Buckethead - Needle In A Slunk Stack

[11Rastafari11]

We don't need crank electronic musik if we have buckedhead

[opinionatedinc]

That fuckin' CD player's skippin' again...oh, wait.

[dannyhood66]

i finally found something different to listen to without vocals feeling sorry

[420BongTokes]

A slunk is actually a stillborn calf. But owell, this song is beautiful.

[Guitareben]

Love buckethead :D . he isn't afraid to do anything!

[SO1SecretKiller3AD]

@ritzbitz00 Nah don't listen to them. A slunk is a cow that died and was brought back to life using robotic parts (possibly the same parts that Buckethead allegedly inside himself). Slunks are minions of the evil Slip Disc. Simple as that.

[lego398]

@SO1SecretKiller3AD ur too much of a fan

i bet buckethead was on crack when he made the words "slunk", "slip disc", and all of the other random words he made...

[Fluffypopcicle]

@lego398

slip disk is an actual medical term you ding dong. slunk is a real word too. a slunk is a calf born prematurely.

[Sivels]

@Fluffypopcicle so what's a slunk stack?

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Sivels

a stack of slunks of course.

[dannyhood66]

If Buckethead didn't exist it would be necessary to invent him..Not just with nunchucks but with a machete knife..That kills unnecessary guitarist? Or at least he certainly could if he really wanted to,'' And they would know not to fuck around in his presents or behind his back either..

[coolguyruben07]

thats a nice sounding..uhhhh.whatever that is.....

[slaug66]

I'm more surprised by the fact that with how awkward the music is that everything is still amazing in perfect tempo... it's like frankensuess laboratories all over again BH you musical master mind

[masterchiefownsuall]

wtf weird ass guitar for buckethead these days

[Skullit2theMax]

This Whole Song is Like one Big Long Drug Trip

[McFro95]

what the fuck is this?

[colashanacogh]

what is a slunk?

[dman19851996]

@colashanacogh I think it's a cow in a specific shape or form.

[ritzbitz00]

@dman19851996 i think a slunk is whatever the situation calls for it to be. just use your imagination ;)

[RedJx]

@ritzbitz00 apparently a slunk is an animal (normally a calf) that was born prematurely or was aborted, and is normally is a bad condition... that would explain the pile of dead cows on that picture in the video :/ lol

[basketbchamp23]

@ritzbitz00 also slunks' skin is used for tiny leather articles of clothing like purses and gloves :/

[bucketbotable]

the robot needs oil..get him oil!

[biamor1]

beware beware... buckethead is back!

[Fluffypopcicle]

this song is how babies are made.

[mattyb7206]

this is trip-hop.

[BigBuckethead1]

First i thought this album sucked, but when i lisen it more it was pretty cool

[rockerstjc]

esta cancion tiene un buen ritmo con los sonidos :D

[joelbyrne]

a fine example of avant garde, buck sure knows how to break free from the norm. he rocks

[r0rk]

whoa my fax machine went badass.. =D

[Teaglex93]

im sry i just dont really get into this album and FF, they are too different for me, i like his work with a Guitar

[iamskillxD]

@Teaglex93 this is guitar

[Teaglex93]

@iamskillxD yeah its notes from a guitar, but its mixed together into something none traditional compared to all his other works,

[Teaglex93]

@iamskillxD And its a form of xenochrony which means he uses recycled beats and riffs from his previous albums

[UnderTheBucket]

I FUCKING love this!

[sai1891]

strange song :P

[C0BHC11]

i think buckethead was playing kinda xbox ,someone recorded it , and made the record.

[TelephoneApples]

MORELIKE NES!! LOL

[xTiLkx]

I listened to the entire song.. Kinda grows on you :)

[polmtree]

wow what happened. ill just pretend this album doesnt exist

[KingGrio]

I prefer it when Buckethead plays heavy metal. This is just too strange for me =/ . Pepper's Ghost was a great album.

[himtonny]

27 awesome albums by him and now this new one,

he cant be human

[anewillss]

@himtonny he's got 29 albums ^^

[alreadytaken334]

You can get these sounds on guitar by using your pick to push the strings against pickups (that is if you're using humbuckers).

[FastrTHNu]

This is freaking awesome!

[ChaDMcBaDD]

what the fuck am i listening to

[redoctane0421]

You're listening to Buckethead, my confused friend.

[lego398]

@redoctane0421 hes everyones friend.

[BigBuckethead1]

@lego398 No not Lady gaga and 50 cent they suck

[Guitareben]

@ChaDMcBaDD strange buckethead btw :P

[lego398]

@ChaDMcBaDD the greatest shit evar

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@ChaDMcBaDD Probably what buckethead would call his version of dubstep.

[downwiththemaster]

@SpartanLaserCanon dubstep sucks

[Bucketheadjnr]

LOL people dont get that this is buckethead its what he does :| he has tones of albums like this hes pushing the boundries of music to a point of noise ... yeh this album might not be enjoyable like diamond in the rough electric tears or tomb of bansheebot but its different and experimental lol u dont get buckethead if u dont get albums like this and cyborg slunks gorgone and others :)

[Skaldicgoth]

This album sounds like youve put 10 autistic chickes into a single room where they make such noise

[ajfdrums447]

thats exactly how it was made. except he also had the chickens play their instrument of choice.

[Zynthrax]

That's why it's called a SLUNK stack.

[skatinsince97]

ya know i think people should respect these albums a lil more...im not sure but im thinking this has to do a lot with shawn lane...i say this cuz shawn use to edit his music to were its not playable and buckethead actually got pretty close to playn what he edited(3/4 nubs).this was prolly a lot of fun for him to make.

[IAMMIKE456]

I imagine buckethead had fun playing this

[alFeldmann]

Cool, Buckethead made my fax machine go crazy!

[dellinger1000]

box is a rich lil dork

[maskman177]

i love buckethead and everything he does but the nicest thing i can say about this album is that its not good.

[patrick11deutsch]

Why this video is 8:00 if just the first song: 'Needle in a Slunk Stack' is 4:10

Sorry foy my fuckin' english.

[manson61190]

Distilled Scalp is one really good song on here. However, a lot of this album is random.....and may take some getting used to to actually like it!

[supermatrix3]

acid datura crack heroine meth shrooms pot co2 salvia ex dmt ether adreno peyote mescaline are some crazy drugs buckethead

[RussianCivilian]

this reminds me of his work with Frank Zorn, kaleidoscope album. Totally random.

[TheWhocares233]

I agree man..I lOVE buckethead and i like some of his weirder stuff, but......This is just ....bad

[indian2345]

worst buckethead album he need more actual playing i know u guys will boo me

[Canizarezqw]

This is awesome....Just a pure genius like buckethead himself can come up with this!!!

[Largetreestump]

interesting :) this might be the first buckethead cd ive bought in years

[sykodude520]

man, awesome user name.

[angartre]

please ask him: when will he come to Hungary? :D

[Silverfan24]

ATTENTION BUCKETHEAD FANS! My Art teacher knows Travis Dickerson! He was his student! Burton Dickerson was Travis's father who was an art teacher at Central Michigan University where my art teacher grew up. He now plans to call Travis and let me interview him. Message me if you want me to ask him a question

[supermatrix3]

who the fuck is travis dickerson

[ZekyfRee]

daxyer es daniel rodriguez y es homo

[daxyer]

Zeky es homo

[gehennaspariahs]

OH cmon guys... bucketheads the perfect guitarist/musician for the new digital age of free exchange of ideas and art.... You can't stop information exchange over the internet unless someone could shut down the whole damn thing... unlikely at best... and if it could be done I'm sure a new version of integrated networks would just show up like 5 minutes later..... I bet he doesn't even care about money, he'd probably give me a cd if I told him I told him i simply couldn't afford it

[makeithurtful]

these remix songs are kinda terrible, nothing that impressive. Has alot of potential but it just turns into an unlistenable mess. oh well

[skatinsince97]

whos gunna try to make a cover of this on youtube though huh!hahaha they are changing omg to omb

[BucketDeth]

I'm ordering a few of his cd's today, I feel bad enough downloading all his shit when he is my favorite artist.

[Drumsolo169]

whoa. thats so weird, i do the same exact thing, and im buying from amazon lol.

[alryic]

bottum line guys its all about respect for Buckethead. i believe if you are a true fan, you should not upload his albums/songs.

thats why when i just started listening to him i put up a couple, now they are deleted because i came to have a bountiful ammount of RESPECT for this man. just wanted say that,

[Guitareben]

nah upload songs to spread the message about buckethead - i would never have ever bought a buckethead CD if i hadn't found out about him on youtube

[laurakayjackson]

same =]

[Boxenstien]

I understand that, but this person had about 5 songs uploaded, which only made me assume he or she would upload the rest of the album, but he or she now only has one song up.

[skatinsince97]

so boxenstien do you know buckethead personaly...or have some kinda contact.....i see you cover a lot of his songs...does he like that???its seems he would be way more pumped on you writting your own songs idk mabye im wrong..check some of my songs out please

[RobotSlaughterhouse]

Don't freak out you guys:]

Im almost positive Buck will be coming out with an amazing album this month:]

Just think Slaughterhouse on the Prairie came out Jan. of 09 then 4 months later A Real Diamond in the Rough came out, then the next month Buck came out with Forensic Follies, then 4 months later he came out with Needle in a Slunk Stack. Do you guys see a pattern?? If im right we will see another Buck album this month:]]

[DisembodiedLoaf]

I didn't notice that pattern but I've mentioned that BH has released 2 albums in one month before and people have said that the new tour songs sound halloweenish.

[RobotSlaughterhouse]

Yea i have to agree with you on that!!

Either way I think he has something planned this month:]

[SortogHvit]

wow this is interesting.. It's a lot better than Forensic Follies I think

[jump4h]

I'm liking this more than Forensic Follies. Seems more polished, yet essentially the same concept.

[bs9nonsense6]

this sounds amazing. Forensic Follies was kind of a novelty thing for me. I only listen to it when i'm in the mood for something fresh or something i havent heard in a long time. But this sounds like something i would be able to listen to on a regular basis =)

[stevensaxiom]

Is it just me, or do others discern a reptilian visage in the slunk stack? Is this a...slunk?

[anewillss]

these songs are like... too busy for me.. theres too much random stuff going on

[MasacruRo]

amazing !Q

[Clee3421]

Forensic Follies was a test album, him playing(hence follies) around with this whole remix idea. It's choppy and stitched together, and uses no original parts. He was simply testing the waters, saying "I'm gonna try this crazy shit, and document it in CD form"

Now with Needle in a Slunk Stack, he's made the pieces smoother, recorded some cool new guitar and percussion, and gave it a more "Buckethead" title, saying "This is what I was aiming for, my finished product". Follies was the blueprints.

[stevensaxiom]

I agree with your thesis, Clee3421. Throughout Bucky's discography, there are examples of this "refining of a concept":

Bermuda Triangle can be viewed as the realization of the electronica explored in Somewhere over a Slaughterhouse.

Elephant Man's Alarm Clock improves upon Inbred Mountain.

Decoding the Tombs makes a diamond of the rougher hewn Pepper's Ghost.

And now, Needle in a Slunk Stack files down the splinters of Florensic Follies' remix concept.

Big B never loses a rematch.

[FalseNomen]

That's a very good point, I hadn't thought of that before.

[ShredAstaire]

Did you just say EMAC improved on IM?

Blasphemy! LOL! IM is the perfect Buckethead album!

[anewillss]

think of it this way... he's got like 40 albums out already.. he's 40 years old... if he continues at this pace for another 20 years he'll have put out another 54285 albums =-p

[MasacruRo]

Not human ! AMAZING !

[rockerq8y010]

Wow this is really disapointing unfortunantly I orderd it but this is the second time I say to Buckethead this ALBUM SUCK !!! and the first was for Forensic Follies

[brzydkikevin]

CHAOS

[3ucketheadJuggal0]

Holy fuck, everyone just fuckin chill, and enough with the caps please, it's quite annoying.

Alright. Now, I was just as excited to hear this album as anyone else here, but finding out it's another "forensic" album, I choose to pass. If "gabdevil37" haddn't put it up, I would be out 15 bucks. And of course I respect BH as an artist and person, but i'm not going to run out and purchase some fucking album i haven't heard yet. I've heard 1 and a half songs off of this album to see if i want it.

[3ucketheadJuggal0]

Is that stealing? I don't think so. For the people who ripped the album, you should have a good explanation why you couldn't buy it.

Honestly, i don't think Bh cares much. This is something all musicians of today have to suffer through, that's probably why he's just making make shift albums and reusing stuff he's created. I like this more than Follies, but it seems to me like Buck is getting lazy, I hope the next album surprises the hell out of me like it always does.

[3ucketheadJuggal0]

(One more)

The last reason why I don't think this is wrong, is because, as an artist, you don't make your true "profit" through album sales, you make them through shows.

How do you think Buck has survived this long without his albums in most cd shops? Well, guitar hero and gnr for sure, then, royalties, and then concerts, and THENN albums sales. Unfortunately the last two arent at the top.

So. People who think this video is wrong. You're saying you searched the video and came here to argue.

[Boxenstien]

you make profit everywhere, where would the cd sales go if they don't go to Buck?

[3ucketheadJuggal0]

Who's "you", and what do you mean "if they don't go to buck"?

Just trying to understand the question lol

[Boxenstien]

You as in the artist.

If they don't go to Buck, they being the moneys.

[3ucketheadJuggal0]

alright thanks lol

Answer: i dn, Delaware, Space, Mars.

[312chicagoadam]

dude,,,,what's the big deal if I post in CAPS, or not?

What....I gotta change the way I type because it annoys YOU??? Please.

If you read,,,,I'm making the same argument you made,,,,except I went after SPECIFIC HYPOCRITES....

[3ucketheadJuggal0]

yeah yeah, i agree, I was in a foul mood after I saw the comments and started to write. Whenever I write that much, there's always something i overlook, it takes a bad bad mood to write that much (especially for me), anywho, sorry i overlooked your comments, i was too busy looking at the capped words and trying to figure out what the fuck happened with phunky and bung, and w/e so i missed the underlying message.

R.I.P. BILLY MAYS

[312chicagoadam]

I love it!...This kid is OK, in my book,,,,hey, there is NO SECRET to what happened with "phUCKY and assholedirty" ,,,,let me say what EVERYONE wants to say,,,,,THESE 2 ARE IRRELEVANT, and tried to get all high and mighty here,,,BUT they forgot about what HYPOCRITES and LAUGHINGSTOCKS they reallly are, and tried to bully our Friend, "gabdevil",,,,,,

EPIC FAIL,...

billy mays sucks cocks in hell.....or Pennsylvania,,,THAT'S where the REAL HELL is,,,,,OR...is it MINNESOTA???...Shit, I forgot.

[312chicagoadam]

I LOVE IT!!!!

FUCK YEAH,,,these people ACT like they are so righteous! LMFAO!!

LISTEN,,,wanna see something FUNNY?? LOOK AT THE FIRST 2 POSTS on THIS VID!!! OK?? "PHUNKY CAT" is a fucking STALKER, who EVERYBODY now knows about,,,and BUNGHOLE fucking RIPPED the ENTIRE ALBUM, and sent it to somebody overseas,,,BUT YET,,THEY ACT like they are "Defenders of All Things Buckethead"....A STALKER and A 14 YEAR OLD THIEF......I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[spacerumsfeld]

Dear Bucket,

If you need money, feel free to contact me and I'll send a check. No need to release every random collection of sounds you come up with and dilute the pool of great work you have made!

Commence flaming in 3,2,1....

[person2954]

yup yup

[punier]

You guys that are bitching need to realize that one song off a CD isn't going to break the bank. People are far more likely to purchase something is they can sample it first.

[stevensaxiom]

Absolutely. That is precisely why I'm here! I buy a ton of music, but I need to be discriminating, as I can't afford to purchase music I don't like.

Exposure benefits the artist. Why do you think Amazon provides music samples? Because these samples stimulate buys, of course.

Bucky doesn't need self-appointed police bullying his fanbase.

Someone PLEASE post a few more songs from the Slunk Stack so others can make informed decisions. It sounds pretty great so far!

[Boxenstien]

Um no, its stealing.

[Boxenstien]

You guys are really dumb. What if you were Buckethead. What if people were uploading your material, taking money away from you? How would you feel? Don't mark me negative, because I know that i'm right.

[Jm0oN]

i wanted to add one song because i think i got this album first out of anyone? monday around 1pm... regardless, i didn't think it would be more follies but i do like it a bit lot

[goatml]

What a little crybaby.

[goatml]

I think you should remove yourself from any buckethead fandom if you're gonna cry about something the artist already claimed wasnt important, only Dickerson making a point about that.

[JonnyYang123]

To be honest, this isnt what i expected. I thought the album would be a mix of Albino Slug, Peppers Ghost and Bermuda Triangle. But anyways, this could also be called Forensic Follies 2.

[kirbyhh]

Yeah, me too.

[ShredAstaire]

Have you not learned anything about Buckethead? DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING. We get what we are given and we will like it!

[Thrashard23]

Umm, okaaay? Why the bitching about this being illegal? Buckethead is not gonna go broke because some guy uploaded ONE song from an album. Normal artists release singles anyways, lets just take this as a single.

Plus, Buckethead doesn't give a shit about money. He's in this for the music. He probably doesn't give a flying fuck that this is here.

Plus, he's not the first one to do it. Everyone uploads shit before it comes out. Stop whining and enjoy the song.

Thanks Dude :)

[ShredAstaire]

Seriously. You KNOW that Buck doesn't care about the money huh? That's why he SELLS his cd's at TDRS....It's 15 dollars - go buy it. You don't need to sample a Buckethead cd before you buy it. As for your "Everyone is doing it" comment - are you 4?

[Thrashard23]

YES. I'm pretty sure he doesn't care about money. Or else he would have sold out already and taken his mask off to play for Ozzy. He would have made some nice cash there, believe me. But he prefers to be himself and continue doing his own thing because he loves music. NOT MONEY... And just answer this. Is one song on a random youtube channel going to make him broke? Really? Please.

And as for you asking if I'm 4, no I am not. When I said everyone is doing it, I was just pointing out a fact.

[ShredAstaire]

So you're talking about BIG money and FAME. BIG DIFFERENCE. I'm talking about money to buy groceries, pay for equipment, roadies, gas for the van, toys for YOU at shows etc etc.

You think the music just comes magically from his ass? To answer your question, no I don't think 1 song is going to hurt him too much, but this dude had 5 songs from this album posted yesterday. That would lead to comments like "Upload the rest of the album" from the people who will never pay a cent to our boy!

[anewillss]

well he odviously makes enough to support himself... and he plays what he wants to... sorry if u think he should sell out to make an extra buck

[ShredAstaire]

I'm sorry....people buying Buckethead's album is selling out to you? Sweet Jesus.

ODviously you have no idea what you are talking about. THE END.

[anewillss]

yah the beginning of the end.... selling out would be changing what he wants to sell more albums so ppl will buy them.. THE END

[ShredAstaire]

You very funny. You know what buckethead WANTS. Brilliant. Keep it up Tiger.

[Thrashard23]

Umm... so he doesn't make any money from shows, merchandise, Guitar Hero, Guns N' Roses etc.? Not even enough to buy groceries? Hahaha, that would be fucking sad. He has enough money to keep himself and his music alive, don't exaggerate... And actually, yes! I do think that the music comes magically from his ass. Where else would he get so much music from? Haha.

Let me just ask you this. If my friend buys this album, and shows it to me, is that stealing? Because that's basically what this is.

[Boxenstien]

Well, your friend could upload it which gives trolls the chance to rip it off and burn it onto a cd.

In simpler terms : STEALING.

[Thrashard23]

Umm, now you're just making up things. And assuming specific situations will happen... I could say the opposite of what you said as a possible situation as well. That doesn't mean anything.

This isn't stealing, he's just giving us a sample of what the album is like. So now I can say, "Hey, this is cool. I'm gonna go buy it now."

People around the world will always find a way to steal and distribute things illegally. Bagging on this guy just because he put up one song on YT is just not right.

[OnlyByFishStandards]

yeah be careful, box'll jump on you if you upload one song. if you get a whole album, he'll tattle to big b. trust me, personal experience.i bought this, and can't wait. it's a free country, and noone appreciates a goody.just keep it cool, and don't fake the funk, bobble.

[ShredAstaire]

This argument is going nowhere so lets end it here. Gabdevil was cool and removed all but the one song. Cheers to him! Cheers says I!
