Steven Hawking stood on the shoulders of Issac Newton, Buckethead did the same of Hendrix. It's not a matter of who is better than the other. That said, I don't listen to Hendrix.
Lol, I bet Buckethead and Hendrix both would laugh at you guys for arguing over them... if they weren't so busy making music, Bucket here and Hendrix in heaven :)
u people are friggin crazy! r u actually saying this guy is better than hendrix?! there is no reasoning with idiots...this guy isnt bad, but even i can play the guitar better. none of u know wut real talent is, i bet your all just a bunch of losers, not even that, below that. even some losers know wut shit is.
@cryptic6chaos well sir there are lots of things you can suck as you say "buckethead sucks" well he can suck a popsicle or a watermelon flavoured lolipop but you sir you suck cock the complete oppisite of buckethead so buckethead does suck he sucks lollipops and other sugary goods because they are yummy to the tummy.that is all good day.
SOAB!!!! Why must everyone compare different guitarists? Like what you like and let others like what they like. Just listen to the music man and quit comparing.
This or Johnny are the best songs on the album. Ghost Upstairs is a lot like this at the beginning then kinda drifts into bucket kinda drifted Bucketheadland.
Bucket is better than Hendrix but theres one thing Bucket will never be able to do that Hendrix could, is play with his teeth. Bucket has a mask on. D:
@CleanseTheSoul Yeah thats why I love watching him live. Get to really see him play and not to mention every time he plays the song it gets 100 times better because he changes it and improvises.
I think it's funny that people are comparing jimmy to Buckethead.I mean jim has got nothing on buckethead in therms of technical skills and versatitlity. Buckethead is way more original and just all round better guitar player no doubt about it.
well thats a bit to hard against jimi now, both are great, but jimi played more like jazz and blues or such crap i don't like, but he was still awesome(i still think buckethead is way better^^")
Well yeah , Check out buckethead's album 'population override' wich is mainly blues.And it just sounds more original like i always thought all bluesbands nowadays sounded alike until i heard that
as a huge fan of both hendrix and the bucket, buckethead is a better guitarist and artist. hendrix is great, but everything hendrix did well, buckethead has improved upon. both are/were masters of innovation, but bh has explored more boundaries than hendrix was able to.
technically, but as far as aesthetics and creativity buckethead isn't even close to hendrix. he has never written anything as good as voodoo child or little wing, and hendrix's guitar solos keep your attention melodically like on all along the watchtower while buckethead just kind of amazes you you cheaply in a way.
@iamamannow so you are telling me Soothsayer, King James, Fairy and the Devil, and All In the Waiting, just to name a few, aren't very creative? Im not taking any sides in the hendrix vs. bucket dilema, but to say buckethead has written "cheap" material isnt fair.
@nepatsfan61590 You can't compare them. Hendrix was basically a blues guitarist, but he took blues to it's most extreme form. Buckethead, at least on most of his albums, plays more of a metal style. They're both great. If you ask me, Buckethead is the greatest metal guitarist while Hendrix is the best blues guitarist.
@Merioc2k3 Hendrix was more than just a blues guitarist my friend, he had a lot of psychedelia in his playing as well. And i get your point but i still think there is room for comparison.
@nepatsfan61590 I know, I didn't say that he's "just a blues guitarist". I said that he took blues to it's most extreme form, which he deserves respect for. There's barely room for any comparison, since Buckethead taps a lot, and sweeps and uses other techniques that were not popular while Hendrix was alive.
GUYS!!!. What people aren't paying attention to is the fact that Hendrix was an inspiration for Buckethead. This means he may have picked up a few ideas about playing through Hendrix, but that doesn't make Buckethead's skill any less real. Guitarists today have a lot to live up to, unlike old guitarists who were having fun and being creative. These days, you can't be creative without anyone getting on your ass about it.
Hendrix and Buckethead are both from completely different generations. Today's musicians have to meet a bigger need for music. If Jimmy Hendrix had been born in our generation, he would have probably played together with the Bucket. The problem is; without a Hendrix in the 60's, rock would be completely different. So the obvious answer would be, Buckethead IS technically better than Hendrix, but only because he is ahead by time.
I hate it when people don't realize this. Thank you for understanding and not being arrogant like others. I hate it when people don't understand. Even though I don't know you, I read this comment and really appreciated it. I couldn't have presented the point any better than the way you just did.
Hendrix didn't think he was the best guitarist. He just did what he did best. Buckethead is just doing the same thing; what he does best, which is really a lot of stuff. I would have to respectfully not compare these two great guitarists.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Buckethead is not a pioneer, Hendrix was. Buckethead also had 30+ years to study mr. hendrix and copy him, alter his work, and find the best sound for himself. Instead of comparing by what they played, compare them by what you think they might be able to do. If hendrix had lived, do you think BH would be able to compare...if hendrix had lived he might be near untouchable.
Buckethead is most definitely an innovator,just not on Hendrix's level,but that's unfair,Hendrix got an extra 20 years headstart,being born first doesn't make you a better player,Buckethead has had about 20 years worth of output,Hendrix had 3,Buckethead has eclipsed Hendrix in that field.I personally prefer Buckethead,but it's a stupid question,apples/oranges.
Buckethead could play acoustic though,and therefore,wins. (See the logic?Good,because I don't)
@beefychew 100% correct sir i dont know why people even try to argue. Buckethead is the best guitarist EVER! better than Slash, Angus Young, and Jimi Hendrix. He is soooooo much more creative. Bucket is the closest thing to god that exist.
@beefychew Jimi Hendrix is out of bucketheads league, there's something missing from Buckethead, its too technical. Jimi just lets it all out, doesnt hold back, it's untamed, thats what makes Jimi the best.
Just got this cd, master piece all the way through, love it how hes just sitting in a living room with an acoustic guitar and no overdubbing and effect device's. Pure Buckethead.
For his time, not at all, you guys can't compare Hendrix to Buckethead. Buckethead's music wouldn't exist today without Hendrix. Hedrix died 20 years before Buckethead started.
ive learned a few of his acoustic songs, and when you learn them, you just dont wanna stop playing them. learn some of the easier ones first, then go for harder ones. you'll notice that the same weird chords come up in a few of his songs.
i like his acoustic stuff better always i wanna get this and giant robot i hav colma so i really want bucketheadland 1 but there all so hard to fing arrrg luv bucket big guitar insperation to me and my playing
you can get Bucketheadland 1 off ebay for bout $80 trust me its totally worth it but idk bout giant robot thats hard to find. but if you have a "Frys Electronics" nearby wer u live check ther i found acoustic shards at one of those stores and both vols. of young buckethead =](p.s. they dont have much ther or atleast they dont have much at the one i goto but maybe your luck is better than mine)
F**KING YOTUBE they banned diebrittney (another account that had one of my fav bucket head songs up) my god the person had rights to use the buckethead video!!11!q! jesus youtube shape up
i know they say he violated user agreement terms but if im not mistaken in the video info he said he had permission by the producer of that album to put up a song or 2 so people could get a taste for buckethead before they buy the album
