Buckethead - Beat It/Medley Jam 8/30/09 Belly Up

[racingandmusicmylife]

anyone know what brand and model that acoustic is? the fact its half the usual thickness of an acoustic might be a clue? any info appreciated

[MrBuzzialdrin]

I wish buckethead had worked with MJ!

[GangBoxer]

why would someone dislike this?!  why!?!?!?

[rdsnk82]

@Jdrcsc2 its actually an epiphone SST classic. They are strange solid body acoustic style guitars with no sound hole. Supposed to get rid of the buzz that comes from playing acoustics at high volume. He does play a takamine sometimes though.

[Jdrcsc2]

@rdsnk82 Cool, thanks. The neck of the thing looked like a Takamine, so that's why.

[Jdrcsc2]

@Jdrcsc2 Well, whaddya know? Turns out it's an Epiphone SST Classic. Cool.

[EpicVikingBattle]

I can't say I care for this. I think Buckethead is a genius, but I really wish he'd play with a band. Furthermore it just seems like he hasn't thought this through at all, he just plays the same inane ultraspeed figure up and down the neck and breaks into some half-rehearsed cover piece as and when the mood takes him. It doesn't sound good, honestly.

[eminemforlifenoshit]

@EpicVikingBattle well that your opinion mate i think otherwise though

[MrJudas07]

@EpicVikingBattle go listen to all off his albums and then say he plays at insane speed all the time. i know you will be wrong, try getting electric tears ...

[EpicVikingBattle]

@MrJudas07

I was obviously speaking about this performance and not Buckethead's entire career, so fuck off.

[Jazz0Vs0Metal]

@EpicVikingBattle He plays in bands: Praxis, Deli Creeps, Cornbugs, Cobra Strike, El Stew, Thanatopsis, Shin Terai, Science Faxtion, Frankenstein Brothers, Gorgone, Guns N' Roses ahhh and some other artists like Viggo Mortensen etc... Don't know every band. Sure he almost never plays live with others, but that's how it is.

Also if you don't like what a virtuoso is doing than simply don't watch it, it's supposed to be fast and impressing.

[EpicVikingBattle]

@Jazz0Vs0Metal

Again, obviously I was talking about this individual performance. I am well aware that Buckethead has played with bands, I just wish he'd have a backing band live.

And I wasn't saying that I find it uninteresting when he plays fast, I was saying that he could have structured it a bit. Why don't you actually read my comment next time?

[Jazz0Vs0Metal]

@EpicVikingBattle Sometimes he plays with Pinchface and Del Ray Brewer I think, and also with Praxis.

I am sorry, it was a misunderstanding, but he does it very often, do you know what I think? He doesn't care about if it sounds good or not, because 90 % of the people on these concerts are drunk or don't appreciate his Music, or don't really listen to it. If he'd play in a serious concert, where the people sit on chairs, are quiet and watch him play, than he'd do something more structured I thin

[Fleischwolf911]

lol got the same body on my acoustic

[EnemyCube]

Fucking awesome camera man! Thanks!

[Jdrcsc2]

If I heard this at a rave, it'd probably be the first rave song i DIDN'T hate to death.

[omgm0n]

I thought he was gonna play this on Gov Island. He did play w/ the backing track, but no acoustic, and no Beat It, although he did do smooth criminal and star wars.

[AlexHua93]

WTF , that wasn`t smooth criminal . that was beat it . you should really get some new ears man. no offence, but seriously.

[omgm0n]

he did NOT play beat it at governor's island. ill post the video soon of him, and he plays SMOOTH CRIMINAL.

YOU should get some new ears, and maybe learn to spell...

no offenSe taken....

[AlexHua93]

alright, i thougt you where talking about this video lol. and im not english so fuck spelling :)

[omgm0n]

ok, alright. :D

[Zoheba]

Hes freaking aweesome!!! God hes ultra slim! like me :) He should eat macdonalds everyday! ;)

[sumppi95]

Awesome Beat it! Bucket is gettin' to thin he should eat it too.

[cfl941]
