Buckethead Iron Maiden Cover - Wrathchild

[LeoKisomma]

Buckethead is a former student of Paul Gilbert anyway, so insulting either of them is insulting both of them. And lets be honest, who here would be willing to turn down tickets to a show where both of them were playing?

My first concert was Iron Maiden, so I should hate him for covering it without a singer, but I think he did a damn good job of it, and I thin Paul Gilbert's one heck of a good guitarist as well, and Buckethead is proof that he's a good teacher.

[GuitarmanIIII]

I like the other take of this tune on here. I'm glad he played this song to show he can, cause he plays some trippy stuff. Listen to the other take of this song on youtube, he nails it

[MyTouchForB]

97 fingerless people.

[sinbysin666]

[Insert guitarist] is much better than [Insert guitarist].

[ahmedtevez]

paul gilbert is more melodic than buckethead but buckethead has more emotions into his songs than any guitarist and in the end . u don't rate a guitarist by only his speed u but by his skills , his character and his songs

[AntoineHorns]

@ahmedtevez I'd say you don't rate a good guitarist at all, but well you seem to like it...

[ahmedtevez]

@AntoineHorns then teach me how to rate a good guitarist my master :D lol

[Corpsekingful]

This guy buckethead is amazing .

[MynZnusz]

This very video was the one to make me discover Buckethead about 3 years ago. First I was like "WTF?" but eventually he became my favourite guitar player and I still love him.

[slayerman89]

I really like it, but what an interesting choice of song to cover. Guess that must be what I like so much about it? Wrathchild is definitely not my favorite Maiden song but this version is pretty awesome. It's like Metallica covering Remember Tomorrow...

[scoop14u]

where was buckethead when iron maiden need him i love this tune and buckethead just flat-ass did it better no question

[Mjollnir1990]

@scoop14u does it better than... the recording.. iron Maidens live version > this.

[teamboscovp]

this just combined my two favorite things ever: Iron Maiden and Buckethead!!

[c3043952]

nice

[obiwan80]

555 333 views, yay for Buckethead!



[freewill51]

Really sounds bad without a heavy bass line. Listen to any Maiden live version, and you will agree.

[ricardoleony]

this classic whitout vocals .... ?

[Soulendeavor]

Bucket -O-Mesa! Killer phrasing! "Fucking tall" or "Pinky Small", He shreds! Very Cool! Check out my studio vocals for "The Trooper" and tell me what you think! Hope ya dig it!

-Steve

[happyads]

im into maiden.. im into buckethead.. result

[LIHAS100]

How many knows that Buckethead is Paul Gilbert in real life...this is his way to come rich;) look can you find paul Gilbert and Buckethead together anywhere:)

[ridetheligtening]

@LIHAS100 nah bucket heads pinky's are too small



[LikeDuff]

@ridetheligtening And buckethead is so fuking tall

[PuppetDani]

@LIHAS100 "This is his way to come rich"

[MrBuddinho]

@LIHAS100 How many knows that Buckethead is Prof. Stephen Hawking in real life... this is his way to come rich :D :D :D look can you find Prof. Stephen Hawking and Buckethead together anywhere :D :D :D

[guysofhell]

@LIHAS100 haha paul gilbert isnt half as good as buckethead, plus they have photos of him without his mask.

[UnknownSect333]

@guysofhell Paul Gilbert is almost as fast. But he admitted Buckethead was "quicker than I am". Paul kind of lacks the "emotion" Buckethead possesses.

[Sodacake]

@UnknownSect333 When did Paul Gilbert say that? Do you have a source? Because I have a pretty reliable source that says Gilbert is much faster than Buckethead.

[UnknownSect333]

@Sodacake It was in a Guitar One magazine I was reading at the Guitar Center one time. I saw that in there and I had to remember it.

[DelornificatioN]

@UnknownSect333 He doesn't lack it, he plays for fun - more stuff to tap your foot to. Just his style.

[UnknownSect333]

@DelornificatioN I listened to some of his more recent stuff and found it to be quite soulful. But that is true.

[GuilleGuiden]

@UnknownSect333 I doubt that Paul has said that ... but tell me where.

[UnknownSect333]

@GuilleGuiden I only think it was in a Guitar One or Total Guitar magazine. You gotta think though, Paul is one of the most modest guys in existence. Why would he not say something like that?

[YoLpIsBest]

@LIHAS100 Vitun idiootti...

[maidensentinel]

If even buckethead canot make this better than maiden.... It mean they are sent by god ! for destroy all these shitty slipknot-like bands :D !!

[bigmaxy07]

No one this good needs to wear a bucket on his head.

[34210marco]

Why do people always bring Slipknot into good guitar videos?? Can't they just leave all the slipknot crap on mtv and the watchers stay on there too please. I get on youtube to upload and watch shit that isn't on MTV and that is classic and not 9 guys wearing masks....for that I'd rather go to the circus.

[xNoobFromHell]

buckethead is the perfect guitarist for Slipknot

[HikaruTokeshi]

@xNoobFromHell How about no?

[franklouuu]

@xNoobFromHell forget it... Slipknot doesn't have any chance to become a good band

[BLOODYMOON62]

@franklouuu ??? are you mad or late?slipknot has been fucking awsome

[naffa08]

@franklouuu slipknot have always been a good band and you know it so stop hiding from the truth

[MrPsyKOlogical]

@naffa08 ever sinse the bassist died, the only talented member of that band is joey jordison

[Jamsessionroom1337]

@MrPsyKOlogical The bassist sucked ass what are you talking about...

You're just saying that cause he died, and Mick Thomson is a decent guitarist.

[emphaticleech]

@Jamsessionroom1337 Actually, I don't like Slipknot. Not since Iowa, at least... but I have to say Paul was a very capable bassist. Just listen to their first album M.F.K.R ... he pulls off some pretty sick pop/slap solos.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Jamsessionroom1337

Mick Thompson sucks balls and Paul Grey was the main songwriter in the band. Almost everything good in Slipknot was written by Paul Grey.

[snakev10v5]

@franklouuu I disagree there good, but no where near as good as this ^_^

[iFriendChannel]

@franklouuu slipknot are good though, you could be like me and enjoy both equally and not be a musical snob

[franklouuu]

@iFriendChannel So having an opinion is being a snob for you... What I find ironic is that you said that I should be like you. That is, my friend, being snob

[todnwen]

@franklouuu George Lynch commented on Slipknot a couple years ago saying why do they have more than one string on their guitars. :)

[Ddub128]

@todnwen I often ask myself the same question. lol

[Rebelsoul73]

@xNoobFromHell the only talent in slipknot is Joey J. and Paul Gray(dead)

[BucketheadWraith]

@Rebelsoul73 You do realize he can play ANY genre.

[Rebelsoul73]

@BucketheadWraith duh, i responded to another post about him being in slipknot. what does yor reply mean, quit trolling dumbass. Get off bucketheads dick

[BucketheadWraith]

@Rebelsoul73 You sir, are a tosser. :)

[Rebelsoul73]

@BucketheadWraith lmao, a what

[BucketheadWraith]

@Rebelsoul73 A wanker. :)

[julio007]

You want Bucketheads dick all for yourself or what?

[Rebelsoul73]

@julio007 im sure u do wetback

[DomestikMC]

@Rebelsoul73 shut up you fucking racist. listen to the music and stop being a fucking racist.

[kyatzz]

@xNoobFromHell Buckethead would never fit in to a wannabe metal band like slipknot

[xNoobFromHell]

@kyatzz buckethead is the perfect giutarist for Slipknot ok motherfucker? if you dont like it come here and i will show you who is the guy to punch your ass.when i speak go watch other video.look at this clown named buckethead.he looks like the other clowns from Slipknot.he just misses the red nose.ok kyatzzzzzz? if you want to answer to me go change your stupid name first and then come and speak like a real man. xNoobFromHell speaking...

[Lolonoademon]

@xNoobFromHell and you are that guy who all hates fuck you

[xNoobFromHell]

@Lolonoademon I am the guy who all hates thats right and you hate me too because you know i can punch your ass but sorry i am not homosexual so go find some clown from slipknot crowd.you also need to change your name to Lalanoademon.its more female name and fits better to a homosexual like you.By the way why do you like rock and metal music?homosexuals prefer pop music..let me answer:you dont give a shit about rock and metal music.you just like boys with long hair and moustaches thats all.

[Lolonoademon]

@xNoobFromHell you know its pretty low to call someone a homosexual if you dont know that person

btw its 2 pepole that shareing this channel me and my friend so i thin k you owe me one gibson goldtop for begin a douch bag to my friend

[Lolonoademon]

@kyatzz fuck you slipknot is hardcore shit

[skaterdouche4]

@Lolonoademon slipknot is weak shit dude, their lyrics suck seriously "If your 555 im 666"? song titles too (people=shit). not to mention they went a new low with all hope is gone

[Lolonoademon]

@skaterdouche4 thats you opiton

[waisinet]

@Lolonoademon yes, thats his Opiton.. wait.. what? whats an Opiton?

[Lolonoademon]

@waisinet wel nobodys perfect and not everybody can spell right if its not his / hers launge =P

[waisinet]

@Lolonoademon But i found Opiton to be a cool sounding word!

[Lolonoademon]

@waisinet cool

[skaterallbee10]

**PLEASE CHECK OUT MY COVER OF BUCKETHEAD'S ""BIG SUR MOON""!!! I'M ASPIRING TO BECOME A WELL-KNOWN MUSICIAN MYSELF AND YOUR CRITICISM IS THE BIGGEST STEP TO MY DREAM OF SUCCESS! THANK YOU!!**

[princesslacie99]

are people f-ing joking! rock is immortal! it will never ever die because of people like me, it doesn't matter how much the industry whores out there commercial crap, rock will live on...i mean jesus if rap is still here, rock isn't going anywhere right right!? :)

[allied1234567890]

So sorry, i know buckethead is a great player, but this cover was really a big fail... i have been an Iron Maiden fan for about 18 years now... This was REALLY bad :S (as others say, the bass is really really bad aswell)!

[Mis4el1973]

Yeah... I taught Buckethead everything he knows about playing the guitar! Erhm...

[darkjoker123321]

YOU CANT PLAY IRON MAIDEN BASS LINES WITH A PICK :( IT RUINS THE WHOLE SOUND!!!!

[FoxWBogart]

Bucket is right, but the bass player... I don't want to mess with anybody, but the fender precission bass, no, any fucking bass player who plays an Iron Maiden cover should play bass with the fingers, without pick.

The only lack I see in the buckethead's way to play is that he uses too much pickering, and Murray uses a lot of hammer and tapping technic. But Bucket is one of the greatest guitar player in the world, and Murray is pretty good, but isn't so great as Bucket :D

[QuistTV]

rockin!

[Aryon1969]

This is just Buckethead tipping his cap or bucket to Maiden and great song they did. I would pay anything if I could see him do Cowboys from Hell or anyother Pantera song. Not because I want to pit Bucket v Dimebag but because through the song it would be a way of keeping Dime in our hearts.

[stix471]

one time i actually got someone to beleive that i was buckethead it was so funny... ;D

[d3v1l3d]

i never get why people always have to compare everything to something else can't it just be yer this is good and i think this is also good no one is saying oh you can only like one guitarist so why try and make it so

[deluschewitz]

@go651 he's better than you will ever be. Search up Soothsayer or Jordan, because you be entertained by him there, he is awesome.

[MrMatbri]

well i hope he dont play with maiden i think i would just switch off

[MrMatbri]

dave has so much more feeling in this song

[cervusadfontes]

Do I get fries with this?

[go651]

damm this guy sucks!

[infinidominion]

@go651 so does Primus :P

[CelestialWoodway]

@go651 I agree. His playing bores the shit out of me.

[romaggot]

@CelestialWoodway thats cause this cover lacks the lyrics. but the guitar is just as good as the original.

[acamp2209]

@CelestialWoodway Its funny how stupid people mistake talent for stage presence. Buckethead is technically amazing, he could outplay just about any guitarist you favor that bounces around the stage and has gimmicky movements. When your as good as buckethead, moving isnt a necessity.

[MrMatbri]

@acamp2209 bh is brill but i think dave murray is better he has a sound all of his own buckethead does not

[romaggot]

@MrMatbri saying that buckethead doesnt have a style of his own is close to heresy...he is probably the greatest guitarist of our time. just search some of his live vids...he is one of those rare artists that sounds better live than in the studio+all the genres he plays...it's no contest really. i'd like to see dave murray play nottingham lace or siege engine.

[MrMatbri]

@romaggot i would like 2 c him play these 2 as im sure he could and 2 say its no contest is being a bit silly

[acamp2209]

@CelestialWoodway how does it bore you? Do you not appreciate talent? Or do you need to be entertained by a performer rather a musician?

[ineeddrugs135]

@go651 this guy is one of the best guitarist you'll ever see in yer life

[go651]

@ineeddrugs135 he fkn sucks 

[ineeddrugs135]

@go651 lol k

[happybuddyperson]

@go651 then don't watch it. go outside and appreciate nature

[1234gnrslash]

@happybuddyperson lol epic comment

[downunderkev]

very talented even if he is a strange sort of guy

[fosponomot]

everyone shut up.

[lonesalcornbug]

I wanted to mention that I love ironmaiden..dave murry and steve harris are ironmaiden but I luv bruce dickenson with them.

[lonesalcornbug]

buckethead,tom wolk tbone,henry garza,john5,and of course billy gibbons are some of the greatest..

[xXmoptop100Xx]

@timstillinghast Buckethead is not a band!

[batez1993]

@timstillinghast NO YOU WOULD FUCK IT UP

[thunzie]

Show pony.

[ronaldh33]

damn this is fucking boring

[deathstarr1111]

@Bucketbucketdog he does destroy it. ive never seen this guy play with an ounce of feeling. like his mask -emotionless.

[o0Slipdisc0o]

@deathstarr1111 Feeling is a subjective INTERNAL experience Nimrod. Just because you taste in music and understanding of it, are this shallow ... shallow to the point where you obviously need facial expressions to support what your untrained ears hear .... doesn't mean it isn't there. It's not his problem you are like this, so please don't project your ignorance on the man.

[TheVieho]

bucket head sucks -.-

he destroy this great kick ass songs..

and i dont care if somebody quot me.. u should be a faggs if u like this piece of shit..

[theSCAWP]

To settle the "Bucket is better than..." stuff think of it this way, a Ferrari Enzo is better than a Ford Mustang, but are they not both brilliant cars that you wouldn't mind owning either?!?

[Adrian92Smith]

Good cover,but he really needs rhythm guitarist or more gain.

[victorpfc23]

his flow is unique , and people say that he doesnt have any fell....

[Phia8913]

This guy is scary XD

[mikeawilson55]

andhemills ye that would be awesome

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

It's all coming back to me now. This was mandatory to have on the set list if you were a 1980s cover band.

[Thennecan]

That way to do the riffs is so fucking cool!!!

[rmoss94]

No one is even close to this guys skills he is the greateast ever to play the axe,

[romaggot]

@rmoss94 true, but still a little sad since most people get turned off by the bucket and mask and don't stick around to hear what could possibly be the best guitarist in the world. Like all the genius people, he will be appreciated only when he will be gone :(

[deancramer]

I'm counting the days...

[1234gnrslash]

@romaggot Aww! So he will never be appreciated then? :/

[McMinnManiac]

Typical assholes .This is what i have to say Copy Slash Copy Hendrix Copy Johnny winter copy Malmsteen Copy bucket head , then do everything BUT COPY and that will be YOU

[Metalpulsecannon]

FAKE!

Joke lol:P

Now we know who's under the mask! It's Adrian Smith! ;)

God, I rambling, because I'm still in shock and awe over how good that was:D

[MrSlaynn]

i just want to see one epic guitar battle between the greatest living guitarists, i'm putting my money on buckethead.

[andhemills]

All I know is, if I played bass for Buckethead, I would wear a mask, but I'd go without a bucket. Although, I might get a Burger King crown!

[retardwatch]

@andhemills or a mcdonalds bag haha XD

[willibear7]

@andhemills ....or, you could wear that Burger King Head mask thing that scares people lol

[infinidominion]

@andhemills the BK crown should say Murder King

[djteac]

@andhemills at least we can be sure you would get a lot of girls!

[NicoEmma1]

Am I the only one to believe the others musicians sound crappy ??

[flamby357]

@NicoEmma1 no your are not only

[Bulletfanman100]

he can basically anything

[Praetorian27]

He is so precise it amazes me

[kylecyclopdoddsmole]

@TDGfanatic12 so u look at peoples face when they r playing music. MAAAN ur stupid

[PatoneLol]

Hey, I've known Buck's bassist a while ago!

[thebehmont1]

@PatoneLol - Yeah,of course you have...

[sparkykid68]

Iron Maiden...and Buckethead!?!?

[monkeymunky666]

Buckethead is fucking nasty. much like Mattias. Give credit where it's due.

[muddiggers64]

slash is a cool guitarist, but thats before we heard mr. "BUCKETHEAD"!!!

[NicoEmma1]

Show your face, you're scary !

[romaggot]

@NicoEmma1 without his mask, he is not buckethead. that will never happen.

[sexypsuedonym]

easy to wake up in the morning to this!!!!!!!

it brings 'the promise of a better day'; somehow.

[Wankano]

Ridículo !! Só sabe fazer palhaçada com a guitarra, quando tenta tocar uma música de verdade não consegue, desafina nos bends, fica metendo notas atrás de notas sem nenhuma pegada ! Adrian Smith, Dave Murray e Slash tem muuuuito mais pegada. Deve ser por isto que se esconde atrás desta mascara !!

[dariotitirilo]

@Wankano andá a escuchar lambada, brasilero sordo

[oaskdio]

@Wankano

velho para de defecar no teclado

o kra toca pra kralho

nunk precisou de banda nenhuma mto menos do guns pra ser um dos melhor do mundo

quem se esconde atras de mascaras são alguns outros ai que só tem nome por causa da banda

[axaxa12321]

the bassguitar is just f***in sick

[axaxa12321]

the bass is just f***in sick

[stealhty1]

FEAR THIS.......

[bigjoe456]

BUCKETHEAD IS GOD IN DISGUISE!

[JameoIsAnEpicWin]

Saying Slash is the best in the world is worse than liking dragonforce

IN MY OPINION SO DONT HATE LMAO.

[Smiler94666]

slash is shit... xD

[97AsV]

FUCKERS BYCKETHED OR WTF IS HIS NAME IS DUMBSHIT. THE BEST GUITARIST EVER WAS SLASH.

[minib00mpola]

@97AsV get out of there little kid - troll

[1xDRCx]

@97AsV Slash isn't even close to being the best guitarist, he is a great guitarist, but even he knows he's not the best. i'd say the greatest guitarist of all time was jimi hendrix, slash isn't the greatest, buckethead isn't the greatest either why don't you go to some slash videos and talk with the other retards who think slash is the best guitarist in the world. music is continually evolving, a day will come when an even greater guitarist is born, later even he will be surpassed.

[gleucoma]

@97AsV was slash you said it! buckethead is the best guitar player :P

[97AsV]

@gleucoma  buckethead.. isn't a guitarist:|

[mrowcze]

it is Paul Gilbert....

[Budokay95]

I am re Buckethead fan but you do not appoint in each video osea Slash not put comments on who is best on the song comeneten some idiots think

[GuitarMasterRicky13]

@adamarchambault its true buckethead is more technical, but he has songs that are all soul too.

[MrTheVoiceless]

If you are a buckethead fan. go to mu channel and take a look at " my song to buckethead" se what you think!

[malcolmX213]

This bass line doesn't sound as good with a pick, fact.

[DanSkaMetal813]

flawless cover

[thednlchess]

The Best Cover

[Piten4]

Ahhhh...... soo nice to listen to buckethead before going to sleep

[NipplesMagee]

One of the Best Covers!

[Nevanator7]

@NipplesMagee One?

[DotaGatekeeper]

thumbs up for slash

[transploft8]

@DotaGatekeeper

Thats NOT Slash !!

\0/

[DotaGatekeeper]

@transploft8 i know man but look at coments...for me slash is better
