+Andrew Westhoff I actually think he's a better blues player in many ways, like some of his live versions of "Whitewash" are so smooth and amazing. He's a very talented guy for sure!
I genuinely like the fact that bucket videos 99% dont have negativity in the comments or many dislikes.For example this one,it has only 16 dislikes in what?11years?That says a lot about the artist and the community itself
I don't know if you're aware, but there is a studio version of this song, called "separate sky" but the truth is I prefer the version in this live video 100 times over.
My guess as to the people who dont like his videos is that they are impatient first timers. This is just one of hundreds of brilliant pieces by a master.
I was at this concert. That was a good show. A lot of times at Buckethead shows he will compile rhythms from multiple songs and just kind of improvise a song and solo
its 12:30 am, and after watching this all i wanna do is grab my guitar and just jam... I could have sat down and looked up any metal artist but Buckethead is always the most motivating for me
I can imagine how great it would be going to one of his shows and he hear him playing a bunch of music you don't know and be amazed by how great it all is.
The most creative guitarist I have ever heard. He had to of played at least 1000 licks in that solo and the way he brings it all together is mind blowing.
i've seen buckethead twice, listened to most all his recorded music, watched a TON of his vids on youtube, and this still is my favorite song/solo of his
Everyday I listen to this. It still makes me smile with joy. Interested at bobaroo there are like ten I've listened everyday for over a year. He's my favorite artist. All tine.
What a beautiful song...i love about big b so much material...havent heard this in 5 yrs or more...discovered him via youtube maybe years or more ago...by far favorite musician ever...listen to music everyday at least 4hrs i listen to tons of genres etc...but big b is major part of playlist...i still havent heard all his stuff...thats amazing!!!!...be thankful all the hard work hes put in and to actually listen and put in effort that pebber brown taught him among others im sure...his fretting hand to me really shows pebber...but i could be all wrong about that...
he has long reached the point where every note he plays is as amazing as it possibly can be, and every melody he creates is absolutely unique and perfect. thats why when ever he picks up a guitar, the best possible thing that could be produced with said instrument always comes out no matter what he plays. thats why he has released so much awesome material and has so much more unreleased, anything he plays would've made any other musician a god. but he does it like its nothing, over and over.
The beat is triumphant but the chords and harmonies feel so empty and melancholic. It's such a confusing and powerful piece. Buckethead really can be one hell of a musician.
I wish Buckethead still played live shows with a drummer/bassist. For the past decade he has performed with a laptop playing the backing track and it just don't compare to his older shows like this.
Yes it would be a less interesting world without him and let's hope he's getter better day by day. I can also relate to BH's heart health concerns as I've recently had issues with an irregular heart rate and high blood pressure and I'm only one year older than Brian but, fortunately I've been able to keep it in check with some meds but of course my situation is not nearly as serious as his heart arrhythmia issues. On a kind of related note have you seen/listened to his recent interview/therapist's podcast, well in the interview he discusses his more recent heart problems and also the back issues that he had back in 2009 to which I had personally witnessed him falling off of the back of the stage at his KC, MO Crossroads show that same year, what had happened is that the venue's security guard was leading him from behind the stage with a flashlight and I guess it was so dark that BH didn't see the edge of the ramp that he was walking on and fell off about 4-5 feet up or so and I know that doesn't sound like a lot but, if you've ever unknowingly stepped off from the second to last step of a set of stairs thinking it was the last step then you know how jarring that can be on your back, now it didn't at the time seem to effect his show but I'm sure that it didn't help his back condition any and it could've even been one of the reasons that he ended up taking that long touring break right after that particular tour. Sorry this reply was so long but I kind of get a bit OCD when it comes to Buckethead ;)
k24skin I did listen to the Podcast, it was a great interview. I respect Brian even more after that. Thanks for the info on how BH hurt his back. I was wondering how he hurt his back 👽
I've seen him 9 times now and have seen him perform several unknown or unreleased songs but, this one is one of my favs and I would love to see him release a studio version of this but, I personally feel that his live performances of his songs always tend to offer up more emotion and spontaneity than any studio recorded version would but, if I could pick my dream Buckethead concert set list of any of his previous live performances out here on YT then here's My Dream Set List/Top 10: Opener would be "Help!

Buckethead IS huge to me and the rest of his fans. I highly recommend one of his live shows if you ever get the chance. He is one of the last true artists/musicians and bc of that I hope he never gets "huge" bc once an artist does they always lose sight of their roots and why they got into music in the first place.
l'll stand there for free... hell, l would even PAY for be there, just watching the greatest guitar god that ever existed jamming live. Man, l never thought l would live to see someone surpass Hendrix, Page and Beck... wowowowow.
hahaha mrye7 khdam w kantmzek l buckethead chwia katban lia darija nari lmgharba fine ma mchiti katl9ahom :D ça fait plaisir de voir que kaynin lmgharba li ki3erfoh
Haha indeed asat.. but as a guitar player and i study guitar theory i should have a knowledge including the famous artists that gave a lot to music Like Malmsteen,satriani,petrucci,stev bb k ing hendrix and so on :D mhm that's so normal and there's a bunch of morrocan people that loves buckethead but from my point of view the one the play's guitar will understand him a lot from the regular crowd
