Warning if you play guitar and listen to buckethead side effects may include; a desire to be better, depression realizing you can't be on his level, staring at your guitar in sadness, trying to emulate buckethead, wishing you were better, and listening to more buckethead to motivate you to get better at guitar. symptoms may repeat.
Lold. I just played this song for my son over the telephone as he standing in lock-up for the next god knows how many days, this is what he requested to listen to while I let him listen over the telephone- I'm lighting one up....!! Go Team Austin!
+Chris Mulford actually if you focus on his techniques one at a time and have the time to practice, you can get pretty close and the high you get from it tops all the symptoms you mentioned, so its kinda worth it :D
+Chris Mulford Anyone can become as good at him on the guitar. As creative? Maybe not. But it's not like with trying to be a professional basketball player when your 5'6".
+The Blïnd Mönk Same, i love to impro on Padmasana for example, easy patern and such interesting to play with, just perfect song to learn and to try to understand the master :3
well not so much now. he once was. he gets millions of views now. ever been to a show? they're pretty poppin and have been since at least 2009. probably way way before that tho.
When I was 22 my girlfriend took me to see Buckethead live at The Catalyst In Santa Cruz, CA. Never heard of the guy, and I've never been into live music and concerts. She was into all kinds of music, I had no idea what to expect. "Mesmerized" is an understatement. I'm pretty sure I stood there the whole time with my jaw dropped and trying not to blink. Just this overwhelmed expression of "No fucking way. Holy shit. What the fuck? No. There's no way." I wanted every photon of what I was witnessing to bury itself deep into my optic nerve. I'm pretty sure I had to forget how to do like 9 things in order to make room in my brain to soak it all in. One of the best nights of my life.
@@nicolalamberti1845 I would have. Was planning to. But then she fucked my best friend, some other guy, and that guys father all in the course of a week, so let's just say I got cold feet. Valerie Watchempino, look her up, she's the only one in the world with that name.
+Scott Patterson it's actually annoying how much he releases. Like you can't keep up and all the stuff is really hard to find and it fills up loads of space on my ipod
in my 60 years on this earth I have heard a lot of great guitarists (Hendrix, Satriani, Vai, Gilmour, etc.etc.)...but this guy is absolutely amazing and can play anything perfectly. I just wish I had discovered him years ago. Thank You Bucket/Brian for hours of enjoyment. You are a master of reality.
Jeffrey Bucher your sentiments match mine perfectly. The artists you mentioned are right there, along with Page, Beck & Clapton, but, for the emotions I feel most, I’ll always put on Buckethead. I discovered Brian’s music as he pulled into one of my Pandora stations a few years back, I think it was my Jeff Beck station.
The most emotional, beautiful and haunting piece of music I've EVER heard. It can move me to tears, sometimes I can't even listen to it. I'm not sure if it makes me happy or sad, but it moves me emotionally like nothing else. A true masterpiece, guitar, drums and keyboards, absolutely stunning.
everytime i listen to this song i feel like i'm on depression and his guitar is cutting through my body my heart every single notes and i want it more and more
i got lost on a random drive with a friend with this song playing i look over and say im sorry i have no idea where we are. he said, are you kidding me who cares? keep driving and put this on repeat with tears in his eyes.
I don't think I'll ever be as good as Buckethead but he inspires me to get better and I am getting better but he is so badass he puts my life in the right rhythm in the right prospect when I'm depressed I think of his music in my mind and it sets me free God bless Buckethead and band. The way he plays there are no words to be said. I'm 73 years old and loved his music and my sister is 79 years old and and loves Buckethead too.
My condolences Samantha! I hope you're in a position where you can celebrate his life and see all the ways he's touched your life, thus immortalized himself!
The most underrated piece of guitar ever recorded. Up there with For The Love of God. Pure perfection. Some of the notes in this song hit you to the deepest part of your soul. I listened to this song the night my mother died, and it will forever have a place in my heart. Flawless.
I'm 31 years old. Listened to a lot of damn good guitar music in my life, from Zeppelin to Khruangbin and many places in between, but this song is just an absolute masterpiece from beginning to end. It truly belongs in a historical music vault to be preserved as one of the best examples of mastery of not just playing an instrument, but using that instrument to express and evoke emotion through music. The pacing and composition of this song is exquisitely crafted and the guitar phrasing is so masterfully written. It's gripping and enthralling, but gentle and melancholy at the same time. Count yourself blessed to have heard some of the greatest moments of sound created by humans.
Hans Salazar Buckethead is all music genres and bands wrapped up in his hands. Only other underated legend is Erez Eisen of Infected Mushroom. Only two I listen to
All these soulless, fake people to be exact. I'm sure it hurts someone like Buckethead, one of the most pure and gentle souls to ever grace this planet.
I mean, of course the guitar takes the spotlight, but can we show some love to the rest of this track's production? The drums, if programmed, are programmed *very* well, and the Wurly in the back with the left-to-right panning is just gorgeous. The song slots together like a sad, jazzy, bluesy, Pink Floyd-esque puzzle.
All of the instruments on this album are played by real people. There’s Travis Dickerson on keyboards, Buckethead on guitar and bass, and Pinchface on drums.
It's been 10 years now and I'm still here. I crave all kinds of music, it's always shifting but I'm still HERE. My love for buckethead will never change. From the soothing to the chaotic tracks, just something that connects to me.
7:08 Holy shit. That is fucking beautiful. Its just so good. Its a jazzy synth that has blues to it. Fucking great all the musicians did well. Not just Buckethead but Travis and who ever is behind that synth. Drums as well.
@@alexedsell8138 people actually say that I'm like okay you only say that because the only song you know by buckethead is Jordan and that's only cause guitar hero Anybody who actually know buckethead would never say such things
buckethead has reached such a high level of awesomeness, it is impossible for any human to do this. He is not human at all, but a conjured form of pure awesome
i am so embarrassed. how did i miss. . .oh ya. . .wife n kids. . today is the first time i've heard him. but been lovin Primus' "Buckethead" forever.. better late than never, and i sure can use his groove these days. . . .
Never had this happen to me but i thought I'd comment since it just did. Saw your post 1 sec before 6:12 and prepped my ears for the awesomeness and it was delivered.
No words needed. This will touch your soul and bring you to deepest levels of your heart. You can recognize something remarkable if you hear it. Props to Buckethead.
I'm in awe...amazing. Santana gave him high praises! Just recently heard about him, where have I been? I want all 298 LPs, holy crap. He's been busy, lol. I'm impressed that he can cross genres & still sound fantastic!
I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN I HEARD THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME. BUT UNTIL TODAY I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW THIS GUY CAN COMPOSE SOMETHING SO DEEP? BUCKET IT IS REALLY NOT OF THIS WORLD, IT HAS NO OTHER EXPLANATION I JUST HAVE THANK YOU FOR BEING ALIVE TO SEE SEE AND HEAR THIS. THANKS !! BUCKET
This is not guitar. This is a signing soul culminating with ultimate technique and a gift I would sell my soul to acheive. Between Soothsayer and this, please don't stop there. One of the very best.
I've never heard anyone ANYONE play the blues like Brian. I have so much respect for BB king . Chuck Berry . howling wolf and all the ORIGINALS but not even they can touch the soul and power this guy has. a true God a real religion.
No words to describe. Masterpiece. Going to see him may 18th at Culture room. Cant wait MDMA will be the perfect accompaniment. I am psyched. Happiness beyond this dimension
Listening to this while Im with "friends" everyone is so caught up in their phones, and nobody listens. If you feelbthe same as I do then just know you're not alone. Stay strong and keep living people ♡♡♡♡
I'm very thankful for those who have discovered this guy, you are listening to the best guitarist of this dimension. Atemporal guitarist. Will never be forgotten.
I once made a kill-switch button from splicing my amp cord and attaching a certain wire to a grill ignitor button which I put inside of a black box and stuck to my guitar's pick-guard with double sided tape and I learned it all from a tutorial online lol :D
Man, I'm 49.. His creativity really keeps me going. Hey Brothers and Sister, if you love Buckethead, then we have so much in common. I can't seem to get enough of this guy and his music. Maybe we need to create a Buckethead social community. Maybe one where we are online video chatting while Buckethead is playing ..Maybe Buckethead can join in every once in a while..
There is no other Guitarist, or other Musician for that matter that comes remotely close to this brilliance. Buckethead is on a Level that we will never ever get to experience from anyone else ever again. Enjoy him while your here.
This song gives me a lot of nostalgia. Somewhat it remembers me of my teens days listening to Pink Floyd, trying to escape reality. It makes me remember who I were and am. Really moving.
Ok Brian yes. So I just watched the interview with his therapist. It's truly mind blowing to listen to him speak and try to explain things. Brian is trying so so hard, bless and help this genius universe please!!!!! Anyways it's crucial to listen to him in that because now I can understand his music better, ohh don't worry I have like 80 of his solo cds and like 60 project cds. He is Extremely shy and the kindest old innocent childlike soul, he constantly afraid of things such as, what people think of him, judging, or what his audience thinks after each song, etc etc. Anxiety and the like. The mask is not a gimmick, it is his coping mechanism. The eye holes are even screened over so he barely sees anyone(he says they all just look like ghosts). He does not want to see crowd or individual reaction. His therapist in the interview even goes over the Dusting technique he taught Brian and he uses it constantly to cope. Brian is probably one of the most intense cases of these mind things, that many have, so it is virtually miraculous he performs. He is trying to work things out so hard. He is sad because both his parents have passed, he stated his parents used to love to hear him play, so when he makes music he feels like they are with him etc. He communicates with music. This explains his practice discipline like no other guitarist. Brian said.... "I have a long way to go". (His guitaring). He said in the interview he had a great childhood etc and never mentioned any abuse etc, just his parents and his heart issues and his back problems(posture from being tall and an introvert, so all his life hunched over to not be, recognized/seen". He is a person that worries, is afraid, does no drugs or booze. In this song I can now feel him correctly and understand why he pours so much into his work, it's his mouth. Watch the interview fans, stop calling him Buckethead, it's not a funny thing. He is Brian. ❤❤❤❤
Me and my buddy Jack used to put this on in the pizza shop we worked in and we'd both sing along with the guitar, because we knew every note, every phrase. Pretty silly moments because neither of us could hit the really high notes, but we'd try, and we'd make faces at each other. We got caught in the moment by customers more than once. Good times.
Esta cancion la descubri el año pasado, y es la unica que puedo decir que me llega adentro del corazon, me produce una mezcla de emociones que nisiquiera puedo describir... gracias por existir buckethead
Only 1.3 million views after 14 years? Considering the sublime and transcendent beauty shimmering from every note of this masterpiece, that doesn't seem like a lot. The guitar mastery is one thing, but the intense emotionality is on a whole other level. The goal of these musicians is clear. They are trying to reach you on the deepest levels of your heart and soul. A BIG shout out to the OTHER players! This is definitely a GROUP effort. And how many drummers could keep up like that! Too Many Humans is a great title, but to me this is the Requiem for Humanity.
buckethead said this to me back in 2007 when i saw him in concert. I asked him for any words of wisdom and he said this "there are lots of ways to getting to the top, everyone there had their own way of getting there, I got there by being so weird every one had to see me. But the best way to be rembered is to be kind." That has stuck with me and always will... i posted this here caz this is my Fav Buckethead song, here his guitar realy sings... hope this quote sticks with u
I made this experiment with a couple of my friends who are into rock/metal but they never heard of Buckethead. The look in their face when they realize what I have just showed them it’s priceless !!
