Buckethead

[Harlekin410]

The psycho lesson.

[nicolastxable]

what this music in 2:18 ?

[KamikazePlatypus]

@nicolastxable

Botnus

[Quyhm]

Herbie is cute!

[DIEGO7CUERDAS]

That mask remeinds me to Lou Reed

by the way, the new Metallica album sucks!

[TheTohkonChambers]

this video is stupid

[Scottde420]

no he is sending messages to aliens

[gr8techtalk]

On Buckethead's worst day, he's still better than me!!!

[InnocentExile182]

I like how people say that BH has no "soul" in his playing. no "feeling". thats simply not true. look at him bouncing around on stage, and in this video when he is demonstrating his string knubbing, hes bouncing around in his chair, he cant even stand still. he's having a fucking blast playin that shit. so, if enjoying the hell out of the music you like to lay isnt "soul" or lacks "feeling", i dont know what does

[ReLysdexic]

@InnocentExile182 People that say he has no soul in his playing probably haven't heard that much of his work.

[Satchfan96]

@ReLysdexic thank you! i cant stand it when all these little slash fantards piss on buckethead, and they say "he has no soul". it's because they haven't heard electric tears or i love my parents or angel monster. they're just ignorant.

[tauntauntots]

@InnocentExile182 People say he has no feeling because there not used to shredding or experimental music. Or they can't shred themselves so they just blame him for having no feeling because of jealousy. I've also seen people who only listen to blues hate on BH because they say he has no soul. It's all ridiculous people just don't understand or appreciate different types of music or playing styles.

[francispreston1959]

This could quit possibly be the single greatest thing that I have ever witnessed. Thank you Buckethead.

[RainedH]

the Grandma's head

[Iwishihadpurplhaze]

o.o' 6:29

[estebanfreytes]

my Hero



[thecallofthemetal]

Holy shit, this scare me!.

[kakusger]

lets just hope thats not a real face he peeled off someone

[dataznfoo]

@kakusger even tho i know you're kidding, even if someone were to peel a face off a person, their eyes won't be attached to their skin like that lol

[AcidSh33tz]

if buckethead needed to sacrifice another guitarist to get better id be more then happy to volunteer, i wouldnt even think twice.

[Wabaanimkii]

I saw that episode of the six million dollar man.

I think.

[DrinkCement]

He's a fucking genious. I'm not even creeped out. o_o

[sjf905]

@DrinkCement Lol...Exactly!

[domovoiattack1]

i can't be the only one creeped out by this. still a god though... so idk

[93PiePinkie]

@domovoiattack1 its okay im creeped out & intrigued at the same time. Is he 'special'? i can never tell sometimes.

[Scoffman5150]

Where and when (what year) is this from?

[ebcyac]

The man is a god!

[1234gnrslash]

He's talking through a decapitated head, of course he's not going to be using his serious, normal voice LOL

[DahPurpleHippo]

Behind the mask is an infinite void to where all guitarists souls are sucked in and locked away to fuel the immortal being known as Buckethead.

[samaier1]

i admit, i have diss'ed this guy before but plan to go see him live in Little Rock in the near future and NOW know i'll have good time, sorry to all his fans but i forgot the most important rule of music, it is a universal languange if you only open your mind and ears, RIP Dimebag

[InFlames2421]

7:30 is my favorite part.

[rickariche]

6:44 He looks like he is getting inspiration from his toys.

[TigerfjesFl0rte]

I think buckethead i really just michael jackson in disguise

[coqcheney]

1944Acehole>>> He is NOT mentally disabled. That's just you.

[itsraininglool]

@coqcheney "if he was"

[JimJimJimNL]

where to buy the hand :O

[gilloasdfghjkl]

Subtitles?

[supermariobros3636]

@gilloasdfghjkl I can understand him perfectly lol

[The666MICHAELMYERS]

that's awesome I'd like to marry him *_*

[dapa4]

Imagine the calluses on his fingers...

[getthyphy]

this is gay

[saadoune117]

The lesson that I get from this video is that buckethead is better than me :/

[arthau2]

@saadoune117

Haha, me too, dude ^ ^

[latinluigi]

Holy fuck this was uploaded when I was 12 :L

[flicfan416]

I wonder how cool you have to be to chill with him, like actually chill. I know Paul Gilbert and Les Claypool chill with him, but if that is the coolness I need to attain then it is too great.

[katew420]

Totally a gimic, the serial killer creepy thing.... Not sure why he needs a gimic see'ing as how he's a guitar god....

[joesatriani1200rulez]

buckethead is plain weird, he's definately up there with the weirdness of frank zappa but i do have to say butckethead is incredibly shit haha :L

[MrMetalBreath]

hey dude... you play a mean guitar.... lose the the weird

[GasserVsGoodyball]

y'know whenever I see Buckethead play I have one of two reactions as a guitar player

1) I'm massively inspired

2 I turn into "Fuck-It"-head

[sseliet88]

7:28 to 7:34 is pure gold

[NickDAwsome]

I don't know what he was moving his hand for in figeure 5 but whatever

[mothmantis0708]

1. dig a hole 2. octave displacement 3. Die on a rollercoaster in your imagination 4. write music near animal slaughter. 5. 6 Million Dollar Man+Paul Gilbert 6. Bootsy Collins 7. Surrender human. Why didn't anyone tell me it was this simple?!

[BongKitteh]

he is not mentally disabled its just his character and the dead head is talking not him.. -.- the dead head.. -.-

[vbt700ibanez]

video is fucking great

[PukeInTheSky]

Buckethead, who you can be, I love you.

[Lukas1233532]

I love bucketheads music

[powersoftritone]

It kinda sad that he's been playing for some 20 year this is the closest thing he's done to a real interview

[jackasskongcocain]

He is so great and cute.

But does it have a slower version?

I am totally lost ==

[Sivels]

@jackasskongcocain cute? Now you're being preposterous.

[thecripper4]

He need to Be on the guiness worldvrecord for longest fingers and fastest guitarist

[theatomizer]

All I learned from this lesson was that I really wish I was friends with him.

[guitarlegend18]

I was waiting for him to start copulating with the mask.

[LethallyEpic15]

Sometimes its the creepy ones that are the best

[StrongFlipMan]

I'm gay, I hope no one sees this.

[peacelord]

Andy Kaufman's illegitimate son

[RossBayCult]

I learned absolutely nothing from this lesson.

[gunnerboy773]

@RossBayCult It's not a lesson jackass.

[RossBayCult]

@gunnerboy773 It says Buckethead lesson you illiterate fuckface! Go back to school and stop playing your guitar hero you fetus.

[RossBayCult]

Somewhere this guy Buckethead is laughing at us wondering if he's normal.

[DiguinhoLuiz]

caraka nao sei nem o q dizer...

[RetroSparkles]

Does he use a pick? O_O

[deemellow1]

you know its actually true...i went to an abbatoir and got inspiration for a cool pulsing heavy metal song, nowhere as good as BH, but hey...

[RockerKiD221]

This guy is fucking scary

[ArkonPro]

You can tell its Buckethead by the huge vein in his right hand

[DennisHillMusic]

omg that stupid thing talkin is SO HILARIOUS

[LGX47KILLER]

Hes an awsome guitarist but he scares me

[contactvilma]

@LGX47KILLER I feel the same way you do :-/

[1944ACE1944]

Even if he was mentally disabled he's the rain man of guitar

[TheFrankHedden]

@1944ACE1944 I think he would be called an idiot savant if he infact was.

[Hoppy1092387456]

O. K.

Just to clarify, buckethead only has one real picture on the Internet and you can clearly see he doesn't have any sort of disability!

He just rocks at acting. And all of the pictures on google are fake losers trying to steal bucketheads fame.

[NinjaShadowish]

@Hoppy1092387456 dude are you a fucking retard or 3 years old hes just talking that way dont tell me you cant talk like that and just by looking at someone you cant tell that he has a disability (that i know of),,

[Hoppy1092387456]

@NinjaShadowish learn how to read you ass hole!!!!!! i said it DOESNT look like he has a disability!

and he is an AWESOME actor...

dick

[aurosne]

What if he took the masket off and he was like they guy from Mad Max. Blaster.

[manonmagiccarpet]

can't stand all the talking head shit but only a fool would deny buckethead's ability

[22Sucramrr]

@MultiGrotto buckethead plays country music too :D

[toddque]

buckethead is the shyte

[skaterallbee10]

please check out my cover of Buckethead's Big Sur Moon! Im aspiring to become a well-known musician myself and your critizism is the biggest step to my dream of success!

[darkmatterdoesit]

I love when he uses Herbie

[MultiGrotto]

i can get this music, its horrible, obvi theres nothing like country :D

[jevimetal13]

@MultiGrotto Then maybe you should listen to country music and close this Buckethead video

[darkmatterdoesit]

@MultiGrotto Avant-Garde is awesome; fuck you.

[asdfcrow]

@MultiGrotto this is not his good stuff.

[DelornificatioN]

I imagine him in court with that mask talking for him when KFC sued him for the bucket.

[Wuhhhht]

strangely, i totally understand what he's talking about.

[jevimetal13]

But i'm not saying that's bad, autists try to communicate in other ways other than talking, and Buckethead is naturally talented for music, which may be why he is one of the best guitarists that have existed in history. He uses the guitar to talk, to shout and to cry, one of the most emotional artists out there.

[jevimetal13]

I can tell he is mentally unstable, maybe autistic, by how he hides from the cameras and his own fans behind masks (closing inside himself), by how he speaks (i don't know if he does it on purpose, he sounds with a very closed and characteristic voice of autistic people (which is because they normally don't interact with people)), and because of his body language and hand movements when he plays (he tends to stop and do weird stuff before, in the middle and after playing)

[gmichaelz]

@jevimetal13 he's in character

[jevimetal13]

@gmichaelz Demonstrate

[deadithink]

@jevimetal13 You are incorrect. I know people who have grown up with him and taught him guitar and he is not mentally unstable or autistic. He is just a very good actor.

[asdfcrow]

@jevimetal13 google buckethead interview and click on the second result, he's not fucking autistic

[KeegansPop]

Check out his website. It tells his whole "story" about why he is who he is. This dude drops albums at a rate nearly unheard of in the industry. He is so sick, in every sense of the word.

[Sage80]

This is both the best and worst thing I've ever seen.

[SOAD390]

Y know he can't be weird as people think bc he is friends with serj tankain, shana halligan, and other gr8 singers

[rocker22496]

5:36 - 6:08 FTMFBW (For The Mother Fucking Bitches Win) 

[boltgriffinite]

melts my face every time

[boltgriffinite]

melts my face everytime



[vagfartha]

there had to have been a crossroads moment in his life where if he chose one path he would have turned into a serial killer, and if he chose the other path, he would become an amazing guitar player

[MrKHIZZLE420]

4:27 finger sweep LOL

[fatal1tytytyty]

Buckethead talking in the latest Bootsy album: watch?v=abBisFhR78s

[TheOneHarley]

405 people can suck my balls.

[OffWIthTheRain]

i think wikileaks should reveal who buckethead is

[rocker22496]

@OffWIthTheRain His name is Brian Johnson. Grew up in California. Grew up raising chickens with his grandma, which is why he wears a KFC bucket with a FUNERAL sticker on it. :) your welcome.

[MechaSixVII]

@rocker22496 Brian Carroll is bucket's name, he grew up with his Mother and Father (a high school coach) in California, and his several brothers and sisters. He grew up watching a large amount of horror movies and kung fu movies, Including Texas Chainsaw Massacre (where he gets the chickeny farmy motifs), Halloween (where he got the white mask idea), and the Elephant Man (where he got the voice). His guitar teachers were Pebber Brown, and Paul Gilbert, and he was good friends with Shawn Lane.

[mikeguitar41]

@OffWIthTheRain No, his real name is Brian Patrick Carroll, but nobody calls him Brian except for his mom

[Glazeman11]

Buckeheads Betchya cant play this 6:43-7:40 lol

[AngelosInside]

That's the weirdest guy on the planet

[Daan7000]

No matter what he fucking kicks ass

[DaFuckinSchwartz]

He wears the mask because he is ashamed of his autism not because he wants to protect his identity lolol

[Dredogg1121]

YoUr AlL uNdEr MiNd CoNtRoL

[Dredogg1121]

Ur All under mind CoNtRol!!!

[randyrhoadsliveson]

Can't help but wonder: Do you think this guy has some kind of mental condition or something? I've seen eccentric people before, but something tells me he's a little beyond eccentric, y'know?

[GNR4everrr]

Hes verry strange maby a little retarded but still is my favorite guitar player he woudt own Slash !

[CrossfireBlaze]

Guys check pictures with Buckethead unmasked on Google and you'll see his face

[erinfrigginsena]

Buckethead wears a mask because you can't see the face of God.

[sYnerGyZniGmA]

that IS his real voice

[MrMatbri]

same boreing shred yes he is brill just same old same old

[ItMightBeAChicken]

ya know i dont see why everybody just talks about the bucket and the mask...... thats some nasty guitar playing

[condemnd3]

doesnt anyone think he may just be altering his voice? he wears a bucket to keep his identity safe, if he used his real voice then everyone would recognize it and notice him if they ever actually met him unmasked, hes not retarded hes actually smart as hell for going this far to make sure noone can find out who he is

[gabrielgnzlz]

I love when he's about to play at the end and he's looking at all his stuff and then he's like "Oh yeah I'm playing my guitar I almost forgot!"

[paranoidbelly]

What a fuckhead.

[Dredogg1121]

does anyone else feel like they can play a guitar now??????????

[EpicEmpel]

@Dredogg1121 Haha every time i watched this vid ive had that feeling.

[supermaniaguitarman]

the guys a freak. fking awesome.

[rallyivan1234]

A 405 people like the video of John Sykes vs Jake E. Lee

[farishtaleal]

@TeamGreenBurrito hey, thansk a lot, hopefully people will thumbs up this, because like me, there is a lot of people that cant catch a phrase,thanks

[farishtaleal]

@TeamGreenBurrito thanks, can u tell me what the hell does he say troughout the whole video, cause I cant understand a thing

[TeamGreenBurrito]

@farishtaleal Hehe, sure; what he says next is "octave displacement is a weird sound, like if you wanna go in three directions and you are stuck in the middle" and then he procedes to wail. In the third segment he says "it's fun to go on rides in your mind or imagination and you can swirl around the rollercoaster where you can have fatalities and you can still live".

[excalivurz]

WTF!!!!!!????.....¿?¿?¿?......­.W-T-F!!!!!

[WoWBandits]

wtb subtitles

[KillingPrism]

6:47 <--- It's Giant Robot!

[MisterFreakenstein]

WTF is up with the damn puppet face thing! Its horrifying!

[The34zyD]

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm the only one that thinks the old talking severed head has alot of interesting things to say. Makes me want a bedtime story read to me by my own old talking severed head and Morgan Freeman.

[farishtaleal]

can anyone tell me what does he say at the beginning, i cant understand shit

[TeamGreenBurrito]

@farishtaleal He says "there's lots of ways to get from the bottom to the top; it's kind of like digging a hole.

[qqqaaazzz333]

at 0:51 lmao! he started to trip up! and probably thought FUCK! lol

[mangadrummer85]

now I know:Aliens exist.They wear a bucket and they play guitar.thumbs up if you agree!

[MrKittles1123]

How the heck does he do Figure 6? I know it's obviously a combination of muted hammer ons and plucks from his picking hand, but I really wish there were some detailed explanation as to what exactly he's doing. At any rate, all these licks are monstrous. 'Tis why Bucket's my favorite guitarist! :D

[Overfall1]

He really creeps me out and it makes me wonder is he playing a character or is he really like that so if anyone knows...i'd be glad if you tell me :)

[colonist067]

@Overfall1 He wears the mask because he's "socially awkward" in real life.

[Caitshift]

@colonist067

He's character called ''Buckethead'' is.

[EbonyFaery]

Oh God, I think I just jizzed. He's SO attratcive.

[GreenAsJade]

I need subtitles. WTF is he saying!?

[saintbrenna]

I wish I had the crazy skills and the super dead chicken powers Buckethead has....if only I could save the world from monsters and robots...he is GOD.

[k77jones]

is he retarted?

[mujuma]

@k77jones people believe he suffers from autism or something similar, but I don't believe it. He's merely eccentric.

[hairysaccs]

@k77jones you are retarded

[TheNonthalee]

i love his fingers

[666NyKKo]

403 don't have ears... D:

[thegrimization]

trippy dude!!!

[themultiplyx]

funny 6:33

[ParsoProductions]

"you have to get to the bottom to the top, it's kind of like digging a hole"...

ahahahahaha whatever you say bucket

[DFTBAman]

how can anybody give this a thumbs down? he has more talent in his left pinky than most humans have in their wildest dreams

[mrguano7]

@DFTBAman His left pinky is like my middle finger

[LaughingPeanutStudio]

is he mentally chalenged and whats with the hands on the walls

[spiderjonze]

@LaughingPeanutStudio by mentally challenged you mean challenged the world and we have become mental.

[ineednewcymbals]

@LaughingPeanutStudio

you know how hwen youve been playing for a long time your fingers tense up and hurt well hes straightening them against the wall

[Glockenator]

@LaughingPeanutStudio He's not mentally challenged, he's just eccentric. I think he's perfectly capable of being a normal person without the mask. As for the wall, you don't pet your walls at home?

[k77jones]

is he retarted?
