I think a part of it is because his songs are not too simple for non-musicians and the other musicians can listen to interesting elements of his playing which only they might recognize
FACT - being able to see him was a treat 2 years ago. Got to tap that cut off switch when he leaned into the crowd. So awesome even the toy throwing gifts haha great guy.
psamsundar Learn how to play some of his songs and I promise you'll get it. Try his simpler acoustic ones..like "Little Gracie". Then feast on the fingerstyle beauty of "Yokohama"..try "Wondering' which is much more than meets the ear
@@wordlife9257 you have incredible taste my friend. little gracie and wondering were some of the first songs that I fell in love with playing the guitar with... learning those songs changed my life and I play them almost every day for 10 years...
So there I am bottom right I tried to steal his pick right after this song. He kneeled down and shook my hand. With some magic his pick disappeared. My Hero!
tell folks to listen to albums like Colma and Electric Tears if they typecast him as the brutal flurry shreddy Jason Becker type. nothing bad against J there at all. he was like Bucky's predecessor
I can't believe it took me so long to even hear about Buckethead. I only found out about this amazing musician about a year ago, and I can not get enough of him. And THIS song, in this video, well this is really extra special. I watch all of the videos I can find of him on RUclips, and I never saw him get into the music like he does in this one. The raw emotion... and come on, this song is amazing! You'd have to be made out of granite to NOT rock out to this. I love this video. Buckethead, you make this old rock fan smile every time I hear you play.
I've only been in Bucketheadland for a couple more months that you but I am a convert. What did I do before Buckethead entered my world and flipped it upside-down? I just keep listening to his endless catalogue of songs and when I think I've reached the apex of guitar playing I stumble across another of his masterpieces. I am truly amazed by this guitar god.
I really can't understand all of these naysayers out there that play off like he's nothing special at all. Honestly I've never heard any guitar player out there that sounds like him...I was connected instantly....I've head a shitload of guitar players over the last 45+ years Satiani, Vai, Yngwie, Zakk Wylde, Vivian Campell, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman...on and on and nobody and I mean nobody has tapped into my soul like BH and they're all great in their own respect...but BH is exceptional.....
People don't accept he's the best because he's so prolific. Ignoring the fact that Mozart and other great composers were also incredibly prolific and produced many works.
That's just another reason why he's the goat. Even if half of his music was considered unreleasable he's still got 10-20 times the amount than other greats.
Martin Hepler. Dude has helped me through tough times. Still is. Has been for about 8 months straight now. Haven't really listened to any music but his
For the millionth time: Who IS this guy? Yeah, I know he's got a name, and I also know that no human can do anything like that. Maybe he did come from outer space; that would explain it.
He was born in a chicken coop, that's all I can remember:). I truly feel sorry for his guitars as he puts them to the test for sure! Peace and do Rock on.
This is a metal heart machine ! You make me brave when your pushing notes arrive my ears ! It doesn't matter who is the best guitarist. You convey the emotions really amazingly.
life Some say that AI could never learn art like a human, others say Buckethead is proof that a robot AI can master art. The truth however is that Buckethead is actually just evidence of advanced alien life on earth.
0:59 that is such a COMMANDING lick, I love it so much. I only heard the live version of this song as the last bit of a Pike I can't remember off the top of my head, but I find myself humming it throughout the day. It's so motivating, makes the hair on my neck stand up.
Brian's playing is cathartic for him and also his way of saying thank you to everyone that loves his music. He is thankful to everyone that loves him for sharing himself in his music.
Damn, I NEVER grow tired of watching Buckethead jam. I think everyone should have a healthy dose of #shredfest for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday.
it can be any host of reasons.. i think since hes so tall and is up preforming almost every night for 8-9 months out of the year for the past 20 years his back will take some damage... i herd it was a slipped spinal disk.. (Spinal clock).. hes better now but seems to have less energy some days, the 3 times i have seen him he has slowly decreased the amount of time he spends dancing and how much he does too..
Wikipedia under break for illness. This is why he didn't release an album for so long and then came out with Spinal Clock upon his return.Since then he has been unstoppable.
He's the level of musician where you go to his concert and expect to see other musicians in the audience.
musician of musicians
he's your favorite guitarist's, favorite guitarist

this guy is pure genius. how on earth does he come up with these songs. raw talent.

I assume lots of jam sessions.

Hahaha nice
😂
😂❤ Lol.
best guitarist alive shame not much people know him
I feel so blessed to have listened to such music and sorry for those who are ignorant of this world.
Iam an old rocker from the 60's ..all are entitled to their musical tastes..if you don't like this guy..you just don't like guitar......the man rocks
LJBuck72 amen 🙏

👍👍👍🎸❤️
Facts.
Buckethead's the only fact that inspired me to start over playing guitar 6 years later. You are a fucking god of guitar mann.
he's so into his music! I hope its like that tonight I'm going to see him in an hour!
as an australian i am so incredibly jealous, hope it was good!
The feels. I love aussieland, from vic. but shit man, we miss out on this big time.
I’ve seen him 4 times since I made this comment. 3 autographs, a guitar pick, a bucket he wore, and 4 toys later.
4 years later and I still absolutely cherish this man.
@@tannernagrone I'd kinda like wanna be u!
the quality on this is still mind blowing for over 12 years ago
finally someone can tune his guitar while playing a song and doesn't play the whole song out of tune
Doktor Jekyll van Hyd. e
Stevie Ray Vaughan also tuned his guitar while playing.
Qq
@@harshsaraswat6254 …Jimi Hendrix, yes. Musicians with instinctive pitch, ehh?
And he can tune the Guitar while he is playing like only God could.
Brian, you are the ONE......

I had the pleasure of watching this gentle giant play in person ... My BUCKET(HEAD) list is now more complete .....
tuning that 6th string while playing. that is so sickkkkk. pure mastery of the instrument.\m/
I'm in love with this guitar virtuoso!
3:37 the most epic blend of metal vs classical
EL MEJOR GUITARRISTA DEL MUNDO !
i'm 55 and can't believe i haven't heard of this guy before .... nice little gem you guys have here ...
hope you're doing alright sir
The most talented, ever
Buckethead is a beast.
I can't listen to this song enough times!!! soo deep so full of hope
Who would of known that age 59 after a life of loving rock I finally meet the GOAT. Just 2 months into the journey.....
Chris Weidner . Cocaine is a hellava drug. That's a long time to love rock.
Wow. Just stumbled into Buckethead world last week. Wow.
Congratulations, your life will never be the same.

There are guitarists, and there is a Buckethead
It's just unrealistically cool😻🎸🦾
the opening is absolutely awesome!
This guy is ridiculously amazing. Shoulda been in like a top 10 list for greatest guitarists!
He is.
I love how he poses for the cameras, when he moves on the stage! :'D
2:04 he is just too fucking cool.
I've never seen him get so into his own playing like at 1:00 , granted that riff is one of my all time favorites. awesome
And at 3:28. 😀
+dedik8SKB Look at other videos from this same show, it looks like he was into his own playing with many other songs as well.
+dedik8SKB Right lol he was fucking jamming out
What song is that??? I heard it once a long time ago and can't seem to find it
You can guarantee there'll be multitudes of expressions going on under that mask!
I really can't understand all of these naysayers out there that play off like he's nothing special at all. Honestly I've never heard any guitar player out there that sounds like him...I was connected instantly....I've head a shitload of guitar players over the last 45+ years Satiani, Vai, Yngwie, Zakk Wylde, Vivian Campell, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman...on and on and nobody and I mean nobody has tapped into my soul like BH and they're all great in their own respect...but BH is exceptional.....
Don't know if anyone else noticed, but @ 04:43 he hits the A on the 5th instead of 7th, and it still sounded sweet.
I normally hate this type of comment but the fact you know this song so well actually impresses me.
@@masonharris9166agreed but the original note sounds better
notifying y'all so y'all can come and listen to this masterpiece once again
Hope everyone's still listening to this
Just amazing I remember when my friends and I used to listen to his music all the time
People don't accept he's the best because he's so prolific. Ignoring the fact that Mozart and other great composers were also incredibly prolific and produced many works.
That's just another reason why he's the goat. Even if half of his music was considered unreleasable he's still got 10-20 times the amount than other greats.
We have Paul Gilbert on knees to thank for making Brian one of the best virtuosos of our time
He came here to save us all :D
Martin Hepler. Dude has helped me through tough times. Still is. Has been for about 8 months straight now. Haven't really listened to any music but his
I keep coming back to this
SO GOOD. I can't stop watching
I think about this song a lot
For the millionth time: Who IS this guy? Yeah, I know he's got a name, and I also know that no human can do anything like that. Maybe he did come from outer space; that would explain it.
Brian Patrick Carroll
He was born in a chicken coop, that's all I can remember:). I truly feel sorry for his guitars as he puts them to the test for sure! Peace and do Rock on.
Born in a coop, raised in a cage, children fear him, critics rage :D
Few know he was the lone survivor in the Area 51 crash.
He is divine.. Quite virtuous. A very complicated and empathetic human being.
Im not gay but i love u buckethead !!!
same tbh
I'm sick and the only cure for me is. you know who ???
I'm gay for Buckethead
@@russellsvendsen920 the only cure for this fevaaaaa is more cowbell
Awesome!love it!it's amazing 🎉
this is one of my favourite Buckethead songs.
God Buckethead❤❤❤❤
This one tears me in parts
3:12 and 4:29 lovely passage alternatives
This is a metal heart machine ! You make me brave when your pushing notes arrive my ears ! It doesn't matter who is the best guitarist. You convey the emotions really amazingly.
he's really enjoying this one aswell
the lightings of buckehead's mishawaka performances are awesome.
Thank you, wonderful live version.
I like john pertrucci,but LOVE BUCKETHEAD true musicianship!
thank you Buckethead! you give me the courage to defeat all
He's so active in this performance, nice footage.
life Some say that AI could never learn art like a human, others say Buckethead is proof that a robot AI can master art. The truth however is that Buckethead is actually just evidence of advanced alien life on earth.
Buckethead is on fire !
He takes me places I wouldn't normally go - or expect to love.
the best rock guitarist
increible jaja tocando y afinado en el momento buckethead
Buckethead controla todo...
as i sit in Awe of him it makes me feel better than ever to hear a gibson played like a total outlaw God
One of my TOP 3 favorite Buckethead songs.
At the 1 minute mark one of the greatest riffs in music history
Ohh men its been years since i saw this video and it still blows my mind. How amazing must it be seeing this live
Happy B-Day Buckethead!!!!!

El puto amo.....

I love the contrast of this video

I FUCKING LOVE BUCKETHEAD!
He pwns on so many different level!!!!!!! The ENIRE Albino Slug album is gonna play at my funeral!!!!!!
0:59 that is such a COMMANDING lick, I love it so much. I only heard the live version of this song as the last bit of a Pike I can't remember off the top of my head, but I find myself humming it throughout the day. It's so motivating, makes the hair on my neck stand up.
Thank you Bro. Woo! 🤘🏼🐔
C'est vraiment un plaisir de l'écouter!
Очень круто как всегда👍👌✌
Uhh - so much music you still have to discover! :)
Sheeel yeahhhhh
These are a few of my favorite things
Beautiful
I'm a Satriani guy,but this Bucket guy is on that level without a doubt.
Im a Satriani guy too but let's be honest Bucket is on a VERY different level..
lol
If Beethoven had a guitar and electricity, he would have been Buckethead.
Mozart
Electricity
Beethoven still wouldn't be as good as Buckethead!
He's more like Paganini.
Mozart, there's a autistic "feeling" to everything he does, hard to explain
Unreal !
Amazing!!
Incredible video, thanks DMac!
Tan perfecto! ❤️🤤
9 year ago I found he's music, and since I still listening to his brilliant music.
that tuning and new version of riff came out at 2:00 freaking awesome!
This is so good
Brian's playing is cathartic for him and also his way of saying thank you to everyone that loves his music. He is thankful to everyone that loves him for sharing himself in his music.
Es increible el talento de este tipo para componer solos como esos si si bethoven tendria una guitarra se llamaria buckethead
Hubiera tenido*

my man. What a guy.
あっ、これいいjam！
メロディーがある🤩
途中で転調してるからねじイジるのですか？どんどん難しくなる
😭
How is that riff at 4:08 played? He seems to be pulling off of his lowest string, but a tab that I was using had two of same note as palm-muted notes.
He's definitely tricky to copy!
