I posted here this masterpiece 4 years ago. But I also lost my mother 18 days ago, the pain and sadness is bad, I completely understand the sadness of Buckethead. Rest in peace, Mom!
Buckethead isn't a person He's an 'Idea'. imagine almost every kids dream to be a rock star yet BH shuns that concept. he could have easily soldout and would have plowed his way a spot as one of the greatest guitarist of all time (which he is anyway) but instead he prefers to feed the slunks and enjoy the simple things in life. i surely admire his playing but his ethics and humble nature given his divine talent is extremely inspirational. no "behind the music VH1" story here, no "well i was real messed up on coke and blah blah"... this story goes "boy picks up guitar and a bucket o' chicken and becomes a God"
Mr.Crab ,just to let you know , i will copy your comment ,print it and keep it in my wallet ,so everytime somebody ask me ''what is up with this buckethead guy'' I can shove it in their face for being dissrespectful , and I couldn't have said it better myself ;) ,cheers
Ender003, If you believe in God, there is only one, and he is the supreme being, and master of the universe. A god on the other hand, is someone like Buckethead, who is supreme at what he does.
I'm 75 years old and Buckethead has given me a new and glorious reason to live on. His music is perfect and brings out every good emotion in me. I could listen to him forever. He's made other guitarists into mincemeat. All I want to do is listen to him. I'd give anything to meet him. Keep up the good work, sweetie. Since I am a mother, I know how proud your mom had to be of you.
There is something different about this guy apart from the technique that makes a huge difference between all the greatest guitarists. There is no doubt that he is a genius and No. 1 in my personal list, but I would also say a great human being despite his complicated personality and weakness (... who does not have one!!!! ....), I think what makes people love him so much, it is also his humbleness, his way of not being a star even if he could afford it. Hope His doing well and taking care of himself.
how do you k n o w all that ? have you ever spent some time with him - hours, even days ? / for almost three decades, starting with my birth, i lived in a country where a strong cult of personality - president - ( who was, b.th.way, elected forever - lifelong ( and he managed to be the comandant of armed forces, too...) ( and a war hero ) and so, since I saw with my own reason how quickly and without being even concious of it, a person starts to believe - and even w a n t s to believe in all the best, and very soon, supernatural qualities of somebody or smth. he put on a n altar.... that s why I immediately get very cautious when i sense even a trace, a beginning of such unhealthy attitude. /. Take care !
@@laylaeatstrees8689 He was praising Buckets mom for raising him proper and said nothing to do with Bucket himself being dead? Try reading comprehension pal.
Patience is a lost art. I think it's safe to say that Buckethead is a musical prodigy/genius and that Hold Me Forever is more like a fully realized symphony than merely great Rock and Roll. The way it builds tension throughout, and that it has recurring themes, gives the impression of being created by a classical composer. If Rock and Roll is your religion, Buckethead is a GOD. His mom must have been really special, to have this dedicated to her.
Aashman Vyas I love buckethead and have been a huge fan for ages. But you're right, some of the pikes are not very good. Still, there are amazing things like this too.
Beautifuly said. One jeleous individual once said Buckethead's music is repetitive. I must agree, he repeatedly gives all his energy and talent so we can all enjoy. ✌
@@RR-qw6gu agreed.. Its his signature sound.. It isnt anymore or any less repetitive than any other guitar player... Its just the best sounds the instrument has to offer.. Over and over in different ways... I feel like all good music.. You either love it or hate it... Anyone unbiased would easily agree buckethead is the greatest whose ever played.
I only just discovered Buckethead yesterday, and I've only discovered this today. 8th of May 2024, and i seriously can't get enough of this. What a talented guitar player, what a day.
You guys shouldn't be disrespectful no mater what have some self disseplenn and self respect and above all dont disrespect the man enjoy the music or go away please now i think yal should appreciate music this fine and apologise for your rood behavior and show respect from now on do we understand one another Thank you Mr Bucket Head for this fine music some of the best guitar playing i ever heard Your friend Steven E Elliott
No one could... and he still is ...I love his sorrow .. drawing tears out of from the Master within it's a love so pure..... spiritual...for this I am truely greatful
Dear Buckethead, I feel your humor I feel your sadness I feel your intensity I feel your satire You are a true artist All the layers and textures I can see the paintings in my mind Your tentacles are notes of power You are a product of all music has to prosper The complexity of your mind!! The perfect blend of rhythms and melodys I understand it all I respect all the masters and innovators of wood and wire But you are the GOAT
When my 13 year old son was killed,buckethead kept my head together. Thank u so much! As a guitarist i have so much respect for you!!! And thank u for helping me
so sorry for your loss./ I cannot imagine the pain. I hope you and your family are pulling through. Find strength in Buckethead. I definitely go to him when I am stressed out or anxious and it seems to calm me a lot.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm also very happy when I hear that Buckethead helps you, he helps me too, always. I hope you continue to get along, such paths are never easy and the same. be strong my dear and stay strong forever, god bless you
As a father, fellow guitarist and fellow Buckethead fan, my deepest condolences I am very very sorry for your loss. This comment truly hit me hard and broke me a little bit I am crying this morning reading this. Brother, may all of life’s healing and blessings come to you. I am so sorry. No parent should ever have to feel such pain. I pray that your spirit heals and know that one day you will be reunited with them again. I’m not very religious but I am spiritual and I promise you, I used to be agnostic and very very logic based only. I’ve had a few experiences and heard many stories that have changed that for me. I still hold to logic, but I am relieved to know there really is a spiritual realm and we cannot see the whole picture of the creation. It’s what keeps me going almost days. I want to see my grandparents and the ones I’ve lost along the way again one day. I’m sure we will one day my friend. I don’t know you, but I love you, and I am sending love your way today. At the speed of light, or even better at the speed of Buckethead. God bless
Teach them the way.... I am smiling.... I wanted to teach. This is probably along the lines of what I would do also. Be sure to post today's lesson and current Pike being listened to for the kiddies! You're an awesome teacher.
The year after his parents died (within a year's gap they both passed), he released 118 albums. Yes, 118 albums. He went full mad. I wish he has help in case he needs it. I know I wouldn't be able to survive that kind of a blow.
That solo at 9:55 blows me away every time hear it. I can just feel the pain and emotion that he felt when he wrote it. Lost my mom October 5, 2022 to Leukemia. This pike has helped in some strange way. Buckethead truly knows how to speak through his music
The tracks on this CD are: 1. "N" 2. "Y" 3. "C" 4. "4" 5. "ev" 6. "er" This guy truly is a genius. I am so happy that I am alive at this time so I can listen to his great music over and over again.
I’ve been listening to Buckethead every day for seven years now. He changed my life. He is my hero. He means the world to me. Words cannot describe how much I love him and his work.
what's wild is I'm sure part of why he does what he does is to show appreciation for fans like you and me. hes able to share his art with many who find inspiration from it. any artist will tell you that's an incredibly satisfying to know people are inspired by your work. I'll never forget his performance when he came to Houston. He handed out little toys and rubber chickens to the crowd. Hes incredible. His last song he played was Nottingham Lace. I'll never forget him either bro.
That’s cool. I knew of him but I didn’t really listen to his music. I just started listening to him about a month ago and I’m totally blown away. Amazing talent
@@hab9609 Hes an example of when you stay true to your art and passion. Not selling out and not trying to placate the popular/mainstream entertainment business. He did fill in for Slash, years ago, when guns and roses were touring a while back. Axel apparently disliked him wearing that KFC bucket on his head, told him to stop wearing it effectively. Buckethead said no way Jose and the rest is history. Hes made over 250+ albums (pikes) and makes all sorts of experimental guitar arrangements. Hes one of the goats not so much for guitar skill, but for his vast array of influential music hes created over the 20+ years.
The first time I heard this masterpiece I was driving home and I was about ten minutes in. I got home and sat in the garage for another 20 min and listened all the way through. Tears in my eyes. I kept thinking of my late father but I wasn’t sure why. When I read it was dedicated to his mother it all made sense. Music is so incredibly powerful and healing. Thank you Buckethead. Your music has guided me through the darkest chapters of my life and I am eternally grateful.
My wife had the best description of him when I showed her the video I recorded at the Exit/In when I went to see him here in Nashville... When he did his Toy Exchange, she watched how he interacted with us in the audience and said "He's a boy, like a little boy" and I said "Yep, you got it!" and thats what sets him apart...He approaches life from the perspective of a Man/Child... His reality is our fantasy
I got a toy from him at his concert. I have it up on my wall with the ticket and wristband. Best show of my life, he truly loves the fans. I sat in line for HOURS to be first in line and he knows it so he gives back, even just little things but its my most prized possession. :)
Tom N Absolutely right :) That'a also why his drawings look so childish: it's like the idea of the link between the poet and the child expressed by Blake in "The Lamb" :)
5ol1dsn4ke I'm not really sure what you are saying here. BH is The Child is The Man....for someone of Buckethead's creativity, musicianship, feeling, this is how one would approach life... Have the creativity of a child but knowing the importance of an adult. No insult intended, I assure you, 5ol1dsn4ke
Tom N I saw him the last 3 times he played at the Exit/In. The second time was with That 1 Guy. I gave Buckethead a dvd of the original Carnival of Souls and he gave me a mask. He's one of a kind.
There have been great prolific composers before Bucket (Mozart, for example), and there will be more afterwards, but such people don't turn up very often.
Lost a Best friend to suicide this year, but have found peace in bucketheads music and is inspiring me to write a piece of music to remember her. Bucketheads community is so nice too!
Is because concepts like good/evil are controversial what with everybody having their own life experiences contributing to their position... But beauty? Beauty is universal.
Update, the song is coming along pretty nicely. Working on the solo a little more and need to find a decent way to record it. Not on the level of Sir Bucket but trying my hardest! Love you all, Alex!
Hey all, update is here. Currently in and out of hospital due to cancer. I have a rough recording of the song on my phone and in my head. It’s basically complete I just need a little more time to heal and find someone to record it with. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the bucketheads x
It's crazy how even after all these years this is the one that sticks out the most. To me, this is Buckethead's magnum opus. This the best and most important thing he's ever done, and he did it for his mom. Buckethead is such an incredible human
Can you hear that? That's the sound of real love. He evokes all the pain of loss, the unknowing, the flooding memories, the dream, the confusion, the understanding, and through it all the consistent heartbeat that still says: _I will never give up._ And that's just what he does, *he continues on brighter than ever.* I didn't know Nancy, but I know I'd be so proud if he were my son, and no doubt she is. I am.. inspired. Thank you Brian, thank you Nancy, and thank you Mom. ^-^
You wanna hear a song that really evoke the pain of loss and death? Listen to Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. It's regarded my MANY as one of the greatest solos ever written. On ANY instrument. The 100% true backstory is that Eddie asked George Clinton how he wanted him to play the song and George said "play it like somebody just told you your momma died". And Eddie put together that masterpiece you hear on Maggot Brain. It's incredible. Rest in Peace, Eddie Hazel 🙏❤️🎸🍄
Buckethead is a persona that is attached to a person that can shred the hell out of a guitar! The music and the persona defy conventional boundaries of the music industry while the music lifts and touches your spirit. Making it truly special and unique! Buckethead Rocks and rules a guitar.
I once had this idea of a guitar song building up to an intense flow of lick after lick, just building up until it exploded into an ever more intense burst of energy that just keeps on exploding and going on and on and on. Then I heard this one and realized Buckethead did it. Wasn't a shame really - he did it so much better than I ever could have.
Back in 1987 I went to a backyard party (maybe 50 or so guests) in Chino Calif to hear a band called the Deli Creeps with Brian Carroll on guitar (later called buckethead) he was 18 at the time and already insanely talented , I knew I was seeing someone who would become one of the greats of all time , already wearing that same jason mask back then , but no KFC bucket yet , what a show.
@@kiatipotatoeasmr8150 I was extremely disappointed with their latest release. When I heard they were actually recording another album after so many years especially after consistently telling fans and record labels no, I didn't think it was gonna be anything close to the other albums. While I love 10,000 days that album even wasn't on the level of Opiate - laturalus. Its obvious Maynard has moved on from that mindset that made Tool, Tool. Instrumentaly it's wasn't like the other way their music evolved. Just seems like it was just for a great payday for them.
"'No one calls me Brian except my mother." via Blabbermouth and according to Ozzy. What a beautiful tribute by Bucket and so many beautiful positive comments in here.
There are no words to describe this awareness of playing the guitar, the harmonic fields he uses, only he transports us to a dimension never seen before. I'm 69 years old and I only listen to Buchethead. God give him many more years to live.
Buckethead wasn't a drug addicted ahole of a musician, he has always been a kind hearted person who cared about creating beauty and treating others with respect. These are things he expresses because he came from an environment of love and care. It's a good reminder to be a good person, a kind person, so that you can inspire others to be the very best of humanity.
Its like he knows he's going to lose her and he's giving his everything for her and cant finish it all in time. It struck something for me truly insane for no words
I actually saw buckethead when he was with guns and at the time thought he was just some weirdo... I just discovered his real music, I watched/heard the interview with his therapist and am so humbled at my poor and judgmental attitude I had. What he can’t express with words he does through guitar so masterfully 🎸
I never fanboy about music and rarely comment on videos, but this piece of art is so heart touching its unbeliavable. What is this??? All day all days listening to music from different genres and instruments, yet THIS one stands apart all the rest. Its just on another level and dimension. Some humans are truly amazing wow. Thank God for giving me ears.
Zoran Lozanoski Totally agreed, one of the best ways to prove for those who say that buckethead is just a shredder without emotion, that he is an lake of feelings. This piece is pure emotion from 00:00 to 28:36, you can feel it in every note !
Fingerstyle Matt somebody said buckethead has no emotion? are they fuckin deaf?? that's like saying the ocean has no depth..of course it does! some people KILL me! whos music has emotion? niki manaj?
All these years later and I still cry even after hearing just the opening riff. Even if I try to prepare myself before pressing the play button, no use. Just knowing in the back of my head the pain he must have felt while writing this. We all know bucket's parents meant very much to him. This one just hits different.
I'd love to climb Mt Everest and play that Pike on a GIANT stereo system for the whole world to hear!!! It's too awesome to even explain with words....
+Krabman I will go to Mt Kilimanjaro and face my massive sound system towards yours and synchronize it with yours and someone should be on every major elevation point on earth doing the same. The world would crumble then melt into singularity.
Cancer took my mum the day before her 24th wedding anniversary, exactly 2 weeks before Christmas day last year. Yesterday was my first birthday without her. I'm 28, it shouldn't be this hard but instead of my birthday phone call I slept. I miss you Kaz, may you keep rocking forever.
I just turned 25 on halloween (it's Nov. 3rd 2022) I lost my mom Oct. 10th 2020, I agree it's been a hard 2 years..hell my mom died 2 weeks after her 47th bday and my brother's 18th birthday was September 23rd (mom's was the 25th) it's been rough on us warthog cancer kill her over a 2 year period, Godspeed mom
Yeah, I believe they just let him be his weird self and supported him the entire way. As a fan I'm equally grateful to his family for letting him be, as I am him for his astonishing gifts.
I'm 70 years old. My Mom died of cancer almost 51 years ago and suffered incredible pain for months that was not assuaged by high doses of opiate drugs. There is no God. Death was a blessing and a mercy. I cried like a baby while listening to this all the way through. Thank you Buckethead for your showing us your naked soul and sharing this masterpiece with the world.
@@james-os1yt How do you know there is a "God", and how do you know that blessings only come from this "God"? If you make such claims, shouldn't you be able to show some evidence to back up your claims? This isn't just about my Mom. Your "God" allows little children to suffer and die from terrible diseases EVERY DAY! The only excuse for your "God" and the crimes he commits, is that he doesn't exist. And by the way, death IS a blessing. Living forever with a bunch of self righteous, judgmental, hypocritical Christians would be the worst kind of hell imaginable.
@@james-os1yt because while you are alive you can suffer a lot, and if your deity exists it doesnt seem to care. Death=Brain not working, brain not working=no nervous system, no nervous system=no pain. For anyone to believe that anything comes from any deity, the notion of it existing must be justified, because blessings can come from your god just as thunder and lightning can come from zeus and thor or fairydust can come from tinkerbell.
Jump on a four wheeler or ATV on a single track trail through the forest with this blaring and tell me you don't enter a mystic portal. Literally the only song I've ever listen to in 58 years every single day for four months and never cut it off halfway through
I just lost my Dad today. It was only natural that I play this album to help me work some emotions out. Do yourself a favor and hug your parents, tell them how much they mean to you, and take time out of your day to spend some quality time with them and have some real fun with them.
Thank you for the condolences. I am better these days. Still hurting, and was diagnosed with anxiety dissorder because of how shaken I was by his loss. But, I'm working through everything very slowly. One day at a time. I forgot I made this comment on this video... I'm glad I did! Thanks for checking on me :)
Kay Kumpf - I actually think about this quite frequently. Running around with my head cutoff with work/life that sometimes I forget how short life is. Most of us are climbing in a panic state, trying to figure out where we belong or who we even are, that we forget to pay attention to the most important aspect of life. FAMILY. Mom and Dad, Brothers and Sisters. After all the bullshit we go through and all the friends we meet, family will always be there. Thank you for reminding me to cherish the moments I have with my family while we're all still here and healthy. To be honest, tripping on psilocybin always makes me want to go home and hug my Mom and Dad for everything they've done for me and all they've sacrificed. I can't wait to be a parent someday.
A year has passed. I hope life is going forward for you. There are many, many beautiful Buckethead songs for all music tastes. Listen to them and it will make you feel (a little bit) better.
Literally Bucket's best album ever. No other piece of music has ever given me goosebumps so big as part 22:04-22:16. Dont even remember the amount of times I've gotten emotional over that part, it's just perfect.
This man is a genius. Great to see so many positive comments. I'm 70 years old and still cry when thinking of my mom. When I think of being beat 3 or 4 times a day aways makes me cry. Play good stuff- Play Buckethead.
Lost my mum in 2019. Been listening to this song ever since then, every few days. It takes me on a rollercoaster ride. The good times, the bad times. The smiles whenever I did something nice. The pride she used to feel when I won a medal or an award for anything, and then, the yelling when I didn't do my homework on time or when I was on the phone for too long. The advice that i so badly need in my life now but have nobody to turn to. When nothing else makes sense in my life, this music makes me want to continue living. I wish I could express my thoughts in words the way you can express via a guitar. Thank you Buckethead for sharing your music with us. Thank you Nancy Carroll for giving us Buckethead.
My grandmother passed away today and i cant even attend the funeral its so painful and depressing to be in this position.. Thank you buckethead for healing me and helping me coup
Too many kids grow up rebelling against their parents, I get it, it's part of life to be self determining, I didn't really appreciate my parents until I had my own son and thank God I was able to give back to them and let them know before it was too late. Moms and Dad's aren't perfect either but would run into any danger to help their kids.
Holy shit. That's all I can say when I hear something like this. It's so earnest, so sincere and so emotional. An utterly moving tribute to someone you know he loved very much. You can feel it. He makes the guitar say more than words ever possibly could.
There have been a few so called guitar GODS and I've studied quite a few in my 60 plus years but bucket head sits on the throne with very few others in the same room.
I posted here this masterpiece 4 years ago. But I also lost my mother 18 days ago, the pain and sadness is bad, I completely understand the sadness of Buckethead. Rest in peace, Mom!

Sorry to hear, but hang in there, bucket-buddy... Just put up the volume on this one and let it all out... Merry XMas!
May you find peace, friend.
My condolences, may you find strength and peace

Buckethead is a Genre. When some asks me what type of music do I listen to, my answer is, Buckethead
Everyone asks "Why does Buckethead never speak?"
He does. THIS is how he speaks to us. Guitar is his language.
He speaks through herbert / head puppet
Facts
Whats beautiful is the language of music is universal and regardless of what language anyone speaks they can understand this song
Adding vocals to music was a mistake anyways!
Be silent and the earth will hear. Be loud and be ignored.😅

A very startling comment, from someone who has listened to a lot of music.
Free Bird: **5 min guitar solo*
Buckethead: "hold my beer."
hahahaha, that made me lol. Yeah 5 min guitar solo? I'll do my entire career solo, you pansie! haha.
I used to literally pick songs on the jukebox that would go forever and that song was one of them. There's also an 18 minute Led Zeppelin song
Behind that mask is one of the most loving, wonderful, musical, empathetic, human, inspirational, and talented persons on this planet. Thanks Brian!

So true
Patience is a lost art. I think it's safe to say that Buckethead is a musical prodigy/genius and that Hold Me Forever is more like a fully realized symphony than merely great Rock and Roll. The way it builds tension throughout, and that it has recurring themes, gives the impression of being created by a classical composer. If Rock and Roll is your religion, Buckethead is a GOD. His mom must have been really special, to have this dedicated to her.
Coming back two years later it astounds me how much there is in just this song.
16:52 The happy riffs are probably about the joyful and innocent moments he had with his mom.
this almost made me shed a tear
@@TheBigHaus tearing hard right now
Or lessons D
Buckethead may be one of the few artists who can produce an insane amount of Quantity without sacrificing Quality.
Micah Buzan Eh... I'd say he's sacrificed at least some quality...
+Aashman Vyas wut....................
Eldritch Interface A lot of his more obscure albums are just experimentation, and it's not always good.

+Aashman Vyas it's just "experimentation"
He couldn't stop playing even at the end of the song. Its like he doesn't want to let go of her mother. That what we called true love. 😥😥

That's what I felt too. And around 24:46 feels like he's calling out for her. I always get teary eyed toward the end.
the fact that this is an homage to his mother is amazing
You can hear all the emotions he felt when his mother passed away in this album.

remotenightowl THE FELLING IS MUTUAL R.I.P. Mrs CARROL !
Dear Buckethead,
I feel your humor
I feel your sadness
I feel your intensity
I feel your satire
You are a true artist
All the layers and textures
I can see the paintings in my mind
Your tentacles are notes of power
You are a product of all music has to prosper
The complexity of your mind!!
The perfect blend of rhythms and melodys
I understand it all
I respect all the masters and innovators of wood and wire
But you are the GOAT
Exactly! Cheers
👏 ✊
When my 13 year old son was killed,buckethead kept my head together. Thank u so much! As a guitarist i have so much respect for you!!! And thank u for helping me
Keep strong my friend 💪🏼
And listening to Buckethead 🎶🎶🎶
so sorry for your loss./ I cannot imagine the pain. I hope you and your family are pulling through. Find strength in Buckethead. I definitely go to him when I am stressed out or anxious and it seems to calm me a lot.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm also very happy when I hear that Buckethead helps you, he helps me too, always. I hope you continue to get along, such paths are never easy and the same. be strong my dear and stay strong forever, god bless you
As a father, fellow guitarist and fellow Buckethead fan, my deepest condolences I am very very sorry for your loss. This comment truly hit me hard and broke me a little bit I am crying this morning reading this.
Brother, may all of life’s healing and blessings come to you. I am so sorry. No parent should ever have to feel such pain. I pray that your spirit heals and know that one day you will be reunited with them again.
I’m not very religious but I am spiritual and I promise you, I used to be agnostic and very very logic based only. I’ve had a few experiences and heard many stories that have changed that for me. I still hold to logic, but I am relieved to know there really is a spiritual realm and we cannot see the whole picture of the creation. It’s what keeps me going almost days. I want to see my grandparents and the ones I’ve lost along the way again one day. I’m sure we will one day my friend. I don’t know you, but I love you, and I am sending love your way today. At the speed of light, or even better at the speed of Buckethead. God bless
what the fuck
I am a high school math teacher. I play Buckethead in class during web based math assignments. This one is currently playing. \m/
Teach them the way.... I am smiling.... I wanted to teach. This is probably along the lines of what I would do also.
Be sure to post today's lesson and current Pike being listened to for the kiddies! You're an awesome teacher.
How do the kids react?
Honestly I would not complete my studies as would close my eyes and escape to bucketland.
Coolest math teacher in the world. Sharing the buckethead saga with youngsters. Thats awesome.
I usually hate maths but with this music I think it could be easy

when most people suffer loss, they turn to drugs and alcohol, whereas BH just shreds it out
Why do you speak the truth?? 😟😟😟
True i turn to s deep buckethead song
Yep, he's completely sober doesn't even drink caffeine. True Story.
The year after his parents died (within a year's gap they both passed), he released 118 albums. Yes, 118 albums. He went full mad. I wish he has help in case he needs it. I know I wouldn't be able to survive that kind of a blow.
Leo N.A. Yeah you're right man, I turn to drugs, alcohol, and Buckethead!!!! Works EVERY time 🤣🤙
the more I listen to him, the more I realize how transcendental his music is
Right
very.
The wailing at 24:30 that turns into shredding feels so painful.
Thank you, Nancy York Carroll, for giving us Buckethead.

BUCKETHEAD a genre on his own!
@@levisalvini4110 yes
Possibly even Alchemy, , , his music is in it's own realm for sure, genre's boundaries don't exist there
@@levisalvini4110 yes
he is at a higher level. Master.
I feel so safe here. I can just close my eyes and have no worries anymore.
The number of awesome riffs on this track would be enough to build 3 or 4 sucessful albums of a rock/metal band.
how could someone create a twenty eight freaking long instrumental and every second has so much feeling in it
It's called being bucket head
28 minute*
Check out his other 200+ albums
That's what genius is...
It's called love.
Rest Peacefully Mrs.Carroll.Your son is an awesome performer.
Twilight Symphony I guess im not the only Disturbed fan who loves Buckethead :p
And a decent and grateful human being.
Dan Donegan. The Night.
This is not just a melody, its a journey, his journey till his mom left, i mean how can anyone not like this.
That solo at 9:55 blows me away every time hear it. I can just feel the pain and emotion that he felt when he wrote it. Lost my mom October 5, 2022 to Leukemia. This pike has helped in some strange way. Buckethead truly knows how to speak through his music
yeah that solo does it for me to so beautiful
And people think shredding means it has no emotion... 65,000 notes and more depth of emotion in that solo than any other music I've heard...
The tracks on this CD are:
1. "N"
2. "Y"
3. "C"
4. "4"
5. "ev"
6. "er"
This guy truly is a genius. I am so happy that I am alive at this time so I can listen to his great music over and over again.
thought NYC was new york city for a moment
K4inan K4inan NYC is for his mom🤖
Musically yes he is a genius. But naming songs like that isin't really that genius in the slightest.

Brian Carroll if you read this, we love you! Thank you for expressing yourself like this and changing our lives ♥
Only a few in the world were lucky to run into buckethead's music in our lives...
Buckethead is the Mozart of guitar.
True
Mozart?? jaja... Buckethead is the Mozart Bach Bethoveen Rachmaninoff prokofiev etc etc etc of guitar.
Lizt, Chopin. Todos y mas.
BrunetteTargaryen well Paganini was the violinist of hell so wouldnt buckethead be the guitarrist fromthe coop
take everything thats good in music and thats buckethead
I can't believe someone even conceived this let alone brought it out of a guitar. Legendary.
YES
I’ve been listening to Buckethead every day for seven years now. He changed my life. He is my hero. He means the world to me. Words cannot describe how much I love him and his work.
what's wild is I'm sure part of why he does what he does is to show appreciation for fans like you and me.
hes able to share his art with many who find inspiration from it. any artist will tell you that's an incredibly satisfying to know people are inspired by your work.
I'll never forget his performance when he came to Houston. He handed out little toys and rubber chickens to the crowd. Hes incredible. His last song he played was Nottingham Lace. I'll never forget him either bro.
That’s cool. I knew of him but I didn’t really listen to his music. I just started listening to him about a month ago and I’m totally blown away. Amazing talent
@@hab9609 Hes an example of when you stay true to your art and passion. Not selling out and not trying to placate the popular/mainstream entertainment business.
He did fill in for Slash, years ago, when guns and roses were touring a while back. Axel apparently disliked him wearing that KFC bucket on his head, told him to stop wearing it effectively. Buckethead said no way Jose and the rest is history.
Hes made over 250+ albums (pikes) and makes all sorts of experimental guitar arrangements. Hes one of the goats not so much for guitar skill, but for his vast array of influential music hes created over the 20+ years.
@@robosing225 Oh that guy is extremely skillful.

I don't understand....
Sarang tamirisa These are the names of the individual tracks
The first time I heard this masterpiece I was driving home and I was about ten minutes in. I got home and sat in the garage for another 20 min and listened all the way through. Tears in my eyes. I kept thinking of my late father but I wasn’t sure why. When I read it was dedicated to his mother it all made sense. Music is so incredibly powerful and healing. Thank you Buckethead. Your music has guided me through the darkest chapters of my life and I am eternally grateful.
You can quite literally hear his mom in this. This is the most amazing trib I've ever heard. ❤
wow, i was thinking the same thing .
@@normanhowe4938 i think i hear a back track of his mom speaking.
My wife had the best description of him when I showed her the video I recorded at the Exit/In when I went to see him here in Nashville... When he did his Toy Exchange, she watched how he interacted with us in the audience and said "He's a boy, like a little boy" and I said "Yep, you got it!" and thats what sets him apart...He approaches life from the perspective of a Man/Child... His reality is our fantasy
I got a toy from him at his concert. I have it up on my wall with the ticket and wristband. Best show of my life, he truly loves the fans. I sat in line for HOURS to be first in line and he knows it so he gives back, even just little things but its my most prized possession. :)
Tom N Absolutely right :) That'a also why his drawings look so childish: it's like the idea of the link between the poet and the child expressed by Blake in "The Lamb" :)
5ol1dsn4ke I'm not really sure what you are saying here. BH is The Child is The Man....for someone of Buckethead's creativity, musicianship, feeling, this is how one would approach life... Have the creativity of a child but knowing the importance of an adult. No insult intended, I assure you, 5ol1dsn4ke
Tom N I saw him the last 3 times he played at the Exit/In. The second time was with That 1 Guy. I gave Buckethead a dvd of the original Carnival of Souls and he gave me a mask. He's one of a kind.
Carl H So cool that you have had the honor of seeing BH 3x! I hope we will once again experience the genius that is Buckethead here in Nashville!
People like Brian are born once a millenium, I cherish this shit
he could be so popular if he wanted to, wonder if he has any regrets
@@aqua47flawless43 Probably not, he's in the spot where he prefers to be. No paparazzi, nobody trying to unmask him.
I don't think there'll ever be another one like Buckethead in the history of the human race gonna be honest. He's truly one of a kind
There have been great prolific composers before Bucket (Mozart, for example), and there will be more afterwards, but such people don't turn up very often.
What do u mean he could be popular if he wanted to?
He is very popular for his audience..
Only just started listening to Buckethead at 67 years of age, I'm blown away, looks like this is my go to guy when I finally reach the rest home...
Lost a Best friend to suicide this year, but have found peace in bucketheads music and is inspiring me to write a piece of music to remember her. Bucketheads community is so nice too!
Is because concepts like good/evil are controversial what with everybody having their own life experiences contributing to their position... But beauty? Beauty is universal.
Update, the song is coming along pretty nicely. Working on the solo a little more and need to find a decent way to record it. Not on the level of Sir Bucket but trying my hardest! Love you all, Alex!
@@AlexCoombes123 How is it going now?
@@AlexCoombes123 we need an update!
Hey all, update is here. Currently in and out of hospital due to cancer. I have a rough recording of the song on my phone and in my head. It’s basically complete I just need a little more time to heal and find someone to record it with. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the bucketheads x
It's crazy how even after all these years this is the one that sticks out the most. To me, this is Buckethead's magnum opus. This the best and most important thing he's ever done, and he did it for his mom. Buckethead is such an incredible human
It is. Pretty sure it's considered his best work. Period.
Very well put, I completely agree
Long live Buckethead
Pikes #13 is his magnum opus.
absolutely his magnum opus. I come back and listen to this every now and then. Easily my favorite Pike. Maybe my favorite song of all time.
Agreed. If I could show one album it would probably be this one
Can you hear that?
That's the sound of real love. He evokes all the pain of loss, the unknowing, the flooding memories, the dream, the confusion, the understanding, and through it all the consistent heartbeat that still says: _I will never give up._ And that's just what he does, *he continues on brighter than ever.* I didn't know Nancy, but I know I'd be so proud if he were my son, and no doubt she is.
I am.. inspired. Thank you Brian, thank you Nancy, and thank you Mom. ^-^
You wanna hear a song that really evoke the pain of loss and death? Listen to Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. It's regarded my MANY as one of the greatest solos ever written. On ANY instrument.
The 100% true backstory is that Eddie asked George Clinton how he wanted him to play the song and George said "play it like somebody just told you your momma died". And Eddie put together that masterpiece you hear on Maggot Brain. It's incredible.
Rest in Peace, Eddie Hazel 🙏❤️🎸🍄
"No one calls me Brian except my mom" - Buckethead
i hear that
Buckethead is a persona that is attached to a person that can shred the hell out of a guitar! The music and the persona defy conventional boundaries of the music industry while the music lifts and touches your spirit. Making it truly special and unique! Buckethead Rocks and rules a guitar.
@@blazer6248 Eddie hazel is also GOD saT
I once had this idea of a guitar song building up to an intense flow of lick after lick, just building up until it exploded into an ever more intense burst of energy that just keeps on exploding and going on and on and on.
Then I heard this one and realized Buckethead did it. Wasn't a shame really - he did it so much better than I ever could have.
I only learned of Buckethead yesterday, God damn, he's amazing.
enjoy, you have a lot of awesome music to discover!
you wont be bored for years he has so much damn music
I discovered him like, half an hour ago. My life got a 100% better in thirty minutes.
Back in 1987 I went to a backyard party (maybe 50 or so guests) in Chino Calif to hear a band called the Deli Creeps with Brian Carroll on guitar (later called buckethead) he was 18 at the time and already insanely talented , I knew I was seeing someone who would become one of the greats of all time , already wearing that same jason mask back then , but no KFC bucket yet , what a show.
WOW!
So Brian was born around 1969. Wow!
You lucky SOAB!
@@DanzigFan-vq3zf 1964.
Michael Myers mask, but who cares what mask it is
I would retire after this song😆. There's nothing left over to reach musically. He has reached the holy grail of a composition. Thanks dear BucketGod!
I’m hearing ya! It’s pretty fkn unbelievable eh!
I think he has essentially not topped the cacophonous grooves which he laid down in this song.
The most beatutiful songs I've heard in my entire life.
Buckethead is the only guitarist who literally composes guitar work in the same way a classical pianist plays compositions
You should listen to Tool
@@kiatipotatoeasmr8150 I have I don’t think whatsoever that they are in the same level as senor bucket
Writing it down on a music sheet? Jason Becker is better
@@DeMarisM difference of opinions my friend
@@kiatipotatoeasmr8150
I was extremely disappointed with their latest release. When I heard they were actually recording another album after so many years especially after consistently telling fans and record labels no, I didn't think it was gonna be anything close to the other albums. While I love 10,000 days that album even wasn't on the level of Opiate - laturalus. Its obvious Maynard has moved on from that mindset that made Tool, Tool. Instrumentaly it's wasn't like the other way their music evolved.
Just seems like it was just for a great payday for them.
"'No one calls me Brian except my mother." via Blabbermouth and according to Ozzy.
What a beautiful tribute by Bucket and so many beautiful positive comments in here.
damn this is a beautiful song. if this doesn't make you feel something you're dead inside.
The beautiful part is that you will feel something even if you haven't felt anything in ages.
Well guess I'm dead. Although I highly appreciate his melodies, groove and technique
i was alive
There are no words to describe this awareness of playing the guitar, the harmonic fields he uses, only he transports us to a dimension never seen before. I'm 69 years old and I only listen to Buchethead. God give him many more years to live.
I agree
Buckethead wasn't a drug addicted ahole of a musician, he has always been a kind hearted person who cared about creating beauty and treating others with respect. These are things he expresses because he came from an environment of love and care. It's a good reminder to be a good person, a kind person, so that you can inspire others to be the very best of humanity.
Its like he knows he's going to lose her and he's giving his everything for her and cant finish it all in time. It struck something for me truly insane for no words
There's definitely anger in this combined with intense love for his mom. You can hear him crying out for her
Ok... this comment hits. I hear it.
*THIS SONG SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED "HOLD ME FOREVER"*
@@eke6375 hmm....
I actually saw buckethead when he was with guns and at the time thought he was just some weirdo... I just discovered his real music, I watched/heard the interview with his therapist and am so humbled at my poor and judgmental attitude I had. What he can’t express with words he does through guitar so masterfully 🎸
I never fanboy about music and rarely comment on videos, but this piece of art is so heart touching its unbeliavable. What is this??? All day all days listening to music from different genres and instruments, yet THIS one stands apart all the rest. Its just on another level and dimension. Some humans are truly amazing wow. Thank God for giving me ears.

I am from Macedonia, Kicevo town.
Zoran Lozanoski Totally agreed, one of the best ways to prove for those who say that buckethead is just a shredder without emotion, that he is an lake of feelings. This piece is pure emotion from 00:00 to 28:36, you can feel it in every note !
Fingerstyle Matt Totally, I've heard this for first time today and it makes me cry right now
Fingerstyle Matt somebody said buckethead has no emotion? are they fuckin deaf?? that's like saying the ocean has no depth..of course it does! some people KILL me! whos music has emotion? niki manaj?
All these years later and I still cry even after hearing just the opening riff. Even if I try to prepare myself before pressing the play button, no use. Just knowing in the back of my head the pain he must have felt while writing this. We all know bucket's parents meant very much to him. This one just hits different.
this one will never NOT make me cry, it truly is that powerful.
damn I realized you're right and started tearing up while reading your comment. Peace and love brotha
Lord thank my uncle for showing me this music before he passed!
I'm just gonna say it this is probably the best thing I've ever heard.

Absofuckinglutely - nothing compares to be honest.............
At 15:00
I'm 70 years old. My Mom died of cancer almost 51 years ago and suffered incredible pain for months that was not assuaged by high doses of opiate drugs. There is no God. Death was a blessing and a mercy. I cried like a baby while listening to this all the way through. Thank you Buckethead for your showing us your naked soul and sharing this masterpiece with the world.
God is here ,he will come back one day for christans I'll pray for you and your family, Mr Brian as i know him will be the best guitarist on earth
How can you say "there is no God," and "Death was a blessing" in the same sentence? blessings only come from God...
@@james-os1yt How do you know there is a "God", and how do you know that blessings only come from this "God"? If you make such claims, shouldn't you be able to show some evidence to back up your claims? This isn't just about my Mom. Your "God" allows little children to suffer and die from terrible diseases EVERY DAY! The only excuse for your "God" and the crimes he commits, is that he doesn't exist. And by the way, death IS a blessing. Living forever with a bunch of self righteous, judgmental, hypocritical Christians would be the worst kind of hell imaginable.
@@sgrafton4824 god is where and why believe that? why believe it exists in the first place?
@@james-os1yt because while you are alive you can suffer a lot, and if your deity exists it doesnt seem to care. Death=Brain not working, brain not working=no nervous system, no nervous system=no pain.
For anyone to believe that anything comes from any deity, the notion of it existing must be justified, because blessings can come from your god just as thunder and lightning can come from zeus and thor or fairydust can come from tinkerbell.

Im very sorry to hear about your loss. Just checking, hows it going? Lots of love and strength from Germany :)
Thank you for the condolences. I am better these days. Still hurting, and was diagnosed with anxiety dissorder because of how shaken I was by his loss. But, I'm working through everything very slowly. One day at a time. I forgot I made this comment on this video... I'm glad I did! Thanks for checking on me :)
Hope you feeling better by now.
Kay Kumpf - I actually think about this quite frequently. Running around with my head cutoff with work/life that sometimes I forget how short life is. Most of us are climbing in a panic state, trying to figure out where we belong or who we even are, that we forget to pay attention to the most important aspect of life. FAMILY. Mom and Dad, Brothers and Sisters. After all the bullshit we go through and all the friends we meet, family will always be there. Thank you for reminding me to cherish the moments I have with my family while we're all still here and healthy. To be honest, tripping on psilocybin always makes me want to go home and hug my Mom and Dad for everything they've done for me and all they've sacrificed. I can't wait to be a parent someday.
A year has passed. I hope life is going forward for you. There are many, many beautiful Buckethead songs for all music tastes. Listen to them and it will make you feel (a little bit) better.
Literally Bucket's best album ever. No other piece of music has ever given me goosebumps so big as part 22:04-22:16. Dont even remember the amount of times I've gotten emotional over that part, it's just perfect.
I never comment on videos, but this song is amazing. He is incredible.

I know your pain my friend😢
So much soul in this one... Doesnt surprise me its dedicated to his mom... Definitely worthy....
Lost my mum in 2019. Been listening to this song ever since then, every few days. It takes me on a rollercoaster ride. The good times, the bad times. The smiles whenever I did something nice. The pride she used to feel when I won a medal or an award for anything, and then, the yelling when I didn't do my homework on time or when I was on the phone for too long.
The advice that i so badly need in my life now but have nobody to turn to. When nothing else makes sense in my life, this music makes me want to continue living. I wish I could express my thoughts in words the way you can express via a guitar. Thank you Buckethead for sharing your music with us. Thank you Nancy Carroll for giving us Buckethead.
Sorry for your loss mate. Stay strong
The way he plays lead never bore me... he is amazing!

Too many kids grow up rebelling against their parents, I get it, it's part of life to be self determining, I didn't really appreciate my parents until I had my own son and thank God I was able to give back to them and let them know before it was too late. Moms and Dad's aren't perfect either but would run into any danger to help their kids.
This should be the gold standard by which all guitar instrumentals are held up to
Bruh....if that were the case then ain't too many making the cut. Ya feel me
@@jamesreynolds3759 true
If everything just is just sucking, listen to buckethead, It sooths your soul and makes you feel good. Rock on BH
honestly so true
this dude is unreal man. truly, it's brought tears to my eyes.
Loh Pro I agree - absolutely phenomenal playing. Is he actually of this earth.......
Take him a gift to the next show. Walk right up there
Absolutely I don't blame you
Holy shit. That's all I can say when I hear something like this. It's so earnest, so sincere and so emotional. An utterly moving tribute to someone you know he loved very much. You can feel it. He makes the guitar say more than words ever possibly could.
true
+J Vega truely the best
"moving tribute", you are right about moving; the whole album drives insanity mode :)
every head must bow every tongue must confess buckethead is the greatest of all

@@sauzeeee yeah it's only fitting
AND DESERVING
Listening to the song and read "In memory of my mom Nancy York Carroll" made me cry, thanks Nancy for your beautiful contribution to the world.
There have been a few so called guitar GODS and I've studied quite a few in my 60 plus years but bucket head sits on the throne with very few others in the same room.
Jimmy Page is definitely there.
@@red_response agreed. Steve Vai, Tim Reynolds, David Gilmore, and a few others are there. I love music
@@logandogan272 Me Too, fella
John frusciante would be the newest member I suppose
Dime is there
