BUCKETHEAD IS MY GUITAR GOD PERIOD

Yeah , i love evrything he has done and i listen to all of his albums all the time.

BUT what i realy dont like is that theres such a big amount of people that are like:
"OMGZ i LOVE buckethead , Nottingham lace is the greatest song ever, can anyone tab out the jordan solo ?"
Well if you dont get what i mean, its the one song fanboyism that annoys me.
Listen to his other stuff to !

I would realy realy want a tab for False Radien Cross :(
there is a tab at binge and grab but it says that the tabber is working on it.
Its been like 3 months :(
Thats the sickest shred fest ever.

People at Binge And Grab rarely tab out solos or the like. They'll just tell you to improvise. I really like that song and album though.

There is nothing wrong with Nottingham Lace. It's a great song.

And yes, I do listen to his other material. Almost all of it. Example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssGhWYHU8ck:)

[Jack Off Jill]

NOTTINGHAM LACE, Kansas Storm, Electric Tears(the song), Population Override, Too Many Humans, Angel Monster, Welcome to BucketheadLand, Way to Heaven, Sketches of Spain, ect.......yeah pretty much everything IMO. It really depends on if you want his fast stuff, his slow stuff, or both.

Wait, wait, he did a cover of Sketches in Spain? By Miles Davis? Where the hell can I find that?

[TheUltimateSin]

The song is located on his Electric Tears album :)

My mistake. It's rather early here, and I misinterpreted what you were saying :)

[alexlemon2]

Oh.. my.. god.. In Search Of The is limited edition, correct? Any ideas on when Buckethead will stop selling them? I need to pull some money together to get this.

[bucketbot]

can i just ask a question, why does none ever talk about the bucketheadland 2 album, i think is the best album he's ever done for riffs and shred, but no-one on the bhl forums ever talks about it...

[Evil_Magician]

Personaly i think it doesnt realy have any memorable songs (BHL2).
Dont know man, its probably my least favourite buckethead album , probably because theres so much good stuff that buckethead made and it just doesnt stand out.Theres nothing in it you cant find in his discography.

My personal favourite albums are:
Giant Robot - i love pretty much all the songs, but highlights are Want Some Slaw , I come in peace,post office buddy,pirates life for me,welcome to bucketheadland,i love my parents...well yeah you get it, all songs are great
Crime Slunk Scene - great album , great songs great guitaring nothing to add.
Cobra strike II - now this is an album that you dont listen to loud or you will kill everyone around you OFCOURSE if their are not guitarists.This is a shredders heaven album pure shred trough the whole thing.
Monsters & Robots - great tracks , kind of like crime slunk scene but its not an album that you dont have´to skip tracks on.Who me realy makes me feel sad, i guess its the title.
Bucktheadland - I liked it realy much a while ago but it got boring because there arent that many guitar tracks.
COLMA - Great album , very touching tracks.

Well yeah those are my fav. bucket albums.

Oh and i listened trough almost all 13 In search of the albums and i didnt realy like it. The quality realy sucks and its just not worth to have all of those.
I realy hope Buckethead takes all of those ideas and make a few great REAL albums.
BTW. Didnt he record all of those in one day, i heard that somewhere.

[TheUltimateSin]

Hmm...good question. I'll have to summon Godly_Moose to verify that one

I like it but the problem is you kinda have to listen to the whole thing at once...

[Godly Moose]

I believe he recorded the albums since the end of the last fall tour, to when he released albums.

Is Ghost of Pepper a limited edition to ?

It might be after a while. CSS was limited edition for a while, but they're reprinting CSS again. Same case could be with GoP.

Okay I don't have any Buckethead albums which one should I get to start with.... I have heard quite a bit of him off of youtube and like pretty much everything I've heard but don't know which album to pick there's too many...

*sigh* This has got to be like the fifth time I've posted this in this thread...


Colma, Electric Tears, Enter the Chicken, Population Override, Kaleidoscalp, Crime Slunk Scene, and Giant Robot are all good albums. So take your pick :)

[towk667]

sorry about that...

[TheUltimateSin]

Meh, don't worry about it. It's for a worthy cause :)

[Lightitup]

I have a live show of his. It is 10/26/2005 at state theatre in washington. Anyway, there is a song on there called slunk. Does anyone have this track and know what the songs in there are called?

I know hog bitch stomp, but the beginning stuff is awesome. Especially when he goes crazy on that acoustic. In my opinion his best acoustic work.

[Lightitup]

Thanks Godly Moose, I was wrong the first time it was a show in Virginia, not Washington.

I am really curious about the first few minutes, before hog bitch stomp. After it sounds like for mom.

http://media.putfile.com/Slunk

P.S: In my most recent issue of guitar world, they interviewed paul gilbert, and one of the questions asked if he was buckethead.

I don't have it next to me, but Paul gilbert said that he taught buckethead when GILBERT was 17, and buckethead could not even drive. Gilbert says he remembers his mom driving him to lessons over at gilberts house, and that he saw bucket recently in an airport and barely recognized him. Overall though, Gilbert is proud of buckethead he said. :D

[Godly Moose]

Well you're correct, after he plays Hog Bitch Stomp he plays For Mom. But the beginning part I'm pretty sure is just improv. Perhaps he just uses it too warm up for other songs to be played on the acoustic.

[Lightitup]

This thread was dropping, so I thought I would chime in with my favorite buckethead video.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=NgXIiHg2qTs

If anyone says that buckethead doesn't have enough feeling, watch that.

[alexlemon2]

Hooray! My parents ordered me the "In Search Of The" set not last thursday but the thursday before, as an "easter present". Just waiting on their delivery now :D I'll take some pics and stuff for you guys when they get here.

My next step into Bucketheadland is Elephantmans Alarm Clock and Inbred Mountain and then maybe Peppers Ghost and a repress of Crime Slunk Scene.

What are all of you guys favourite Buckethead songs? Mine is Welcome To Bucketheadland from Giant Robot

[Jvakk]

This is my favourite Buckethead vid ( hope it hasn´t been posted before)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKlIMByMvE4

@alexlemon2 : i personally would buy Pepper´s Ghost first ( it´s absolutely fantastic ) and then have a look at his ´´weirder´´ stuff.Who else has Pepper´´s Ghost?

[alexlemon2]

^ mm, I might get Peppers Ghost with Crime Slunk Scene - I heard on the TDRS forums that they might stop the repressals of Crime Slunk Scene so I better be safe than sorry :D

[Jvakk]

If you want to hear some of his more jazzier or mellower stuff you could try
´´Population Override´´! what´s ´´in the search of´´ like?

[claytonblunt]

Im taking a road trip to go see him within the next year

[Lightitup]

Man, if buckethead comes to any neighboring states, I have to go.

That bluesy solo is excellent too! Thanks for posting that I hadn't seen it.

To who asked favorite buckethead songs, Soothsayer is my personal favorite.

Hey, I bought a white No.1 strap off of ebay. It's the most comfortable strap I've used and it's fun to try out what you can do with the stretchiness.

Hah those are awesome.

Anyways, does anyone else here own electric tears? If so, what do you think of it? I like it, it has no shredding I think though. If youve never heard it, hear is a modified verison of a song on his cd.(Same backtrack but I cant tell any similarities for other parts of it; the song is normally 12 minutes long.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-2w9b8i7GU

[alexlemon2]

On archive.org they have alot of (legal) live Buckethead bootlegs, one that caught my fancy is Buckethead Live at Aggie Theatre on 2006-04-14 (April 14, 2006) (http://www.archive.org/details/Buckethead2006-04-14.flac16), I downloaded it last night and its really good - I advise all of you to follow suit and download it ASAP. The only downside is the music is in .flac format - meaning it takes ages to download and you need to convert it to mp3 (or whatever format you like to use) with a program like Switch.

My set of "In Search Of The" shouldn't be too far away now - hopefully it'll arrive in the next couple of weeks. I'll take some pics and post them here when they arrive. Over on buckethead.tk theres a thread showing pictures of peoples sets and, they look awesome. Specially the lucky buggers that got #13, #23 (Michael Jordan's number) and #666, all with special artwork on them. One persons set got lost in the post (set #9) and Buckethead himself made a special set, with an apology on one of the discs! Amazing, huh?

In other news, I've put in an order on TDRSmedia for Peppers Ghost, Inbred Mountain, Elephantman's Alarm Clock, Crime Slunk Scene and Island Of Lost Minds - they should arrive soon so I can start rocking out to his newer stuff

EDIT: You can get the stretchy straps on thomann.de for about £6.50 (11 euros)

I like Electric Tears alot; as far as acoustic work goes, I feel that Colma is superior, but Electric Tears is still very very good (I particularly like All in the Waiting and Sketches of Spain).

[calebrocker]

anyone know any websites where i can get a buckethead mask? i can't seem to find them anywhere.

has anyone heard King James off of Crime Slunk Scene? it's pretty sweet.

[Evil_Magician]

You can get the mask off bucketheads official site.

Yeah the whole Crime Slunk Scene album pretty much owns.

[Godly Moose]

Wow, nice cover. You just need the string ensemble. :)

[Evil_Magician]

Thanks :D

[TheUltimateSin]

Yes I agree. Very nicely done. I liked it a lot :)

[alexlemon2]

Woo! A copy of Crime Slunk Scene arrived on my doorstep for me this afternoon :D Listening to it right now - I'm not all the way through yet but what I'm hearing is fantastic :D

It definitely sounds heavier and "harsher", when compared to something like Giant Robot, in terms of harsh, trebly chords/sounds on parts of tracks "Col. Austin vs Col. Sanders AKA Red Track Suit" and the beginning of "We Can Rebuild Him".

Still no news on when my set of In Search Of The will arrive, though. Hopefully sometime this week.

[srv_king]

Ok im looking to buy a buckethead cd but he has so many cds out I'm not sure which one to get. I have colma and I like it, but I'm looking for something heavier. I like his rhythm work alot on tracks like Gigan and Music Box Innards, and I also like his more melodic, but heavy, stuff like Soothsayer or lurker at the threshold. Does anyone know which is a good album?

[Lightitup]

I would suggest Giant Robot, Population Override, or Crime Slunk Scene.

I think Population Override gets played the most by me, but Giant Robot is jam packed with songs, so that is really diverse. Sometimes I get angry at Giant Robot though since half the songs are covers of famous tunes, but they are still really good, and fun to listen to. Crime Slunk Scene just has little bit of everything.

I'd say Giant Robot - either that or Crime Slunk Scene. Or both :p:

Giant Robot is less "standard" (think Post Office Buddy, with the guitar fading in and out of the talking) with some silly little themes aswell (although well made) like the Star Wars theme or Pirates Life For Me.

Crime Slunk Scene is a more structured album than Giant Robot, although both albums are extremely good.

[Nitro89]

does anyone know if buckethead has a custom made guitar which is bigger than normal guitars?

[Godly Moose]

Every guitar he has gotten after the Jacksons have been built larger then normal sized guitars.

For a heavy album based and has a lot on riffs. I would say The Elephant Mans Alarm Clock(You already said Lurker at the Threshold so you might already have it.) But his new album Peppers Ghost is really good. Almost no solos(There's still some :) ), based a lot on riffs, and has the sound of The Elephant Mans Alarm Clock, mixed with Crime Slunk Scene, with some Kaleidoscope sprinkled on it.

Here's the second song from the Peppers Ghost album used as background music for this skating video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=BvU8EIxP2pY

I recently submitted a tab of King James. Check it out.

[Evil_Magician]

^ sweet tab dude :D

Giant robot - i suggest it to everyone starting to listen to bucketheads music.
Its the best ride ever and you wanna go over and over.

Giant robot NTT - my next best favourite buckethead album.

Crime slunk scene - real metal/rock with that buckethead vibe. Sweet album.

Cobra Strike II - im not worthy *bows

[alexlemon2]

I'm getting a little edgy about where my set of In Search Of The is, it was 3 weeks yesterday since I've ordered it and Travis has said it's been dispatched, so I'm praying for delivery next week. On the other hand, my copy of Crime Slunk Scene arrived not even a week after ordering it.

Bah, one would be lucky enough to be able to copy even half of that as it is. There's a reason he is generally classed as experimental :p:

With the Secret Recipe DVD do you actually get a Buckethead figure?

News on my set of In Search Of The... it;s being held at the post office because i've gotta pay £25 customs charges... great. My dad could of gone to get it today but he didn't (grr) so hes gonna get it on monday! woohoo

No, it was just some thing I believe Jas made for the DVD. There's only one I believe.

[Skidz34]

Hey, I just started listening to Buckethead, and I really like him so far. Just want to ask a few questions though, I'm sorry if they've been answered or brought up but it's 29 pages, and I don't have a lot of time to read it all.

1. Musically what are some things he does a lot? Like the tritone (I think) lick he uses a lot from what little I've heard..

2. What are some intermediate songs by him to play? I know a lot of Colma is calm and low tempo, but anything uptempo that you could recommend? I hear Welcome To Bucketheadland is pretty good..

3. Can you recommend me 2-3 more albums of his to get I have Colma, and a lot of random songs.

Sorry if I'm repeating anything.. and thanks again for the help.

[Evil_Magician]

1. Tritone tapping, and shredding in chromatics or any scales that sound as dissonant as possible.Alot of simple but real fast scale runs , alot of popping and wah usage when improvising in blues scale. Soothing clean songs and stuff.

2.Want some slaw is great and has a cool solo might take some practice to nail that scale run though if youre just starting out. Welcome to bucketheadland is great but the solo might be to hard .Binge anf grab is great too. King james is real easy.

3.
Giant robot - best bucket album ever IMO
Crime Slunk Scene - if youre into more standard metal/rock stuff
Cobra strike - if you just wanna listen to some extreme shredding buckethead style.
(look at question 1#)

I just wrote this like 2 pages ago so next time just browse trough the pages.
OK ?



BTW.
This night i hade the coolest dream ever.
Buckethead was coming to town and i won a personal guitar clinic by buckethead in my yard.
He was real long, not as long as i tought though.
He came to my house and he wasnt talking and stuff and i was asking him to play stuff etc. and he just took his mask off and the bucket and he said:
"I know its hard to talk like this , i will just act normal but dont tell anybody"

He looked like a normal dude and it seemed so real.
He looked like in that newspapper ad but kind of older.

He just proceeded showing me stuff and i was saying how much i love his style etc.
I dont remember the rest but he gave me a white mask :D
He was also saying something like "Create your own style" or something.

I remember when he left, i realy wanted to go online and tell everybody that he took of his mask and talked to me :P
Right when i woke up i just grabbed my guitar and wrote this kick ass tapping solo.
And i increased my tapping speed to 20NPS :D

[TheUltimateSin]

I remember when he left, i realy wanted to go online and tell everybody that he took of his mask and talked to me :P

Dude, I had a dream like that the other day. The difference was, though, that instead of dealing with a guitar clinic by him, he moved in next door to me. He came over to my house and gave me a signed copy of Peppers Ghost and an action figure toy, and then he took off his bucket and mask to talk guitar stuff with me. I woke up and went to my computer to post here about how THE Buckethead moved in next door to me, and I made it to the UG Homepage before I realized I was awake and it was just a dream.

T'was quite a mood-killer :(

[Evil_Magician]

What if you made it it and posted a thread ?

You wake up all sad just because it was a dream and go to UG and BAM , you posted in The NEW Buckethead thread that buckethead is your neigbhour.
You run to the house next door and you see that its just your old neigbhour and you wake up knowing that all that was a dream.

Now that would be a mood killer.

And BTW. I win you at buckethead dreams.
You didnt get anything out of the dream but i got alot thats realy worth for me.
No more buckethead style copying (i guess buckethead got pissed of me copying his runs),much faster scale runs. Yesterday my ultimate max clean speed was 15NPS but today after the dream it went past the 16NPS bar .

So yeah Me > theultimatesin :p:


Oh and do you already have Peppers Ghost ?
I realy love it , reminds me of crime slunk scene but has some jazz influences in it .
Like the first song with the legato runs in the beginning. Realy reminded of some Holdworth stuff.

[im_hungry]

And i increased my tapping speed to 20NPS :D
:mad:

[alexlemon2]

Does anybody have the In Search Of The set? Because at buckethead.tk theres a person with set #820. So someone here must have it.

I'm so excited to finally get my set tomorrow, even though I'm getting raped by customs (£25... damn customs (or $50)) I hope for set number #750 - #850, if nobody else has got it then I'll do a little review and of course if people want i will take pictures of the set (although i've lost my eyetoy so i might have to take bad quality pics with my old webcam :()

[Evil_Magician]

I downloaded the thing to see if its actualy worth buying but i didnt like it much so i deleted it '.
It does sound like it was made realy fast becuase the audio quality is quite bad .
I want buckethead to take the best of those wedges and make a few real albums.

[alexlemon2]

You will never guess what. I got set number #665 One away from 666. :D

And the customs people didnt take much care over it, the albums arent in too good condition - most of the corners are bent. GRR. Lets hope the music makes up for it


EDIT: Travis is a truly amazing man. He said he will replace my damaged CDs for new ones! Even though it wasn;t his fault they got damaged. He really bends over backwards for the fans :D

Why does Buckethead wear a Bucket? I cant take him seriously because of that. Even if it is only about the music...

[SnowballofDoom]

It'd be silly to just call him --head.

[Godly Moose]

Why does Buckethead wear a Bucket? I cant take him seriously because of that. Even if it is only about the music...

Hey don't listen to Shawn Lane, because he was obese. Or Slash because he wears a top hat, or Jason Becker because he's paralyzed from ALS, or Greg Howe because he's black, or Paul Gilbert because he's tall...

[Evil_Magician]

Yes, because someone's image directly reflects how good their music will be and how seriously they should be taken as musicans.

:rolleyes:

Idiot.

[Evil_Magician]

Wow !!!!

Since the dream i had (post #567) my playing has progressed SO much.
I gained loads of speed and clarity on those fast scale runs , my tapping as mentioned above reached a sick 20 NPS (atleast it is for me) and i have noticed that im actualy starting to form my own style.

Now everynight i go to sleep i try to fall asleep with toughts of buckethead so i can get one of those dreams again and get some tips :D
Im just so happy right now.

Population Override
Electric Tears
Giant Robot
Crime Slunk Scene

[k-log]

At the risk of being told I'm lazy, anyone have a recommendation on what buckethead album i should first get? The only reason i post this is because my personal taste would like an album that's about 70% shred-ish (like nottingham lace) and 30% thats more along the lines of electric tears. Thanks in advance.

[Evil_Magician]

Ofcourse i didnt meant buying IT ;)
I downloaded NTT myself , i love it.
I meant getting em all whow ever you want.

[alexlemon2]

Also, theres quite a few free downloads on www.tdrsmusic.com, check out some of the Thanatopsis ones, especially the song "Axiology" - has positively awesome keyboards

Damn he is like as good on bass as he is on guitar.

[alexlemon2]

You know I said a few posts up about my set being damaged?

My new covers arrived today, straight from the coop

Unfortunately there are no unique pictures on the replacements, just the buckets. But on volume 3 Buckethead drew the picture upside down, which is pretty cool.

thats for that link. Bucketheadland blueprints is the shit.

I got Peppers Ghost last week. IMO one of the best albums Buckethead has released so far.

[Evil_Magician]

The songs are great on peppers ghost , but theres a lack of solos IMO.
Songwriting is great though

[alexlemon2]

Plankton is my favourite song from Peppers Ghost so far, specially when it gets a bit heavier at about ~50 seconds in

[5150)Ed(5150]

Maybe this has been asked before, but is there an album that has a good mix of his funk, metal, and shred stuff?

[Evil_Magician]

Praxis - Transmution(not sure about the spelling) to 5150 ed

[Godly Moose]

Mine currently is Carpal Tunnel Slug.

This, Transmutation is such a good album, that it's ridiculous.

[Mky]

Track 1 of Volume 5 (ISOT) is simply amazing.. :heart:

[alexlemon2]

What set number did you get? ^

I really like the intro to track 5 volume 5, so cool.

Also track 5 volume 2 is awesome, as is track 3 volume 3... welll... all of the songs are awesome

Bucketheads an insane guitarist (guitar wise and personality wise) :D

[x0ny]

Hmmm in one of the videos I saw he started playing country/southern - ish style. I was wondering if there is a name for that type. BTW, how are his new CDs? do they sound new or do they sound like the previous albums?

He plays Hog Bitch Stomp, which is a song that he has been playing since he started, you can find it on the Giant Robot NTT album.


This may sound stupid but how do you download it from that site?

Just click each link on the page, it's in mp3 format.


Wait... Giant Robot's out of print? :(

No the Giant Robot NTT album is. The albums name is Giant Robot, but it was released on the record label, "NTT". The original Giant Robot circa of '94 is still sold, I actually saw it as Sam Goodies the other day.


For everyone here's to download the Giant Robot NTT album(Don't worry it's out of print so it's alright to download it): http://www.alleyjazz.net/en/GiantRobot.html

[Godly Moose]

:p:

On topic, I'm planning to buy the Young Buckethead DVD. Would it be good if I just buy the two?

Here's the first DVD, the family reunion backyard solo is really good.

"Deli Creeps at Cactus Club 11/24/90
Deli Creeps Soundcheck 11/24/90
Buckethead in the Basement 5/21/91
Buckethead's Backyard Solo 6/16/91

Filmed in 8mm, Young Buckethead Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 document the birth of a legend who'd just flown the coop. Vol. 1 features a complete 1990 Deli Creeps concert and soundcheck in San Francisco, an insane keyboard performance in a SF basement, and a stunning extended guitar solo performed at a Buckethead family reunion."


While the second DVD is, this is the one that includes the interview with him talking normally.

"Deli Creeps at the I-Beam, 9/1/90
Deli Creeps backstage, 9/1/90
Deli Creeps at the Kennel Club 4/3/91
Buckethead in the Park 12/29/90

Originally filmed in 8mm, Young Buckethead Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 document the birth of a legend who'd just flown the coop. Vol. 2 features two complete Deli Creeps concerts in San Francisco, unrehearsed backstage footage, and a very rare interview in a park."

And a custom made jackson king v (the KFC one) . Something like the ones Mustaine had before but much bigger.

Nope but im sure that you can order one like his from jackson but dont expect it to be cheap.
And remember that bucketheads guitars are bigger than normal guitars so ask for a stadard sized guitar.

[Evil_Magician]

IF YOU EVER WANT TO BUY A BUCKETHEAD MASK....

Google "Blank male mask" for example http://www.halloweenexpress.com/blank-male-mask-p-7884.html
They sell it for $3 , yes thats $2 cheaper than in the buckethead shop and IMO its identical.

Im definatly ordering one.

Out of stock :(

EDIT: Do they come with the strap or is it just the mask?

[AznElliot518]

Buckethead grew up in my area. Apparently he goes to the local record store and music store a lot. My guitar teacher said that when he is in the guitar shop, he just comes in casually. He doesnt tell anyone who he is, but everyone who works at the store knows him. I think he said something like "its not like he's signing autographs or anything.. he could be here at this exact moment and you would not even know." I havent seen him there... yet................

Maybe Ill ask him to sign my guitar. I hope he doesn't get pissed though.

[Evil_Magician]

EDIT: Do they come with the strap or is it just the mask?

Hey as i said just google " Blank male mask" and theres plenty of sites that sell them cheap mostly for 3 bucks.

Not sure about the stratp though , it probably does becuase you can see the holes on the sides. Anyway if it doesnt it isnt hard to add a little strap of your own.

[Godly Moose]

He plays it on both, as well as the electric.

It would be kinda hard to not notice a man with long hair, who's round 6'6"+ tall, with huge hands, and a mighty good skill at playing the guitar.

I need tips.

What buckethead dvd should i get ?

I think secret recipe is the best but im not sure.

[Lightitup]

Man, that young buckethead clip in the basement is really good. Especially if he is doing that piano stuff off the top of his head.

Is the young buckethead DVD worth it? Or is secret recipe much better?

[TheUltimateSin]

^I really enjoyed that basement clip. They obviously had a lot of fun, and I like his piano stuff :)

[Godly Moose]

Young Buckethead DVD are more of him playing, and Secret Rrecipe is mostly home videos. Even though both have music, Young Buckethead has more.

[Evil_Magician]

Well i have seen alot of videos on youtube and im mostly interested in his home videos because after seeing some on youtube they seem realy fun.
i might go for SR

[flyingVai]

I saw Population Overdrive and Colma in a record store. Didn't know which to get, so I just went with PO. I really dig the album, but I'm just wondering if I made the right choice. In all of your opinions, which is the better album?

[Evil_Magician]

IMO Colma is much better.
Just my opinion

[JvL]

Colma FTW

[Evil_Magician]

I have asked it before but this time.....

If you get to choose only one buckethead album for the rest of your life which one would it be ?

Mine would be probably Giant Robot but i cant decide if i like the NTT better.
I would take Gian Robot because its probably the most enjoyable album from buckethead.
It has it all , disney themes , horro movie stuff , riffing+soloing stuff , crazy freak out stuff nice clean stuff etc.
Definatly the ultimate BH album.

Whats yours.

And by the way how many here listen to cuckoo clocks of hell and/or kaleidoscalp , i personaly find those albums uninjoyable , just too dark and dissonant.
Allthough i did like the hidden track on one of them.

[Evil_Magician]

yeah sweet , but its realy easy to get caried away with the buckethead style of playing and acting so its much better to come up with something original and unique .
Keep that in mind.

[Sadamoto6]

yeah well i am making my own songs but they sound alot like bucketheads songs so i guess itll work out.. and thanks for the help dude. but do you think theres too many people calling themselves buckethead jr. out there? i mean could they at least make up their own names instead of Buckethead Jr? ill just call myself "The Master's apprentice" so ill be original.

Looks like mr. Buckethead has been listening to some Chet Atkins records.

He is quite a fan of Jazz. I love Bucketheads work he did with Hellborg, and also his work with the late Tony Williams(Which was also the last album that Williams was able to record on). He's done many songs dedicated to Jazz greats.

[alexlemon2]

Yeah Buckethead uses pedals, wah.. digitech whammy.. quite a few although not millions of them.

Yngwie is definitely not Buckethead... is Malmsteen ~6"6'? Does Malmsteen have inhumanly long fingers and amazing guitar skills? :p:


@Godly Moose - I see your tab of Giant Robot :D Nice work, I'll play it and see what I think :D :D

[Sadamoto6]

thats what i told him bu the still kept on talking i hated it you dont disrespect the master like that Yngwie is good but the master is way better. and what pedals should i use for playing jordan, nottingham lace, Mr. Sandman, and pure imagination.

[Godly Moose]

Nottingham lace should only be played with distortion, Mr. Sandman a really toney clean tone, and pure imagination, should be played with clean with a little reverb, and possibly very little delay. The only song out of those that you need a pedal is Jordan, and you would need a whammy pedal. You would use it when he plays on the A string. Use this video as an example(In the video he uses a wah in the chorus): http://youtube.com/watch?v=kpStPCJul-A

[TheUltimateSin]

and pure imagination, should be played with clean with a little reverb, and possibly very little delay.

That's they way I play it, anyway.



Being that I have no reverb options with my current equipment :(

[Slaughtered]

i hope you guys know that biography isnt true...=/


hes just a guy that happens to be a really talented musician, he prolly is kinda weird in person, but he wasnt raised by chickens...thats part of his gimmick
Are you cereal? :eek:

Yep, the personality of Buckethead is probably way different to the actual man behind the mask. :p:

[Schmietty]

Buckethead = God

[Teeth2483]

I'd like to meet Buckethead one day. Seems like an interesting dude.

My fav song is probably Soothsayer.

[calebrocker]

there is a clip on youtube from the basement videos where he is wearing a transparent mask that only distorts his face a little, but I was able to make out what he looked like for the most part.


If that helps any

that video was deleted by the user, but when it was around, I did a nifty printscreen, and here it is.

yeah, it's not what you'd expect.

has anyone heard Elephantman's Alarmclock? if you haven't you should check it out. it's pretty much a mix of kaleidoscalp, colma, and crime slunk scene.

EMAC came out before CSS, so it would be more the CSS is more like EMAC. Just being a date whore. :)

I'm in my 40's, and have had the pleasure of enjoying many great guitarists/bands/performers through the years...too many to list, but each amazing in their own right.

Sadly, I've just recently 'discovered' Buckethead though You Tube. I heard of him of course, but never really tuned in, so to speak. Maybe it was a first impression of the Bucket...or the fact I didn't listen to Praxis at the time(again, my loss)...or maybe I've just been listening to too much mainstream radio-play the last few years...

I've spent the last couple of weeks watching a LOT of BH...The Nunchakus..the Robot...the Bucket/Mask...the Gifts...and of course the Guitar...wow...I love this guy. Not only is he an incredible guitar player/composer, but he's carved out a nice niche for himself, and has done so in a way that doesn't compromise who he is and what he wants to convey to his audience/fans(his GnR stint aside...although he still remained BH).

I won't get into a comparison debate because it's pointless. There's a lot of great guitarists/bands who I enjoy. Buckethead is certainly one of the most unique performers I've ever had the pleasure of watching...and will be a permanent fixture in my music library....I just wish I'de jumped on this train to Bucketheadland a few years earlier.

[mental_zer0]

I feel the same way. My first album was kaleidoscalp and I immediately went hunting for the other albums.

Speaking of which, I:m listening to bucketheadland 2 right now. Machete Mirage owns me.

Wasn't Machete Mirage from Colma?

Oh well, my favorite from Bucketheadland 2 is Frozen Brains Tell No Tales.

Machete Mirage is from Bucketheadland 2. Machete is from Colma.

Yep. The most Ive ever gotten was 56%. My friend has gotten 5 stars on every song on expert, but he still can't beat Jordan. Then again, we haven't tried putting buckets on our heads, either... Maybe that has anything to do with our failuire...

Crime Slunk Scene is great, you should buy it.

You should also try Population Override.

[eviledge87]

i just downloaded crime slunk scene, i paid for it though. buckethead's gotta eat too

[beadhangingOne]

anybody know what wah he uses on jordan?

Avant-garde foo'.
You would probably like his album Electric Tears a lot, I think. Also that video is I'm sorry to say, some really ****ty playing by Buckethead, he can do so much better.

Well if you're looking some for really, really Jzzy albums by him. Look up his stuff he did with Jonas Hellborg, and his stuff with Arcana(Arc of Testimony is the name of the album, he did the album with the likes of Bill Laswell, Pharoe Sanders, and the late Tony Williams). And some his stuff with Praxis is pretty fusiony.

I still think anyone who wants to get into Buckethead, should start with this youtube video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsrWHycG7O0&mode=related&search=

This isn't directed at anybody, just for a video to show to your friends, if you want to get them into Buckethead it also has the absolute best version of Big Sur Moon I have ever heard. And if you want to show them the less harder side of Buckethead I would show them this Whitewash video(Also at the end the song has the ****ing hardest looking chord shape I have ever seen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8akmP6Sjv2o

[Shreddin 4 Life]

:eek: jumping jesus that is the best Big Sur Moon ever!

['Floods!']

So far I have:

'Colma'
'Monsters and Robots'
'Population Override'
'Enter The Chicken'

Buckethead as a genius. Top three guitarists ever, no doubt about it. What should I get next? I was thinking about getting 'Transmutation' by 'Praxis' or 'Dawn of the Deli Creeps' by the Deli Creeps. Advice, anyone?

Cheers.

[Woogles]

^ Crim Slunk Scene, The Elephants Man's Alarm Clock and Giant Robot are some of my favorites :D

Anyway, does anyone know if it is Buckethead playing in the new Guns N' Roses song "Better"? Not that hard of a question :p:

[The Virtuoso]

Does anyone have the video of Buckethead doing the 8 finger tapping thing that will quite possibley never be tabbed out eh? Thank you.

[Godly Moose]

Something like this? Because he use to do it a lot in his older songs, which there are plenty of tabs of. He shows how to do it in the the Guitar One lesson.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Aez4_G7CDU8&mode=related&search=

[Shreddin 4 Life]

I don't think that's what he meant by his 8-finger tapping, I think he means the one where he does a lotta stretching and stuff that sounds disonant and atonal

[Godly Moose]

Well he does do some atonal tapping, but it's with like 5 fingers.

[Lightitup]

Godly Moose, where can I find some more old looking buckethead clips like that? He really has his skills owned on that shredding sesh.

[calebrocker]

the young buckethead DVD

what scales does buckethead use? it just makes it sounds really shreddy with lots of chromatics and stuff. like he does in this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=Aez4_G7CDU8&mode=related&search=

[Tim Remains]

Acoustic Shards is amazing.

Whens he going on tour anyone? I need to see him again

[calebrocker]

I'll find some in a little bit.

his playing in general. it seems like a lot of his shred solos sound like that, so I just wanted to be able to incorporate it to my own style. I know he uses a lot of melodic minor, but i don't know what he uses on that video. another example would be the soothsayer solo and stuff that sounds similar to that.

Population Override and then Colma and Electric Tears.

Try Cuckoo Clocks of Hell if you want his heaviest album. :p:

I have the game...never play it. I got tired with it. I have found it to be lame, except Thr Trooper. That I will play.

Call me crazy, but I think that, shreddy solo runs excluded, Jordan is easier on real guitar than GH.

For a more 'heavier' sound I would recommend the Elephants Mans Alarm Clock over CCOH. CCOH is heavier, but I think EMAC is much better for someone who's just starting with Buckethead.

I guess I kinda went overboard anyway, CCOH has some unexplainable sound, but I do love the album. Although yeah, I forgot about EMAC.

[TheShred201]

thefoldarsoldar, all of jordan is easier on real guitar than in guitar hero in my opninion, shreddy runs included

[Metalology]

The only problem with him being on GH2 is that now a bunch of kids in my school claim to be huge Buckethead fans when all they've heard is Jordan. Idiots...

For me, Inbred Mountain is my favourite album or Crime Slunk.

[Heavil]

Anyone know how many frets does Buckethead's guitar have?

[thefoldarsoldar]

Anyone know how many frets does Buckethead's guitar have?

which one? His LP has 22.

[thefoldarsoldar]

On the young buckethead DVD, it says 3 deli creeps shows, and I'm wondering how long are the shows? How much footage is on the discs period?


oh, and Binge and Grab rules, but in the liner notes it says "instrumental version." On which CD is the song with vocals?

[Heavil]

no way 22...at least 24 but I'm not sure how many exactly.
