The NEW Buckethead Thread

[Nacho Cheese!]

I'm gonna see BH for the first time July 28th here in Buffalo, NY with a bunch of friends. I can't wait :D

I hope he plays "Nottingham Lace".

I want to go see him but it is hard because of no shows near me. :(

[Vantage]

I want to go see him but it is hard because of no shows near me. :(
It's more difficult for us Canadians. :mad:

[lobster624]

if i were in Canada i would definitely make a trip across the border to see buckethead. i think he is playing a show in upstate NY. i highly recommend the trip.

[petrucci_owns86]

To teh pplz that are going to see hm soon, here's the setlist he did at the show I saw in February:

1. Night of the Slunk
2. Transmutation
3. He played a 10 minute jam that I didn't recognize
4. Jordan (complete with a modified version of the Guitar Hero II solo)
5. He did the robot and played with his nunchuks for about 2 minutes
6. Arc of the Pendulum
7. Ghost Host
8. Soothsayer w/extended guitar solo
9. Fountains of the Forgotten
10. Asylum of Glass
11. Turbine
12. He gave out toys for about 5 minutes
13. Him and the beatboxer jammed for about 15 minutes
14. Gory Head Stump 2006: The Pageant of the Slunks
15. Last Ride of the Bozomobile (extended)

Then he did a fake ending, and came back for his encore:

16. Park Theme w/extended solo

His setlist will probably be something similar to this.

[Punkismygod]

what effect does he use in his lesson video on part 6?

[petrucci_owns86]

Probably an auto-wah.

[stratdud39]

ok, this is a dumb question, but is the buckethead story true?
The buckethead story is that when he was a kid he had a very poor family and he couldnt go to school cuz he didnt have enough money. They had a barn that he always went to to visit his best and only friends, his chickens. and he would play them songs on his guitar when he went to the barn. and the he met some jerk kids who were mean to him and stuff and brought his chickens to kfc and made them kentucky fried chicken. and then they left the kentucky fried chicken at the barn and buckethead was miserable and buried the chicken and had a funeral for them. Is this true? and please dont badmouth me:)

[petrucci_owns86]

That's for you to decide... I'm not gonna tell you whether it's true or not...


but it probably isn't

Brian Carroll is probably just a guy who is great at guitar and wanted to create an interesting persona about him, so he became Buckethead and made that story.

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

nacho cheese - he's coming to jacksonville

:eek:

Edit:

I'm so ****ing excited :D Hopefully, I will be able to make it...it's a four hour ride, I'll have school that day, moneys tight... :bounce:

[petrucci_owns86]

Ahaha you have school!

Dude he better be coming to New York very soon because I'm leaving for a five-day trip there in about a week.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I'll skip school...I don't care :)

[Basquiat]

I'll skip school...I don't care :)

Amen! I'm in Florida, and also have school that day. It's actually a longer drive for me I think then your location. Oh well, Buckethead > Education.

:D :D :D :D

[Nacho Cheese!]

I wouldn't really say Buckethead > Education but one day of school wont hurt.

[ShredtoBed]

OMG.

Buckethead is in my town. On my birthday.

****ING DESTINY

[Nacho Cheese!]

OMG.

Buckethead is in my town. On my birthday.

****ING DESTINY

Yay, looks like more then just me got something good :D

[petrucci_owns86]

OMG.

Buckethead is in my town. On my birthday.

****ING DESTINY
You lucky bastard.

I might be seeing him for the second time in Laytonville CA. It's a three hour drive but who gives a shit right? I'd probably stay overnight because the Mendocino coast is pretty bomb also :D

[Td_Nights]

So I got bored a couple days ago and did Buckethead's version of This Is Halloween in GP5.

You'll all like the second half.


PM if you want it, it's also on the site under that name.


EDIT: Now I'm working on Spider Crawl. Telling you where to scratch is a pain in the ass to do, especially in GP. So this one may take awhile.

[petrucci_owns86]

Take your time dude

It'll be epicness when you're done

[Td_Nights]

Well it's kinda coming along nicely.

Right now though, I'm working on a real-life Decoding The Tomb Of BansheeBot medley. It's going to be a bit hard to play, but hopefully will sound nice once I'm done. I just need to take GP5 drums and put them in another program, and probably take the bass from GP5 as well. I can play some bass (four years so far), but I'm not a good tabber at it. So yes, this 'project' will probably be the longest I've done so far, but I think the end result's worth it...

[snipsta]

Hi,
I'm new to guitar and these forums but am interested in Buckethead's Sultan Massacre. I can't find an MP3 of it anywhere except on youtube, and I would really like to download it. Any suggestions?

[ShredtoBed]

Try limewire or some other P2P program

[snipsta]

Can't find it anywhere...even to stream it online :(

[Chance125]

So.... Has anyone confirmed who Buckethead actually is? I mean, I know about the whole Brian Carroll thing, but I just don't know if anyone knows for sure. It would be cool to actually know who he is.... But anyway, he is still a badass, and quite possibly the best guitarist in the world. Listen to Soothsayer :haha

*hits chest with hand continually*

DUR DUR DUR DUR

:haha That's who Bucket is, is Brian Carroll. Not much else is known, he likes his privacy.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Soothsayer is completely overrated. I love the song but it is not nearly as good as everyone makes it out to be.

[Mky]

Soothsayer is completely overrated. I love the song but it is not nearly as good as everyone makes it out to be.

I agree. He has so much songs that are (in my opinion) better than Soothsayer, but they hardly get talked about. :( One of my favourites would be 'Volume 05 Track 01' from ISOT. A real gem! :)

[Nacho Cheese!]

I don't have ISOT :(

I am working towards it soon though. Although that will be a download.

[Slaveaway]

i assumed (like a nob) that ug would have loads of buckhead tabs....... i was wrong there areabout 25..... wot the fcuk...


well i guess making a buckethead tab aint too easy haha.

shame though.


Does anyone know - has Buckethead EVER been to England??

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/buckethead_tabs.htm

There are 391 tabs total not 25 mate.

Buckethead has never preformed a show outside the united states that I am aware of. He may have went there on like a vacation though...just not a show. :p:

Hey guys what would be a great Buckethead song to learn?

Welcome to Bucketheadland?

^That songs easy and fun to play

[Punk_Ninja]

I want him in the UK ;_;

And to those saying "it's hard to tab buckethead songs" and that sorta stuff, a lot of his work is oddly easy, which surprised me a lot! :p:

Love him, recently got Acoustic Shards and Enter the Chicken, which made me a fan of Bitter:Sweet (Shana Halligan's band).
Buckethead takes over my life @_@

Welcome to the land of Bucketheadland bro
Bucket took over my life about 4 years ago :haha

[lobster624]

you know the saying "once you go black you never go back" i assume. it's like that except with a tall skinny white guy who wears a bucket on his head.

[Nacho Cheese!]

So, I got the new Guitar World magazine in the mail today. There is an article on Chinese Democracy which includes a bit about Buckethead. :D

He is inspired by his personal built chicken coop in the studio, dog ****, and...funniest part(well, the dog **** wins but still) a personal TV to watch hardcore porn and record.

I haven't read all of it yet but I have been so excited that I had to get on here. :)

Edit: Read rest of it, must say that it was very little on BH but it was a fun read.

Also, I am working on tabbing Spell of the Gypsies but I don't know when I will finish it. Any information anyone can give me to help tab it? I know that he tuned down a half step for most of, if not all, the Electric Tears album.

I have also heard that he only had two guitar parts in all the songs. Anyone able to back that up?

[misterprog2112]

Hahaha this is pure victory!!!

What month is this issue for? Is it the one right after the one about Hendrix's Ladyland?

EDIT: Also, I think he had more than just two guitar tracks on Electric Tears. Listen to Padmasana, I hear a phased electric, a lead electric, and an acoustic. I think :p:
Also, as far as I know, he tunes down a half step for the majority of his material, which includes Electric Tears.

October 08. I think the last one was about Hendrix's Ladyland but I can't remember. It has very little to do with buckethead really but it has a little about him its mainly about Chinese Democracy which has a little about him.

I know, I am thinking the same for Spell of the Gypsies. It seems to have three guitars at some moments. And I also think it is down a half step.

[Aaron the 4th]

Buckethead is paul gilbert in disguise o.o
seriously brian carroll is just a cover for paul it is clearly paul using a disguise so he can be more innovative without anyone knowing it. Same height...same gigantic fingers even his early stuff sounds like paul.

In october hes coming to my hometown of norfolk VA :D

Bootsy collins is BH's best friend and if BH was really in his early 40s i can see 50 year old bootsy be friending him. Paul is more bootsys age. Bootsy is best bassist eva

Yeah, because lets face it PG is so amazing he can do shows in Europe right now and shows in the States all at the same time.

http://www.paulgilbert.com/viptickets.html
http://bucketheadland.com/tour/index.html

Seriously, they are different people.

I also doubt that Bootsy is BH's best friend. Think about Maximum Bob, PinchFace and Josh Bockles. Those three are near him more then Bootsy. Bob I know for sure has been around BH for a long time and is a good friend of his. So my guess is, I would take Bob as one of his best friends over Bootsy.

I really...have nothing else to say to rest of your comments.

I'm pissed. I got this issue today, and on the side binding it says Slipknot * Buckethead * Stevie Ray Vaughan.

On the cover it says "Buckethead - plus: a complete history of masked guitarists!" and doesn't mention Chinese Democracy one bit.

BUT - in the issue, not only is the "complete " part changed to " brief, " it's one page long, and Buckethead isn't even mentioned!

In fact, the only part of the issue that I can find which talks about Buckethead, is a little subset column as part of an 8-ish page feature on CHINESE DEMOCRACY.

:grrr: :livid: :angry: :rant:




so don't get your hopes up, petrucci_owns86.

I'm not completely disagree that is was disappointing but it was at least something. Not to mention there is more in the magazine that is pretty good. The columns seem to be pretty good this month. If only I would sit down and actually learn them thoroughly :o .

ah poor guy your just a non believer. I doubt you know who bootsy is. Bootsy was interviewed and said he was BH's best friend. not only that if you know even one thing about Bootsy u can identify him in tons of photos all over Bucketheadland.com. Look for that star shaped bass you non believer and that gigantic smile.

I have nothing more to say to a flame baiter such as yourself

[Nacho Cheese!]

:rolleyes: I know who Bootsy is and just because he said he was his best friend doesn't mean he is. The only one that is just to say who BH's best friends are is BH himself, not Bootsy Collins. On another note, who gives a **** who his best friend is...its about his music not his friends no.

word. although i would like to see buckethead unmasked, its his music that really blows me away.

Colma and Population Overdrive are deff my favorite albums by him. IMO he shows us his true musical capabilites in those albums.

btw Ballad of Buckethead is dminished/chomratic hell. Possibly the most fustrating solo to learn. i dunno how the **** he wrote that.

I think Electric Tears deserves a spot with Colma and Population Overdrive. Just my opinion. Electric Tears is my favorite album of his though.

Actually now that I think about it Decoding The Tomb of Bansheebot is also really good. I don't think I could declare a fav. All of the albums are really good.

[Ichimaru]

That's why we love him.
Also, why has no-one mentioned Crime Slunk Scene? Soothsayer alone makes that a noteworthy album.

[Orbit91]

Anything Buckethead makes is a classic.

Also, I've heard a weird rumor that Paul Gilbert is really Buckethead, how silly is that?

[Ichimaru]

Buckethead is obviously Paul Gilbert's, Joe Satriani's, Steve Vai's and Marty Friedman's lovechild.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Also, why has no-one mentioned Crime Slunk Scene? Soothsayer alone makes that a noteworthy album.

Although Crime Slunk Scene is a good album. I personally, am tired of hearing about Soothsayer. That is all anyone talks about it is tiring. Not to mention I think he drug the original solo out way too long and could have done better. 7 minutes of a solo that repeats a few things while once in a while adding something new. The song is still great but he could have done a better job with the solo.

Say this again I kill you. The guy who posted after you made a great point.

And to the other guy, I know what you mean. This issue has almost nothing about Bucket, just more overblown shit about Guns n' Roses' album. The part about the dog shit was weirdly funny though :haha

so don't get your hopes up, petrucci_owns86.
Yeah, that kind of pissed me off. But at least it's my favorite issue now that the 'Knot made the cover and Buckethead actually has his name on the cover. On the same issue no less.

As far as favorite albums go I'd have to say Crime Slunk Scene. I don't know why people dislike Soothsayer, that's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Sorry for the epic post :p:

[Nacho Cheese!]

I don't dislike Soothsayer I love the song. I'm just saying that after hearing a thousand some people blabber on about nothing but Soothsayer ignoring all his other work it is tiring. Plus, I think he could have done better on the solo. He actually does better live on it.

Yeah, you're right. Sometimes I think it's the only BH song people have heard. Anyone like, say, Computer Master? :haha

And yes, he usually extends the song live. At least when I saw him, it was probably about 10 and a half minutes.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Yeah, you're right. Sometimes I think it's the only BH song people have heard. Anyone like, say, Computer Master? :haha

And yes, he usually extends the song live. At least when I saw him, it was probably about 10 and a half minutes.

I know, that is my main problem with the song. So many people over look the other music.

I have stopped work on Spell of the Gypsies though btw. I will continue it sometime but it will be a while. So if anyone was waiting for it you might as well just not think about it because it will be a month(approx) before I start back on it.

On another note:

What is everyones' opinion on ISOF? What are your favorite tracks?

[Phoenix322]

Soothsayer is good. Not my favorite though. I personally think Nottingham Lace is 10 times better. But you guys are right, that's the only song people really talk about. I would say his more popular songs would be: Jordan(thanks to GH2), Soothsayer, Nottingham Lace, and Welcome To Bucketheadland, in that order.

I saw Buckethead last night...It was incredible. Anyone who hasn't seen him live and has only seen YouTube videos, trust me, there's nothing like being a few feet away from him while he's playing some of your favorite songs. And his tone is SO much better when you're right there and you can FEEL the song in your chest when he's playing. I left the club and couldn't hear anything, but I wouldn't have had it any other way :D

I didn't recognize all the songs he played, but the ones I did know were: Night Of The Slunk, Botnus(He opened with those two), Goblin Shark, Ghost Host, Asylum Of Glass, Soothsayer, Brewer In The Air, Welcome To Bucketheadland, and Jordan. I was praying he was gonna play Nottingham Lace but he didn't :(

Another thing I wanted to point out is that BH seems to have a new guitar. He has a white les paul, but this one isn't as customed like the other one. The head stock is normal black, it has a gold finish on the tuners and the bridge, and I don't remember what his bridge pickup looks like, but his neck pickup is black, a double coil humbucker. And he has a white guitar strap now :D

Here's him playing Soothsayer last night. I had goosebumps the whole song. I just remember sitting there staring at him the whole time thinking, "...Wow". Hopefully someone uploads Asylum Of Glass from the show, it was way better than the album version(which is still good).

On another note:

By ISOF, do you mean In Search of The...?

Because if you're referring to those albums, I don't really have any favorites. A lot of the songs I don't like.

But I do love Blue Marbles Moon from Vol. 2.

Another thing I wanted to point out is that BH seems to have a new guitar. He has a white les paul, but this one isn't custom like the other one.

And he has a white guitar strap now
It could be new. It probably isn't though. He has lots of guitars, it just seems like he prefers his white Les Pauls more than anything else.

I'll have to watch the video to see if I recognize this guitar. He had one of his white ones when I saw him.

EDIT: I watched the video, that's one of his white ones. Did you happen to take any video of him with this other Les Paul?

[Underjoggle]

I love me some Bucket.

[petrucci_owns86]

Then lose the Weezer avatar.

:haha

[Nacho Cheese!]

Yeah, I mean "In Search of the..." I meant to put ISOT not ISOF...

Which track is "Blue Marbles Moon"? I just have it by tracks and not by the names from the forum or where ever the names were from.

He uses multiple Custom LPs but I don't remember ever seeing one with a Black Neck PUP. Then again I don't pay too much attention to his Neck PUP. Usually I look at his picking hand or his fretting hand and not the guitar.

[Vantage]

Is it just me, or did he sound like he was in standard tuning on that video? :confused:

[Phoenix322]

I've only ever saw him with one custom LP that was all white, including the hardware(white head stock, white pickups, white bridge, etc. There's a pic below) and his "wooden" finish V.

Yeah, everything is usually all white. I don't ever recall seeing one that wasn't.

[Stillicide]

Well hes got ALOT of other Guitars, but the Les Pauls that he uses, (I think he has two) are completely white.

Hes got a Flying V with what I believe is a "KFC Bucket" graphic on it.

Although he used alot more Guitars in his older days, like Ibanez's and Jacksons.

I figured you just made a mistake. The letters are right next to each other.

Blue Marbles Moon I believe is either track 4 or 5 on Vol. 2. Whichever one it is, it's about 10 and a half minutes from what I remember. It's played with a fairly clean sound on the guitar, and Bucket's using beautiful progressions throughout the entire song. There's about one of those on every ISOT album, I like those the best. Eye of the Storm, the 19 minute one, on the other hand, is about 17 minutes of shred. I'm pretty sure about halfway through it I was thinking, "at this rate they're gonna find my brains all over the walls by the end of the song". Whenever my iPod shuffles to that song (which rarely happens when your music library is over 4600 songs :haha) I always skip it. I can't handle that much shred.

I still don't have the balls to try listening to the Butcher's Last Dance, the final 40+ minute track from ISOT.

As far as his guitars go, I've only seen him with the guitars you guys mentioned already. That and his acoustics, you can't forget those. So maybe he does have a new Les Paul. Btw he's used orange sunburst Les Paul's when he was in GNR for that short period of time.

[Minkaro]

It's horrible.

It uses one drumbeat all the way through, a sort of marchy style one. After five minutes, I'd massacred half of my village.

Or I would have, if I wasn't so lazy.

Is that the whole fucking song?

[Nacho Cheese!]

:haha

Is that the whole fucking song?

For the drum beat yeah...it is, at least so far(30 minutes in). The guitar changes up and all. At 27 minutes it gets pretty good for a little while.

Edit: Yeah, it wasn't that good. At parts it was pretty good but for the most part...it isn't very good.


Damn, I just listened to the entire 45 minutes Buckethead **** around with one drum beat. Not even a very good BH **** around. :o

[eliterun]

buckethead is a freaking awesome guitarist...he's weird as **** though.

he's a shredder who can create solos that are almost as melodic as those of Slash, Pagey, Gilmour, and the like. that's a rare breed.

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

I don't think he's weird at all; I think he has a character that he plays any time he's going to be in the public eye and the rest of the time he's probably a perfectly normal guy. One of my favourite guitarists definitely though; too many people judge him on Jordan and don't listen to the rest of his music nearly enough.

What are everyone else's thoughts on Enter the Chicken? It's the only album I actually have but it's definitely one of my favourites in my collection.

I love Enter the Chicken. Especially the "Running from the Light".

I wouldn't really consider Slash a shredder. Not when compared to BH at least.

Enter The Chicken has my favorite song of all time on it; "Nottingham Lace" :D

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

I love Enter the Chicken. Especially the "Running from the Light".

One of the best songs on it to my mind, I think "Funbus" gets my vote for favourite though. The lyrics in that song kill me every time and the truly epic moment when the solo comes in. Pure, unadulterated, win.

[petrucci_owns86]

Why does everyone praise this song? I don't like it unless I'm really... in the mood :p:

Anybody wouldnt happen to know what AMP he uses the most would they?

And what settings he uses? YEs I already know he has a bunch of pedals.

[Raijouta]

Buckethead uses a Mesa Dual Rectifier with a Marshall 1960A cab, as far as I know. However I'm not sure if it's modded or not. If you want to get his settings look at the Ultimate Settings thread.

[seymour_jackson]

i <3 "Nottingham lace", "Night of the Slunk" and "Watching the boats with my Dad"

Colma and Monsters and Robots are my fav albums. oo wait and Population overdrive.

wtf is that button he has on his white les paul?

[Phoenix322]

It's called a Killswitch. It cuts off the sound from his guitar for a quick second, hence the sound he gets when he uses it.

It's pretty fun to mess with, I installed killswitches on both of my guitars.

There are multiple different ways you can have it(if I am correct.) You can have it so when it is in it gets kills the sound or you can have it like a switch. Press it in and it is off, press it again and it is on.

You can also get it in a actual switch(Tom Morrello[sp?]) or like BH with a button.

Ah, that's different though. Bucket uses a normally open momentary pushbutton. Although I'm thinking he might be using just a normally open pushbutton for the other killswitch on his LP mentioned earlier.

Well, before I start on anything, do you want to drill a new hole on your guitar, or would you rather just replace the tone pot with the killswitch?(Completely reversible, usually)

Because I just replaced the tone pot with by Ibanez, but I had to drill the hole a little bigger.

Yeah I can't listen to a lot of the songs in the set, cause they're just random, unmusical noodlings. And then theres some tracks with incredibly funky grooves and infectious riffs.

So I'm going through it all and sorting out all the filler tracks from the song ones. (In Search Of The Music :p: )

Ok then, after removing the tone pot.


Unscrew open the guitar jack and the back of your guitar(if that makes sense). You should be able to see wires going all over the place. Just place the tone pot beside the wires, you're not removing it.
Insert the killswitch(and the washer thingies). Drill a bit if necessary.
Solder it this way:
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q131/CrossHairSB/Killswitch.jpg

All you have to do is get two separate wires and solder them from each end.(From killswitch to guitar jack)

1) He has 24(at least) frets I believe. No one knows for sure what PUPs he has in it. The action is probably low but who knows.

Many people stalk him because they are stalkers :no: as you can see:

http://www.bingeandgrab.com/bucketgear.html

You can get a look at some things there.

2) He didn't really grow up in a chicken coop or anything like that. He lived in a perfectly fine state probably. No one knows for sure and to be honest I don't know why anyone should care. People should stop harassing him. :peace:

Ok, so I gotta ask, I've only seen him on youtube.com and I've never really heard a full song. He's damn good at guitar, but it seems like hes more of a circus entertainer than musician (oh god your all gonna go nuts). Does he have songs that ARE songs? He kind of strikes me like mars volta; great musicians, very talented, but almost too talented to the point of it being unaccessable. Does he ever just have a rhythm guitar playing and maybe some lyrics with a few leads, then a crazy ass solo? Or does he just finger**** his fretboard for 9 minutes everytime he starts recording?

He has a few songs with lyrics but not many. "Botnus" is one of them, you might like it. I don't care for the lyrics or vocals but the guitar work is great(obviously). He has many structured songs. "Nottingham Lace"(though the song really gets good at 2:00+), "Soothsayer", and "Welcome To Bucketheadland" are amongst his more popular works and are pretty structured. You don't need lyrics to make a song a song.

He plays mostly as a solo guitarist...Most solo guitarists usually don't have songs with lyrics or "just a rhythm guitar playing with a few leads", the whole song is based around their lead.

[tubetime86]

^ I guess that makes sense, well I mean it does make sense. I'm sure it's just personal preference but I find stuff like that to be too "wandering." Where did the song begin and where did it end? Most likely the same place. Well-produced, and admittedly also over-produced songs tend to start you off somewhere and then take you to another place, figuratively of course. This stuff reminds me of John Petrucci's Liquid Tension Experiment. INCREDIBLE amounts of talent heaped onto each recording, but with very little direction. Lacks emotion.

You didn't listen to "Nottingham Lace" at 2:35+ have you? Or "Soothsayer" for that matter... Or "Machete" or "Ghost" or "Colma" or "Inferno" Or "Whitewash"...or much of the really good stuff :D

I really hope you're not listening to him playing these songs live and judging based off of those videos. They're often very improvised and quite different from the album versions.

Giant Robot, Monsters and Robots, Colma, Electric Tears.

There are a few, it really depends on what you like. If you want slower music go for Colma and Electric Tears. While Giant Robot and Monsters & Robots are more shreddy. He also has more music out there in different genre types.

[griffRG7321]

does anyone think that buckethead should cut back on the amount of improv he does in his songs live? :mad: i've been watching him on youtube and he seems to just totally improvise solos all the time. And it sounds no way near as good as the solo's he does on his records. For example, i love the solos in soothsayer and jumpman, but he just seems to go crazy on the 'chromatic shredding' and it just weakens the song in my opinion :(

I've been collecting for a while now, and got most of his signed limited stuff. Missing a few though.

Does anyone have anything? Rarities?

I know I'm currently on a massive search for Somewhere Over The Slaughterhouse... I'll never find one at a reasonable price. :(

Speaking of which, Bucketheadland was on Amazon for like, 18 bucks I believe.. I couldn't snag it. :(

So, how many people collect these amazing slabs?

[Nacho Cheese!]

So, how many people here try and actually collect Buckethead albums? (No! Not an mp3 collection!)

I do have a massive .mp3 collection of his music at least. :p:

Ah, It's cool. Some people are up-tight with the whole mp3 downloading stuff and all, but It's enjoying the music that counts. That's what Bucket would want anyway! :D

Anyway, here is my collection .. which I'm still sore from the work I had to do to get it. :p:

what is bucketheads actual rig? and what are the specs of his guitar????

plus. I've heard he hires his amps for his gigs??? is that true??

I don't know anything about his rig to be honest. And really most people don't know anything about it either.

http://www.bingeandgrab.com/bucketgear.html

Probably the most information you can get about it.

If you click the link to his custom LP then it will give you a little bit of information.

As far as I know, no. In most of his recent live performances, he's using the same amp setup.

...How would we know? Seriously, he never says anything in the "press" we never get any interviews or anything about it. How would we really know for sure how he composes?

:o

I remember from one interview he likes to play while a movie is playing muted. Basically creating his own soundtrack to the movie then and there. If I remember correctly that is...here is a interview maybe you can find out more from it:

I don't have gp, but I have it in powertab.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Give it to him in PT, if he has 5 he can import it which converts it into GP. If you want you can send it to me then I can send you the GP version that you can upload.

[Phoenix322]

billybusa made a GP5 version! You're the man :D

What album/songs is Buckethead touring in the next few months?

[seymour_jackson]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXaYt1vDbXU&feature=related

Buckethead and Shawn Lane!! WHAT!?

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

Oh yeah; I've seen that before with about the same amount of excitement but seeing as how Shawn's just doing vocal work it's not as interesting as it could be.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Shawn Lane was a beast...on guitar and size.

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

Shawn Lane was a beast...on guitar and size.

Well done, you noticed he was overweight. You do know that was because of the steroids he was taking for his psoriatic arthritis right?

[seymour_jackson]

yea i know he took steroids and he was above 500lbs when he past away.. or something like that.

its a shame that the best die young. IMO Lane, Becker, Romeo and Buckethead are the best at the "Shred" genre. its a shame two out of the four can no longer play =(

[Nacho Cheese!]

Well done, you noticed he was overweight. You do know that was because of the steroids he was taking for his psoriatic arthritis right?

No I didn't, I wasn't making fun of him though. I was just making an observation man. Mainly because I didn't remember him being that big.

Edit: Either way, I notice what I said did sound kinda bad. Oh well, I didn't mean anything by it.

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

300 actually.

No I didn't, I wasn't making fun of him though. I was just making an observation man. Mainly because I didn't remember him being that big.


Whether you were making fun of him or not; I can't stand it when people bring anyone's weight or image into discussions about the music, especially when it was anything but the artists choice.

[seymour_jackson]

opps my bad, i just re-read the wikipedia article and you are correct, he wieghed above 300 lbs.

as on the topic of weight, it shouldnt matter and it doesnt. (to the true musicians). people obssesed with image are idiots.

btw does anyone own Powers of Ten that they could send me via computer. i was just listening to some of it on youtube and my god!

[Nacho Cheese!]

We were not really discussing his music to be honest, the topic was just Buckethead and Lane together on stage. I was not talking judging or anything on Lane due to his weight. I don't consider image in on the music like I said I was making an observation and I stated it.

Either way I am done with this conversation.

[pitfall2000]

who me? scares the crap out of me

zaphod my friend, relax.

seymour, check your PM.

I feel bad for claiming buckethead to be my fav. guitarist (2nd is Geddy Lee from Rush) b/c I've only heard soothsayer and Jordan, and I only have Pepper's Ghost (which, from what I've read of this thread, isn't mentioned at all...)

and I register at 400+ hurray for me :shrug:

You know you can just go on to youtube and listen to more of his music that way. I'm yet to listen to all of Pepper's Ghost, that is why I haven't said anything.


I did sit down and listen to all of Dreamatorium(Death Cube K) yesterday. It was a little different but I kind of liked it. Anyone else listen to it all yet?

[Tetran]

I have been misinformed...damn...as far as youtube goes...I have dial-up lol. The fact that I sat down for about 18+ hours to download Pepper's Ghost was a once in a lifetime thing.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I know how that is don't worry. You should sit down for another long download of more music though. It is worth it trust me :) . Go for Electric Tears or Colma for the softer type of ones, go for Monters & Robots or Giant Robot for more shreddy stuff. Those are more solid albums since you have such a long wait for a download. Or you could find a way to get money and buy some. :)

[Tetran]

I'm wanting to save up the money to buy ISOT, but that will have to wait until after i get my first guitar, which should be in the next week or two....it may be a first act, but for learning how to play, what better deal can you get for 50 bucks...even comes with an amp, lol.

I wouldn't really buy ISOT yet personally. You can get other albums that are more solid then that box set for less. Don't get me wrong ISOT is nice and all but it has some songs/pieces that are not that great and I think you would get a better buy on some other material.

As for the guitar I find that the first act is a complete waste. That amp is a waste also. You are better off just buying a cheap guitar for 100 or something and play without an amp until you can get some more money. You should go to the electric guitar part of this forum.

They will more then likely help you more then I can.

[beadhangingOne]

dude seriously did you like slow it down like hell and figured out what scale he used and tabbed it from there?

must have been a pain in the ass 0_o

Yea took me about 6 hours across 3 days. What you do is, take a mic and record the crazy parts onto audacity, and then use the "change tempo" function which will only slow it down without changing the pitch. Buckethead is mostly doing various Bb minor scalar runs, which makes it ridiculously easy to tab from that point on. Also the patterns are almost always the same. I'm thinking about writing an article on how to tab, especially insane fast parts. I think it would help since a lot of submitted tabs are always like "lolz this part is too fast, so I don't know how to playz it".

would the pitch of the song be changed if it was slowed down in windows media player?

Yes. Get audacity, it is free after all ;)

Hey speaking of Audacity (now I know this is a Buckethead thread... just bear with me), is there a way to listen to what you've recorded while you're recording another track?

Because I was trying to record the Bleeding by 5FDP and the intro is like 3 guitars and its hard to record when you aren't allowed to listen to what you've already recorded while you're recording another guitar track at the same time.

Does that make any sense at all?

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

If you go to file -> preferences on the Audio I/O tab there should be an option near the bottom that says "Play through other tracks while I'm recording a new one" or something similar, it's just a check box so the rest should be obvious :cheers:

[beadhangingOne]

That's weird, it automatically plays all other tracks for me while I record a new track.

[PoP N FresH]

i ewish bucketheads music was a physical substance i could like......smother on things to make them cooler. wow i like soothsayer. i like it a lot. A LOT.

American Music Club / Social were great concerts! But..

Sounds like you need to get some bootlegs! :D

Just about every Bucket-boot I have is pure amazing and then some. If you want to get some without trading, you could always try to download from The Trader's Den (Link Here (http://www.thetradersden.org/))

His 2008 shows are pretty amazing. I have two so far. But search around, Buckethead has a goldmine of concerts online. And when I say goldmine, I mean DOZENS and DOZENS. :D

THIS.

Also, there's a DC++ server that has over 1 terabyte(I kid you not) of Buckethead bootlegs. I got loads from there.(Thanks to .tk buddies)

And his 2008 shows ARE amazing, although he had quite some problems at the Omaha, NE gig. Too much technical problems.

[Raijouta]

I agree - his 2008 shows are the best yet. He's technically tight and almost always on time this year, and he's finally playing the end of the solo to 'Jordan' correctly. I just wish he'd play a wider variety of songs like from Bansheebot (he only plays Asylum of Glass live - I'd love to hear Killing Cone or Hall of Scalding Vats, or even Sail On Soothsayer - maybe I Can Only Carry 50 Chickens at a Time. The ending riff in that song is godly)

I also wish he'd play something from Inbred Mountain live... Plastination Station, anyone?

But seriously Buckethead has such a wide variety of awesome songs to choose from, I just wish he'd diversify his set a little more.

[beadhangingOne]

I'm really getting into Kaleidoscalp as of recently. Great stuff, very bizarre at times.

[Vantage]

Also, is it just me, or did Buckethead get skinnier? Or is it just because of his new outfit?

[griffRG7321]

[dminishedthingy]

i'm (hopefully) going to see him in October, anyone know who the "special guest" is?

[THD in KC]

hmm.. buckethead is a very talented and unique performer. One of the few artists that have such a unique creative touch that once heard, can be recognized every time you hear it from then on.

If you listen to any music buckethead did with bands.. its pretty easy to tell when its him playing haha...

The same goes for les claypool...

[THD in KC]

diminished thingy the special guess is That 1 Guy (mike silverman) he's been playin with him alot lately and they kick ASS TOGETHER!

[Raijouta]

So recently, I figured out the exact delay required for Whitewash. It was a good feeling and good sound... maybe I'll record a video (with my crappy camera) and post it on YouTube or something.

Also, Big Sur Moon. :D

Now only a few hundred more songs to learn :p:

[seymour_jackson]

The songs i learned by buckethead were.. parts of the Ballad of Buckethead the little tapping section.. Binge and Grab including the solo and Night of the Slunk..

thats about it. i want to learn some stuff off of Colma

[ZylitoL]

Does this man ever tour outside America?

[Nacho Cheese!]

No, not that I am aware of. Although he has done shows outside of America. That was with GNR though.

[Vantage]

A few in Japan, a few years ago.

[Minkaro]

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to have to go to the USA just to see Buckethead, lol.

[pawnshopguitars]

What's the most "normal" buckethead album? I really want to get one. I'm totally in love with "Nottingham lace", but I don't want to get some totally freaky CD for my first one, you know? I kind of need to realise how good he is before I can be exposed to the really weird stuff. Any recomendations?

[Minkaro]

Colma, Electric Tears, or Population Override are probably your best bets.

Pepper's Ghost, Decoding The Tomb Of Bansheebot and Crime Slunk Scene have some madness, but aren't chock full of it. They might be better as you get more into Buckethead.

[pawnshopguitars]

Cool, thanks for the help.

Right, I'm going to amazon to purchase me some muzak...

[Vantage]

Population Override would be a good starter. Pepper's Ghost too, but don't start with Bucketheadland 2 or something like that.:haha

[pawnshopguitars]

Well, I've just bought Electric tears. I reckon I'm gonna dig it though, and then I'll be suckered into buying all his other CD's as well :D He really has released a lot of them, hasn't he?

[Vantage]

That's a good choice. Very chilled album, I've tabbed Padmasana, and I'm not sure if I'm continuing on tabing Sketches of Spain.
