Buckethead vs Joe Satriani

[Johnnyconcertyahoo]

These two are definitely #1 and #2. And I change my mind everyday about which one of them is 1 and which one of them is 2. I'm just happy I've seen both of them live from the front row many times. Flabbergasting!

[jAngo583]

i can play wat joe satriani play_bt suck at playing that of BH_so for me_BH for president

[11ManJack]

bucket head won joe sucks



[winner1ification]

Buckethead won

[Thrangar3]

Buckethead and Joe Satriani? No comparison, NO one plays as fast as joe with such good, clean quality.

[sherbox]

BH, no doubt.

[MrMetalkiller66]

They are both fucking gods...but Bucket Head is better!

[CHECHE123456789]

@crayhead I respect your opinion, but i've listened lots of songs of satriani and buckethead, and i found that satriani uses a lot of scales, licks and other things in his songs. buckethead is very creative too, he uses a lot of effects, techniques, and he also have an UNIQUE STYLE , but if you hear harmonies in his songs, they are a little bit simple.

[CHECHE123456789]

satriani is way more creative

[KirbyOnCronic]

@CHECHE123456789 how?

[crayhead]

@CHECHE123456789 I love Satch, but how could anyone say he's more creative than Big B....B is the Hendrix of my generation and many generations...Go listen to Electric Tears, Electric Sea, Colma, Anything he does with Travis Dickerson...B is the most creative Musician in the industry....

[333Salvador333]

@CHECHE123456789 satriani is way more creative my fuckin ass humans vanish, ghost , soothsayer, siege machine , machete, jordan

[CHECHE123456789]

@333Salvador333 too simple for satriani

[tumarido555]

quien es ese sujeto con un tarro en la cabeza??? parece un vulgar imbecil que solo conoce el shredding..... no tiene para nada la tecnica de Joe ni a los talones diría

[ecruz346]

obviamente el mejor para mi...es Buckethead!!!!!!!!

[Brother93Mali]

BUCKETJOEE IS THE BEST :D:D:D:D:D:D

[dorianpod77]

I just can't choose... i'd like to see Satch sweeping and BH using the tremolo bar tough...

[gougou354]

@dorianpod77 satch sweeping ? just watch any of his vids ;)

[KokiriWhoDat]

There is no comparasions.They are both great, they both can play fast, and they can play slow and emotional. It all depends on peoples taste of music. Look up if I could fly and For Mom. Those are better songs than these.

[rikdreijer]

Both too fast to feel.

The guy that plays the guitar used to get the girls....

[HTCariaUSER]

JOEEEE :D

[ericlapton66]

Buckethead ROCKS!

[mahler666]

I don't know why everybody thinks if somebody plays guitar faster then he or she is superior or better musician. please don't think like a child if you know somebody who has some knowledge about music ask him/her about who is great musician or guitar player. you should compare joe with the great guitarist like great musicians like yngwie malmsteen eric johnson steve vai or another monsters like himself not with a handful childs.

[talsophos]

Joe satriani wins hands down ! Maybe not for speed but joe uses a lot more techniques in songs and not just 110mph alternate (Paul Gilbert) licks ! Joe has melody and speed and emotion !! Bucketman has speed END OF

[Hermanos1993]

@talsophos I guess u've never heard of Electric Tears, Earth Heals Herself, Way to Heaven, Too Many humans and so on...

[28blay]

To close to call for me!

[gustavolrusso]

Satriani is a monster

[paisleyhat3427]

Buckethead is the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!No one beats buckethead

[chaiikee]

sorry

is Joe Satriani - Surfing with the alien

[chaiikee]

Buckethead - Jordan

[Shinobudo]

These are my two favorite guitarists of all time and it's insulting to each of them to ask who is better. Get these $hit videos off Youtube.

[susakun]

jordan solo without tapping random part? a u srsly?

[dannyx542]

Bucket head is the best1!!!!!!

[DengaHD]

@marcusdolby1 They both suck? Are you fucking serious?

[AlivebyD3ath]

Oh WOW, hard decision.... Im just going to have to agree with Mason up there that music is not a competitive sport because... this is just to hard to decide

[AlivebyD3ath]

BUT.. Im gonna have to go with Buckethead.. <3

[madison2206]

buckethead kicks arse

[Metalupyourass232]

Satriani

[SuperBlink202]

~TIE~

[bigd6ful]

the difference between bucket and the other great guitar players like satriani and vai is bucket makes great original music and all the other just lay down five minutes of fret wanking over some drums

[gougou354]

@bigd6ful Wait ? You're saying satriani is only putting shred on a drum line ? What a cock sucker ! Listen some of his music and you'll understand. He's a genius ! It's not for nothing he's called "The master" in the music field ....

[bigd6ful]

@gougou354 seriously this guy has decent technic but his music sucks...it has no intensity... and the only thing he is a master of is making crappy music that sounds like it would be in a cheesy 80's movie..lol

[gougou354]

@bigd6ful master of crappy music ? When i say he's called "the master" it's Rolling Stone magazine's quote ! Adn he teached guitar to many know musician, like the guitarist from Metallica by example. Let's ask google and learn something. You sir are a freakin moron who don't know shit about music. And btw, satriani's music is full of emotion, just learn to open your mind, u freakin idiot !

[gupie16]

@bigd6ful actually all 3 of them make good original music as well as wanking. I'm surprised you think vai wanks. Almost all of his stuff is touchy-feely imo. Satriani is more prone to wanking. Buckethead has many moments in which he completely disregards rhythm and sound and super shreds original space/robot/ghost/other-themed sounds.

[pdtpuck]

They both suck balls because they're both waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than I'll ever be.

[Unacknowledged86]

In terms of a singular perfected sound joe. In terms of overall musical ability bucket... you cant really judge on this vid but i think it's more fair than most vs vids

[ReemDay]

They both suck? I'd like to see you do that...

[gougou354]

@ReemDay Who's the dick head saying Satriani and Buckethead sucked ?

My rage i'll unleashed on this jerk ! This could be only one king of people -> Jonas Brother's fan 

[marcusdolby1]

I love these videos where one artists music is CLEARLY LOUDER than the others.

They both suck..........

[mullyguts]

Yeah Chet Atkins for me to

[LilMeroReaper]

Hands down Buckethead wins!!!!!!

[ThePoisonCloud]

I choose chet atkins ; D

[Steifmeister96]

Of course Buckethead..

[cmblake6]

Me? I'm going Buckethead with Satriani running an almost indiscernible second.

[cmblake6]

Whichever you choose, either are KING of the guitar!

[mareckiyo]

Satriani jest niesamowity ale na dłuższą metę męczący,poza tym jest wielu doskonałych gitarzystów którzy technicznie wymiatają Richie Blackmore,Ken Hamme,Vai,Van Halen .Hendrix nawet nasz Grzesiu Skawiński ktorego widziałem na rasowej solowce w Jarocinie,gusta i gusta ale mimo to zawsze odplywam jak słyszę gitarręę :)

[nese67]

thats like who is better .jimmy page or ted nugent.ITS ALL GOOD .and keep it rock-n.thats the great thing about the guitar.you can make it talk any way you want and people like it or they dont.......Dain

[thefamcnaj]

@nese67 Easy answer....Jimmy page is a god on the guitar. A leauge of his own

[samborlon]

It's obvious. Joe is the master, a virtuoso.

[jefersonaguilera]

buckethead!!!!!!



[ThePODXT]

Whats the song of the intro ?

[mumpsternugget]

i would usually say the same thang all you are saying wich is you cant compare but im going with buckethead only because his stuff breaks me down, and lots of memories with his stuff

[Mala6eesh]

Satriani is the best \m/

[aLeXx1314]

both extremely talented individuals..very different styles..can't really say which one is better cause both of them can make their instruments sing..and when it comes to guitar playing that's all that matters..

[Kingcounty11]

I say Joe Satriani because he makes good sounding music, sure you can go out there and shred the hell out of a guitar, but it takes real skill to play a real heart warming piece on the guitar.

[MasterOfTrapos]

satch

simply as that

[highintel]

I agree comparing guitarists is stupid. But at least we get to hear some bad ass solos ;)

[ShayWithACapitalS]

JEFF BECK!!!

[kGmusicpage]

This is like saying gibson vs. hammer, ferarri vs. honda, engl vs. crate, sex vs. masterbation, slayer vs. nsync, iphone vs. bagphone, cable vs. dialup.....i think i made my point.......BUCKETHEAD

[AssassinSteven]

At the end of the day... we all know Eddie Van Halen is the best :D

[squisheeman007]

@AssassinSteven Nah.

[TheRaunak666]

Buckethead wins....!!

[DeathMetalSavior]

I SAY STEVE VAI!

[AngelOfNight9]

Sled Ride from Buckethead would've went perfect along side Always with me always with you at the end

[AngelOfNight9]

Ooo I love Satch, but Bucket is a little more rounded/diverse and faster. Buckethead. Barely :/

[AngelOfNight9]

@AngelOfNight9 Aw hell I dunno. I love them equally :D

[gilbet]

Joe is smoother and has more control. Everything's stitched together perfectly and there are no extra notes.

Buckethead plays twice as fast and has some nice sounds, but he's all over the place.

[BLEZGYI]

why dont we compare our dicks too????!!!!!!!!!!

(it also would be just as important..)

[Ikhira]

Joe Satriani FAIL!

[cessnaismydog]

Buckethead wins!!!:-)

[TheFinalfreakfantasy]

Lets just say that Buckethead is an alien and Satriani is surfin' with him.

[andreagiacalone]

IMPOSSIBLE TO MATCH

[xenonnati]

Buckethead and Satriani duo can only be expressed by one word: GOD

[digitalbeachbum]

1 - The audio on the two samples are presented at different levels of audio output (loudness) giving me the assumption that the maker of this video favors Buckethead; which would be unfair to Satriani.

2 - Both are masters in their own realm. Both are amazing.

3 - I like both of them for different reasons and for their different styles. I respect both.

[BlazemanGuitarX]

It's like Colonel Sanders versus a bald Colonel Sanders. So that must mean the chicken tastes great except one is less hairy?

Don't even want to think about that.

[ChoolGuys]

[fliten1337]

Buckethead!!!!!!!

[tothemartin]

Just play Elephant Man's Alarm Clock...Done...

[MasonDixonPhoto]

NEWSFLASH:

Music is not a competitive sport.

That is all.

[iamthescott1]

@MasonDixonPhoto best. comment. ever.

[MrTwistedFox]

@MasonDixonPhoto NEWSFLASH:

This is the internet, therefor the laws of space, time, and music do not apply.

THAT is all.

[KirbyOnCronic]

@MasonDixonPhoto actually it is....Music artists compete with one another for our money and attention.

[MasonDixonPhoto]

@KirbyOnCronic No, record labels concern themselves with units sold & seats filled. I've met Joe Satriani, and talked with him a bit - I can assure you he is not motivated by 'defeating' Buckethead, Vai or anyone else, or depriving other musicians of revenue or attention.

Satch only competes with himself, to further his own musical capabilities. And if you know anything about Buckethead, you'd know he is NOT motivated by commercial success or being better than other musicians.

[KirbyOnCronic]

@MasonDixonPhoto So because you've met Joe Satriani, you suddenly know his whole philosophy on making music? Lol...you funny.

[MasonDixonPhoto]

@KirbyOnCronic Yeah, actually I DO know his philosophy, because we discussed this exact topic, and he was amused by the competitive mentality of so many guitar aficionados.

But, hey, you go right ahead believing music is about making money, depriving other musicians of attention and being the 'best' at something that is entirely subjective. I'm sure that philosophy will take you far in life.

I'm glad you think I'm 'funny'. I think it's funny that you spelled chronic wrong. :D

[Fenderbenne]

Satch. Easy cake. He is more tenchinqual, and he has better control over the guitar.

But yeah, they are different genres^^

[oldschoolcomedy]

Satriani, I think, is better than Buckethead. But, each of them represent different eges of rock, Satriani is more ´80/´90, Buckethead is more XXI century. Beside, Hendrix fuck them up big time.

[MrFuck1006]

Buckethead is way more tallented!!!! KILLSWITCH !!!!

[interzonemantra]

both fantastic guitar players with different styles, but buckethead's style is more my thing.

[violetcherry1995]

BucketHead.

[iamstupidhahaha1]

Buckethead!

[thermalrigth]

sach=yoda

[katdaug]

Buckethead is better by far!

[lukas199046]

Buckethead é  melhor ele é o Rei da Guiarra o mestre ... buckethead te amo ♥♥♥

[AluadoAlmofadinhas]

LEGENDERY



[TheVagolfer]

Buckethead is more talented, Satriani is more sane, 'nuff said.

[zogisuber10]

IMO, Satriani is awesome. But Buckethead is awesome. So my choice is clear...

[russian0criminal]

My Reactions

Satriani:... cool

Buckethead:...i need some new boxers brb.



[XTREMENOVA2000]

BUCKETHEAD (0_0)

[alphadork1]

Buckethead.



[socratesplanet]

Buckethead!! no doubt about it!!!

[MrE517]

Satriani is excellent but I believe that Buckethead is infinitely more talented. In the guitar world I also think he is underrated as well. His diversity is incomparable and his passion speaks more than volumes. Many say he is trashy, but that is an emotion few dare to express on guitar for that reason. Not to mention he can play almost anything he or anyone else has written with his eyes closed. He is a true virtuoso and deserves more recognition and praise.

[KoRn69966996]

i like both also.....in my opinion Eddie Van Halen is better than both! SUCK IT!!!

[justsaviorbreath]

I think Buckethead has more passion than Satriani, but Satriani undoubtedly has more technique. I hate these type of questions. Coke or Pespi? Which one is better? It's a matter of opinion. Buckethead can make you sob with his guitar. Satriani can tell you a story with his guitar. Both of them don't need words to get your attention. Both are very talented artists. Top two electric guitarists in the world today imo.

[ProtestAgainstWhores]

Joe Satriani used to be my favorite guitarist. The first time I heard Buckethead I thought "suddenly Satriani sounds like shit". Don't get me wrong. Joe Satriani is an all time great. Those just happen to be the words that went through my mind.

[beleiver123]

Buckethead Forever ! Forever Bitch !

[peepo9000]

DIMEBAG DARRELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bitch.

[haydenbridgefilms]

Joe Satriani is the "Teacher" . He has feeling that Bucket-Head lacks; plus the tastie cleanness, that only... "Joe Satriani" can Produce!

[romaggot]

@haydenbridgefilms buckethead lacks feeling? listen to colma, electric tears and population override albums and then tell me he doesn't have emotion.

buckethead hits the core of the human soul like no other guitarist before him

[deebo47]

No comparison, Joe is hands down the best there is! One cannot compare him with other mainstream musicians since he is in a league of his own.

[shadow1990video]

buckets music has more passion... i feel more emotions in his songs, in his fast and slow songs, what i cant say about joe satriani...

[TheClcngjc]

Satriani any day .........not shit head...hahahah

[romaggot]

@TheClcngjc that "shithead" is alot better than most live guitarists (if not the best) so lol all you want. it's your loss if you choose to be ignorant

[ilikehumpingbitches]

@TheClcngjc the only shithead is ur deceased father bitch!

[TheClcngjc]

@ilikehumpingbitches go have a fat shit and wank it,,you shit for brains  did your dad fuck you to hard .......or is your dad your mums brother bucket head wannabe...

[ilikehumpingbitches]

@TheClcngjc first,learn to spell right.its too* and yea,i humped your mom last night.cheap fun it was.that whore wanted just 2 dollars :)

[TheGlenn9]

bucket head is the better shredder , but I would rather listen to satch anyday ,satch does the perfect mix of riffs, melody, powerchords ,and fast runs ,he knows when to use each technique and dosn't over do the shredding witch can get boring,but thats just my opinion

[StylistRhymist]

buckethead copied the jabberwockiez

[kGmusicpage]

@StylistRhymist buckethead was wearing a mask before the jabacopies were sperm in an egg

[LucasIsBig]

buckethead he plays all sorts of diffrent kinds of stuff joes good though to

[rafekguitar1]

NA verdade nem se compara,Buckethead possui solos mais claros e eficaz,Joe faz solos aleatorios sem definição continua.!!!!

[olivetepalmeirinha]

Mais uma comparação polêmica...

[Prymecrafter]

in my personal opinion i think that bucket its waaaaaay better, just in the way that his music is more energetic.

thumbs up if u agree

[TH3T045T]

These 2 guitarists aren't even in the same ballpark when it comes to playing, in my personal opinion, I love the bucket, his music is just so.. Enthralling, yet when I hear sat, I generally get bored, or tired. With Buckethead, I tend to get more.. Excited, perhaps, Enthused with the music this "Human" plays starts to play in either harmony or whatever you might call his fantastic solos. Hate on me if you must, but Sat is not very good in my opinion, Buckethead for life. \m/

[ante23apolon]

Petrucci !!

[LischZeb]

robert johnson

[velvetrevolver016]

are you kidding?! who are you comparing to Joe Satriani, wtf??!

[zmjohnston]

Satriani and buckethead both have different styles. I like both very much, but buckethead is undoubtedly more diverse and talented.

[AngelOfNight9]

@zmjohnston Just not true

[KirbyOnCronic]

You can argue for days about who's more talented...but Buckethead is clearly more diverse. Don't see how anyone can seriously argue otherwise.

[SteveSbc406]

@zmjohnston Your statement proves for a fact that you aren't all that familiar with Satriani's work. Listen to all Satriani's work, even his songs that aren't popular, and take note of his great diversity. Then come back and talk about diversity.

And to say that buckethead is more talented is just ridiculous... In fact, it's actually immature.

I personally wouldn't attempt to judge one against the other. It's foolish to do so.

[zmjohnston]

@SteveSbc406

I've listened to a huge volume of Buckethead and Satriani songs. What I posted is my opinion, which I am entitled to, as are you with your opinion. There are no 'facts' when comparing two artists. In my world, Buckethead will always be better, but I appreciate both.

[0NoName9]

Buckethead. He has nunchucks.

[peepo9000]

But between buckethead and joe? Oh...

creativity and conceptual desing -Buckethead

better live - Satriani

in general - ...I think Buckethead cause I just don't like Satriaini that much

[masterofpuppets3101]

@peepo9000 Darrell*.Know your Legends right.

[peepo9000]

@masterofpuppets3101 Son. son. It was an honest mistake. legends*. Know your improper nouns right. Haha.

[masterofpuppets3101]

@peepo9000 Well in that case, it should be Son.Son* not son. Notice the '.' before.Haha.

[peepo9000]

@masterofpuppets3101 LOL. Well damn...that didn't go as planned.

[ilikehumpingbitches]

@peepo9000 Stupid motherfucker, its Darrell* 

[peepo9000]

@ilikehumpingbitches This isn't going to be a common thing is it? We've been through this, man. It's ok...goosfraba.

[peepo9000]

@ilikehumpingbitches Let's just start over then, shall we?

[kempsdaman]

did satriani learn guitar before or after he escaped from butcher bay? :P

[pan195]

Bucket head all the way!

[phercy27]

buckethead

his mask its cool

@arbiter961 buckethead has alot more emotion than is shown in this video. for your reference-colma, electric tears and population override albums..then acoustic shards, elephant man's
