Buckethead- Soothsayer-(Live) BEST TECHNICAL PERFORMACE, A+ VIDEO & SOUND- Raleigh 5/13/16
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2016
- This live version of Buckethead's "Soothsayer "(Dedicated To Aunt Suzie) was luckily recorded in Raleigh , North Carolina at Lincoln Theater on May 13, 2016. Buckethead was probably in the best technical form of his life and his chops reflect his preparation for this tour. He was playing like he was at war and wanted to prove his place among the top-tier of the top-tier of all guitarist.
I took my two sons, Jackson & Robert and luckily got right on the front row to take pictures and record. I had a canon s100 that I got the cover photo of this video from and was told by the boys the next song was Soothsayer.
I was using a Razor Max by Android and had no idea if the video would turn out ok or if the audio would be blown-out. I handed the phone to Robert on the way home and asked him to check if the videos taken were any good. He replied "Wow, these are pristine!" I uploaded them immediately upon getting home and posted online. Musicradar.com shared along with ultimateguitar.com and it went viral soon after.
Soothsayer is the 6th track from the Buckethead album "Crime Slunk Scene" is the eighteenth studio album by Buckethead, and his fourth tour-only album. It was originally only sold on his 2006 tour, but was later made available on Travis Dickerson's record label TDRS music, until it eventually went out of print.
I had seen Buckethead years earlier at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach with Pinchface on drums. One thin was really obvious, he'd really evolved as a showman, and his chops have improved , if that's even possible. It's nobody's business "ranking" guitarist by talent or skill, because it's an unwinnable argument.
As a guitarist of 37 years, I can't think of a guitarist/artist/musician/entertainer that keeps getting better, heavier, more melodic, and advancing the art guitar wizardry like Mr. Buckethead. He's the Steph Curry of guitar right now.
Also, I never dreamed while listening to Praxis, DeathCubeK, & Bucketheadland in 1995 that 21 years later, me and my 2 teenage sons would all get to be front-row and get to tap the coveted- red-arcade kill switch on his guitar during the show! What an honor! \m/\m/ Raleigh , North Carolina 5/13/2016
BUCKETHEAD-JORDAN-2016- A+ audio! 4K Video Front Row
Lincoln Theater, Raleigh NC USA 5/16/2016
The track "Soothsayer" (dedicated to Buckethead's late aunt) has become one of his more popular songs, and is frequently played live.[3][4] "Soothsayer" was voted third best guitar solo of the 2000s by the Ultimate Guitar community.[5] Loudwire described it as "smoothest legato shreds of all-time".[6] VH1 included it 8th on the list of "20 Greatest Heavy Metal Instrumentals".[7] The song was later included as DLC on Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock.[8] On April 27, 2017, Buckethead announced a vinyl format of this album through his label "Buckethead Pikes"; marking the first time since its inception that the label has released a non-pike album.

I’ve seen Buckethead three times with my son. All three times right up next to the stage. Every time, he hands out toys to the people in the front, and we’ve both played his kill switch. My son has all of our toys in his bedroom studio as mementos. I must say, that those concerts with my son will be something neither of us will forget.
Saw him December 2017 in LA and changed my life forever. My girlfriend and I love...absolutely love buckethead. We had a hard time....my fault....and went our separate ways. I went to bucketheads show by myself a few months after break up and he graced us with interworld and the new innocence and animal behavior. I completely lost it. Broke down in tears mid show. During intermission I was having a smoke and a guy saw the look on my face and asked me what could possibly be wrong. We talked for a bit and it was at that moment I realized I had made the biggest mistake of my life leaving my girlfriend. 2 days later I reached out to her. Needless to say almost 2 years later we are stronger than ever and I will be asking her to marry me. So yes buckethead affects so many people in such a positive way. I hope he knows what he means to us....his fans. Really liked your comment and felt like replying. Best wishes to you and your son and your family
John Last lucky👏🏻
That is the best!!!! I was right up front too, but unfortunately no toys...but he handed out a ton! What a great performer.
@@mjwmjw470 Hope she says yes, and that you love and honor each other for at least fifty year together.
@@willong1000 she did! Thank you for your kind sentiments Will. Narrowed down the bride/groom announcement song to 10 or so....so many choices. Definitely going to incorporate Patrolman, Scraps, and Whitewash somewhere in the reception. Pray buckethead knows how much his music means to us....thank you Brian Carrol
still more albums than dislikes
thats fuckin funny lol
I would definitely require a long enough moment to still and meditate within his grip.
Who the hell could ever dislike Buckethead? I will fight you
Still more albums in a year than dislikes
More people personally touched his Red Button. LiVeN
Randomly popped up in my feed. Never heard of him and now I can't stop listening. He's amazing.
Same
Same!
Eu também! Kkkk
Even 7 months after posting that comment, you're still in for an adventure. Enjoy.
What do you expect Paul Gilbert taught him and said he was best guitar player ever seen
this dude is so ridiculously talented.
Seeing Buckethead live is definitely on my Bucket list!
Who the hell is Buckhead? I've heard Buckethead but not that guy 😂
Ah... ha... ha ha ha
Yes!!!!! I have chills thinking about it. So great.
No Punn intended
Thats very funny
amazing....my son listened to buckethead when he was in junior high nonstop for like an entire year....now he is going to Berklee School of Music in Boston, majoring in jazz guitar.....he credits Buckethead for his career and musical influence.....this guy has no idea how many kids he has influenced over the years.....
MrBtw999 im really glad for both of you, congratulations!
Yes he does
My son is 12 and ive just bought him his 1st electric guitar and introduced him to buckethead he has barly put the thing down in the last 2 days since i bought it. My work is done. Now its up to him to put the time and effort into it if thats the path he chooses.
Awesome! It was BH and Metallica that got me picking up the guitar in the first place too! Can't thank them enough!
Hats off 2 theBUCKETHEAD....M.MMMMMM 4 B- ING THE. GREAT INFLUENCE THAT HE IS......WHEN HE LEAVES THE PLANET........IMAGINE GOD......LISTENING 2 JIMI,SRV,DUANE,ROY B.,BB,ROBERT J.and JOHNNY WINTER....ALL BEING ACCOMPANIED BY NONE OTHER THAN THE GREAT BUCKET HIMSELF....
JOHNNY2BRAIDS
PEACE
I am French but this song is not a question of language !
It means so much to me : it speaks about life, joy, anger, happiness, sadness, melancoly... Love, disappointement, sadness...
Thanks Mr Buckethead 😘
Parfaitement d'accord
Dommage que Buckethead ne vienne jamais en France 😭
This song also speaks about wearing a fast food bucket upon one’s head, which, really, is the most profound message of all.
He wrote this after his mother passed...Truly a classic!!! And evokes all emotions..
@@DanielNewman38 He actually wrote “Soothsayer” in 2006 but his mother passed in 2014. You are thinking of “Hold Me Forever” which he wrote for her after she passed. Both are absolute classics. Very powerful and emotional roller coasters for sure.
Rest in Peace Nancy York Carrol
Thank you for giving us such a talent of a man.
(My name is also Dan btw 🪣 🤖 🎸 ✌️)
Buckethead is a genius who turned himself into a legend.
A legend who's name rarely comes up in the conversation of greatest guitar players. He has more of a cult following it's seems. He should get mentioned more, for sure.
12:00 he let the audience play his guitar - and shook there hands like a fucking human, id be hard pressed to have an experience like that seeing another band...beautiful. Just discovered this guy 30min ago and I am already a huge fucking fan, just genuine talent and love for what he does..wow
Discovered him 3 days ago)))
I would get back in the industry for this mad Genius
I'm just discovering him tonight myself. Two great finds now in the past few months for me. Zakk Wilde and now Buckethead!
Discovered him yesterday and I am a massive fan now too. He's absolutely awesome. Can't believe I never heard of him even though he played for Guns & Roses
@@laughingkars889 I love seeing comments like this from anyone who's just recently found him! That was me too, in April 2019. Like you, I couldn't believe that I'd never looked him up before I did and I could have kicked myself, I was instantly hooked!
He's been around for ever. I learned of him from primus back in the 90s.one of the best guitarists of our age (in my opinion)
I turned 70 in August and I can across Bucket Head for the first time -- it's good to
become addicted at 70 to a great guitarist. 😄😃🥳💙💢💥💫
Stumbling across someone new and awesome is a great thing.
Have you heard of a violinist called Ed Elaine Johnson?
Just thought I'd drop his name in case you havent. 🤘
I’m 66 and binge watch videos all day.BH turns me into a mouth breather as soon as he plays. I gotta learn to play now !
@@peterclarke7240 Ed Alleyne-Johnson is from Liverpool of course ..............................................
How he goes under the radar is absurd.This guy is phenomenal. Master guitar player.
He’s very well known among guitarists. Not as much to the general public, but his permanent legacy as a guitar legend is still firmly in place. :)
@Hunter Vonnegut bs. nowadays its marketablility. good songwriting... when did that last matter? the 90s?
sorry but almost all popular music since 2000 is trash.
the days where popular music was made because of making music are long gone.
its about sales, insta and other shit.
He wears a bucket on his head. Maybe why he's not on any radar.
An idea I don't know if we'll ever see or hear, but some kind of Collab between B H & Ed Wynn of Ozrik Tentacles
Balls up ..let's see you do it....
When mankind is ready and worthy, Buckethead will press the top button on his guitar... and we will live in harmony.
already has
Awesome
Finishes song, adjusts bucket.
Sharp dressed man.
lol
JAJAJAA
78877u87887777ìu
playing so good with that mask on is insane...
I just started listening to Buckethead at 63 years of age.
He's a killer guitarist. #lovingit
LMFAO... Im ******62****** and i just stumbled on this vid. Looks like im gonna listen to more BH
Your lucky I just listened to him and I'm pissed that I didn't discover him sooner I'm 71
64 and blown away! Definitely in rotation!
Wow didnt realize that tons of people missed out on BH. Just read his BIO and he is impressive.
me too 60 and how to i miss this dude i followed all kind music he is fabulouso viruoso just amezing technicks
How can a song hit you so hard with no lyrics im almost in tears.. this is a master piece. 🙌🥲🥲🥲🥲
Something about how he dances around B natural minor. Not usually a sad scale.
All about the melody. That’s what makes a great instrumental.
I was 12 when I discovered his music and at 32, I'm still in love. He's an amazing guitarist and an amazing person.
I discovered him in my 70’s. Thank god.
@@garylester8621 I love your comment but it didn't let me.
🐐🎶🤘🏻🎸
Why does he have a bucket on his head?
im now 33
Giving his guitar to play to the crowd is one of the coolest thing i ever seen
I "discovered" Buckethead this year (2023) at 60 years old, and no matter how many times I watch this video and others, I'm amazed every time by his technical abilities and his talent as an overall musician. I grew up around a lot of amazing professional musicians/guitarists, and I can only hope that I get the chance to see him live soon, as I would happily pay for front row no matter the cost if I had the money!!! Hey Mr. B, how about an invite to your next show. I'm a retired Professional Chef with 30+ years of experience and will provide you some awesome things for you to enjoy during the event and afterwards. Like Mom told me, it never hurts to ask. ;)
My mind is small😂
I highly highly highly recommend listening to his entire catalog. Although it will take you a long time, as he makes music ALL THE TIME. Seriously, like 20 albums of just songs from him messing around that arent EP/LP's. If you want an emotional rollercoaster of pure beauty, listen to the album Colma. Buckethead is probably my favorite guitarist to ever exist.
I'm 55 and couldn't say more. I mean I've seen a lot and he covers all boards and holds his own is his creativity with flawlessness. And we wears a bucket dude...SO many favorites I have and was a happen upon through Pandora on Satch's channel.
I am 66 I missed out . i THINK IT WAS BC the way he dressed. I have to tell you This guy is beyond awesome and shame on me
Ditto to all of the above.
I can’t TELL YOU how many miles I’ve drove with this on repeat!!! It’s like a trance. Like fucking WOW!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Amazing guitarist...I started listening to him almost 30 years ago when he lived across the street from my friend. He'd give her piano lessons. Always kind and always humble.
Que privilégio conhecer pessoalmente o maior guitarrista de todos os tempos!
Un kapo hace lo ke ke kiere kon la viola
Very good don't understand stand his look though
@@bullithole9004 i think he's sponsored by Colonel Saunders.
@bullithole9004 he didn't like to be seen as popular, one of the reasons he left GNR because people would go just to watch him shred and beautifully play the melodies. Truly one of the most disciplined and humble people.
Amazing..my son listened to buckethead his entire junior year of high school. Now he is the assistant fry chef at Kentucky fried chicken!
Bwahahaha
It reminds all of us to never stop dreaming.
haha that's sick
The way he switches styles effortlessly...shred, to melodic, to heavy rhythm, to shred, back to melodic, to bluesy...damn. And he wrings a level of emotion out of that guitar that rivals my all-time favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan. Very different styles but both of them could tell a story and make you FEEL with just a guitar.
PUH-leazzze. Stevie Ray Vaughan never, ever played with a bucket on his head. SRV was overrated, compared to King Buckethead!
@@SeptemberChild1835 >> Thankfully, SRV needed no bucket…he had a personality instead.
@@jaybee9269 I was actually being facetious. ‘‘Twas a joke.
This is what you call a very down to earth arist. Definetly one of the greatest guitar players and most well respected people out there especially for the fact he interacts with his fans and audience. Guy is a living legend, gotta love Buckethead
I found very wholesome when he shaked the guy's hand towards the end. Such a nice guy.
One of his favorite things to do with his friend and frequent drummer Brain is drive around all over looking for a soda fountain that serves the "perfect diet coke".
Wholesome is definitely the right word for him.
That is SOOO important to me!
Seriously…
@@spiderpickle3255 that is really cool!
Specially in his line of work.
Diet Coke is not normally good the Coke they are looking for!
Love it!
5:32 - no fucks were given that day
This song is streaking across the galaxy as we speak. They’ll hear it eventually
Aye
I'm just scrolling through the feed and this popped up.Never heard of "Buckethead". Thought it would be a joke but I don't think I have ever heard anything that could really even come close to the Amazing sounds this guy can squeeze out!🎉
Stay healthy, Sir Buckethead!
Sure does he's a clean person tho.
He is living healthy life but he has heart condition and I am scared for him.
god damn i can see now the hype about buckethead never heard his songs yet not until today. DAMN!!!!!
Loe Kevin Sorono lots of catching up to do bro.GET TO IT!
you need to see all 280 albums to understand :v he can talk with his guitar to you fuckin soul
Loe Kevin Sorono LOE KEVIN UTUBE U SOME MICHEAL A BATIORANDY RHODES TRIBUTE ED VAN HALEN DIME BAG!!!! 8 PILLARS. HANDS WITH KNOW SHADOWS. Guinness SAID HE WAS 3RD FASTEST EVER
Daniel Oliveira Ramirez fuc yeah
I'm going to be honest, I'm in a similar boat with you on this one, although I've been a fan for a while now. But the first time I ever saw him, I HATED him, only because it was when he played with (fake) GnR at the MTV VMA's (whatever year that was), and I was like, this dudes a f'n weirdo, AND trying to jack Slash of his shoes. Little did I realize, years later, that he fits in them just fine, if not a bit better (as painful as that is to say).
Masterful guitarist. At 70 I have just heard him for first time. Love his effects work. What can I say hes a total enigma of guitar.
It's an extraterrestrial. 😊👌 The best guitarist of the decade (and even more).🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😉
70 here too. First time and to me he is transporting me back to the 70’s…Santana, Allman’s, ZZ top, Creme, and all the rest! Jimi Hendrix
Yep, Buckethead is hands-down one of the best guitarists of his generation. He’s been doing his thing for quite a while and he is very well known among guitar players. Dude is guitar legend status.
One of the best guitarists in the world, when my son made me watch buckethead I laughed and said ok,, years later I've watched it all,,still in awe
One of the greatest guitar players alive today.
I've never heard of this phenom! I've been living under a bucket :|
I love how he let the audience join in! Such a genuine dude
Co e He looks like a nice guy. But I am not sure about it
Only a select few truly know whats under the Bucket my friend, I am not one of them though.
Look up some buckethead interviews , he talks for a bit and you would find he is one of the nicest guys to speak. The mask could be a large part of why he is so shy though.
Tonight a man with ghetto blaster type equipment with lights was walking past while I was waiting for someone. I heard this unbelievable relaxing music that made me dance like no one was watching. He came over I asked what music it was I’d never heard of bucket head until tonight. What amazing music . Thank you.
Thank you for letting the fans have a part in your art
I was at the show and it was fantastic. Was his birthday too. When he played Soothsayer I lost it!
You can really feel his love of music by how much he smiles while playing. Just wonderful.
That made me chuckle
There is something so Sad but beautiful about the song, puts my mind in a calm state every time i listen to it, awsome player, buckethead
Must be nice to get paid to do what you love most. I still haven't got the QC job at the brewery 🤣🤣🤣
LoL !
How can you tell? He's wearing a mask...
A friend of mine told me about this guy just last week. And I can’t get enough of him. Talented doesn’t even do justice. And the messed up thing about It. Is my friend (55)only and had always only listened to country music. I however been a R&R fan all my 50 yrs & how I missed this guy here I’ll Never know. Must have been asleep. Of course my buddy didn’t find this treasure on his own being a country boy. His nephew introd him to this genius. So THANK YOU JOHNNY.!From the “Mama don’t allow”, banjoleen, harmonica (L) hazards hymns. of the “ Hog (stermeisters) motif of mastered chronicles”😲😂👍😉 Thanks for turning me on to the Bucket!
Just came across buckethead yesterday. Man, I’ve been missing out! So clean, innovative, and enjoyable to watch and listen to.
His perfect technique is mesmerizing . fuckin guy can play like a wizard and write catchy riffs and solo in a variety of styles showing absolutely zero effort. do I tire sometimes of the over indulging in pure speed shredding? yah , but I am a guy who gets more out of a catchy riff then the extended solos of pure shredders. either way, this guy is at the top of the game when it gets to electric guitar.
Jeff Wizniak. YEP right on no doubt about that one..
Yep,, some of his stuff i cant listen to,, and then there is some that is other worldly!!! He's a freakin guitar savant.
I couldn't agree more - the man is a phenomenon. He's a super human. He's a genius on the level of great mathematicians and physicists - just in a different realm.
Absolutely Incredible! The anonymity leaves only one thing to see, those incredible fingers making that guitar sing. Absolute Respect for this guy.
His alternate picking technique is out of this world. Thumbs up!!
I watch/listen to this video every few months since it was first posted. Of all the hundreds of live Buckethead videos I've watched, this is my favorite!
Genius guitar player. Long fingers, it’s almost like he was designed to play on another level. He makes a guitar do things it was not even designed to do.
Have in mind that his Les Paul is custom made, larger by like 15-20%. A normal guitar looks like a toy in his hands.
@@zeljkokaravida3934 27” scale.
@@zeljkokaravida3934 how tall is bucket head?
Where was the genius part?? I didn't see nothing special n his playing..
He’s certainly a masterful player but there are many guitarists in different genres as facile, who also make beautiful music (many with short fingers).
That said, there is some serious mental disturbance manifest here: to hide behind a ridiculous Michael Myer’s Halloween mask and wear a KFC chicken bucket on your head for your entire career.
That's the strongest pinky that I ever did see.
To this day I listen to a light in the fog, the pathless road, aunt Suzie, padmasana everyday for my workouts. I puts me in a good frame of mind. His music feeds my soul.
I’m so impressed by this man who can command a stage by himself, create such beautiful melody and shred in the most musical way that I’ve ever heard.
I was at this show, and it was a particularly inspired performance... Friday the 13th... Buckethead's birthday!! Yes! It was a good one...
\m/\m/
you can tell BH is a student of PG at 6:00 with those repeating alt picking runs
I've always loved that part of soothsayer. It just sounds so intense and nasty yet beautiful.
J. Evan Wade Oh yeah...05/13/2016 was a Friday the 13th. I completely forgot about it...
Theres almost no guitarist as effortless and flawless as Buckethead. I know some people scoff at him because of the attire but as a guitarist there are next to no guitarists in history as talented as he. So much respect for this guy.
Jeff loomis is far better IMO not to say BH isn’t a god
the only guitarist next to hendrix (in terms of skills and feeling and improving sounds and technics). just awesome!!!!!
@@taden8544 far better in terms of what? speed? listen to him..to me BH has far more feeling and heart in his playing than JL.. both are fucking fast (but beeing fast means often that it sounds cold and digital)
People that scoff at buckethead are just testimony that no matter how good your are that there is always some dick and set of nuts that is slighted.
I love his attire ... always...
So cool that he let fans participate. Made a memory that will last forever.
The creativity and substance of his playing are incredible!!! Its total brain massage ear candy.
Each live version is different but perfect
I was there also! Front and center. My 6th time seeing him. On Friday the 13th ,his BD, I shook his hand, hit the killswitch and got a batman mask from him! I love you Bucket! Thanks again Jack for these treasures.
Who's listening in 2024 🎆
Me we need this.
👍
Every time I purchase a bucket full of chicken wings I listen 🍗
Going to see him again tonight
Just was. Got it saved, some of his best performance! And sound!!
Oh man, this guy never ceases to amaze me.....the man with the bucket!!!
imagine historians finding this footage in 10,000 years
i will never get tired of this song, what a masterpiece
BUCKETHEAD RULES! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
I've never seen this gentleman play before but I must say he knows his way around a guitar.
He speaks the language of electric guitar. He shows his emotions in this way.
The expression on his face says it all.
It says humility.
its a terror mask lol
classic dude!!!!!
does he have a mask on?
@@raven314 Yes he does! 🎭🎨🥁🎸
I just sincerely hope that Brian has people in his life that Bless and inspire him as much as he does for all of us with his music and time he spends with his audience.
I never get tired of this
His tone and playing is insane. So technical.
To have that level of tech with pure feel is Hendrix-like.
This was freakin awesome! Amazing how he lets the audience get involved. How many kids play guitar now because of him. He’s phenomenal.
A player so good...it sends chills down your Spine.....whoa !
This guy plays so very clean. Deep appreciation for his amazing skill and intensity. Reminds me of Alex Lifeson.
yes very technical, love it im hooked
Alex Lifeson. Ok
His articulation is excellent. I was in the recording industry for 15 years. When music took a turn for the worst, i ran fast. Been out of it for 20+ years now. First time hearing this guy.....so far so good
When I see what some of these rap guys have archive I want to puke....
Music is music, it does not get worse or better, just different. 12 notes, just rearranged over and over. I would respectfully suggest that the music industry took a turn for the worse not too long ago.
Excellent camera work!!! Amazing clear sound!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Totally!!
1st time hearing this @ 56 year's old. Definitely on my bucket list now. Godspeed 🙏.
I turn 60 this month and discovered him two years ago. Now he's basically all I listen to. His catalog of music is unparalleled in both quantity and quality. Enjoy the ride!
Once you meet Buckethead's music, you enter another dimension of music. Nothing to do with whatever you've been listening. There's no going back. You may still listen to your favourite and most notorious guitar players you've grown up with. But you know it's a different story....
Well said....I stumbled upon this genius about 8 years ago....mind blowing...
I've been into him since I've started playing guitar...one of my greatest musical inspirations..spaning genres!!
Bucket really went the extra mile to let the audience really get involved. ANOTHER reason to be a bucket fan
Thanks for the super clear upload as well
He let EVERYONE have a turn, very cool
Eargasm! Great footage and equally impressive to see & hear The Bucket return to ferocious, maniacal, mechanical, chicken coop, sustained slunk form!!!
I've watched countless hours of buckethead. How am I just seeing this now?!
Been listening to Buckethead for about 10 years now! Dude rips!!! 🤘
i'm mad at the world that guys like this aren't on the radio and guys like little pump are
Can't tell you how much I agree. Hip-hop /rap are fucking cancer.
@@joeshmoe1378 not all rap just the mainstream shit guys like nf , hopsin, and joyner lucas are really talented vocalists
@@AMRsti93 I mean...I guess?
I'm mad that your mad because not everybody likes what you like this sounds like somebody just running through scales half the time very boring if you ask me so
@@espdv8ruser952 Then you're half fucking deaf.
This just cheered my sick ass up. I hate the flu. I now love Buckethead.
Buckethead is one of the most virtuoso of guitarists in the genre of rock guitar. HE is one of the top 25 guitarists I've listened to and enjoyed most.
Danny Gatton!! 🎸
I swear so many people get lost in hiw technical buckethead plays but on the real he has so much fucking soul 💯
Ozzy was very foolish to demand Buckethead to remove his bucket and mask to be able to play in his band. When Buckethead shows up for an interview, you let him wear whatever the hell he wants to. That mask and bucket adds epic mystique and imagery. Even when you know who he is. Dumb, dumb, dumb. If Buckethead shows up to your bands audition, make no demands. This is genius of a nearly unmeasurable scale. You don't put demands on such people.
The most ridiculous thing Ozzy ever did. In the context of Ozzy’s persona and image buckethead would have been the perfect foil - Ozzy Osbourne with Michael Myers on guitar - the ultimate rock(y) horror show! The problem for Ozzy has always been insecurity- I’m sure Sharon wouldn’t have tolerated someone else stealing the limelight from her husband. Such a shame but the experiences of Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake and Jake E Lee bear this out .
Also tailor made for Motley Crue if they should ever do another tour
@@HairyMunci That would Rock! I second that! I'd love to see him hit a Judas Priest stage at some point too. As perhaps a guest appearance. Can you imagine? EPIC
probably the wife/manager Sharon
Dead right....it would be an honour to have him play
He is one with his instrument!!!!
Seriously intoxicating.
Awesome!!!!
In the 90‘s I went to Madrid to my first vacation outside my home country without my parents. My hostel room had a tiny TV and one of the channels would feature bands at night. That‘s when I first heard bucket head (it was him, a DJ and a drummer) and I was blown away and watched in awe for hours. It took me years to actually find out who he is. That is such an intense and lasting memory, I barely can remember anything else from that trip.
The most underrated guitar player in the world..
I came for the bucket - I stayed for the musical perfection !
I never get sick of watching him. Hits me right in my heart every time. Im a bass player....watch peeps like wooten and les claypool....but the one guitarist i keep commin back to watch is Bucket
SLFTragic i love how bucket is more than a guitarist too, he slaps bass with claypool! Honestly a master of all strings lol
I wish this every weekend and I'm still mesmerized
Okay, I must have been living under a friggin' rock for decades, because this video was the first time I have ever seen/heard Mr. Buckethead. And to be introduced to him with Soothsayer was a total mind melt. Honestly at a loss for words here. First of all, thank you to Jack Hughes for uploading this. And regarding Mr. Buckethead......as a huge fan of the electric guitar and it's sound and how it talks directly to my soul.....all I can say is ________________. Ok, ok actual words? Wow, just wow. The persona, the look, the stage presents, the humble connection with/to the crowd, the technical skill-unprecedented. Long live Buckethead!
He's just absolutely incredible. I only recently started playing guitar at 24 years old this man is a huge motivation.
It's never too late. Keep it up.
Keep practicing dude!
How can some people still say that buckethead is a shred-a-holic with no soul and no feeling in his play ? Listen to that and make amend. Music for my head, my heart and my... something else. Makes me shiver often, makes me breathe fast... true artistry, which means that the effects on yourself cannot fully be described. Beyond words.
Benoit Mangin they haven't heard all of his albums
Crazy sick guitarist! Dude
Is just a phenom…now a fan 4 life-,^/
Can we just talk about how Buckethead is a powerhouse when it comes to making new albums?! That guys work ethic is out of this world!
Paul Gilbert did a good job teaching him but buckethead took it to a whole new level
Gilbert approved that he ONLY gave him 2 lessons , the guy was READY before Gilbert taught him he was already educated by his own
pebber brown was his main teacher growing up hes on youtube.
Gilbert is the fucking boss man!!!
Gilbert publicily said don't give me credit for Buckethead's talent. I was 18, he was 15. And sessions were very few.
Hes not that great of guitarist. Guys that can play smoking circles around him are a dime a dozen, these days. What he is, is a musician. He is expressive, which is something those dime a dozen technicians don't have.
this is one of the guitarists that make me want to know how to play an electric guitar
I'm inspired by your being inspired, because I'm on the verge of giving up at life since I'll never be as good at anything as he is on guitar, lol
+Mitchell S. Glad I could help you with inspiration, I hope you do great things and maybe in the future you could play guitar like buckethead, anything is possible if you put your mind to it
I hope greatness for you as well, cheers!
do it. you won't regret it.
+Tony Tran already starting a band just you wait we'll have some music out in a few years
Outstanding I have never seen him live. But I would really like to. It amazing even to purchase an album or two love his style and his music!
i first listened to Buckethead in guitar hero 2 and I'm at 7 years old that time, I loved his song since then and now I'm already 18.
same
Try listening to real music.
I think his one of the best guitarist solo in the world....
Mansor Lasim yes indeed’..! Best ever live real perform sologuitar instrumental/experiment world player!
In all honesty this is one of the finest, most mind blowing (& altering) Buckethead clips I've seen...& that's saying something cos he's got a few good ones out there.
This guy is just amazing. Listening/watching him perform Soothsayer is Therapy. It heals my soul.
What an amazing player...that's real guitar skill. He's not relying on digital sustain to cover things up. Just wow! Real !!!!!
