I love Vai and bucket but to me Bucket is a little more rounded. I mean he literally plays everything. When you get to this level its all about personal preference, Satch, Vai, Bucket, Gilbert, Lane, MacAlpine and so on. But Bucket is faster than all of them, except for the alt picking of Lane. Even Gilbert admitted in an interview "he is quicker than I" I'm straying off topic, sorry.
@AngelOfNight9 All these guys are far beyond anything Hendrix could ever pull off on a guitar but you have the old school guys that will never open up to the fact that there are better, Hendrix was great for his time and most of his fans bashing these true greats when mentioned either never heard of them or listened to one or two songs and miss out on how great they truly are sadly
well they're both really good guitarists but on the other hand, buckethead beats steve. cause really it all comes down to who can play the best live. Steve is good live but he pretty much just plays the studio version and he'll throw in a few extra notes here and there. Buckethead is amazing when he can play one of his songs and improv most of it, and it'll sound better than the original. i <3 bucket
I can tell and I know by playing genuinely from the "heart" myself, while letting go, accepting my own playing tendencies and flowing more with them, while keeping notes unrestricted (not solely looking for speed, theory and technique) that listening or playing Steve Vai songs is a more "spiritual" experience so to speak. His emotional intelligence is very high. Probably where most of his inspiration and creativity come from.
Steve Vai is in musical sense, what Bruce Lee was to Martial Arts.
@EyelessCatharsis Well put, though personally I would counter that Vai is a mindless wanker alot of the time. Buckethead too actually. Buckets my favorite though, he has such a wide range of stuff.
The whole truth is: "29 albums" and speed cannot give Buckethead a honorary doctorate now... As said john petrucci (@LeoKotzen92): "everyone can play fast, even a monkey."
@ShagrathXIV Well said and well-quoted-indeed, speed is more of an ahtletic feat than a musical power per se. That said, someone who can combine a significant amount of speed with meaningfully complex phrasing, feeling, great taste, and imagination is a truly great player, if not a truly great fast player.
@ShagrathXIV If you want to respond, do so with phrases or sentences, not middle school-style smirks designed to make you sound like you know something nobody else knows.
Buckethead would know how to play anything kid. He was taught by so many great musicians and your gonna sit on your borken computer chair with cheetoe stains that he has no talent and no musical knowledge? Theory isnt hard to understand dipshit. It be like saying ok lets sing are fucking ABCs cuz im a fucking jackass. Really kid? He is WAYYYYYYYYYY better than Vai.

@DeathCycleBand go search up g3 live in denver rocking in the free world satriani and vai play much better and creative than malmsteen . as alwas malmsteen just shreds up and down the neck with shredding patterns . satch and especially vai did way more like tapping sweeping usinng the tremelo etc . dont get me wrong i love malmsteen ! i love his style of playing . i think malmsteen satriani and vai are the three best i perfer vai cause i think hes a better technical player thats it :)
@VanDoodah Paul Gilbert>Buckethead. Buckethead would tell you that himself, you will even find some of Paul's licks within Bucketheads solos. Let's not forget that Paul was also his teacher
i find it realy hard to compare he two because they are so different. vai has extreme skill for writing and playing, buckethead is good at playing and shredding. by the way, why do people say slash sucks? he is realy good. i know there are better guitarists but his alot better than any of us so lets face it! any way i like his style morre than his skill!!
@phazonmangowarlord i agree too i used to be a big slash fan well i still am but now i perfer steve vai and compared to satriani andd vai slash isnt too good but i still say that slash is still a great player just cause he cant shred as cleanly as most people doesnt mean hes bad
dont get me wrong there both sick.. but bucket is a animal one of a kind plus any mans fingers would fall off trying to play his never ending long solos steve is a beast to but i my opinion bucket
Comparing Vai to Buckethead is a complete blasphemy.
I've seen Vai live and he's truly a genial composer, (don't forget that Vai composes for Orchestra!!!) i think that none modern guitarplayer can compose like him (maybe except Ralph Towner), he can be compared with the gods of the composition, like Mozart, Bebussy, Beethowen ecc.
Buckethead who?? As said john petrucci in an interwiew: everyone can play fast, even a monkey.
Sorry, I can clearly see you're you're a Buckethead's fan but Vai is better.
Just listen to the fucking distortions or effect! You compare these two here on melody and speed only... If you compare them correctly, Vai is better.
are you fucking stupid? more versatile? buckethead plays avant-garde, classical, heavy metal, the blues, experimental, and well buckethead. buckethead is FAR more versatile than steve vai. buckethead also plays the bass guitar, banjo, violin and drums. he has 42 unique albums and is still writing more original material. epic fail on your part.
lol another idiot that judges buckethead by the bucket. you know the saying don't judge a book by it's cover? i can name several reasons buckethead pwns vai. first of all he is far more versatile. he plays classical, avant-garde, shred, blues, experimental, metal, rock, and...buckethead. he has way more emotion. he made a beautiful album dedicated to his dying mother called coma. on top of that his new album shadows between the sky has melody that puts steve vai to shame. he has 29 albums too :)
@Fluffypopcicle Listen to every song from the album The Ultra Zone, then listen to For The Love of God (all Vai stuff), after hearing all that you can't possibly tell me that BH is more versatile
@minib00mpola Well if you think the Bucket is more versatile, you must not have listened to the Ultra Zone album, and if you have and you still think BH is more versatile then listen to the album Alive In An Ultra World
@alexlocurto i've listened to the whole bucket's discography and vai's too.
you know, it's only my opinion. I love what buck is playing ( so cool hard shredding, so normal rock/metal riffs and moreover so chilling out songs ).
I can't find that in vai's music, maybe because of vocals.
@minib00mpola I dont care what u think But vai is better not just in my oppinion but vai,satriani,and malmsteen were titled best . buckethead is mental he thinks his family are chickens. they peck his face off and he talkes it was a complament
@gunnerboy773 There is wierd, then there is being a freak, and then there is Buckethead. Ozzy wouldn't even give the idiot a job because he was too wierd. How wierd do you have to be to be turned away by Ozzy?
Besides Soothsayer (BH) doesn't even begin to compare with For The Love Of God (Vai), and that my friend is a fact
@Rodrython4 Thats his persona, he does that to keep people from interfering in his personal life. As a greatman once said "its about the music, not the person behind it". Or maybe he has autism as some say, either way he's cool. Better than a guy trying to seduce me with a guitar on stage with his kinky moves :P j/k
you call vai more versatile when you've listened to only the buckethead songs that have gained mainstream attention because of crazy speed and precision, buckethead has a song in every genre and over 30 albums with diverse themes. yur obviously retarded for calling a mainstream metal guitarist more versatile than an avant garde VIRTUOSO of all guitar genres, and you go on to say vai is less weird, he looks like a flamboyant ass. have a nice day
Believe me, I've hear a lot from that guy, I would never say that if I hadn't heard a lot of his music first, and BH is probably more mainstream, Soothsayer is a mainstream alternative-type chord progression under a solo, compared to Windows To The Soul, which is based on Indian music. Listen to The Ultra Zone album, you can't possibly say that's mainstream, and you also can't say BH is more versatile after that ONE album. And I will have a great day thank you very much
@alexlocurto is alot like 10 songs? u realize he has 1000s right? buck is more talented than vai. tho i have to say vai is definitely better than some of these morons people put against bucket, like MAB alexi and slash. some artists are good but buckethead is the best hand down, and after youve spent a couple months listening to his content ill consider your opinion
@ZacharyDorsen i have listened to buckethead for about a year now because my friend is obsesed with BH so he puts it on alot. ive heard great songs like padasmana and soothsayer etc but still vai is a Virtuoso and he is more creative using all his resources on the guitar like whammy and tapping. BH is mostly effects and repeats the same soloing pattern in half his songs . when he plays jordan live he mostly skips the solo but when he doesnt skip the solo it sounds sloppy.
@ZacharyDorsen theyre both amazing . buckethead repeats the same soloing pattern in every song although the shredding isnt important. but still BH isnt better than vai and vai has every song unique
and creative he uses all his surroundings on his guitar into his songs he can add the finest shredding into a rock ballad and make it sound good. vai is better but in my oppinion.
one of the few times im not saying 'buckethead all they way he ios in a completely different league to...' because vai is actually extremely good. I still vote buckethead, but this may well be his closest rival
I agree that Buckethead is a more adept guitarist... but he is of a younger generation of musicians than Vai.. so he is standing on the shoulders of Vai in a sense.
How about Clapton vs Beck..............................I think Jeff is light years ahead of Clapton but,This match up would light up your channel like a Christmas tree
what the fuck are you talkin bout, joe satriani was vai's teacher, Bucketheads teacher was paul gilbert and pebber brown. if there wouldnt be pebber brown, then there wouldnt be buckethead. he showed him every scale and theory thing and helped him writing songs at the colma album.
and pebber said himself that steve vais technique is sloppy, and bh culd easily play steve vais stuff but steve vai couldnt play bh's stuff because he dont play good scales.and steve vai would agree that bh is better
Learn to speak English you fuckng prick, Actually I do play guitar so dont talk shit and dont waste my time. I already KNOW Steve Vai is technically much better, and I don't give a fuck what some Austrian 3rd world fucking banana boat driver thinks so fuck off.
@standaway1 hahaah you whoreson austria has one of the best waters of the whole world and im not good in english, and whats the point about dissing other countries?
i can also say much things of the fattest country of the world
yur mom is probably endorser for mcdonalds. and thats the point, you just say "steve vay is technically better"
fuckin fanboy, your probabbly one of those guys like "who do you think is better? steve vai or a... "Steve vai is better !"
@standaway1 ok lets meet us, i can do jeet june doo , and have 2 guns at home and i also have 5000 friends who all works for mafia you know? hahahahaha
@bergAgreb Bh doesn't put any soul or emotion in his music. Playing fast doesn't mean that you're a good player. Listen to Vai's work, He's a musical genius. Bh only plays fast. Have you heard the song 'For the Love of God'? What about 'Boston Rain Melody'? Those are perhaps the saddest and most emotionally thought out pieces of music to ever be in a rock album.
@Eatenbyazack5150 Yes that your opinion, and Colma isnt bucketheads only beautiful album, Electric tears is beautiful too, and im still prefering Bh over Vai any time, because buckethead is much different,
Steve vai has emotionally songs only
Buckethead has emotionally songs, metal songs, extreme shred songs, atmospheric songs etc.
@bergAgreb Very true, and I shall thank you for not trying to pick a fight with me over this. And I do agree that Bh has more styles than Vai. But Vai does play Rock, Ballad, some Metal (Ex Bad Horsie), and a little blues. I see it this way, Bh is an amazing Guitarist, and Vai is too. I see Vai as a better composer, I mean, he DID write full orchestra parts for some of his more Technical songs.
@bergAgreb Why must you pick fights? Vai Composes for Orchestras. THAT'S why he's a musical Genius. He also has emotion in EVERY song. Not to mention he writes the parts for every instrument in his band.
who is bergagreb?? ....he is the man most stupid that I hear...his coment is like of an idiot that thinks that bucketshit rules..jajaja so idiot..the most inteligent comment is of blorp123, he obviously knows of music....jaja buckethead vs vai!jajajajajajajaja buckethead and herman li are the piece of shit in compare with the most talented guitarrist on the history...VAI is not of the Earth..his an alien or something like that..He has the best an perfect sound on guitar in the world....STEVE v

you call vai more versatile when you've listened to only the buckethead songs that have gained mainstream attention because of crazy speed and precision, buckethead has a song in every genre and over 30 albums with diverse themes. yur obviously retarded for calling a mainstream metal guitarist more versatile than an avant garde VIRTUOSO of all guitar genres, and you go on to say vai is less weird, he looks like a flamboyant ass. have a nice day

Believe me, I've hear a lot from that guy, I would never say that if I hadn't heard a lot of his music first, and BH is probably more mainstream, Soothsayer is a mainstream alternative-type chord progression under a solo, compared to Windows To The Soul, which is based on Indian music. Listen to The Ultra Zone album, you can't possibly say that's mainstream, and you also can't say BH is more versatile after that ONE album. And I will have a great day thank you very much

@alexlocurto is alot like 10 songs? u realize he has 1000s right? buck is more talented than vai. tho i have to say vai is definitely better than some of these morons people put against bucket, like MAB alexi and slash. some artists are good but buckethead is the best hand down, and after youve spent a couple months listening to his content ill consider your opinion
ZacharyDorsen 1 year ago
@ZacharyDorsen i have listened to buckethead for about a year now because my friend is obsesed with BH so he puts it on alot. ive heard great songs like padasmana and soothsayer etc but still vai is a Virtuoso and he is more creative using all his resources on the guitar like whammy and tapping. BH is mostly effects and repeats the same soloing pattern in half his songs . when he plays jordan live he mostly skips the solo but when he doesnt skip the solo it sounds sloppy.
Rodrython4 1 year ago
@ZacharyDorsen theyre both amazing . buckethead repeats the same soloing pattern in every song although the shredding isnt important. but still BH isnt better than vai and vai has every song unique
and creative he uses all his surroundings on his guitar into his songs he can add the finest shredding into a rock ballad and make it sound good. vai is better but in my oppinion.

I agree that Buckethead is a more adept guitarist... but he is of a younger generation of musicians than Vai.. so he is standing on the shoulders of Vai in a sense.

Bucketheadismyidol 2 years ago
what the fuck are you talkin bout, joe satriani was vai's teacher, Bucketheads teacher was paul gilbert and pebber brown. if there wouldnt be pebber brown, then there wouldnt be buckethead. he showed him every scale and theory thing and helped him writing songs at the colma album.
and pebber said himself that steve vais technique is sloppy, and bh culd easily play steve vais stuff but steve vai couldnt play bh's stuff because he dont play good scales.and steve vai would agree that bh is better

@bergAgreb Bh doesn't put any soul or emotion in his music. Playing fast doesn't mean that you're a good player. Listen to Vai's work, He's a musical genius. Bh only plays fast. Have you heard the song 'For the Love of God'? What about 'Boston Rain Melody'? Those are perhaps the saddest and most emotionally thought out pieces of music to ever be in a rock album.
Eatenbyazack5150 1 year ago
@Eatenbyazack5150 Wait, correction. I just remembered the Album Coma... Nvm what I said... But I still choose Vai. Better song writer.
Eatenbyazack5150 1 year ago
@Eatenbyazack5150 Yes that your opinion, and Colma isnt bucketheads only beautiful album, Electric tears is beautiful too, and im still prefering Bh over Vai any time, because buckethead is much different,
Steve vai has emotionally songs only
Buckethead has emotionally songs, metal songs, extreme shred songs, atmospheric songs etc.
bergAgreb 1 year ago
@bergAgreb Very true, and I shall thank you for not trying to pick a fight with me over this. And I do agree that Bh has more styles than Vai. But Vai does play Rock, Ballad, some Metal (Ex Bad Horsie), and a little blues. I see it this way, Bh is an amazing Guitarist, and Vai is too. I see Vai as a better composer, I mean, he DID write full orchestra parts for some of his more Technical songs.

@Eatenbyazack5150 im sorry i was a little bit drunk when i wrote that shit haha
Yeah both are really great fuckin guitar players, i dont know that much steve vai songs but but the ones i know are fuckin badass !

@bergAgreb Why must you pick fights? Vai Composes for Orchestras. THAT'S why he's a musical Genius. He also has emotion in EVERY song. Not to mention he writes the parts for every instrument in his band.
