Buckethead is the best guitar player alive today. No one else combines technical prowess, raw speed, creativity, and compositional skill the way Buckethead can. Others may best him in one area, but no one has the complete package he does. Those that can play faster wouldn't be able to conceptualize a song this intricate and progressive; it would just be a grindcore shred of notes. Even when Buckethead plays at high speed he can still harmonize and adjust timbre of each note accordingly to fit the song. Its incredible what he does.
As previously mentioned, the closes to this is The Dragons of Eden - utterly amazing album. After that, check out Colma, Electric Tears, A Real Diamond in the Rough, Shadows Between the Sky, Captain EO's Voyage and I'd give Peppers Ghost a shot too. Welcome to musical heaven :)
i want this buckethead album a lot, and they dont have it on itunes :(, ........ lets face it, not all of bucketheads albums are that great, but this one is amazing.
My Favorite buckethead album. The next deep space probe we launch out into the cosmos should play Population Overide on a continous loop. That will get there attention.
Buckethead you change the way life looks in my eyes. You make it a better place, and if it wasn't for you, i don't know how life was going to be, probably would have been the most devastating thing. I have to meet you and shake hands with you one day
@theycallmejpj well I am mostly a metal fan so XD but I think you would like an album like, A real diamond in the rough, shadows between the sky, and I extremely recommend the dragons of eden. Still I will recommend you check out his "metal" albums, most of them are extremely good because buckethead knows how to balance pure aggression with very beautiful parts. like the song final wars on the brilliant elephant mans alarm clock. Also thanks for watching the video and commenting. have a nice day
@theycallmejpj Without a shadow of a doubt you should get Electric Tears if you like the slow melancholy songs. Even know you dont like like the metal stuff i would also reccomend that you pick up Crime Slunk Scene and I just checked out A Real diamond in the Rough its pretty F'ing amazing. Sounds like you would be drawn to songs such as Big D's Touch and Padmasana those are two songs off the reccomended cds.
Good. If you say BH is not a good guitarist, I will not argue with you. His music is not very musically complex. However, from an artistic point of view he is below none other.
god Population Override, Electric tears, peppers ghost, colma, Decoding the tomb of bansheebot, are like His MOST bad ass albums i love them i can listen to them over and over agian and not loss intrest Pop override is the trippest i think
I've got a song on my youtube account that I heard live & I've been trying to identify. I was referred to buckethead & this track in particular. ...What I heard doesn't sound like this though. Maybe you guys could help out? just go to my page & check out 'awesome unidentified live music track'.
love this...really heart felt ...if you want serious shredding... yngewie malmsteen - watch anything by him.....rediculous.... there are others but check him out for sure
@navebucketdude cheers man, appreciate it, i will try and check those out. i tried listening to a few tunes from electric tears but i don't like the sparse arrangements as much. maybe a better question would be what is buckethead's funkiest album..?
Well, there is a drum but it's very subtle and it only plays one hit at only one point in the song. At least, I think it's a drum. Although it's completely possible that it might just be him slapping his acoustic guitar.
okay, i am officially turned on to buckethead music! my gf bought me this CD yesterday for my birthday. i had heard some of his tunes before, but i'm not a big metal fan. but this album is absolutely amazing, so i'm looking for peeps to recommend me another purchase :) like i said, not too keen on metal stuff, and i've heard some stuff from i believe it's called "colma" which was okay, i enjoy the melancholic stuff but i didn't think as an album it was very dynamic which CD shud i get?
It's one of those that's made of wood with black and yellow keys..wait, i think they were ivory keys but age has made them yellow or something. I think he bought it from Ray Charles.
make sure to listen to "Look Up There", the album only has 2 songs and one is 21 min long but it is totally worth it.. Look Up There from the same name album is definitely one of his greatest songs.
@navebucketdude Erm, my channel isn't good enough to get traffic on it... just got a few friends and some people interested in classical lieder. I don't know enough about youtube anyway. Just wanted some help on identifying some track I heard at a pub one night, that's all! Do you know what band/song it is? cause I've been looking for ages...
@theycallmejpj Hi there, check out titles of songs like Fractal Shadows, Oishii, Frozen Ghost (or Blue Marbles Moon, same song as they were named by fans) off the In Search of the (ISOT) CD.
hey navebucketdude I was wondering if you had anything that sounded like "Machete" off the album colma?? I love that song and want more like it!! since it sounds like you have a vast knowledge of bucket I figured you might know a song or two. thanks!

Word. My three all time greatest guitar players/ influences: Buckethead, David Gilmour and Eddie Hazel
@@Schwertfisch13 Those are awesome influences!!
Gamefaqer...
Axl simply didn't deserve to have Buckethead in his band
Michał Pacholski buckethead doesn't need Guns n' roses
I've been a BH fan for quite a while, but I'm still finding this endless stream of good albums by him. What a criminally underrated musician.
This song hits different after all these years
Absolutely amazing. What's even better is most of this album was written on the fly, just jamming. So beautiful.
13 years later. A lot has changed. But listening to this hasn't.
@@tribblefluffer Same
@@tribblefluffer Damn right bro!

esta cancion es la ostia, me encanta!! (this song its amazing, i love this)
un saludo deste España

this album was a dedication to the great vinyls of the 60s and 70s
Travis Dickerson is on keys, right? Must bow down
i think he is THE greatest guitar player of all time
Buckethead you change the way life looks in my eyes. You make it a better place, and if it wasn't for you, i don't know how life was going to be, probably would have been the most devastating thing. I have to meet you and shake hands with you one day
He won't read your comment
go to his show. get in the front. you could probably get a toy, exchange with him a note or toy or w.e u want to give him
Travis Dickerson carried this for all I love buckethead. He would probably agree but it took both of them to make it
Am I crazy or is this musician from another dimension?
Your not crazy.
@@gypana i thought so
He's of every dimension.
You HAVE TO buy the thanatopsis albums Axiology and Anatomize! You´ll love them.
Comparing a jazz rock album to a videogame soundtrack now thats likable.
For me, this is the best of all buckethead's songs.
and you know the "shredshredshred" is Travis Dickerson on the keyboard right?
just making sure. now then, where is this shred you tremble in your pants about, timewise that is?
love this song i just bought the album
fucking ridiculously good music man that just blew my mind
@theycallmejpj well I am mostly a metal fan so XD but I think you would like an album like, A real diamond in the rough, shadows between the sky, and I extremely recommend the dragons of eden.

The best musical accompaniment to the extinction of the human race ever.
hell yeah.
@Pianomantodd1 thanks. worked like a charm. This is one of his best albums, I can't believe its not in every CD store and on iTunes.
bucket head one of my favourite guitarist
4:04 - 5:20
BUCKETHEAD's music is something i could hear anytime
one of the greatest guitar players of all time!
How do I talk to these geniuses about how they created this masterpiece?
Message them or maybe email them? Buckethead will probably be really hard to actually contact lol
You have to turn into a chicken and communicate in their language with buckethead
@WeSTsiDeRuLeZ217 Too many humans is amazing too...
@theycallmejpj Without a shadow of a doubt you should get Electric Tears if you like the slow melancholy songs.

Such a good song!
Ive just became aware of this album like yesterday, been creamin since!!
@kristofor12345 nah. i really did not like ARDITR. but dragons of eden and albino slug are much better newer buckethead albums.
Good.
If you say BH is not a good guitarist, I will not argue with you. His music is not very musically complex. However, from an artistic point of view he is below none other.
Is there a record of this song live or any other from the Population Override album?
"they just hide them 'cause they love buckethead too" - hahaha!!!
@BacchusAdoneus i hope you are not lying and just try to get traffic to your page.
a synthesizer and buckethead only uses his guitar on a funk-like tune and some distortion from the amp
god Population Override, Electric tears, peppers ghost, colma, Decoding the tomb of bansheebot, are like His MOST bad ass albums i love them i can listen to them over and over agian and not loss intrest Pop override is the trippest i think
I think it was himself.,but its Travis dickerson on the cd?or just live?
@navebucketdude bucketheads music can travel in space...the laws of physics do not apply here
I've got a song on my youtube account that I heard live & I've been trying to identify. I was referred to buckethead & this track in particular.
...What I heard doesn't sound like this though. Maybe you guys could help out? just go to my page & check out 'awesome unidentified live music track'.
@zl2171 lol sound can not travel in space so it would be pointless.
people buckethead cds are hard to get they do not hide them ok
say what you want about pinchface but he was awesome on this song i think.
some guy like 8 pages back lol I didnt think my comment would be so random
Great tunes - good feelings
Travis Dickerson does an amazing job on this song. Him and Buckethead really make a great team.
hey say what you wantabout PInchface but he was awesome in this song.
love this...really heart felt ...if you want serious shredding... yngewie malmsteen - watch anything by him.....rediculous.... there are others but check him out for sure
6:06 is the most beautiful sound in the universe.
Botssssssss
@@Macycrystal ahahaha
@navebucketdude cheers man, appreciate it, i will try and check those out. i tried listening to a few tunes from electric tears but i don't like the sparse arrangements as much. maybe a better question would be what is buckethead's funkiest album..?
Im getting that early Al di meola like vibe.
I was kind of feeling John Tropea and a little bit of Eumir Deodato on keyboards early on .
def one of Buckethead's top 5 creations
you didnt listen to the song did you?
and banjo, bass, and a shitload of other stuff.
lol nice nickname mate ^_^ really really funny
yeap but he was teaching him rly short time
I think he means the general pentatonic rock sound that hundreds of guitarists had in the 80s e.g. Slash.
@navebucketdude bucket or bernie worrell?
from 0:04 to 0:08 it sounds like something from chowder
This is amazing from a Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Satch fan!
the only good parts are at 0:00 - 8:38
santana should take a lesson ,from B.H
@navebucketdude i liked in search of
how could u guys forget giant robot nnt
no way did buckethead surprass paul!
lol wtf is this guy on???
Electric sea and electric tears. electric sea is great guitar with no drums.
Well, there is a drum but it's very subtle and it only plays one hit at only one point in the song. At least, I think it's a drum. Although it's completely possible that it might just be him slapping his acoustic guitar.
who play the key board
gilbert taught bucket.
hes probably not from this planet:D

well it really reminded me of mvc2s main theme aswell :D i love it though
can ANYBODY tell me what the piano is playing there ??
Doktor Jekyll van Hyde goodness
It's one of those that's made of wood with black and yellow keys..wait, i think they were ivory keys but age has made them yellow or something. I think he bought it from Ray Charles.
@mymester i really disagree with you. NOBODY sounds like buckethead. very few guitar players are as experimental as sir bucket.
no. my name is kurt.
make sure to listen to "Look Up There", the album only has 2 songs and one is 21 min long but it is totally worth it.. Look Up There from the same name album is definitely one of his greatest songs.
Im sorry for your loss

Travis DIckerson
@Cnote384 pinch face is one of the best drummers i have ever heard in my life he easily makes it in my top 5 drummers.
yes i did.
groovy
They are referring to his more shred-like albums, such as Island of Lost Minds, Crime Slunk Scene, Cuckoo Clocks of Hell and others like those.
truth
what?
i know
These comments are really obscure
Agreed
if a song could capture the epicness of life on a planet and then it dying out...itd be this song.
no there not
I fucking love this song, thanks to the uploader an Buckethead!
4:28
Holy shit.
