The NEW Buckethead Thread

[ARS0NiiST]

does anybody know if buckethead uses used buckets or or new ones? also, does anybody have suggestions for a good cd to get by him?

listen to kalidascalp and colma

[nostrings]

Can somebody please tab all of Spell Of The Gypsies? I've been looking for the backing (acoustic/nylon) guitar for ages, but all I can find are the first 40 second and lead guitar.

Might want to check this site again man. One was uploaded today.

[Recon _/]

could any1 tell me what kind of pedals is bucket using in soothsayer ?

[Baby Joel]

Distortion, probably a compressor, wah, delay, maybe chorus, and I think whammy, not sure though. I haven't listened to the song in ages.

Probably awesome. :)

[Baby Joel]

Title is win.
And holy crap. In one month? My goodness, he loves ripping out the albums.

[Siggelump]

Title is win.
And holy crap. In one month? My goodness, he loves ripping out the albums.
Yeah, it is three to four albums a year. :)

Last one came in january, this one in may and next one will probably come in the autumn, but who knows. At least he's productive. :rolleyes:

[Baby Joel]

After looking at the track-list, I'm thinking this is going to be avant-garde and metal. Probably some rock shred as well.

[Minkaro]

I'm convinced he only goes to the studio to say hello to people, and comes out with an album made.

Hope this is a good album after the disappointing (IMO) Slaughterhouse and Albino Slug.

[Penn100]

Albino wasn't really a disappointment. I mean, there was plenty of stuff to improve, but two of his best songs came out of that album- The Redeem Team and Siege Engine. Slaughterhouse on the Prairie wasn't very good though.

Hmm, the cover looks similar to Electric Tears imo.

[Minkaro]

Two good songs on an album on thirteen is a 15% success rate.

[Penn100]

True dat.

But then, other than Bansheebot, Electric Tears, and Colma, it's not like Buckethead's albums tend to have a 100% success rate, those three are among his most balanced albums, with mostly equally good songs, but if you look at... say Crime Slunk Scene, it's not that top notch with all songs.

[Minkaro]

Yeah, I get you. It just felt to me like he gave up halfway through Albino Slug though.

[ChaosMaker911]

the way i see it, his albums usually have one or two great songs, and a lot of weird stuff (or crap...)

but the man comes out with like 4 albums a year, so its fine. Its part of what makes buckethead buckethead. I feel like hes more dedicated to just making music than anyone else.

[Siggelump]

but if you look at... say Crime Slunk Scene, it's not that top notch with all songs.
I find Crime Slunk Scene to be awesome, didn't think so at first though but it's not as weird as it seems the first time.

Btw, I hope you guys have heard the extended Forgotten Trail from Albino Slug which came up on iTunes a while back.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsoeLtAMb90

(You could always support him by buying it though) :)

It's awesome, pretty much 8 minutes of awesome soloing.

Edit: AWESOME!

[Baby Joel]

I prefer Forgotten Trail to Siege Engine. Siege Engine sounds too much like Soothsayer to my ears.
I love Redeem Team, Pink Eye, Electric Bell Blanket, and Symmetrical Slug.
But I think Albino Slug as a whole resembled Crime Slunk Scene too much.

[Siggelump]

I love Redeem Team, Pink Eye, Electric Bell Blanket, and Symmetrical Slug.
But I think Albino Slug as a whole resembled Crime Slunk Scene too much.
Yeah, if the extended version would be on the album, it would probably be the best song on there, but Forgotten Trail on Albino Slug is only 1 minute long.. Definitely feels like something is missing on that version. :)

However, Siege Engine is still awesome.

[Minkaro]

I love the rapid hammer-on part in Siege Engine.

[Baby Joel]

Yeah, if the extended version would be on the album, it would probably be the best song on there, but Forgotten Trail on Albino Slug is only 1 minute long.. Definitely feels like something is missing on that version. :)

However, Siege Engine is still awesome.
:confused: The one I have is eight minutes. I guess I got the extended version. :p:

[Siggelump]

:confused: The one I have is eight minutes. I guess I got the extended version. :p:
Yeah!

On the album (physical form) it's 1 minute, but he released the one I linked to on iTunes a couple of weeks ago (or more) with an awesome solo. :)

Album version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRTmnYK_lko

:)

[EEE_ELLL_OHH]

Goddddddddd, 2:13-2:24 of In Search of Inbred Mountain is just amazing! Definately one of my favourite Buckethead moments of all time...

[Nacho Cheese!]

Slaughterhouse on the Prairie wasn't very good though.




I think it was/is fine. That's just my opinion. Obviously my opinion is quite different then yours. :D

[Siggelump]

I think it was/is fine. That's just my opinion. Obviously my opinion is quite different then yours. :D
Yeah, I like it as well. However, since Lebron and Lebron's Hammer got released earlier than the album for free it may seem like those songs didn't count as songs on the album, if you know what I'm saying. :haha And by that, they judge it by all the other songs.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Yeah, they were about the best on the album but the rest of the album is still fine.

[Penn100]

Yup, can agree that the Lebron suite were the best songs. Didn't really like the album very much. Premontition was pretty cool, tho.

I would really enjoy another Electric Tears'ish album, with a following tour. That would be friggen' sweet. But everything that Big B makes is worth listening to.

[MRavioli]

^ I have a feeling his new album will be mostly ambient.

[Penn100]

Yeah, it's not very likely that it will be another semi-acoustic one, but it will be worth listening to, of that I'm sure.
Anyone plan on getting it?

[Nacho Cheese!]

I would really enjoy another Electric Tears'ish album, with a following tour. That would be friggen' sweet. But everything that Big B makes is worth listening to.


I would personally love that. He needs to make another slower album like Electric Tears or Colma. Even if there isn't a tour after words the album itself would be worth it.

[Siggelump]

The album seems to be very good, the "weirdness" seems to be kept to a minimum. Someone posted a review of the album on Buckethead.tk:

http://bucketheadland.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=bucketsolo&action=display&thread=18386

(It's in the first post, so I didn't copy+paste it if anyone doesn't want to read it. :))

And yes, I'm definitely getting it.

[Baby Joel]

Album's on YouTube now. :)
I love it so far.

[Geek UK]

Loving this record.

It's on Demonoid. I've uploaded it to Mininova and TPB too, but I'm a bit of a torrent noob so not sure if it'll work etc.

It's like a mix between his softer stuff with a little bit of heavy riffage in there too.

[myearshurt]

Who does the voiceover on 'Last Train to Bucketheadland?'

[Minkaro]

I've only been able to find 10 songs on Youtube, but I'm listening to them in a quicklist now. I'll edit my thoughts in:

Broken Mirror - I love the really understated lead playing in this. 3:15 is amazing.

Big D's Touch - This is really nice. Definitely something for a relaxing playlist.

Separate Sky - Moving away from the ballads now. Awesome solo, I love when the riff underneath it speeds up. The killswitch part is cool too.

Dawn Appears - Those...I think it's keyboards...in the background at the start give this song a beautiful atmospheric feel. More understated lead playing too.

A Real Diamond In The Rough - Whilst the earlier songs were nice and relaxing, this one's unfortunately a bit dull until about halfway through. The tone on the solo is amazing.

Sundial - Over too fast for me to make my mind up.

Squid Ink - Nice and relaxing. There's an odd air of menace about the last riff though.

Four Rivers - I think now is a good time to point out how good the drumming is. Whereas the drums almost distracted you from the rest of the music on Colma, they sit wonderfully underneath the guitar here.

Allowed to Play - Again a short one, but what's there is simply stunning.

Formless Present - The...what do you call it...wibbly wobbly effect (I can't remember the name...Flange?) makes it strangely unsettling. It's not full scale Buckethead weirdness though. This could fit on a Death Cube K album...shut up, I know he is Buckethead, you know what I mean <_<

Squid Ink Part 2 - Not online yet.

The Miracle of Surrender - Not online yet.

The Return of Captain Eo - Almost like ... on Population Override, a nice bluesy piece to lift the mood. Wait, blues lifting the mood? MADNESS!



Obviously I'm missing two songs there, but this is an absolutely fantastic album. There isn't a single song I dislike. I'm hoping The Miracle of Surrender is a Machete-esque song, because I think another really good solo would be brilliant.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I love the album so far :) It is better then his last...five or so releases in my opinion.

I was a little disappointed with the album he did with Travis(I wanted another chicken noodle album :( ) but this makes up for it.

[MRavioli]

When i read that the album was dedicated to his legal representative on Wikipedia, I couldn't help but imagine Buckethead in court pleading not guilty to burning down a chicken coop

[Penn100]

I love the new album, even though I haven't heard two of the songs (no Youtube uploads). Really like it, it's got that moody Electric Tears'ish atmosphere, cool to hear Big B bring out the 7-string (detuned 6-string?), too. And, as Minkaro mentioned, the drums are kept more at a reasonable level on this album, I thought they were a little too loud and accented on Colma.

I sure am gonna put this one in my cart when I make my next TDRS order. Great job by Big B!

I love the new album too.

The Miracle of Surrender is amazing just like the others. And Squid Ink Pt.2 is also nice but it is short. Only a minute long...I have downloaded the album but I have already bought it...just a matter of time till it arrives :D

[Penn100]

Dude, upload it! I need to hear the last two songs :p:

Since I live overseas, it will take quite some time for the album even after I've ordered it, and I just won't download B's albums.

[Minkaro]

I've only been able to find torrents :sad:

I can only rapidshare here :cry:

[Nacho Cheese!]

Give me a few. I'll put up a megaupload of it(I hate rapidshare) and I'll upload the two missing songs onto youtube.

Edit: Actually, I wont be megauploading it here for ya'...its against the UG rules.

[Penn100]

I get ya, I just wanted to hear the two missing songs on Youtube. :cheers:
I'm gonna get the album anyway.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I get ya, I just wanted to hear the two missing songs on Youtube. :cheers:

Yeah, I was going to upload it for Mink. I am going to upload them on Youtube though. I am in the process of that at the moment.

[Baby Joel]

I'm going to listen to it on Youtube non-stop until a legal MP3 becomes avaliable. I hate getting things overseas...

[Minkaro]

I'd buy it, but I really can't afford to buy anything extra atm.

I definitely will when I can though. I do have a Youtube downloader thing I could use.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Hey Mink, check your inbox.

You're a hero. A king of UG'ers.

A diamond in the rough <_<

[toine]

i'm tabbing ' allowed to play'
a really nice song. it's played on a 7string with a clean tone

[Baby Joel]

I didn't think Buckethead played seven strings.

[toine]

I didn't think Buckethead played seven strings.
he sure does!
listen to 'allowed to play' at .021
you'll hear the low bass note he plays (a#) on the 7th string
i think he also used a 7string on the 'Cuckoo clocks of hell' album
not 100% sure though :)

[Baby Joel]

I thought it was just a drop-tuned 6 string. It would work going that low, since he uses a baritone neck. :shrug: The only way we'll tell is if he plays those songs live...

[Brian 1.0]

Listening to Big D's Touch. If the whole album is like this, it may beat electric tears as best trance album ever.

[toine]

I thought it was just a drop-tuned 6 string. It would work going that low, since he uses a baritone neck. :shrug: The only way we'll tell is if he plays those songs live...
i'm pretty sure it's a 7string tuned down half a step
at 0.11 you can clearly hear it's an open string he plays
so it can't be tuned so low, just half step :

e--6----------------

[Minkaro]

Sorry to divert attention away from the fantastic new album, but I'm just listening to Shin Terai's "Unison," which Bucket plays guitar on, and it is fantastic. I've decided to put my new Buckethead stuff into a small playlist, which culminates in the new album. The playlist includes:

Shin Terai - Unison
Science Faxtion - Living In Another Frequency
Zillatron - Lord of the Harvest
and of course: Buckethead - A Real Diamond In The Rough.

[nostrings]

Wow, I just got Buckethead's new album, it is INCREDIBLE. Anyone know who Big D is?

[Baby Joel]

Likely a name for Travis Dickerson.

[toine]

is anyone else having trouble to log in to 'Buckethead.tk' ?

[Nacho Cheese!]

Likely a name for Travis Dickerson.

People where rambling on youtube about it being a female.

[Baby Joel]

:haha. I forgot it was an actual song. I was thinking that it was who the album was dedicated to or something.
Since it's the song, it's likely NOT Travis Dickerson, and likely a female.

[Minkaro]

Knowing Bucket, it's probably Walt Disney.

[slashnmash]

I've just began listening to the new album. It's beautiful.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Knowing Bucket, it's probably Walt Disney.

:haha

that could be true too. I think it is a woman though (wo)man. :peace:


Who is going to tab it out though? I know someone is. It wont be me. I can't stay focused on one thing on guitar at all.

[Baby Joel]

Tab what out? The whole album? I'll do my best.

[ZylitoL]

I could live with Big D's touch.

It starts off Electric Gypsy-ish, which I think is the best part. I'd rather have this stuff than any Soothsayers or Nottingham Laces.

[Baby Joel]

+1. I love his quieter albums loads more than his rockier ones.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I was talking about Big B's touch. But the whole album is fine. :p:

[Baby Joel]

So far (With the five seconds I've spent trying to learn it), I know it's on the key of B Major.
:p:
Hey, I'm getting there.

[Nacho Cheese!]

So far (With the five HOURS I've spent trying to learn it), I know it's on the key of B Major.
:p:

Fixed....


but on a serious note...I really don't think I have anything to say :D

[Teeth2483]

I could die listening to this album and I'd be happy...Peaceful and content at least :P

[Minkaro]

Lol, that's reminded me of a quote that's always made me chuckle

"Buckethead would like to be buried in Disneyland. Preferably after he dies."

[Freepower]

http://qfg.info/misc/destroyallmonsters.txt

Amazing interview with Brian Carrol rather than Buckethead!

Tell me if you've seen it before. :p:

[Nacho Cheese!]

I have. If you look back many many many pages you will see it posted before :p:



"It isn't about using four fingers on both hands. That's just the technique I use to get there."

"I practice a lot, but when I'm improvising I don't think about any of that. In basketball you shoot 50 baskets in practice so that in
the game, it's instant. As long as you have the control, you can just do it -
BAM!".

two favorite quotes of the interview.

[Raijouta]

Speaking of 7-strings, I think he used one for 'Plastination Station' off Inbred Mountain, which would explain why he's so reluctant to play it live.

[Baby Joel]

http://qfg.info/misc/destroyallmonsters.txt

Amazing interview with Brian Carrol rather than Buckethead!

Woah, I've never seen that before, and that's just one awesome interview! Proof that Buckethead isn't a schizophrenic or autistic person.

[Gofer boy]

Accordin o wikipedia the new album's dedicated to Stan Diamond, so thats who I think Big D is.

Also, which Buckethead album is best for someone just getting into Buckethead.

[Baby Joel]

Depends, what kind of music do you like right now?

[Brian 1.0]

This is Big D (Big Donna,) Buckethead's girlfriend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHvP8WKY1wM (2:26)

[Gofer boy]

Depends, what kind of music do you like right now?
Well, I listen to anything that falls under the labels of rock or Metal, except maybe alot of pop-punk pop-rock. Currently my favorite bands are Rush, Iron Miaden, Metallica, Nile, and Nirvana if that helps.

[Baby Joel]

You'd probably like the Coockoo Clocks of Hell, Albino Slug, Crime Slunk Scene, Elephant Man's Alarm Clock. Maybe the Giant Robot NTT album as well.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Alright, have fun. I'm working on the Animal Behavior outro.


Looks like someone beat you to it Brian.

[Gofer boy]

You'd probably like the Coockoo Clocks of Hell, Albino Slug, Crime Slunk Scene, Elephant Man's Alarm Clock. Maybe the Giant Robot NTT album as well.
Cool thanks, how about Enter the Chicken, I'm drawn to that because of Nottingham Lace, which I absolelutely adore. Same goes for Soothsayer on Crime Slunk Scene.

[Baby Joel]

Enter the Chicken has some pretty cool stuff on it. It's mainly Buckethead's guitar + awesome vocal work.
My best suggestion would be to find an album that looks interesting, then search for the songs on Youtube. Most of them are up by now.

[Raijouta]

Just getting around to listening to A Real Diamond in the Rough...

Holy ****, Big D's Touch is amazing. I like the whole acoustic-y vibe the songs have; a welcome change. In general I think it sounds alot different from most of his previous stuff... alot more "fresh", if you will.

[Baby Joel]

Mm...Just learned Big D's Touch. :) I'm not nearly as fluid and smooth as Buckethead is in it, but it's so much fun to play.

[slashnmash]

Hey guys, I did a little improvisation to All in the Waiting. It is such an amazing song and I thought you people may like. Not as good as the original unfortunately but I had fun making it. Its on my profile.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I have a question for those of you who play the Jordan solo. How do you do the guitar break right before the solo? I play it by tapping my fret hand fingers on the first two and then tap with my picking hand on the third but I'm curious as to how rest of you play it.

[Baby Joel]

You mean the tritone interval stuff, right between the verse/chorus and the solo? I do 3-string sweeps.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Yeah, that part.

I don't think sweeps sound right. It has a tap sound to it. Sweeps would be easier to do(cleanly) though.

[Baby Joel]

When he does it live though (The GH version live) he sweeps it.

[ChaosMaker911]

for that part, buckethead uses hybrid picking, which is what i do also.

for each series of 3 notes, pick the first one, pluck the next with your second finger, and the third note with your third finger.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Yeah, I just watched some videos and he hybrids it. BUT he frets like he is sweeping.

[Baby Joel]

:)
Final Wars intro is so fun to play. :)

[Penn100]

Buckethead 09 video!
Sounds great, and look what's back, an all white Les Paul!

[ZylitoL]

^Cool vid, good quality, great tone and sweet chops.

Good idea also, to cut the ending shred solo in length........too bad it's still more or less of a jam session with him doodling the usual PG scalar licks.

[Baby Joel]

:D
Thanks so much for showing that! Great video! Much better than any of the 08 tours.

[Geek UK]

New tour only album too. 'Forensic Follies'.

Two in a month. Madness. Can't wait to hear it.

[Nacho Cheese!]

:eek:

This is madness...

(thought about turning it into the the sparta thing only with BUCKETHEAD LAND!! :p: )

[MRavioli]

Judging from the names on the track listing, Buckethead integrated his acoustic/ambient chill songs onto Diamond and then put all his idiosyncratic weird stuff on this one.

And everyone thought we were getting a break from the absurdity.

[Geek UK]

Says on the Wiki that it has a similiar sound to some of the recent Dan Monti productions, so could be another ambient style album. Probably not though.

Got the cover on there too now.

[Raijouta]

Am I the only one who noticed his hair in that video? He's kinda got a Muslim woman thing going on there... like he's wearing a hijab.

I liked the use of Whammy in the second "chorus"! Bucket should use it more live.

Seems like he's not using the twin diamond plate Rectos anymore either... looks like he's using a Stiletto Deuce with a backup? I like the change. Also seems like a new Les Paul, this one has silver hardware and different killswitches. It looks "cleaner" than his previous models, too.

[slashnmash]

Will Buckethead be in the UK anytime soon?

[grenade24]

Ok, so far I have only heard a few Buckethead songs, and all of them were great. I want to get a few of his albums on my iPod. Where should I start?

[MRavioli]

The way I see it, the majority of his music can be divided into weird stuff and ambient music.

Ambient-Colma and A Real Diamond in the Rough. If you really liked these two, go for Electric Tears or Death Cube K

Weird Stuff/Shred-The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell, Giant Robot, Monsters & Robots

Decoding Bansheebot is riff-heavy

[toine]

could anyone help me the title of this song? it said 'collision' but that's wrong :s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT2zb1BzhVw

[Minkaro]

According to the comments, Aunt Suzie.

I'd help more, but Youtube vids are refusing to load for me atm.

[Penn100]

^ That IS Aunt Suzie indeed.

thank you :)
i'll try to do an improv solo over the beautiful rhytm ^^

does anyone know the guitar settings for 'Earth Heals Herself' or 'Aunt Suzie' ?
i have a rp250. can anyone help me get a similar tone for these songs?

[Baby Joel]

What amp and guitar are you using?

[toine]

a low budget 15 watt amp ^^ but with the rp250 it sounds awesome. and my guitar is an OLP

[ironmanben]

I think he looks ridiculously stupid wearing a KFC bucket on his head. I just can't take him seriously.

[slashnmash]

I think he looks ridiculously stupid wearing a KFC bucket on his head. I just can't take him seriously.

Just let the music do the talking.

[Raijouta]

He hasn't worn the KFC bucket since 2006.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I think the point was just a bucket period. But personally I think the bucket is quite irrelevant.

[evolve215]

Anyone go to the concert last night in NYC? It was amazing. He played alot of his new stuff that I didnt know, but I loved his new songs. I shoulda picked up one of his new CDs. Does anyone know what the song he opened up with was? Thanks.

Yea the show was ****ing great. I was right in the front.

[Geek UK]

Not impressed with Forensic Follies so far... :/

[Baby Joel]

Forensic Follies is essentially a remix album, which is why it came out so quickly after ARDITR. I won't be getting it. :/

Man I wish he'd come to London.

[nostrings]

I wish he would come to Canada... it's not that far from the U.S...



Also, just wondering, but how hard do you guys think it would be to get Buckethead to sign my guitar? :p:

[MRavioli]

i imagine he would be happy to do it, but what the hell would he write on there? He obviously doesn't use the conventional alphabet

[ChaosMaker911]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_NPORNQU9c

another video from the concert, this time of his nunchuck/robot dance

Speaking of which, does anyone know the setlist from the show?

[Siggelump]

Also, just wondering, but how hard do you guys think it would be to get Buckethead to sign my guitar? :p:
He would probably do it without a doubt, however, you're probably lucky if you run into him. :haha: Unless he would come to a NAMM or so, but that seems to be a chapter from his past. :)

[skaterskagg1]

Do any of you hardcore Buckethead fans out there know what kinda picks Buckethead uses? I heard he uses jazz III's but I've also heard he uses Tortex picks. Anyone know?

[Penn100]

I believe Wikipedia says .73 or .83 or so Tortex.

[Baby Joel]

I've also heard he uses .73 Dunlop Nylons.
Who knows? Besides himself obviously.

[Siggelump]

http://pici.se/pictures/VQXlZslOb.jpg

This is one of his picks, but I don't know if he uses those exclusively. :) Would be pretty annoying to jump between picks all the time though!

[RockUAway]

You would think after this much time he would have custom picks!

He could make a killer custom pick

[tweeb]

I wish Buckethead could come to Finland someday :(.

Yeah, thats true. And on his binge and grab gear page thingy, it says he uses mainly jim dunlop tortex 1.14mm(the one in the photo) or a big stubby 2mm

Amazing.

Been watching it obsessively over the last few days.

[Baby Joel]

That was the song that first got me into Buckethead. :) I love it. :)

[Nacho Cheese!]

I've always liked Whitewash more live then studio.

[P-H-O-B-I-A]

which of bucketheads songs are the most emotional, like not shred?? i know electric tears and colma are both very emotional albums...any others??

[DaFjory]

^ Too Many Humans, from the Population Override album. Not much shred there. Groovy stuff, and very 'emotional' (the song, anyway).

[MRavioli]

Binge and Grab, Soothsayer, Nottingham Lace at some points.

[Siggelump]

I Love My Parents is very emotional. :)

It's on Giant Robot and Bucketheadland vol. 1.

I can't bother to listen through all these songs right now, but at least they have emotional parts (IMO):

Big D's Touch - A Real Diamond In The Rough
Premonition - Slaughterhouse on the Prairie
Forgotten Trail - Albino Slug
Dawn at the Deuce - Albino Slug
Lotus Island - Inbred Mountain
Lurker at the Threshold (part 1-4) - The Elephants Mans Alarm Clock
Found Body - Dawn of the Deli Creep

Songs from Acoustic Shards
Songs from A Real Diamond In The Rough

The shred is pretty much non-existant!

aaaaand lots of more songs! :)

[EEE_ELLL_OHH]

Sea of Expanding Shapes definitely!

Anybody else freaking love the Giant Robot NTT album too?! I thought it was immense and way underrated.

[Minkaro]

Spell of the Gypsies.

[Geek UK]

All of Electric Tears, Colma and most of A Real Diamond. Population Override is a nice bluesy record too for the most part.

Pepper's Ghost is awesome.

[Raijouta]

The Interworld and the New Innocence/Animal Behaviour tends to be quite emotional when Bucket plays it live.

[benonbass1]

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics for Binge and Grab?

Buckethead did a version with vocals with the deli creeps i think it was.
I found one video, but it was too bad quality to make out the lyrics, and google is not helping.

[MapOfYourHead]

^this has been asked countless times and from what ive seen, nobody knows.

[BucketheadJordn]

buckethead has lots of good songs, he is the best in the world obviously!
his best albums are in my opinion;
monsters and robots
electric tears
bucketheadland
kaliedascalp(dont know the spelling)

my fav song is soothsayer, im having it played at my funeral, jordan is good aswell, which coincidently is my name
also look up;
nottingham lace
brewer in the air

BUT REMEMBER!!!:
all buckethead songs are amazing

some ofhis songs are quite weird though, i like to think of them as fan songs, cause his weird songs tend to be an aquired taste

Binge and Grab

Girl came over, to let me have a binge
Ill get that girl you know, ill binge until she twitches
oooo yeah gotta give that girl a binge and grab

That's the one for me
I must say
She just keeps on looking, walking, talking, and a smiling my way
ohhh yeah gotta give that girl a binge and grab

i like to walk yeah i doooo
thats the way i like it baby
oooooooo

gotta give a binge and grab x3

I don't know if it's legit for the second verse, can't sort it out in the video.

I wonder why they didn't release this song on the "Dawn of the Deli Creeps"-album, since they remade Dream Girl etc. :)

I think its the same video I watched, cept the site i saw it on was even worse quality.

and also erm... why is that dude wearing a loin clothe??? haha :S

[MRavioli]

^It's not a loin cloth, it's a Deli apron. Hence the name.

[Penn100]

One of Buckethead's guitars was at the Hard Rock Cafe I went to yesterday :cool:
Oh, which one?
(which cafe, which guitar?)

[Minkaro]

Oh, which one?
(which cafe, which guitar?)

Hollywood, FL.

The Air Jordan one. I've got pics, which I'll upload when I get back home.

[Penn100]

Ah cool. Too bad I've never visited that one, I even used to live in Florida. And I've been to loads of them.

[Minkaro]

It was quite funny actually, because on that wall, they had Bucket's guitar, a Dimebag one, a Kerry King one, and a John 5 one.

And then finally, the star guitar, the guitar to end all guitars...Uncle Kracker.

Up until that point, I'd actually completely forgotten who Uncle Kracker was.

[Erik_Aero]

Ok so I wanted to start listening to some Buckethead, but he's got a new album every couple months... which are the "best"?

[Baby Joel]

What's your favorite music style?
There's rock, metal, funk, techno stuff, chill acoustic, ambience, bluegrass-ish acoustic, and plain out weird.

[MUUFasaurus]

Ok so I wanted to start listening to some Buckethead, but he's got a new album every couple months... which are the "best"?

I'm my opinion, his best are Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot, Colma, Electric Tears, and A Real Diamond in the Rough, in no specific order. :)

On another note, any one know of any other albums that sound like/are in the style of the ones I mentioned? Can't get enough of his chilled out sound!

[Evil_Magician]

No way dude. You can't leave out Giant Robot and Bucketheadland!!!

Essential Bucket' albums and the best IMO.

[Baby Joel]

Giant Robot (Both NTT and the other one), Population Override, The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock, Colma, Electric Tears, Real Diamond in the Rough, and Acoustic Shards are my favorites.

[Erik_Aero]

I like more metal/rock, if that helps

[EEE_ELLL_OHH]

Then i'd DEFINITELY recommend Crime Slunk Scene or Inbred Mountain in that case. Though most of his albums fit into that catergory so you could probably quite easily take a lucky dip and end up happy.

[Penn100]

^And Elephant Man's Alarm Clock

[Baby Joel]

Man, I really want him to start bringing Brain back into the studio. I mean, the drumming on the last few albums is nice, but it sounds so much better with an actual drummer and not a drum machine. Brain's additions to A Real Diamond in the Rough were incredible.
Also, I feel that Buckethead should bring in an actual bassist. And not Les Claypool or Bootsy Collins, both of which I love, but that would make the music too funk orientated. I want a bassist that can write some pretty awesome licks and backing stuff that will really help out Buckethead's lead work.

But his music is still awesome. :D

[Raijouta]

Forget the studio, I really want him to start bringing Brain back LIVE instead of his iPod... I mean, really. King James with a live band? Yes plz.

[Baby Joel]

Yeah, I don't like his backing track performances as much, compared to with Brain or Pinchface.
Brain is a better drummer, but I think Pinchface has better stage-presence.

[Raijouta]

Brain's amazing. I love his hi-hat stuff, he really adds a funk/hip hop dimension. Pinchface is a good drummer too but he doesn't really improvise that much... more keeps a solid rhythm going.

[Mr Lincolnlogs]

Hey guys. I personally think Brain is a more skilled drummer. Also, did you guys hear the rumor about the Buckethead signature from Gibson?

[thefoldarsoldar]

The Homing Beacon - a song for Michael Jackson

new song now up at bucketheadland.com.

[Siggelump]

It's beautiful.

[Geek UK]

Beautiful song. Loving it.

[Baby Joel]

^What they said. :rolleyes:
Truly brilliant.

[Siggelump]

http://www.guitarworld.com/article/buckethead_posts_guitar_tribute_to_michael_jackson

He got a notice. :) He deserves it, I've listened to the song at least 10 times today.

[Baby Joel]

:golfclap:

[Minkaro]

That song is so nice.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Wow. That was an amazing song. He just pops out so many nice songs like that, truly astonishing how he does it.

[EEE_ELLL_OHH]

Wow, that song IS really good! I'm thinking his next album might just be in dedication to the great MJ.

[Baby Joel]

Anyone know of a new album? I heard a rumor from a friend, but haven't been able to confirm it.

[Minkaro]

This IS Bucket we're talking about. He probably accidentally wrote and recorded an entire album whilst he was in the studio recording the MJ tribute.

[Siggelump]

There is probably an album coming out soon, I'm guessing for the September gig in New York (he's taking a long break somewhere before that). Could also be the gig this week, he hasn't played for a month I think.

There are a few unreleased songs from this years live tour, so there's no doubt about an album coming out, the question is when.

An album with songs like The Homing Beacon would be wonderful.

[Penn100]

I would like another shreddy album. Neither Slaughterhouse nor Files contained much shredding. And Diamond was just pure brilliance.

[Siggelump]

Yeah, it would be nice with some shred, hasn't been anything since Albino Slug really (if you count the extended Forgotten Trail as an AS-song).

However, I'm happy as long as it's melodic and pleasant to the ear, albums like Forgotten Follies and such can be a bit too much. =/

As long as he's releasing albums I'm happy though. :)

[Geek UK]

As long as it's better than FF I'm happy. That's awful. :D

[Penn100]

This. Is. Cool.

[skaterskagg1]

You can totally tell that Buckethead studied with Paul Gilbert. They both hold there picks the EXACT same way.

[Baby Joel]

And a lot of newer Buckethead shred features the PG lick. :P

[Novacane...]

Ok, Kaleidoscalp is just mental. He must've been high when we wrote it.

Oh and it's really growing on me. It most certainly does qualify as a 'challenging' listen. Ha ha.

[Siggelump]

I hope you guys have seen this guy by now, he does incredible Buckethead covers. :) The intro to this song is sick! I guess you don't think about how it is played when you only listen to it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHO-MGv8J8s

[Baby Joel]

My goodness that man is brilliant at guitar. He might even be better than Freepower. :O

[Freepower]

:grrr:
:grrr:
:grrr:















:cry:


He's a bit nippy, aye. :p:

[Baby Joel]

I reckon he can't do sweeps nearly as well as you though. But he's got the tapping down solid, and he's got some good alt picking. ;)

[Freepower]

:haha

*puffs chest out with misbegotten pride*

[bass wizard]

Anybody know if there has been any additions to Bucketheads pedalboard or changes to his gear? His sound seems to be a bit different in the newer videos on youtube so I was just wondering, i'd google it but google is about as quick as a snail on this comp =|

i saw him live recently, and he was using Mesa Stiletto's instead of Triple Rectifiers. So that could be it.

[bass wizard]

mucho gracias mi amigo:) thanks buddy!

[Raijouta]

Anyone checked out Bucket's tribute to MJ on his website?

A very quiet acoustic piece, one guitar... I like it alot. A bit of a Spanish influence, as most of his acoustic stuff tends to be. I figure he'll be playing it at his upcoming shows.

It also sort of avoids some of his more typical motifs (such as the 1-4-5 progressions) and the lick of death.

Yep yep. It has already been pointed out so it isn't really news. Look back and you will see it being mentioned. Oh and you don't have to go to his website you can just type in "The Homing Beacon Buckethead" or something with buckethead and MJ into youtube and you will get it also.

Edit: by look back I mean look at the page before this one :haha:

[Issor]

I love literally EVERY SINGLE ****ING THING i've ever heard by buckethead. He's just amazing.

Going to see him for the second time in September :)

[Linqua5150]

i love bucketheads rythyms, but the ultra fast leads, not so much. i used to e all about the leads but ive changed since then. i love songs like night of the slunk(lost interest at the solo), lotus island, binge and grab, dime tribute song etc. i love the wierd/upbeat/different/almost electronic sounding parts. pretty all but the solos. i love how the songs sound wierd but have groove and theyre upbeat and whatnot. can you guys reccomemnd me an buckethead album/ BH side project/similar artist that has the rythyms of buckethead but minimizing the ultra fast wankery solos? the one in nottingham lace was ok but in like night of the slunk i felt it really lost direction and was just notes. im more of a composition guy now than crazy solo guy is all.

[Raijouta]

Check out Decoding The Tomb of Bansheebot. It's one of his more riffy albums.

[bubbamc119]

Check out Decoding The Tomb of Bansheebot. It's one of his more riffy albums.

Agreed.

[Linqua5150]

hmm definitely fits the riffy ness standard i want, seems a little bit slow and post rock, even a little less creative than most other things ive heard by him. idk something about it is just idk maybe a little boring to me? any other suggestions? runner up perhaps? ha

edit: i think its almost as if its a little less creative and more normal in terms of composition and what not. when i think of buckethead i think of like all kinds of crazy wierd stuff. this ones sounding like some of paul gilberts instrumental stuff but with bucketheads own spin. not sayign its bad, but i like my buckethead to be weird and avant you know? it almost seems like buckethead is settling and just making riffs and stuff instead of extremely unique crazy groovy stuff you know?

[bubbamc119]

Have you heard 'Bucketheadland 2'? It's chock full of crazy ****.

Decoding the tomb took a while to grow on me, I'm talking nearly 6 months. Now it's one of my favorites. Maybe try 'Peppers Ghost', it's along the same lines.

[griffRG7321]

Solo to night of the slunk (Cd version) and 3rd solo in jumpman (CD version too) are some of his best solo's ever IMO.

It annoys me when he improvises solo's because they're never as good as on the CD.

Oh and Scraps + Mrs beasley

Saw Buckethead for my first time at All Good Festival this year in WV. Man that dude can shred. He also gave out a bag full of presents to people in the front row.

[Baby Joel]

Whitewash? Has the best improv solo he's ever done, besides the ones that aren't even real songs (Just jamming).

[griffRG7321]

I'll admit he does a good solo on that live, but im talking about the proper 'shred songs' like Nottingham lace, soothsayer, jumpman, night of the slunk, binge and grab etc.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I'll admit he does a good solo on that live, but im talking about the proper 'shred songs' like Nottingham lace, soothsayer, jumpman, night of the slunk, binge and grab etc.

Personally I don't care for his shred. It has its places where it is okay but it isn't near as nice as other shredders. His slower music though just kicks ass. Thats just my opinion though. Which I think some here are forgetting what griff said was an opinion. So he can't really be incorrect like Bub said.

[Baby Joel]

I'll admit he does a good solo on that live, but im talking about the proper 'shred songs' like Nottingham lace, soothsayer, jumpman, night of the slunk, binge and grab etc.
Completely agree with you. Although the Binge and Grab with Deli Creeps live (Its the 1990 one or whatever), Buckethead does some great improv licks and stuff.
I love listening to Buckethead's bluesier and quieter solo's improv'd. Most the Population Override and that kind of stuff.

[Pr0teZT]

Heard The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell?
That's his best heavy, chaos, riffy album imo, without real solo's on it.

[jackfromcs]

Ok, just saw Bucket in Aspen. Amazing as always, but he has seriously gotten better. Here's some copy pasta of my review from the .tk boards. I didn't want to write that all out again, lol.

---

Hey guys,

Just got back from an amazing night in Bucketheadland. I've always regarded Bucket as my favorite guitarist, but he just blew me away last night. Every song, every note so perfect. I don't think I saw one minor mistake all night.

Anyway, on to the review/story. I show up at the Belly Up around 5:00, doors open at 8:00. I meet some kids that traveled all the way from Missouri to see Buck, they were pretty cool. They ended up giving Bucket a disembodied pickle and punching nun that Big B started playing with. Pretty soon all the regulars show up from previous shows, I'm not sure if they are on the .tk but I saw snubnog there (Hi!).

On a side note I just have to say what a great atmosphere Buckethead shows are. Just chilling with other fans, it's great. You guys are the best.

The Belly Up is really a great venue, so small that if you're in the back you can feel like you are still pretty close. However this time they had some wacky projector and screen in front of the stage. They wouldn't allow us in front of it to wait and get a spot, pretty lame. This happened between Wolff and Bucket too (Nobody was happy about this). Anyway, Wolff wasn't bad. I can respect the fact that he is very creative but I guess he isn't my cup of tea.

On to Buckethead. Comes out, opens with NotS, amazes all. He did play a solo to it, albeit a short one. I'll do my best to provide a setlist, but I'm terrible at remembering all the songs.

Night of the Slunk
Crash Victim
Buckethead's Toystore
The Redeem Team
(Really starting to get fuzzy here ;D)
The Embalmer
Fountains of the Forgotten
New Intro Song 09
Siege Engine (Short Version)
New Song
(Probably another 3-4 songs before toys)
Toys
Jordan
Beat It/Medley/Jam
We Can Rebuild Him
Soothsayer and wave goodbye!
(I obviously forget about 5-6 songs at the moment, sorry guys!)

Really great show, Bucket is getting even better than before (If that's possible for him, you know, being the best and all.) I'm uploading tons of videos at the moment, all have great video quality but some are a mess audio wise. I brought a new camera to the show along with my old one and its mic left a little to be desired, sorry about that bots! I'm looking into finding a way to repair the audio, I'm going to hold off uploading those videos in the meantime. I'll try to update this post with videos as they are uploaded.

The Embalmer posted The Embalmer (LOL, how confusing) already in this section, I'm just going to repost it in here for now before the others are uploaded.

The Embalmer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0SkVWFMuZc&feature=channel_page)

Here are some pictures from the show, please excuse the watermark. In the past I had some issues with people claiming that the pictures I took were their own, overall a bad experience. Sorry about that, hope you guys understand.

Where to get Stormtropper head?
PUPs?
Toggle switch location and button for old toggle?


I know Im asking a lot...but I seriously love everything about the guitar

[Baby Joel]

You'd have to build it yourself.
Oversized LP body, Baritone neck with ebony no-inlay fretboard, white hardware (Powder coated), white body and black binding, the stormtrooper head would likely come from the head of an action figure, and just drill and hole in the back. etc etc.

I have Population Override now and it's absolutely amazing! Any similar albums by him?

[Minkaro]

Chicken Noodles, and the albums by Thanatopsis (one of the many bands he's in/was in).

[Baby Joel]

Alright, thanks. Do you know of any sties that have specs?
I doubt there are any. :/ All I know for sure are 27" scale length, mahogany body and neck, ebony fretboard, and the pickups (I think) are Dimarzio Tone Zone.


Holy mega crap. Listening to 'Time' by the Deli Creeps for the first time. AWESOME. I'm definitely getting this album.

EDIT: Listened to some other songs of the album. Why aren't any of them as good as 'Time'? :sad:

[Issor]

Yeah that's a great album!

Just a quick correction, though: He has a tone zone in the bridge and an air norton in the neck - both are DiMarzio, obviously. I believe he also has Gotoh tuners, though don't take my word for that... I'm not even sure why I think that.

I've always loved that solo but I think the album solo was much better. It didn't have any shred but it was better imo.

[MuffinBrain]

So guys, i discovered this AMAZING band, some of you surely know it, it's called Banyan, and on their "Anytime At All" album there are a lot of guest artist, including Flea and John Frusciante from the Chili Peppers :heart:, Nels Cline (excellent guitarist, you should check him out) and, yes, BUCKETHEAD.

He features in 2 songs:

Early Bird (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6-AhFNhQ0Q)

and Sputnik, which I couldn't find on Youtube :3. Both egreat songs, I even dare to say that Early Bird is one of my top 5 favorite Buckethead songs, and Sputnik's great too...

Anyway, i been learning some parts of Early Bird by ear, but I would be really grateful if someone could tab one or both of these songs...

[Minkaro]

For some reason I've just remembered that "Viggo Mortenson is Buckethead's dad" thing.

What was up with that? :confused:

[Baby Joel]

^Its funny you should mention that, because today I just got into all the Viggo/Buckethead collabs.

Hey guys, my friend told me something about a video he saw where Paul Gilbert was teaching a lesson of a guy that looked vaguely like Buckethead (Hair, hand size, height, etc). Anyone know if this is true or not? I figured you guys of all people would know. :p:

Hey guys, my friend told me something about a video he saw where Paul Gilbert was teaching a lesson of a guy that looked vaguely like Buckethead (Hair, hand size, height, etc). Anyone know if this is true or not? I figured you guys of all people would know. :p:

MuffinBrain, thanks for the link. It's beautiful. :)
There is a video with a pretty tall and skinny guy, but it's not Buckethead. ^^ If that's the same video that your friend watched.. Buckethead was only 15 when he was taught by Paul Gilbert and the guy in the video was clearly older.

Edit: It's on YouTube somewhere, can't seem to find it though.

Beautiful.

This must be a new composition? It's awesome as hell. http://www.archive.org/details/buckethead2009-09-12 - The whole show is awesome, of course!

Saw Buckethead four days ago!! (my second time seeing him)

Me and my friends were in the front row; I nearly touched him!

Anyways, I'm still highly aroused from the encounter...

For some reason I've just remembered that "Viggo Mortenson is Buckethead's dad" thing.

What was up with that? :confused:

What!? That means Viggo impregnated some chick at the age of ten. Not even Aragorn could do that.

I love when he breaks out into the really long fast part. He gradually builds up speed, then just starts shredding like crazy. I also like when the drums kinda fade out in the background and it's just him shredding. It's soooooo awesome.

I just came back from his concert in NY.
I got a toy :)
I have over 40 minutes of good sound quality footage im sure some of you want to see so will post it up in the new few days.

[Baby Joel]

Did he play any newer songs?
What toy?

I'm jealous. :(

[Siggelump]

Awesome!

Did he sell the new album? I've ordered it, but I guess it will take a while for it to get here.

[Minkaro]

Looking at the details for the new album, I can't help but think it's going to be one of Bucket's bleepy blorpy insane ones.

I don't like the bleepy blorpy insane ones :(

[Siggelump]

Yeah, someone at the TK-board got it and it's a heavy album for sure. I believe there is an epic album coming up though, could be a Bucketheadland 3 with all the new songs he's been playing live and more.

[MRavioli]

That gets me real excited. FF kind of sucked, tbh.

[crzywhiteboy]

Did he play any newer songs?
What toy?

I'm jealous. :(
I got a transformer :)
There was like 2,3 songs i didn't recognize so they could have been new.

It was an outdoors show and rain.
And the first time i ever seen a mosh pit at a bukethead concert ahah.
Met these people who drove from Florida to NYC to see him. Apparently he doesn't go to Florida much.

[Baby Joel]

I've noticed he likes to do a lot of northern and midwest tours.
I want a transformer. :sad:

New album looks interesting. Usually with tracktitles that have 'double-man' 'slunk' and 'scalpel', its going to be weird.
