I've seen him live 22 times (so far). He is 6'7, moonwalks, robot dances, does nunchucks, and hands out toys to folks in the audience. He's recorded almost 400 albums - so far. He did some great music with Primus and Les Claypool's Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains.
John 5 is better at all of the styles Buckethead is proficient at and doesn't feel the need to make an album every time he's practicing, Miyavi invented an entirely new style of playing the guitar on top of what he's playing being extremely complex and last but very much not least, as fast as Buckethead is, there will never be anybody as fast as Jason Becker. Buckethead is one of the most overrated in history.
That button is signal kill switch he is actually playing the notes by tapping with his left hand and using that kill switch to control how long those notes ring.
Fun fact: Everyone who knows him confirms that Buckethead doesn't drink, do drugs, or swear. Hilariously, according to Brain, I think it might be accurately be, "Hold my Diet Coke".
"whitewash".. when i heard this song so many years ago i was floored. i had never heard anything like it.. this song took me to an ethereal place that i never knew existed.
my pleasure friend, i didn't want to like him because of the persona but ultimately the music is undeniable. lesson here is never judge the book by it's cover
The live version (just look for Buckethead on you tube, it's the first video that appears) is what hooked me. probably still my favorite tune. OK it's not the first anymore but here it is: th-cam.com/video/8akmP6Sjv2o/w-d-xo.html
@@chenlankapulangames1990 yup, you seem knowledgeable. I'd heard the inspiration was from PETA propaganda films. Is this the movie your talking about? That's why the early versions of the bucket were branded buckets with the word MURDER on duct tape. I like the white bucket alot better though. It just looks more uhmm... solid.
@@wherehouseedm I think he changed from kfc to plain bucket at one point due to kfc threatening to sue him for using their property. One of the things that makes buckethead so mysterious is the fact there is 1000s of stories about him and probably less than 10% of it is true like some sort of mythical legend.
i was at this show! I was like 13 or 14 years old. One of the best memories in my life. During the toy part he held a mask under his right arm separate from the bag of toys and he saved it for last, he shook my hand when he gave it to me. Insane
The reactions I've been looking for are all here. I love seeing and being a part of someone expanding thier musical horizons. Music is such a huge part of my life, and people who are actually trying to explore it should inspire others to do the same. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Love Bucket!! Buckethead has funk, blues, metal, experimental, jazz, rock..you name.. One of my favourite song journeys with Buckethead is lurker at the threshold with all its parts..you’ll love it man🤘🏻
This is really my first time hearing an entire Buckethead song,and let me tell you I am mighty impressed.I’d love to hear that song he did with Bootsy Collins.
Congratulations on discovering the world of Buckethead's music. Since finding him back in 2014 I along with many others have been swept along in the wake of this wonderful artist's journey. Take care, and thanks for sharing.
I was literally watching a bunch of BUCKETHEAD videos and then your reaction came up recommended. Oh the TH-cam algorithm gods have spoken. LOL GREAT reaction ! Buckethead is a BEAST !
Praxis - crash victim is a good one Or for just buckethead android of Notre dame, jowles, final wars, or welcome to buckethead land would be some good ones Awesome reaction by the way and nice little Easter egg at the end there
The majority of this song is done with hammer-ons and his killswitch button (of which there are 2, they are red). To obtain the main groove, slam your fingers on the fretted string and kill the sound with the button. The button is a momentary killswitch which kills the sound for as long as you depress it. So he gets the robot sound by pressing it over and over, faster and faster.
More Buckethead ! Hold me forever,Erie canal, Look up there the album , Patrolman live version, Interworld , Too many humans, Earth heal herself and Claymation Courtyard to name a Few ! Enjoy !

You gotta check out Bucketheads first band, The Deli Creeps. Most people dont know this band even exists. There is a vocalist as well. I'd try the studio versions over the live videos.
My best friend and I saw Buckethead on April 19th, 2019 at Sony Hall in Manhattan. My friend is Black, and I kinda, maybe, forced him to go. Anyway, we get there and during the show I kept asking my buddy "Do you want to go?", but he stuck it out. This Black girl kept walking in between us to get to her seat, and at one point, I told my buddy that I think she's trying to pick me up. Long story, short, I didn't get any!! The show was awesome. He stand's 6' 6" tall, without the bucket, and he always wears a one piece jump suit, like a mechanic, or "Jason". Sucks not being able to visit my friend! Great reaction! Just subscribed too and I'm happy about that!!!
Thats exactly it, buckethead got the mask idea, u nailed it. Before his stage name was even buckethead he played with no mask and has extreme facial expressions. How could u not playing like that. Imagine beinf his friend, in the room first time seeing him jam with the mask on. Prob was hilarious the blank expression. Is perfect.
Not sure where you got this from.There's almost no footage of him playing without a mask. Except for when he was a teenager playing for class x. It's terrible quality and you pretty much can't see much of his face He initially got the mask and early stages of his character making homemade horror movies with his friends. After eating chicken one night he put on his michael myers mask popped the bucket on his head looked in the mirror and said yup thats Buckethead. One day he played with the mask and it just stuck because of how much it helped him with his social anxiety and stage fright. Not much longer after he just did the whole character bucket n all.
Umm... And you KNOW I love Buckethead.... I would suggest Praxis with Bootsie Collins that shit is insane!!! Umm also Aunt Suzie, Final Wars, Mount Shasta.... this guy is insanely talented I don't know the name of the album but the songs are "Transmutation" and "The Interworld and The New Innocence"..... some amazing amazing music. Bootsie on bass Bernie Worrell on keyboards and Brain on drums... this does not get ANY better! Love ya, TNT!! RIP BERNIE I WILL SEE YOU ON THE BEACH AND WILL SHAKE THE PILLARS OF HEAVEN!!!
If you like that song, you could check out one of his Pikes (Pikes are small albums. During one year, he released almost 1, 2 or even 3 pikes per week. Crazy MF. I really love the one dedicated to his mother who passed away. "Hold me tight" or something like that. Its Pike #65 and has 5 songs on it, IIRC. His mother's name was Nancy, and the songs are called N-A-N-C-Y. Yes, it's 35 minutes. And you won't regret it.
Listen to this song while watching a compilation video of NBA superstar Michael JORDAN, since that was who inspired the song, and thus, who it's named for...😉
TNT where do you live ? You gotta go see him next tour !Seeing him In person from the front is the best ever ! especially if you go in loving him like you seem to ! . Let us know where you are, I am sure some one will get you a ticket for the next tour and everyone will love you from your Bucket Vids !
I think the mask started from shyness but evolved into a symbol of not distracting your attention from the only thing that matters, the guitar playing.
Crack open a brewski and put your feet up while you listen to Lone Lagoon, Blue, Machete or Ghost. Buckethead is just amazing and good to see another soul discovering the wonder of his music :)
Big Ds touch, pike 65, binge and grab. Although those are softer relaxing ones he’s done I think you would prefer: nottinghamlace, lotus island, inbred mountain(album).
Jordan is Buckethead's "show-off song" for what he can do with a kill switch button and a pitch shift pedal. But usually, he does not show off, all the technical mastery and shredding serves a purpose in shaping the music to represent emotion. As a next step I recommend "Eerie Canal". Please do listen to the studio version of this, and also of Soothsayer, because there's no less rawness, but much more clarity than in the live performances. In the end, I could give you a 20-hour "best of Buckethead" playlist, but that's just what I like the most from his discography. Everyone finds something different in those >300 solo albums.
This song is a tribute to Michael Jordan. Buckethead is a huge basketball fan. He has many songs inspired by basketball. Redeem Team, and few about Lebron too.
Hey, here's Buckethead's Wiki Page. He has performed every Genre music there is and even made up a couple of Genre's during his career, He is a master!
Ya. You can't go wrong with any of his stuff. If you include all his collabs and side projects like Praxis, Frankenstein Brothers, Death Cube K and Guns n Roses, he has somewhere close to 400 albums. Metal to Bluegrass, blues, new age. He is the Dennys of guitar music, something for everyone. Corpse Be Animated or Earth Heals Herself are a couple of suggestions. Welcome to Bucketheadland!
he must have installed a normally-open pushbutton next to his pickup switch, or in place of it, to get the killswitch effect. his right hand doesn't seem to be moving the way it would if he were flicking a toggle.
*He has like 300+ studio-recorded albums... Loved the reaction haha, how I felt the first time I saw this piece. 🤘 I’ll sub man, more like this plz ty.
Watch; BUCKETHEAD [proshot] 2006-06-04 ITALIAN AMERICAN SOCIAL CLUB LasVegas NV Disc 1 part 3 (14:04) (A must see buckethead performance) This set that he played starts with "Jordan but mixes and other songs and plays night of the slunk, then some stuff that's a bit too fast and sounds like Ingvay Malmstein, but then it shifts to the "most" funky and "coolest" guitar solo "Ever" ! Parts of it sound like Peter Framptom's voice synthesized guitar other parts a sound like a DJs turntable! It's more unbelievable genius from Buckethead that if you haven't seen it, then you are just missing out on the Ultimate Funkiest Funkiness of Buckethead Ever !
In 2006 Buckethead was doing lots of performances in nightclubs on the LasVegas Strip. His set performances are always original and his guitar transitions from one song to the next are too. That's part of what makes him a music wonder ! That the kill-switch on his guitar. That's really "his" thing. I think that he uses the kill switch in all of his songs. (Maybe not) Buckethead is 6'7" and wears his Mask and Bucket whenever he is performing for an audience, which for Buckethead means "always in public". Wherever he goes to perform, he also walks their public sidewalks "in full costume" doing the Robot in spontaneous fashion. (Even in Paris) he might board a bus and go shopping at the village market. His public dancing and robot performance are very funny and entertaining. Buckethead..."Master of the Robot dance " !
He is real real peculiar I guess you could say as well as shy as you can possibly be and he lives his life as such. He auditioned for Ozzy, but he wouldn't take off the mask and Ozzy I said okay well thanks anyway mate... Anyway those fingers move like spiders he can stretch is 7 fret scale and blister should like the 70s Alex lifeson
Just some songs to listen to in your spare time, if you'd like: Buckethead ------------------- All In The Waiting Angel Monster Baptism of Solitude Beginning Putrification Chase The Darkness Out The Coats of Claude Dancing The Dream Disintegration Mirrors Earth Heals Herself er (Pike #65) Flare Fractal Shadows Leave The Light On The Light In The Fog Look Up There The Miracle of Surrender The Moltrail Part 2 Northern Lights Padmasana Plastination Station Sail on Soothsayer (In Memory of Aunt Susie 1932-2007)[different song than 'Soothsayer'] Siege Engine Sketches of Spain (For Miles) Too Many Humans Track 6 (Pike #13) Trails of Moondust The Way To Heaven
I've seen him live 22 times (so far). He is 6'7, moonwalks, robot dances, does nunchucks, and hands out toys to folks in the audience. He's recorded almost 400 albums - so far. He did some great music with Primus and Les Claypool's Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains.

Xero Delacroix k, but you wrong doe
Xero Delacroix lol blatantly wrong. Bucket can play literally any genre.
@@xerodelacroix5552 you sound 100% delusional
Me: You can't play guitar with a button...
Buckethead: Hold my beer...
That button is signal kill switch he is actually playing the notes by tapping with his left hand and using that kill switch to control how long those notes ring.
@RegurgiNate 1984 Brain knows for sure. One of B's best friends.

Yass
The question is not how to react to Buckethead , but how Buckethead reacts to Humans
This is how he reacts to Micheal Jordan.
Saw this dude live, and everything sounded exactly like the album. Pure skill and talent. One the best.
Social anxiety is why he’s covered head to toe...except his hands.
similar with deadmou5
Nope. He watched a movie and got a mask and KFC bucket and looked in a mirror and said "this is Buckethead"

Once you’re a buckethead fan, you just can’t listen to other music the same anymore. In his slower stuff you can actually feel the emotion. Legendary!

This is really my first time hearing an entire Buckethead song,and let me tell you I am mighty impressed.I’d love to hear that song he did with Bootsy Collins.
Their band is called Praxis.
Check out any song from his Population Override album. It has element's of rock/funk/blues/soul. All the songs are a great listen.
Any project with Travis Dickerson is wonderful. You can still get some of these "OOP" CD's at tdrsmusic.com
This guy is insanely good, with tentacle length fingers! Genius level 🤘

The Ballad of Buckethead. You won’t regret it, I promise!
Listen some his acoustic jazz songs... that takes to another level. The pike Electric Sea is a good one!

It was made most famous, because back in the early 2000s it was his debut as far as being on Guitar Hero and you could play it it was pretty wicked

To obtain the main groove, slam your fingers on the fretted string and kill the sound with the button. The button is a momentary killswitch which kills the sound for as long as you depress it.

This dude is inhuman, I'm pretty sure if we need evidence of extraterrestrial life, this is who we need to be looking at.

Imagine beinf his friend, in the room first time seeing him jam with the mask on. Prob was hilarious the blank expression. Is perfect.
Not sure where you got this from.There's almost no footage of him playing without a mask. Except for when he was a teenager playing for class x. It's terrible quality and you pretty much can't see much of his face
He initially got the mask and early stages of his character making homemade horror movies with his friends. After eating chicken one night he put on his michael myers mask popped the bucket on his head looked in the mirror and said yup thats Buckethead. One day he played with the mask and it just stuck because of how much it helped him with his social anxiety and stage fright. Not much longer after he just did the whole character bucket n all.
This is mi guitar favorite ♥️

wtf... Greatest live guitar performance ever.
7 laws of woo dawg..trust me it's beyond funky and the solo is ridiculously good.
Buckethead is fanominal live
Aunt Suzie is one of my favorite chill songs with lights down low and some kind nugs on blaze
Welcome to buckethead land is a good one however siege engine is a song I’ve listened to everyday for about a month!!
Siege Engine and The Redeem Team are the ones I listen to the most.
Brian Carroll (Buckethead) is absolutely one of the best guitarists on the planet!
İt's like if a huge fan of hip hop rap and funk listening him first time and being like "what? İs this possible with a guitar?"
He has nearly 300 albums you have a lot to get through keep them coming
He's also worked with Bernie Worrell from P-Funk in a couple of projects: Praxis and Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains
Soothsayer is a well-known.one of his, but it's an undisputed classic written for his Aunt Suzie who gave him his first guitar.
If you like that song, you could check out one of his Pikes (Pikes are small albums. During one year, he released almost 1, 2 or even 3 pikes per week. Crazy MF.

1-killswitch on your guitar

3-guitar god skills
Siege Engine "live" is his best shredding song to me.
Live at Toads isnt the most viewed but it might be my favorite on TH-cam. The one from KC is awesome too.
just wait until you see him tapping on guitar while also robot dancing and using a nunchuck all at the same time
"genius level musicianship" that the correct description :-)
He’s got a band with Bootsie and Bernie from Parliament... That band is called Praxis.
The mask and bucket are his superpowers. Too shy to perform without it
LOL at the last 30 seconds! I love it. MORE BUCKETHEAD!! Check out Night Of The Slunk Live Mishawaka 06 please!
If you like the funkiness of Jordan you will really enjoy Nottingham Lace
Buckethead is literally the ultimate guitar God
Coaster coat- it’s not a live version. But it is a masterpiece. BH 4 ever.
he must have installed a normally-open pushbutton next to his pickup switch, or in place of it, to get the killswitch effect.

In 2006 Buckethead was doing lots of performances in nightclubs on the LasVegas Strip. His set performances are always original and his guitar transitions from one song to the next are too. That's part of what makes him a music wonder ! That the kill-switch on his guitar. That's really "his" thing. I think that he uses the kill switch in all of his songs. (Maybe not)
Buckethead is 6'7" and wears his Mask and Bucket whenever he is performing for an audience, which for Buckethead means "always in public". Wherever he goes to perform, he also walks their public sidewalks "in full costume" doing the Robot in spontaneous fashion. (Even in Paris) he might board a bus and go shopping at the village market. His public dancing and robot performance are very funny and entertaining. Buckethead..."Master of the Robot dance " !
ALBUM- MONSTERS AND ROBOTS 1999 his best effort from the old school
He is real real peculiar I guess you could say as well as shy as you can possibly be and he lives his life as such. He auditioned for Ozzy, but he wouldn't take off the mask and Ozzy I said okay well thanks anyway mate... Anyway those fingers move like spiders he can stretch is 7 fret scale and blister should like the 70s Alex lifeson
That guy is very interesting...I can't remember one thing though..But he's good!
If you would like to know more about him let me know I know a lot about him and the origins and also Iwould listen to hold me forever
Yes I would😃
Yoo that red dinosaur on the amp behind him. I gave him that during the show xD i was 14. Will never forget that night

Claymation Courtyard is a very good one. No shred but rhythmically awesome. But you really can't go wrong with anything in his catalog.
Awesome man 👌🏻🍺
legends say that he recorded the solo on the first and only take
Everyone says that, because he did
I personally like "Whitewash" by him as well. It`s off of his Coma cd.
