What a cool solo, first time i've heard Buckethead do a solo.
I'm not sure whats scarrier, the speed, or the apparent ease he seems to play it with.
Love the coutry bit :P
-
Well that's just scary, he's an amazing player. Just last week I listened to a few songs from his cds and the guy writes some very, cool, listenable stuff. I need to go to KFC now, get me a bucket. :)
-
The guy can play. The section beginning at around 1min 50 secs I recognise from his Colma cd (which is a mainly acoustic album!). He is a very tasteful player.
-
Didn't someone have an avatar of him?
-
I love how he's got matching KFC stripes on his guitar as well.
I don't see how this solo spot is all that different from that solo spot of that guy from Myanmar posted a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it's little more melodic.
-
The Star Wars theme was pretty cool. Plenty of humor in his playing.
-
It was all going so good till he started tapping! Nice and melodic then its ruined!
Well I guess his tapping does sound kinda cool, sounds like a video game kinda! Useless in a band though :lol: ooh wait its gone quieter and slower.. much better than that other guy posted up a few weeks ago! Gotta love the starwars bit aswell :P I wish he'd take that stupid bucket/mask off, its almost as bad as slipknot!
-
I enjoyed that and I must check out some of his stuff. Can anyone reccomend any cds and/or songs?

weirdness BEYOND the extreme, but that 3 finger tapping is BEYOND scary.. i never heard sounds like that done with a guitar
-
:o Now I really feel like I need to practice :oops:
-
the talking rubber mask REALLY starts to get on your tits around halfway in but the playing is so scary that its worth it - I really hate that guy, what a tw@t (heh).
:twisted:
-
i need to listen to more buckethead. i really likes his style. even if it is self-indulgent nonsense 8)
-
Didn't someone have an avatar of him?
Why yes, I have an Avatar of him.
3 Finger Tapping? Three? He's been known to tap with all 5 right hand fingers :twisted:
I'll admit - on occasion, BH's playing is a bit self indulgent, but the true king of self indulgence is Michael Angelo Batio. What a tool :wink: .
BH is a very VERY diverse and technically brilliant player. Listen to "too many humans", "hog bitch stomp", "nottingham lace", "i come in peace" and "big sur moon" if you have any doubts about buckethead :)
-
Personally, I like the bucket & mask... So mysterious
-
His tapping is amazing, though i still think Michael Romeo from Symphony X is the best tapper in the world.
-
There's another clip on that same page called "Buckethead solo!" where he's just playing a melodic, soulful solo with awesome tone and tons of sustain. No flash. I always assumed he'd just do ridiculously fast incomprehensible Morse Code shredding. Must find out more...
And he's playing an Ibanez Rocket Roll! I'm not really an Ibanez fan, but those early 80s models like the Artist, Rocket Roll and Destroyer were beautiful things.
-
JESUS that guitar one clip was friggen annoying. What was with the whole reaching for the wall bit? The guys weird but can play his ass off!!
-
Problem with Buckethead is that he doesn't have enough variety WITHIN his albums - he is a master of all styles, but his albums swing between extremes too much, if only he could put acoustic ballads and thrash metal on the the same album.
That's why it's better to download! (Shhh! It's illegal! :wink: )
-
Agrees, i do love his Buckethead and friends album though, every song is awsome bar the rap one which just doesn't seem to fit the bill.
Also, apparently he did the music fro Mortal Combat, if this is true then it makes him 4x as awsome
-
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
3 Fingers?
-
I have decided I cannot stand to watch buckethead, because the mask and bucket piss me off too much, I cant help but think "what a tw@t"
I have downloaded a few of his songs and they seem to be better than I thought.. although they seem a bit dull so far, Jordan was pretty cool. The song called Buckethead by Primus is better 8)
-
Damn, that Primus one is so cool, gotta love Les Claypool's retarded voice.
I love Buckethead, but for a guy who has put out 50+ albums (Yes, that's right, more than 50 albums!), you can't expect it all to be pure gold. Some albums you should just avoid.
But if you can tolerate slightly emo vocals, download Botnus, great little speed riff and great solo, which starts fast and then slows down a little and becomes really cool.
Oh, and:
Buckethead's mask = Strangely enigmatic.
Slipknot's masks = gay.
-
By the way, believe it or not, I DIDN'T resurrect this old thread, as I've been accused of in the past... blame someone else :) !
-
Oh, and:
Buckethead's mask = Strangely enigmatic.
Slipknot's masks = gay.
Everyone's masks = f*cking uncomfortable, I would imagine.
Muzzzz, I'm not a download kind of guy. Is there any Buckethead album that's vaguely representative of everything he does? Or maybe one that just shows off his melodic stuff? I was thinking of getting the Secret Recipe DVD.
-
wtf.. slipknot masks are cool. especially the one mick has.
:P
-
you want weird?

on topic, buckethead is really good. I like the song Jordan he plays live all the time, its on guitar hero 2 as well... Colma and electric tears are great acoustic/slow no shred stuff.
-
what is that ibanez?
i want it!
-
Yeah he's good, but I still think he's the most annoying prat on this side of the guitar world -.-
-
^Purely because of his Mask and KFC Bucket?
If so thats a very simplistic reason to dislike someone. but then chavs hate anyone with long hair so i guess it must be ok to hate people bassed on how they dress...
Arharhar that you tube vid was.... interesting
-
^Purely because of his Mask and KFC Bucket?
If so thats a very simplistic reason to dislike someone.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me...
If I see a guy with a dildo strapped to his head and a great pair of shoes I reserve the right to judge him and call him a c0ck for choosing to wear a dildo on his head...
Seems only fair to do it as it is simply the reverse of complementing him on his wonderful taste in shoes.
Any man who wears a KFC bucket on his head without endorsement or sponsorship cash (not to mention a William Shatner mask) is a pretty good ballpark description of a F*ck wit.
Non of the above comments have any relevance to his musicianship.

In the same way that people wear Football shirts? T-shirts anouncing their favourite alcoholic beverage?....They to are wearing it and not receiving endorsment money.... Would they be classed as a "F*ck Wit"?
Also to anyone that may choose to wear a dildo or any other sexual device strapped to your head, i salute you, it would most certainatly brighten up my day.
I love you.
Awsome...

Well not to labour the point but...
The Teams receive sponsorship money for two good branding reasons 1) Direct TV exposure 2) Indirect exposure via Replica Kit Sales.
Your example falls into the latter category.
As a supporter wearing a replica of a team kit you do benefit from the money that "your" club has received.
Hypothetically and by way of example... if a die hard Arsenal fan decides to purchase and wear the replica kit of Man United.... They could, even by this narrow definition, legitimately be considered a "f*ck wit"
Now if they also choose to wear a KFC bucket and William Shatner mask to the Emirates stadium... well that would surely seal the deal.
QED - The wearing of a KFC bucket and Shatner mask can be reasonably assumed to result in any person being considered a "F*ck wit" especially in cases where no form of financial inducement (direct or indirect) can be identified. :roll: :wink: :roll:
-

If that favourite alcoholic beverage happened to be WKD, then the hypothetical T-shirt wearer would, by definition, be a f*ckwit.
-
If that favourite beverage happened to be WKD then there'd be something seriously wrong with peoples tastebuds :lol:

Hypothetically ofcourse, endorsement isn't a particular issue. The wearing of any said poultry carrying devices over ones head be it Kentucky Fried or Zulu fried is the issue here. Meat containment devices are not designed nor suited for wear nor should they be used as such. Those people that decide to wear these containment and carrying devices are subject to scrutiny from those of ourselves who are more sensible and logical as to use hats and other headgear.
Same can be said for most sexual entertainment devices as stimulation is not thought of as coming from the cranium.

Then he is an innovator/trendsetter in fashion design! And he has pretty good taste in shoes, now i think about it... :P
-
Oh, almost forgot -
Philly:
-Transmutation (with Praxis)
-Population Override (solo)
-Monsters and Robots (solo)
are all good.
Praxis in particular should be looked out for - what do you get when you put Buckethead on guitar and Bootsy Collins on bass? Funk metal! Awesome :P .
-

I know of one person (man) who banged his head and was then able to control his orgasms mentaly, so technically sexual stimulation for this person comes from there cranium, or atleast its contents...

Surely someone would have broken a trend in the first place, gone against (at the time) current fasion sense/logic and wore a hat, maybe Buckethead is as revolutionary as this person was maybe not, but inovention only stems from origonality.....
OR
Maybe like alot of people he suffers from nerves and rather than resorting to drugs/alcohol he finds convering his face in an amusing way alows him to play infront of people.
Personally i admire Buckethead and his environmental awareness, not just using KFC for food but for clothing aswell is something we should all be doing to help reduced carbon emisons from the feindish hat factorys that have polluted our plannet for so long.
Heh....

If we're all wearing buckets in 100 years time, then I can accept your point.
Frankly I don't see it happening.

Stranger things have happened.... Like people starting wars over books...

Thanks, Muzzzz :) . I'd forgotten about Praxis, that definitely appeals to me.
