I’m 68, and I have had a passion for music all my life. For me music is about feelings, not so much about technique. Whether the music is simple or complicated I don’t care, so long as it moves me. For only one week ago I heard Buckethead (Soothsayer) for the first time, and I haven't been so overwhelmed since I was 16 and heard Hendrix for the first time. Now I have only listen to Buckethead the whole week, and it doesn't matter if he's the G.O.A.T. or not, his music is just everything I have search for my whole life. The fact that people like Buckethead exists makes me believe that there is a meaning with life, and that there must be a god somewhere.
I'm 34. I feel the same way. I like Brandon Ellis as a guitar player also. But this guy is unreal. This is music I could listen too when I want to kill myself. Or when I'm on top of the world. Amazing stuff indeed.
Exactly this. No group or individual's music has ever had such an impact on my life. There are many greats that I hold in high regard.. Maiden, Pantera, Metallica etc etc.. many songs to fit my feelings at any given time... but the feelings and emotions that this guy invokes within myself are indescribable. He literally saved my life a couple of years back, and his music has opened my eyes to life like no one else ever has or could.
@@kevinholt7046 This guy stopped me from killing myself, and is also someone I can listen to when I am feeling on top of the world. Nobody comes close in the way he has affected my life.
I am 59 and a drummer. I was turned on to Buckethead by an old friend, who is an astounding bass player, some fifteen years ago. I'm a Jeff Beck, Satriani / Vie/ Andy Timmons etc. fan. Buckethead reaches me in a way that no other artists have. I believe he truly puts his soul into it, I feel his emotions, and every stroke of those strings speaks to me and quenches my soul's desire, which I never knew I had a hunger for. It's as if the notes are speaking directly to me. Earth Heals Herself is one of my favorites and it breaks my heart that Spotify can't release Population Override. Anyway, I just wanted to add my experience and appreciation for this awesome true artist. I pray that whatever God one prays to will bless all those who find and have found the real connection with music, and the calm it can bring to one's soul.
A drummer friend I used to jam with told me bout buckethead back in early 2000s. I’d heard his name Buckethead very rare. I was hooked immediately the first riff on ‘colma’ my drummer had recorded many tapes from his CDs. At that time buckethead joined guns n roses. Electric tears and Bermuda Triangle were new releases. I thought it was great buckethead still released his music. I never considered buckethead a guitarist for Guns N’ Roses. More like job make money for more buckethead records. At that time people didn’t like buckethead. ‘The dude wears bucket on his head’. People didn’t except buckethead because his image. Rude about it… I would say’ you’re typical f’*’*n redneck! You’re NOT even guitar player. Then I would WHAT! Marty Friedman. Paul Gilbert? You don’t know guitar
spacenut58 the day anyone finds Buckethead is the best day of their life. My life hasnt been the same since and I have no desire to go see any other musicians live.
MasterWitchDoctor dont miss your next opportunity. i got buckets sweat dripping on my face while tapping his killswitch. nothing like seeing him live up front, face melting extreme
I discovered him for a few hours ago and I can´t even understand that this is real. And I can´t stop listening to song after song after song wich some have brought tears to my eyes, I´m not going to lie. He´s out of this world..
Dude amen!!! Discover him bout 10 15 yrs ago..somewhere over the slaughter house albino slug ish era...more like 11yrs...i listen almost everyday sometimes exclusivly...4-8 music a day...still havent heard all his stuff i have never had my mibd blown so many times musically...its insane really...how much hard work he put in getting good recording etc...ty big b
Ive come across your comments before math teacher! What a great class this must be...just rockin the pikes every class. Makes me wanna go back to school! 👨🏻🏫🍎📚👩🏼🎓
Somewhere, some day, bucket will be realized as the greatest musician and composer of the human race. It might take a century for this to happen, but for now, he “cures” me, completely. Thanks bucket, I can never repay!
David Gilmour himself, the master of ambient bluesy guitar, would put his guitars to sale if he ever heard this. BUCKETHEAD is on another level, way beyond anything that the human mind is able to comprehend.
I want to be the next man with 300 albums but I don't know if I can Im 16 he is 53 and my dream is to become someone just like buckethead he inspires me so much I can't express
I'm a full grown 53 year old man and I still get tears in my eyes when I listen to the emotion that pours out of every note the comes from this mans fingers. Incredible !
This song brings tears to my eyes, particularly at 11:50. An amazing piece of music by an amazing musucian. Thank you, Big B, for this piece. It makes me want to keep going. Much love
While i have players that i love more myself personally i would have to agree on just sheer talent emotion imagination and how prolific he has always been and continues to be. Buckethead is the best there is and likely ever has been.
@@holliswilliams8426 I totally agree. I can't quite put it into proper words, but there's just something uniquely satisfying about the sounds he's able to make with that guitar.
Our language is estimated to have over a million words. It seems like all those words would be enough to say everything…but they are not enough. Buckethead can compose an equation of notes put together in a way that transcends any spoken language and touches people where they feel. And that is more than just talent. That is a true gift. Please keep doing it. I need you to keep me moving forward.
By far the most innovative and revolutionary guitarist of all time. His music touches my soul like no other. He is in my humble opinion the absolute G.O.A.T.! No other guitarist can bring such emotion to their playing. His variety of styles is truly unprecedented. God bless you Buckethead!
Friedrich Nietzsche, the famous philosopher, once said: "Without music, life would be a mistake". I totally agree. Music saved my life when I was a chronically suicidal teenager in the 60s. Buckethead reaches deep into your soul. It's the most beautiful, emotional, spiritual music I've ever heard. Just discovered him 2 weeks ago. First time I heard his masterpiece to his mom "Hold Me Forever" I cried through the whole 28 minutes. Coupon is another masterpiece. Don't know if I have enough time to listen to all his recorded work, but I'm going to try.
It's 1am, and we're in lockdown again. I wish I was somewhere else, in another place, in another time. Thank you Buckethead for making this possible just by closing my eyes.
Feels. This hell on earth is just beginning, no way out. Let's Mr buckethead lead us thru... I'm just about giving it all up. Best luck to you time traveler !
I'm convinced, he's the best, he is above all. Even jimi seems a little kid to him. No disrespect to anyone, but he's the best. I am so glad that during my depression i found buckethead, i can now heal easily. His music is so soothing calming to the soul as if it's speaking through the galaxy. I'm so happy i found him. God bless buckethead.
I saw Jimi live in 1968 and have been listening to him all my 70 years. I have listened to many other great guitarists over the years. Buckethead is not only the best guitarist I've ever heard, this is the best music I've ever heard.
I started my Buckethead journey in June of 2018 with this particular song. I still say it is my most favorite amongst a hundred other favorites from the maestro. Maybe because it was the first that pulled me into the vortex or maybe because it is just so great/sublime.
Very beautifull... Wich each of his ballads Buckethead is able to take us with him to other "parallel universes" hiden in our heads, provided that we are willing to open the door...
When my 20 year old son told me about bucket head I told him he was crazy but I started listening to him and I tell you I was wrong this guy is so awesome can’t stop listening to him thank you so much bucket head you keep up the great work
We are lucky to live during this small fraction of time along with Buckethead. I consider it to be a miracle and do not take one single note for granted. ❤️
I love songs like these. 15 minutes of endorphin rush. This song can be enjoyed alone, with friends, at a party or on a trip to mars. Buckethead really is a shred genius.
The most important musician of the millennium ,and most of the world is clueless of his talent. He will leave a legacy behind ,and everyone years from now will wonder how they missed out on the greatest American treasure. Buckethead.
@@charlesmiller3278 Most guitarist appreciat the emotions and techniques he implementes. But mist people only see his shredder side and thing he makes loud obnoxious music
@@zerx..- same here, best guitarist in my opinion. Tried many other guitarists, like many of them also. But none of them make me cry, Buckethead does😉 For every emotion or feeling i have there are songs
Some times in life no matter how down you find yourself in the right place at the exact moment you needed to be there and then your first experience with buckethead happens at the same time.. Food for the soul just another reason to keep going.. Thank you so much Buckethead
Off the charts as some of best music ever... Buckethead is not of this world...he is laying down some eternal licks ...and one of them is this song .... generations from now people will listen to his music ...same as we now listen to the classical musicians of 200 - 300 years preceding our current time warp
that build-up for the first minute, and then culminating with that burst of emotion at 1:19 is what only Buckethead can achieve. It's like the birth of a star or universe, with that accumulated energy in its core, covered by deep silence - which is finally released in a big bang event that is the start of a new world. not sure if this makes sense, but it's what I kinda feel when listening to this song. trully epic.
Ultimately, the best of the best He could and would smoke any of the top 100 guitarists of all time. Technique, ability, song writing...#1 in every respect. Who needs to listen to anyone else? Thank you BH
@Jon He is at a level above everyone else, he's like Einstein and other physicists. That's no disrespect to the others and their great achievements, but it's just fact that this guy is a level above.
Back to say this is right now my #1 Pike and top 5 song. This is just so dam beautiful. It makes me think of my father. I want to tell him all about. He's the one who planted the seed long ago with blues guitar and it brought me here.
Es asi. Es sumamente sensible y su musica conmueve. Su imagen es todo lo contrario a su sensibilidad, a su creatividad y a su habilidad con la guitarra. Que bueno que en el mundo exista este ser humano.
I used to think that Buckethead being the very BEST guitarist to ever roam this earth was just an opinion of mine. But now, after listening to... to... THIS, I'm SURE that it's a FACT
I just founded Buckethead a couple of months ago. I wished I founded him much earlier. I am so amazed by his playing and music. I would have most definitely attended one or two of his concert shows if I would have caught him early enough. I now put my earphones in beneath my ear muffs at work and while unloading product relaxing to Buckethead The time flows by so smoothly and my day is so much better. This is kind of funny. I just bought an older bass boat and I have been struggling trying to name it. Now I believe I'm gonna have the name Sooth Sayer painted on the back. The SS Sooth Sayer...Play on Bucketehead. Play On..
This guy is one of my greatest finds for the last 3-4 years...the guitar is sweet, yet melodic and complex...I would say up there with Vai and Satriani...and even sweeter!
Buckethead tiene un modo de componer fuera de ésta galaxya. Es impresionante que pueda crear tanta diversidad de canciones con esas increibles guitarras y esas atmosferas tan especiales y que te transmitan. Wow
Deffinitly a few levels up trust me im a floyd fan and they rock but this is just so much more soulful floyds early shit is pretty amazing and acoustic
Meu, esse cara é uma consciência num nível totalmente diferente do que estamos acostumados na música. Escutei cerca de 40 pikes até agora e não teve uma que não me tocasse de alguma forma. Essa aqui é uma das mais intensas. Só consigo agradecer esse cara por honrar a guitarra de forma única. Genial e transcendental!
Buckethead é fora da casinha ele tem tantas influencias que isso só deixa mais rico seu modo de tocar, muito feeling e alma na música, tem nem o que dizer né desse monstro da guitarra!!!
Desde el fin del mundo Chile, acá presente escuchando a este tipo, lo llevo escuchando desde el 2014 y no dejo de sorprenderme por lo que puede transmitir sin necesidad de tener que adornar su música con algún tipo de letra, pues este hombre sabe como transmitir su energía mientras hace hablar a la guitarra, sin lugar a duda esto es verdadera música.
Acá alguien de Osorno. Llevo escuchando a Buckethead desde el 2010 gracias a un viejo amigo (qepd) que me lo dió a conocer. No hay otro como Bucket, su música está más allá. Es difícil describirlo con palabras, pero me imagino que debes sentir lo mismo que yo. GRANDE BUCKETHEAD!!!
Thanks bucket head for a great riff. I always get emotional and also get a full of energy whenever I listen to your compositions. Thanks thanks thanks.
Yes, i had 3 Pailgrimages this tour and he was awesome at all 5 shows! I finally got a toy at show 4 and 5 and got to touch his killswitch at 2 of the shows! My 3rd show was at Englewood, CO and do to not eating nor drinking much water and the altitude, I fainted! So by the time that got sorted out many people passed by and I lost my front row position. :( But I loved every minute of it! I hope he tours again next year.
I am about to sell my home and I am seriously considering buying his entire collection. Its a bargain at a little over two hundred dollars. I just can't stop listening to him!
@@JimmyBlimps No but I wished I had! I still may do so. It was about $200 or more for the CD's. I could listen to him and no one else and that scares me!
Curto vários guitar heroes,mais. Buckethead está além, parece que ele é de um outro tempo, outra dimensão,suas notas rompem as barreiras, buckethead é incrível muito sentimental e uma técnica fora da realidade, em fim um Gênio.....
@Alset Alokin - I bet they wish they could!!! I'm serious, I don't think there is a player out there with the talent of this man, and I love Satch and Co - but BH, he is insane.....
Isso é lindo demais olha 16 minutos de pura emoção e música de alta qualidade, olha eu não sei como ele consegue memorizar tudo isso e tocar com essa técnica absurda, pra mim a melhor trilha de Guitarra do mundo!!!
I'm hearing you Chris - he's just something else entirely. I like so many others, Schenker, Satch, Santana, you name it but BH is just off the scale completely.......
Great song and the picture in the video is awesome, lonely, isolating, yet still busy and chaotic, majestic. It seems lonely looking out into the vastness of space, but there is so much life out there, yet you can't see it and it is completely untouchable, so you aren't really alone but still you are. Lifeforms on other planets probably look out into the sky and see our star all the time, they don't know we are here looking back, yet we are. I had to set it as my new desktop background, took awhile to find the image in a higher resolution but I finally found one
This song on top of many others speak to the very core of my soul. There isn't one day that goes by that multiple songs literally are played either at home or in my truck . Thank you bucket !!!!!!!!!!!
This song is still my favorite of all the pikes to this day. It's the only one of a kind. He plays in outerspace while everyone is playing at home watching from TV. This man is a genius musician. One day people will recognize him.
This song is haunting, and in a beautiful way. When I first listened to it, I was in a weird place in my life. And somehow this song is able to take me right back mentally, almost as if this song is a working time machine, making me experience the same though processes and feelings from back then. It’s scary, but the song itself is calming, reminding me that I’m still here, able to listen to it after that dark place when I first heard it, letting me know that time keeps moving forward.
I’m 68, and I have had a passion for music all my life. For me music is about feelings, not so much about technique. Whether the music is simple or complicated I don’t care, so long as it moves me.

Then we are not alone, cuz he spoke to my soul too. We are connected with each other through his magic
@@utophobiarepublic316 indeed
Your are not alone,
All you need!
So much so I often feel sick to my stomach. Like a roller coaster feel in a good way.
Buckethead's music always finds you in the very right moment when you need it...
It does. Saved my life
16 mins of jamming and every lick is fresh as fuck, the best guitar player ever
its his composition skills are as great as his instrumental skills, so creative. its his ability to compose so many masterpieces that blows me away

In french : quelle sensibilité extraordinaire chez ce musicien
Best guitarist on the planet.

I am 59 and a drummer. I was turned on to Buckethead by an old friend, who is an astounding bass player, some fifteen years ago. I'm a Jeff Beck, Satriani / Vie/ Andy Timmons etc. fan. Buckethead reaches me in a way that no other artists have. I believe he truly puts his soul into it, I feel his emotions, and every stroke of those strings speaks to me and quenches my soul's desire, which I never knew I had a hunger for. It's as if the notes are speaking directly to me. Earth Heals Herself is one of my favorites and it breaks my heart that Spotify can't release Population Override. Anyway, I just wanted to add my experience and appreciation for this awesome true artist. I pray that whatever God one prays to will bless all those who find and have found the real connection with music, and the calm it can bring to one's soul.
Earth Heals Herself is one of my very favorites as well. I think it was the first pike I heard probably not after it was released. Pike #5 I believe
Buckethead is simply a god among's us. Population override u say, one of his greatest album. "Clones" in it, omg.
Well said Frank 👍😊

2 + 2 = Buckethead

Right beside Steven Wilson.
Sucks it’s going to take that long but you’re right man. 360 plus albums at this point and still going. Unreal
Well said👌👌👌
👍😊
You have repaid him by feeling better 😃
Buckethead is literally a genius, for as long as I live I will be listening to all of his pikes and singles.
David Gilmour himself, the master of ambient bluesy guitar, would put his guitars to sale if he ever heard this. BUCKETHEAD is on another level, way beyond anything that the human mind is able to comprehend.
truth, it's like Salieri compared to Mozart
Both are exceptional at different things
That’s why we can’t analyze it, just let it move through us, taste the bliss. Uncle Buckethead has us in the Bucket Zone.
2024/Dave Gilmour has just sold most of his guitar collection = $ 21 million for charity.
Black/DSOTM STRAT MADE $2.1 million
Buckethead is like Bruce Lee, he studied all the arts and came up with his own.
Fuck yes
hell yeah
A comment can't get any better than this❤️
That's perfect

I`m 64.. Buckethead`s unique genius brings me to the most joyful, emotional tears every time I listen.. Enjoy people.. There will never be another..
I want to be the next man with 300 albums but I don't know if I can Im 16 he is 53 and my dream is to become someone just like buckethead he inspires me so much I can't express
Nobody is worthy. Buckethead. You seem to hit every emotion in my soul with your playing. You go where no one else does! Thank you.
This is my neighbors new favorite song whether they like it or not
Ha! Agreed..
Believe me they like it
This is like the song Beethoven would write if he were alive now and played the electric guitar.
What a coincidence, my neighbour also loves it, probably
Жаль, у меня нет соседей, спросить нравится или нет😢
I'm a full grown 53 year old man and I still get tears in my eyes when I listen to the emotion that pours out of every note the comes from this mans fingers. Incredible !
This song brings tears to my eyes, particularly at 11:50. An amazing piece of music by an amazing musucian. Thank you, Big B, for this piece. It makes me want to keep going.
Much love

Love you, buckethead. You are greatest guitarist of this generation. I am emotionally connected to your music. Your music is art & you are Mozart ❤
Every note perfectly goes one after another in a beautiful, but bad ass, almost haunting melody. Just perfect and never gets old.
Man he’s on another level of feeling from the the cosmos and beyond Buckethead is guitar magic if you can’t feel it you must be deceased.😳
As soon as that first note gets hit i get the biggest fucking smile on my face. Wow
YES !
Fuck Yeah
God, I'm the same way!
It took me 60 years to find the kind of music I heard in my head as a youngster! Thank you, Buckethead! Amazing!
Should have picked up a guitar and played those riffs! If these were in your head, you have potential to create awesome music.
Anthony Scott, love the bucket you wore for your profile picture.
I can dig that. I'm about to start churning some butter
I was going to say that

Perhaps he's expressing love through you
As a guitarist I can't believe I slept on buckethead so long he's an incredibly beautiful player.
Damn man you knew about him and still slept on him
you slept on him because metalheads hate him and metalheads make up too much of the fan base of instrumental guitar music

Buckethead is on the same level as Mozart. The quality and volume of his body of work is almost unbelievable.
Buckethead respects Jimi Hendrix a lot
pure music. from the heart. full of energy. Please come to Europe Buckethead.
Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont have the words to describe how beautiful this is
Just continues to top his untoppable self simply amazing.

The guitar does the singing. That's what's so cool and beautiful.
My brother was the same way then one day I saw his discography in his music collection lol
From 11:50...This part is beyond any category. Masterpiece. Pure emotion, as if the heart is pouring out to everyone who listens to this.
Still returning. One of the most moving compositions I've ever listened to. I never expected someone to master the Whammy Pedal but he just did
Correction: I can't deny that this IS the most moving composition I've ever listened to
He has released a lot of really moving compositions but this one is the "best" to me. Not a single one of his other pieces moves me like this one.

For several months now, I listen to at least 3-4 albums a day, of Buckethead. It's impressive. Thanks to everyone who posted his exceptional music.
Soothsayer is 🔥
I love songs like these. 15 minutes of endorphin rush. This song can be enjoyed alone, with friends, at a party or on a trip to mars. Buckethead really is a shred genius.
For sure, that's what I said about a DMT trip. This is the best song ever and perfect length lol
The most important musician of the millennium ,and most of the world is clueless of his talent. He will leave a legacy behind ,and everyone years from now will wonder how they missed out on the greatest American treasure. Buckethead.
For guitarists, yes. How many people listen to him and aren't guitar players? I'd imagine an incredibly low number.
@@charlesmiller3278 Ive never touched a guitar
@@charlesmiller3278 Most guitarist appreciat the emotions and techniques he implementes. But mist people only see his shredder side and thing he makes loud obnoxious music
@@zerx..- same here, best guitarist in my opinion. Tried many other guitarists, like many of them also. But none of them make me cry, Buckethead does😉 For every emotion or feeling i have there are songs
Some times in life no matter how down you find yourself in the right place at the exact moment you needed to be there and then your first experience with buckethead happens at the same time.. Food for the soul just another reason to keep going.. Thank you so much Buckethead
Yeah man, dear bucket head you are not alone there are a million of us out here playing the same song. It's beautiful😉
when you need inspiration of any kind...... pick an album....ANY album..a true genius
this one speaks the truth
He is the best guitarist. There is no one else comes close to him....
Likely. It's not his goal though
He is a composer and musician rather than a guitarist, but yes
@@holliswilliams8426 performer too..
@@hotrd91614 ok yes sorry, virtuoso as well as a composer
im better
someone asked me: "could you imagine Mozart with an electric guitar?" I said: "yes I can he's called Buckethead."
I'm hearing ya brother!!
CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like to think of him as Beethoven bc he's more emotional than Mozart imo
MasterWitchDoctor y
Something that never happened
Off the charts as some of best music ever... Buckethead is not of this world...he is laying down some eternal licks ...and one of them is this song .... generations from now people will listen to his music ...same as we now listen to the classical musicians of 200 - 300 years preceding our current time warp
+Toadly4Sure couldnt agree more---you must hear it the same way i do and thats cool.......
Go to ranker.com best instrumental songs and check this song!!! People need to know about this sublime genius!
that build-up for the first minute, and then culminating with that burst of emotion at 1:19 is what only Buckethead can achieve. It's like the birth of a star or universe, with that accumulated energy in its core, covered by deep silence - which is finally released in a big bang event that is the start of a new world. not sure if this makes sense, but it's what I kinda feel when listening to this song. trully epic.
Completely makes sense, that's exactly what I imagine when I listen to this.
It makes perfect sense to me!!!
Nailed it!
Exactly that 👍🏻👊🏻
Another wonderful journey supplied by Buckethead. Thanks Brian, you are a gift to humanity.
Ultimately, the best of the best He could and would smoke any of the top 100 guitarists of all time. Technique, ability, song writing...#1 in every respect. Who needs to listen to anyone else? Thank you BH
@Jon He is at a level above everyone else, he's like Einstein and other physicists. That's no disrespect to the others and their great achievements, but it's just fact that this guy is a level above.
His competition is maybe with himself
Back to say this is right now my #1 Pike and top 5 song. This is just so dam beautiful. It makes me think of my father. I want to tell him all about. He's the one who planted the seed long ago with blues guitar and it brought me here.
Yup me too!!! Just had me thinking about my Father. Lol
Exactly how I feel, they be listening with us brother ❤
This is one of my favourite songs ever.
this man literally speaks with his guitar no other music comes close to this for me
Es realmente increíble que exista un ser humano tan sensible , capaz de crear esta música tan hermosa y sublime .
Es asi. Es sumamente sensible y su musica conmueve. Su imagen es todo lo contrario a su sensibilidad, a su creatividad y a su habilidad con la guitarra. Que bueno que en el mundo exista este ser humano.
11:24 has to be one of the most emotive and mind blowing yet simple run downs ive ever heard in my life
I used to think that Buckethead being the very BEST guitarist to ever roam this earth was just an opinion of mine. But now, after listening to... to... THIS, I'm SURE that it's a FACT
I think this song and a few others prove it.
I just founded Buckethead a couple of months ago. I wished I founded him much earlier. I am so amazed by his playing and music. I would have most definitely attended one or two of his concert shows if I would have caught him early enough. I now put my earphones in beneath my ear muffs at work and while unloading product relaxing to Buckethead The time flows by so smoothly and my day is so much better. This is kind of funny. I just bought an older bass boat and I have been struggling trying to name it. Now I believe I'm gonna have the name Sooth Sayer painted on the back. The SS Sooth Sayer...Play on Bucketehead. Play On..
Couple years of this on repeat still hasn't quenched my thirst!!!
The best part about discovering Buckethead, aside from the quality of his music is the sheer quantity when you realize just how much he's made.
Lost mom two weeks ago. Buckethead brings me peace. Never to be equaled
@@rickchaffin5210 Sorry for your loss man hang in there! Hope you are doing well.
No doubt. Mind blowing x 100. He’s an artist w/ so much influence.
Best guitarist of all times
Good Lord I keep finding stuff that I've never heard from him. So incredible.
he has over 300 albums
This guy is one of my greatest finds for the last 3-4 years...the guitar is sweet, yet melodic and complex...I would say up there with Vai and Satriani...and even sweeter!
Buckethead tiene un modo de componer fuera de ésta galaxya. Es impresionante que pueda crear tanta diversidad de canciones con esas increibles guitarras y esas atmosferas tan especiales y que te transmitan. Wow
This is like Comfortably Numb but taken to another level...
A few levels up
Deffinitly a few levels up trust me im a floyd fan and they rock but this is just so much more soulful floyds early shit is pretty amazing and acoustic
Hahaha been thinking this for a long time with this one. Huge PF fan here and i have to agree with ya lol
@@karenroach3179 Animals is by far thier best record IMO
Meu, esse cara é uma consciência num nível totalmente diferente do que estamos acostumados na música. Escutei cerca de 40 pikes até agora e não teve uma que não me tocasse de alguma forma. Essa aqui é uma das mais intensas. Só consigo agradecer esse cara por honrar a guitarra de forma única. Genial e transcendental!
realmente, a musicalidade de buckethead é muito única e transcende no que se propõe; tocar
Buckethead é fora da casinha ele tem tantas influencias que isso só deixa mais rico seu modo de tocar, muito feeling e alma na música, tem nem o que dizer né desse monstro da guitarra!!!
This guy is really famous in Heaven ...
Thank you for being so good at what you do. It is a honor to hear your music. Thank you
Rightouss
Desde el fin del mundo Chile, acá presente escuchando a este tipo, lo llevo escuchando desde el 2014 y no dejo de sorprenderme por lo que puede transmitir sin necesidad de tener que adornar su música con algún tipo de letra, pues este hombre sabe como transmitir su energía mientras hace hablar a la guitarra, sin lugar a duda esto es verdadera música.
me pregunto como alguien se hace famoso en la industria musical si este hombre no es famoso
Acá alguien de Osorno. Llevo escuchando a Buckethead desde el 2010 gracias a un viejo amigo (qepd) que me lo dió a conocer. No hay otro como Bucket, su música está más allá. Es difícil describirlo con palabras, pero me imagino que debes sentir lo mismo que yo. GRANDE BUCKETHEAD!!!
Thanks bucket head for a great riff.
I always get emotional and also get a full of energy whenever I listen to your compositions. Thanks thanks thanks.
Buckethead has caused a serous problem for me...once I start listening, I can't stop.
Same here...An instant addict.
Me too Erik, unreal isn't it......
I see no problem..
Yes, i had 3 Pailgrimages this tour and he was awesome at all 5 shows! I finally got a toy at show 4 and 5 and got to touch his killswitch at 2 of the shows! My 3rd show was at Englewood, CO and do to not eating nor drinking much water and the altitude, I fainted! So by the time that got sorted out many people passed by and I lost my front row position. :( But I loved every minute of it! I hope he tours again next year.
Buckethead is an alien. So much feel to his music. Forever a fan.
Oh you didn’t know... lol.., he’s from the same planet as the guys from tool :)
A diety
I must admit it: I don't listen to Buckethead that much, but this... This is life
I still can't fathom how this song has so little views, this is better then 90% of the legendary classics
its definitely among my favorite!
i think most of those views are me lol
Almost a million, for a song on a pike, I'd say is incredibly impressive. I thought there'd be way less.
This is excellent but I can't agree that it's better than 90% of the legendary classics.
Unreal stuff, didn't expect anything less from Buckethead.
Unfuckinbelievable as always.......when I finally get chance to see him play live, I really hope he plays this
I am about to sell my home and I am seriously considering buying his entire collection. Its a bargain at a little over two hundred dollars. I just can't stop listening to him!
Did you end up buying it?
@@JimmyBlimps No but I wished I had! I still may do so. It was about $200 or more for the CD's. I could listen to him and no one else and that scares me!
@@plasma3211 It's never too late to give back to the artists you love, until it is (:
Ask it as a present from your close ones ;) feels good giving back to him (even though its not nearly enough haha)
I've never cried on a guitar solo it's so emotional god bless you Buckethead
My favorite of all the pikes. The first 10 times this really hit me with a deep feeling of my life and feeling life. Amazing.
Funny isn't it - no matter what we've got going on in our life, Buckethead makes everything seem very clear..........
@@SteveSteve-md6qx that is so very true Steve....
Buckethead is a higher being, no human can keep making such great music.
I am a74. Yr old beautiful blk woman. Not looking my age.that music is amazing !!. Keep it up as long as u can
There is so much of it he has like over 30 lifetimes of music & counting for u 🙏
Way-to-go, Ella
My whole life passed in front my eyes through this atmospheric piece of art.
It's akin to taking a psychedelic trip the emotions this song conveys
Curto vários guitar heroes,mais. Buckethead está além, parece que ele é de um outro tempo, outra dimensão,suas notas rompem as barreiras, buckethead é incrível muito sentimental e uma técnica fora da realidade, em fim um Gênio.....
Pure energy, pure art...
This is the elevator music inside an alien warship....love it.
aliens would run for the hills, "what do these people see in this? STFU and listen, you will find out what gentle people we are, now, can we talk?
wtf hahahahaha
@Alset Alokin - I bet they wish they could!!! I'm serious, I don't think there is a player out there with the talent of this man, and I love Satch and Co - but BH, he is insane.....
this is deep bro
Well in that case I need to find this elevator and bring a 18 pack of beer cuz I'm going to be in that bitch all night long \m/ 🎸 🍻
Essa música é magnífica.
Pink Floyd teria orgulho de ouvir!
Isso é lindo demais olha 16 minutos de pura emoção e música de alta qualidade, olha eu não sei como ele consegue memorizar tudo isso e tocar com essa técnica absurda, pra mim a melhor trilha de Guitarra do mundo!!!
TRULY a uncontested ROCK GOD !
On a level unto him self !
NO COMPETITION !
NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THIS😁
I'm hearing you Chris - he's just something else entirely. I like so many others, Schenker, Satch, Santana, you name it but BH is just off the scale completely.......
@@SteveSteve-md6qx Is that scale only for S names?
@@masonharris9166 Steve Vay xD
Great song and the picture in the video is awesome, lonely, isolating, yet still busy and chaotic, majestic. It seems lonely looking out into the vastness of space, but there is so much life out there, yet you can't see it and it is completely untouchable, so you aren't really alone but still you are. Lifeforms on other planets probably look out into the sky and see our star all the time, they don't know we are here looking back, yet we are.
I had to set it as my new desktop background, took awhile to find the image in a higher resolution but I finally found one
Zeppelin ♫ could you give me a link to it?
Zeppelin ♫ link to the pic brother
Link to image brother
I don't think you could play this too loud.
Chuck Norris listens to Buckethead, what's more, he learned nunchucks from him
como puede ser tan increíble? voy a comprarle todos sus álbumes cuando tenga plata, él lo merece, su música cambia mi vida para mejor.
Checklist for heaven:
1) Camp deep in woods
2) Sit on log next to campfire
3) Babbling brook nearby
4) BH via earphones playing Pike #234!
joint in hand
You missed an important part. Some sort of drug (alcohol, ketamine, mdma, lsd, weed, take your pick!).
Buckethead is the only drug required
I am so lucky to be doing that right now.❤❤❤❤❤wonderful times
The kind of sounds we need in our lives.
I'll thumbs up to that ✌
This song on top of many others speak to the very core of my soul. There isn't one day that goes by that multiple songs literally are played either at home or in my truck . Thank you bucket !!!!!!!!!!!
This song is still my favorite of all the pikes to this day. It's the only one of a kind. He plays in outerspace while everyone is playing at home watching from TV. This man is a genius musician. One day people will recognize him.
This song is haunting, and in a beautiful way. When I first listened to it, I was in a weird place in my life. And somehow this song is able to take me right back mentally, almost as if this song is a working time machine, making me experience the same though processes and feelings from back then. It’s scary, but the song itself is calming, reminding me that I’m still here, able to listen to it after that dark place when I first heard it, letting me know that time keeps moving forward.
It's like the sound of an infinite dream
‘Aye
