I saw Buckethead play with Primus in 97. Other than that, he was in a group called Praxis with Bootsy Collins and Brain on Drums. He is also featured in the DJ QBert video WaveTwisters as long time friend of QBert named DJ DISK was also in Praxis.
@CIAmrx Sure, knew that. I was wondering if Les actually ever played for Praxis. Who knows, but yeah they played together a lot. Besides, they had the same drummer for a number of years. It would be almost surprising to me if they never actually formed a band together, although so far I haven't come across one...
@paddie3535 Please do buddy, Youtube is so full of negativity and people who need an education. Enjoy some Buckets, and while you are at it try some Freak Kitchen, Paul Gilbert, Shawn Lane, Blotted Science and Guthrie Govan while your searching. Enjoy dude.
Songs to check out if your new: Final wars Night of the slunk welcome to bucketheadland big sur moon For mom soothsayer revenge of the double man computer master soothsayer of course bucketheads toystore any c2b3 any praxis any thanatopsis anything from electric tears and then continue your journey on finding your own songs you love from his other 40+ albums... Welcome!
@Pakanahymni listen to the acoustic shards album, that has lots of gems in there, and also check out his other music he has like 5 million songs you will definitely find something different
I've listened to Buckethead's music for over five years now. I meant that his music rarely has complex theory implemented in it. His music is good for what it is but he could do so much more.
@paddie3535 haha, yeah he sure can play. i suggest you listen to Soothsayer, probably one of his best/most well known songs. also listen to the other ones i have by him on my channel, they are also very good.
@paddie3535 haha youre like me about 3 years ago... it's beautiful to find buckethead...I couldn't believe my ears back then.... and theres waaay more, believe me.
Yeah before I taught the same: Some of his songs suck, it just effects and weird noises!! But now I love to listen to those songs because they are parts of Buckethead’s world, we can learn a lot more about him!!!
I have to agree that the mask and the bucket probably helped a lot to get new people to know him, but I disagree with people who say his songs are lame!! One thing you understand thru the years is that you can't instantly love and appreciate the art of everybody. Just take the example of Vincent Van gogh, when he was alive his paintings were considered like crap, but today.. some of his work worth millions!!
buckethead is one of the most unique musicians in history, padmasana, soothesayer, and all of the album colma are amazing songs. also i have never been to a show where a musician played music that was reminiscent of metal. blues, funk, and fuckin rave. with that being said buckethead should always be remembered as one of the greats
Buckethead is a great writer, performer, and most of all, player. He wears the bucket because he wants you to focus on his art not on his image or personality, something that many artist try to substiture for talent. And it's genius cause his mask will never "age."
lame? just take the songs you do like and that total number will be staggering. I don't listen to every song he puts out because some are weird but putting a bucket on his head is not the reason he is awesome. If lady gaga couldn't sing she would be famous just for her voice just like BH.
With all due respect, I think some of buckethead's music is... well, lame. He's a fuckin gnarly guitar player, but his songwriting chops aren't so hot. So I mean, its pretty reasonable to think he started wearing the bucket and mask so that people would actually pay attention to him. It's ridiculous to think that Buckethead would be as well known as he is today if he was just some leftover guitar monster from the 80's named Brian. Not trying to hate but it is what is it.
@CIAmrx The guys got such a wide range of musical vibes, there no pidgeon holing him into a specific style. That being said, I own alot of his stuff. I've heard other tracks I didn't really connect with, but I think he's got good writing skills, I think he's just something of an acquired taste though. For me it works, enough so that I'm going to see him at the Fox Theatre in two weeks. Check put the Crossroads footage from 9/2009. Should be a lot of fun
@davidplus5 Yeah, he's still doing solo performances. I wish he was playing with a full band, but it was awesome to see him nonetheless. I'm searching for the full setlist from the show, but I can't find it. He played a lot of his usual songs, i.e. Soothsayer, Jordan, Night of the Slunk, Siege Engine, Gory Head Stump, and some others.
@CIAmrx couldnt agree more, his fingers are very quick and developed, but when it comes to him soloing i dont think he really gets what to do so he just out does more than what he should do
@CIAmrx Dude!!! I knew I would be blown a way but, this was freakin' unreal. I has totally hoping it would be a solo set, and it was. He did an extended solo on soothsayer, next to last song of the set, and just killed it. Want's you sucked into the what he's all about, and then u see him live....well lets just say all 10 of us there are still awe struck. Absolutely amazing performer IMO!
@MyspAIDS I have to disagree with you absolutely. When I started listening to Buckethead, I doesn't knew that he had a fucking bucket in his head and I thought that he was a fucking God equally
@MyspAIDS BH's songwriting skills are amazing, of course there are many songs you don't like but only because he write MANY MANY songs!! Even without his bucket he had written all these songs, and only because he is a guitarist with a cool entertainment idea, you should not say that people would not pay attention to him without it. His technique skill is one of the best ever believe it or not, wearing a bucket on the head is not the reason why so many listen his songs! sry for my engl
@snakev10v5 I listened to it, and it is a good song. But while we're suggesting music, check out Ted Greene playing Send In The Clowns for some truly beautiful guitar playing. And if you're into minimalistic, ambient stuff like Electric Tears, I also suggest you check out Brian Eno.
I should die because of my music taste? That's funny, especially considering I enjoy listening to buckethead. You really need to grow up if you can't handle people criticizing the creations of others. And FYI, criticism is what enables us to grow as artists. Look at Justin bieber. Do you think he's critical of his own music? No, he gets told that his shit shimmers like gold and so he just keeps on shitting. I would bet that I'm far less critical of bucketheads music than buckethead is.
@MyspAIDS Yup criticism helps us become better by hearing someone elses do-better and trying to get that do-better to impress them, people like bieber who think they are great are so close minded to what they could be.
@MyspAIDS While mostly true, I have to totally disagree in that Bucketheads songwriting skills are unfathomable, Just his inspiration is not completely of our own. As shawn lane said his sound inspiration comes from other instruments so the sounds he hears are not guitar orientated. And I believe the same of Buckethead, and No, It is what you put it out to be.
@slytherern And I put that comment out there with no hate. I've been listening to buckethead for a long time, and again, he's a phenomenal guitar player. Trust me, its not that i can't appreciate complex or experimental music; on the contrary, its my favorite type of music. But buckethead songs never go anywhere unexpected; he might do something goofy, he might do something random, but on the whole he's predictable and doesn't really have that "take your breath away" factor. For me at least.
@QBall14s With all due respect, no, Buckethead sees the world how buckethead sees the world, you see it as you see it, and I see it how I see it. Every perspective is unique, but I assure you mine is in no way delusional, idealistic, or sheltered, nor does it interfere with my ability to appreciate good music.
@MyspAIDS ....well.....thats ok.....its your opion.....but u know what??....i dont care if he is remembered.....I wont be here..either....so....wtf........I just enjoy his music today.......maybe u got a point...there....I dont like ALLL his music.....all of his songs.....but.....I dont love.....all chopin's pieces either.....or any artist....composer....or whatever......so.....thats my opinion.....with all due respect......
@MyspAIDS You're mixing up entertainment with musicianship... as a lot of people seem to do. Buckethead as an entertainer would probably most definitely be more interesting and entertaining than just Brian as an entertainer. But Buckethead as a musician as compared to just Brian as a musician, would have almost no difference. If anything, his music would be more popular WITHOUT the bucket. Most people see the bucket and mask and they're automatically driven away because its "weird".
@MyspAIDS He has over a thousand songs not all of them are going to sound the same you obviously don't understand that music can be made of any types of sounds and he wears and bucket and mask not so people will pay attention to him idiot think about it how much more famous he would be and known if Brian Carroll took it all off, it wouldn't be the same. Whatever you think of it is as "weird" you don't have to like it or enjoy it but at least some people do "Not tying to hate".
@MyspAIDS you could say that about alotta people with "style/character/swag" or whatever u wanna call it.
what would bruce lee be without his nose wiping and screaming?
what would elvis presley be without his dancing?
what would slash be without his style?
maybe u are just shallow. i love bucketheds music so much that it made me play the guitar. his kabuki mask and love for martial arts give him a sympathy bonus.
whoever listens to music because of looks has a serious problem...
@MyspAIDS mmm youre right theres a lot of really boring tracks...in the first albums..but a lot of many cool tracks and just monster soloing...hes a guitar beast..so he can wear whatever the fuck he wants...i dont care about his mask personally..btw i saw hes early pics without mask and hes ugly .. well i still was listened to some of his stuff if he was a "leftover guitar monster from the 80's named brian"
I don't think he started the buckethead persona to hide anything or any other hidden motive. I think he just does it cause he thinks its cool. He had been doing it before he had a big following. Then again maybe it was just for shits and giggles then he kept it so he wouldn't be in the spot light...who knows.
people who do not know about Buckethead who listen to him for the first time and guess who it is their listening to have named some of the top Guitarist in the world , usually when I tell them it's Buckethead they all say the same thing , damn he's good !!!
@SupernalOne Eh, I'm not too keen on the reasons why Brian Carroll (Buckethead's actual name) decided to start the whole Buckethead persona. Google it to find out. Personally, I feel that he dresses up and hides his face, etc so people will focus on his music and nothing else, i.e. nobody knows what he really looks like, he doesnt want to be a rock "celebrity" in the spotlight, etc.
@SupernalOne He went right out after seeing it and bought a Michael Myers-like white mask. Then, that night, as he was eating from a bucketful of take-out fried chicken, another inspiration struck. He described it in a 1996 interview with Guitar Player magazine: "I was eating it, and I put the mask on and then the bucket on my head. I went to the mirror. I just said, 'Buckethead That's Buckethead right there.' It was just one of those things. After that, I wanted to be that thing all the time."
this is legendary, cant get over how much im in love with buckethead, he has the power to reach deep, its a fact that bucketheads music can make a flower grow faster than light xx
@KirbyOnCronic Yeah that;s almost worse advertising than when The Never Ending Story actually DID end. I couldn't watch ending movie credits till I was 14.

@SupernalOne Eh, I'm not too keen on the reasons why Brian Carroll (Buckethead's actual name) decided to start the whole Buckethead persona. Google it to find out. Personally, I feel that he dresses up and hides his face, etc so people will focus on his music and nothing else, i.e. nobody knows what he really looks like, he doesnt want to be a rock "celebrity" in the spotlight, etc.

ah - yes, that seems to ring true, doesn't it - he's into the music for it's own sake, as you say - thanks!

@SupernalOne He went right out after seeing it and bought a Michael Myers-like white mask. Then, that night, as he was eating from a bucketful of take-out fried chicken, another inspiration struck. He described it in a 1996 interview with Guitar Player magazine: "I was eating it, and I put the mask on and then the bucket on my head. I went to the mirror. I just said, 'Buckethead That's Buckethead right there.' It was just one of those things. After that, I wanted to be that thing all the time."
