He wears the bucket and mask because he has severe anxiety, and wearing the whole mask and bucket is the only way he can go out and do what he loves! Truly an iconic, makes some of the greatest music I’ve ever heard
@Frozen Pizza They kicked him out! Buckethead can play guitar better than anyone ever and they kicked him out because he was making the popular guitar players look bad.
Thanks for the info! Maybe he joined for the experience and intended to leave from the beginning or maybe they paid him like 10 grand a night and he signed up for that cash.
@Frozen Pizza every word true, he is a Mozart of sorts. He's true to his craft in the same way that Rory Gallagher was, unconcerned with notions of fame and fortune, it was all about the music, the audience and his fans.
Soothsayer is a real emotional one for Buckethead, it's dedicated to his late Aunt Suzie who actually bought him and gave him his first guitar aged 12. When she passed, he wrote Soothsayer for her as a means to tribute her and thank her for setting him on his life's path.
@@L3monSqueezy Personally prefer this live version though. Of course the emotions are still there when recording, but it's a whole different level in this for me. You can FEEL the emotion in each strum, each pull, each hammer on, etc.
Anybody can get up on stage with a guitar and a bucket on his head and be a fool, but only a genius can do that and deliver a performance you’ll never forget 🎸⚡️
I saw him as part of Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston almost 20 years ago. He played an incredible solo of the Star Wars theme. The weirdest part was when he put on a realistic, but over sized, Michael Jackson mask and the started doing the robot. He’s so tall and lanky it was just strange, but the show was incredible
Nah man, you can't compare Buckethead with Slash. Slash is a classic rock guitarist, and his background is deeply rooted in working with vocalists. His riffs and solos are crafted to complement and enhance the vocals. Big B, on the other hand, is a fulltime-devoted solo guitarist. He's literally a guitar scientist, so of course he's a better guitar player than Slash.
Just FYI, from Wikipedia: "Buckethead has released 30 regular solo albums, as well as 294 albums in the "Pikes Series", for 325 albums overall." The guy has been a machine when it comes to making music. Many of his songs are in this legato style, with the interspersed shredding. It's definitely music for a mood. I like listening to it at work. Since it is instrumental, it doesn't affect my ability to read and write reports.
Buckethead is one of the most skilled guitarists to ever live, he's entertaining in general but if you've ever played guitar or any other instrument, you really get blown away extra by how clean his playing is. Dude is playing with high gain so mistakes will be way more noticeable, and he's playing in the dark with a mask on and he still kills it, what a legend.
I'm more of a jazz fusion player, and never thought I'd see a guitar 'god' again to be fair. Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth made me want to quit, Pat Metheney's harmonic knowledge and skill is truly sublime and scares me to this day, George Benson can groove like a demon, but Buckethead is such a fascinating guy with unbelievable skills and has the added 'cool' factor [which totally came about by accident], so I guess I was wrong. Buckethead. The Last Guitar Hero.
Buckethead is a really strange dude, but he's a legit musical genius. He's got about 400 albums (yes, albums!) and his music spans everything from metal to easy listening and just about anything in between. But as great as his technical skills are, his compositional skills are perhaps even greater. He has so much great music it's ridiculous. He's the GOAT!
@@holliswilliams8426 Absolutely. I don't care much for many of his weird, dissonant, experimental type stuff (and he has a lot of it), but he's got so many really good ones. Poseidon is probably my favorite of all. I've never heard a rock instrumental by anyone else that can compare.
Cartier Family, never saw your channel but can’t tell you how happy this made me. Buckethead is a true genius of our time. All he does is make music and doesn’t speak (much) He has over 400 albums and worked with System of a Down, Primus, Steve Vai, Bootsy Collins, chilled with Snoop Dogg, done music for Dragon Ball Z, Power Rangers, Ghosts of Mars, video games, etc. I am so glad you guys found him because he has thousands of songs. You guys just found enough music to last the rest of your life LOL! He covers all kinds of genres even hip hop, he LOVES Wu Tang Clan! He is my favorite guitarists of all time. I play guitar, he is like a super hero to me and my kids love him too. He can say more with a guitar than most can with words. Subscribed! Check out his other stuff it’s so damn epic. You can’t pick a wrong song to hear it’s amazing !
At 67 years old, BH has become my favorite musician. He is literally a national treasure, and his fans appreciate him for his humanity as much as for his skills. Thanks for sharing this. Do a deep dive some time and find yourself in awe.
As a guitar player, its always reassuring when a non-player audience is so impressed with something before it even gets to the solo like when you guys were at 2 mins. We're always in so much awe of eachother and over critical of ourselves that we forget that just strumming a few melodic notes can be impressive to people. Glad you guys enjoyed that. Buckethead is a legend and carved his own lane in the game.
Some of the most beautiful playing is slow. It's art, not athletics. Nice to be able to let rip sometimes though, but to be able to do it so effortlessly, and with passion, takes more work than most people are prepared to put in. I've done my 10,000 hours [and I'm pretty agile] but I'm not even close. Then again who is? Enjoy him while you can. He has heart problems as a result of the intense anxiety he suffers. He's had 2 heart operations already. 😪
Buckethead always makes his shredding look so simple but man the endurance and stamina and accuracy you have to have to shred that long and hit all the right notes is tough! My fingers would be cramping and bleeding 😂You know you have mastered something that difficult when you make it look easy
I've seen him more than 20 times. He robot dances, moonwalks, and gives out toys to people in the front row. He's 6 ft 8 and never talks while in the Buckethead persona. You mentioned Slash - Buckethead was with Guns 'n Roses for four years and completed 9 of the 12 tracks on the Chinese Democracy album. He is from California and has recorded over 400 solo albums, as well as projects with approximately 80 other artists/groups.
This guy is a guitar legend. It's hard to find anyone at all more in touch or capable with his guitar. This dude can "sing" with a guitar. I saw him live a few years ago and it's a whole experience, highly recommend checking out everything you can by the dude. \m/
Y'all cool peeps. Open minded and sharing vibes from all tribes. I am gonna follow and watch you guys critique all the game because this is what makes life great. Keep it real and keep digging for more talent. Peace
Buckethead is a legit artist, he has a real name obviously but Buckethead is the character he created over 30 years ago and has created a whole lore around the character. He's never been interested in fame or fortune and damn near invented the style that he's been rocking for decades and his catalogue of over 50 albums spans a wide variety of musical genres, which he makes basically all by himself. The dude is a prodigy and plays the guitar like he breathes air. Probably one of the greatest, most unique musicians to ever touch a guitar, even if the music isn't for everyone 👍 Check out "Nottingham Lace" "Jordan" or my personal favourite "Buckethead - the early years" which is one of the earliest videos of him in 1991 playing in the backyard to his friends and family! Much love, keep it up! edit: He played for Guns n Roses on one tour when Axl Rose was running the band iirc. Eddie Van Halen was also a big influence of Buckethead obviously, being one of the og 80s tap guitarists
Over 50 albums? Well over 350 albums, actually. Pike #351 was just released today (although the 25+ pikes released over the past two months have all been live compilations). Anyway, just an absurd amount of fantastic material he's created.
Are you pumping his lore? Just kidding, I actually found about about bucket head when I was dj'ing of all things. No one could ignore these insane sounds and riffs this dude made.
Thank you guys for doing this.He is the goat. He just recently had all his guitars stolen what a shame.check out "enter the chicken" his album with all the singers.
This is a what a true musical genius looks like, mastered his craft, technical and composition. DUDE RIPS...he has a huge library of fucking jams to vibe too
Hell yeah! So glad you reacted to Buckethead! He is the GOAT! Listen to Jordan Live at the culture room next! Amazing song! It's dedicated to Michael Jordan, he's a big fan! Great reaction
Buckethead is amazing! Saw him in concert twice. Colma is an amazing album with soothing, beautiful music. Giant Robot will blow you away, so much fun!!
Cartier Family, I like hanging out with you cats! That's what watching your videos feels like, just hanging out. Buckethead is a genius-level artist with a HUGE catalog of studio and live albums, the total count stands at well over 300 albums at the time of this writing. I've got to hip you guys to another genius-level guitarist - Eric Gales. He's a left-handed player, but unlike 99% of left handers who either play a left-handed guitar or string a right-handed guitar upside down (like Hendrix did), Gales plays a right-handed guitar upside down. If you like Stevie Ray Vaughan, you'll like this dude. Anything live clip you find will be great, but I strongly recommend the "Voodoo Child/Kashmir/Back In Black Medley".
Buckethead is the shit! He's as humble as can be and has played and produced for many bands. My husband loves this guy and introduced me to him. His fingers doe!.... 😆
What I love about Musicians like Buckethead is that there is no need for lyrics, the music makes you feel the lyrics instead. You fill it with your own imagination
🎉 Yes I’ve been commenting on every video 😂 But I love these songs you chose to listen to ❤These songs bring back so many memories ❤ And actually he’s my son’s favorite guitarist ❤ There’s so much feeling in this. Purely amazing ❤
This was one of my childhood musical inspirations and he is the reason i learned to play guitar. My older brother and I learned lots of his songs while learning to play
I'm legit convinced that his guitar is just a second half of him. Listening to his Pike albums and normal albums all together, it seems like he just spends his time in some cave just playing constantly, his work ethic is legitimately insane. He once turned down an offer to work with Ozzy Osbourne because Ozzy wanted him to take the bucket off.
If you ever read Ozzy's memoirs, I Am Ozzy, he mentions this briefly and hilariously. Something along the lines of "I asked him to take the bucket off, then when I came back he'd taken off the bucket and put on a fucking green martian's hat! He plays like a motherfucker, though."
Guys many versions of a song called "Scraps",,,the live version from 96' will show you his improvisational skills...he flexes hard & you know you've seen something special !
4:21 ...not yet....lol. The guy is really amazing, even though he does a lot of very fast, albeit unique, solos. If he starts touring again, and he ever goes through your area, you wouldn't be disappointed if you went to one of his shows.
To be fair he's a fucking fantastic, nay incredible guitar player. He appears strange because he suffers from severe anxiety, so does his best to hide it. The bucket is a joke, but the mask isn't.
Buckethead is one of the best ever, he made a song called "Jordan" to be the hardest song on Guitar Hero 2 But if you're looking for more guitarists then Steve Vai's "Tender Surrender" is one of the best guitar performances ever
Some of the live performances with Les Claypool are pure gold, such as Col. Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. There is a clip called Buckethead Dueling Banjos which is really Buckethead doing freestyle bluegrass on a Flying V. He's the grandmaster.
I was lucky enough to see him live. Dude blew my mind from the beginning to the end. He replaced slash for one album in guns and roses. The dude was anonymous for years until he replaced slash. If you ever get the chance to see him live please do not pass up the opportunity.
This was hella smooth. Ty. Nvr heard buckethead b4. Yall need to check david gilmours solo from Pink Floyd Live In Pompei. What this man can do with so few notes is astounding. Less is more, do more with less philosophy
Watching your guy’s reaction to Bucketheqd brings back my Guitar Hero days. Another really good guitarist to check out is Eric Johnson’s “Cliffs of Dover”. Love watching your reaction videos.
Great video! I’ve been lucky to see Buckethead twice in Chicago, he’s simply amazing! Go see him if you get a chance, you’ll hear guitar like you’ve never heard and maybe get a Tonka Truck or something from his toy bag!
He wears the bucket and mask because he has severe anxiety, and wearing the whole mask and bucket is the only way he can go out and do what he loves! Truly an iconic, makes some of the greatest music I’ve ever heard
And he could of played with ozzy, red hot chili peppers, and a handful of other bands but got turned down cause he wouldnt remove the bucket
@Frozen Pizza They kicked him out! Buckethead can play guitar better than anyone ever and they kicked him out because he was making the popular guitar players look bad.
Thanks for the info! Maybe he joined for the experience and intended to leave from the beginning or maybe they paid him like 10 grand a night and he signed up for that cash.
@Frozen Pizza every word true, he is a Mozart of sorts. He's true to his craft in the same way that Rory Gallagher was, unconcerned with notions of fame and fortune, it was all about the music, the audience and his fans.
Just straight up pushing the wrong narrative. The whole thing is literally a character he made up.
I saw him in NYC around 5 years ago. He shredded as expected, gave us a nunchuck display, and gave out a bunch of gifts to the fans. Epic show.
I think I was at that show..
I saw him back in 08 & that was his show back then too
hahha
Brian is also a nunchuker? That's makes him even more cool.
That makes anyone and everyone cool as eff!! 💚!
Soothsayer is a real emotional one for Buckethead, it's dedicated to his late Aunt Suzie who actually bought him and gave him his first guitar aged 12. When she passed, he wrote Soothsayer for her as a means to tribute her and thank her for setting him on his life's path.
Makes it even more special even though that's bloody hard to do! 💚
Aunt Suzie is also a great song
@@joseph4043
One of my favorites. The foundation of the song is so simple but he somehow turns it into an emotional masterpiece.
The one they listen to here is like 3 minutes shorter than the originals/on on his album.
@@L3monSqueezy Personally prefer this live version though. Of course the emotions are still there when recording, but it's a whole different level in this for me. You can FEEL the emotion in each strum, each pull, each hammer on, etc.
Anybody can get up on stage with a guitar and a bucket on his head and be a fool, but only a genius can do that and deliver a performance you’ll never forget
🎸⚡️
The only difference between genius and insanity is success.
Seen him in concert and was blown away. Huge fan! He’s no joke.

The weirdest part was when he put on a realistic, but over sized, Michael Jackson mask and the started doing the robot. He’s so tall and lanky it was just strange, but the show was incredible
I saw him live in santa cruz, ca at the Catalyst. Was blown away as well and have been a huge fan since
He's 10 times the player slash is. Buckethead is Extremely underrated
Nah man, you can't compare Buckethead with Slash. Slash is a classic rock guitarist, and his background is deeply rooted in working with vocalists. His riffs and solos are crafted to complement and enhance the vocals.
Big B, on the other hand, is a fulltime-devoted solo guitarist. He's literally a guitar scientist, so of course he's a better guitar player than Slash.
Nobody underrates Buckethead, promise. He's up there with Jimmy Page, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Nuno Bettencourt
Fuckin love buckethead, this is one of the hardest things I've learned to play on my guitar and definitely isn't close to as good as this king
Just FYI, from Wikipedia: "Buckethead has released 30 regular solo albums, as well as 294 albums in the "Pikes Series", for 325 albums overall."

The pike series is already up to 351 (as of today) and growing every week. Just an unfathomable amount of great material this man has created.
@@PongGod Yeah, wiki data can be pretty sus...
420 Pikes as of Jan 31st 2023
He has over 450 albums
It's over 600 albums now.😳

@@PongGodThey take some getting used to but his experimental stuff is great
@@predeterminedmeat5024 It just doesn't sound "musical" so it's hard for me to appreciate it. No doubt it's technically difficult to play.
First saw Buckethead with his first band Deli Creeps at a club in Santa Clara, Ca in 1990 called The One Step Beyond. Changed my life.
Bucket is tier one elite musician period...he dosen't even need lyrics to be amazing

I saw BucketHead play in a small club in Deep Ellum, Dallas, Texas! It was amazing!!!
Love it. Welcome to Bucketheadland!!
He replaced Slash in Guns N’ Roses for awhile. Mostly he does solo stuff.
Then Praxis, Deli Creeps, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, Cornbug, Painkillers, Science Faxtion, Material and a couple more.
El-stew, Cobra strike….
Bucket of Bernie brains was him, with less clay Paul
There will never be another soul like buckethead, and to the slash comment, buckethead was in guns n roses for a period of time.
Love your guys' expressions! 😁 Love watching people watch this dude, they are always amazed hehe.. I love Buckethead!
Buckethead always makes his shredding look so simple but man the endurance and stamina and accuracy you have to have to shred that long and hit all the right notes is tough! My fingers would be cramping and bleeding 😂You know you have mastered something that difficult when you make it look easy
"Tough." 🤣 That has to be one of the biggest understatement's I've ever heard. ALMOST impossible would be more accurate.😉
Buckethead played with Les Claypool/Primus. This is the band that did the theme for South Park. Definitely check them out!!
I've seen him more than 20 times. He robot dances, moonwalks, and gives out toys to people in the front row. He's 6 ft 8 and never talks while in the Buckethead persona.

Props guys. So glad you tried Buckethead!!! One of a kind and probably a fellow rider of the spectrum
this is the most captivated i have ever seen these guys, they looked truly awestruck.
Thank you Cartier Family - BUCKETHEAD IS THE G.O.A.T.! So glad you agree ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Buckethead's technique is impeccable, and his pinky control and vibrato might be the best I've ever seen !!!
He’s so shy…he had to hide himself…..and he’s fantastic on guitar….people are what they are
This is the first Buckethead song I heard years ago, still slaps
What is it called? I can’t find it

Buckethead is THAT guy. Legend
The guy is as far as I know the most productive artist in the world, he puts out like a full length-album every 3 weeks or something
I've been a long time Buckethead fan. You guys made my night. Love seeing people discover new music.
Y'all cool peeps. Open minded and sharing vibes from all tribes. I am gonna follow and watch you guys critique all the game because this is what makes life great. Keep it real and keep digging for more talent. Peace

Buckethead is on a different level, legendary.
U guys should react to buckethead ft bernie worrell & Les claypool that concert was amazing n buckethead killed the solo !
Everyone loves some great Head! awesome to see you guys appreciate this amazing guitarist
Best improvisational rock guitarist ive heard since hendrix
I saw Buckethead at a a free concert in San Francisco and he was freaking amazing!
So glad you guys got to see Buckethead,and especially this song, loved your reactions, now watch Jon5
Buckethead is a legend, dude is nuts, def do some more.
If you like Buckethead, then i recommend his backyard session! Very nice stuff
Glad you covered Buckethead! He melts the guitar and is a guitar god! Make sure you watch more of his videos, you won't be disappointed!!
He’s out of this world. I hope he tours again 😢
I love the way these guys have instant rhythm.
Buckethead "Jordan" live from the Culture Room in Ft Lauderdale 🏀

SWEET! I suggested this to you guys but I rarely get a notification for your channel, even though I'm subscribed. Thanks for taking my request!
Buckethead is also amazing slappin that Bass. Truly a genius.
Bucket is one of the few musicians who can make me cry.
super stoked you guys checked this out!
Greatest guitar player in the world. Nobody is close. I have listen to this live a thousand times. He does not fuck up one note. Not one in that.
If you guys liked this one you have to listen to "Jordan" from Buckethead. An amazing solo in that song.
Enter The Chicken from Buckethead is sensational!
Hell yeah! So glad you reacted to Buckethead! He is the GOAT! Listen to Jordan Live at the culture room next! Amazing song! It's dedicated to Michael Jordan, he's a big fan! Great reaction

Buckethead has been wearing a KFC bucket for over twenty years. He's amazing.
Keep up the great work. One Love
At some point he had FUNERAL written on an orange sign. Don't know what that's about🤷🏾♂️
I wore one and got arrested.
@@riothero313 Impersonating Buckethead is a very serious crime. You’re lucky you didn’t get the death penalty.
Closer to thirty
enjoying the variety. would like to see you do some Limp Bizkit
Omg yes lol
Break Stuff, Nookie, Rollin’, Eat You Alive
It's the same face I always say from people who are first time Buckethead viewers. I live for it.
Buckethead is the shit! He's as humble as can be and has played and produced for many bands. My husband loves this guy and introduced me to him. His fingers doe!.... 😆

thank you guys

You should see the part of his shows where he breaks out the dance moves and nunchucks in between solos. It's freaking awesome.
He's so chill when he plays... It's pure emotions with sound rather than words

The guy is really amazing, even though he does a lot of very fast, albeit unique, solos. If he starts touring again, and he ever goes through your area, you wouldn't be disappointed if you went to one of his shows.
I used to rock Buckethead like no tomorrow. So SO SO good. He scares the sh!t outta me, but I love his music.
Another guitarist you guys need to check out is John 5. Black Widow of La Porte is a good song to start with.
Yup he’s a strange dude but Buckethead is for real and a great guitarist. Smooth robot dancer too 😊🖤🔥
To be fair he's a fucking fantastic, nay incredible guitar player. He appears strange because he suffers from severe anxiety, so does his best to hide it. The bucket is a joke, but the mask isn't.
Buckethead is one of the best ever, he made a song called "Jordan" to be the hardest song on Guitar Hero 2
But if you're looking for more guitarists then Steve Vai's "Tender Surrender" is one of the best guitar performances ever
No bucket head is
Some of the live performances with Les Claypool are pure gold, such as Col. Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. There is a clip called Buckethead Dueling Banjos which is really Buckethead doing freestyle bluegrass on a Flying V. He's the grandmaster.
Buckethead is a whole different thing lol what he does when you see him live is just overwhelming and mind altering lol
Dude grabbed the 🔥 extinguisher 🤣 hell yea
This is exactly how I expect my friends to react when I put on buckethead.
I was lucky enough to see him live. Dude blew my mind from the beginning to the end. He replaced slash for one album in guns and roses. The dude was anonymous for years until he replaced slash. If you ever get the chance to see him live please do not pass up the opportunity.
I don't know you guys at all, but the vibe you put out is brilliant. Thank you
I comend you guys for having a positive channel that brings all races together and it feels good!
This was hella smooth. Ty. Nvr heard buckethead b4. Yall need to check david gilmours solo from Pink Floyd Live In Pompei.
What this man can do with so few notes is astounding. Less is more, do more with less philosophy
Watching your guy’s reaction to Bucketheqd brings back my Guitar Hero days. Another really good guitarist to check out is Eric Johnson’s “Cliffs of Dover”. Love watching your reaction videos.
Great video! I’ve been lucky to see Buckethead twice in Chicago, he’s simply amazing! Go see him if you get a chance, you’ll hear guitar like you’ve never heard and maybe get a Tonka Truck or something from his toy bag!
This song is absolutely incredible! 🔥
Saw bucket the first time back in '02 playing with Les Claypool of Primus the were called Bucket of bernie brains and multiple times after by himself.
