Buckethead - Beat it Jam at Fox Theatre

[mr931126]

haha hes just so cool and play so godlike! :)

[moluvsage]

Just wondering if the mask is some kind of tribute to Michael Jackson,it appears both strived to achieve a unique apperance.

[kwon2007]

This is incredibly awesome!

[sandydavidsnodgrass]

Michael Jackson...or should we say Eddie Van Halen song

[thekingofcinema1]

@sandydavidsnodgrass pretty sure michael wrote beat it, and smooth criminal and the melody etc, thus, he was playing michael jackson songs

[InFlames2421]

What kind of guitar is he using?

[funghighlsd25records]

william tell overture

[MIssAzUL1]

K Jam tan sweet, I like a lot !!!!!

[hiphopBB00]

I love when he play smooth music...

[ShadowFan502]

0:11 - 0:21 - Look, He is smiling :)

[1856eddie]

The gone too soon part shows his respect for mj. Everybody loves imitating van halen but to follow with that shows mad respect for the king of pop.

[racingandmusicmylife]

[railer16]

[railer16]

[Usuario7849]

[jvetter713]

[F3FisGoodforYou]

[xenonnati]

THATS IT! now i'm sure Buckethead is a hacker -.- he hacked life ! but PELASE don't report him to God! this hacker i like.

[kristofor12345]

2:15 somebody needs to go to the hospital

[JustAnotherDrummerJG]

@kristofor12345 xDDD a mental one.

[kristofor12345]

@JustAnotherDrummerJG I went to a buckethead show recently, and I actually screamed just like that many times. So I understand now lol

[fishman017]

The MJ riff isn't Beat It, it's Smooth Criminal. Awesome work by Buckethead. as always.

[BlackLabelForLife]

@fishman017 the riff at the begining is beat it dude....use your ears

[kgpsouravdas]

@fishman017 listen to him @0:10 dats "beat it" ... "smooth criminal" comes later

[jayandthebongman]

The crowds just standing there in amazement

[chrhem1234]

you forgot to add gone too soon to the title haha

[lowlypeasant]

Fucking retarded fans.

[KristyB5]

@lowlypeasant I was just thinking the same. People act like retards when they go to see him. I'm just there to enjoy it and always something seems to put a damper on the evening for me.

[spam509]

1:14 is da best part of the song love it

[spam509]

sick song love it

[randallace]

No.... its a campfire guitar. Cause after u play it they usually go out of tune and aren't worth carrying home.... So we toss em in the campfire..LOL

[randallace]

this video is proof that this guy is f'n amazing .... hes getting thiose sounds out of a cheap thin body cowboy/campfire guitar !!!...simply amazing .

[peaceluvanjelybeanz]

@randallace its called an acoustic

[AlexChaseMusic]

anybody else hear the laugh at 2:43?

[SLASHLesPaulModel]

@AlexChaseMusic YES MY COCK HEARD IT FUCKIN RETARD

[AlexChaseMusic]

@SLASHLesPaulModel you sir, are quite unpleasant.

[KingKook]

You can tell the intelligence of the crowd by how it sounds more like a rodeo or a Nascar race than an artistic type concert. Half wits having a hoe down. Nothing wrong with that, I'm just sayin'... Yeah, I'm just saying this is the most spastic, goofy, dip shit music I've heard since, since... uhh... since Weird Al Yankovic. Remember him? No? Me neither...

[Zukatsr125]

haha, I love that he shred on a aucustic( spelling) guitar..

[caums]

1:12 he's playing Gone To Soon from Dangerous album

[fobsternd]

the dude on the left side of the stage was so desperate lol. 6:42 "oh hey, bucket is taking off his acoustic, let me be the one to handle his equipment"..."Oh hey Psticks, please let me touch his acoustic guitar, *grabs guitar from psticks*. P-sticks: "what are you doing foo, give that back. I'm his equipment guy, not you". GG LOL

[soothsayer1985]

That was INCREDIBLE!! :)

[fastfingers0]

2:43 and 5:58

the definition of a jizz laugh......

[alt9001]

Bucketheads live shows pretty much resemble what happens when you mix LSD and cocaine.

[JonnyYang123]

hahahah lol the guy on the far left is really digging buckethead's performance hes like shakin' his head and all 4:34-4:48

[dannyhood66]

Fox theater where?

[BIGBACONATOR19]

@dannyhood66 boulder,colorado

[dannyhood66]

@BIGBACONATOR19 That's cool,' Ill bet you guys get a lot of good shows, and concerts, in boulder,'' Buckethead never plays where i live in bakersfield ca,,''Guitarist here in bakersfield ca, are not very hip..lol. I mean lets face it,'' shawn lane and paul gilbert, were bucketheads guitar teachers,'' And both of them are considered top players,' Shawn lane has been called the scariest guitarist ever,'' But neither Shawn lane or Paul gilbert write music like buckethead..Only buckethead is real.

[BIGBACONATOR19]

@dannyhood66 yeah we get all kinds of music just in boulder. rap to dubstep to metal to reggae.

[dannyhood66]

@BIGBACONATOR19 That must be really nice?..Damn i live in bakersfield ca, I don't think bucketheads played hear at all,'' let alone music like Dubstep,or rave music like psytrance..This (arm pit) part of california sucks..

[BIGBACONATOR19]

@dannyhood66 its so sick. and speaking of psy trance, shpongle will be in boulder in April!

[dannyhood66]

@BIGBACONATOR19 I knew it! Psy is finally making its way over here in the states..What a trip! I think its one gener of electronic music buckethead has not done yet? I know he dabbles in all styles though..Shpongle is very india hippie like..lol

[dickbuttkick1]

What's up with the guy wearing a mask

[slunkzilla]

amazing hog bitch stomp :d

[Haizeel]

any1 know the name of the 2nd song he played? (the 1 after Beat It)

[REDSOXNYG]

anybody know what kind of guitar that is????

[terotele]

6:25 first three hand slap guitar in the history!

[theegg89]

wtf is up with the shouting idiots

[WereRabbbit]

Why cant these assholes learn the stfu while hes playing?

[berts1405]

@WereRabbbit THEY FEEEEL THE AWESOMNES!!!!

[las10plagas]

@WereRabbbit

that's what I hate about the german audience... everyone is silent and just watching...

[steve171274]

Why are there idiots shouting rubbish from the crowd?

[kbot86]

@steve171274 Because they are nothing more than drunk fools with too short of an attention span.

[booodelle]

Bucketrhead is why Guitar hero made a damn game in the first place!!!!

[puchodr]

What kind of guitar is buckethead playing in this video...I want that same guitar!!!!

[PhantomimineHorse]

Man, sick as video, nicely recorded too :). I can't believe the levels of concentration that must have taken, 7 minutes of damn hard guitar playing :O.

Anyone know what guitar he was playing then?

[NoLeafClover1980]

Nice, at 5:50 is the music from the Main Street Electrical Parade from Disneyland

[hallio111]

damn is that some kind of a classic guitar with nylon strings? and he shreds on it? wow

[KristyB5]

That harmonizer just made me pee a little in my pants.

[gRiLeDcHiKen]

What harmonic is at 1:57?

[thomasharman14]

@gRiLeDcHiKen its a strange natural harmonic, if you put your right hand on a fret then tap 12 frets higher with your left hand you get a really loud harmonic for some reason :)

[gRiLeDcHiKen]

@thomasharman14 It sounds like the string was plucked as well; there's an accentuation there, if you listen closely. Sounds like a plucking sound. I doun't think tapping can make that kind of accentuation. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. Thanks.

[thomasharman14]

@gRiLeDcHiKen no i thought that but i watched bloke called marlboro123456 do a cover of soothsayer and he puts on in there, thats where i read it from because another person was asking the same question you were. And he said that you tap 12 frets higher and the frequency makes it go proper loud :)

[gRiLeDcHiKen]

@thomasharman14 You mean you just touch the string and the sound is produced? What causes the vibrations in the string then? Sorry I don't really understand..

[rdsnk82]

anyone have tabs for his version of gone too soon. Its really close to the piano sheet music which i have but Im no good at transposing to guitar

[Libby56]

gone too soon

[faridsoccerstar]

1:13 is Gone Too Soon , by Michael Jackson.

August 29 was MJ's birthday so that must have been his tribute to him.

[facugtr]

any tabs for the melodic and soft song?

[DavidFuture2Lt]

and out of no where.............bonanza lol....gotta love buckethead

[strangestalker3456]

damn this is so damn cant explain how amazing he is he is just awesomely epic guitarist

[judaspriestrock]

Buckethead loved Michael Jackson. The song at 1:13 is just beautiful

[KUBLUH]

[omgm0n]

To be more specific , I think it's an Epiphone SST.

[drumitar]

[WoutOr87]
