he reminds me of Brendan Frasier in the affair interview
oh shit
This is insane, I've got chills man. Always thought the shyness was just an act
great interview, seems like a really nice guy
>Has about 300 studio albums
>Only a few of them are worth a damn
Those few contain inhuman guitar talent and some have beautiful melodies
He has more than a few good albums, but they're still outnumbered by the amount of atonal wank he's put out since he released the pikes
As someone who's never listened to Buckethead what albums are recommended to start with?
I've started chronologically with Bucketheadland and so far I'm liking it.
My favorite album of his is Shadows Between the Sky, but his most popular are probably Colma, Electric Tears, Population Override, and Pepper's Ghost.
Pepper's ghost is great. I like decoding the tomb of the bansheebot a lot. Enter the chicken is really interesting and has features like serj. Albino slug has a couple of my favorites, as well as crime slunk scene.
I like pikes 271 and 268 off the top of my head
Look up "Pike Suggester", I'd include a link but Sup Forums thinks it's spam. This site helps you to pick the Pikes on your favourite genre and mood.
population override is probably the best one I've heard. but I haven't heard many
>only known because of a meme song in Guitar Hero 2
JUST
what song was that, Jordan?
>We could lose Buckethead
Fuck this gayest of earths.
He sounds like a tired Theodore Logan.
Yeah it was the hardest song
I was not prepared for these feels
Why does Buckethead talk like a teenager?
I've never heard of the guy - how did he release 118 studio albums in one year?
Hold Me Forever (In memory of my mom Nancy York Carroll) is one of his best albums, but it's one of the pikes so it's easy to forget about. Also it's doing the thing were every song transitions into the other so it's hard to really get a grasp of the album.
If you are a fan of the guy get your ass to his website and buy one of his albums. For a bit of extra you can get a signed CD with a unique doodle. Bought a signed copy of the aforementioned album and it's probably my favorite music-related piece I have.
...
As far as pikes go, Claymation Courtyard, Hold Me Forever, Poseidon, and Glacier are all really good. Also, if you like Pepper's Ghost, listen to Albino Slug.
By doing nothing but playing guitar and recording every single jam session.
>press record
>improvise for half an hour
>stop recording
>publish
How well do these albums sell? I thought Green day releasing 3 albums in a year was ambitious...
I might as well check some of his work out.
I'm not wrong in thinking there was a Lord Buckethead during the UK elections, right?
Probably not too well. I don't think he does it for the money. In the interview he says that his music represents his life. I think it's just his coping mechanism when he encounters adversity so during that stretch of time he was probably very stressed and anxious.
well each one of those "pike" albums are $20 if you're going to get the vinyl so if one very dedicated fan wants the whole set they need to dish out around $5000 even if you just want the digital copies that's still like $2000
some madman on rym has actually reviewed all 273 of the pike albums so there's that:
rateyourmusic.com
he even narrowed the 273 down to 100 of his favorite:

colma and electric tears
also look up there is underrated as fuck
NOT LIKE THIS
The albums are only available physically in a limited amount, so they really don't need to sell a whole lot. After the physical copies run out, they are then available for sale digitally.
Giant Robot and Monsters & Robots if you want weird vocal sample-heavy jams about slasher flicks, basketball and japanese action figures
Colma, Electric Tears and Population Override if you want mellow instrumental jams
Pepper's Ghost, Elephant Man's Alarm Clock, Crime Slunk Scene and Decoding The Tomb of Bansheebot if you want straightforward rock instrumentals
Cuckoo Clocks of Hell if you heavy as fuck anti-chill that's actually stressful to listen to

I like this video of him goofing off with his friends

Gotta listen to Look Up There again tonight
Thanks for reminding me
They go on sale a few times a year at least, and you can get them for really cheap (less than $5 I think)
Great albums

I'd bet he's somewhere on the autism spectrum. Not meant in any sort of disparaging way, but there's a hesitant lilt in his voice that reminds me of family members I have that are diagnosed.
hes /ourguy/
Space Cadillac is incredible.
>that song he wrote about his favourite porn star
Motherfucker is a giant in person
>6′ 6″
god damn
Buckethead's a fuckin legend, it sounds like he's been dealing with medical problems for close to the past decade but he's found good ways to cope with it and be strong.
Love the guy. I've listened to all of his albums, by the way.
What a bunch of goofballs

>google "buckethead height"
>one of the first results is a subreddit called r/tall
>it's literally just guys talking about how tall they are
I'm always regularly surprised at how cringy reddit is
Thank you op, this was brilliant and insightful.
>Green day releasing 3 albums in a year
The reason probably has something to do with the fact that I wasn't even aware they had done that.
What the fuck? What happened?
He has a heart issue.
If I had to guess, could possibly be Afib
Why always the good guys?
He sounds suicidal
Nah, he's just autistic. Like, for real autistic, not Sup Forums autistm.
i love how he puts so much soul into his music.
i love my parents is great
i really want to use this as an album cover
fuck off Bob
I WON'T ACCEPT THIS
I thought Buckethead was people talking about Slash
> not Sup Forums autistm
Yea , weaponized autism is too dangeroud for mere humans
>weaponized autism
No, he mean that channers pretend to have autism (although they don't really know what it is, or how rare it is) because that's the current fad. You probably knew about that and I hate to be the party pooper, but this shit is becoming painfully embarrassing and needs to stop.
this is extremely relate able being someone with a heart problem as well
>i love my parents is great
Knew somebody would mention it.

kino film.
RIP Buckethead
sleep tight sweet prince
He does sounds like he's dying.
Not prepared for this in this lifetime
...
there are different versions of buckethead. pretty sure 90s buckethead was a different person
...
Bucket is the best.
>cuckoo clocks of hell and monsters and robots in the same category
M&R is much closer to bucketheadland and Giant Robot than it is to Cuckoo Clocks.
Either way though, it's cool to see a buckethead infographic for a change.
How long ago did you guys discover Buckethead?
What was your very first experience with him?
What was your first full album?
What about him appeals to you so much?
>How long ago did you guys discover Buckethead?
10 y ago
>What was your very first experience with him?
Idunno, nottingham lace?
>What about him appeals to you so much?
at least he's got some sense of humour and self-awareness unlike most shredders
I discovered him when I was 13, first album was Crime Scene Slunk. I'm 23 now and though my tastes have somewhat changed, I still like to revisit a few of his songs.
What appeals? What said + being original in live-shows.
around the 28 minute mark, he talks about losing his parents... sad stuff. says he feels their presence when he plays... maybe that's why he records so much music now.
oh fuck the viggo collab description had me laughing pretty hard for a few minutes
Absolutely crazy to hear this guy, i thought i'd never see the day.
>How long ago did you guys discover Buckethead?
5 years ago
>What was your very first experience with him?
Either Padmasana or Baptism of Solitude came up on Pandora while I was sulking in class
>What was your first full album?
Electric Tears
>What about him appeals to you so much?
Mainly the emotion put forth with no words required
Also the collabs with Travis Dickerson are the best
Praxis: Transmutation is WAY better than any of his solo work
Is the bucket headland stuff his most metal?
No, try Cuckoo Clocks Of Hell
this is a very sad interview
no cuckoo clocks of hell is. also check out pike 51 and bucketheadland 2
Thanks.
They talked about some really scary stuff, but all that stuff about coping I thought was pretty uplifting
I saw him live a few years back. Unfortunately he didn't have a full band (just him playing to backing tracks), but it was pretty amazing just to watch him play.
He also threw like 900 CDs into the audience, and each one was supposed to be completely different.
bucket has been suffering for the past 10 years :(
