Buckethead returns to Pawtucket RI's The Met live along with his band consisting of Madeline Cyrille Miller, Del Ray Brewer & Juno. First of 2 sets.from May 24th 2024
Hot take: Cyrille isn't all that bad. I don't mind her vocals alongside Buckethead's guitar playing. However, when I go see Buckethead live, I definitely prefer it to be a fully instrumental show, as that's the Buckethead I know and love. But if they toured under a different name, I'm sure it wouldn't feel as weird to hear her singing with Buckethead on the same stage. Kinda feels like a side project, in my opinion. I'd still probably attend that show anyways.
Ive seen bucket collab with many opening acts over the years so it wasnt that off putting. Shes getting far more criticism though. I enjoyed the sets thoroughly even tho ive always hated jessies girl with a seething passion lol
I did not mind anyone he was on stage with. I thought she put up a cool show, even made some "Zombie" faces which I thought matched well and the bass player had some great moments too.
I love Buckethead a lot, but…… I wish he wouldn’t always write linearly. For instance he’ll write 16 bars then8 bars back to 16 and so on and so forth. If he changed it up sometimes there would be even greater opportunities for his amazingly creative guitar voice to explore even more of the cosmos. The use of different time signatures as well. What would he do in 9/8 or 7/4 or whatever to expand the melody and harmonic options. I think his fans would go there with him. It wouldn’t take away, just add to his virtuosity. ✌️
Update: she was not there. And the Saturday show was fuckin Poppin! Such a great performance. And chill security and cool event staff too. The general consensus among them all was that BH fans are the nicest ones they get. The vibe was all around great!
I also went alone - what's the point of dragging someone along who's not into it. Thank you for the recording! My first and hopefully not last Buckethead concert. His whole life story is pretty fascinating.
