The legend states that *the devil himself* approached Buckethead with a wager. The legend never tells what Buckethead got, but the devil got *guitar lessons.*
keep digging bro. much, much more to discover. don't really listen to much anymore. only found about the guy 2 years ago. Had the chance to see him live a few times. Nothing like him.
Lot of ppl here who are just discovering Buckethead, enjoy my friends, there's no one better, saw him live years ago in NYC at bb kings, will never forget it.
Not always man! A lot of his more popular songs are filled with debates. However, a lot of pike releases are riddled with Buckethead fans, so that I can attest to! :D
Buckethead's best song no doubt. The verses are amazing. The way they sound, like it's building up suspense to the song. Then it goes into those kickass solos. Amazing use of the wah pedal too. Buckethead is definitely one of the best musicians of our generation.
I never imagined I would lie alone listening to a guy wearing a mask and a bucket on his head while playing guitar. But what can I say, he´s good. Very good.
I had a rough day. Some prayer, and a whole lot of Buckethead, and I’m in a much better place. This man’s music is special. It takes me places most music can’t.
Just when I think ive heard almost everything bucketead has has to offer, something else comes along, again and again and again, and its fucking amazing!
its ok. hes young and tours. its a small crowd but highly potent. not to mention i believe he has created more studio albums than any artist in history
I SAW BUCKETHEAD IN FAIRFIELD, APRIL 13TH ( FRIDAY ) THE SHOW WAS AMAZING, HE WAS 2 HOURS LATE BUT HE WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT. I GOT THE FIRST TOY HE PASSED OUT THAT NIGHT. HE HAS A BAG OF SMALL TOYS THAT HE PASSES OUT TO THE AUDIENCE DURING HIS SHOWS. THANK YOU BUCKET HEAD
Twas it a chicken head dildo?? The cluckuntmaster-01XXX? I got that at the Fairfield concert also!! Yea,.....better watch that toy. Matel has a recall on it. It shocks your giggy at random. Bucket didn't know that when he passed those out.........or DID HE???
My 3 year old daughter just walked into the room while I was listening to this. She did 2 "pirouettes" and said she loved this song. My outlook for the future just got a little brighter today.
i cant believe that after 30 yrs of playing guitar and listening to the best of shrapnell to yngwie to becker macalpine shawn lane and so on that i have never heardof buckethead until just recently and i mean to say that without a doubt just after only hearing a few of his songs that this man is definitley the very best if you were to catorgorize such a thing. i try to approach music as a no competition thing and that all musicians have something to offer but buckethead is clearly ahead of his time and i do not have the correct or even can i come close to expressing how talented and gifted buckethead is. hes got fucking feel too!! holy shit i mean this is great! wow!
i can only imagine bro! The coolest thing about him to me and is the most enjoyable is that he makes the hair stand on my arms and my head! He plays with his heart and that was always what drove me to lsten to yngwie above alot of other players back in the day bcuz he could down get down on some blues and could make that guitar talk and buckethead the same way. He has like over 100 albums out i mean thats incredible! Ts like where do u start to listen to. Got any links i would appreciate that!
I remember playing these songs to a former friend who was a guitarist and into Steve Vai and stuff. Did not resonate with him at all. Lost all respect for him in a musical sense right there.
34°07'08.2"N 117°43'27.4"W is the house he lived from he was a teen until his parents died he moved to an undisclosed location in agoura hillas his father was a coach at claremont HS
You're getting upset really easily... I made a "joke" on a 1 year old comment which is likely fake anyways (might not be though). Learn to take a fucking joke. And I didn't exactly mock the grandma nor did I say anything offensive.
I saw Buckethead 2 weeks ago for the 1st time. My son had been telling me how good Bucket was so I listened and to see him live. I had a lost a friend to a heroin overdose and Buckets music has helped me. I will say this Buckethead is better than Jeff Beck.
wow thats a pretty bold statement. I think you will find many do not agree. he is good but beck is a completely different player and to compare the two is not a good comparison. Beck is a musician. Bucket head is a instrumentalist. Maybe a better choice to compare him to would be Satrianni
sorry to interfere but whats the difference between a musician and a instrumentalist....Buckethead is not musician because he is making music only with intruments?So Bach and Mozart were not musicians?
Matthew Prather Yes I agree with that statement too,im not supporting buckethead...but being instrumentalist doesnt mean you are not good as a typical music writer.And this completely wrong opinion is been embraced by every fucking pop fan in our days thats why I triggered so much :)
I'm a drummer so I don't know all the greats, but this guy is just awesome. The prolific nature of this guy and his incredible skills.. All hail Buckethead !
Something about Les Paul tone I'll always adore above all other guitars. It's like when that build up to a solo is like all the hair on your body wants to go vertical, then the solo hits and every hair is ripped out at once (mind blowing sound). Those days when you stumble onto something you've seen around but never experienced that blows your mind; gotta lovem! This guy is outstanding.
Legitimate savant or some other cognitive "disorder" or "blessing" however you want to describe BH, but exactly how many guitar masterpieces has he created? And is there anything he CANT do on guitar. I've seen him switch his left hand with his right hand while holding a chord so he could shake the cramps out of his left hand. I've never seen another guitar make the shape of a chord with their strumming hand and quickly and perfectly switch it out with their chord hand. That's badass
Imagine Buckethead playing with Dimebag in a band. Dimebag was into these guitar effects as well, especially lately in his life and I think he would have dug Bucket, as well Bucket, Dime. Dream band :D
MadBurner1 buckethead met Dimebag sometime before he died it's a shame they didn't make songs together but Buckethead did make an awesome tribute song to him and i bet dime appreciates it up in the sky.
Big Boss Freeman the bassist is brewer who helpes buckethead write his stuff and plays bass for him live and the drummer is either pinchface from the deli creeps or brian who is a friend of buckethead.
I can't even move after listening to him in fact I don't ever want to stop why are the ordinary things of everyday life getting in the way of listening to him? I want to live in his music.
I'm trying to flick through his music on here...but it's impossible...the last 8 or 9 songs I've had on I've just sat here with my arms folded, hypnotised listening to him! He really must be one of the greatest, I'm amazed that I never properly noticed until now. Bravo, Buckethead.
Those paid actors have never been in space. believe me. all the images you see are computer generated and earth shots are from a fish eye camera lense from 120,000 feet
Martin Berglund Right now I'm listening to the new one :D 279 right now, if I'm not mistaken. And those are only his solo releases. He had 20 own bands and more than a hundred collaborations.
