Buckethead - The Cliff's Stare

[GangBoxer]

music like this makes you happy to be alive. :)

[DethKubeK]

God I love you BH :)

[YourSuggestionsSuck]

That very first chord sounds like a piano. I heard it and thought, "Is Dickerson on this?" But alas, the second chord arrived, and I realized, "Ah, no Dickerson." But then, I had a revelation! I yelled at the top of my lungs, "This is still Buckethead!" And from that moment onward, I was forever smiley face.

[sheltech12]

some looping would be nice with this style, deeper and more hypnotic.

but this is very tasteful work , not dark and manic like some of his stuff.

but many of these style leave me wanting them to have more nasty guitar.

Buckethead is that awesome :D

[Fishstixj4l]

If the world ended, and humans lived in a post-apocalyptic environment, I would start a radio station, and this would be the first song on the playlist.

[MrSean286]

Why does everyone have to fight over whether or not Slash or Buckethead is better? Just enjoy the music

[pumpkinheadjrb]

i wanna see buckethead do really heavy metal. I know it is not his style, but i would love to hear what he comes up with like with breakdowns and stuff

[Zaspor]

@pumpkinheadjrb coocoo clocks from hell and buckethead land 2 were fairly heavy imo, maybe not hardcore heavy but still had real heavy tracks.

[pivotpcproductions]

@pumpkinheadjrb He has all sorts of styles! go on the album "cuckoo clocks of hell" its his most metal one he has.

It used to make me sad when I thought of how many people haven't heard of Buckethead or misunderstood his persona. When I read an interview of his, I got over it. I'm just glad he exists.

This is from the interview by Riffage:

Does it bother you that albums like that might not get any exposure?

Buckethead: Nah, I think it's fine. It's kind of fun to have small, underground things like that, that spread by word of mouth. I like that -- it's fun and eventually it can (grow) as time goes on.

[oxxPaNzERFaUsTxxo]

1:23 to 2:00 made me orgasm!

[dreadbet]

why people compare things so much?

damn

whatta a fucked up mentality.

[TheConservatveLibral]

With 27 studio albums, 7 Soundtracks, collaborations with 17 bands and Viggo Mortensen's solo act under his belt, Buckethead has proven to be the most versital and complete guitarist, in turn making him the greatest ever... Jimmy O-D'd, Kirk Hammet sold out, Steve Vai hasn't the same work ethic and Satriani didn't teach Buckethead like most other guitarists were taught by Joe...

[Fluffypopcicle]

@TheConservatveLibral

29 studio albums and 18 separate solo cds to be precise.

@ midnightexplorerpro Chill down? You must mean chill out. Get bent you little wetback kid.

[midnightexplorerpro]

I love it all but... 1:22 whenever I see the title this section pops into my head and then when the drums come in at 1:42..... My gosh.

[jerk618]

@ Bucket420Head Don't you have anything better to do than to get involved in a conversation that took place 3 Month's ago? Don't you have internet porn to jerk off to, child? Go yank on your little pork and stop wasting my time kid.

[midnightexplorerpro]

@jerk618 There's no place for this kind of speech for this song. Chill down.

[ILOVEAYANAMI]

evrey vody should listen to Listening Device of buckethead man its a very good song

[Anjish]

His GNR stint = attempt to make GNR less generic

attempt failed.

[ChamplooSundae]

I like this one, brought me to tears.

[LoafofCat]

the end reminds me of the Ray Montford group, if anyone's ever heard of it. that's a good thing

[pcbbasscolaveccia]

His new stuff is a lot better than before... better choice of musicians and more carefully planned out songs. You can tell he really though about these ones. I'm impressed with him right now :D

[jerk618]

You say that like you know him personally lol You have no idea what his intentions were and I don't either. Its all speculation unless you are the man behind the mask.

[Bucket420Head]

@jerk618 u talked about it like u were him too jackass...

[Bucket420Head]

I agree with jerk except for the reasons that buckethead joined GNR....I think he was looking for something new another band to play with i think it excites him having people on stage with him. BUT not GNR i hate Axl. Bucket And Lady gaga need to hook up and do a song together

[durpadoo]

Actually, he joined GNR because Axl Rose gave him a 1st edition Leatherface action figure still in the box.

[CrXCrXcRx88]

man if bucket head did a song with lady gaga i would b like nOOO buckethead NO bad bucket! lol

[MrFigueroa007]

Chills start at :58 when drums come in.

[jerk618]

Buckethead in GNR is a joke lol. I'm sure Bucket only did it so more people would hear about him and check out his music. Buckethead just doesn't fit in GNR. By that I mean he's a far better musician than anyone in GNR or anyone that has ever been in GNR. Yes that includes Slash, but I'm sure even Slash would tell you that he hasn't studied the guitar quite like Buckethead has. Bucket can play ANY style and sound good doing it. Slash has limits to what styles he can play, but he's still good.

[Hellcolik]

@jerk618 Buckethead is not god, He may not play everything that exists...But i agree with you. In my opinion he's the best guitar player =D

[darkz369]

@jerk618 GNR is a joke for buckethead yes.. but he didnt join them to get more famous and get people to know him better... buckethead doesnt wanna be famous.. he is already rich from family money.. he just wants people to hear music for what it can be.. inspiration miracle worker.. not fame seeker

[BoxenstienMusic]

@jerk618 actually he said no to Axl until Axl presented Buck with a limited edition Leatherface doll that he was trying to get for a long time, so he joined the band for that.

[judaspriestrock]

@jerk618 This is very true. He also chose to play with GNR to get some money. He isn't the kinda guy that does it for the money obviously, but his albums and shows don't exactly make him millions of dollars. He does what he can to get by and he loves making music and that's what he'll continue to do.

[AngusRocker22]

@jerk618 how do you know? Slash may be able to play tons of genres...you have no idea! Just because he hasn't recorded them doesn't mean he can't play them. Comparing guitar players is like comparing apples to oranges...each one is very different

[JFri4321]

@AngusRocker22

BH can play slap bass better than anyone I've ever heard, he plays jazz (guitar), blues, metal, shred, soothing, rock, hell even alternative. I would love to see someone else produce music like Buckethead. Until someone else comes out and makes music on that level, BH is the BY FAR the most versatile player.

[AngusRocker22]

@JFri4321 I never said he couldn't. Buckethead is by far the most versatile player there is...but that doesn't change the fact that just because someone plays one style of music on their recordings...doesn't mean that's all they know.

[JFri4321]

@AngusRocker22

Agreed. I do not like to compare guitarist like you were saying, I just believe he has changed the way millions of people listen and play music. I hate to make the comparison of Hendrix, but that is what he did; his innovation changed the guitar world, and that's why he is considered "The greatest of all time". It's not about being a good guitar player but innovation. Something BH has taken to a new level.

[dannyhood66]

@jerk618 Excactly dude! Thank God somebody else gets it!..Its not hard if you understand what is being played by both groups or the artist..

[dka0314]

@jerk618 slash even said Buck was better

Dave Mustaine: Buckethead is probably twice as good a guitar player as me and Slash combined

Slash: Well, that is actually true. Anybody who knows me knows that technically I couldn't play my way out of a paper bag. [Laughs] Or a KFC bucket, for that matter. I manage to do what it is I do based on a certain kind of feel and sound. I'm getting better at it but I've never been what you'd call a technical guitar player so he's totally right [laughs]

[PeopleMustAct]

@dka0314

Thanks for sharing

[TheViralPulse]

@dka0314 Ya buckethead is way better

[doktordmannypug]

@jerk618 actually i heard the only reason buck wanted to join GNR was because axl gave him a leatherface doll

[Shuucky]

@jerk618

I highly doubt Buckethead joined Gn'R so more people hear about him. Don't forget that he doesn't make music for fame, but by passion.

[catspajamas01]

@Shuucky

but if people don't hear his music, it will be hard for him to keep his music career. Which I'm sure is very important to him. But I have no doubt that he would play with just as much passion even if he wasn't famous.

[Linqua2112]

this is fucking great

[droftihw]

2:22 to 3:14 is just sweet.

[morebag]

is it just me or does the riff in this song at about 1:23 sound exactly like laterus by tool at about 6:15

[morebag]

*lateralus

[theKonfusion]

that's true it sounds a little bit like tool, but who cares they are both some of the greatest artists

[henryc98]

keep em comin buck!!!!

[Yerbanzia]

SBS is one of his best albums ever imho, its like colma and ARDITR smashed together

[godica333]

Bucket head always will be very ePICC

[clevelandjasmin23]

This album is released on Axl's birthday.

[H2OHBOM]

@clevelandjasmin23 sorry but, Who the hell is Axl ?

[clevelandjasmin23]

Singer of Guns N Roses

BTW if you were a real Buckethead fan you would know that he was in GnR and recorded Chinese Democracy with Axl Rose

[H2OHBOM]

sorry, I knew he was in GnR and I heard Chinese Democracy, it's because you said :"Axl's Bithday" without putting "AXL ROSE" then, I would know who was it

[EmptySun]

@clevelandjasmin23 And if you were a real buckethead fan, you would know his GnR stint was a waste of time ;)

[berts1405]

who cares?

[Killzor420]

long live the bucket!

[SeveredHands1]

Love it!!!
