*This is officially released audio* taken from Serj Tankians new 10 hour audiobook titled 'Down with the System, A memoir by Serj Tankian" Where Serj talks about meeting & working with Buckethead. serjtankian.com/pages/down-with-the-system www.amazon.com/Down-System-Memoir-Serj-Tankian/dp/0306831929 www.audible.com/pd/Down-with-the-System-Audiobook/B0CLPWKM4M
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.
@@WagonFPancakes He does not need to charge anything at the door. He is certainly very well paid by Pepsico. As a bonus, he can never sell out, since he was a sell out from the beginning.
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.
Buckethead, and Serj Tankian, and Brian Mantia … I would quit the battle and just enjoy the free concert lol. I wonder if anybody posted a video if it …
Man I wish I had people who I could just call up when I was hurting and needed money and bartered an album for the pay. As a man going through financial strife, I can appreciate and recognize the love in those actions
i heard bucket head through guitar hero but i was down a rabbit hole and been a fan since like 2008, i have a fck tone of his albums , its been some years since ive listened since i listen to a bunch of music but this gave me queue to listen to his albums i have on my hard drive (i back up ALL albums and projects/art i do) this brought me back to so much good music
I just saw this comment at the right time. Just came back from St Pete to see Knocked Loose. I’m definitely going to try to snag some tickets for the Buckethead show
@@codyhaitch758yep...saw him the 26th of may! playin with a band and i think hes tryin to help the singer get her name out there. didnt get as much of his crazy antics, but super fun none the less!
Ngl, for a second I thought this was AI. The audio clipping and the general diction just gave me that vibe. This AI "revolution" just makes me intrinsically doubt the validity of everything around me.
I dabble with guitar as a hobby. I also have chickens, had em my whole life. They truly are my little friends. They surround me when I go in with them for attention, and they learn faster than dogs. Interesting creatures when you really get to learn about them
@eriklarson9137 they can learn a number of things. Lots of birds can, treat based like any animal. Your argument is not with me but with science. Look it up. They can see fast motion better than us too, can remember hundreds of faces as well. Chickens will study you more than you study them.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 No dignity in debasement, anyway. Certainly there's dignity in doing what you have to in order to get by, and in being the sort of person whose friends & community value them enough to offer something like that. Money's just a mean to an end; it is no measure of a person's worth, and neither is the way one gets it. Do you perhaps also feel that inheritance, dividends, lottery winnings, and hundred million dollar bonuses are undignified? No sweat of the brow behind those. I want to see my friends do well and when I am in a position to I give to them freely, and from time to time I have known them to do the same. If I can do anything to prevent them needing a "handout" in the first place, all the better.
I saw him on that. Enter the chicken tour. There was a moment when he was doing the nunchuck breakdown that his nunchucks broke and smacked me in the face. It wasn't the first time I had been hit with a pair of nunchucks... He went off stage because he was so worried what had happened. Someone else came up to the front and made it very interesting apology because Buckethead was so worried In a truly caring way. After the show in Lawrence He had the owner of the venue purchased me a pizza which was very kind and thoughtful And stared at me with the most kind, sad eyes. Definitely one of the most memorable shows not only for the performance but for the character underneath all of that. As you get older you forget some of those kind of things that happen... And the head injuries... So I'm glad I watched this little video and was reminded of that very fun night.
What a cool little story. I saw Buckethead in Charlottesville with my son. Definitely a different kind of concert. Never said a word, but personally handed out trinkets from a huge sack. If he would have been drunk, he would have been my uncle Frank at any family function.
Saw Buckethead at First Ave in August. I've seen him probably a dozen or more times now but that was my favorite one yet. He covered War Pigs and then like 3 songs later covered a Backstreet Boys song with an acoustic guitar. Dude has unlimited range. Greatest to ever do it
Saw him two nights in a row last week. We saw him in Madison, Wi on Thursday and we’re so impressed that we bought tickets to his show in Milwaukee the next night. Two incredible performances!!! We considered going to St Charles the next night, but passed. I wish we could have made the third show !!
I sadly cannot remember how I learned about Buckethead other than dr*gs and my friends. But in the very week we learned about and watched many a video of him, we got tickets to a Buckethead concert in my home town. Completely BOMB show!!!! And the week after, 6 days actually, we also saw Rob Zombie. Same venue. Thank you House of Blues!!
love them sm. they are huge inspirations to me and ofc so many other peeps. inspiring cause yes they’re talented but they’re just so cool and themselves:)
Buckethead has created the greatest single catalogue of genius. Ever. He will be remembered. Forever. Pure genius of all genres. Essential. If you’ve never heard him give the song “Coupon” a listen. All the best. Be kind. Always. Out lies and evil. Always.
I have now seen buckethead twice. I’ve been to dozens of other rock/metal/hardcore shows, still rookie numbers to some…. I must admit. But nobody compares to buckethead. By far my favorite shows, Buckethead even handed me a gift last show!!!! 😅😅😅
Thanks NN..... when are you going to bless the worlds ears with another one of your GLORIOUS songs? I have listened to Fate of the voyager & Mutant ballroom perpetually. I taught myself both songs. I turn your songs on and play along with you.... it sounds GLORIOUS! WOOOO!
He’s not big on leaving America or travel in general. It’s funny cause one time I read him saying that when you get a coke in Europe it comes with no ice. If you ask you it you get like two cubes, and that always bothered him. I have noticed the same thing and I always think - ice is free. Why not just give me the ice
@@dougcameron6609 Much of the water in Europe is polluted. You can get clean ice if it comes from an ice distributor, but otherwise it's not guaranteed.
@@kelleychilton2524 The Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy's list of ten countries with the cleanest drinking water consists entirely of European countries, so I don't know where you got your "dirty European water" myth from. Anyway, come to Europe, Buckethead!
2:57 I love to improv like that and get the flow. best times where I was at the studio with my friend and all the different bands that would come in and I would sit in.
Hearing serj casually name drop buckethead's real name kind of enrages my inner edgy metalhead teenager, like we didn't grow up for years on forums wondering who tf was really behind the mask, and yep, it was that guy we thought it was, it was that guy the whole time
Enter the Chicken is a fantastic album! Music of course is absolutely stellar, but lots of the songs/lyrics are just so funny and silly, it makes it really unique. If you're here and haven't heard it, please go listen!
Imagine buckethead and serj tankian randomly deciding to play at your high school lol that’s a life long memory for the kids into rock music even a little
If there's one person in the music business that I'd love to be, it's Buckethead. Nobody bugs him on the street, his playing is pretty much universally regarded as next level no matter what level you're on, and I've never heard anybody say a bad thing about him despite him being uniquely, unapologetically and delightfully weird.
Oh my gosh the amount of amazing musicians in this video listed is so cool. Imagine seeing Buckethead, Serj Tankian, Brain, Saul Williams, and Zack De La Rocha performer at the same time lol
2:21 I was at that HS show, his dad and brother were both Football coaches at the school and his brother was my English teacher. It's been about 20 years but that footage does actually look like our old gym. If that's the footage from that night, I'd be only 4-5 feet left of the camera at the very front.
Wow. "sometimes he'd call me at 4am and leave me a 15 minute guitar solo on my voicemail" Holy crap thats funny. And exactly what I'd expect from Bucket 🤣 sounds like something I would do 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should check gnrs website. There are a bunch of cool stories and just general tales of his time with GnR, told by brain and others. Like the hand puppet talking and how Axl was totally into conversing with the puppet. And the story about the chicken coop/dog poop in a 50k a week studio...
The event he's referring to was at Damien Highschool a couple years before I was a freshman there. Coach Carroll (as we knew him then) is Buckethead's dad. I chatted with him one day while waiting for my ride home at the bus stop. He mentioned his son Brian played for Guns and Roses. He was a cool guy. Small world.
If Buckethead called me and left a 15 minute guitar solo on my answering machine I'd record that shit, put the physical copy in a shadowbox, and give it to a museum.
Buckethead is in a league of his own as a pure musical guitar player. His solo stuff has more depth and tone and touch than anything Satch or Vai has put out. Hes such a great instinctive player that doesnt overplay or masturbate musically like many and most great players do. His instrumental stuff could go on forever without limits. But like true greats, he knows the secret of restraint.
I was working security at the Showbox in Seattle maybe in 2017. I had microdosed because Buckethead was playing, but it was already turning out a little macro when I went into the green room to check that all the basics were there for the artist-and there was Buckethead, with his mask off, running through scales. I felt like I'd walked in on him in the bathroom! But he saw my bob Dobbs patch and pointed to it and smiled. Totally has the vibe of a gandalf type benevolent wizard. And looks a little like carrot top, only if life had been kinder to him lol. I couldn't talk very well on the radio that night but what a shiw
I've seen Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Megadeath, Sabaton, Iced Earth, Malmsteen and more. Alice Cooper was the best concert. That is simply the funnest show I ever went to.
Saw him during a Primus show in DC years ago. Les randomly says Buckethead, Buckethead. Proceeds to rip for 15 minutes or so. Disappears into the ether. Great show, thank you boys.
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
I'm a Buckethead fan, I have about 30 albums that he plays on. I've gone to at least 20 of his shows. Most of em' were amazing, but FZ dwarfs Buckethead as a composer. He worked from a much larger knowledge base and was musically much more imaginative. Buckethead is a great player but he's nowhere near as sonically unique as Allan Holdsworth, Terje Rypdal, David Torn or David Fiuczynski.
was first exposed to Buckethead through Praxis. friend had a single CD of the group. It was unlike anything i had heard up to then and can only describe it as experimental funkhop metal.
All I know is I was ready to quit guitar, Then Buckethead showed up and everything has been great again. I fear that If I don't, Lord Phobos would find it unacceptable if I were to skip the Buckethead lessons. Tom Scholz of Boston might start to believe that I need to be tiny in Japan if I were to skip the Buckethead lessons. I know David Copperfield will never stop until I'm his Shalomie. He knows what I'm up to.
It's crazy how much buckethead is slept on. He kind of has his own genre and it's like other people can't reach him on the same level. Very cool of Serge and co. to trust the artistic process.

This is official audio? This is 100% AI. I'm surprised if they were so cheap.
Buckethead opened up for Primus at my first concert in '99. I was not prepared.
If it was at the Palladium, I was there too... bought Monsters & Robots the next day
Man, what a way to lose your virginity. 😮
I was there too! Great show all around.
Ozzfest '99.
@zeuskingofallgods. I was at that show too. First show I ever went too.
"Let me make a record for you. I can have it done before dinner."
"Here's this 30 minute song I made in 5 minutes"
It would be a real winner, then have a chicken dinner!
yikes
I was one of the kids at this high school battle of the bands. I lost my mind seeing Serj, Brian, and Buckethead play at my high
school.
U would have been DJ R Hero but now you are Dr J Hero....
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 $50 to see Def Leppard. There was no comparison on how much better Buckethead show was.
I've seen him several times, once with Primus on an OzzFest...he started playing with nunchakus while robot dancing. Weird times.
@@victorcoleman949
Nothing weird about it. Happens when the toy store opens. Dude's a veteran nunchaku wizard at this point.
Saw bucket in Times Square at Sony. 25$ well spent.
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.
Yeah... waste of money went see him play and he decide to play with action figures foe 30 minutes i was pissed
Just saw Buckethead 4 nights ago at the Ogden in Denver. Man, what a show!!
I was there too. I agree. You just gotta appreciate his talent.
Great he's touring. I hope he comes to Ireland.
@@carpoman Sadly he never leaves America.
Saw him on Halloween in like 2017 at the house of blues. Saw him again a few months ago
Calls, leaves a 15 min guitar solo on the message machine.
That's a whole other level of eccentric epic right there.
Serj sounds like an AI trying to imitate Serj
I'm sure it is
Hes reading...
@@jimlong8077 It's AI he's not actually reading it
The video description says it's a section from his 10 hour long audiobook
I don't like that this is a thing that we have to think about now.
Imagine playing in a Battle of the Bands at your high school and you have to compete against Buckethead 🤣
😂😂😂
Buckethead, and Serj Tankian, and Brian Mantia … I would quit the battle and just enjoy the free concert lol. I wonder if anybody posted a video if it …
I wonder if they won.
@@E2theBizzle no but tbf they were up against wyld stallynz
I would just have to forfeit that one 😂🤣
New found respect for Serj Tankian.
Yep.
Buckethead, His music is so good. It inspired me to learn to play guitar again. Thank you, Buckethead!
He's so good it inspired me to give up the guitar
Man I wish I had people who I could just call up when I was hurting and needed money and bartered an album for the pay.
As a man going through financial strife, I can appreciate and recognize the love in those actions
Our poverty. Word, brother.
It’s gonna be ok, bro. Your community wants to help you

I’ve seen Buckethead 4 times live, going to see him August 30th, @ Janus Live St. Petersburg Fl.
Seeing him for the first time in Saint Pete, then the second time the next night in Orlando. I literally cannot wait for this epic experience
@@musicmuse7022 right on brother. What a blast to see him perform. Puts a grin on my face from ear to ear.
Get there early and get up front near the stage and bring some sort of toy as a gift for Bucket. He digs that.

I'm in palm coast . will try to get there.

👁wish Buckethead would leave a 15 minute solo @ 4am on my phone
👀🤳
Me too, but he is the featured artist on my ringtones and alarms and I can pretend.
Time to turn my answer phone back on!
@@UATU. Me too!
I know, right?
Listen to Sourced Autonomy, it's basically a 15 minute Buckethead solo... absolute madness.
Pure gold. Thanks NatterNet!
I dabble with guitar as a hobby. I also have chickens, had em my whole life. They truly are my little friends. They surround me when I go in with them for attention, and they learn faster than dogs. Interesting creatures when you really get to learn about them
You should try giving some of the chickens a chance to play guitar
@@FredMcC They're better at playing the keyboards. 🎹🎹
Show a video of you teaching a chicken to fetch. Oh they can't? What do they learn faster than dogs, how to eat?
@eriklarson9137 they can learn a number of things. Lots of birds can, treat based like any animal. Your argument is not with me but with science. Look it up. They can see fast motion better than us too, can remember hundreds of faces as well. Chickens will study you more than you study them.
@eriklarson9137 I didnt say they were smarter than dogs, just that they learn faster
"If you need money I can just give you money." I wish I was friends with Serj.

I wonder if he remembers Fair to Midland? He performed with them a few times back in the day. I miss that band so much.
If Buckethead called me and left a 15 minute guitar solo on my answering machine I'd record that shit, put the physical copy in a shadowbox, and give it to a museum.
One of my favourite albums.
such an incredibly unengaging reading voice for such an awesome singer hehe
Buckethead is in a league of his own as a pure musical guitar player.
His solo stuff has more depth and tone and touch than anything Satch or Vai has put out.
Hes such a great instinctive player that doesnt overplay or masturbate musically like many and most great players do.
His instrumental stuff could go on forever without limits. But like true greats, he knows the secret of restraint.
Ahh, i love to hear that Serj and Buckethead are/were friends! Woo!
Is Serj Tankian normally this well spoken or is he reading something he had wrote? Either way he articulates himself well.
It definitely sounded odd, almost AI-like, but Serj is pretty well spoken from what I’ve heard in other interviews with him.
Once in a lifetime gig for the school kids.
I was working security at the Showbox in Seattle maybe in 2017. I had microdosed because Buckethead was playing, but it was already turning out a little macro when I went into the green room to check that all the basics were there for the artist-and there was Buckethead, with his mask off, running through scales. I felt like I'd walked in on him in the bathroom! But he saw my bob Dobbs patch and pointed to it and smiled. Totally has the vibe of a gandalf type benevolent wizard. And looks a little like carrot top, only if life had been kinder to him lol. I couldn't talk very well on the radio that night but what a shiw
I've seen Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Megadeath, Sabaton, Iced Earth, Malmsteen and more. Alice Cooper was the best concert. That is simply the funnest show I ever went to.
I am a huge Serj and S.O.A.D. fan, but never mentioning Fair To Midland and what happened to them just never gets mentioned.
Saw him during a Primus show in DC years ago. Les randomly says Buckethead, Buckethead. Proceeds to rip for 15 minutes or so. Disappears into the ether. Great show, thank you boys.
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
I'm a Buckethead fan, I have about 30 albums that he plays on. I've gone to at least 20 of his shows. Most of em' were amazing, but FZ dwarfs Buckethead as a composer. He worked from a much larger knowledge base and was musically much more imaginative. Buckethead is a great player but he's nowhere near as sonically unique as Allan Holdsworth, Terje Rypdal, David Torn or David Fiuczynski.
Just saw Buckethead 2 days ago, it was incredible
Cool story,, thank you
Wait there's a Saul Williams and Buckethead collab? I gotta hear this
I've seen Buckethead twice live here in Colorado with my 2 sons. We are all guitarists and very much enjoy his mastery.
Does anyone know where the chicken amusement park is? I need to see this.
was first exposed to Buckethead through Praxis. friend had a single CD of the group. It was unlike anything i had heard up to then and can only describe it as experimental funkhop metal.
Hey I work at a chicken plant foster Farms by the way and I love great guitar player's he is the greatest
All I know is I was ready to quit guitar, Then Buckethead showed up and everything has been great again.
I fear that If I don't, Lord Phobos would find it unacceptable if I were to skip the Buckethead lessons.
Tom Scholz of Boston might start to believe that I need to be tiny in Japan if I were to skip the Buckethead lessons.
I know David Copperfield will never stop until I'm his Shalomie. He knows what I'm up to.
for this video you deserved our sub... :).... \o/
Great thank you!
Is that Butthouse on bass at the high school gig?
It's crazy how much Serj looks like Frank Zappa, and speaking of Zappa, he'd have loved Buckethead.
It's crazy how much buckethead is slept on. He kind of has his own genre and it's like other people can't reach him on the same level. Very cool of Serge and co. to trust the artistic process.
///+..+\\\ Awesomeness, Thanks for the share NatterNet🤘🏽🐓🤖
I want to see what an amusement park for chickens would look like
Hemingway talked too. It also wasn’t in this video.
