Buckethead

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.

who?

it\'s a white thang...we wouldn\'t understand...:fro:.....

[Evi]

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.

ohhh ok they\'re from jersey...yea i know of him...that\'s that cat with weird lookin hat and hair....and don\'t hate on bill....get in touch with your black heritage,...don\'t front evi i\'ve seen pics of you...you look like that mixed kid from the first american idol.........ohhh and luckee it\'s ok to know who guns and roses are, especially if you\'re from jersey, they tour there alot...so it\'s ok for black folk to know about them since they are plasterd all over the place...so no black points lost..*ahem..in my case that is*...:fro:

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"

I would pay good money to see the guy play, that guy is just bad ass

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.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

uh-huh,  i\'m kinda lost for words.

LOL, that\'s the first I\'ve ever heard/seen of that guy. And I, too, am speechless.

Just wow.
