Buckethead Megaliths (Mix) 

The first song, Hold Me Forever, as many of you know, is for his mom. Nothing changes you like losing your mother, no matter how old you are when it happens. The first time I heard this, I thought of my mom going through horrible pain off and on for 2 1/2 years while she struggled with cancer until she died at 47 when I was just 20. I wept like a baby through the whole 28 minutes even though it happened 50 years ago. I've listened to all kinds of music my whole life and NEVER has any music touched me so profoundly as this man's music. I just discovered him about two years ago. Listen to him almost every day. Now I have tickets to see him in Rocklin, CA in June. I feel extremely fortunate as he doesn't tour much. He's not just a musician. He is a toucher and transformer of souls. So many comments on RU-vid videos from people saying that he saved their lives. Seriously, how many other musicians have that effect on people?

Me living a solitary life- with no friends or family - walking alone on the street. Me and the buckethead playlist. Helps me get by. ❤

Whenever I listen to this guy, I immediately check the comments as well. It heals me to see people love him so much and his music takes people with him in a journey, he is one of a kind.

Buckethead is a genre of music

Hold Me Forever is supernatural...

Children, let me tell you a story of a man... A man who, after years of enjoying the colonel's chicken then became allergic to one of the herbs and spices in his signature blend. Heartbroken he gently placed one of the buckets of the chicken he craved atop his head. Surrounded by the scent of what he'd lost he began to pour out a heart wrenching song of love and loss. Some people say he's still out there, pouring out ballads to the flavor that will never be his. Touching hearts with the sweet melodic sound of seasonings.

it feels like i have found my life's background music

He has so much I could never learn the names. But I've never heard anything that wasn't incredible. When I see Buckethead I just hit play and let it go. I've never been disappointed I am always amazed. He is without a doubt the greatest guitar player ever

He does feed the "SOUL", every time you re-listen to a track you get more out of it.

I am 69 years young and just love this guy. I used to think Hendrix was the best but, hell, this is what guitar playing is about - LOVE IT !!! Especially Hold me forever -WOW

Buckethead is a really good guitar player, so good that people don't even give him credit for his writing. The way that he can write such long pieces that just flow together is amazing. Most guitarists fall back onto riffing and shredding, but he writes music more like you'd expect from a classical pianist.

Buckethead helped me with my depression and helps keep me motivated to better myself! :D

Buckethead always takes you with him

Finding Bucketheads music has been one of the most radical times of my life.

I'm 68 years old I've seen many guitarists but this current this energy this guitar wisdom had never heard the student surpassed his teacher Paul Gilbert and with an immeasurable creativity Buckethead has no more to discover on guitar I came out of my depression thanks to this great gentleman. thanks

Damn that Hold Me Forever ... i think i heard it about 30times in the last 4 days ...

i went to the original Woodstock wen i was 15yo & Buckethead wuda been just a few months old during that era, i just turned 70yo on 04.28.2024 & i hope i liv long enuff 2 enjoy all of Buckethead's songs ! I've seen alotta musican's come & go in my time here on Earth, bt i gotta say this much, Bucketthead nhas 2 be 1 of the finest guitarist i've ever heard in my entire life !!!

Hold Me Forever is proof the Buckethead isn't human

Vai, Hendrix, Vaughan, Satriani, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, their more modern equivalents, all the good, great, amazing, beyond comprehension guitarists are only second to Buckethead. They have the skills, some were born to play guitar, others are masters of it through sheer perseverance and will instead of any natural talent. But Buckethead isn't just born for guitar, he is guitar. That man and his instrument are one being, he's risen above thinking with his heart and speaking his thoughts through his guitar, he pours his very soul, his entire existence, into every song. Every note is played as if he was making a duet with his soulmate. Each one is a masterpiece unto itself, and a masterpiece beyond it's predecessor. He will never stop improving, and no human will reach his level of mastery for hundreds, if not thousands of years. He is the Neo of guitar, he is "the one". In my years of listening to rock, metal, country, blues, jazz, everything in between, nobody has come even remotely close to Buckethead's level. His abilities aren't just from him being an amazing guitarist, but because it's his purpose to make music. And I live every day happy knowing I get to witness the beauty of Buckethead.

Came across Buckethead totally by accident, youtube was on autoplay and it was some Slash vs Buckethead video and I was like "who tf is this guy and why are they comparing him to Slash".. He was trollong in the video, playing with some chicken toy and stuff and it got me curious.. Dug a bit deeper and WOW, Slash has nothing on this guy, not even in the same stratosphere 😳

Buckethead is the uranium of music...the source of limitless energy the world needs but does not deserve

we buckethead fans are a special breed. something about him connects us all its a beautiful thing. he is a symbol, and i think about him everyday. just hoping hes doing ok and all the people hes influenced. makes being alive tolerable for me.

Finest guitar player of this century, so creative and full of feelings, a real pleasure for human beings.

Man, Buckethead is nuts. How much energy does this guy has? The nonstop riffs he does are insane!

You can tell he writes songs with his heart

Kicking it off with "Hold Me Forever", probably my favorite pike of all time. I've run through this so many times and it never gets old.

he plays in a way that we all love; it seems that he's making our dreams come true, playing exactly the things we would if we could..long music highways, long landscapes we dream to play on, over, and over, and over.

Some hero’s wear a cape. My hero wears a bucket, on his head.

He is with his music is making us understand the Meaning of why we are on this Earth, making us think Deep into our souls and having us enjoy the Harmony of Nature and the Universe . I thank God & the Aliens for this Soul on Earth ! Thank you Bucket Head for Changing the Course of our Lives !

We are blessed to have buckethead-disciples like you

"Buckethead"? Okay algorithm, you're weird, but let's give it a shot." Half an hour later: "Fuck me."

HOLD ME FOREVER is utterly magnificent!!! builds to a miasma of superb guitarring!!!!!!!!!

How can songs with no lyrics move me so much? More than a guitar hero!

I don't know if there's one tune that i don't like by this amazing artist. Buckethead is a GIFT to humanity 💞 thank you for this incredible compilation.

The output of Buckethead is just incredible. This guy was a Chopin or Beethoven in a prior life.

Until a week ago, my life was incomplete not knowing about Buckedhead, since then, i sometimes can't sleep cause i'm so high in his music 24/7. This man is a legend🔥🔥🔥

I am sitting here listening to Buckethead on Christmas morning 2021 and it brings me great Joy! Merry Christmas Buckethead!!!

This is what happens when you accidentally give too many talent bars to one character in the simulation God damn love this shit

I just discovered Buckethead (he was in my list while listening to Tool) and just...wow. Nothing else explains it better than that. Now I am in Buckethead land.

I am so happy I found him. Great musician, very underrated. I love his style

The greatest in the history of the guitar!!!!

Got my 4 year old brother into Buckethead. I'm teaching him good tastes 😎

His music resonates with every cell in my body. He is just amazing.

This moment that you have to go to do something but you can't stop the video..

Listening to Buckethead, painting and airbrushing psychodelic art

Physically unable to stop listening to the incredible artist! So much diversity! Every bar has something different to offer my ears, and my ears are loving every single note! How this brilliant artist hasn't made to the mainstream is beyond me... The world would truly be a better place if more of us sorry souls on planet earth would listen, soak up these juicy riffs, these sick licks, and enjoy the nirvana that is Buckethead!

The Gods sent this person to open our minds & spirits

This is giving me energy to keep up for my graduation

Más de 30 años escuchando rock..heavy metal etc...y desde q descubrí al señor buckethead todo lo demas me sobra....su música te hace sentir de todo...desde euforia hasta llorar....sin duda es el mejor de todos...el flow que tiene es insuperable..rey de reyes ❤️

These make the best jam tracks when you want to blast off. So far

I find it enjoyable as I listen to read through the comments. So many feel as I do about such a talented man.

As a long time metal fan, I am ashamed that I never gave buckethead a listen until 2022....

After discovering your playlist I can't stop listenting to it. I've listened to Buckethead for years but never heard some of the songs you've put into these mixes. Pure bliss

This video is audible medicine to me. I listen to it all the time when I'm at work. IM IN LOVEEE 🤟🤘

I never realized how bad I needed a RU-vid ad right before the greatest solo of all time kicks in, tnx man

Thank you RU-vid autoplay for introducing me to another great artist.

I always favored listening to each album separately. This mix is an exception. Good job.

Florrmat - one of the most badass intros of all time.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BUD! race, religion, politics, origin, etc, all of it takes a back seat when the old bucket /live music starts up n the boogie is going! keep on bud!

Hold me forever is INSANE!

Buckethead should be in the top 5 guitarists, the world over! Florrmat is such a representation of his skills as an instrumentalist. Continue the quest, there's yet, more to come!

EVERY-TIME I LISTEN TO BUCKETHEAD - I THINK ITS GOING TO BE JUST MUSIC. EACH TIME IT ENDS UP BEING AN INTENSE DEEP JOURNEY

Buckethead is my drug and I have a serious addiction...this took me places. Major props on this playlist, the best yet!!!

I've heard of buckethead for a few years on various metal/hard rock pages I follow. And unfortunately, for whatever reason, up until today. I never gave him a listen. I'm ashamed at that, now, that I dived in today. This is beautiful.

Just one of these pieces would be enough to make the career of any other guitarist famous and celebrated. Well, Buckhetead of songs of this level has dozens of them. He seems to come from another world, from another dimension. It's amazing ...

Damn, I always saw this guy's picture around and then his signature white Les Paul baritone guitar, for a while, but for no particular reason never really listened. This is incredible.

Keeps getting better, beginning to see more of the landscape , seeing more of the contrast that exists between light generated by emotional reality and the intense dark descents into imagination and fantasy. . . He has the ability to exist in both realms at the same time and I believe he is explaining it all to us without using any words. . .

This is an absolute belter of a mix, thank you!

I first heard about Buckethead when I read an interview with him in Guitar Player magazine in 1992. He mentioned the band he was in called Praxis. A few days later i went and bought Praxis: Transmutations (mutatis mutandis) and was subsequently blown away by his playing and have been a fan ever since . Little did I know I had already seen a picture of Buckethead w/o his bucket and mask in a issue of Guitar World when he was spotlighted by Mike Varney under his real name Brian Carroll .

Most enjoyable. Watched the Rolex 24 car race for a few hours last night with Bucketheads music turned up. Great mix of awesome music and images. Thank you!

This makes me feel like i NEED to drink right now just to handle my emotions while listening

Backethead’’s music really incredible and unrepeatable. The tones he uses are amazing.

His discipline is appreciated always keeps you guessing where he's going to go truly a one-of-a-kind guitar player

This is Epic! 20min solo just killing it. Buckethead rules.

I dipped my toes into the Pike pool a few years ago when, I forget how, I stumbled onto BH. Having those first 10 pikes that I acquired and a hand full of the 'studio' albums. I would jot down those tunes that erupted into such titanic riffage that it stole my concentration away from whatever I might have been doing at the time. Slowly, a play list of favorites emerged. Now, I find these 'Megalith' curated lists... mind blown. It's all mountain of sound, epic, wonderous, 100% rocket sauce all the time. So, thank you, gs. Thank you very very much. I just acquired 15 of these megaliths from bandcamp.

Nobody plays like him. I can listen to this all day

Buildor is a badass masterpiece. Dark as hell.

Just AWESOME. I needed to hear this guy long time ago. Wow.

A huge gorgeous mix and I go with her at work every day. Some kind of special journey leads by an angel on earth. Thanks to you for this share and thanks to Mr Bucket always strangel when he plays guitar.

OH! His guitar definitely speaks! The greatest guitar play I´ve ever heard. So gentle, also agressive, technical and moody and SO melodic! It´s everything included in his music! I just hit the PLAY button and flew away to his world of music!

I'll probably catch some flack for this, not taking away anything from satriani or Gilbert as they both had an influence on his playing. But in more than my humble opinion not only is he on the same playing field as those greats but as of now , right here right now not only does he outplay them but he is sitting in a circle and pedestal all by himself not many if any can pick up the ax and shred so intensely that there is no need for words because his playing invokes every emotion that it literally speaks volumes all on its own. Now I know it's not a contest I know it's art from the top down and vise versa but to me IMHO. No one even comes within the same vicinity as this man! Here's to you Brian! Long Live THEE Bucket Of all Buckets!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻bring whole new meaning to 'I get Buckets" lol

Will be riding my motorcycle listening to this!

A few years ago I wanted to joke. I took it back after being corrected. Definately. Music genius Orchestra with drums and buckethead. Keep on ripping brother...

This man's talent is....amazingly awesome! Thank you, buckethead!

Que tremenda compilación,!!!! Mil gracias

This is one of my most favorite song videos on youtube! Each Buckethead song sooooo incredibly awesome! Thank you!

Buckets helps me get through a workout this afternoon! BH never fails to amaze me in many ways in my life!

Thanks for generously sharing Buckethead. I for one thoroughly enjoy the fun you have. Rock On man!

1 year later and I still love this. 🤘 keep rockin socks off my dude!

Just when you think you've heard them all!!! Most excellent.....

Speechless! Amazing! I get goose bumps every time I listen to this amazing musician! What pours from his fingers is life changing!

your idea for this compilation is awesome, great song choices. love it, thanks!

Buckethead is the greatest guitarist on the planet hands down. I'm so lucky I got to see him up close it was like he was playing just for me it was so amazing. :) Please come back to Columbus Ohio soon.

First time hearing Buckethead today. Got damn I was missing out!! You sir are a genius!

HIs music gets me totally relaxed and focused like nothing else. I can listen to Buckethead for hours on end.

I hope you're smiling under you're mask!!! The greatest!?!

Whoa... just WHOA! YT just randomly sent me here when the Cacophony (Jason Becker/Marty Friedman) album I was listening to ended and HOLY SHIT! This guy is freaking amazing! Definitely adding this hidden gem to my playlist.

NEVER delete this

Music like this makes me believe in magic.

I'm glad Buckethead can play whatever he wants...
