Buckethead - Lebron's Hammer (New Album)

[Pumpkinhead2400]

The godly solo at the end that he cuts so short just goes to show how amazing and humble he is.

[myrtic1]

HOLY SHIT the ending was epic, too quick, but EPIC

[HigherOXYD]

:)

[toontownonlinestudio]

This song is Awesome!

[Niggastolemyuser]

second (0:00) to (0:19) i could listen all day long

[theatomizer]

I think Buckethead must have played basketball or something. He sure seems to like the players, and he's tall enough...

[UnknownSect333]

@theatomizer There's a video of him playing. He's not too good though...

[theatomizer]

@UnknownSect333 Orly? I guess I'll have to see if I can find it. If I can't then you're a liar and you'll burn in hell. :)

[UnknownSect333]

@theatomizer That was uncalled for :( Anyway, it's here: watch?v=nR3QNELvxk4

[theatomizer]

@UnknownSect333 I were just jokin... but thanks for the link. ;D

[Reeferz4129]

I agree with that, the ending had me going.... it was like that stare you give when you are jamming and someone shuts off the stereo lol

[1legerdemain1]

Loved the song before I heard it because of the title. Lebron does feature a hammer, quite unlike other hammers.

But. Go Mavs!

[MisterShumShum]

@1legerdemain1 ooo man ive been wanting to bump this, lebron, king james, and lebrontron so badly but ur damn Mavs are ruining it lol

theres only one god *_*

[maniacboyz7]

is this about LeBron James? Because if it is...i'm really disappointed buckethead ):

[Tjorvz1]

@maniacboyz7 How so? Buckethead has made more songs that tribute basketball players...

[maniacboyz7]

@Tjorvz1 nah i just hate lebron james lmfao

:P

[KirbyOnCronic]

@maniacboyz7 unfortunately for you he's made 3 other songs dedicated to him (King James, Lebron, Lebrontron)

[jmsbk12345]

Actually I'm seriously considering 'Enter the Chicken' which has a great combination of his 'out of the box' playing and some lovely songs.

[Hokexobe]

Unbeatable!

[depechemodevilla]

Bucket is the Lebron of guitar playing.

[Fluffypopcicle]

does anybody else think buckethead is secretly black? he is super tall, into basketball, is apparently obsessed with chickens...does anybody else get what im saying?

[PoetMagic]

@Fluffypopcicle super-terribly racist... but oddly funny...

[Fluffypopcicle]

@PoetMagic

im not racist, im only making fun of stereotypes.

[yoitscayman]

@Fluffypopcicle LMAO

[jmsbk12345]

I'm looking for just 3 buckethead albums to purchase. They must include his most amazing 'out of the box' guitar playing. Melody, heaviness, jazzy and the X factor. What would they be please?

[Fluffypopcicle]

@jmsbk12345

elephant man's alarm clock, pepper's ghost, and decoding the tomb of bansheebot. those are definitely my top suggestions as a long time buckethead fan. there other ones you might want to check out though, such as slaughterhouse on the prairie and crime slunk scene.

[jmsbk12345]

@Fluffypopcicle Thanks very much Fluffy. I've decided on one of them being: 'Inbred Mountain' which is absolutely amazing. Now I've got to decide on two more - maybe bansheebot which sounds incredible and maybe EMAClock or Cuckoo Clock or maybe CSScene or even the new one. What do you think people? Which is his most jazzy album?

[Fluffypopcicle]

@jmsbk12345

if you want jazzy stuff check out the new album that just came out called left hanging. it's stuff with travis dickerson, and it's really good. also, i forgot about ibred mountain. i definitely would have suggested that if i hadn't forgot, but there are so mant to choose from.

[kinobiheart]

@Fluffypopcicle Yeah, I've been wanting to listen to some off that album. I checked out the previews they left on the website of it. Every single song sounds fukin amazing. It sounds like SUCH a good album. But no one's posted anything off it on youtube yet. I might just buy it. I'm talking about the "Left Hanging" album btw.

[jmsbk12345]

@Fluffypopcicle OK I've now decided on 'Inbred Mountain' and 'Cuckoo Clocks' - amazing albums. Now then I've got one more to go - what could it be, something outrageously amazing!?

[Fluffypopcicle]

@jmsbk12345

it's ultimately up to you, but i would go with elephant man's alarm clock unless you want an album that's just really jazzy like left hanging. i might be being biased though. elephant man's alarm clock was my first and probably my favorite album. if not elephant man's alarm clock or left hanging i would go with decoding the tomb of bansheebot.

[jonnyj0987654321]

@jmsbk12345 Have you considered Population Override?

[jmsbk12345]

@jonnyj0987654321 I haven't considered it, no. What can you tell me about it? Is it different in any way?

[lllllllRobot]

I love this song. It almost makes me feel like welcoming Lebron back to Cleveland.

[JackIntheBK]

that ending... one of his best riffs/solo's he has ever written or played.

[pivotpcproductions]

@SlayerofNHL actually pebber brown was bh's teacher mainly, paul only tought him for a year. tbh, i'd say paul and bh tought eachother.

[2qiller2]

The best trash metal :D

[HellNaught]

ugh, did he really make these songs for Lebron James?

[Doobieman321]

@HellNaught Yea buckethead is a big Lebron fan.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@HellNaught

yeah, he is a big fan of of basketball.

jordan is a tribute to michael jordan, king james is another tribute to lebron james, and iceman is a tribute to george gervin.

[PureDene]

Poor lebaron The trator

[wasabinin]

wow...I really wish he capitalized on that ending it was so amazing.

[utubejuan]

@wasabinin I wish he did too, but still I'm glad we got what we got. :)

[DillonBerkley]

Buckethead is an amazing guitarist but it just seems like all of his songs are incomplete thoughts as compared to actual songs but its just my opinion and feel free to troll me at will.

[HBK2423]

@DillonBerkley I agree, but that's what makes Buckethead.... He just throws a bunch of random stuff together and it sounds AMAZING.... Greatest guitarist EVER, no questions asked

[DillonBerkley]

@HBK2423 My favorite is Paul Gilbert but hes my FAVORITE im not saying hes best cause there will be a million keyboard warriors try to start a fight lol.

[HBK2423]

@DillonBerkley No doubt, Paul Gilbert is a great guitarist. U ever heard of Andy Mckee??? Another awesome guitarist, check him out!

[DillonBerkley]

@HBK2423 Holy crap yes! Andy Mckee is a monster of a completely different kind of music. Drifting is one of my favorites. I kinda go through mood changes in music and i always listen to him when im angry cause it will make me not angry after im done listening to one of his songs.

[HBK2423]

@DillonBerkley Yeah Drifting is great..lol.. ever seen the guy who plays guitar with his feet?!?!?! He has no arms so he learned to play with his feet, check it out

[DillonBerkley]

@HBK2423 wow ill definitely check that out.

[ANeonTiger]

@DillonBerkley I agree.  Dude has like 27 albums or something ridiculous like that. If he would actually take time to make his music instead of releasing a bajillion songs they would probably be a lot better.

[mjrogiers1]

agree 100% with norris pimp buckethead is amazing and when he uses the wah petal his song just defines into pure tchnical skill and cleaness buckethead keep on rockin

[pumpkinheadjrb]

rip gary colman. we will never forget ur grillz

[fullflame]

@pumpkinheadjrb

You're thinking of George Foreman, the boxer.

[idosports24]

in the background of the beginning it sounds like that one guy's magic boot

[nickp440]

lol the beginning is that one percussion type technique he does.. with added tempo

[dragongame2]

haha buckhead fun name fot a band

[camerons1]

@dragongame2 You must be new to the Buckethead experience since he is only one guy, but he is kickass. Enjoy listening to the music, but be warned that you might become obsessed like me and get lost in it all. It's not bad once you're here though, in-fact you crave it more and more.

[NorrisPimp]

@camerons1  Yeah, Getting obsessed with Buckethead is always a good thing though. Now getting obsessed with trying to learn to play all his songs...that's where your head asplodes!

[berglundo]

@dragongame2 It's not a band, it's a GOD.

[nickp440]

being from cleveland, i love lebron as much as he does... imagine this song as if it was a basketball game, lebron stole the ball, and slammed that shit, the tempo changes just get me at times..... too high for this

[neverlandneverfly]

top five for me

1. colma

2.i need 5mins alone

3.crime slunk scene

4.Slaughterhouse on the Prairie

and 5. i dotn know the albums name but has wishing well(danyel)

[MrFlippy9000]

@neverlandneverfly Wishing well is on Colma

[UltimateWheelman]

I love the album name :D

[scubaguy30]

sometimes I think listening to music without singing or vocals is the true way to hear it

[1234gnrslash]

@scubaguy30 It usually is...

[BruderSeth]

@scubaguy30 always remember: men sang before men made music (except drums maybe)

[sai1891]

LOve the intro and end solo!

[Juergen6]

i like that solo

[xkillrocknroll]

Lol buckethead is a basketball fan. Lebron's Hammer

[ISN1P3DI]

hmm is it just me or is this album one of his best? well... theres quite a few to choose from XD, say in the top 5, if no say what other albums :P

[wizardryuk]

Although worthy of top 5, There are so many to choose from, I would have to squeeze it out. For me its.Albino Slug, Peppers Ghost, Elephant Mans Alarm Clock, Crime Slunk Scene and Inbred Mountain. But it really is a hard choice and takes a bit of time to realise for ones self. This album pretty quickly shot in to my top ten list though: definitely not just you :)

[ISN1P3DI]

lol :D il look up those albums

[durpadoo]

LOL. Everything i write gets down voted by one single bitch boy. :) :) :) :)

[xkayesque]

@durpadoo

Wouldn't want to ruin the trend.

[chacallanxuero]

the intro reminds a lot of Nottingham Lace but it isn't bored at all haha awesome song, as usual

[SOADVSSOAD]

I Love The Riff In This Song!

This Robot Sure Knows How To Make Music!

[shelo11]

buena cancion de buckethead

[anewillss]

when did this album come out???

[N1nts]

i like turtles

[sai1891]

[herbocho]

fuck the people that thinks is better than everybody FUCK THEM HARD!! we dont have to like the same things so fuck off have some respect for the taste of ohers somebody out there always is gonna be better than you SO FUCK OFFF!!! by the way awesome song!!

[Jazga]

@herbocho

Someone needs a nap.......

[herbocho]

someone need to be a little less smart ass

[iTzTrAx1]

@herbocho i agree with jazga.. go take a nap

[herbocho]

ok you both are right ok?? fuck this im not gonna argue with some internet geek

[Jazga]

Sweet

[herbocho]

damn close inded gringos

[durpadoo]

Why you gotta call me that? Makes me wanna call you a wet back. But I won't do that.

[durpadoo]

Rage much?

[hohohohohoe]

sounds like something.....i cant tell what!!! really sounds familiar after 0:55

[UnderTheBucket]

Buckethead still got it!

[Brentypooz]

@UnderTheBucket Buckethead will always have it ;)

[gooseaskreply]

@UnderTheBucket he will always!!

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@UnderTheBucket No he's alway got it.

[Fantezism]

It sounds experimental..I like it. It could have been better, but I still like it.

[nirvanafrik]

anything there is, could be better. so why bothering being an ass, when you can -not- being one?

[Fantezism]

Everything there is could be better, including your grammar. Yeah, so everything could be better, but this album could be A LOOOOT LOOOOOT BETTER, or should I say LESS WORSE ? This album, compared to BH's previous ones, is just not good enough. At least for my tastes it isn't. And I'm not going to pretend that I like it.

[nirvanafrik]

i know that my grammar still sucks ass, but the point is proven. you are an ass.

[Fantezism]

What point? Let me put it another way: an album has to be better than the previous one; that's a rule. And this album, althought good, is not good ENOUGH. It's just mediocre! If you like it fine, have your own judgement, but don't call me an ass just because my standards happen to be higher than yours.

[Zynthrax]

I don't remember seeing a book called "The Rule Of Albums"?

[durpadoo]

You make rule books?

[UltimereOccultismK]

What's wrong with it then?

[darkness1991ify]

bucket head truly can play anything and everything and make it sound realy good

[predwrk]

Greatness right here.

[signofthehammer]

reminds me of megadeth and metallica somehow

[fullthrottleboarder]

and a little bit of slayer

[jimmyu1]

yeah definantly @ :40 it kicks into that old school speed metal riffage

[mahbrocigarettes]

yeah megadeath, metallica....and the opening im reminded of chocobos and the bolero of fire song from ocarina of time...

[fonad2]

definitely. around :40 it picks up like pre-black album metallica for sure.

[frenzyss]

true ;)

[mustang517]

reminds me of buckethead.

[nirvanafrik]

hardly can find anything in this song to do with megadeth.

[signofthehammer]

you've hardly heard megadeth then

[g00dz]

This song could be on Endgame and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

[LithuanianGuitar]

@signofthehammer Yeah. Hit the lights a bit.

[sk8poika]

@signofthehammer it must be the 0:48 's rapid A note, or that's what i think

[TaxideaTaxis]

Why at 2:26 does the solo try to come in? This song sounds like it was copy and pasted

[Monsterofthedeep94]

I know right!

[TaxideaTaxis]

I know it sounds bad. Im not bashing buckethead but you have to admit it sounds like it

[dristfan123]

if i was a famous- kick ass- basketball player with a song like that with my name on it, i would play it every time i go on the court:D

[PhunkyCat]

damn this is just so good

yeah, big b loves his basketball! ;o)

[Lukrith]

I see the quick staccato riff as a King James' basketball rolling down the court.

[Bucketheadisgod94]

doesnt 0:39 sound like a Metallica riff? idk anyway cool song i like it :)

[TaxideaTaxis]

I have ALWAYS thought the same thing. HOW WEIRD!!!!!!!

[Bucketheadisgod94]

Hit the Lights? maybe lol

[TaxideaTaxis]

Ive always thought of kill em all, too

[Bucketheadisgod94]

yeah

[Runner077]

yeah your right

[ivanwulf]

wait are there 2 versions of lebron..??

[Alexkadjiro]

Check out his Michael Jackson Tribute song on his website

[eirik22]

the intro riff was really cool, the next riff was a bit of a letdown.. :(

buckethead, i want some calm, chilly songs again! Like electric tears. or sail on soothsayer :D

[jimmyread]

you should listen to his new solo album, the real diamond in the rough. it has some awesome songs on it, very relaxing.

[breebree1226stead]

search a real diamond in the rough

[Alexkadjiro]

Buckethead is in fact a very big fan of basketball.

[boricubano2005]

it really doesnt matter if he consulted him or not.. lebron got a fucking song tributed 2 him by the greatest guitarist ever

[CRACKHORSE123]

true dat

[jsthere2watchvideos]

agreed

[richiec54]

2 songs tributed to him

[ChrisBuckethead]

so does M. Jordan with Jordan

i heard this song was made for him

[jonnyj0987654321]

LeBron got 3 songs. King James, LeBron and LeBron's Hammer

[jsthere2watchvideos]

its ashame lebron james probably has no idea this or any buckethead tribute exists

[cdfcore]

im pretty shure he do why would he make a tribute without consulting the man first

[jsthere2watchvideos]

he doesnt have 2 consult him he never used lebrons whole name lebron king james lebrons hammer but never once did he say lebron james so y should he have 2

[cdfcore]

theres just legal issues and besides that if i made a tribute to someone i would want them to know wouldnt you....................he does ues lebron james to by the way its just not the main title lebrons hammer is a signature move that he does tho so.....

[TeamAmerica5150]

what legal issues? how would they know he was talking about Lebron James? He could be talking about someone else for all we know. He probably isnt but they wouldnt know that

[cdfcore]

im only going to say this one thing cuz afterthis i dont really care about the subject but "lebrons hammer" is one of the mans signature moves in basketball and on the case it says tribute to lebron james....as for legal issues u just cant use someones name without consulting them. comment back if you want but im not commenting back .

[candizzle4lizzle]

...are you guys really questioning something that BUCKETHEAD is gonna do?...you can't possibly expect him to be the most normal guy...i don't doubt it was a tribute to LeBron James maybe he's a fan

[Atoutlem0nde]

Legal issues my ass. He uses the word "LeBron". I'm fairly certain that LeBron James isn't the only LeBron in the world, so it shouldn't matter.

If it did, the person who wrote "O Danny Boy" would have millions of Daniels after him right now.

[cdfcore]

i dont even fuckin care anymore your probally only 15 or 16 anyway im done trying to explain this to a bunch unintellectual individuals.

[RidvanDuzey]

I think you made the right decision now !

[cdfcore]

yeah really tho ppl on here are idiots man and they just go on and on about topics they have no knowledge of.

[DoctorRobertBobby]

lebron james' middle name is not king you fucking moron

[jsthere2watchvideos]

stop posting comments espcially rude ones if you dont know what the fuck your talkin about CLOWN who the hell said it was his MIDDLE name king james is his nickname dumbass if you read me saying KING is his middle name then respond but you didnt see that so keep your fat fuckin mouth shut nobody asked you

[tobydan2309]

great Buckethead FTW! it's cool that that one man is so great

[billabongwoop]

not say that van hailen sucks cos hes great but this is the real eruption withthat uotro it comes from nowhere love it =]

[xx666poopman666xx]

Buckethead is fucking sick. he comes out with an album every month basically. and this is like his best album yet.

[vwt666]

the outro solo is awesome!

[SlunkScene]

This track is the epitomy of awesome. It pretty much matches Lebron's performance on the court.

[speaker3600]

MVGP!

most valuable guitar player

[vanhalenkid]

sounds like some Kill Em All Metallica stuff! awesome!

[lucasadverse]

perfect

[snuffwitch]

i can not find this album on amazon or stores

[moneypolo12321]

You'll have to try going through the record label to get it.

[lancelance2]

there are torrents

[PhunkyCat]

flawless victory!!!!!!!

buckethead is my hero!
