Buckethead Solo (awesome)

[tomfy1979]

boring.



[Umbles]

how does he keep such a straight face!!? lol

[thebrats21]

in the middle,felt like listening to mario track.

[goforthandeattacos]

where would he be without that Whammy pedal... id rather listen to David Gilmour trip all over himself in an emotion-filled solo than this. I eagerly await responses calling me all manner of bad words and mean names. come at me, trolls.

[guerril1337]

@goforthandeattacos Yea this is 1 minute and 23 seconds of what was probably at least an hour long show. So for 1 minute 23 seconds he walked all over the entire scale of the neck in an epic display of flawless technique(s). Anyone who isn't ignorant to all that Buckethead is knows that he is one of if not the GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS OF ALL TIME!

and this video might be 1% of the reason why.

[Kappazappa1]

@goforthandeattacos yes, of course you are right, because David Gilmour never uses a whammy pedal does he?.......( shakes head in despair at narrow minded trolls.)

[cheagan]

Who - or rather, what - the f*#k is this guy? Once and for all!!!!!

[digit389]

all i can say is holy shit



[annabatarowicz]

fukin waow??!!

[boleynali]

i wish they,d put a bucket over his amp as well.

[davonata]

amazing skills but I do not find nothing musical in it...... my old modem 56K sounds just like that....

[inmepete]

@davonata bang on what i wanted to say just couldn't find the words! He's amazingly technical but technical can breach a point between awesome talent and bland noise!

[annabatarowicz]

@davonata doesnt have to be musical it is sound. sound doesnt have to be musical like edgar verese.. say or like horor movie sountrack in example it is usually sound experience to create tension in givin horror scene. like when i listen to this i think of super robot having shitzoid attack traveling through space. which inspires me to paint picture of this. so this style is valid. although years ago id of said the same as you

[Labruin1414]

I agree with RemorfChuket up there in the thumbs up box - this really isn't his solo, but he does do this in a lot of shows where he just goes kinda nutty jamming and improvising as he goes. This guy is pretty amazing though and what you don't see though is some of the effects he's switching around with the digitech whammy pedal or a similar type pedal to get the octaves and such. The guy knows what he's doing, that's for sure

[classicrockonly]

I think buckethead is one of the most insane guitarists ive ever seen and heard. I love his music...i want some of his musisc

[symphonicsage]

"I COME FROM THE PLANET OF THE KFC BUCKETHEAD PEOPLE!!! I COME TO THIS PLANET IN SEARCH OF THE CHICKENS THAT RULE AND DOMINATE YOU HUMANS!!! THIS TALKY STICK WON'T GET THROUGH TO YOU!!! And the stutter button doesn't help much..."

[batutasci]

error erro please leave the space vehicle

[Boughtone]

He is not human!!!

[TheDeliverancer]

musical masturbation...

[altcodesRsick]

This is a warm up. Not a solo.

[chevy4life869]

what is that button hese pushing

[killemall1983]

@chevy4life869

Kill switch.

[TheFenderMan11]

damn.

[yamahajim906]

R2D2 having an orgasm

[hghgfist]

it souds a bit like R2D2;p

[xLilRainbow]

Mother of kfc-headed people. O_O

[SuperBreadhead]

Dude, it's like.....robot metal haha most triumphant!

[KariThomasMiller]

Is it really that hard to tell that this is just a warm-up?

[KillahPwn]

Awesome, but I prefer some...slower music, or music without overboard effects. Still amazing skill to play hammer-ons and pull-offs with such clear sound so quickly. +1 like :)

[FlamesMiller]

this is like tom morello on LSD

[Cinnemax77]

sorry stupid name and the bucket gotta go but this guy is truly incredible axman..10+

[basukashyapapc]

it seems as if his guitar is screaming for mercy!!!

[MrLivinginthe80s]

Inhumanly awesome!!!!

[stevel178]

serious technique



[1980srocklover]

God does this guy ever suck, listen to Slash for 10 seconds and he'll put this loser to shame

[renzow6]

he is not from this world

[RemorfChuket]

This is not a solo, this is called fuckin around (with skill). I do this kinda thing too sometimes when jamming. It also adds to his weirdo persona. Anyone who is judging his musicianship based on this video is a dumbass.

You wanna hear some real Buckethead, listen to albums Colma, Electric Tears, Shadows Between the Sky, etc.

[ricksto87]

@RemorfChuket true. do this stuff and people think its amazing. It really isnt.

[sleepwalkerTV]

@RemorfChuket Gay.

[RemorfChuket]

@sleepwalkerTV good for you

[MusicIsDead69]

It sounds like a fucking computer thing o.o

[pacovl46]

i know the guy can play, but this just sounds so stupid. was this a warm-up thing?

[Nemesis0300]

Anyone who think this video is his entire range = someone who has never listened to Buckethead.

[JLaLomia90]

That's why Slash is better. He has soul.

[Nemesis0300]

@JLaLomia90

Buckethead has more soul than any living guitarist.

Try actually listening to some of his song before you pretend you know anything.

Listen to Nottingham Lace or Soothslayer -- and DON'T try and hate them. Actually free yourself from opinion and you will understand.

Also, this video is just a warm up.

[StompingRabbits]

@JLaLomia90 -BUCKET ONES SLUSH! BUCKET HAS SOMETHING SLUSH HASN'T GOT AND THAT'S ORIGINALITY! SLUSH IS JUST ANOTHER IN A LONG LINE OF JIMMY PAGE WANNABE'S WHILE MR. BUCKET RESIDES ENTIRELY WITHIN HIS OWN WARPED WORLD!

[theHaxprocessor]

@JLaLomia90

Slahs is not better you fucking idiot.

[theHaxprocessor]

@JLaLomia90

Slash*

[InsertName125]

etc. etc....

I wonder if he knows Carrot Top?

[A7XfoREVer578]

And thats what it sounds like when a guitar is raped.

[2014supernaxo]

master ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡



[brilligate]

Genious

[benighted2]

I hear Gilbertisms. I like :D

[jettsta2401]

hes a great guitar player, but man, this solo sounds like shit

[ZomBkiller115]

He learned how to play dubstep on a guitar, thats all

[HyDrOAlphaTwoEight]

buckethead kinda scares me anyone guess y?

[straydogbluesman]

@HyDrOAlphaTwoEight Yes, because he might prefer crispy over original.

[HyDrOAlphaTwoEight]

@straydogbluesman no thats not it

[diogotomediogo]

looks easy... lol

[reeveman]

Im sorry but thats just noise, and not good noise. No talent in playing fast if all you do is play fast, still has to be tuneful lol this is awful. AWFUL!

[Nemesis0300]

@reeveman Too bad this is just a warm up and he is the greatest guitar player alive.

[willy346]

playing that good doesnt always sound good... prefer slow

[kcirdrab]

crap

[MIKEPEARTNOY]

I positively annihilate this guy. Click on my channel. You won't regret it.

[DerBrunoBaumann]

Um.. I can play the intro of Come As You Are from Nirvana ... o.o'

[hallio111]

this does not sound like shit, it sounds like your worst psycho nightmare. And thats what he wants to express here.

[TheFurryMetallicaFan]

i think its sounds pretty cool

[Kyeran7]

this isn't music...this is a breathless chicken that tries to imitate a porn actor....

[digitalfreak123]

0:37 - R2D2 on cocaine

[Scorge120]

It takes a real passion to get that good at guitar. Have you imbeciles ever stopped to think that while he's playing all of this seemingly nonsensical shred, he's pooping his pants with glory.

[evelskunny1]

think he sux,

[MrEvilPenguin22]

Meh

[666devilmycry1]

it's tetric

[29Kyle]

Awesome?no, it SUCKS!!

[potatojuice321]

i bet that his playing would have been so much different if the audience was full of musicians...

[Hatafuriyamanokaiju]

Oh man somebody tell pac-man about this

[brilligate]

@Hatafuriyamanokaiju Gelous

[TheSlayer36]

Plus he has too improvise through each song too make it seem that he isnt fatiguing the audience.

[TheSlayer36]

Either way its music and you people should be thankful that he is even playing.

hes not showing off at all or trying to be emotional or anything. He's just shredding. Whats wrong with that? Sometimes people just like to mess around and play anything, since he is already playing amazing music on his hundreds upon hundreds of recorded material, why cant he just get away from that and just jam out?

[myshowTM]

@IsaacNazareth

angus young is maybe half as good as buckethead. buckethead legit went beyond perfection on every aspect of guitar in like 6 genres. i dont see how anyone could get much better than him.

[dante4d]

@myshowTM Every song Angus plays is very catchy and he's very musical. This guy looks like he has no sense of rhythm or melody and that applies to every solo I've heard by him so far...

[Mrfastfap]

You know how when you first start out at guitar. And you play random stuff with it but usually slowly or all over the place? Well. Take that, Make it fast and add some shitty effects in and ladies and gentleman, you have....Buckethead.

[jwahh]

@Mrfastfap Exactly.. what the fuck is he even famous for??

[hallio111]

@Mrfastfap and you have clearly no idea about music.

[Mrfastfap]

@hallio111 The part from 00:12 to 00:16 is rather awsome if not a bit mad near 00:16 however i ask you this. If you walked in to guitarcenter or guitarguitar and you saw someone doing all of what buckethead was doing would you think. In fact if you had no idea who buckethead was what would you say about this guitarist. Would you call that person a great musician or someone who is "shredding mindlessly" or "overusing effects"?

[Mrfastfap]

@hallio111 Don't get me wrong i like some of bucketheads stuff but some of it i just can't listen to but its just my opinion. My last comment was a bit overboard :P.

[hallio111]

@Mrfastfap I thought you think all he does is playing stuff like this..:)

if I walked into guitarcenter and would see a guy play like this, I would think;: WTF.

It would impress me reaaally much. I would see a guy working that guitar, to see what speed he can get out of it, of course it's just fun and fast playing...

[Mrfastfap]

@hallio111 I just found this video a few days ago. I love his other guitar work i just think he has his maybe not "low" but eccentric points? But at least we can agree on something, that music should be fun. :)

[BossSav707]

Sounds like somethin out of a video game. Music and video games a combalonation thats so great it allmost seems unreal

[PsyloActiv]

He's definitly godly ! The 8-bit part and sweeps are so fuckin awesome.

But, is it music ? It's technically awesome, but sounded like shit.

[jaranarm]

@PsyloActiv

It sounds "like shit" to you because your ears aren't used to it. Guitarists like Buckethead, Bumblefoot, Mattias Eklundh, etc. grew up in the 80s where musicians with fusion backgrounds were experimenting with outside sounds in their work. Video game composers in particular (many of whom were huge jazz/fusion fans) used such musical phrasings as well and that's why kids today just think of it as "8-bit stuff".

[danglingslong]

@jaranarm Nope, it's just shit. It's not really music.

[jaranarm]

@danglingslong

I wasn't answering the guy whether he thinks it's music or not. To say it's "shit" is like the lowest uneducated form of criticism by people who don't get what's going on. It's just a demonstration of various techniques, nothing more nothing less. Why does everything guitarists play have to be a song?

[danglingslong]

@jaranarm What's going on is he's playing a load of shit.

[jaranarm]

@danglingslong

That doesn't answer my question.

[PsyloActiv]

@jaranarm I'm not talking about the "sound", but more about the melodic construction.

Pretty chaotic too me, and sometimes it's not very musical.

[jaranarm]

@PsyloActiv

What do you mean by "musical"? Buckethead is known to sometimes employ unusual note choices in his solos, like minor 2nds, diminished and tritone intervals, and octave displacement to create bizarre-sounding patterns. He still strings these pieces together using the rules of music. I mean it's not meant to be radio music, but some do like these outside playing styles.

[BRAINTEST22]

I Love KFC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jdrewmill3r]

Fucking Amazing

[MrArtist1971]

whatever.....

[ghsdfghsfghfghfgn]

this guy has serious chops but why so mysterious behind the mask?

[xXtremeMitsosXx]

stupid he just plays fast and boring and how the fack did i get here

[themechanic345]

haha. This is just noise... 

[joblo1978]

I've seen buckethead play some amazing stuff of various different genres. This is just a shred showoff. BTW, show me another guitairist that does what he can do.

[oldnetfag]

@joblo1978 Well, he ain't no jimi Hndrix is he?

[IsaacNazareth]

@joblo1978

Angus do AC/DC

[runrabbitrun4342]

Wow a mindless scale

[TheQxx]

@runrabbitrun4342 You definitely don't get it.

[jarredsutherland]

@TheQxx I get that it sounds like pure garbage. Just a bunch of noises with no rhyme or reason. I don't care what skill it took to play that, it's not something that comes even close to pleasing my ears.

[hallio111]

@jarredsutherland you fuckin idiot, I's not supposed to sound like that. goddamn you simple minded pricks. you guys are like the people saying "fake" at a video which is CLEARLY a fake. one last thing: nobody cares what youre thinkin of his skill or whatever. I can tell you 99% of buckethead fans are not BH fans because of his skill level. It's simply because he's a fuckin gread musician. Do you think he plays this all the time? no imagination.

[brilligate]

@runrabbitrun4342 jeouls

[sinisaprsa]

If you enjoied this, than you are a robot, or you're just retard

[jokebooks]

Buckethead kicks ass.

[PhoenixBird35]

haha suck his dick cause you know you will never be able to do this

[dantex6x]

This is for the people judging Buckethead after just one video, God damned haters. /watch?v=nBj1HDloCQU&feature=r­elated

Plenty of emotion, feel, power, and damned everything.

[StoneageVultures]

i never realised how good he was until now.

[FaimlyGuyFan]

Sounds like a video game!

[TheSanealaddin]

It's just fast, there's no tension, no emotion, no power, the guy is aptly named

[shefow]

Gilmour is the best

[118Huntervasser]

I wish someone would pull that stupid fucking mask and hat off him !!

[yeebuu]

how is that even possible

[stevebanana223]

C3PO raping a fax machine?

[jsphbrv]

still david gilmour

[AyrtonGNR]

¬¬ a lot of random notes

[Pumpkinhead2400]

Anyone who is going to comment on this video saying buckethead has no soul, go here first.

/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&­v=zAP5mDL-ZI4

[Pumpkinhead2400]

@Pumpkinhead2400 And then once you realize the you were a fucking idiot, check out the ones on the side too!

[newloversarrival]

sounds like a zx spectrum game that isn't loading properly.

[kraiza07]

That ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

[SpamBanjo]

@mcgXaliasXbam I do hope you are trolling... I don't even think Slash would agree with that.

[SplitYoWigBack]

he does his own thing, definitely gotta give him credit for that. not the best solo ever but its certainly not boring

[xXDJsmileyXx]

that was fucking awesome

[federicoribeiro]

Reminds me that part where R2D2 gets broken in Star Wars.

[tff1293]

I bet this guy thinks he's good or something.



[usalespaul59]

a whole bunch of random shit....

[Sudharsanbluewaves]

@usalespaul59 Nah mate it is not. You need a very good and trained ear to understand what he is playing. I suggest you listen to this for atleast a 50 times over and over to get the feel of it, and to understand the intricate patterns in it. This is good solo, and he is simply riffing, playing sequences :)

[usalespaul59]

@Sudharsanbluewaves the danger in listening to this crap more than 3 times, is that after that I may go and get a shitbucket for my head as well, in order to suppress the anoying sounds in my head ;)

[jasonburge]

It sounds like R2-D2 having an orgasm.

[Pablotas95]

SUCKS

[USMC19777]

this is why Chinese Democracy was a complete flop...

[StandardiOrten]

@USMC19777 Dude... I'm just gonna let that pass, buckethead is a fucking genious, he is in my opinion miles before guitarists like slash etc. But i respect ur opinion though, people hated on mozart when he was active too so.

[TheQxx]

@USMC19777 Not at all accurate.

[Jamcad01]

God I thought Zakk Wylde had the worst guitar tone. I was wrong.

[ReevesPete]

Everything always comes back to Buckethead.

[0937034killer]

0:55 jizz in my pants

[retro7018]

wow, did he really play "anything" here.Speed, speed, scales, who cares, you're boring to me & keep the bucket & mask on as well.Noone will notice the difference. Another from the Yngwie(you bore me) camp.I'll take blackmore or schenker any day over this.where were his unique & catchy chops on axle's forgettable solo release? And, we'll remember this guy from what memorable solos & hooks???

[guerril1337]

@retro7018 lol what do you mean memorable solos and hooks. He improvises EVERYTHING, except what i guess is the chorus portion of all his material, when performing live. He often tinkers with the chorus portions too, you can have your memorable scripted solos and hooks ill take organic music genious performed on a consistent basis. I only wish i could remember them all.

[DisembodiedLoaf]

@guerril1337 I own 60 bucket albums and I've gotta say; he doesn't improvise everything. He composes many songs with no choruses. CCoH has tons of composed riffs, but no chorus portions, really. I can tell even some of the very fast licks on that album aren't improvised. I noticed him performing some of the Fountains licks, note for note.

He does have a lot of scripted solos, though. That's kind of how all great solos are. You practice it over and over until you get ideas for what you want.

[JonnyYang123]

@DisembodiedLoaf well said! totally agree. this is robotpie.

[oldGnRrocks1]

i can do that with two hands tied behind my back... while having 3 asians working the neck and 2 picking the strings... and that they had too much coffee... and have their asianess turned to 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­0000000% ....easy

[itsamandaN]

this guy scares the piss out of me.

[theshadydog7700]

Sounds like R2 D2 having an orgasm

[joshualopez88]

The original Jabbawockee!

[vhiako]

WOW !!!!!!!!

[CountryBoyShane]

This is the worst guitar playing i've ever heard.  Zero soul.

[EpicMiroslav]

@CountryBoyShane play it, and ill give you both of my cars

[CountryBoyShane]

@EpicMiroslav : Why would anyone want to play garbage like this. I sure don't.

[jaranarm]

@CountryBoyShane

Buckethead was one of those players that experimented with quirky guitar sounds and techniques in their playing from the late 80s/early 90s, along with other guys like Bumblefoot and Mattias Eklundh. I personally dig their off-the-wall vibe. No it isn't for everyone, but they're quite capable of producing conventional songwriting if they wanted to.

[guerril1337]

@CountryBoyShane Oh you so jealous.

[BlueMoonGuitar]

Awesome

[domthemasta]

Seriously, why u guys trollin. BH is honestly an amazing guitarist. If you don't like it gtfo. It's like your all lactose intolerant and you're bitchin out ben and jerry for making ice cream. wtf.

[Chrixp]

awesome ? not really

[Nemesis0300]

Buckethead is the closest thing to Jimi Hendrix there is -- shame morons will never know because they don't actually listen to him, just one video.

[SpamBanjo]

Wow, there are some complete fucktards commenting on this video. Judging this outstanding, technical and often ground breaking guitarist off the back of ONE single video. You guys are fucking morons. You are already on Youtube, just do a search for Buckethead and listen to the range of music he creates. From country to metal, soul to 8-bit style, he owns.

This man is a guitar god and will always be rated by REAL guitarists as one of the most skilled and diverse artists to grace a fretboard.

[EArockerful]

@SpamBanjo FUCK WHAT A LACK OF TALENT FOR REAL....THIS GUY IS FULL NOISE!

[SpamBanjo]

@EArockerful HURR DURR TROLLING IS COOL... go back to 9gag you moron.

[mockbel]

I don't know why I feel that Buckethead is Paul Gilbert !!

[druidofdeath11]

@mockbel He is..

[UncleTito72]

@mockbel This has been debunked already. BH real name is Brian Carroll. There is a connection though. BH was a student of Paul Gilbert.

[MrASIDS]

Too bad where's the Rock n Roll ? Fuck you man !

[commando7144]

this is part of bucketheads soul he can play any style just as all pro`s out there.alot of people have no idea how many hours of dedication to boring scales with metranomes and choosing modes and after all that your style starts to develop some will like it some not but i`m sure he likes what he hears

[wingedstring]

Atonal but shred, nice, nice random notes too... What can I say...
