Post by: Phil on October 26, 2006, 09:55:49 PM
So he played on my campus tonight. Dude is fricken crazy. I went up to get his autograph before the show and he only responded with nods. Guess thats part of his persona but its creepy as hell. Show was amazing though.

If you don\'t know who Guns N\' Roses is, you\'re a freaking douche.
And I DO hope you were referring to GnR, Phil. Buckethead rules.
My campus gets stuck with freaking Bill Cosby. I hate you.

I think he has a chicken bucket on his head...it must be hard to concentrate with the smell of KFC surrounding you. God knows I know that shit is poison, but there\'s one the next street over from my house, and dammit if that shit doesn\'t smell good sometimes. Especially on a cool morning when I\'m doing yardwork...
Funny how the metal scene is...I bet there are a million bedroom shredders who could be him, except he gets noticed for wearing a mask and a KFC bucket on his head. Sorta like wrestling

Evi, GnR kicked him out two years ago. It was him and Bootsy Collins. If you don\'t know who he is don\'t bother looking him up, its really not worth it.
It was a fun show even IF a million bedroom shredders could be him.

Some of his songs are actually really good... Not just 15 minutes of shredding.
Check out the shit he does with Bill Laswell called Praxis, it\'s awesome, except for when they use a DJ, then it\'s lameass.

I would go to see Bootsy.....now HE rules.
I\'m going to see the Black Crowes on Nov. 6th at SUNY Buffalo... I got 5th row tickets... SHould be awesome, they\'re a fucking kick-ass live band...I saw them on the brotherly love tour w/ oasis...needless to say they blew oasis off the stage.

I know what you\'re saying about his strange persona, but there are NOT a million bedroom shredders like Buckethead. As far as I can tell, he is essentially a musical genius. He has recorded albums in many different styles, not just metallic shredding. In fact, I dislike the pure shredding albums like "Cuckoo Clocks of Hell." He\'s best when he\'s performing funk infused stuff with former Parliament members Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worell. However, his own restrained compositions on albums like "Colma" are very memorable. Then there is the weird ambient music like the three Death Cube K albums. He\'s very prolific, so there\'s a huge variety of stuff to sample.
These are some of my favorite of his albums:
Praxis "Transmutation: Mutatis Mutandis" Buckethead "Colma" Buckethead "Electric Tears" Buckethead "Monsters and Robots" Buckethead "Population Override" Cobra Strike "The 13th Scroll" Death Cube K "Dreamatorium"

the show was FREE.
I was dissapointed by bootsy, all he did was host the thing and scream during a few of Buckethead\'s songs.

I thought Buckethead was famous the world over for his guitar virtuosity.
The only thing I\'m speechless over is everyones apparent lack of knowledge of his existance.

Someone has to replace LIC. Just unfortunate that its Sammy. I used to think he was cool, and not just because he let me give him a reach around.

Wait, the new LiC?
Do you mean the new "new LiC" or the new "old LiC"?
You know, the new LiC. The one that tried repeatedly to be mm and repeatedly failed.

You didn\'t hear of the Canadia-America War? Canada and the US fought a war back in 1987 for Canada\'s Independence.

I\'m quite fond of our goofy neighbors to the north, and grateful for selling us The Hockey.
And actually it was the war of 1812 that settled that business....Laura Secord, you loyalist ass-kissing bitch!

Got tickets to go see Buckethead on July 28th in Williamsville, NY. Never went across the border to see a show before so i\'m sure that\'ll be fun in its own right.
But i\'ve wanted to see Big B live for YEARS and i\'m finally going to be able to. To say the least, i\'m pretty fucking pumped. I\'ve been to concerts before but never to one that has a musician of this caliber.
I hope to get his autograph and maybe if i\'m lucky i\'ll get one of the toy handouts!!

I\'ve also wanted to see him forever. Always seem to miss him though.
Should be a fun show.
