Wanna know a cool fact? Joe taught Vai, and Buckethead was friends with Joe back in '96. Joe was there for them for a while when he was on tour, so he is the master at Buckethead and Vai's skills.
I'm Pretty Sure buckethead Never Did Drugs! WTF?! Who Cares Who's The best?!?! All Guitarist Are Pretty much The Same. They Don't Care About Who's better, Only the FANS care About that! (: im done
Buckethead>Satch>Vai. Buckethead is just the God of guitar imo. He can play pretty much any genre and always leaves a staple on these things letting you know that it's him. He can come up with 13 freaking albums in 1 year and they are all good. Satriani has the most imagination, but some of his songs have absolutely none if you know what I mean. He also invented the pitch axis theory which guitar players are eternally in his debt for. Vai... great guitar player, but better composer.
Buckethead gets my vote. All you guys who say his music sucks, you clearly have no idea. He delves into a lot of genres, but his main genre is the avant-garde/experimental rock side. So of course to someone who is used to listening to amazing melodic guitar solos Buckethead's music would be deemed "sucky" or "gay". But listen to songs liek Spell of teh Gypsies, Lone Sal Bug, Andrew Henrys Meadow, Sail On Soothsayer etc....who says Buckethead doesn't have emotion?
Just because you can transcribe something doesn't mean you can play it. Guthrie Govan can transcribe Shawn Lane material all he wants, but he will never be able to play everything Shawn Lane did. I doubt anybody ever will.
they are all great in their own special ways..i vote bucket head for innovation & exploration then steve vai for being the technician he is..and satch for his wonderfull melodic adventures..all three are great love em.
@superchef74 not all, that's like saying tristiano taught satch everything. vai has as much zappa in his stuff as joe. i like them all but vai and satch the most.
Seen them all live and Vai is the only one I've wanted to see again and again and again. which is better is a rediculous question. they are all awesome and have their own sound and are immediately recognizable. they are all also selling out shows which is something most of us who are posting have never done!

Gentlemen, it's not that one is better than the other. All have put in the time it takes to develope their craft. All three have incredible skills and express their playing in differnent ways. With the exception of a physical limitation, such as Satch's hands are much smaller than both Vai's and BH's, each are talented enough to learn the others music. For stretches Satch couldn't make, he'd simply improvise. Just enjoy great playing in all styles.
ehhh cmon. all buckithead does is shread....and he doesnt write very good music, vai was satrianis student, its not hard to figure out whos better there. my point is buckethead is pritty good, but all he does is shread, shread shread. satiani could run circles around him. theres only a few pwoplw that can compete with satriani. like john petrucci. hes in the same ballpark
@rjohnston96 once you said "all buckethead does is shred", i stopped reading...he has over 30 albums, some of which have over 30 songs...he has a bunch of songs on classical and acoustic guitars, and a bunch on electric that doesn't even have any shredding in them...listen to more than one of his songs before you make ignorant statements like that.
@kakusger i have all of them, and ive only bought 2 of them, i refused to spend any more money on his albums till i figured out whether they would get better, his best skill certainly isnt writing music, i hate his albums for the most part. im not dumb, i pay attention, its just difficult to try and place him in the same group as satriani, both in style and in skill level.
@rjohnston96 ok i get how you don't like his "style" or sound, that's an opinion, but when it comes to pure skill, buckethead mops the floor with them
@kakusger with satriani? what the hell is wrong with you? vai is even beter than him, but i dont much care for him. buckethead is good, but hes not by any means the best
@rjohnston96 dude your being completely bias, judging by technicality, complexity, speed, and creativity, buckethead is better...buckethead can play whatever satriani and vai can play, but i would laugh if they even attempted to learn one of buckethead's technical songs...here's one of his videos if you haven't seen it /watch?v=yaCErlW-3p8, idk if you play guitar or not, but emphasis on figures 2, 5, and the last one...also i never said he is the best
@kakusger what the fuck is stuck in your ass? are you retartded? buckethead just isnt that great. hes good, but not amazing. ive heard nearly every song from satriani, and alot for buckethead, satriani has FAR superior creative writing skills, but thats besides the point. i cant tell you how many videos ive seen with buckethead where i was like "wow all shreding no rythem". his "technical songs are a fucking cake walk for satriani, i can tell you that. accualy pay attention
Não dá pra comparar a genialidade de Buckethead e a complexidade de sua obra com meros virtuosos da guitarra como Steve Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen, Petrucci, e outros caras que estão aí tocando os mesmos fraseados de sempre e se auto plagiando a mais de 20 anos. Buckethead é alguém a frente do nosso tempo. Sua obra é vasta, inovadora e impetuosa, sem pretensão alguma de agradar fã e muito menos a crítica especializada ($). Buckethead é uma criatura cósmica, etérea, sensível e infinita...
Vai , Satriani , Malmsteen , Paul Gilbert , Vai's dog (he's actually good!), Jimmy page (stairway to heaven is my fav song of all time that's why) , Justin bieber (ok just kiddin') , and ...... well chose who's next (apart BucketheClown)
Nah dude, Buckethead qualifies as the "everything" in this case, not Vai. He plays (literally) a good 7-10 times more genres than Vai. Buckethead is the most diverse and overall creative on this list in my opinion. Joe Satriani is the most musically advanced and influential. Vai is the best at mixing guitar with different instruments and whatnot. To be frankly honest though, I never get used to how annoying Vai's use of the whammy bar is.
I find 'Jordan' more compelling than pretentious FTLOG or anything Steve Vai has ever made. Not that I'm fan of Buckethead, not at all. I'm Satriani fan.
@JoePruzhanovLi why....why diss buckethead? this video sucks because it uses jordan as a staple from bh, when in fact he has dozens of much better and emotional songs. you would know that if u actually took the time to listen to him before passing judgement. also THE BUCKET AND MASK ARE NOT IMPORTANT. Emotion is not in the face, but comes from the guitar.
but it's your loss if you choose not to listen to him.
@Koroar So here is a little bit of Buckethead for you: Animal Behavior(live): watch?v=VF9UMona74w Scraps(live): watch?v=Hh9Zrc-JgVI Whitewash(live): watch?v=p-7x8p_ppBg Sanctum: watch?v=5zTvAgnL28E Padmasana(live): watch?v=uT-V4_VDKaA Hope you like these =) There's a lot more Buckethead stuff I like, anyways.
@JoePruzhanovLi dude get real buckethead kick both their asses and yes buckethead doest need to be compered to these two hes better than them by sooo much
@BiggerThinking1 I have 128 awesome Buckethead songs on my I-pod and I'm picky. Nobody else even comes close to this number great songs for me. Suppose you havent gone through Bucks neverending onslaught of awesomeness so you just know not of what you speak. Slash is cool but Buckethead prob released more albums last year than Slash has his entire career.
@BiggerThinking1 (BUCKETHEAD) Sail on soothsayer- soothsayer- the way to heaven- final wars- all in the waiting- lurker at the threshold- too many humans- peppers ghost- earth heals herself- angel monster- padmasana- syphoning sequence- aunt suzie- sea of expanding shapes- lotus islans- whitewash- for mom- king james- seige engine- broken mirror- rammellzee- inferno- nottingham lace- brewer in the air- stretching lighthouse- baptism of solitude- witches on the heath- ghost host- big ds touch-
@oddlyreasonable Satch, vai, BH are mainly scale masters - with little feeling - slash may stick to relatively simple scales - but he has better rhythmic variations - hence it sounds better to many (in my experience its usually young people who dont understand the subtleties and think guitar lead are simply about "fast" fingering of the notes. It's not about that (only)
@BiggerThinking1 again you have no idea about Buckethead's music or his fans. the kids discovered him and are showing their parents his music. And as for me I'm 35 and I've got my dad and my girlfriends dad hooked on Buckethead. And they know good music. Buckethead has nascar drivers, boxers, and judges who are fans. Slash probably even listens to Buckethead. Dude I've heard every single Slash song available I even have a GNR playlist on my channel. You're opinion is valid but prob uneducated.
@BiggerThinking1 I wonder if you've even listened to some of Satriani's songs... He definitely does put his feeling into his playing. He plays lots of styles. Sure, his sound is recognizable, but there's no doubt he doesn't just master scales, but also plays with feeling... even the rock songs. Maybe you should try listening to some of his slower songs like I Believe, You Saved My Life or Ten Words.
His only song I dislike is Woodstock Jam and he's got about 160 songs. Really, give it a listen
@BiggerThinking1 Slash have 3 or 4 good solos, those are not songs made by slash (and the solo album is not that great) I suggest you to stop thinking slash is the best on heart, and hear more vai´s and buckethead´s songs, cause maybe you lack the experience and knowledge to say such a vague and poor comment.
@hugoalfa its more like 13 or 14 great solos - ande of course he didnt write the drums bass = he's a guitarist - satriani putting on a shitty drum machine doesnt constitute him as a more complete song writer - and hes only got 4 good solos. buckethead just uses delay and FX (sure he prolly got the worlds fastest fingers but stiff shit - it sounds crap! No soul! Vai? havent heard a single good sound from him!
@BiggerThinking1 making a solo is not as hard as making a whole song, I do not refer to adding drum machins (thats BS), and vai and buckethead have made around 150 songs each. I can bet you havent heard even the half of their songs. In the end all is personal preference, but slash is a overvaluated guitarrist. Its playing is good, he put feeling on his playing (thats what they say,I do not find it spectacular) and have a load pack of blind fans around, but he is not better than BH, satch, or vai
@BiggerThinking1 be better than me? You're crazy ... are you kidding me? I like to play the guitar like Buckethead, no like the shit like Slash.
I dont want to play guitar with the fucking shit like as "paulina rubio" or with "The Black eyed peace"
i'm better than you and if you suppose slash is better, you have no brain. so, learn to listen to the real creators of music, no crap like that Slash is it...
@xX0UndegrounD0Xx still, that wasnt necessary... you over did it... you can not say you are better than sombody just because you prefer something, but yeah, slash is not that great.
@BiggerThinking1 20? no, you have mistake he have 200... dicks on her mouth... dammit you´re very crazy,
only for 3 solos owns jajjajajaaja is it good guitarrist? hear buckethead´s and vai´s solos, buckethead have between 150 songs and vai also. so, let me be and learn to listen. be happy if you can!
@BiggerThinking1 ¬¬ kid...... pfff you are boring... let's listen really music, y dejare de hablar con una persona como tu, pareces de 6 años diciendo cosas sin sentido, asi que mejor has algo productivo
from a technical point of veiw i think satriani is the best i prefer listening to vai cause his rythm sections are more interesting and whos buckethead
BH, Satriani, n Vai uhm cant be compared three legendary guitarist alive still Bucketheads the youngest n edge to be still my fav but on certain days i turn off the bh switch for a lil while n cut on Satriani n listen to him day n night , even try to learn how to play his songs , now Steve vai is a master as well if any thing he's not the fastest of the three (that'll be buckethead) but his notes are dead on more accurate when he shreds,
slash and angus, play with feeling, satriani is more virtuous, but I like less, guitarists are measured by taste, if you like it more satriani satriani the first, satriani only 4 songs I like many others I feel sorry for not having your opinion my friend
@markway16 slash obviously isnt a virtuoso like vai or BH or Satriani but he isnt bad. i dont understand all the hate on slash. hes got great songs and hes a good technical player.
@Rodrython4 ok i totally agree with ur comment no slash is not bad , i think alot of people got upset (well atleast for me) when i heard ppl saying slash is better then Buckethead. before i heard that i was diggin slash on guitarhero n what not n now its like Grrr i wont pick slash char again lol. but i just watched slash play hey joe by jimi hendrix n it was nice so slash def can play
@Rodrython4 i think he is over rated by a lot of people but he puts a lot of emotion in ti his songs and maybe he cant play at 99 notes per second but it sounds great
Buckethead isn't even in the top ten. Jesus, put him and Shawn Lane 1 & 2 for all I care, but honestly, as LISTENABLE music, he just isnt there. Page, Beck, Satch, Vai, Hendrix, are all GREAT guitarists, but more importantly, GREAT SONGWRITERS and composers. This guy has more technical ability than probably anyone I've seen, but I wouldn't want to listen to it. On the other hand, put on Dazed and Confused LIVE (20+ minutes), and it never gets old. Has some of the best licks of all time.FLUID
@LithuanianGuitar - Wow, do I really NEED to listen to EVERY SONG to form an opinion?? I have heard enough. Have you heard EVERY song from EVERY artist you think he is better than????????? OK THEN. DUUUHHH.
@mmmDONUTS71 umad? I didn't say EVERY SONG. What I actually mean that your claim about how bucket's music is not listenable is absolute bullshit. :) Also I don't really compare guitar players, because there isn't better, everyone has their own style. Sometimes I like to check these videos to see some people stating their opinions about guitar players. It would be nice if you would produce an argument on why BH's music isn't listenable :).
@LithuanianGuitar My opinion that his music IS NOT LISTENABLE is the same as yours that IT IS. It's called an opinion. I really didn't think that was so hard to understand, but apparently, it is. I don't like to listen to Buckethead's music. Damn man, is it hurting your feelings that much? I much prefer music that I feel has a point, such as MOST of Satch's or Vai's stuff, Jimmy Page, or SRV. I love Jeff Beck. DONT CARE FOR BUCKETHEAD. I'm not the only one man, get over yourself.
@mmmDONUTS71 You clearly do not understand me :). I accept opinions, but I will argue them when I see obvious flaws in them. I asked you for an argument. So far you haven't provided any :) And also, what my feelings have to do with this?
@LithuanianGuitar - Clearly you are an idiot. What is there to argue? You like Bucketdick, and I cannot stand to listen to it, and FIND IT UNLISTENABLE. Is She your girlfriend or what? lol. You have a very thick skull dumb dumb. There are NO FLAWS in what I say, AS ITS MY PERSONAL OPINION. I REALLY don't think you know what an opinion is. I FIND HIS "MUSIC" UNLISTENABLE. Wow. Sounds like MY OPINION. Are you a member of the 3rd reich, and don't believe in opinions? LOL, you lonely loser.
@mmmDONUTS71 So I guess I can't disagree with opinions? And about your other insults... Those are pretty damn childish and immature, I do not even bother giving a shit about it. Your ignorance is pretty obvious there as you still can't put any arguments on why buckethead isn't listenable. Will I also have to teach you history? 3rd reich doesn't exist anymore :).
@LithuanianGuitar - LOL you are such a jackass it's hilarious. THERE ISNT AN ARGUEMENT NEEDED AS TO WHY I DONT THINK HE IS LISTENABLE. ITS MY OPINION, SO WHY SHOULE YOU CARE???? You are without question, the biggest fanboy I've ever seen on here! Try getting laid sometime, it should help. =)
@mmmDONUTS71 Fanboy? Just because I like listening to Buckethead I'm a fanboy? Your statments are ridicioulous and your maturity is obviously low. And argument not needed? Why should I care? BECAUSE I FIND YOUR STATEMENT HIGHLY FLAWED. And as long as it is obviously idiotic, it needs an argument. I mean, have you listened to his instrumentals like Whitewash, Siege Engine? Not listenabe? Hmm... Let me guess, ear problems? Or just trolling? :)
@LithuanianGuitar - YES, you ARE a Fanboy you dolt. You're a fanboy because you are so fan up this guy's rear end it's pathetic. My statement ISNT FLAWED, AS IT (get this fanboy) IS AN O-P-I-N-I-O-N. You really need to stay in school I think, or change schools. There is NO VALIDITY to stating somone's OPINION on a certain band, or music is flawed, as it's art, and everyone has a different opinion. Some people love Van Gogh's art, some hate it. ITS CALLED OPINION. You are such a moron. lol
@mmmDONUTS71 Listen, genius. When I actually challenge your opinion it's called a D-I-S-C-U-S-S-I-O-N. And I'm guessing your logic is - people can't argue opinions? For example, I have a certain opinion about your statement. In my opinion, your statement is flawed (1st of all - no arguments, 2nd of all - to many people Buckethead's music is listenable pretty damn well). And you start putting up claims that I'm a fanboy?! That doesn't even make sense.
@mmmDONUTS71 I also see that you can't handle a rational discussion without calling someone an idiot. Because your statements pretty much have no valid arguments and are based on childish and moronic insults to people who disaggree with your opinions. Could you please FOR ONCE put out atleast a single valid argument - why buckethead's music isn't listenable? Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get an answer, but probably another lame insult (idiot, fanboy, etc.) :)
@LithuanianGuitar - I dont find his music LISTENABLE BECAUSE I THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT MUSIC YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT. Wow, Clear enough for you? Hey, if you tell me you don't like pizza, why would I care to ask you why? Because I'm not a lonely douche, like you, who needs to be heard. Pretty simple man, I don't need to break down my thoughts to you in pie chart form in order for your feeble mind to understand a simple statement. You are the MOST DESPERATE person I've ever seen on here. LOL
@mmmDONUTS71 umad? lmao If I needed to be heard, I would spam the fuck out of every youtube video and diss everyone who dislikes buckethead. Sorry, but I don't do that. In fact I like various of different artists. And I respect opinions. But I found yours pretty ridicioulous. Kinda weird that you call me "a douche who needs to be heard" since I saw your trolling on other buckethead videos dissing him :). Pretty hypocritical.
@mmmDONUTS71 Desperate? Hmm... Do you know me? You you just bring up these claims based on my thoughts/opinion about your statements? Also, pizza is food, Buckethead is music. Of course you woudn't care to ask me why. Because my statement wouldn't be "Pizza isn't eatable. It just can't be compared to Burritos". It would be absolutely stupid. And I don't ask you to put your every thought. Just give one valid argument on why buckethead isn't listenable.
@mmmDONUTS71 So you said it isn't listenable because it sounds like shit music.
What is so shit in his music? Solos? Song structure? Repetetive stuff? What makes him "worse" than Joe Satriani or Steve Vai. (Btw. Joe Satriani is also among my fav. guitar players. Told that so you wouldn't show your stupidity and call me a fanboy of BH).

Não dá pra comparar a genialidade de Buckethead e a complexidade de sua obra com meros virtuosos da guitarra como Steve Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen, Petrucci, e outros caras que estão aí tocando os mesmos fraseados de sempre e se auto plagiando a mais de 20 anos. Buckethead é alguém a frente do nosso tempo. Sua obra é vasta, inovadora e impetuosa, sem pretensão alguma de agradar fã e muito menos a crítica especializada ($). Buckethead é uma criatura cósmica, etérea, sensível e infinita...

Buckethead = drugz

Vai = everything.
All of them are great guitar players.

Nah dude, Buckethead qualifies as the "everything" in this case, not Vai. He plays (literally) a good 7-10 times more genres than Vai. Buckethead is the most diverse and overall creative on this list in my opinion. Joe Satriani is the most musically advanced and influential. Vai is the best at mixing guitar with different instruments and whatnot. To be frankly honest though, I never get used to how annoying Vai's use of the whammy bar is.

@monsterhunterbrad
Ok lets look at it this way.
Joe satriani: practically invented shredding and modern solo music.
Steve vai: Huge innovator of guitar and composition, plays a variety of styles, some with speed, all with emotion.
Buckethead: Churns out an endless string of scales and has a chicken fetish.
Paul Gilbert is a better version of buckethead, Gilbert can actually compose unlike this clown.
JoePruzhanovLi 8 months ago
@JoePruzhanovLi why....why diss buckethead? this video sucks because it uses jordan as a staple from bh, when in fact he has dozens of much better and emotional songs. you would know that if u actually took the time to listen to him before passing judgement. also THE BUCKET AND MASK ARE NOT IMPORTANT. Emotion is not in the face, but comes from the guitar.
but it's your loss if you choose not to listen to him.

Buckethead doesn't deserve to be compared to the other 2.

@BiggerThinking1 I have 128 awesome Buckethead songs on my I-pod and I'm picky. Nobody else even comes close to this number great songs for me. Suppose you havent gone through Bucks neverending onslaught of awesomeness so you just know not of what you speak. Slash is cool but Buckethead prob released more albums last year than Slash has his entire career.

@oddlyreasonable Satch, vai, BH are mainly scale masters - with little feeling - slash may stick to relatively simple scales - but he has better rhythmic variations - hence it sounds better to many (in my experience its usually young people who dont understand the subtleties and think guitar lead are simply about "fast" fingering of the notes. It's not about that (only)
BiggerThinking1 11 months ago
@BiggerThinking1 again you have no idea about Buckethead's music or his fans. the kids discovered him and are showing their parents his music. And as for me I'm 35 and I've got my dad and my girlfriends dad hooked on Buckethead. And they know good music. Buckethead has nascar drivers, boxers, and judges who are fans. Slash probably even listens to Buckethead. Dude I've heard every single Slash song available I even have a GNR playlist on my channel. You're opinion is valid but prob uneducated.
oddlyreasonable 11 months ago
@BiggerThinking1 I wonder if you've even listened to some of Satriani's songs... He definitely does put his feeling into his playing. He plays lots of styles. Sure, his sound is recognizable, but there's no doubt he doesn't just master scales, but also plays with feeling... even the rock songs. Maybe you should try listening to some of his slower songs like I Believe, You Saved My Life or Ten Words.
His only song I dislike is Woodstock Jam and he's got about 160 songs. Really, give it a listen

@BiggerThinking1 Slash have 3 or 4 good solos, those are not songs made by slash (and the solo album is not that great) I suggest you to stop thinking slash is the best on heart, and hear more vai´s and buckethead´s songs, cause maybe you lack the experience and knowledge to say such a vague and poor comment.
hugoalfa 11 months ago
@hugoalfa its more like 13 or 14 great solos - ande of course he didnt write the drums bass = he's a guitarist - satriani putting on a shitty drum machine doesnt constitute him as a more complete song writer - and hes only got 4 good solos. buckethead just uses delay and FX (sure he prolly got the worlds fastest fingers but stiff shit - it sounds crap! No soul! Vai? havent heard a single good sound from him!
BiggerThinking1 11 months ago
@BiggerThinking1 making a solo is not as hard as making a whole song, I do not refer to adding drum machins (thats BS), and vai and buckethead have made around 150 songs each. I can bet you havent heard even the half of their songs. In the end all is personal preference, but slash is a overvaluated guitarrist. Its playing is good, he put feeling on his playing (thats what they say,I do not find it spectacular) and have a load pack of blind fans around, but he is not better than BH, satch, or vai

Buckethead isn't even in the top ten. Jesus, put him and Shawn Lane 1 & 2 for all I care, but honestly, as LISTENABLE music, he just isnt there. Page, Beck, Satch, Vai, Hendrix, are all GREAT guitarists, but more importantly, GREAT SONGWRITERS and composers. This guy has more technical ability than probably anyone I've seen, but I wouldn't want to listen to it. On the other hand, put on Dazed and Confused LIVE (20+ minutes), and it never gets old. Has some of the best licks of all time.FLUID

@mmmDONUTS71 umad? I didn't say EVERY SONG. What I actually mean that your claim about how bucket's music is not listenable is absolute bullshit. :) Also I don't really compare guitar players, because there isn't better, everyone has their own style. Sometimes I like to check these videos to see some people stating their opinions about guitar players. It would be nice if you would produce an argument on why BH's music isn't listenable :).
LithuanianGuitar 1 year ago
@LithuanianGuitar My opinion that his music IS NOT LISTENABLE is the same as yours that IT IS. It's called an opinion. I really didn't think that was so hard to understand, but apparently, it is. I don't like to listen to Buckethead's music. Damn man, is it hurting your feelings that much? I much prefer music that I feel has a point, such as MOST of Satch's or Vai's stuff, Jimmy Page, or SRV. I love Jeff Beck. DONT CARE FOR BUCKETHEAD. I'm not the only one man, get over yourself.
mmmDONUTS71 1 year ago

@mmmDONUTS71 Fanboy? Just because I like listening to Buckethead I'm a fanboy? Your statments are ridicioulous and your maturity is obviously low. And argument not needed? Why should I care?

You really need to stay in school I think, or change schools. There is NO VALIDITY to stating somone's OPINION on a certain band, or music is flawed, as it's art, and everyone has a different opinion. Some people love Van Gogh's art, some hate it. ITS CALLED OPINION. You are such a moron. lol

@mmmDONUTS71 Listen, genius. When I actually challenge your opinion it's called a D-I-S-C-U-S-S-I-O-N. And I'm guessing your logic is - people can't argue opinions? For example, I have a certain opinion about your statement. In my opinion, your statement is flawed (1st of all - no arguments, 2nd of all - to many people Buckethead's music is listenable pretty damn well). And you start putting up claims that I'm a fanboy?! That doesn't even make sense.

@mmmDONUTS71 I also see that you can't handle a rational discussion without calling someone an idiot.
