Buckethead- For mom

[bigd6ful]

what an amazing musician

[SevenTillDawn]

Diary of a madman intro

[pillangames]

I love this song... ;)

[sunset2880]

17 people's mother is alcoholic.

[Dreadlord67]

@sunset2880 What is wrong with you? I understand it's a chain comment, but this is not related to the video or song whatsoever...highly disappointed..

[truthseek173]

wonder if funeral on his head has anything to do with death of the ego. i love this person... thank you.

[TheLepralord]

My mother passed away two days ago. I hope she can hear this song.

[EscapingMortality]

@TheLepralord Dude, we love you.

[bass5ynapse]

Beautiful.

[cowsofevil]

I'm glad 398,283 people were able to listen to this song!

[Rapapajarie]

@cowsofevil I am glad you shared this song..

[omegapwnZZ]

these songs are so easy to jam to on drums

[cod4TheDriver01]

I would like to meet HIM obviously, but I'm courios about his parents too. They surely had something special. Thank u.

[runthemachine]

Doesn't the beginning of this sound like it may have been inspired by Randy Rhoads? Diary of a Madman... freakin' GREAT song, and BH gets his inspirations from everywhere!

Would love to write something this pretty for my Mom. =)

[deadeye146]

@runthemachine Yes it definitely was, Randy Rhoads was one of his many inspirations!

[axderaq]

Some musicians, I may listen to their so called 'hits' and maybe I like only a small part of it that barely lasts 6 seconds; however buckethead, all of his songs I'm fully compatible from beginning to end

[RetroSparkles]

Such a beautiful, incredible song.

Buckethead is fucking amazing.

[Grimtheguitarguru]

Buckethead. Such a passionate person

[TheDi3G027]

i tried playin this song..... letz juss say my fingers are broken..

[MichaelJordanable]

I started today to watch buckets videos,... and when i did saw a name "for mom" , i knew it... hes playing guitar from soul.

[SeraphinBR]

it's so sad to listen to this song after know his history...

ohh wait i don't know his history... well it's still a sad song )':

[GasserVsGoodyball]

whenever I want to have a nice good cry, I listen to this song

[DeadNorwegianBlue]

My one critique: The drummer needs to lighten up.

[elarki]

@DeadNorwegianBlue yeah sounds like he is not listening : S

[mikeyg789]

@DeadNorwegianBlue buckethead doesnt have a drummer, he does everthing himself, youve never been to one of his shows obviously

[DeadNorwegianBlue]

@mikeyg789 He doesn't always have one live, but Buckethead does use drummers. Pinchface and Brain are the two most common drummers that play with him.

Maybe you shouldn't be a stuck up prick to people, especially if your own knowledge is wrong...

[mikeyg789]

@DeadNorwegianBlue get outta mommys basement and go see a live show then talk to me

[DeadNorwegianBlue]

@mikeyg789 I have been to concerts, apparently more than you. I have to thank fidiricuo for posting this video that proves I'm right.

/watch?v=S-woe3SCAaA

Tell me, what is that person doing behind a drum set?

Now tell me, why are you being such a douchebag to fellow bot?

[mikeyg789]

@DeadNorwegianBlue were you there? i asked you a question pretentious piece of shit, then go album by album and see how many albums had drummers on them..dont worry i'll wait...

[DeadNorwegianBlue]

@mikeyg789 I guess it doesn't matter what I say, you'll ignore it and just swear at me which obviously proves that you're right. So, forgive me for being a raging dumbass troll, I won't waste anymore of your time

[mikeyg789]

@DeadNorwegianBlue youve been exposed as a moron, move on

[RandomProcras]

@mikeyg789 Congratulations, not only did you prove that youre a dumbass who always thinks hes right and doesnt know when to shut up, like the other guy, but that youre a complete ass. Doesnt winning feel good

Now shut up and just listen to the music

[mikeyg789]

@RandomProcras guess what? nobody cares what you think e-thug, have fun with the anuerysm

[RandomProcras]

@DeadNorwegianBlue Congratulations, you just proved that youre a dumbass who doesnt know when to shutup

[herowithpsp]

Buckethead, you're a religion

[DanteCubit3000]

16 people wish they loved their moms like Buckethead loves his mom.

[deDqq2Hu]

16 people were born in a labratory via cloning and therefore have no mother.

[ToTheMaxxxxxx]

i wonder if bucketmom is listening

[SimonandLewis]

@ToTheMaxxxxxx Bucketmom and dad are dead :(

[FreeScience]

The intro of this song must be very inspired by Diary Of a Madman :)

[ballsofcotton11]

@FreeScience you know when Ozzy went solo Bucket auditioned to be his new guitarist. Ozzy wanted him to take off the mask but Bucket refused and Randy Rhoads became his guitarist, one of Bucket's idols.

[2MrTwoCents2]

@ballsofcotton11 Lol I heard that too man, BUT Buckethead was like 11 when Randy joined Ozzy..

[ballsofcotton11]

@2MrTwoCents2 yeah an think about it if he was good enough that all ozzy wanted was him to take off the mask thn holy hell lol

[FreeScience]

@ballsofcotton11 Rather Zakk Wylde :). Randy died some 10 years earlier. But it's absolutely true that Brian is a fan of Randy. In "Welcome to bucketheadland" one riff is the same as in "Crazy Train", it's a pretty basic riff so it could be "subconsciously" used by Buckethead, but more probably it's a homage to Randy.

[ballsofcotton11]

@FreeScience Oh I imagine so, any guitarist who doesn't respect Randy Rhoads does not belong near a guitar. Zakk Wylde is un-fucking-believeable and I would love to see a jam with Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, and Buckethead. That'd be one hell of a concert.

[Trippy231]

HE'S GOT A BUCKET ON HIS HEEEEAAAAD!!!!!!!!

[tornbetween2worlds6]

why the FUCK is fred in the suggestions?

[YesLloyd94]

@tornbetween2worlds6 because his mum is missing.. nah im just kidding

[bucketofshrimp9897]

@tornbetween2worlds6 Because he is in high hopes of bucket head to rub off some of his awsomeness from this video to him.

[KLAANITSIJA]

@tornbetween2worlds6 How dare you to swear in a video like this. Shame on you!

[snakev10v5]

@KLAANITSIJA there there ignore him, we have the music :)

[Quetzecoatl]

A friend once asked me. "Why do you think Buckethead is the greatest guitar player alive?". I showed him this song, and when it was over, I just looked him in the eye and told him this. "Buckethead has the most amount of soul in his music than any guitar player I've ever heard."

[GrizCC]

@Quetzecoatl

Cool?



[DJSkinnyHo]

@Quetzecoatl You should have said something that DIDN'T make you sound stupid...

[herowithpsp]

I was just listening to this then my mom came here and said this song makes her feel like she's dreaming because it's so relaxing. She never really comments on any of my music though.

[fenderstratguy]

This song is a beautiful contribution to humanity

[Serie312]

I Secretly Love My Mom!

[AVFC0711]

@Serie312

the use of the word "secretly" makes that comment sound very strange..........

[debbielove79]

@Serie312 eh?? what do you mean with it...

that souds odd indeed.... are you affraid to say : i love you mom?

or are you in love wuith your mother... :O...

[Serie312]

@debbielove79 you dirty minded SOAB! :)

[debbielove79]

@Serie312 :P you never know in these days...i''ve heard it before you know...ieuw...kinda strange don''t ya think..

[Serie312]

@debbielove79 I guess it all depends for people being exposed to those kinds of stuffs...

[panterafancfh]

is it me or does this sound like diary of a madman lolz

[debbielove79]

@panterafancfh a kinda..bill 14231393 said the same...

[bill14231393]

Someones been listening to Diary Of a Madman. Buckethead, you crafty sonofabitch.

[debbielove79]

@bill14231393 if you can't say anything useful than say nothing...thank you.

[bill14231393]

@debbielove79 I'm making reference to Bucketheads love of Randy Rhoads and his use of Rhoads esque chords in the intro to this song.

[debbielove79]

@bill14231393 so you mean that he is using someone else his song? or just the intro?

[bill14231393]

@debbielove79 It means Buckethead is a fan of Randy Rhoads and probably learned those chords from that song. The chords in the beginning are used in Diary Of a Madman. Look it up, you'll see.

[debbielove79]

@bill14231393 ow okay but that doesnt say that he is a, sonofabitch that is not nice to say ;(

but i will lisning to diary of a madman...

[bill14231393]

@debbielove79 According to Les Claypool Buckethead is a "guitar playing sonsabitch".

[Prologue2113]

my mom was a bitch, but even this makes me miss her.

[debbielove79]

@LAMATATENA41 you hurt many people right now...so not cool...

[punguy13]

My mom was away and this made me think of her.

Thanks buckethead for making me want her to come back,

And she did,

[BlackCrazyWoman66]

FOR YOU MY FRIEND! i adore your smile :D

(hare tantas estupideces para hacerte reir) Maxxie...

[Flyers0571]

I go into an emotional state of mind when I listen to buckethead 

[rhcp4565]

@Flyers0571 Dude same here! Thats cuz his music is pure emotion, pure soul. I love all fan's of Buckethead, you guys are all my bros.

[AlexanderSidel]

16 people didn't love their mothers

[OfTheCannibal]

he doesnt need to speak

he speaks the language of music

and it hits me hard wondering why i do all the bad things i do now

im so mean to my mother and i dont realize it

so i need to appreciate her while shes still here wit me

you dont kno wat you have till its gone

[mould75]

nice one..deep melody ....always refreshing.. I can Hear his reflection in my head

[ingenieroleonardo7]

Great!

[DANnJORDAN]

Why would he do a song for his mom. After she locked him up with chicken's for year's?...

[Flyers0571]

@DANnJORDAN ur joking right? haha

[DANnJORDAN]

@Flyers0571 Nope?

This actually happen'd

[Flyers0571]

@DANnJORDAN It didn't actually happen. He lived a normal life, his mom died. His Aunt Suzie gave him his first guitar which is why he wrote soothsayer. Buckethead is a normal person. His life was normal as a child. The only thing unnormal about him is that he is the best guitarist of all time, and he wears a bucket when he plays and a mask

[jotorc70]

@Flyers0571 FYI..............Bucketheads mom is alive. Her name is Nancy Carroll and she is married to Tom Carroll. Tom is Brian's father and is the athletic director at Damien High School in La Verne, CA. I know because of an interview Tom had when he had a field at the school named after him in 2010.

[Flyers0571]

@jotorc70 Sorry,I must have had my facts mistaken, I think it was his aunt that died. I know he never lived in a chicken coop, nor has he had his face bitten off by chickens

[FALLENMAGGOTSHIT]

I dont understand how anyone could even think of hitting the dislike button.

[wellbourne1]

A song worthy of Mrs. Buckethead- a lady none of us know but to whom so many feel an enormous debt of gratitude. I hope she is every bit as proud of her incredible son as she ought to be.

[adityaluvsmuzik]

Happy birthday Brian Patrick Carroll aka Buckethead!! (May 13th 1969) :)

[GasserVsGoodyball]

@adityaluvsmuzik as many a star fell a great blazing galaxy was born!

[22son24]

@adityaluvsmuzik 69. right on Brian.

[RagingK9Fury]

@adityaluvsmuzik A day after my birthday =D

[myoathtomadness]

he loves his mother and father, as well as the soul of music which is released through a majestic instrument, such is music.

[Subbree]

I love my mom & would always try to keep her the most happy. Btw Buckethead rocks esp. in Colma

[ThePicklefluff]

Happy Mother's Day To Everyones Mother, Here Or Not, Appreciation Should Never Wash Away. I Love Her♥.

[akulbans]

Happy Mother's Day! <3 

[PaidSpook]

Cyberdel, I agree. Mine's been gone for 14.5 years now. I know she'd like this one.

[ilviccio]

LEO BROUWER Estudio Sencillio 6 ;)

[rhcp4565]

Every radio station should play this song on Mother's Day....what a silly dream

[1MrSlash1]

i dedicated this song to my mother today on mother's day xD

[buckethead0levani]

buckethead is geny .,buckethead best but this not know all

[GrimAffliction17]

Why isn't there a love button on you tube?

[BaneOfXistence4]

If I only knew one thing about Buckethead, I would know that he loved his mother.

[lonesalcornbug]

Dltize and KingKook,thank you for the laughs.im getting bored with the comments being so serious and technical most of the time.there is nothing wrong with that but your comments are funny .thanks

[wombweasel222]

15 people out there who disliked this song i hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest ure hairy arsholes.

[acakuzma]

ou jea... this is cool... way to go bucket-master-man-head ...very cool

[kaique1]

how can you dislike this? :/

sucha great song by such great guitar player..

[mcgerbil18]

THX BIG B YOU DA BEST MAN

[treehugger260]

This tune is one of those that will just about numb all your pain.

[KingKook]

@thatoneguitarplayer You are imitating me in your response to my taunting comment. You know what they say about imitation, don't you. It's the sure sign of a malformed brain. It's true. An der ain't nuthin you kin do 'bout it.

What's the saddest sound in the world? It's the one you just made as you realized how hopeless is your bumbling, spastic future. If you stop talking, typing, communicating right now there's a slim chance that all the strange people reading this crap will forgive you.?!?

[PhatassFred]

@KingKook What "they" say about imitation is that it is usually the most sincere form of flattery. Never heard the derogatory used as you've put it.

[Dltize]

@KingKook The only sure sign of a malformed brain is an MRI-scan or similar showing some form of malformation, not that someone imitates someone else. Imitation is the reason humans have such high intelligence compared to most of the animals on this planet, we learn mostly from imitating others. Idiot.

[KingKook]

@Dltize Yeah. I know. That's exactly what your mother told me the other night — When she was imitating a $3oo a night whore. I think I may have over paid... Who farted and let you into the conversation? Does your brain always act this way? You are not interesting. Bye bye.

[Dltize]

@KingKook I was just replying to your comment because I believed you just had your facts wrong and I wanted to correct you, but... turns out you don't really care about being correct in your statements, you just want to have the last word, even if it makes you look like an idiot.

By the way, the "I had sex with your mom last night" stuff... I believe you're imitating the rest of the Internet. Just wanted to let you know. :p

[KingKook]

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be so nice to hear some horrible, fake, unoriginal silly music while I read some juvenile, witless, sort of funny comments. So I came back here to this video page and what a wonderful surprise! It's like a Xmas party for nuthin but morons! The Chicken Butt Head has stolen your money and your time and you're never getting it back. Ha Ha! I laugh at your feebleness. Soon the world will crumble as all you half wits try to run things. But your malformed brains suck.

[thatoneguitarplayer]

@KingKook

i was just thinking, wouldn't it be nice to go listen to a song and actually enjoy the comments i read while relaxing to this wonderful tune. Oh what a f**king surprise! Someone (you) have tried to make fun of people with apparently "malformed brains" by spelling nothing with a "u". I laugh at YOUR feebleness. Soon YOUR world will crumble as your half wit mind stumbles when it tries to perform simple tasks. We will laugh when everything you said comes back and bites you in the ass.

[Asedese301093]

Thank you for givin' me the power to smile!

[Vaicurious]

DIARYYYYYYYYY!

OF A MADMAN!

[razor388]

@KingKook , please kill yourself or i'll kill you with my own hands ...! You're the biggest idiot i ever heard! so a beg you .... please go hell

[KingKook]

@debbielove79 I am watching Chicken Butt Head because I thought I would check out what all the coooool people were getting so hot and bothered by. So I watched a bunch of his vids and I thought to myself "Self, this dude is one corny dork. He has the soul and spirit of a Dungeons and Dragons Master, and the originality, musically speaking, of a hip hop sample thief. His little kill switch is his only interesting feature. all his music is lame rip offs of other people's ideas and styles.

[skinup1231]

@KingKook What a load of shit you speak. FUCK YOU.

[dondorward2010]

@KingKook -you are a fucking idiot -- kill yourself and make this world a better place

[debbielove79]

@KingKook aha what is the devenition of being cool...

let everyone be what they want to be...if you respect others on what they like,they will respect you too.



[quindoger]

i don't get it

[debbielove79]

@quindoger what is it that you don't understand?

[cashmny78]

15 people dont like their own mother.

[KingKook]

@JsRf13 You are very good with words. You really know how to form a powerful argument, how to artfully persuade people to your opinion. This helps explain why you are so amazed by and deeply in love with Chicken Butt Head. You are a very fat crazy Vietnam war veteran that ruins everything with your thick headed, half witted pseudo intellectual nonsense. You need to chill, like The Dude, man...

[JsRf13]

@KingKook shut the fuck up, Donnie.

[TableEnMousse]

@KingKook What the hell man

[debbielove79]

@KingKook if you think that he is a rodeo clown,why are you watching buckethead..

[lonesalcornbug]

I want to hear a remix u did..anyone else

[pcrvg0808]

15 people work at K.F.C

[hobofuture]

@cowsofevil sure

[superduploman]

@cowsofevil No.

[JudaszIsCariot]

@cowsofevil no. buckethead's songs are untouchable :P

[razor388]

this song it's so F***ing EPIC, and makes me cry :((

[4Mario2Rafael]

15 guys are REALLY STUPID TROLLS...

and they don't have mother :(

[xavax7]

3:38 <3

[SoulGuitarMan]

reminds me of diary of a madman by ozzy

[TheMean93]

@SoulGuitarMan you know playing an instrument is funny..all music come's from someplace ,If you play guitar and practice scale's..you can alway's hear note's from other song's !!

[SoulGuitarMan]

@TheMean93 i know this, i'm not criticizing the song or anything, it is hard to deny that this sounds like diary of a madman though, just a thought

[RiceKiller191]

@SoulGuitarMan The second chord in For mom is the first in Diary.

[remotenightowl]

@RiceKiller191, G#m7?

[RiceKiller191]

@remotenightowl Indeed sir. Beautiful chord it is

[Sockbot27]

The intro reminds me of Diary of a Madman by Ozzy Osbourne. (Randy Rhoads technically.)

[nehcnum3]

from 3:37 to the end i think it's one of the most emotional parts i've ever heard in a song...it combines the beauty of simplicity and depth of feeling ... simply amazing my living legend

[cowsofevil]

Glad you guys like buckethead as much ad me!

[runingwolflexan]

@cowsofevil I will "ad" you

[SoulGuitarMan]

the intro sounds like "diary of a madman" by ozzy

[cyberdel]

this song makes me cry. I wish my mom was still alive..

[aaronlane13]

@cyberdel Mine too. At least she was able to hear this song before she passed.

[shizm45]

@cyberdel yeah man, i feel ya, my mom just passed away a couple months ago. keep ya head up bro. best wishes to you man

[MultiCatfish101]

@shizm45 Real sorry about your mom bro.. best wishes

[masajhn]

@cyberdel that's the point my good friend, that's the point he inspires everyone's life with his music

[1962trex]

@cyberdel Sorry Man, But everybody gotta go sometime:)

[rhcp4565]

@cyberdel life is impermanent....instead of hoping this is not the case, why not embrace it? Your mother is still here by the way ;)

[pipsqueek14]

@cyberdel im sorry to hear that. keep strong.

[ilikehumpingbitches]

@cyberdel sorry to hear that man..stay strong!

[DANnJORDAN]

@cyberdel Sorry to hear that man, Much respect <3

[rhcp4565]

@cyberdel 364,000 people's hearts go out to you.

[DayyanAli200]

@cyberdel MAY she R.I.P ... AMEEN

[Ap0calypse74]

@cyberdel RIP CYBERDEL'S MOM, I WISH THE BEST FOR YOU MAN! LOVE IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU, SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE!!! Just imagine how happy she is man... Looking down on you:) My dad died so i kinda know how it feels... \m/*-*\m/ pull through man, I LOVE YOU!

~420~

[EmoLayingInBlood]

@fragrenade1 i know lol. i dont understand it. teens now-a-days need to learn to respect the parents mainly their mothers because their mothers have to deal with them and they have no clue how they feel about how you are treating them until they have a kid. it doesnt make sense, they just need to look at the point of view of their parents more than themselves. all they worry about is sex and drugs now, and i sit here listening to BH and loving both my parents and i know they will defend methough

[ChainsawVsGod]

@EmoLayingInBlood

I agree that kids should show there parents more respect. I mean I don't like my parents at all. I still appreciate the fact that they let me live in their home though. And that they feed me.

[super2rofl]

Just absolutely amazing! This song says everthing that some1 should hear!!!!

[klubdurka]

@super2rofl Amen!

[PuffSmelly]

when this song was over i went and hugged my mom

[Serie312]

Youtube has been put to good use...

[EmoLayingInBlood]

@fragrenade1 i know. its dumb. why cant ppl just learn more about a person before they judge them. or just dont judge ppl at all. its annoying

[fragrenade1]

@EmoLayingInBlood Yeah :/ That's life though. I think what annoys me most is when I wonder why teenagers are stereotyped and folk tell me to grow up and stop being selfish :L
