Buckethead

[tristy]

Anyone else like Buckethead here?

I won't go into detail about his gimmick, but it's obvious by the name that he wears a bucket on his head. A KFC bucket to be exact.

*insert joke here*

Yes, anyways, it's straight up instrumental music with some limited lyrics in some songs. It's usually just mindless lyrics that don't mean a thing, or auido snippets from movies.

I will list my favorite Buckethead songs now.

I Come In Peace

Sketches of Spain (For Miles)

The Way To Heaven

Watching The Boats With My Dad

Ghost Pt. 2

Colma

Angel Monster

Electric Tears

Warweb

Binge & Grab

Pure Imagination

Onions Unleashed

Chicken

Jump Man

Last Train To Bucketheadland

Star Wars

Revenge Of The Double Man

Shape vs. Buckethead

Stun Operator

Nun Chuka Kata

Earth Heals Herself

Enter The Dragon

Traveling Morgue

Pylegathon

Fountains Of The Forgotten

Descent Of The Damned

Bedlam's Bluff

I highly suggest the albums Giant Robot, Electric Tears & The Cuckoo Clocks Of Hell. All excellent albums, and each show-case how awesome and talented Buckethead is, while each album also is drastically different from the last.

Highly suggest you find some of his work. It's just...awesome.

Didn't realise he did stuff on his own, interesting.

Not really a big instrumental fan, but wouldn't dismiss him until I heard it I guess.

For anyone into Buckethead I highly reccomend Praxis (a band featuring him Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell and Brain from Primus) and CCBBBs.

Praxis just obliterates what people should think of a band. A multi-textured-yet-primarily-thrash guitarist, a funk bass legend, a well-educated drummer, and the well-rounded Worrell. Great stuff.

And for old times sake...Buckethead > 84%

Buckethead + Les Claypool = (L)
