Yeah that sucks...I thought about that one but it isn't there any more like you said :o

Anyone registered on the Binge Board thingy?

[Vantage]

Only at Buckethead.tk.

[Buckethead23]

I have no idea if anyone has asked this question amongst the 100 pages of the AWESOME thread, but I was wondering if anyone found the tabs/or made a tab of the song Exit 209 on the Pepper's Ghost album...


if not could someone PLEASE do one because that song kicks ASS!!!

thanks in advanced,

just another bucketbot.... XD

[Nacho Cheese!]

Anyone sit down and listen to the album "Chicken Noodles" with BH and Travis Dickerson? It is really amazing actually. If you haven't listened to it and like some of the music off of Population Override you should really give it a listen.

I also sat down and listened to "Axiology" today. I have actually been listening to it for the past few days and it is also really good. What are everyone elses opinions on the album?

I think the low point of "Axiology" would be "Pyre". Don't get me wrong the track is good but it isn't as good as the other songs.

[Vantage]

I've listened to Chicken Noodles a lot of times.

I'm planning on getting Running Deer after hearing a lot of positive stuff about it!

[Nacho Cheese!]

Yeah, I had never sat down and listened to "Chicken Noodles" but it is amazing.

I've thought about that myself. If you get it then tell us how it is :)

Have you listened to some of the "Cornbugs" I'm yet to listen to them yet and would like to know how that are.

Same, I've never heard stuff from them.

But I'll try it out.

[Nacho Cheese!]

But I'll try it out.

They have a good amount of albums out. I don't know if any of them are any good but I know they have them.

[bass wizard]

Anyone know if buckethead is doing any tours of the UK soon??

[Basquiat]

Anyone know if buckethead is doing any tours of the UK soon??

To my knowledge, Bucket has never toured internationally, besides a Japanese tour back in late 90s/Early 2000s.. :(


They have a good amount of albums out. I don't know if any of them are any good but I know they have them.

Cornbugs is ... odd. The major thing about them is Chop Top's vocals. They're not the easiest to get accustomed to. Nothing like Maximum Bob's, actually quite the opposite. If you can manage the vocals and some strange, strange lyrics, then they can grow on you. Bucket's playing is great (as always) though. :D

I believe they have a MySpace, for any curious listeners.

Oh, and I finally got my Florida show tickets! Can't wait. :D :D :D

[Nacho Cheese!]

Oh, and I finally got my Florida show tickets! Can't wait. :D :D :D

I'll look into that MySpace thing then :D

Which Florida show are you going to?(or is there only one)

[Basquiat]

I'll look into that MySpace thing then :D

Which Florida show are you going to?(or is there only one)

CultureRoom show on October 26th! :D

[Nacho Cheese!]

Ahh, I'm going to the 22nd show in Jax. :D

[ChemicalFire]

Buckethead is one of the few Shred Guys I like, he's awesome, up there with Gilbert for me.

[Nacho Cheese!]

If you like Gilbert also I'm shocked you don't like some of the other ones.

Edit: Ohh... you said few :p:

[Bucketheadroolz]

its a buckethead thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to see him yesterday in fairfax CA, but my friends bailed on me and didnt want to go. But i did see him on valintines day :)
I get to see him in santa cruz in november and maybe at the house of blues with my friend too. He uses his old buckets from like 20 years ago, yo someone on the first page. Buckethead is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bucketheadroolz]

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?
I love buckethead.....so noone yell at me over my opinion
I like his shredding the most. Electric tears is BORING. COLMA IS BORING. Whitewash and big sur moon are awsome though. I like acoustic shards. its amazing. Giant robot was my first cd and its a very good one. I say dont buy anything till you own giant robot. crime slunk scene was pretty good. soothsayer was the only good song. king james was BORING. Not as boring as electric tears... Monsters and robots is ok. The other cds on iTunes are wierd. I want the disney album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when does it some out. POPULATION OVERIDE WAS BORING!!!! but better than colma. i like unrestrained growth and too many humans. idk what else to say.

No one is going to yell at you about your opinion. Then again

"yo someone on the first page. Buckethead is awsome!"

Maybe we should considering it seems like you might not be respecting other people's opinions yourself. :peace:

I really don't know how you think Soothsayer is the only good song off of Crime Slunk Scene but to each his/her own.

I suggest that anyone that likes slower beautiful music to check out Colma or Electric Tears. Of course there are more albums of it then just those two though ;)

"The other cds on iTunes are wierd."

:haha :haha

I don't think he really has any weird albums personally. They seem weird sometimes the first two three times listening to it but it isn't really weird.

[petrucci_owns86]

Hey, i haven't been here in forever, anything new?

[Vantage]

Nope.

No.1 Straps, from Germany. They don't sell it here in North America. And it costs so much to order it from a UK site.

There was a bidding on eBay that ended on $36 and only $5 for shipping! :eek:

I'm getting one of the DiMarzio elastic straps instead and maybe painting it orange... I liked Buckethead's orange strap the best. :liplick:

EDIT: RELATIVELY BREAKING NEWS

Buckethead is going to be releasing a collaboration w/ That1Guy known collectively as "The Frankenstein Brothers" - the album's going to be called Bolt On Neck.

He's also releasing an album w/ Travis Dickerson and Brain called "The Dragons of Eden" and a solo release known as "Albino Slug".

Discuss.

[petrucci_owns86]

Pretty much :(

I was wondering where you went. You just kinda vanished out of here out of nowhere... :o
Yeah sorry :haha

Don't worry, I'll be here more often.

Who else likes the song King James? It's my second favorite song by Bucket at the moment.

Btw, who's that1guy? What kind of music?

[11223344554433]

So what does everyone think is the best Buckethead song for me to play at this school thing? I was gonna do the live version of Whitewash but the tab is hard to follow. Nothing too hard please, im not the greatest player there is.

Big Sur Moon.

That1Guy is...

I can't explain it. You just have to look him up. :p:

[11223344554433]

Big Sur Moon.

Haha, I wish I could play that song. :( Got any other ideas?

[Agent76]

Frozen Brains tell no Tales ;)

[Vantage]

Haha, I wish I could play that song. :( Got any other ideas?
Hmm, Padmasana?

It might take a while to learn(12 min song), but it's nothing ridiculously hard. :p:

[11223344554433]

Hmm, Padmasana?

It might take a while to learn(12 min song), but it's nothing ridiculously hard. :p:

Yeah I wouldn't mind playing that, but I doubt the crowd will enjoy a 12 minute song. :p: Frozen Brains Tell No Tales would be fine too, if it wasn't for the drop B tuning.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Yeah I wouldn't mind playing that, but I doubt the crowd will enjoy a 12 minute song. :p: Frozen Brains Tell No Tales would be fine too, if it wasn't for the drop B tuning.

I love my parents isn't a bad one to learn then. It is only a minute long though. You also have All in the Waiting. I can't think of many for you to learn that aren't the slower songs of his. Many of his distorted songs have something that might be too hard for you. There might be a few on "Decoding the Tomb of the Banshee Bot" that you could do though.

For more slower songs:

Electric Tears
Giant Robot Theme
Ghost Pt2
Ghost(doesn't sound as good with only one guitar though.)
Wondering
Hills of Eternity
She Sells Sea Shells by the Slaughterhouse

Most of his slower stuff is on the easy side.

So basically the entire Colma and Electric tears album. If you can find a tab for it.

[TheUltimateSin]

^Welcome to Bucketheadland shouldn't be too difficult either, as far as or art(it's not that long anyway)



(plus it's loads of fun to play anyway)


Edit:

Plus, there's always Soothsayer too. It's fairly easy, up until the insane parts of course. But it shouldn't be too much of a problem up to then, and even then he could improv, end the song, or even jump into a new one.

[Basquiat]

Hey thread! Long time no see!

Must.. Buy.. New albums... :(

The samples sound great for The Dragons of Eden. :D

Soothsayer sounds pretty good to me. The end bit is a bit too hard but I don't really wanna go out and play a 9 minute song, so I might cut it out at about 5. Thanks guys for all your suggestions.

[jackfromcs]

Just got back, great show. Mini review below with pictures and videos. Video links at the bottom.

I got to the Belly Up around 6:00, doors at 8:00, show at 10:00. I recognize a few guys from the show in March at the front of the line. They let us in somewhat on time, last time we got stuck outside until 9:00, with snow on the ground. That 1 Guy comes on at 10:00 almost exactly, plays some good songs. He did a lot of card tricks this time. He played the favorites, Butt Machine, Weasel Pot Pie, One. He didn't play The Moon is Disgusting, which disappointed me, other than that he had a solid set.

That 1 Guy ended at 11 something. Buckethead showed up with the Michael Myers mask at 11:30ish and came out onto the stage quickly. Opens with NoTS, then goes into Crash Victim and kicks the statues around. I noticed that P-Sticks taped them up, when he brought them in one of the busts was broken. I think next he played Ghost Host, then a new song, I didn't get a chance to buy the tour CDs so I apologize for not recognizing the names of the new ones. At the end of the new song he breaks his A string and runs backstage, they turn on some of the Bucketheadland quotes and he's back out in no time.

I'm a little fuzzy in the middle with the set list, he played Gory Head Stump, one funky song, then Soothsayer (Amazing!), I forget which song was next, then it's the toys. I got him a pirate mask from Pirates of the Caribbean from Disneyland Paris when I went there earlier this year, and he handed me my first toy, Princess Leia and a Rebel Commander! The girls next to me made an awesome "Zombie Chicken". After the toys he played Jordan, a few technical difficulties during the song.

Sorry again, I'm not good at remembering set lists, but I remember he played Toy Store and then That 1 Guy came back out. Their jamming was a lot better than in March, I'm guessing that they used a few of those jams and turned them into songs for the CD, it was a lot more structured.

Buckethead came out again, shredded everyone to pieces with Welcome to Bucketheadland, waved goodbye, and left everyone stunned with amazement. Amazing show, 10X better than the one I saw in March, Buckethead played around a lot more, he seemed to have more fun.

I got some good videos, still uploading them to YouTube, I got one new song on it. I'm right beneath the Wah so he's standing above me the whole time, it was incredible.

Here are some of my favotire pictures that I got.

The new song "Siege Engine" is spectacular. He plays above me almost the entire time.

I'll be uploading more throughout today and tomorrow, I'll try to update this post when I do. Hope you guys like the videos!

[thefoldarsoldar]

Nice Post!

[petrucci_owns86]

Dude epic post. Great pictures btw...

I learned Nottingham Lace again the other day. I forget and then re-learn it about twice a year :haha

[Minkaro]

I wish I could afford to forget songs like that. *goes back to glaring furiously at the tabs for Jingle Bells*

Brilliant photos there, I'll check out the videos in a bit (and edit).

:haha

Yeah I always forget how the main riff goes, and the beginning of the solo. But when I remember I play them for hours and piss off everyone in my house :D

[11223344554433]

Soothsayer is hard. Man I suck. The proper solo bit is pissing me off. I'm not sure if its the tab im using, or if its just the timing of the song, but its hard. The pre-solo sounds really out of time to me. Does anyone else think this or am I just crazy?

[petrucci_owns86]

Wait, link me the tab you're using. I'm not even close to being in the right tuning, but let me try it.

[11223344554433]

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/b/buckethead/soothsayer_ver3_tab.htm

I don't think its supposed to be in Half Step down tuning. It sounds better in Standard. Its the second part of the solo that I got stuck at. I probably should be using Version 1.

EDIT: Version 1 isn't much better. It dosen't have any parts of the main solo. Only the pre solo which I will probably change anyway.

[Nacho Cheese!]

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/b/buckethead/soothsayer_dedicated_to_aunt_suzie_tab.htm

Best version...can't get any better.

Edit:

Oh and those videos and all...are amazing. I am now sooo much more excited about the show in october(22)...I didn't think it was possible till now... :D

[Minkaro]

Siege engine is epic :eek:

I'm convinced that Buckethead actually is the Large Hadron Collider. They're going to make him stand in a tube and shred open a black hole.

Siege Engine is beyond epic...reminds me of Soothsayer. The one stretch near the beginning or what ever is amazing. You should know what I am talking about if you watched the video.

New Buckethead album: Albino Slug

it was released September 17th

Where can I buy it?

[Minkaro]

Where can I buy it?

I would guess at www.tdrsmusic.com

They usually have a lot of Buckethead stuff.

[TheUltimateSin]

Why is there a second killswitch installed on his guitar in those pictures? Unless it does something else...

[Notonate]

Has anyone seen buckethead on his current tour with that1guy...and if so was buckethead using the fagbox or did he have an actual band playing along.

[petrucci_owns86]

^^ It's the fagbox :haha

And yeah, it's found at TDRS. I'm gonna get it for my birthday (which is in 4 days) :D

[Nacho Cheese!]

^^ It's the fagbox :haha

And yeah, it's found at TDRS. I'm gonna get it for my birthday (which is in 4 days) :D

Albino Slug doesn't get released till the end of the tour. The only other way to get it is to go to the tour and buy it.

"The Dragons Of Eden" is out though :)

[petrucci_owns86]

Really?
I could have sworn on Wiki it said the release date was Sept. 17th, available on tdrs.

I must have read something wrong...

[Nacho Cheese!]

According to TDRS the release date is yet to be announced.

Avilable soon
Buckethead "Albino Slug"

The Frankenstein Brothers
"Bolt On Neck"
Buckethead
and
That 1 Guy

release dates will be
anounced here soon.

[petrucci_owns86]

Damn. Guess we'll have to wait.

But by the sound of Siege Engine, this is gonna be a good one :D

[Nacho Cheese!]

Oh yeah, Siege Engine is awesome. Does it remind any one else of Soothsayer? It almost always makes me think of Soothsayer.

[Phoenix322]

Doesn't remind me of Soothsayer at all :p:

[Nacho Cheese!]

Really...maybe I am just going insane <.<

[jackfromcs]

Really...maybe I am just going insane <.<

It has the same structure. The way it "flows" reminds me a lot of Soothsayer.

[Nacho Cheese!]

It has the same structure. The way it "flows" reminds me a lot of Soothsayer.


That's where I was getting at. It has a clean riff then distortion goes back and forth then goes to long solo...

[lobster624]

how different are his shows from each other? i'm thinking about seeing him twice at two really small, standing room venues for pretty cheap. if its going to be the exact same thing i probably won't though. it also depends on where i stand if i go to the earlier show...

[SynGates7X]

How long do his concerts usually last? I'm going to see him next week and I was curious.

From the shows I saw they are very different. Mine were separated by 6 months though, so I can't tell you how much it will change from a night or two.


How long do his concerts usually last? I'm going to see him next week and I was curious.

If you're seeing him with That 1 Guy, I would say about four hours.

Here's the timetable from the shows that I saw.

10:00 That 1 Guy comes on.
11:00 That 1 Guys ends his set
11:30 Buckethead comes on
1:30 That 1 Guy comes back and they jam for a while
2:00 Buckethead comes back out alone and plays his final song

Seeing Bucket play live for two and a half hours is so much fun.

[petrucci_owns86]

He only did an hour and a half when I saw him :/

[lobster624]

so it ended at 1 o'clock instead of 2 o'clock?

[petrucci_owns86]

About 12:25, actually.

[Nacho Cheese!]

I think he is thinking about the show jackfromcs went to.

[petrucci_owns86]

Aah, that would make sense. I want to see Buckethead again soon.

[Phoenix322]

Me too.

[Baby Joel]

Does he ever tour in England?

[Penn100]

I'm really jelous of all you people living in the states,

In fact, I've been a Buckethead fan for a while.
I lived in Orlando for two years, and this summer I moved back to Sweden.

What is the first thing I see when I check his new tour dates?
He is gonna play in Orlando.

Gaah!

[Nacho Cheese!]

Buckethead is reason enough to live in the states. This government may rob you but at least you can see BH :p:

[Penn100]

Dude... you don't need to tell me, I loved the years I lived in the states.
Sweden feels lika a 3rd-world-country now (especially when you are trying to get Buckethead CD's :-[ )

Dammnit!
This extremely annoying, I could have had tickets for his show!

[Nacho Cheese!]

Haha, sorry about your situation. I'm sure there has to be something good about Sweden in comparison to the US.

[Baby Joel]

Wish there was something in London... >:(

[Lrn2play]

Are any of his albums a good source for songs like Nottingham Lace and Soothsayer ballad-type songs? I got some of his albums but no offense, i hate shuffling through them all to find the one song i'll like. So any one got any suggestions?

[SynGates7X]

Just got back from a show he played nearby. Crazy stuff as usual.

[Soul Eater]

You guys should all check out Albino Slug that someone posted on youtube.
It's probably one of his best albums!

[Minkaro]

Albino Slug is up on Demonoid now.

I can't get it because I'm at uni :sad:

[thecrusher1234!]

They were $25 I think, it adds up quick so bring plenty of cash, lol.

[Nacho Cheese!]

Could be worse, been to shows where the shirts were $40. I think the 25 might be a little under the normal that I remember, which is $30. I don't know, been a while since I have been to a show it feels like. :o

[EEE_ELLL_OHH]

Come To Uk Buckethead!!!

[Phoenix322]

The album verison of "Siege Engine" is soooo good.

[syk3d]

I don't quite understand the love that people have for Buckethead. What is it about his music that is apparently so good? I don't want to say he lacks emotion or anything that might start the usual flame war, but I just don't see it.

Then again, I'm not that into shred at all.

[Baby Joel]

Its not that its just emotional, but its musical. You could still have emotion but be playing random notes. Buckethead knows exactly what he's doing, all the time. He's also incredible technical, and can easily go into messed up serial/atonal solos, that honestly don't sound much like music.
He also speaks through his guitar. The songs mean so much more once you incorporate the title into it.
And he doesn't even do shred all the time. If you listen to Colma, there are only two songs that could be considered shred, and the rest are incredible musical and emotional pieces.
The man/robot has got talent

Go listen to some tracks from Colma or Electric Tears.

[syk3d]

Thanks, I'll have a look at/listen to some of those now.

[Penn100]

Anyone know what the type of mask that BH is using is called?

I want to get one.

[Minkaro]

Anyone know what the type of mask that BH is using is called?

I want to get one.

I think they're called Kabuki masks.

Or a very similar word to that.

[Penn100]

Okay, thanks.

[jackfromcs]

The guys at buckethead.tk got most of the non-shrediness of Siege Engine tabbed out.

I put their tabs into Guitar Pro and the tab is waiting approval. The timing is a little off, but I think it is ok. Credit goes to Farewellparty and bucketfel for tabbing.

I uploaded the .gp here (http://www.zshare.net/download/2022830196998bac/) if you guys don't want to wait.

[CurlyBash]

i like "watching the boats with my dad"

a very sad song....

one of the few that have made me tear up


but still very awesome :headbang:

[thecrusher1234!]

just entered my siege engine tab.. but since its saturday its probably wont be reviewed for a while so i dont know when itll be up

[bass wizard]

Hey guys, beena long time since i last posted, just wonderign if anyone had any good photos of bucketheads pedalboard? if so that would be sooooooooo awesome :)

cheers guys.

[jackfromcs]

He really doesn't use many effects for a guitarist in his genre.

Is that the whammy right near the top of the picture? If so he must be just about the only guitarist who uses one who doesn't use an old WH-1...

[bass wizard]

cool thanks, what webstie did you get that photo off, are there any more on there?

[jackfromcs]

cool thanks, what webstie did you get that photo off, are there any more on there?

I took it myself when I saw him a few weeks ago, his pedal board has been pretty consistent throughout the years. The only out of the ordinary stuff he uses is the FM4 and the Whammy.

[Raijouta]

Thanks for the pedalboard pic :D I'm trying to model mine off of Buckethead's... I think the only other essential I need is an auto-wah.

Other than that, though, I heard he uses a DiMarzio Air Norton and PAF Pro for pickups... is this true?

[bass wizard]

can someone just list those pedals for me because i really have no clue what they are, cheers :) sorry just its really hard to do because i cant see s**t through my monitor :)

[Nacho Cheese!]

One of them looked to be a EVH pedal, the phaser one I believe. I would confirm and get you a better name for it but it is hard with my teacher walking around. I will confirm it later today in a few hours when I get home though.

[Nacho Cheese!]

The MXR EVH Phase 90 is the only one O can make out. So, I know that can't be too much help as just about anyone can pick the MXR out of a set of pedals. It seems to be set at 5, maybe 6 but most likely 5. Next week when I get to see him I will try and get a peak at his pedals and give ya' some info.

[bass wizard]

cool, sneak a photo too if your brave, or unless he allows photography there ;) but yeah do have a sneak peak please dude, that would be great :)

[Nacho Cheese!]

I'm pretty sure he allows photography, I believe he allows recording also to be honest.

I will try and get a good picture, one with good quality(My Mum has a very good camera.) I will tell(or show) you next Thursday what I could gather.

[bass wizard]

sweet dude, sounds great.

[thecrusher1234!]

im thinkin about asking my sister to buy me secret recipes for my birthday, i really like all te older videos of crazy buckethead stuff but if any of you guys have it could you tell me if youthink its worth it or should i just ask for one of his c.ds?

[Godly Moose]

He has gotten cleaner, not playing technique, I mean playing wise. He use to use a ton of effects, look at '03-'06 tours.

[bass wizard]

Got any photos or any websites which have those photos??

[Nacho Cheese!]

I think his technique has gotten a little better too. At least from some of the youtube vids I have seen.

Also, Guitar World tabbed out Soothsayer, it seems pretty good like usual.

[bass wizard]

Does anyone know what issue of guitar one buckethead did that lesson thats on youtube and also does it include a column or an article about him? 'cause i might be interesting in trying to get it. or if anyone can give me a link to the article( if there is one) that would be great:)

Plus does buckethead play drums aswel? im just wondering as it said on his wikipedia page that he does!

[Aaron the 4th]

I went to his show in Richmond last week. shit was cash. his headliner was "That One Guy" interesting dude with a musical pipe with bass strings attached. Bucket was awesome that night. He didn't wear his KFC bucket though, he wore a solid white bucket instead.

[lesmaul]

can you guys suggest good songs? I downloaded "electric tears" and...there's not much of music in it..unless the file was ****ed up..it was kinda like a synthesizer(sp?) or something like that and like the same 2 or 3 notes played once ever 2 minutes..for about 6 minutes...and then the song ended..


That is one of his best songs.

Does any have in "search of the" or the DCk box thingy

[Phoenix322]

I personally don't think the Electric Tears album is that great. It's just way too slow sometimes, and I like the more melancholy sounding stuff too. This is my list of songs that I'd recommend people to listen to(I posted this before but people keep asking):

-Nottingham Lace
-Machete
-Soothsayer
-Brewer In The Air
-Lotus Island
-Welcome To Bucketheadland
-Night Of The Slunk
-Asylum Of Glass
-Ghost Host
-Final Wars
-Inferno
-Transmutation 5
-Big Sur Moon
-Whitewash
-Bloodless
-Electric Tears
-Plastination Station
-Botnus
-Ghost (and Ghost Pt. 2)
-Goblin Shark
-Sail On Soothsayer
-King James
-The Fairy and The Devil
-Lurker At The Threshold (parts 1-4)
-The Interworld And The New Innocence
-Running From The Light
-Siege Engine

[Baby Joel]

So which of those songs are similar to Soothesayer and Whitewash (Live) in that they have a few main riffs and then great solos?

[jackfromcs]

Nottingham Lace
Welcome to Bucketheadland (Park Theme)
Siege Engine
The Redeem Team
Botnus
Ghost Host
Night of the Slunk

Honestly there are many more, what you asked for is pretty much the layout of any Buckethead song.

[Baby Joel]

Not necessarily. Songs like Machete and Sanctum, which are both epic, seem to be almost all 'solo', and less main theme.

Haha, yes! I found a website made by Travis Dickerson that sells Buckethead's CDs that can only be purchased at tours! http://travisdickersonmusic.com/store/buckethead_catalog.html Now I can get Crime Slunk Scene, and Albino Slug once they get it there. :D

Oh, and to above, I loved Siege Engine. :D:D:D

[Cobain_Is_King]

omg did u guys know that Buckethead is Paul Gilbert!!!

[crzywhiteboy]

Im going to see him Nov-1 in BB Kings.
Hell yea.

[nebiru]

omg did u guys know that Buckethead is Paul Gilbert!!!

HOLY JEEZUZ. It was a conspiracy all along.

[SillyRabbit]

Buckethead can own any guitarist with one hand doing nun chucks and the other hand playing

[Godly Moose]

Who-ho, looked what I stumbled across on one of my monthly visits or so to the TK board.





Lane told me himself that he recorded an album with Bucket in the early/mid-90's and that Laswell produced it...it was backstage at a Hellborg/Lane/Sipe concert in 96....he said at the time that it could very well be in Laswell's very extensive stock pile of master tapes...much like Zappa it seems Laswell has a very large back-up of unreleased stuff...(I've seen pictures)...I've been telling this story for years(on the old Bucketboard and Laswll lists etc.) and I whole-heartedly believe that the recording exists...I just hope one day it is found,dusted off and released...
http://bucketheadland.proboards19.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=15667&page=1#273701





Hopefully we will see this some time in the future, because it will be the bee's knees times 100 I would believe.

[jackfromcs]

That would be the best album ever. Wow. He better find that tape.

[Nacho Cheese!]

jack I believe you wanted a picture of his pedal board...unfortunately I was unable to get close enough to see the pedal board let alone take a picture of it. But I will say this. I think he used a good bit of different effects, so possibly that earlier picture was a little bit off. I'm pretty sure there was more then just what that one picture had.

The show last night was amazing. The downfall was the venue was a piece of shit venue. If anyone wants to know anything about the show I can try and help.

[bass wizard]

It was me who wanted teh photos but it's okay because I googled my ass off and found some photos!! seriously it was like 1 hour of googling!!!! i have a few questions of teh gig though:

1) what was the set-list?
2)did he do any bass jamming?

[Baby Joel]

Quick question to anyone that knows this:
In one of Buckethead's live clips on YouTube, I saw a mandolin in the back. Does he every play it?

[jackfromcs]

Sometimes a roadie comes out in a mask and fiddles around with it, I don't think I've heard of Bucket playing it though.

[Nacho Cheese!]

1) what was the set-list?
2)did he do any bass jamming?


Nice to see you found some photos.

1) I can't really remember the set list completely because last night was rather long(Show didn't end till 1 a.m. I had got up that morning at 5 a.m.)

He opened with "Night of the Slunk" I know that. I know after the toys/dance/nun-chuck thing he went into Jordan. From there I think, not sure if I remember correctly, he went into Botnus. After Botnus was Jowls, Improv(Jam)/Foxylady, Revenge of the Double-Man. I can't quite remember much of them after that. I know he played like three songs off of Albino Slug(Siege Engine, Redeem Team, not sure about the other one may have just been an improv./jam) Right after a jam with That1Guy he closed with Welcome to Buckethead Land, no encore.

So to put it in more of a list(not in order):

Night of the Slunk
Jordan
Soothsayer(it was a little bit before the dance/toys/chucks)
Botnus
Revenge of the Double-man
Foxylady
Jowls
Siege Engine
Redeem Team
Welcome to Buckethead Land
Wonka in Slaughter Zone(Pure Imagination, the version off of Bucketheadland)
Jam with That1Guy
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Oakridge Cake

If I can think of any of the others I will put them up.

2) No, he didn't do any bass jamming. He did do his bass style licks on guitar, you know the slap rhythm thing.

If you want to know if he played a certain song then mention and I should be able to tell you.

[jackfromcs]

Yay! I found the Guitar World with the Soothsayer tab in it!

Zip file at the bottom of the post if you want to download the FULL SIZE pictures. Imageshack decided to make them small so they are kinda hard to read, I would recommend downloading the zip. I think the full sized pictures are 1200x800 or something like that.

Of course this is the one time a year occasion that I decide to scan something and the scanner is broken. I took pictures of the pages instead. I'm just going to link to the images since they are so big.

If I'm not allowed to link to pictures please tell me and I'll take 'em down.

^^^^wat?

[Baby Joel]

I'm....not sure.
I'm pretty sure he's attempting, very miserably and badly, to insult the robot god that is Buckethead.

Just so you know RobertiusB, Brian Caroll does not wear a mask, and Buckethead hates KFC.

[bass wizard]

^owned ;P

[IHazYellowFever]

I love Buckethead and I love KFC. Moral dilemma here. What do I do? :|

[Nacho Cheese!]

^owned ;P

Actually no, he wasn't owned. Brian Carroll does wear a mask. When he is wearing the mask he is known as Buckethead. Buckethead and Brian Carroll are the same so...yeah he does wear a mask. And as far as hating KFC, that may be true but how in the hell do you know what the person likes and what they don't like? Considering the Buckethead name was born on a night when Brian and his family were eating fried chicken, I'm leaning towards him not hating KFC.

[Baby Joel]

Brian Caroll does not wear a mask. Buckethead wears a mask.
Brian Caroll may like KFC, but Buckethead wears the 'Funeral' KFC hat to mourn for the dead chickens.
[/fact]
And he does 'hat' KFC. That's why its on his head. :/

@IHazYellowFever, Buckethead is better. Put it this way, do you want to buy something that gives forever good awesome epic beautiful music, or something that isn't good for your body? Your choice. ;)

You do know it is two "r"s in Carroll and not one right? You do know that Buckethead is just Brian Carroll in a mask and with a bucket on his head right? Either way, believe what you want to believe. I'm done with this petty argument.

[guitargod108]

^ Indeed. let's just leave it at Buckethead = WIN :headbang:

[3xistinstriv3]

I know this is kind of like resurrection for this topic.. and perhaps this is the wrong place to bring it up.. but is it just me or is Buckethead OVERRATED?!

I know hes not too popular within the wretched realms of popular culture, but it seems those that do know him try to compare him to greats such as Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammet, Randy Rhodes, David Gilmour, Dimebag Darrel, etc., etc. (Mainly based on personal preference, but you can substitute any great into that list.)

I take NOTHING away from how great Bucketheads ability is.

Ive pretty rare to see anyone tap with all 10 fingers and have the finger speed that he does.

Not to mention some of the great songs he created such as Soothsayer, Nottingham Lance, Final Wars, Too Many Humans, (SOLO from Jordan.. my opinion is the song is repetitive and annoying.)

BUT, despite the raw Buckethead songs just listed, he has a lot of crap. Most under 2 minutes in playing time. HARDLY epic.

To compare him to legendary guitarists who have been around for years, composing dozens of riffs and emotional solos, it really boggles my mind.

Now, there's no question in my mind if he started putting out more quality songs on more quality albums, he CAN become one of the greatest of all time. But right now at the pace he's going, its pretty foolish to consider him THE best.

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

*all sorts*

Listen to the albums "Colma" and "Enter the Chicken" and see if you still think that way.

[3xistinstriv3]

I have the songs on those albums. So yes, I still do.

[jackfromcs]

The short stuff is usually just BH being BH. They sound weird out of context. Each of his albums is supposed to feel like a ride, or so he says, each song leading in and out of another. Most of those 2 minute songs are building up to another or setting a mood, I'll admit they can sound bad if they come up when your MP3 player is on shuffle, but when listening to an album those short songs can sometimes be my favorites.

[Don't Stop]

I saw Buckethead and That One Guy live tonight, it was ****ing incredible.

[Baby Joel]

3xistinstriv3, Buckethead's solos aren't emotional? I don't know about you, but his solos are the most emotional I've ever heard. And I've heard a lot of stuff. He has incredible technique, definately in the top 5 of best Technique guitarists. He can switch easily from wild shred, to calm acoustic melody. He has the most versatility of any guitarist. And he's got a bucket on his head.

[EEE_ELLL_OHH]

*All kinds o' shit*

He has an unimaginably huge back catalogue! It's not right to say he hasn't been around for a while when he has and the amount of riffs he has come up with is just insane. Buckethead is awesome.

[Nacho Cheese!]

3xistinstriv3, Buckethead's solos aren't emotional?


He never said they weren't emotional.

In any context, I like the short songs that you say are shit. It's just an opinion, just like 99.9% of what you said.

For the under 2 minute thing...I don't see what that has to do with much of anything. I prefer 1:59 of greatness over 6 minutes of so-so music. Not to mention many punk songs are very short but amazing.

[3xistinstriv3]

I respect everyone's opinion, and of course what I said was an opinion. An opinion backed up by facts and legacies.

And YES, the length of the song does have a lot to do with it. Of course not every song has to be 6+ minute songs of epic riffs, but most of his songs are under 2 minutes with him just playing random riffs and melodies, HARDLY epic as compared to the great guitarists ive listed.

You guys do make a point, i never have heard an entire album front to back and they probably do sound better when listened to in the same way you read a book, from beginning to end.

I also do not dispute the fact that he is EASILY top 3 based on technical ability. He just does not make the most of his ability.

I also think much of Buckethead's solos are full of emotion, such as Soothsayer, the entire song is an emotional trip. Some of his songs sound robotic, which is also part of his style.

YET in the end, to compare Buckethead to a seasoned and legendary guitarist is just absurd at this point in time. It all comes down to opinion, but basically i AM saying Buckethead has not proven himself to attain that level of greatness, which transcends all technical ability.

It's what the man likes to play, and do. I see no need to hate on something the man enjoys doing. It's not like he's trying to steal money(Most of the atonal stuff, and basically audioclips from movies and such you are talking about are on albums pushing anywhere from 10-15 years old.)

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean anyone else does. You are basically picking some songs out of a library that consists of well into the hundreds, possibly even close to a thousand or more.

What makes, "greatness" though? Record sales? Death of the musician? Influence? It's all in the eye of the beholder, who you think is a great guitarist, another might not think so. It's your opinion and I respect it, there is really no facts on who the "greats" are, besides general opinion.

[3xistinstriv3]

Legends = guitarists who have composed great music for many years that are well known and loved. Regardless of what people think about 'popular culture'.

I'm not going to argue, as it seems the only people who respond to this thread are 100% Buckethead fanatics.

I need some objective points of view, like myself. I guess this isnt the place to go for that.. :rolleyes:

[Baby Joel]

I see what you mean. People who have established signature guitars (Les Paul, Dimebag), people who have shaped the way music sounds (Page, Hendrix, etc). Yeah, those are legends.
I'm starting to agree with you now. Before I thought you were saying Buckethead was bad, but now I guess you're saying he doesn't have the experience to be a legend. Which makes sense, and I agree with you on that. I think though that if given ten more years, he may reach legendary status. He's that close.

[StoboCopter]

Buckethead and Bootsy Collins on Rock the Vote- I saw an awesome clip where Buckethead rips a solo on the ukulele, I'll post it.

Awesomeness- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_dJ2sMvSYM

[ZanasCross]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckethead

Check out how many albums and how long he's been around. If your argument is completely based on "time span" and "number of albums" holding him back, he's more than done that. He's been an underground staple for years and years. The only thing different now is youtube has made him a "popular" underground star.

I say he is legendary. I can see somewhat your argument; but I know he has changed (for me and many others) the way we view music... thus... legendary.

[loddie]

Saw Buckethead and That 1 Guy last week in Orlando. Absolutely amazing show. Any guitar fan owes it to themselves to see him live. Plus, he give out toys.

[Baby Joel]

ZanasCross, no doubt he has made a gagillion albums. He's been around for a long time. But has he changed music? He's changed the way you look at music, same here with me. But has he actually changed the whole music industry?

[jackfromcs]

ZanasCross, no doubt he has made a gagillion albums. He's been around for a long time. But has he changed music? He's changed the way you look at music, same here with me. But has he actually changed the whole music industry?

I don't think you will find anyone that has changed the music industry unless you look very far back. That's a pretty bad argument. So someone can only be truly great if they change something in the industry? Then many guitarists that are considered legends really shouldn't be? Paul Gilbert is a great guitarist, legendary I would say, but he hasn't changed popular music. I guess he's crap now. Same with Petrucci, Govan, Vai, Satch, or (Insert any other guitarist in here that wasn't around in the 60s or 70s). So how many guitarists do you consider legends? Two or three? I guess by that logic only Iommi, Page and Hendrix are the only guitar legends in history.

To go back to the original post none of those guitarists have changed the music industry.

Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammet, Randy Rhodes, David Gilmour, Dimebag Darrel, etc., etc. (Mainly based on personal preference, but you can substitute any great into that list.)

None of them have changed the face of popular music. I can see what you guys are saying, but it is just a pretty dumb way to judge guitarists. It just stinks of Classic Rock elitism.

[Nacho Cheese!]

"is it just me or is Buckethead OVERRATED?!"

Depends on how much you like him. Some may say he is underrated some say he is overrated. No facts just opinions.

"Now, there's no question in my mind if he started putting out more quality songs on more quality albums, he CAN become one of the greatest of all time. But right now at the pace he's going, its pretty foolish to consider him THE best."

I only know of quality songs and albums from him...sorry you have a different taste doesn't mean he can't be considered the best because you don't like some music of his. There is no factual best...sorry to ruin it for ya'.

"I respect everyone's opinion, and of course what I said was an opinion. An opinion backed up by facts and legacies."

Can I see some facts please. I don't recall seeing any but if you would please point them out that would help this conversation end.

"It all comes down to opinion, but basically i AM saying Buckethead has not proven himself to attain that level of greatness, which transcends all technical ability."

You're right it is all an opinion. We are glad you are saying that he has not proved himself worthy of greatness; some of us think other wise though.

"I'm not going to argue, as it seems the only people who respond to this thread are 100% Buckethead fanatics.I need some objective points of view, like myself. I guess this isnt the place to go for that.."


...I just don't like this statement.
"

I don't care if he has changed music at all. Doesn't change the fact that I like him and consider him great. Shawn Lane didn't change the entire music industry and he isn't really well-known. I still love his music and his guitar abilities. He is also great in my eyes and in no way underrated. Agustin Barrios Mangore is not really well-known and didn't change the entire music industry. His compositions are still amazing and can compete with your so-called "legends".

In the end, why don't we stop this conversation on opinions. I don't mind seeing conversation on topics but when going into a debate of opinions it is all really stupid.

I personally believe he has composed great music for many years. Just because you think maybe, "JIMMY PAGE=GREATEST MUSICIAN EVER, NO QUESTIONS", another might not think so. You seem to be very narrow minded when looking at this.

It also seems more like you gave up, because people's opinions differ from yours.

Could someone scan the Soothsayer tab from the new Guitar World issue?

[3xistinstriv3]

OKAY lots to respond to, im glad some people are starting to open their eyes to what im really saying.

Let me start off by saying that to change a style of music, or pioneer a new form of rock is a huge part of being a legend.. but not everything. IF you want to make that argument, Buckethead is a truly unique sound. I cannot name any other musician with the style he has, because he has so many and ventures into unknown territory with his experimental ways.

Future legend? Of course.

Look, I take NOTHING away from Buckethead. Hes ****ing awesome.. one of my favorite musicians. See, this is what I truly dislike about DIEHARD Buckethead fans such as some of you, when someone tells you he isnt the best, you automatically assume that person doesn't like Buckethead. If you look on my iPod, you'll find his 'best' songs on there.

Basically, what im saying is that if you guys venture out of Bucketheadland once in a blue, you'd open your ears to the different varieties of guitarists who have created DOZENS of quality music over a span of 20+ years.

Do I know of Bucketheads extensive discography? You bet I do.

Problem with Buckethead's discography is that although he has around 30 or so albums and 'songs' that number into the hundreds, most of those 'songs' aren't much of anything. They are little pieces of riffs that he puts together. Of course, that's his unique style of composing, but these 'songs' are more of short skits which do not hold much musical content.

If you take a guitarist like Dave Mustaine and tape all of the little melodies he has composed, I'm sure they would number double that of Buckethead's, it's just not traditional to do this, which is what Buckethead does best, breaks tradition. (NOT A BAD THING YOU TROLLING BUCKETHEADLAND CITIZENS)

TO JACK : I'd say at least two of the guitarists i mentioned changed music. Dave Mustaine (yes i love him), and David Gilmoure. David Mustaine created the original Metallica guitar riffs of Kill Em All, some of Ride the Lightning and even beyond, up until Master of Puppets with Leper Messiah. I'd say Metallica changed music, Metal mainly. David Gilmoure may not have changed music with his guitar playing alone, but overall with Pink Floyd he shaped a whole new genre of music!! ;)

AND, I do argue with facts. If you stepped out of Bucketheadland you'd see I am bringing up facts. The careers of these guys are the facts.

AND btw, to whoever said a debate about opinions is pointless...that's what a debate is dude. Dissenting opinions being exchanged. aahaha if thats your take on debates, never get into politics bro! :D

Wall of text

I think the songs you are talking about are a very small minority of his songs. I'd say maybe around 10% of those are just weird stuff, like 3 minutes of centipede woman, then random geetar solo.

He has about 38 albums under Buckethead.(Including ISOT)


He has appeared on close to more than hundred other CD's. A lot of those side projects, and collaborations.

His Thanatopsis, Praxis, C2B3, stuff with Travis Dickinson, and his wonderful Jazz stuff(Jonas Hellborg, Arcana stuff) are my favorite things by him.


Like I said there is no true guitar legend, as everyone has different opinions on guitarist. Buckethead is a legend too me personally. :]

[JosefTheGodless]

So, I finally started actively getting into Buckethead lately. I had been wanting to give him a listen for a while now after seeing a really cool video from On Demand of his first band (the Deli Creeps) that I enjoyed a lot. Plus he was a student of my favorite guitarist (Paul Gilbert).

I decided to start by checking out some of the various projects he had been involved with, since he has such an extensive solo discography that I had no idea where to start, and I wanted to see how he fit into a band setting. So the other day I went out and picked up Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains album, "The Big Eyeball in the Sky," because I am slightly familiar with Les Claypool, and enjoy his whimsical approach to music blended with great musicianship. I gotta say this disc did not disappoint. I was playing it all day in the car. Buckethead's searing Gilbert-esque solos and funky guitar blends perfectly with Les' wackyness and catchy vocal melodies.

After that I looked in the iTunes store to buy Praxis' "Transmutation" after hearing so much positive feedback about it all over the web. I only got to listen to it once so far, and I have to admit while the musicianship is very good it just didn't click like I thought it would, my guess is that it is going to take repeated listens to really appreciate.


So my question for you all is, where should I go next? At the iTunes store I noticed they had "Monsters and Robots" and was heavily considering that as my next purchase. Also I really want to get the "Dawn of the Deli Creeps" album since that band was my first real Buckethead experience, and I really liked what I heard from that concert vid.

I'm curious to know what the top picks of the seasoned Buckethead vets on here are, and by this I mean entire albums NOT individual songs.

[jackfromcs]

I'm curious to know what the top picks of the seasoned Buckethead vets on here are, and by this I mean entire albums NOT individual songs.

Crime Slunk Scene is probably my favorite overall album of his. It's more of a traditional shred/rock album. It has some of his best songs on it, Gory Head Stump, King James and Soothsayer. Eventually when you really get into his material you should check out Giant Robot and Bucketheadland 1 & 2, you won't enjoy it as much if you aren't used to his sense of humor.

So I would recommend Crime Slunk Scene. I love Monsters and Robots but at times it feels a little bit overproduced, but that would be a good album to get next as well. Either one of those.

[Godly Moose]

Words

My two favorite overall albums of his are either The Elephant Man's Alarm clock, or Inbred Mountain. Inbred mountain is something that will take a little longer listening of Buckethead's music to appreciate since the albums goes all over the place and doesn't stay in one place at a time.

There are two albums you should look at The Elepahnt Man's Alarm Clock, and Crime Slunk Scene. I prefer the Elephant Man's Clock to Crime Slunk Scene. But both are very good to start off with since both are where you can see basically hear Buckethead's "newer" sound. Not to mention the production on these are much better than previous albums. Either one you can get in availability.


On Monster and Robots, it's a good album, I enjoy it. You? I'm not sure. The album like most of Buckethead's previous work can some times, be out there. Not to mention it has a lot of different elements, and the production is meh. But good songs. Most of those songs don't sound anything like their live counterpart though due to Monster and Robots being filled to the brim with guitar effects.

I also suggest getting one of his mellower albums. Colma is only acoustic and programmed drums. Amazing album. Electric Tears is acoustic, and electric guitar only, no other instruments, equally as amazing.

And for the album that really gives what I call that Buckethead feel? Giant Robot. It's a little weird, but really this album should prepare you for all of Buckethead's work in the past and present and give a good feel of him. His different arrangement of songs, his samplings at beginning of songs, weird voice overs, amazing songs, amazing solo, and pretty good production for it's time.



TL;DR version. Get either The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock or Crime Slunk Scene. Maybe hold back a little bit on Monsters and Robot until you have listened to more Buckethead.

[SathiaSun]

There are two albums you should look at The Elepahnt Man's Alarm Clock, and Crime Slunk Scene.
Those are amazing albums, but in my opinion, you need to look at everything to get an idea of who Buckethead is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he released 14 albums last year, and each was totally different from the others. They were all in their own world.

An album you must check out for sure is Electric Tears. That is by far my favorite of all. It is also home to my favorite song of all time, "Padmasana". There is just so much emotion in it, its just incredible. I think its safe to say that people who feel that Buckethead plays without feeling or emotions is definitely wrong.


Anyways, the reason why I'm here is that I'm wondering if anybody is in the Southern Cali area and is going to his show at the House of Blues in Anaheim. The disneyland one.

[JosefTheGodless]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Since all of you mentioned "Crime Slunk Scene" I'll probably go for that one next. Along with the Deli Creeps album. And I've heard a few songs off of Colma & Electric Tears, I'll probably grab one of those in the near future. First I wanna get into his more rock/shred side though.

By the way after a few more listens of Praxis' "Transmutation" I'm really liking it. Don't know what the problem was that first time through. :shrug:

Could someone scan the Soothsayer tab from the new Guitar World issue?
I can do that if you want when I go to my friend's.

Speaking of Soothsayer, I find it extremely overrated. It's great sure, but people make it out to be the best (and often the only noteworthy) song Bucket's ever written, because it's pretty much the song people seem to identify BH with, in the same way Back in Black is for AC/DC.

Completely agree, same goes for Jordan. Then again at times Jordan doesn't get as much credit anymore.

As for the person that wanted the Soothsayer tab...if you go back a few pages before the petty arguing you will see the tab already scanned. OR you can find it scanned on the buckethead.tk forums. OR you could buy the magazine.

Well it is pretty amazing. Nottingham Lace is probably better and strangely enough Whitewash is probably my favourite BH song.

Basicaly just free and legal downloads of the 2 Deli Creeps demo tapes and the Giant Robot album by BH side-project Giant Robot some killer stuff and as it's out of print it's all good to download! Got me into Deli Creeps big time though the quality is pretty shoddy in places but i'll never understand how 'Bend Up' never made it onto DotDC.

[EEE_ELLL_OHH]

All of Crime Slunk Scene except Soothsayer & Gory Head Stump!

Clones, Welcome to Bucketheadland, Baseball furies, Carpal Tunnel Slug, Stun Operator, Jump Man to name an extreme few!

I guess you're not doing Soothsayer anymore then :p:

[Le Tytan]

He is freaking awesome. I wanted to play his songs really badly when I first started playing guitar, and after 3 months, I could make a decent attempt at a Nottingham Lace Cover.(!!!)

Anyways, I really like Electric Tears, Enter the Chicken, Crime Slunk Scene, and Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot. It really makes you better at improvising lead.

And to danecook, I'd recommend Asylum of Glass or Final Wars.

[hbtaj2000]

I wrote this letter to Dr. Pepper because I was really mad about their offer. Just read this.

Dear Dr. Pepper:

Let me start this off by stating that I enjoy your product whole-heartedly. What I like even more than the smorgasbord of flavor contained within the recycleable (which is another plus, by the way!) bottle is your company itself. I admire how you are a corporation who has set themselves apart from both Coca~Cola and Pepsi. I appreciate how I can go into a Taco Bell and get a Dr. Pepper with my meal, then, go to McDonalds for dessert and with it, get a refill of Dr. Pepper. It's admirable that no matter which of the "Big Two" soft drink companies a restaurant has a contract with, your presence is still requested and enjoyed by all. You're everywhere. And I do not have a problem with that. So, that said, I suppose I can get to the reason I'm writing this email. I'm unhappy. I'm extremely unhappy, actually. Your offer to America - the one where you claim that you will give every person in America, excluding Buckethead and Slash, a free can of Dr. Pepper if "Chinese Democracy", the highly anticipated Guns N' Roses album, is released in the 2008 calendar year - makes me second guess the admiration I have for your company and product. I do understand (although I don't necessarily approve) why you excluded Slash from your offer, but I am just puzzled as to why you didn't include Buckethead in the offer. I was relieved when Axl stated that he would share his free can of Dr. Pepper with Buckethead because "some of Buckethead's performances are on Chinese Democracy", but I wasn't satisfied. Why should Buckethead have to drink a half-empty (I'm usually not a pessimist) can of soda? Because he is an ex-guitarist of Guns N' Roses? That's a stupid reason. I don't think it's fair of you to deny him a free soda. You really let me down, Dr. Pepper. Your company's product is SO unique and delicious (tasting), that I thought you would posess the ability to recognize something else, in this case Buckethead, who is also SO unique and delicious (sounding), and unite on that basis alone, but you went the distance and made an effort to exclude him. If I were him, I'd feel incredibly insulted and sad. In case you are wondering, I'm not Buckethead. I'm just a 24 year old male who feels a little ripped off by this offer. Although I am entitled to a free can of Dr. Pepper when the album is released, I will not accept it unless Buckethead is entitled to a can as well. It goes without saying that I will think twice about buying Dr. Pepper the next time I want something different than Coke or Pepsi. I'm not saying that I will never buy or drink Dr. Pepper again, in fact, I definitely will drink it again, but I don't think the patented twenty-three flavors will taste as sweet as I once remembered them to. Come on, Dr. Pepper. You're better than this.

Sincerely hopeful, Steve DiPerna

In my opinion, Jordan is harder than Through the Fire and Flames or what ever it is called. I have beaten TtFaF on Expert while I'm yet to ever beat Jordan...The only real hard part to TtFaF is the intro, rest is easy. Granted the only hard part to Jordan is the solo...I think the solo in Jordan is harder then TtFaF in all ways. I think on real guitar Jordan would be more challenging then TtFaF. Granted if you get the 7/8-finger tapping down the Jordan solo wouldn't be too hard.

Holy fizzing crap Buckethead is awesome.

I've been into his music for a while, but seeing as I've stumbled on a thread for him I figured I'd post.

Simply mindblowing musician. Not a doubt in my mind he's a modern day Beethoven.

When I saw him back in May I got a little squishy ball with pig features from him. I still have it on a shelf in my room.

When I saw him again in September I didn't get anything, but my friend did.

Get freakin' disembodied part II from his from the coup demos. it is not the best sound quality because it is from '88 but it is raw buckethead

Hello all. So I'm just starting to get into Buckethead and I'm looking to get one of his albums.


I was thinking about ordering Crime Slunk Scene off of the TDRS Music website, Is that a good first one to get ?


Buckethead ROCKS!! :headbang:

Giant Robot is pretty good
