[BigBuckethead1]

He can easily kill you at 0:14

[Skullit2theMax]

i Like it when He Kiks The Head off The Amp

[REPTARisGNARLY]

is this an actual song by him or just some improv?

[BeanyBoy55]

@REPTARisGNARLY Most of it is based around the song, Stun Operator, but this sounds much different than the studio version.

[Deathinflicter]

"comunity that envolves many nacionalities and eventualy, lenguages."

[giggityguitarist]

The dude's an awesome showman for a masked guy. Modern super hero.

[p4ulg1lb3rt]

Buckethead rocks lol

[HarpyTV]

lol nun chucks and guitar at the same time

[Guitareben]

I HAVE TO SEE BUCKETHEAD LIVE!!!!!!!

[outhouse124]

that picture at 0:26 must have been amazing!

[CRISTHELMETAL]

este tio es el amo xD

[GoncasDargent]

Wtf? Can't you speak english?

[Boxenstien]

racist fuck

[GoncasDargent]

What's your problem?! You can't speak neither? Shut up. This is a damned comunity that envolves many nacionalities and eventualy, lenguages. I'm Portuguese and I can speak english (or try) so, here, if you can't speak for everyone, shut up. If you think this is racist, so think in another way. If you think like he's saying something bad.... -.-''

[mlgudead]

you think wtf is in Webster, correct grammar of your sentence is Are you unable to speak English? English is a language buddy its supposed to be upper case, and starting a sentence question statement etc. with apostrophe's is frowned upon in the English language, but i dont think there are grammar police so you can speak in what ever way you want as long as you get your point across, ever heard someone speak grammatically correct all the time, annoying as fuck, racists are a waste of space

[GoncasDargent]

didn't understand a thing of what you said, maybe because i don't care. but... why the f are you commenting stuff from about half an year ago?

[mlgudead]

why are you commenting on something that you dont care about

[GoncasDargent]

Shut up and enjoy the vid!

[CRex70]

Does anyone know if this is a song or is he just shreading?

Thanx,

CZ

[IslandOfLostMinds]

Stun Operator

[greyshadow99]

if jesus christ were to play the guiltar, this would be him!!!

[SmlSirius]

He is absolutely better than slash, It doesn't matter what anyone say ! He rockS !

[nickheck]

what was that at like 2:23?

[DarkLink1080]

he was def using his killswitch and a whammy pedal

[fizzbitch10710]

point being?

[gunnerboy773]

1:39-1:57

EPIC!

:)

[atreyu749]

best guitarist ever better than vanhalen and slash easy

[maccrazyg5]

@atreyu749 Edward Van Halen has some of the best compositional skills you will ever hear. Depends on what you like. Don't ask for an argument by comparing artists.

[Fran616]

if i was in front wen he pretended to throw da guitar, i would hav gotten freaked out lol

[toximan2008]

1:40-2:00, so that's how he played slunk parade, and his skill is just...indescribable. Also considering he's a robot, robots live forever....

[AnimeGuitarDude16]

u see he can reach his fingers farther than any of the guys from dragonforce without even having to do over the neck

[AnimeGuitarDude16]

crazy with the pedal :D bad ass! i love this guy so amazing. Buckethead4Life!!

[JimMcfaddin]

awesome vid

the picture taken at 0:25 must be so sweet.

[allyshank]

dude i wanna see that picture hahaha

[PhunkyCat]

seriously, this video is EPIC!!

I LOVE U BIG B!

[Kelavmeister]

WOW that scared me. when he almost hit me.. with his guitar neck.

[AnimeGuitarDude16]

lol

[Trivium1994]

At the start when he kinda throws his guitar against camera i got pretty scared:S

[jsmith5052]

i like how buckethead's always hella kool 2 dude w/ camera.. he always gives them awesome shots..

[PhunkyCat]

this video is super gnarly and buckethead is god...i love when he kicks the head its hilarious :)

[manismostlywater]

video is fucking gnarly... awesome footage thisheartscoma

[mgretche]

the song is called "stun operator" from monsters and robots,and the effect to make his guitar scream is a Digitech Whammy octave pedal

[Cyberbob182]

une pédale oua oua nn?

[Askekake]

what pedal he uses at 1:40?????????

[word9995]

digitech whammy

[jump4h]

I want one.

and a delay pedal...

I actually have pretty much no pedals...

A Wah pedal and a Boss Super Overdrive (neither of which technically belong to me)

[Askekake]

what efects he uses?

[realdoogie]

july 28th..i will see buckethead...and it will be the greatest day of my entire life

[CangryKid]

how was the show

[realdoogie]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!..when buckethead started handing out toys..the crowd squished me up to the rail......buckethead was shredding his ass off right in front of my face. i was so close to him, i could see the sweat bead up and drip off of his mask

[xSHADOWxCHILDx]

i envy you.

[realdoogie]

dude....seriously amazing....ill always remember it like it was yesterday

[xSHADOWxCHILDx]

i wanna go see buckethead live now.

[realdoogie]

do it whenever you get the chance...it's well worth the amount of the ticket (no matter what it is)

[xSHADOWxCHILDx]

i wouldn't doubt it. I'm definitely going when i get the chance

[boworl]

In your face! He just goes flying. What is the name of this?

[bucketheadbinger]

I love it.

[frackle123]

Ok, I think he swung his guitar that way to give the vibe of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" when leatherface is flailing with the chainsaw, that is what it looks like to me.

I don't think Buckethead cares about bootlegging and then he stood there soloing right in the cameras sweet spot.

Buckethead is just cool.

[BHownsall]

I agree, I really doubt he cares at all that people are recording him. That looks like the kind of stage move he used to use in the old days. He was a lot more...active and crazy then.

[emobastard85]

he was standing right there because that's where his pedalboard was

it ahd nothing to do with the cameramans sweet spot

the camera man was just lucky enough to be where he was

[Asradi]

4:23

epic pose

[Asradi]

Buckethead h8 stage >:D

[StratMan215]

Very cool! Buckethead rocks

[kkkisgay75]

1:39 - 3:32 = BAD ACID TRIP

[Sapher]

1:39-3:32 = Best Acid trip EVAR

[cyrrusdavirus2]

He's angry at the guy with the cam. BTW, BB is one my favorite guitarist.

[11Buckethead11]

why do you think so??

[cyrrusdavirus2]

I don't know, I wrote that 2 months ago. But he did those wide movements toward the guy with the cam. I wouldn't be surprised since he's very shy, that's why he decided to wear the bucket. Long live the King, and long live his crown.

[fuzzyshan]

mebe he doesnt like bootlegs made of his concerts.

[baldassaredegenes]

i dont think so, he even could make bootlegs of his own concerts =)

[fuzzyshan]

hmm if he hit the guy in the face with his nuchucks it would be clear.

[fuzzyshan]

still i cant help but admire the way guy with the cam didnt even flinch when buckethead waved his guitar at him

[violentmidget]

I more assumed he was just swinging it at the guy with the camera to give him a few badass shots of having Buckethead swing his guitar at him, lol.

[Dracanic]

the song is called Stun Operator?? what album is it on?

[DilutedFaith]

Monsters and Robots.

[SkaterFTF]

This video needs a disclaimer. Your brain may explode. Or implode. Or turn into a bucket.

[Unicorngirl]

Oh Christ I love it!

[godlymoose]

In case no one has spotted it out yet, but when he starts playing with one hand, and using the other for the nunchaku. His fretting hand is freakin' massive looking.

[kkkisgay75]

thats his trademark dumbass

[godlymoose]

What the fuck are you talking about, I said his hand looks big dip shit.

[iamcodya]

I could do that with my cock

[JackylLantern]

Pretty hard to play something with a stub.

[grenamuhnades]

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH

[padrescout]

only if you had a miniature guitar! :D

[step1970]

BucketHead = pure talent

[bnetkillzone]

its great

[lestatspawnofmagnus]

NO THAT IS not all pinch harmonics(I wouldn't put it past him though)He's using a digitech Whammy octavizer

[bill72fool]

I thought this song was called Ameoba. It's also on his 13th year, dvd. But I have to say that THE best version of this song is on his Binge 7 video. It's a MUST SEE!!

[maromaro1337]

This is Stun Operator but the live version, it's different then the original from Monster and Robots

[Fuzzboy7]

I've seen a few Buckethead vids and I must be goin crazy but is he using a stretchy guitar strap?

[VonFrenchie]

That is most definately a guitar strap made with elastics. You can tell in the beginning when he pulls the guitar up and swings it back down. On the descent its considerably farther from his body than when he usually plays it.

[fryBASS]

man did he just cut loose or what!

[loveformetal1]

buckethead rocks to hard

[LurkingMonkey]

Dammit, I just realised that this is another Buckethead-ed take on the "Halloween" theme.

Ain't I perceptive?

[godlymoose]

No it isn't. it's the song, "Stun Operator".

[Hadley4000]

I was at that show. Kickass video.

[geck0788]

you do that pinch harmonic thing by lighting touching the strings witth your palm.. etc..

takes alot of control and mid. gain

[dylanvthg]

actually its your thumb as you pick you lean into it

[hopalongdude]

yeah, he's using a whammy pedal

[ststarthebeatbox]

its a whammy pedal

[burninator22]

idc what u guys think buckethead pwns

[zzserv]

yeah.

[sockpuppets]

its called an octave generator...changes the pitch durastically

[prasiddha]

YEAH! GO BUCKETHEAD!!!! KICK ASS!

[LikuX]

Buckethead looked straight into the camera and it was a tad creepy, awesome! I wish I was holding it.

[shroomali1521]

what time?

[LurkingMonkey]

I'm sure somebody's already asked this, but which song is this? It sounds vaguely like Night of the Slunk... but I don't think it is...

[SL1PK0TM5GG0T]

man y u dissin it if u wasted ur time watchin it. fucking retards

[Nannada12]

OMG 1:40 HEAD ASPLODE!!! Buckethead... rocks...

[zzserv]

yeah, what's that trick called? Ultra-high-ear-splitting-pinch harmonics? Looks like fun haha

[Nannada12]

uhh, i think it's a whammy pedal... but i dunno ^^

[zjiyre]

nah, he's done it with one hand and no pedals... oh well, it's bucket's secret, I suppose.

[SL1PK0TM5GG0T]

its a tweak in the inside of his guitar. its something with twisted wiring and stuff

[Doodle92]

"nah, he's done it with one hand and no pedals... oh well, it's bucket's secret, I suppose."

No, it's a whammy pedal. You can't do such high pitched runs without using a pedal.

[VenomSteel]

I pray for the day when those jap wepons swing up out of controll and knock that retarded buckethead of his shoulders.

[Lacolith]

Fuck off you racist dick.

[ilnol]

drive, sustain, either or both

[leeks3]

GNR is dead, and he isnt EVH. get over it or let your tastes expand.

[Ellektrikaa]

Expand em.

[poplar310]

buckethead rawks

[MyRoseLoveBlues]

Pure raw emotion.

[MyRoseLoveBlues]

I love you Buckethead..

[girlincarwithgnr]

Im still waiting for him to get "angry"

[Lacolith]

15 seconds in....when he violently swings his guitar?

[ShiftStyle]

Ive seen him 3 times this year and each time he did this part where he swung his guitar i cheered so loud and people were like "uhhh that was scary" and people backed off. oh and for the haters, youre jealousely close minded.

[knifinwar]

man at like 2:50, it inspired me to play guitar so much... i mean listen to that awesome tapping, any more... and i would have died... That was the greatest fking shitty tapping ive ever heard, my grandma comes up with better dam sounds outta her old mouth when she hums...

[biondokorn]

I'd like to see you play that jackass

[j0ndaily]

great video, theres nothing like seeing Big B live!

[Charger426]

CoooooooooooooooooooL!

[bloodemurder]

Just check out those crazy lead squeals at 2:17 or so! I freaking love Mr. Bucket!!

[JohnaldChaffinch]

you'll have to deal with other people having different opinions if you wanna get by in this world. just rest assured that if you like buckethead you've got good taste :)

[gabeanation]

don't say he sucks unless you hear his other stuff.

[ToniMontanaa]

wow you have bad taste...

[gunnerslash]

this is shit, I like buckethead but this is crappy

[qwrqrwwrq]

Oh, and it isn't the first whammy, and it's not thae last.(4) I have a video where it shows him using it, its the whammy with the two patch buttons on it, might be whammy 2 or 3.

[pis3rch]

what song is this, or what is it from?

[qwrqrwwrq]

Stun operator.

[WForWilldetta]

yeah those pedals are alot but its most definantley a digitech whammy pedal....i want one lol

[CliffEmAll85]

just sounds like a bunch of crap.

[PIlotrcm]

its a pitch shiffter pedal, the late Dime made it popular

[larr27]

it cant be a whammy pedal

[Horus91366]

Don't confuse whammy pedal with wah wah pedal. whammy pedals actually shift the pitch of the note played, while wah pedals use more of an exagerated eq shift. Like using a tone knob that goes really far in both directions.

[kristoffer1989]

it is a wammy pedal a digitech wammy i think...

[pis3rch]

please, someone, answer me! im begging you!

[kidzid]

im not sure maybe a pitch shifter

[larr27]

does anyone know what the whizzing high pitched effect that he uses is called? im thinking its some form of an envelope, but i dont know

[Yogster]

its called digitech whammy pedal, i think he uses the 1st issue model not the whammy2, they are arounf $400 bucks er so.

[COandCA33]

seems to much for a whammy pedal

[phunkyphred]

wow...never saw him act like that on stage. O_o.

[cosmusical]

fuckin insanity

[pis3rch]

can anyone tell me where to find a tab for the part where he swings the guitar at the crowd? thanks.

[SignalofdeatH]

-Buckethead: From Buckethead to R2-D2 can you hear me?...

-R2-D2: #$½£#/%'(=)'?_**

-Buckethead : %+&/$½>#/()*\!'£#~,/(½½{//[\>

-R2-D2: uhh! ohh! fuck! .( that guy rocks.

[MarcBolan3]

does he still use the rocket roll II?

i havnt seen him use that since Praxis.....

[Noruego]

this guy intreagues me, his really original, and he actually plays really good, not just fast but he can do some wicked ass arpeggios, oh and he scratches the wall before doing 4 fingered tappings, hes mental!!!

[Shayu]

He's not mental, he's just got a different personality.

[zjiyre]

A really cool personality.

[fujiyoshi]

i mean *his

[fujiyoshi]

i think the white one is called a KFV

i meant that to the White flying V

he's distortion is lovely!

[yomama808]

He doesnt use the same guitar, its actually one whole show cut in to three sections , the guitars I know he has are the on in this vid. , the flying V/rocket roll series and a custom whte version of the flying V

[metalmr]

HE ALWAYS USES THE SAME GUITAR, ITS A MAGICAL GUITAR.

[fatflaver]

buckethead is a cyborg

[wattage01]

i take that back at the beginning its all hammer-ons

[Megadeth88]

The strap is a called No.1 it's made in Germany. I'm getting one ASAP :D

[SynRules]

do they have a website where or where can i get it, im looking for a new strap

[lintingint]

its a strap that came out a long time ago i dont think they make it anymore

[dimesatch]

i think it would be good coz u can have u guitar low for rhythm and look cool but then u can quickly raise it for shred solos and then back down again with no adjustments!

[utteroffilth]

hows he hold a note so long!?!

[wattage01]

bending plus if you listen closely you can hear some hammer-ons

[mblavis77]

i didnt see the anger part of it

[stonebraker]

in the very beginning

but he also does that

when he swings his guitar at the crowd

[watergrass]

what the fuck!!!???????????

[dimesatch]

does ne1 no where i can find info bout his strechy strap, i want one

[sagetomita]

he uses no.1 stuff, but DiMarzio makes elastic straps 2
