dude's an excellent guitarist. Nuff said!

very cool

He's a fuckin shred machine. Bucket of Berny Brain's is bloody brilliant. I listen to it all the time. Wish they'd released more than 1 album though.

Great guitarist definitely has his own style.

Seen him live, absolutely best guitarist. His energy and mystery is on another level

Yes, Brian is 'Buckethead'. He was previously 'The Unknown Comic', and currently still does cameos as SlenderMan. 😁 Brian/Buckethead ROCKS! 🤘

So glad dude is doing better, his health scare was a big "oh fuck not another legend" moment.

thank you, this is a good video!

Compliments for your 16 k my friend

I play guitar, now I'm gonna put a sauce pan on my head and hope someday to jam with buckethead ..

Cool !!!

Buckethead taught me how to talk, Thsnk you so much Buckethead!

Glad you mention their show at Boonaro. I own a dvd of that festival just for that monster jam

LIterally the scariest guitar player out there. Like an alien version of Guthrie Govan.

Great doc my friend! 🤘🤘 Hope you're doing well!

I saw Buckethead once in concert. Interesting guitar paying....

His "fancy bucket."😆

Now that was fun!

Buckethead is an alien.

Hard to believe after getting a mixed cd with a few buckethead songs on it almost 20 years ago he would be my favourite living guitar player and have over 300 of his albums

LaVerne!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! I grew up in Pomona!!! Hey neighbor 🥰👍

I was always under the impression that the bucket was a direct jab to Slash's signature top hat.

I went to Damien High School. His dad, our PE teacher, would out his son all the time.

I've seen Buckethead live a couple of times "Amazing what he does on guitar"😮😎😎👏👏👏

Colma is my favorite album. So much emotion expressed in such a unique way.

🤘😎🤘

G O A T

PRIVILEGED to have seen 2 GUNS N ROSES shows with him one being FIRST show in Vegas HOB second also Vegas 2 years later. PHENOMENAL.. comp,ete with ALIEN infused solos, glowing eyes and nunchaku intermission.. only thing missing was THERE WAS A TIME solo by him and Robin.
