Buckethead UNMASKED for real

[funghighlsd25records]

all respect to buckethead as an inspiration and a lesson in not selling out musically or otherwise come see my tribute version of soothsayer

[polipoli8]

If you want to see buckethead unmasked, type ''Young Buckethead unmasked'', it will give you 2 video of BH playing live in late 80's without mask. I'm not joking.

[FourPie]

@ 0:26 Yngwie Malmsteen is better than buckethead.

[hendrixexperiencedig]

you've predicted my next comment in your description well done.

[MikeyboyMovies]

The idea of Buckethead is fucking genius.

[mel577]

I'm tired of people posting videos "showing" Buckethead without his mask, when the guy in all of these pictures is a guy called Stephan "Fanalo" Alaux, from a French band.

[hjejmnse1]

The best metal guitarist even said buckehead is better than him and slash mixed together x10

[junior666native]

More nunchuks bro! Keep up the awesome performing. Junior666

[OswaldvonWolkenstein]

Listened to a bunch of Buckethead stuff, like Paul Gilbert, incredible technical ability, also like Paul Gilbert, incredibly cliched. I've just listed to about 40 hours of his stuff over the past couple of days. It's basically elevator music played by an awesome guitarist.

[namzop]

Hey does he have really long fingers?  It looks like he's doing some crazy 5-16 fret finger stretch or something.

[Shanon576]

Jack White way better than bucket fuck

[diaryofanaxeman56]

you spelled RHOADS wrong.....

[Legopedrok]

how do u know that is yngwie malmsteen?? thats fake, is paul gilbert, because malmsteen is power metal, and buckethead hav 0% power metal

[merer435]

@megabeast04 yeah buckethead sucks? if slash and angus are the best then why is GUITAR WORLD rating big b the best and bucket is far from beginner he could play circles around angus and slash so FU faget

[irishfreak929]

MAB is better IMO

[amodelchurro]

God had sex with a guitar and then Buckethead was born

[VGMEnix]

lol hes so hard when it comes to music right? im surprised about his stage fright though...

[risingangel546]

I have a theory of buckethead....

A. He really is Brian Carroll

B. He's Jesus with a guitar

C. He's Chuck Norris with a guitar

D. Some experiment went totally right mixing Jesus and Chuck Norris and Brian Carroll, AKA Buckethead was born.

Probably D.

[ace41r]

Lol this guy is lying, Buckethead was sent from the heavens to preach music in planet earth.

[lucas91293]

buckethead sucks. it's just mindless shred.

[MegaBeast04]

@lucas91293 Your a complete dumbass, listen to most of his songs

and you'll see dipshit. he's one of the best guitarist ever.

FUCKFACE. Do some research of songs by him and you will think oh shit

Buckehead is so damn badass. I regret dick riding a different guitarist.

[Shanon576]

@MegaBeast04 He still sucks dick in my books he maybe considered one of the best but that magazine is on crack to think that he is. Angus and Slash Are the best guitarist. I put Buckethead or KFC man at a beginner level. Just like you dumb ass. Thank God he left The new Guns n Roses cause there finaly selling concert tickets.

[MegaBeast04]

@Shanon576 You too are an idiot like lucas.

have you even heard any of his songs besides over rated ones such as jordan?

Listen to Soothsayer, electric tears, lotus island, nottingham lace,

king james, whitewash, and many more to see for your self the true beauty of his work.

OR you can be the dumbass you are today and keep listening to slash and angus.

[grindee2]

@Shanon576 Few things here. are you a guitarist yourself? because I highly doubt you are. Everything buckethead does is pure skill and genius. Angus and Slash are way overrated. They really suck. Anyone can learn to play fast but it takes true talent to put feel and emotion into songs. Somethin Angus, Slash or you will never understand. It takes way more skill to even comprehend playing bucketheads songs. I've been playing guitar for 8 years and what Angus & Slash play is cake to learn.

[pivotpcproductions]

@DrakeFender Fucking idiot.

[3M00RI]

@DrakeFender fuck you hes not

[haloflame]

RIP RHOADES GOD I LOVE THAT!!!!

[l33tgmr]

@DrakeFender, Buckethead is not dead dumbass. Look it up.

[bergAgreb]

@bigoldsweet yes i am, and so are you ... not

[rjoel222]

look at my video Buckethead really unmasked !!!

[muskie1976]

jack black plays a better guitar than buckethead.

[starxscreamx]

@muskie1976 i think u mean kyle gass lol jack black can play but he usually just sings

[IAmTheCthulhu]

This is my favorite song. I put this on repeat and fucked my gf to it the other day almost all day. :D

[SyNth3tic0412]

0:32 spelled started wrong

[drebinable]

ClassX is the key...

[jasonxxx123xxx]

@ Xxblacksheep42xX fuck you ur a fucking idiot you faggot

[bergAgreb]

dora the explorer was made 1999 i think, so the first picture cant be buckethead because he was born in the 60s

[lowlypeasant]

what song is that?

good lord its good.

[IAmTheCthulhu]

@lowlypeasant wanna fuck to it don't ya? :P

[lowlypeasant]

@IAmTheCthulhu no, i want to smoke some weed and listen to my headphones to it. or fuck to it .. either one works.

[IAmTheCthulhu]

@lowlypeasant lol i smoked a blunt with my gf when we started. it was amazing. i love music.

[orangeman10987]

don't get me wrong, i absolutely love buckethead, he is a genius, but don't talk shit on other guitarists just because you think buckethead is God's gift to mankind

[Lymesloop]

How do you know that Buckethead has got stage fright?

[myvannhudsonromance]

You look at BucketHead and think " Oh great, another GWAR wannabee garbage band like Slipknot" but Buckethead is a genius and he can shred like nobodys buisiness.

[ironbetito]

CHUPALAAA!

[angusg61]

angus young isn't left handed

[wolfmetal22666]

fuck you, this is not real buckethead

NO ES EL VERDADERO BUCKETHEAD!!

NO LO ES!!!

[CicadaKillerMan]

At 0:37 that's the real Buckethead.

[SSBChar]

Is yngwie guy/girl?

[bigAshizzle]

Lol dude, Yngwie is a guy.

[SSBChar]

thanks

[orangeman10987]

yngwie, all he does is sit on his fat ass and eat cheesecake all day. he used to have a career before john petrucci came around

[miser42]

thats comparing rat turds to rat pee there pal.

[orangeman10987]

@miser42

i was making a joke, its a reference to a voice over video of john petrucci. and are you saying petrucci and malmsteen are rat droppings? cause they are two of the best guitarists in the world. i know you buckethead fans get all pissy if anyone says anything bad about your idol, but there are other guitarists in the world, and some of them, (like malmsteen and petrucci) i would say are more talented. whether they have a better sense of melody tho, that's debatable.

[sgdiablo91]

i absolutely love bucket head ... his style is fuckin nutzzzzz his tapping is unique.. p.s. i respect the rip tribute to rhoads but i think dime bag sux

[alfother]

huh...even though i know he wouldnt want it, id still love to walk up to him and at least thank and congratulate him for his amazing music

[aQ2223]

I have seen this picture full size and all i can say is... what the fuck happened to his little finger?

[alex29bass]

Those are finger extensions made of some kind of plastic.

[Sgtsnowflake]

if u like buckethead go to standardmancover

[mangekyou21]

buckethead is awesome

[roodtooder]

BUCKETEAD ROCKS and yeah no he isnt all shred...listen to electric tears

[MetalHealthTheJoker]

buckethead cant be yngwie malmsteen.

[8eDu4rDo8]

he doesnt suck he is the best guitar player in the world

[111Buckethead]

if i could rate this comment 90000000000 thumbs up i wold.. Theres no one better than buckethead and there never will be. :D

[hawaiou]

All I know for sure is his music is awesome.

[S3bz3r0]

Why does everyone is that curious to see him unmasked? i find it so weird that i saw his face that my mind refuses it, to me, his face is the mask.

and i'm not sure if it really is buckethead, there's no proof at all in the video, and i don't care

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

You cant really say nothing dude. Your the one who is watching this video just like the rest of us, so you must want to see him unmask, or you just want to complain like an asshole.

[S3bz3r0]

i just wanted to tell my opinion to others

i don't complain

i just find it stupid

Buckethead's Buckethead if he wants to!

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

But you obviously typed in buckethead unmasked, so you must of wanted to see him unmasked, so what the hell?

[S3bz3r0]

i didn't type buckethead unmasked, it was a related video, that's it

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

yup

[roodtooder]

his names brian carol

[daronmichelle]

ew.. people are comparing Buckethead to Jack White on these comments... GROSS

buckethead will run circles while playing the guitar and doing nunchucks at the same time around Jack White.

Buckethead haters that say Buckethead has no soul: listen to "Lone Sal Bug" or "I Love my Parents" or "Sketches of Spain", plus many many more... you people need to do some research before you come on here and say Bucket is just some weird guy who shreds.

Long Live Buckethead!!!!!!!!!

[lowlypeasant]

@daronmichelle why dis Jack White?? its apples and oranges. JW is great at what he does and BH is great at doing his own thing. Both are fresh and original.

[ShredAstaire]

Why do you care what he looks like? It has nothing to do with anything. He wears a mask for a reason - respect the man and remove this vid.

[jjobie]

@ShredAstaire What is the reason, since you mention it?

[hellraiser548620]

search classx if you want to see him unmasked and play when he was 19 in an old band of him

[ManOSteel2121]

doesnt the 4th picture look like John from The Breakfast Club? just longer hair?

[TheEliminator1992]

Buckethead FTW, masked or unmasked.

[turntapzap]

That was nice to see. I always wondered who that was under the KFC hat. Thanks for posting!

[Midgardfalke]

blah blah buckethead sucks all he does is mindless shred.

[Timmonsec]

slash fan?... what a poor noob... i pity you... i really do... mOst likely, youll discover BHs greatness soon enough...

[Midgardfalke]

Thar was irony... I just pasted the stuff from the description...

[UnattendedMinds]

wow...actually look up the guitarist before you say shit. look up:

i love my parents

space cadilac

Padnasam

sooth sayer

no more humans

* there are over 22 emotional songs from funk-to blues-to pure acoustic. so shut the fuck up. if you wanna talk shit actually know facts about him, and your very immature to just look up a video of bucket head just to critisize....GROW UP

[kingdom8]

listen to "big sur moon" and "I love my parents" then say all he does is mindlessly shred

[megaladon73]

It's just weird to me that the only known pic of him unmasked is from 20 years ago. You'd think that either some random person, one of his friends or the press would've snapped a pic without the mask within the last few years and it would be out floating on the internet somewhere... kinda like when KISS refused to be photographed without their makeup on in the 70s and early 80s...

[faithlessarrow]

lol and at 12 he stared playing guitar, you need to perfect your spelling buddy

[faithlessarrow]

hate it when people try to feed me pointless crap about musicians, "he likes horror movies and comics* yeah like thats not common

[MrPaintballfreak13]

dude its not mindless shread but all it is is superfast scales and he puts in an off note while he plays the scale so you dont notice so sorry he isnt great as u guys say

[thisIStheARTofRUIN]

dont be ignorant. it takes YEARS to become as accurate as he is. and lol about that "superfast scales" thing. i suggest you do a little research before commenting such crap. come back when you've listened to more than just jordan.

[jefryslash]

No i was talking about YOUR Mom lol :D

[gibsonguy098]

cool

[ciannaisackyfan]

only one of those pics is buckethead

[jefryslash]

GANGEDUPG 's Mom was Actually Ganged up ! by me and 10 other freinds and that's why he picked this name so he never forget how HOT it was watching us Takin advantage of his MOma lool :D

even buckethead joined in ! now that's Horrible lol

[GANGEDUPG]

jefryslash, u area fucking asswipe. dont hate on buckethead just because hes awsome and youre mom sucks cock for a pimp named slickback for fun. u fucking suck dude.

[YOU23DUH]

lol boondocks

[gusyboy911]

jefryslash go fuck yourself you dumb cunt.

[bubbajster]

Die in a hole, you piece of shit.

[dtbjjrb]

I never knew you would actually talk about yourself like that.

[xSAMMIExxMARVINx]

wasnt 0:25 ynwgie malmestien

[guitarwailer7]

yep.

[MycroGrape]

he apparently got the idea of buckethead after he watched a Halloween film and liked the mask that he wore in the film, so he went and bought one at a shop that looked very similar, and then his dad brought him a KFC on a day, so he thought it would be good ... :P apparently thats what the real story is

[videojudge01]

does anybody know whether or not if he really is disturbed by slaughtered chickens or even grew up on a farm around a coop? is any of that even true? is it all just a gimmick? whether or not if it is, he's still a god with a guitar

[OttoMetall]

Nothing of that is true, he just maked up something for the buckethead caracter he made.

Buckethead is the best

[GTPJoe54]

I just wanna say there are many amazing guitarist out there and this guy is one of them. Bucket or not he can play the thing!!

[iMakeYouLaugh321]

thers no possible way that dora the explora when he was a little kid hes 38 years old dumbass

[Vader12405]

harolove, dude...you spelled 'Rhoads' wrong

[NinjaGaidenGamer]

0:21 This is the guitarrist of AC/DC, Angus Young

[BoscoeFrance]

Type in Classx to see some footage of Brian Carroll playing with a cover band in the 80s.

[darkangel294]

he is really buckethead

[ChrisBuckethead]

i'll just say it quickly

FUCK ALL BUCKETHEAD HATERS!

[thedude1414]

probably not. jack white, i admit, is a good guitarist but i doubt he would beat buckethead at a contest. plus seven nation army is fucking easy i learned that song in less time than it takes to listen to it

[shynna80]

he makes alot of funny faces when he plays therefore he needs to wear the mask....

i think he plays pretty well

[DieChavScum]

"didn't want to be recognized", what a load of shit, nobody really gives a shit, who listens to Buckethead? I know not a single person who does.

[Runescape10I]

i which i was you then i am the only person i know who listens to buckethead i get slagged in school just caus he wears a bucket so fucking what?i least he can play

[okok103]

that makes so much sence i thought he was burnt or somthing

[halo3x2]

dude fuck ac/dc they suck ass

[Jediknight1818]

fuck you man AC\DC are rock......So many bands today wouldn't be around without their influence.....

[acdcfreak94]

buckethead sucks!

[whiteliongate]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! yes! he sucks ass. i don't know why the hell people like him. btw nice username. ac/dc is my favorite band!

[xxdrummer370xx]

Dude, buckethead doesn't have SHIT on angus young. Fuck he doesn't even have shit on jack white. I mean, go listen to seven nation army, and then listen to soothsayer. seven nation army is CLEARLY the overall better song.

[CableReadyTechnoSIut]

Dude your a moron. Seriously, dyou play guitar by any chance, cuz if not you shouldn't be speaking. Theres nothing in seven nation army a 3 year guitarist can't play.

[xxdrummer370xx]

Musically, seven nation army shits all over anything Buckethead has put out. Jeez dude. It's like, you're completely ignorant to the world of music.

[CableReadyTechnoSIut]

Please insert my dick into your mouth now. Your just like all the other little kids on youtube, MY MJ,USIC IS THE BEST BECAUSE! Grow up and learn a thing or two about music theory, next youll say louie louie was a masterpiece.

[xxdrummer370xx]

No. I am not like all the other retard kids on youtube. Sorry. You're just jealous because Buckethead isn't anywhere near as technical as Jack White. I mean, sure. Buckethead can play all that fast crazy shit, but Jack white has more sould than anybody. He's clearly the best guitar player ever.

[thedude1414]

you obviously should do some reaserch before posting shit. you obviously have never heard watching the boats with my dad. that song isnt crazy fast and has more "soul" than you realize

[xxdrummer370xx]

I have totally heard that song. I've heard more Buckethead songs than you would think. It's just, Jack white would take a shit all over Bucketheads mask in a guitar battle. Duh.

[CableReadyTechnoSIut]

yes clearly because you said so. again, grow up.

[oilkills]

Buckethead said that... "Shawn Lane is the greatest guitarist that ever lived." AND HE WAS RIGHT!!!

[Liturgyofwar]

@xxdrummer370xx

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[icantfnduser1]

dude, realize what you say! think before you speak you just said "my dick into your mouth now" basically you said your gay!

dude thats disgusting!

[stownlax85]

funny

[CableReadyTechnoSIut]

LOL well that explains alot.

[thomas2435252]

yeh, this is true! the best guitar players are the 'old' guitar players : Angus Young, Dave Murray, Jimmy Page etc.

[CreatorOfChaosxx]

I know plenty of new guitarists that are better then old ones

[danh5150]

Holy crap....

I have the issue of 'Guitar For The Practicing Musician' that the photo at 0:37 is from. I remember one of my best friends and I wondering if they were his real fingers or not. Obviously they are some type of extensions (assuming the video is correct about his identity).

Who knew? LOL!

[oilkills]

Buckethead said, "Shawn Lane is the

greatest guitarist that ever lived."

I said,"Whaat?" Then I saw Shawn play...

Buckethead was right!!!

[halabalo195]

Lies, Jimi Hendrix is the best guitatarist ever.

[oilkills]

Go argue that with Buckethead... and MAB and Gilbert and Romeo and Masi and Cooley

[halabalo195]

I think most guitarists can agree that jimi hendrix is the best. Who´s MAB?

[oilkills]

Buckethead said ,"Shawn Lane is the greatest ever...

Micheal Angelo Batio said "Shawn Lane is a guitar deity!"

[yngvaibucketrucci]

yes but they're talking about playing skill not all the aspects of making music with a guitar, I don't know that most guitarist would agree on Jimi but certainly more would agree on him than anyone else. and with good reason!

[soadpwnsu]

i have nothing but respect for anyone who can play like those two can. they're both great.

[MasYoNo25]

Buckethead is neither Steve Vai or Brian Carroll (he wears wig).lol...............

[evan111knights]

Buckethead is Brian Carroll.

[MasYoNo25]

He is so skinny but his hands are long and so big.........

[Enclawe13]

Rip dimebag? WTF RANDOM

[aannttee11]

I think Buckethead is the best artist in the world. And that is actually the right picture of him unmasked

[DmonkeyD1994]

buckethead is the best guitarist to date

i like him more then petrucci,yngwie and gilbert now

he has no drawbacks except for being a freak

[AntiAP09]

Wow. I honestly thought people would get that. Idiots.

[royky2]

no guys realy

why he wears a KFC bucket?!? Oo

[handrix89]

it's just a sponsor. He needs something to pay his food with. Or maybe they just feed him :O.

[asthenia166]

WOW don't you know why he plays guitar in the first place? damn nigga where have you been lol its no sponsor haha...

[ShredDinky]

your a dumbass. you must not understand musical genius. Do you say Yngwie just mindlessly shreds as well?

[giostorm14]

it may not be mindless but u hav to admit especially yngwie overdoes it sometimes

[MasterOfDaCheezit]

you have no idea about buckethead you worthless douche! acually listen to his songs and you will shut the fuck up. look up songs like whitewash,sir james,i love my parents,colma,datura,ovum prophacy i could go on and on of songs that dont even have a single note that's faster than a sixteenth note

[7farhan786]

He must be a fan of KFC nuggets

haha

[ThrackGorsh]

Someone threw a bucket of fried chicken at him, he tried to make the fried chicken into a real chicken (he lived in a chicken coop) and failed, so he put it on his head.

[GUARDD0G2]

can anybody tell me why he wears a KFC bucket?

[pheeeel17]

no, he doesn't suck, he's just nowhere near the god his fans think he is, same goes for Tool

[PCamron90]

Buckethead doesn't suck, he doesn't just mindless shred, he's one of most greatest, creative, INSANE, guitarists in the world!

[Felgrand101]

If he had stage fright, I think he has found a very cool way to deal with it.

[philw19642002]

Just saw Bucket on Charter Demand Cable TV Music video playing some killer Guitar Licks!!

oh so know i know why he wears a mask and a bucket on him because he is afraid of the "stage" (stage fright) oh who cares hes still awesoem!!! GO BH id usaly say TH but know i say BH BH BH!
