I like to rip up a fat hooter on the way and go watch him when he's in San Diego or L.A. I also rip up a fat hooter on the way home. He is awesomw...ain't he?
Yes, Mike is a genius, and kind. I remember Mike from the Fabulous Hedgehogs days, Craig Crude was my BF at the time and Mike was, and is so infinitely talented. Good wishes SilverSnout:) -J.A.
DrummerCoCa: I met Mike, extremely nice and down to earth me and my cousin got his autograph. You can tell music is his passion and he loves his fans to death.
He as sweet as he is talented and I am amazed by how personable he is .... he talked to my 15 year old twins forever. I was so impressed. ... of course I let my boys buy everything , but I like him as much as my children. He is wonderful.
Saw this dude Yesterday at Festival of the Sun - Port Macquarrie NSW Australia. Absolutely awesome live act, very funny guy. Would definately see him again.
no dudes. i saw this guy live. he has a string attached to each pipe. 2 pipes. and he has like buttons on the top and bottom of the pipes for effects. that plus double kick pedals for more effects. i love him.
not meaning its fake, meaning he has knowledge of how to effectively play said instrument and can program and loop these things to near perfection on the spot as if he were in a fucking studio. the man is a genius and is severely underrated. he deserves 3 medal-shaped cookies and 12 BJs from various women without STDs.
Saw him with Buckethead last night in Orlando at the Social. He rocked! Of course, so did Bucket. They played a longggg time, nearly 3 hours of music between them. It was the most fun I've had in quite a while!
wow. i found that 1 guy suggested to me on emusic or itunes or some other music store 2 weeks ago. dont remember which one. i am now in awe of this series of pipes and pedals and loop machines. going to see him and buckethead this weekend!
Yeah man. I saw them play here a couple years ago. I didn't know that TOG was playing, or really who he was. So I was super tripped out when I walked in and heard him playing.
Hey I was there last night and left when they started playing together because I was annoyed at the collaboration. What did you think and what happened after that???
as ^^this guy said, he built it himself. it's got one string on it and a bunch of electronic effects like cymbals and such. plus foot pedals for a cowbell and bass. yeah, its that awesome.
Hey bro I read your coment and I just want to tell you. Get ready for that shit Buckethead throws a Nuclear show man it'll blow you away. Thin he murders the audience after. Jk but it's fun to think of that during the concert muahahaha!
just saw him at the tulip festival in Albany. No one really knew what was coming but when he started playing he attracted a decent crowd and people were really into it. It definitely was something different and fun to listen to.
ironic, i saw him open for buckethead, and every person who showed up, appeared to have just because of seeing his name in guitar hero. as a result it was one of the shittier crowds ive ever been apart of in my life, and i was the ONLY person dancing like crazy to that 1 guy, if only others had joined in!!! they were all resisting the groove
the pipe resonates in sympathy with the string/hit/anything else he feels like whacking against it. the sound goes through the pipe, gets picked up by a mic at the end, then goes to a rack of processors which make the funky effects
inspector u dumbass u haven't heard Buckethead's good stuff he is way more emotional than any guitarist who has ever picked up a guitar that 1 guy is awesome to but seriously buckethead owns all.
sometimes they play together, but that 1 guy is not yet a household name like buckethead. I got to see him open for my favorite band floater back in '05
I was there on the 23rd when he opened for Bucket Head, he was dope! To see him at a venue with a nice large PA system made me feel like I was at a Rave! It thumped like no day. Awesome Show and the Magic Boot was spectacular!
Twas awesome. I was let down by Buckethead though. The 'jam' session they had at the end was depressing, buckethead couldn't come up with anything original to play along with T1G's stuff.
could have been an off night, he was in fucking P funk all stars national tour, you cant tell me he cant jam, the guy can do it all my friend, even slap bass.
dude this guy was awesome but i went to buckethead For buckethead and if ur a true guitarist buckethead doesnt get old EVER this guy was great but buckethead was absolutely amazing
Are you high? Buckethead blows goats. Drum machine he could barely come in cue on, No original licks, stupid costume and props. That one guy has talent, Buckethead sounds like a redo of every Joe Satriani or Steve Vai album ever made. Talent isn't just playing fast and loud. Good music has varying dynamic and rhythm, two things buckethead does not have. He is talented, yes, but his talent would be better served in a real band without the bucket.
I just saw Buckethead here in Spokane and That 1 Guy opened.
Buckethead was good. Overwhelmingly good. Which--to be honest with you--made it really boring. You just watched his hands the whole time. In 30 minutes, it got old.
THIS guy however (that 1 guy) was an AWESOME performer. Me thinks that that 1 guy is going to open for Buckethead someday.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
les claypool called, he wants his entire style back.
dont get me wrong, i have songs in the key of biatch, great stuff, "one" is a dank track, but hes completely rippin off the lesinator and you guys know it.
As someone who has been a big fan of Les Claypool's for well over a decade(and then some)and has got every Claypool bass line and lyric deeply etched in her brain I have to say NO he is NOT ripping Les off. He is very much his own style, sound and vibe. I feel sorry for you though, you're obviously very musically ignorant .
Les is great, but not entirely original either... no one is. Everything exists as a copy of a copy. You ever heard of Stanley Clarke or Larry Graham (just a couple of awesome people)... Les is not the end all be all of bass playing, even though I agree that he's the man! Always remember that your idols have idols and they will be different but great, typically true creativity is derived through inspiration, not by being a judgemental dick.
8 dislikes? That's 8 people who just don't get it. They never will.
