If any of you haven't heard Nottingham Lace, check it out. It's on the Enter The Chicken album. I've seen the song listed in the top 20 guitar solos on various lists

i just saw him last weekend in madison. the show was awesome and he blew me away, but the sound techs s'd a d. the bass sounded like a bag of b-holes. other than the bass-heavy sections though, it was one of the sweeter live performances i've ever seen (yes, he nunchucked and robot danced).

haha..nice. i'll have to look for this costume come halloween

Yesterday was the second time I've seen Buckethead live, and I'm pretty sure that my mind was blown. Plus, a friend of mine walked in there having never heard a single Buckethead song and walked out on his phone, raving to his friends about what he just saw.

I can sum the show up in one sentence: I never thought that I'd see Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" played live with only a guitar and a guy using his voice as a drum kit.

My friend did that a few halloweens ago, everyone who knew about buckethead thought it was awesome, but everyone else was confused and was like What.

Buckethead is one of my favourite guitarists. He is so awesomly twisted (check this vid out http://youtube.com/watch?v=86DEKFiss...rch=buckethead )
Definitely check out Colma, one of my favourite. I hear his new album is awesome as well, but I have yet to check it out.

I ordered Colma last week. I am hoping it is a good introduction to Buckethead. I have never really listened to any of his work.

Don't worry you will like colma. I also recommend 'population override' and 'electric tears'.

Let us know how that cd goes!

Can you recommend any of my cans for Buckethead listening duties? Or I may just try em all. Thanks.

now THAT was a lot of harsh....letters...

 

[alexs]

daaamn. I wish I could see him live. Does he ever come to Canada?

Oh and I have wanted to be Buckethead for Hallowen for 2 years in a row, but never got around to it

This was mostly because I didnt know where to get that expressionless mask that he has....Where did you guys find one?? Please tell me

 

[lmilhan]

Yes, Buckethead is something else. Absolutely amazing musician. I have all of his CDs, and I can't get enough of him. He is a class act indeed!

Never saw him live, but would love to (assuming the sound guys knew what they were doing for a change).

Awesome, I'm sure you'll love it. Even if you don't don't completly put off buckethead, he plays very different on all his albums, you have his soft mellow work like Colma then his heavy hard fast stuff like Cuckoo Clocks of Hell.

I don't think he has come lately and I doubt he will come anytime soon, he just isn't popular enough.

I'm not sure where my firend got his Michael Myers mask but I guess look at some party shops.

 

[megawzrd]

Buckethead is awesome...definately an original. Check out this video of him:

I just thought this was a funny quote.

What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up'? Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a mother****er!"
