[BoxenstienMusic]

im currently listening to this solo over Wutangs "Tearz"

[lego398]

[Nevanator7]

[buckethead114]

@Nevanator7 i think that a wolf

[minibuckethead10]

[Nevanator7]

fountains of the forgotton

[dontlaughatmyface]

@Nevanator7 hes just shy :3

[kipponi]

Is Buckethead autistic?If so then i understand why

he dont want to talk much.

[MrBrokoli99]

@kipponi he is not autistic!

[idontevenhavestuff]

lets see the dancing queen try 2 dance 2 this

[hnrgr10]

[Narut0Kur0saki]

@hnrgr10 fountains of the forgotten

[MrBrokoli99]

buckethead is insane!

[2589Anderson]

when u met buckethead, did he talk to u cuz ive never seen him talk before

[kirbyhh]

Buckethead talks in thousands of video clips...

[brozkun]

is noob

[Hertsman50]

Sounds a bit like Paul Gilbert only not as good.

[Hertsman50]

Just sounds very mechanical and not very musical. To be quite honest Buckethead sounds like shit.

[sufferingindigital]

you obviously haven't heard much buckethead , try 'soothsayer' , skip the first few minutes if you bored easily .

[meslem99]

and you smell like shit

[MrMeist]

@Hertsman50 thats what hes going for in this particular situation. he likes that mechanical dischord. in his own words it's like "a computer blowing up". so yes it is mechanical. go listen to some of his good stuff, and stop preaching ignorance.

[Holycrap27]

@Hertsman50 you sound like shit

[Hertsman50]

@Holycrap27, hey crap face you even have shit in your nick name...pmsl!!!!

[Holycrap27]

@Hertsman50 well mines is holy so don't mess with it

[REPTARisGNARLY]

No musical taste, just a mindless shredder. I hate him so much, I cant believe guys like this get popular.

[Letterbooomb]

fuck you

[REPTARisGNARLY]

@GangBoxer Hahahaha. I dont know what you have no idea about, but i was joking in my prior comment. Buckethead is my motivation man.

[hughjazz6033]

freaking sweet..........

[mattacuk]

"my god that shred was freakin sweeeet"

[PhantomimineHorse]

I love how even if you couldn't see the visual, that could only be buckethead, I've never, ever heard anyone play like that in my life except him :D. Genius.

[joe900016]

@PhantomimineHorse Listen to Yngwie Malmsteen. He's fairly similar to Bucket head but more geared towards Neo-Classical. They both got rocketsauce!

[PhantomimineHorse]

Maalmsteen has got nothing on Bucket, he's got the sheer speed but a lot less soul in my opinion. Some excellent shred though.

[JamesTraficant]

the sweep tapping is ridiculous. i think that might be one of the most skilled sweep taps ive ever known about

[FatToti]

The scream at 1:45 literally says it all, sounds like that chick literally died from that solo lol

[MrRulezor]

well ncie finger :P

jking

he's actually a fuckign pro legend im sure thres no guittarrist do hsi fast solo :P

[Timmme07]

dont know what i should say...

THIS IS JUST F´CKING AWESOME !

BUCKETHEAD !!! COME TO GERMANY ! :D

[Manolao]

but finding the right effects aren't that easy... pure practice.

[1rishShaman]

Give the majority of musicians good amps, a V, Gibson or Epiphone and a few distortion pedals, I **bet** you most couldn't recreate that.

[NickxdaxQuick]

That comment made to sense at all lol

[1rishShaman]

Well by your comment it seemed you where talking about his ability to play, so I commented that the majority of others using the same equipment he uses and they couldn't play that way.

[NickxdaxQuick]

true. i get what your saying. but what i mean is that I think he uses too many effects. Too many effects = the further away you are from the real guitar. if you get what i'm sayin

[1rishShaman]

Yea he does use quite a few effects, but they all add up to a great experience at the end of the day. In different albums though he just uses acustic or regular electric guitar with an echo and thats about it.

The Colma and Electric Tears albums spring to mind.

[0PhantomShadow0]

yeh man he uses too much fx and is all shred no f33lin cuz only gitaristz that jerk off and ejaculate on the faces of ppl up front whil plyn at 2 nps hav tru feeln nd talnt. Not, and wrong you are. He only uses effects to further express his signature tone. There's nothing ''FAKE'' about expression. The guitar only sounds unreal because Buckethead is playing it and making it sound like something impossible to play on guitar.

[IPLAYSCRABBLE]

you're right, an epiphone doesn't have enough frets to do that.

[CHINUS123]

what a freak

[stevenzane]

did he talk to you after the show?

[broodkiller]

that hand isnt from slash

[Hit4prez666]

yes it is actually it is slash's other band

[speaker3600]

Buckethead has such good flow it's incredible

[Bucketheadisgod94]

cant wait till he comes to chicago :D

[toximan2008]

You're gonna see Him at the Vic Theater too?!? I bought tickets like 2 months ago, lucky me I live in Chicago, so i really won't have to drive much anyway.

[Bucketheadisgod94]

sorry dude, i was expecting him to skip iowa and go to chicago but since hes playin in iowa city then im goin to that one

[toximan2008]

Oh well, hope you have a great time, as I will to :D

[Bucketheadisgod94]

yeah i know i will :) and so will you

[spartan177saber]

i want to go but i'm not sure i could take a day off to go see him. would be cool though

[Boxenstien]

Fantastic footage. Great angle, he puts on an amazing show.

[Bucketheadisgod94]

no...you are wrong, even their studio stuff sucks

[savagesnephew]

ok yeah that's true... lol

[Bucketheadisgod94]

yeah

[Boxenstien]

and your a douchebag.

[LanceSaunders]

I just realized, Buckethead has Holes like Eyes.

(if anyone out there will get that, I applaud them)

[FetalJuiceable]

Well then dont applaud me Haha

[LanceSaunders]

Lol. It's a like out of a Stephen King book, called Desperation. Read it, it's weird as hell but pretty interesting.

[ZaroRansolo]

anyone know anything about buckethead coming to england? (hopefully manchester)

[MrFretsonfire]

yea i want him to come here aswell

[GHWT002]

as far as i know... he stays in the US sry... saw him live last week :D

[lotusisland]

wow, you lived the dream!

i've actually seen him in pittsburgh waving a 'terrible towel' , so i think i believe you. and i'm thinking that is the coat he was wearing while lip-syncing 'shame on a nigga'. i don't mean to soun like a doubter, like i said - you lived the dream : )

thx for posting the vid and photo : )

[metallica4ev]

hey wormknuckles is BH kind of u know a screw or to loose? i always sensed that hes a bit autistic or something idk not to sound retarded...but how was he?

[LanceSaunders]

He's a normal guy, actually.

[krazydamnklown]

Aww a Steelers jacket..they beat my Cardinals last super bowl. ='(

Gotta love Big B no matter what though lol. I wish I met him, but I was fucking happy just to see him playing a couple yards away from me. Best night ever.

[Hermerk]

whats this song called?

[DilutedFaith]

It's Fountains of the Forgotten.

[CalvinHouchin]

Awsome! He Is AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESOME

[ippurr]

in that picture are those his actual eyes or apart of the mask? I cant tell.

[Daputti]

How the fuck does he make those really high songs with his guitar like at 1:37+?

[DoneWithEverything]

he uses a whammy pedal

[conor1148]

digitech whammy

[joeyjupiter77]

WHAT DID YOU SAY?WHAT DID HE SAY?

[juliametalguitarist]

dude, this is AMAGNG!!!!!!! but i wonder... is it a les paul???

[Sk4T3Z3r0]

Yeah it's a Gibson Les Paul Custom. It's bigger than normal and has a baritone neck on it + a killswitch.

[lukechesswalker]

thats not buckethead in the photo\!!... uh hello!!!!! that guy has blonde hair!!!!

[BucketbotX]

Its the masks hair godammit. Take a closer look at the eyebrows of the mask. SAME DAMN COLOUR.Jeez! This is him, I ve seen him wear this mask before, he has a TRUNK FULL OF THEM.

[sofun555]

look at the mask's chin.

BROWN HAIR :|

[paulyboy911]

it is buckethead in the photo. i know this because wormknuckles is my best friend and I was there at the show with him and was able to meet him as well. i've got a photo too

[BloodyPaperclip]

what song is this is it s song or a solo?

[umaraltaf786]

cool

[shreddingjake]

man, it pisses me off how people think they know buckethead from one random video of him soloing, and how they can accuse him of "having no feeling" based on a minute of entertainment. people are such pricks!

[hallio111]

@shreddingjake the reason why people judge him for one solo is, that normally you can do that with almost every single guitar virtuoso, or player... the people don't realise what Buckethead does with music, and what versatility really is... his musical range is something people don't expect...

[soothsayer1985]

@hallio111 well said

[xxSalxx09]

screw u realrocker buckethead is fuckin godly and wats the name of this song

[BrianGuitarShred]

Fountains of the Forgotten

[realrockerjb]

i have every single buckethead song ! this vid is awesome!! did ya get to talk to him too?

[NmbOneFan]

looks like a serial killer

[razakagee01]

i know isnt it great

[matheusmurray]

Paul Gilbert techniques

[BOER1717]

holy shi#!

[TannerCBrooks]

i wish i could afford a guitar like that. its beautiful in every way.

[Bobbajoowop]

A Les Paul?

[Guitarplayer22222]

I bet they won't let him into guitar center because their afraid he will shred all the guitar's in to peices. =)

[boxer5543]

wow i fucking love this

parts of fountains of the forgotten in it =]

the picture of him wearing zee mike myers mask, dude u must be like 6'2"

Buck is like 6'7" according to people hes played music with

and thats when he slouches

btw wat paul gilbert lick does he use in the rock in rio vid of buckethead?

its been bugging the crap outta me

[RrimGeaper726]

check out paul gilbert buckethead similarities video

[Toasted420Times]

ROFL... Yeah Buckethead is the fucking man.. love his work.

[tunabj]

great clip!

[papercuts777]

Dude. You got hosed. Brian Carrol is about 40 yrs old. He is also confident, behind that mask. These 2 things, alone, tell me that is not Buckethead you're standing beside.

That guy in the photo, if u look at his eyes and surrounding area, he ain't a day over 20 sumpthing-30 sumpin...TOPS!

This guy you're posing with has a, no confidence, look on his mug. Almost guilty.?

They put a mask on a 'stand-in' and screwed you.

I'm sure you believed it was Brian but trust me, IT AIN'T! Sorry

[papercuts777]

One afterthought. I can't find one single photo/vid where Buckethead hides all his hair, save a whisp or 3.

And a hoodie???

hahahahahahaha

[07mantle07]

i saw him without his mask on google.if that helps.

[papercuts777]

As did i. He was about 28-30 in that grainy pic. The only unmasked pic in circulation.

[07mantle07]

Actually... there alot of pics of him.look under Stephane Alaux...yep hes french.

[papercuts777]

You are right. I just checked. There are a few pics. But that only shores up my allegation that the dude in that picture is NOT Brian Carrol. Look at the eyes on that sap, hanging his head, in that pic. That ain't Buckethead!

I feel sorry that you got shafted. Waiting in the cold for 3+ hrs. I bet you did 'see' him , backstage (his hands/fingers are a dead give away) but they pulled the old switcharoo when it came time for the photo op.

[07mantle07]

no, i never seen him in concert.

[keRmisss]

Btw, the guy you saw was probably that french artist called Stephane Alaux, there's shitloads of pictures about him and no, he's not Buckethead. On the other hand there's one picture where buckethead is, it's when he was 20y old or so and it was from somekind of article.

[wormknuckles]

Congrats papercuts777, you're the first person to make it on my Idiot List.

Actually, I wasn't planning on creating an Idiot List for this video, but I couldn't help it after your brilliant barrage of comments.

You're right, they hire a stand-in to come out with the rest of the band who is the exact height, has the exact same hands and eyes as Buckethead, just to fool three people hanging out for three hours after the show. Idiot.

[papercuts777]

Your mad because u got ripped. Don't hate. It happens.

[marklepley]

he didnt get ripped, theres only one buckethead, no-one can take his place

[JoeysKelly]

i know this is gonna sound like i stupid question but here goes lol where did you actually wait to meet him?

[bucketheadbigsurmoon]

BUCKETHEAD KILLS SLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! BY FAR! Whats better than a six foot plus, long haired, guitar-wielding robot, wearing a fried chicken bucket on his head, who likes to moonwalk? NOTHING! =]

[Nitroxnick]

is this from a song or just random soloing?

[snyggman]

From a song. Treeman i think, but everyone who puts out a live version of it names i fountain of the forgotten.. I dunno, I might have the wrong name.

The long solo is all improvised, not from the studio version and he changes it everytime he plays this song.

[EmoStarzs]

WTF a KFC bucket LMAO he dose awsome guitar shreds

[ColumineMiette]

you got to meet him? what's he like?

[bilbring]

Buckethead has more shredding than musical talent. 1000 notes from B.H are 5 notes by Slash.

[skatebaker75]

Whatttttt?

You're nuts kid.

[tsafanyoh]

SWEET VID!!! Looks like he is trying to personally hypnotise you into a nubbing trance.

[gitarmats]

G-string tuning peg is chrome...

I have no idea why, but I noticed that, haha!

[markkenworthy]

wow , awesome solo of sorts, kinda like spaceage music, gotta say hes probably the most innovative guitarist at the moment, different very different,and thats a good thing,go bucket head.

[sneff123]

woo same !!!!

[TalkingPumpkinhead]

Sweet! I was there!

[DJPsionix]

Video no longer available? LAME

It's shit like this that INCREASES a bands exposure.

[gitarmats]

Probably your internet messing with you.

Works fine for me.

Great video, anyways!

[Karoleer]

awesome,but in mine taste that song had bit too much effect in it.

[Ultimos11]

That's fuckin' awesome.

I've met him before, and he was wearing the same mask in the picture in the description.

We also got to chill and watch TCSM.

Fuggin' sweet.

He's a cool dude 2.

Badass guitarist, and he plays with so much soul.

Rock on, Buckethead, rock on.

[fawnhicks]

bucket head is one of the best musicians alive!!!!!

[duckoes]

80's video game licks. love it

[METROIDKILLERX]

Correction: 80's video game licks on crack.

[duckoes]

1m02sec - 1m12sec vid game licks

[everlight389]

Where he comes up with some of those wierd ass sounds I don't know... the sweep tapping is just ridiculous.

[SupremoHumberto]

his sweep tapping is so ridiculous, i mean 4 finger tapping is ridiculous and he takes it to a whole different level.

[jbreeal]

thats so slash

[AlbanianBarbie143]

IM A HUGEEEEE BUCKETHEAD FAN, HE IS FREAKING AWESOME....

[snyggman]

you're an idiot and talking out of your ass.

[pumbakung]

an what your not?...

[snyggman]

What was  that?

[maamaano1]

ur smart

[curleyburleyjoe]

hes a brilliant guitarist, but does he have to wear that stupid fuckin bucket?

[NEmooseGOALIE34]

thats wut makes him unique from every guitarist ever

[EpicArt]

Wouldn't it be ridiculous to call him Buckethead if he wasn't wearing a bucket?

It's part of who he is.

[maury241]

that girl screaming at the end must have really that solo

[radabminj]

really what that solo?

[ginamaha]

what do u think :P

[dergaderga3]

must have really what that solo???

[SOCOM018]

his resemblence to paul (playing wise) is uncanny!

im not suggesting anything by the way

[Samoriah]

HE IS PAUL.

[coolgrn]

buckethead is like a masked superhero of the 21st century.

[flosscal]

holy shiiit!!!!!

[Raethar]

hell yes buckethead likes the steelers :D steelers ftw

[cheeseburga]

Buckethead is fucking awesome! The guy plays like 18 instruments and can do any genre! That's talent!

[outhouse124]

i don't like it much when he shreads but i can't deny that he has talent!

[Mstrat86]

1:00-1:10 I blacked out. dont pay attention to people who shit on styles of music they dont appreciate who are they to say whats right and wrong, i dont even like shredding but to deny this guys talent is stupes

[3than678]

[3than678]
