      If it weren’t for Ticketmaster gouging prices, I’m certain Buckethead would be charging $15 at the door. I’ve seen him twice and I prefer his shows to any arena act out there.

    Buckethead should never need money. I paid $50 to see him in Santa Cruz recently. I paid $300 to see Def Leppard and Motley Crue a bit ago. I would have easily paid $300 to see Buckethead and Maybe $50 to see Def Leppard. There was no comparison on how much better Buckethead show was.

      Def Leppard would have to pay me $300 an hour to see their show. This isn't the 80s, and I'm no longer 10 years old. I'd pay about $30 to see BH live, since I paid $20 to see Tool in 2002.

    Bucket head makes frank Zappa look and sound normal bucket head is a freaking of nature his technique his accuracy is flawless there is nothing he can't play he goes from chicken picken bluegrass and country to the heaviest metal riff you ever heard blinding fast shredder with the 8 finger tapping to slow emotional souful haunting sounds and does all that in one song and make things that don't normally sound good sound good and does it so fluidly make it look easy Buckethead not my favorite but still think he is the underrated guitar player ever never heard anyone sound like bucket or close to emulating his sound and style just amazing guy, i think people get turned off because there grown man with a bucket on his head white mask with yellow rain jacket and pants on and only talks with a weird ugly puppet so no one takes him serious until you hear play and you see what all the hypes about him you can't forget about doing the robot dance while playing does he have stage fright or something like that get up makes him feel more at ease maybe

      Audible is notorious for using AI narrators. If Amazon can dehumanize something, they will. Seemingly it also includes Serj.
      Fun fact; Audible cut for creators is 30%, they pocket the rest. It's literally Steam in reverse, with a fraction of the bandwidth per unit sold. With AI they don't have to pay even that. Don't shop Amazon, folks.

    Enter The Chicken is still a great record, I feel like Serj learned a lot about how to produce a record from Rick Rubin

    You know as a huge system fan I now feel ashamed of myself for wanted serj to do more system when he’s actually been out there living life and enjoying himself away from the band. I feel like a selfish childish fool for not wanting this guy to just live his life . Serj I m sorry man, keep living and if system never makes another album or plays a show that I can see live , it’s ok. System died so that serj could live !
