  • 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

    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

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).

    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.

    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.

    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 !!!!!
