[mikizikubure]

BUCKETHEADありがとう(´；ω；｀)

[FelixLiegrad14]

I have done covering this song on piano ! check out my channels xD

[BaulGonzalezEnBlanco]

Pedazo de canción !!!.

[Fatzkenfunker]

song with a lot of soul

[W1zzar3]

I dont understand how he does it ! Maybe it´s because I´m really bad at playing any musical instrument. Greatest guitar I´ve ever heard along with Eddie van Halen, who plays not as good but catches up with the creativity !

[rirakkuman0125]

His music has heartened many people around the world at any time.

[masterofpuppets3101]

I used my phone;s barcode scanner on the screen hoping there will be something there..lol

[19avinav91]

i can imagine a city in ruins...ppl around...helpless...saddened by death and misery...and yet slowly building the city again...and d buildings rising higher n higher...slowly...but steady...and ppl with nothing but hope and faith in their hearts......when i listen to this song.

song just give's me hope...feels so epic

[amegaara]

he is sorta like a super hero :)

[TQXPreturns]

2:40 is my favorite riff. and its so easy to play

[classicalscientist]

Very good song.

[CristoSatanico2008]

Thumbs up if u keep listen to this with the new youtube player!

[diniba50]

This man is no normal. Genius.

[Fluffypopcicle]

Look at the picture more closely. You will see med kits, people, a wheelchair, helicopters, crutches, what looks like pianos, a doctor thingamabob that lets you listen to people's hearts, and submarines.

[kitsunekid666]

@Fluffypopcicle i think the word ur looking for is stethecsope (correct me if im wrong on spelling)

[Fluffypopcicle]

@kitsunekid666

I gotcha. It's actually spelled stethoscope.

[kitsunekid666]

@Fluffypopcicle lol :D regardless the song kicks major ass

[Trippy231]

@Fluffypopcicle right in the middle you can see something that looks like the island of japan

[BansheeBot1]

@Trippy231 I think I can spot Godzilla right under it..

[clandestinepig]

Sometimes when I'm alone I pretend I'm a tornado.

[SuicideChrisFTW]

Fun Fact: the square in the middle of the cross, is actually an Android barcode scanner. 

[nowiswan]

@SuicideChrisFTW With the shape of Japan in the middle

[M47riX1]

if anyone want tabs for the cool part, just ask me, i share them for nothing :-)

[DDETHKUBEKK]

@M47riX1 Do you have tabs for whole song?

[M47riX1]

@DDETHKUBEKK i know how to play 99% of it, but not written yet, the only part that is not 100% correct is from 1:02 - 1:22, except this little part everything is totally correct

[DDETHKUBEKK]

@M47riX1 Awesome, well could you try and right it down or make a video lesson, I'm sure I could help figure out the part

[M47riX1]

@DDETHKUBEKK that would be very nice if you try to figure out that part, i tried for a while, but it takes a lot of time :/

i've only written down the cool part, i can send u the tabs if you want

maybe i'll try to write down the rest in the next time :-)

[KoldingParkour]

@M47riX1 i would like the tabs please!

[M47riX1]

@KoldingParkour one moment, i send you a pm :-)

[xRAKDOZx]

@M47riX1 think you could send me the tabs to?

[M47riX1]

@xRAKDOZx one second :-)

[Guitarisma]

I love you Buckethead! You're my Guitar Hero! You're the Easter Island Rocker from America!

[StopRunningKid]

D --> Oh 0:30 makes me jizz.

[zadid70]

having da most beautiful mind, best skill. love U all da way through.

[ghetto926]

this man got heart, even though we never hear him speak, this proves he has a heart of gold, not many musicians that have such an awesome reputation make an album completely based upon a natural disaster. God bless you buckethead, may you life be long and prosperous :)

[Guitarisma]

@ghetto926 Well said!! He speaks passionately through his music I can See you as well listen with your soul =]

[ghetto926]

@Guitarisma

Sometimes it's the only way, i find that most if not all his music has soul, has heart, or tells a story. Acoustic shards has to be my favorite though. :D

[Guitarisma]

@ghetto926 I understand that too becuase it's the first time I ever felt innercommunication. I love that this exists on our planet! Total Space Rock! @Buckethead if you read this your next tour would be cool if you were the pilot of a space ship and your stage looked like a cockpit.

[needtocrackwideopen]

Simply Amazing. How can Buckethead play so mechanically and so... beautifuly.

He plays hard rock and yet... it brings back all your emotions at once.

Buckethead has reached the summum of perfection.

[Kellsoi25]

oh my God!! i think i need to change my pants

[Mike541x]

Just had a 5.8 Earthquake here on the eastcoast. Same day that Buckethead is playing at Rams Head Live, Baltimore, MD. Weird huh?

[jumpinjoe88]

Why can people not accept that Buckethead IS the best?

[PsYcHo20500]

What the... why has it so few views?? :(

Epic song! I love buckethead! Best guitarist in the whole world!

[fastfingers0]

i like the part from 0:00 to 5:27

[Forbiddensirenz]

Holy Crap, The Cross Is An Actual Scan Type Thing! Though Its A Link To A Japanese Site... Either Way This Song Is Awesome!

[fastfingers0]

@Forbiddensirenz why the hell are all words' first letters caps? haha

[MightyBlizzard]

wow damn

[hzalien001]

Why does Buckethead only do guitar solos? Because nobody can ever sing good enough to be on the same stage as him.

[CoreThrasherGLB]

2 Dislikes? Why don't you just drop an atomic bomb if you hate helping Japan so much.

[dazzPod]

god<chuck norris<buckethead

[M47riX1]

how could anybody dislike this masterpiece...

[Yarkza1990]

Better than sex

[thehomelessman]

When Buckethead was recording this song he created a reverse tidal wave that fixed everything in Japan.

[DeathCubeKFC]

This is one of his better songs.

[atz123ify]

@DeathCubeKFC haha nice screen name

[DeathCubeKFC]

@atz123ify Thanks, bro.

[xnickxx27x]

the 2 people that disliked it had there volume turned dow nand the the video was broken. retards

[Hardyz001]

YEA! Aug.18 NYC

[FeoSvrd]

omg

[TangerineGroovin]

WHO THE FUCK WOULD DISLIKE THIS?~!~!

[stersnevet77]

The line to have your heads re-attatched starts behind me. Put your head back on. I think that's all you're supposed to do.

[Yarkza1990]

Better than sex

[jazzpman]

epic song. Can't wait to see him in Philly aug 24!

[durpadoo]

This is incredible!

[dka0314]

Sickest arpeggios I've ever heard in a song.....

[dka0314]

2:24-2:40... Damn, how am I supposed to do that? lmao

[polipoli8]

@dka0314 We can't us humans...

[dka0314]

@polipoli8 Hahahaha, we can try... I also called it sweeping picking when it's arpeggios =x it's baffled me so much I don't even know what to call it.

[DDETHKUBEKK]

@polipoli8 Actually we can, Buckethead's skill is achievable. Well sort of, it's all about the mentality, if we believe in ourselves and try hard enough, almost anything is impossible. But Buckethead has some kind of natural god given talent, something he got from birth or something, just like John Bonham, no one will ever be like him, even though they may be equal or greater in a different way.

[maitrekenshin93]

@dka0314 if you think it sounds hard to play, you know very little about BH crazy other stuffs

[polipoli8]

@maitrekenshin93 Agreed. HAHAHAHA

[dka0314]

@maitrekenshin93 I've listened to almost every buckethead song out there, I know almost all of them and there are a lot I can play and there are some I can't. There are some speed licks i can do but this is not one of them. So I know about almost all of his stuff.

[TangerineGroovin]

@dka0314

wow i was jammin along precisely until i heard this part... looked down at the fretboard like... "O_O" how?

[CrXCrXcRx88]

@dka0314 aha i know right =)

[Tuscopa]

@dka0314 chicken picking...

[M47riX1]

@dka0314 this part isn't as hard as it sounds, it's even easy to play

[dka0314]

@M47riX1 Haha, I've heard all of his stuff from back to praxis and young buckethead but i can't do arpeggios D: if you could share how it's easy i'd greatly appreciate it haha

[M47riX1]

@dka0314 hm, i don't understand why everybody says that arpeggios are so hard, i mean sure there are extremly hard arpeggio techniques but this one in that song is pretty easy ;-)

[TJPirate89]

kickass tune!!!!!

[CoreThrasherGLB]

This kind of Buckethead song is my favorite kind :-D

[indeedken]

Two People Were'nt Strong enough to Survive Buckethead's Epicness

[matosdiogo12]

ive been listenning to tons of bucketheads work and i am a big fan.

today i was listenning to Soothsayer, Final Wars, Sail on Soothsayer, Crack the Sky and found this song...

i havent cried in 4 years but today was the day that record got broken, i felt anxious, sad, and anguish all of it due to bucketheads story the way he does stuff and the fact that people ignore him even tho hes so tallented... whats the fucking matter if he has a bucket on his and moves funny, hes still a god damn genious

[polipoli8]

@matosdiogo12 Ignore them.

[limedesu56]

@polipoli8 kill them, purge the nonbelievers!

holy templar knights of the round bucket, to me!

[MrMigue143]

@matosdiogo12 no puedo creer, por fin alguien lo dice.

buckethead un es dios no importa lo que tenga en la cabeza, es muy infravalorado por esa boludez.

[T3mPesT4h]

@matosdiogo12 "quote"-->hes still a god damn genious-... if someone could make a 'musical awesomeness spectrometer' , (thing that i've never seen before btw xD ) , the gag would start shining and jumping all over the place and then explode with the power of a supernova lol , thats why Buckethead's power is and will be unknown for many people =D ... luckyly some humans can appreciate his music without the needing of that 'gag' ^^ xD but,well, i supose honey is not made for the taste of donkeys :D

[matosdiogo12]

@T3mPesT4h wise words, damn donkeys <.<

[Aerostoth]

@matosdiogo12 That type of person is called a hipster. They're preferences aren't based on anything legitimate; merely things that they percieve as non-mainstream. People see the Bucket, how he performs, how he plays, and they assume he must be popular. Hence, they dislike him, because they think he does it all for attention. These people haven't even looked into Buckethead; they just scratch the surface.

[Aerostoth]

@matosdiogo12 [Continuation of last post]

What they don't realize is Buckethead is NOT popular, first of all; he's called ALTERNATIVE for a reason (but again, this should not matter). He doesn't do what he does for attention; he does it because it FEELS right. He's developed this persona because that's how he FEELS he is when he plays (just because Superman is flashy doesn't mean Clark Kent is a dick). Furthermore, Bucket-haters don't take the time to actually listen to his songs.

[Synbinge]

@Aerostoth I just find it pretty funny how you categorize people into a "type of person called a hipster". IMHO the term is overused and people fall victim into being generalized as one when they just have atypical tastes in music. You can't accuse people of only scratching the surface. If they don't like Buckethead, they don't like Buckethead. It's hypocritical to try and act as if our taste in music is superior to another's, even if they do think that Buckethead is some wacky coot.

[videomakertje]

@Synbinge Wrong, most people think "act" this kind of music sucks because they are afraid to fall out of the group. In this case these people are weak and the ones who can step over it will be superior to the weaker ones... Denied

[videomakertje]

@Synbinge Wrong, most people will act like this kind of music sucks because they are afraid to fall out of the group. In this case these people are weak and the ones who can step over it will be superior to the weaker ones...

[italianjjs550]

@videomakertje nice!

[Synbinge]

@videomakertje Did you even read what I wrote? Also, it's _very_ pretentious to claim that your taste in music is 'superior' to someone else. See, there are people out there that use their different from the norm taste in music as a way to boost their ego. It is narrowminded to call people superior or inferior because they are not into the same music you are. You probably have some music which you don't really like. It's the same thing.

[Synbinge]

@videomakertje When you really push the limits of music, the whole idea begins to open up to you. You don't see superior music or inferior music. Just different music. I grew up in a musical family, one especially geared towards classical music (playing in an orchestra, teaching, etc were and are all things my family did as jobs). It wasn't until a year and a half ago that I really started to understand that music speaks to other people in different ways.

[Synbinge]

@videomakertje I never liked rap music, and I always though it was pretty stupid (I was the stereotypical metalhead). When I really started challenging myself, it grew on me. Some people in this crowd might wonder what is so 'musical' about it. Well, what is so 'musical' about shredding? Even Pebber Brown (BH's teacher) would admit that shredding isn't very musical. Rap is poetry set to rhythm. I still don't listen to much because I haven't grown up in that culture. But I appreciate it now.

[Brentypooz]

@matosdiogo12 Listen to 'who me', thats his saddest song in my opinion: )

[XICOday]

amazing son =)

Buckethead is my god \m/

[lovekurt]

バケットヘッドは優しいなぁ　

[ThePopeOfTrash]

@lovekurt I agree.

[burnthermit]

what exactly are people suppose to do to help Japan? they have three nuclear reactors in full meltdown, and it's happening on an island.

[rocktothebone91]

Amazing

[dwpbike]

[polipoli8]

@dwpbike Sarcasm ?

[TheBlackShadow1987]

[AD22XX]

[SapecMonkey]

[maskseverywhere]

[PerpetualLifecycle]

I AM OFFICIALLY REACTIVATING MY ITUNES ACCOUNT AND BUYING THIS SONG 10 TIMES! NOT A JOKE!

[polipoli8]

[nickp440]

and 2:55 - 3:04 is so fucking awesome. one of my favorite licks

[nickp440]

fuckin amazing. one my favorite songs hes ever wrote. im lovin the new style of late.

[Jazz0Vs0Metal]

I live in Austria but I swear, in 4 years when I'm 19 I'll come to America and watch him live

[jackmelkin]

@Jazz0Vs0Metal he is playing at bella donna fest in gineva end of this month dude!!

[Jazz0Vs0Metal]

@jackmelkin Yeah but I'm only 15 years old you know, going to the (almost) other side of the world is a bit of y problem if you're so young XDD

But I decided to fly to San Francisco when I'm done with school an watch him at Great American Music Hall (if he plays there in summer).

Do you go to Bella donna ? If so I hope you enjoy : )

[jackmelkin]

@Jazz0Vs0Metal Yeah i know what it's like to to be young dreaming of seeing buckethead... I'm only 19 myself, i just noticed he is playing in your country because i was thinking about going, austria is much closer to me than the US (I'm in the UK) you're not too young to go bella donna if you have couple hundred bucks ;)

[romaggot]

not many artists did something like this, just another reason to love buckethead

[QuotidianHegemony]

Anyone know what he is using here equipment wise? Sounds different than usual..

[polipoli8]

@QuotidianHegemony

some said that he uses a new guitar with a different wood in it...

and some said that he tried few new fx :)

But it's still Buckethead :D

[QuotidianHegemony]

@QuotidianHegemony It almost sounds digital. Like maybe he ran it through a pod or something

[Harrysound]

I just bought it.

Because I feel for Japan and I love buckethead.

simples

[simp1ejack]

well, I learned about this song from youtube and promptly bought it. It's only 0.99. Hopefully, people will rock this out, then do the right thing and purchase it too.

[roundtr1p]

3:45 to 3:53. That's why I love Buckethead. That is so simple yet so amazing.

[LehmannDaHero]

i couldn't be bothered to donate to japan through red cross or anything like that but when i heard buckethead was releasing a song through i tunes and all the money was going to japan, i bought the song straight away

[luraze]

Great song! I wonder though how he managed to make this song so quickly. It came out like a week after the disaster?

[polipoli8]

@luraze He's God !

[loumaTROM]

@polipoli8 Nah,god ain't god shit on him.

Great song too,I laugh at anyone saying buckethead has no emotion,cause it is all over my 50 Buck CDs

[XxGenesisPlaguexX]

@luraze Perhaps you know not how he works. VERY diligently, lol. He has been known to produce many albums within a single year.

[Jazz0Vs0Metal]

@luraze That's being a real artist ; )

[MrRonGuitar]

@luraze thinks that impressive? look at his entire career he has a history of releasing entire albums only months even WEEKS after a previous release.

[bghammerite]

Thanks for posting upload, great song. Bought it on iTunes, wouldn't have done so if I hadn't seen this.

[ModScolfield]

AMAZING AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUCKETHEAD really play their songs about someone and what makes him what he does not make it but just to use your talent to tributes also forever buckethead

[raihitler]

from 1:52 onwards its so amazing!!!

[EvilSmurf76]

Why would Buckethead want you to buy this song? Pretty much all organizations simply donate to the Red Cross and they decide where the money goes? I love Buckethead but can anyone confirm this for me?

[erjar281]

instead of going on tour this is what he was doing instead

[UnknownSect333]

@erjar281 He is on tour...

[polipoli8]

@Gus19497 In term that they were and are both amazing persons ?

[Gus19497]

@polipoli8 yes =)

[Gus19497]

@polipoli8 yes^^

[freakingout246]

People need to shut the fuck up, so what if he uploaded the song? If anything, that's good. It's all down to the people who rip it, and download it...They have the choice to pay or not, so shut the hell up!

Great song by the way, his guitar is crying as some guy said!

[Broadcasttttful]

Well I'd like to buy it... But i obviously have less money than japan...

Hi youtube converter.

[LaceratedBalls]

I bought it, I fucking had too, it was amazing.

[reyneoaz]

I can hear Buckethead's guitar cry :'(

[dishayu]

I heard this song here and i'd surely buy it if i had something to buy online from, credit card etc.

[MrSuperAlptraum]

Buy it buy it buy it buy it!And pusch Big B!!!!!!

[RockOnBuckethead]

I show a lot of people this song. Even though they did not like buckethead in particular (idk how but you know...) they still bought the song because of what it was written for. 99 cents for a good song and a good cause? Yeah, most people will go for that.

[Moutonfripon]

just a random question: why is this song so popular in the country of Laos? (check the stats). Anyway, Big B is so awesome for showing his support with such an amazing song. I will buy the song even though I dislike Itunes.

[BrianGriffin92]

i was watching the news and it says that the nuclear cloud passed over greece after going into north pole . If it stays there Europe will be in BBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGG­GG trouble

[1a2b3cdf3]

japan is a very respectable enemy, yeah they cuased the U.S. to enter WW2....ending untold numbers of lives....and we ended up handing them their ass in the form of 2 nuclear bombs:)

but they arnt muslims and they act more white then we do. so you know they are good people

[InvidiaVita]

@1a2b3cdf3 Comment of the thread!

[Abadninja]

@1a2b3cdf3 You are an absolute scumbag you know that? Racist prick...
