I’ve seen Buckethead three times with my son. All three times right up next to the stage. Every time, he hands out toys to the people in the front, and we’ve both played his kill switch. My son has all of our toys in his bedroom studio as mementos. I must say, that those concerts with my son will be something neither of us will forget.
Saw him December 2017 in LA and changed my life forever. My girlfriend and I love...absolutely love buckethead. We had a hard time....my fault....and went our separate ways. I went to bucketheads show by myself a few months after break up and he graced us with interworld and the new innocence and animal behavior. I completely lost it. Broke down in tears mid show. During intermission I was having a smoke and a guy saw the look on my face and asked me what could possibly be wrong. We talked for a bit and it was at that moment I realized I had made the biggest mistake of my life leaving my girlfriend. 2 days later I reached out to her. Needless to say almost 2 years later we are stronger than ever and I will be asking her to marry me. So yes buckethead affects so many people in such a positive way. I hope he knows what he means to us....his fans. Really liked your comment and felt like replying. Best wishes to you and your son and your family
@@willong1000 she did! Thank you for your kind sentiments Will. Narrowed down the bride/groom announcement song to 10 or so....so many choices. Definitely going to incorporate Patrolman, Scraps, and Whitewash somewhere in the reception. Pray buckethead knows how much his music means to us....thank you Brian Carrol
amazing....my son listened to buckethead when he was in junior high nonstop for like an entire year....now he is going to Berklee School of Music in Boston, majoring in jazz guitar.....he credits Buckethead for his career and musical influence.....this guy has no idea how many kids he has influenced over the years.....
My son is 12 and ive just bought him his 1st electric guitar and introduced him to buckethead he has barly put the thing down in the last 2 days since i bought it. My work is done. Now its up to him to put the time and effort into it if thats the path he chooses.
Hats off 2 theBUCKETHEAD....M.MMMMMM 4 B- ING THE. GREAT INFLUENCE THAT HE IS......WHEN HE LEAVES THE PLANET........IMAGINE GOD......LISTENING 2 JIMI,SRV,DUANE,ROY B.,BB,ROBERT J.and JOHNNY WINTER....ALL BEING ACCOMPANIED BY NONE OTHER THAN THE GREAT BUCKET HIMSELF.... JOHNNY2BRAIDS PEACE
I "discovered" Buckethead this year (2023) at 60 years old, and no matter how many times I watch this video and others, I'm amazed every time by his technical abilities and his talent as an overall musician. I grew up around a lot of amazing professional musicians/guitarists, and I can only hope that I get the chance to see him live soon, as I would happily pay for front row no matter the cost if I had the money!!! Hey Mr. B, how about an invite to your next show. I'm a retired Professional Chef with 30+ years of experience and will provide you some awesome things for you to enjoy during the event and afterwards. Like Mom told me, it never hurts to ask. ;)
I highly highly highly recommend listening to his entire catalog. Although it will take you a long time, as he makes music ALL THE TIME. Seriously, like 20 albums of just songs from him messing around that arent EP/LP's. If you want an emotional rollercoaster of pure beauty, listen to the album Colma. Buckethead is probably my favorite guitarist to ever exist.
I'm 55 and couldn't say more. I mean I've seen a lot and he covers all boards and holds his own is his creativity with flawlessness. And we wears a bucket dude...SO many favorites I have and was a happen upon through Pandora on Satch's channel.
12:00 he let the audience play his guitar - and shook there hands like a fucking human, id be hard pressed to have an experience like that seeing another band...beautiful. Just discovered this guy 30min ago and I am already a huge fucking fan, just genuine talent and love for what he does..wow
Discovered him yesterday and I am a massive fan now too. He's absolutely awesome. Can't believe I never heard of him even though he played for Guns & Roses
@@laughingkars889 I love seeing comments like this from anyone who's just recently found him! That was me too, in April 2019. Like you, I couldn't believe that I'd never looked him up before I did and I could have kicked myself, I was instantly hooked!
A legend who's name rarely comes up in the conversation of greatest guitar players. He has more of a cult following it's seems. He should get mentioned more, for sure.
A legend indeed! I knew that he replaced Slash many years ago, but never really got into his work or post Slash GnR. I’m only now realizing how truly great he is!
Just another GREAT GUITAR GUITAR 🎸 GUY…. WA, WA, PEDAL, FUZZ TONE. POWER BOOSTER! Older stuff, but he’s really boring with me, Jimmy Hendrix he invented the love of LONG SOLOS….. MESCALINE IS GOOD…. PURPLE HAZE IS GOOD. MORE BAND MEMBERS ARE BETTER THAN…. LETTING the customers play. 🫢🎸⚔️☮️☮️☮️🍷🍷🍷🎶🎶🎶🍒🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐣🐥🐣🐥🐣🐥
@Hunter Vonnegut bs. nowadays its marketablility. good songwriting... when did that last matter? the 90s? sorry but almost all popular music since 2000 is trash. the days where popular music was made because of making music are long gone. its about sales, insta and other shit.
Tonight a man with ghetto blaster type equipment with lights was walking past while I was waiting for someone. I heard this unbelievable relaxing music that made me dance like no one was watching. He came over I asked what music it was I’d never heard of bucket head until tonight. What amazing music . Thank you.
I am French but this song is not a question of language ! It means so much to me : it speaks about life, joy, anger, happiness, sadness, melancoly... Love, disappointement, sadness... Thanks Mr Buckethead 😘
@@DanielNewman38 He actually wrote “Soothsayer” in 2006 but his mother passed in 2014. You are thinking of “Hold Me Forever” which he wrote for her after she passed. Both are absolute classics. Very powerful and emotional roller coasters for sure. Rest in Peace Nancy York Carrol Thank you for giving us such a talent of a man. (My name is also Dan btw 🪣 🤖 🎸 ✌️)
Once you meet Buckethead's music, you enter another dimension of music. Nothing to do with whatever you've been listening. There's no going back. You may still listen to your favourite and most notorious guitar players you've grown up with. But you know it's a different story....
Theres almost no guitarist as effortless and flawless as Buckethead. I know some people scoff at him because of the attire but as a guitarist there are next to no guitarists in history as talented as he. So much respect for this guy.
@@taden8544 far better in terms of what? speed? listen to him..to me BH has far more feeling and heart in his playing than JL.. both are fucking fast (but beeing fast means often that it sounds cold and digital)
Amazing guitarist...I started listening to him almost 30 years ago when he lived across the street from my friend. He'd give her piano lessons. Always kind and always humble.
@bullithole9004 he didn't like to be seen as popular, one of the reasons he left GNR because people would go just to watch him shred and beautifully play the melodies. Truly one of the most disciplined and humble people.
One of his favorite things to do with his friend and frequent drummer Brain is drive around all over looking for a soda fountain that serves the "perfect diet coke". Wholesome is definitely the right word for him.
Loe Kevin Sorono LOE KEVIN UTUBE U SOME MICHEAL A BATIORANDY RHODES TRIBUTE ED VAN HALEN DIME BAG!!!! 8 PILLARS. HANDS WITH KNOW SHADOWS. Guinness SAID HE WAS 3RD FASTEST EVER
I'm going to be honest, I'm in a similar boat with you on this one, although I've been a fan for a while now. But the first time I ever saw him, I HATED him, only because it was when he played with (fake) GnR at the MTV VMA's (whatever year that was), and I was like, this dudes a f'n weirdo, AND trying to jack Slash of his shoes. Little did I realize, years later, that he fits in them just fine, if not a bit better (as painful as that is to say).
Genius guitar player. Long fingers, it’s almost like he was designed to play on another level. He makes a guitar do things it was not even designed to do.
He’s certainly a masterful player but there are many guitarists in different genres as facile, who also make beautiful music (many with short fingers). That said, there is some serious mental disturbance manifest here: to hide behind a ridiculous Michael Myer’s Halloween mask and wear a KFC chicken bucket on your head for your entire career.
The way he switches styles effortlessly...shred, to melodic, to heavy rhythm, to shred, back to melodic, to bluesy...damn. And he wrings a level of emotion out of that guitar that rivals my all-time favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan. Very different styles but both of them could tell a story and make you FEEL with just a guitar.
I met him 2 yrs ago without this mask on just the sweetest guy ever got his autograph the guy has gone that a lot medical issues wish he plays on for many decades to come!
Look up some buckethead interviews , he talks for a bit and you would find he is one of the nicest guys to speak. The mask could be a large part of why he is so shy though.
I'm just scrolling through the feed and this popped up.Never heard of "Buckethead". Thought it would be a joke but I don't think I have ever heard anything that could really even come close to the Amazing sounds this guy can squeeze out!🎉
In 2001 at Rock in Rio, he was in Guns' n Roses, and my father had passed away a few days, something 25 days, was Ona huge depression was when I saw him playing in the band, and I just stared at him . He took me to a level above my depression. Three months later I lost my sister to cancer, and again he helped me with his songs ... to me, he's the best, as well as being an excellent multiintrumentista, he is charismatic. Always follow.
Yep, Buckethead is hands-down one of the best guitarists of his generation. He’s been doing his thing for quite a while and he is very well known among guitar players. Dude is guitar legend status.
In the 90‘s I went to Madrid to my first vacation outside my home country without my parents. My hostel room had a tiny TV and one of the channels would feature bands at night. That‘s when I first heard bucket head (it was him, a DJ and a drummer) and I was blown away and watched in awe for hours. It took me years to actually find out who he is. That is such an intense and lasting memory, I barely can remember anything else from that trip.
I am no musician, but I have to say that Buckethead is perhaps THE greatest guitar player of all time. Thank you Mr. B. for your lovely and moving music...
You must be drunk and deff shows your no musician.. maybe tryn to actually list to music be commenting you sound silly as fuk think he best I. World. 😆
I was there also! Front and center. My 6th time seeing him. On Friday the 13th ,his BD, I shook his hand, hit the killswitch and got a batman mask from him! I love you Bucket! Thanks again Jack for these treasures.
I just sincerely hope that Brian has people in his life that Bless and inspire him as much as he does for all of us with his music and time he spends with his audience.
This is what you call a very down to earth arist. Definetly one of the greatest guitar players and most well respected people out there especially for the fact he interacts with his fans and audience. Guy is a living legend, gotta love Buckethead
His articulation is excellent. I was in the recording industry for 15 years. When music took a turn for the worst, i ran fast. Been out of it for 20+ years now. First time hearing this guy.....so far so good
Music is music, it does not get worse or better, just different. 12 notes, just rearranged over and over. I would respectfully suggest that the music industry took a turn for the worse not too long ago.
I was turned on to this guy only a few days ago after a young guy begged me to watch him. At first, as an old school guy, I said I don't want to watch a dude with a chicken bucket on his head. After all, I come from the generation of Randy Rhodes, Slash and others. But, he convinced me to listen and I've been kicking myself ever since for not listening sooner. This guy is the BEST electric guitar player I've ever heard or heard...period. And I think I've heard them all, all the way back to the seventies. Page, Rhodes, Slash, Beck, Dokken...etc. I've never seen someone so precise on the hard stuff. For those that don't play, using the index finger is the easiest. The pinky is the hardest. He seems to use them all without bias. It's absolutely incredible to me that his pinky is as profound as his index finger in playing. Not only that, it is as precise...no mistakes in tone or mutation. Almost inhuman. Perhaps that is why he wears the mask. He plays like a robot when it comes to precision, but he also puts the very human art of variance and nuance that robots can't do. Simply incredible.
th-cam.com/video/oaIzEo013iI/w-d-xo.html this is him impersonating different players without actually playing anything they wrote hahahaha. th-cam.com/video/aA8fzsE7tWU/w-d-xo.html this is off his album erotic cakes.
I ONLY RECENTLY discovered Buckethead (LAST WEEK) and I honestly feel like IF he had lived, Jimi would have LOVED to play with Buckethead. I too am an "old school" guy who has followed the greats, Page, Gilmour, Jimi (of course) Duane Allman, Trower, Iommi, Rhodes, Santana, AND in my DECADES of searching out the next "VOODOO CHILD" have never found a more worthy individual more deserving of the title, "ALL HAIL VOODOO CHILD BUCKETHEAD"!!!!! " I SAID TURN THAT DAMN GUITAR DOWN"!!!!!!!
Buckethead is one of the most virtuoso of guitarists in the genre of rock guitar. HE is one of the top 25 guitarists I've listened to and enjoyed most.
How can some people still say that buckethead is a shred-a-holic with no soul and no feeling in his play ? Listen to that and make amend. Music for my head, my heart and my... something else. Makes me shiver often, makes me breathe fast... true artistry, which means that the effects on yourself cannot fully be described. Beyond words.
I've been listening to this song for nearly 6 years and never commented. Buckethead Soothsayer really hits a special note for me. I found this song when I was going through it. Every opioid compound you could get access to. Working through sobriety I listened to this shit daily. Find a medium and pass through it. The way out..... Is through. Find it.
To this day I listen to a light in the fog, the pathless road, aunt Suzie, padmasana everyday for my workouts. I puts me in a good frame of mind. His music feeds my soul.
I watch/listen to this video every few months since it was first posted. Of all the hundreds of live Buckethead videos I've watched, this is my favorite!
Hes not that great of guitarist. Guys that can play smoking circles around him are a dime a dozen, these days. What he is, is a musician. He is expressive, which is something those dime a dozen technicians don't have.
Saw him play at All good in 2009. When we got to the stage, there was a crowd of thousands my son said follow me and we got really close! What an amazing show! Saw him in Charlottesville and he was awesome about 6 years ago. Best guitar player I have ever seen or heard and I am 66
I was very happy watching this video. Buckethead is an incredible guitarist. I remembered Rory Gallagher's presentations, who also liked interacting with the public.
I had a friend in middle school you loved buckethead. Being a metalhead myself, I really don't know why I never checked him out before. Here I am, almost 27 years old, finally checking him out. I'm blown away. I don't know what kept me away.
+Mitchell S. Glad I could help you with inspiration, I hope you do great things and maybe in the future you could play guitar like buckethead, anything is possible if you put your mind to it
I'm mad that your mad because not everybody likes what you like this sounds like somebody just running through scales half the time very boring if you ask me so
I never get sick of watching him. Hits me right in my heart every time. Im a bass player....watch peeps like wooten and les claypool....but the one guitarist i keep commin back to watch is Bucket
Eargasm! Great footage and equally impressive to see & hear The Bucket return to ferocious, maniacal, mechanical, chicken coop, sustained slunk form!!!
His perfect technique is mesmerizing . fuckin guy can play like a wizard and write catchy riffs and solo in a variety of styles showing absolutely zero effort. do I tire sometimes of the over indulging in pure speed shredding? yah , but I am a guy who gets more out of a catchy riff then the extended solos of pure shredders. either way, this guy is at the top of the game when it gets to electric guitar.
I couldn't agree more - the man is a phenomenon. He's a super human. He's a genius on the level of great mathematicians and physicists - just in a different realm.
Mr. Lightening Fingers really storming the explosive bolts while celebrating his birthday! May you have many, many more! Not too many guitarists can stand on the same stage as this guitar hero!!!😊
Awesome video and I like the description..well said. Buckethead is and has pretty much always been in his own league. I dont think anyone else will ever be able to release 250 albums and master the guitar the way he has. Not to mention the fact that hes still never shown his face in public. The mans a true virtuoso.
FINALLY A CLEAR AND CLEAN SOOTHSAYER VIDEO 🙌❤🙌 I love how he starts slapping his guitar towards the end like Les Claypool does w his bass definitely a funky groove added to this!!
I’ve seen Buckethead three times with my son. All three times right up next to the stage. Every time, he hands out toys to the people in the front, and we’ve both played his kill switch. My son has all of our toys in his bedroom studio as mementos. I must say, that those concerts with my son will be something neither of us will forget.
Saw him December 2017 in LA and changed my life forever. My girlfriend and I love...absolutely love buckethead. We had a hard time....my fault....and went our separate ways. I went to bucketheads show by myself a few months after break up and he graced us with interworld and the new innocence and animal behavior. I completely lost it. Broke down in tears mid show. During intermission I was having a smoke and a guy saw the look on my face and asked me what could possibly be wrong. We talked for a bit and it was at that moment I realized I had made the biggest mistake of my life leaving my girlfriend. 2 days later I reached out to her.

You’d think 1) Buckethead invented the guitar 2) Guitar was made for Buckethead 3) Buckethead was made for the guitar.
He's good vary good ..but he's not Jeff Beck.
I think KFC should get a check for the advertising
You should listen to Paco de Lucía
4) Buckethead IS the guitar 🎸
He seems overrated to me. And the mask/bucket is a gimmick
amazing....my son listened to buckethead when he was in junior high nonstop for like an entire year....now he is going to Berklee School of Music in Boston, majoring in jazz guitar.....he credits Buckethead for his career and musical influence.....this guy has no idea how many kids he has influenced over the years.....
MrBtw999 im really glad for both of you, congratulations!
Yes he does
My son is 12 and ive just bought him his 1st electric guitar and introduced him to buckethead he has barly put the thing down in the last 2 days since i bought it. My work is done. Now its up to him to put the time and effort into it if thats the path he chooses.
Awesome! It was BH and Metallica that got me picking up the guitar in the first place too! Can't thank them enough!

He's a killer guitarist. #lovingit

Your lucky I just listened to him and I'm pissed that I didn't discover him sooner I'm 71

Wow didnt realize that tons of people missed out on BH. Just read his BIO and he is impressive.

Randomly popped up in my feed. Never heard of him and now I can't stop listening. He's amazing.
Same
Same!
Eu também! Kkkk
Even 7 months after posting that comment, you're still in for an adventure. Enjoy.
What do you expect Paul Gilbert taught him and said he was best guitar player ever seen
Seeing Buckethead live is definitely on my Bucket list!
Who the hell is Buckhead? I've heard Buckethead but not that guy 😂

He's been around for ever. I learned of him from primus back in the 90s.one of the best guitarists of our age (in my opinion)
Amazing..my son listened to buckethead his entire junior year of high school. Now he is the assistant fry chef at Kentucky fried chicken!
Bwahahaha
It reminds all of us to never stop dreaming.
haha that's sick
What a waste of time
Dreams do come to life.
still more albums than dislikes
thats fuckin funny lol
I would definitely require a long enough moment to still and meditate within his grip.
Who the hell could ever dislike Buckethead? I will fight you
Still more albums in a year than dislikes
More people personally touched his Red Button. LiVeN
Buckethead is a genius who turned himself into a legend.
A legend who's name rarely comes up in the conversation of greatest guitar players. He has more of a cult following it's seems. He should get mentioned more, for sure.
I’ve never heard of him before 5 minutes ago.
A legend indeed! I knew that he replaced Slash many years ago, but never really got into his work or post Slash GnR. I’m only now realizing how truly great he is!
Just another GREAT GUITAR GUITAR 🎸 GUY…. WA, WA, PEDAL, FUZZ TONE. POWER BOOSTER! Older stuff, but he’s really boring with me, Jimmy Hendrix he invented the love of LONG SOLOS….. MESCALINE IS GOOD…. PURPLE HAZE IS GOOD.

become addicted at 70 to a great guitarist. 😄😃🥳💙💢💥💫
Have you heard of a violinist called Ed Elaine Johnson?
Just thought I'd drop his name in case you havent. 🤘
I’m 66 and binge watch videos all day.BH turns me into a mouth breather as soon as he plays. I gotta learn to play now !
@@peterclarke7240 Ed Alleyne-Johnson is from Liverpool of course ..............................................

How he goes under the radar is absurd.This guy is phenomenal. Master guitar player.
He’s very well known among guitarists. Not as much to the general public, but his permanent legacy as a guitar legend is still firmly in place. :)
@Hunter Vonnegut bs. nowadays its marketablility. good songwriting... when did that last matter? the 90s?
sorry but almost all popular music since 2000 is trash.
the days where popular music was made because of making music are long gone.
its about sales, insta and other shit.
He wears a bucket on his head. Maybe why he's not on any radar.
An idea I don't know if we'll ever see or hear, but some kind of Collab between B H & Ed Wynn of Ozrik Tentacles
Balls up ..let's see you do it....
I was 12 when I discovered his music and at 32, I'm still in love. He's an amazing guitarist and an amazing person.
I discovered him in my 70’s. Thank god.
@@garylester8621 I love your comment but it didn't let me.
Why does he have a bucket on his head?
im now 33
I was 26
Now I'm 27 !!
Tonight a man with ghetto blaster type equipment with lights was walking past while I was waiting for someone. I heard this unbelievable relaxing music that made me dance like no one was watching. He came over I asked what music it was I’d never heard of bucket head until tonight. What amazing music . Thank you.
When mankind is ready and worthy, Buckethead will press the top button on his guitar... and we will live in harmony.
already has
Awesome
I am French but this song is not a question of language !
It means so much to me : it speaks about life, joy, anger, happiness, sadness, melancoly... Love, disappointement, sadness...
Thanks Mr Buckethead 😘
Parfaitement d'accord
Dommage que Buckethead ne vienne jamais en France 😭
This song also speaks about wearing a fast food bucket upon one’s head, which, really, is the most profound message of all.
He wrote this after his mother passed...Truly a classic!!! And evokes all emotions..
@@DanielNewman38 He actually wrote “Soothsayer” in 2006 but his mother passed in 2014. You are thinking of “Hold Me Forever” which he wrote for her after she passed. Both are absolute classics. Very powerful and emotional roller coasters for sure.
Rest in Peace Nancy York Carrol
Thank you for giving us such a talent of a man.
(My name is also Dan btw 🪣 🤖 🎸 ✌️)
After 50 years as a guitarist I found this geezer and I am blown away by his technique and soulfull style .
Once you meet Buckethead's music, you enter another dimension of music. Nothing to do with whatever you've been listening. There's no going back. You may still listen to your favourite and most notorious guitar players you've grown up with. But you know it's a different story....
Well said....I stumbled upon this genius about 8 years ago....mind blowing...
I've been into him since I've started playing guitar...one of my greatest musical inspirations..spaning genres!!
Theres almost no guitarist as effortless and flawless as Buckethead. I know some people scoff at him because of the attire but as a guitarist there are next to no guitarists in history as talented as he. So much respect for this guy.
Jeff loomis is far better IMO not to say BH isn’t a god
the only guitarist next to hendrix (in terms of skills and feeling and improving sounds and technics). just awesome!!!!!
@@taden8544 far better in terms of what? speed? listen to him..to me BH has far more feeling and heart in his playing than JL.. both are fucking fast (but beeing fast means often that it sounds cold and digital)
People that scoff at buckethead are just testimony that no matter how good your are that there is always some dick and set of nuts that is slighted.
I love his attire ... always...
Finishes song, adjusts bucket.
Sharp dressed man.
lol
JAJAJAA

Que privilégio conhecer pessoalmente o maior guitarrista de todos os tempos!
Un kapo hace lo ke ke kiere kon la viola
Very good don't understand stand his look though
@@bullithole9004 i think he's sponsored by Colonel Saunders.
@bullithole9004 he didn't like to be seen as popular, one of the reasons he left GNR because people would go just to watch him shred and beautifully play the melodies. Truly one of the most disciplined and humble people.
How can a song hit you so hard with no lyrics im almost in tears.. this is a master piece. 🙌🥲🥲🥲🥲
Something about how he dances around B natural minor. Not usually a sad scale.
All about the melody. That’s what makes a great instrumental.
Song brings me to tears too. You’re not alone. My dad taught me how to play this song as a kid. I miss him, and wish he was still here with me.
I found very wholesome when he shaked the guy's hand towards the end. Such a nice guy.
One of his favorite things to do with his friend and frequent drummer Brain is drive around all over looking for a soda fountain that serves the "perfect diet coke".
Wholesome is definitely the right word for him.
That is SOOO important to me!
Seriously…
@@spiderpickle3255 that is really cool!
Specially in his line of work.
Diet Coke is not normally good the Coke they are looking for!

Daniel Oliveira Ramirez fuc yeah
I'm going to be honest, I'm in a similar boat with you on this one, although I've been a fan for a while now. But the first time I ever saw him, I HATED him, only because it was when he played with (fake) GnR at the MTV VMA's (whatever year that was), and I was like, this dudes a f'n weirdo, AND trying to jack Slash of his shoes. Little did I realize, years later, that he fits in them just fine, if not a bit better (as painful as that is to say).
You can really feel his love of music by how much he smiles while playing. Just wonderful.
That made me chuckle
There is something so Sad but beautiful about the song, puts my mind in a calm state every time i listen to it, awsome player, buckethead
Must be nice to get paid to do what you love most. I still haven't got the QC job at the brewery 🤣🤣🤣
LoL !
How can you tell? He's wearing a mask...
This song is streaking across the galaxy as we speak. They’ll hear it eventually
Aye
Genius guitar player. Long fingers, it’s almost like he was designed to play on another level. He makes a guitar do things it was not even designed to do.
Have in mind that his Les Paul is custom made, larger by like 15-20%. A normal guitar looks like a toy in his hands.
@@zeljkokaravida3934 27” scale.
@@zeljkokaravida3934 how tall is bucket head?
Where was the genius part?? I didn't see nothing special n his playing..
He’s certainly a masterful player but there are many guitarists in different genres as facile, who also make beautiful music (many with short fingers).
That said, there is some serious mental disturbance manifest here: to hide behind a ridiculous Michael Myer’s Halloween mask and wear a KFC chicken bucket on your head for your entire career.
Stay healthy, Sir Buckethead!
Sure does he's a clean person tho.
He is living healthy life but he has heart condition and I am scared for him.
The way he switches styles effortlessly...shred, to melodic, to heavy rhythm, to shred, back to melodic, to bluesy...damn. And he wrings a level of emotion out of that guitar that rivals my all-time favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan. Very different styles but both of them could tell a story and make you FEEL with just a guitar.
PUH-leazzze. Stevie Ray Vaughan never, ever played with a bucket on his head. SRV was overrated, compared to King Buckethead!
@@SeptemberChild1835 >> Thankfully, SRV needed no bucket…he had a personality instead.
@@jaybee9269 I was actually being facetious. ‘‘Twas a joke.
I met him 2 yrs ago without this mask on just the sweetest guy ever got his autograph the guy has gone that a lot medical issues wish he plays on for many decades to come!
Lucky!
how? what is the story behind that meet?
@@colerogers9683 I wanna know that too
It was a look a like Buckethead doesn't even talk ...
His name is Brian Carroll and plays with Primus!
The expression on his face says it all.
It says humility.
classic dude!!!!!
does he have a mask on?
@@raven314 Yes he does! 🎭🎨🥁🎸
😂😂😂
I love how he let the audience join in! Such a genuine dude
Co e He looks like a nice guy. But I am not sure about it
Only a select few truly know whats under the Bucket my friend, I am not one of them though.
Look up some buckethead interviews , he talks for a bit and you would find he is one of the nicest guys to speak. The mask could be a large part of why he is so shy though.
I'm just scrolling through the feed and this popped up.Never heard of "Buckethead". Thought it would be a joke but I don't think I have ever heard anything that could really even come close to the Amazing sounds this guy can squeeze out!🎉
In 2001 at Rock in Rio, he was in Guns' n Roses, and my father had passed away a few days, something 25 days, was Ona huge depression was when I saw him playing in the band, and I just stared at him . He took me to a level above my depression. Three months later I lost my sister to cancer, and again he helped me with his songs ... to me, he's the best, as well as being an excellent multiintrumentista, he is charismatic. Always follow.
Poxa, meus sentimentos
My sincere condolences, brother…. I am sure music travels you close(r) to your beloved ones. May they RIP
His alternate picking technique is out of this world. Thumbs up!!
I can’t TELL YOU how many miles I’ve drove with this on repeat!!! It’s like a trance. Like fucking WOW!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Been listening to Buckethead for about 10 years now! Dude rips!!! 🤘
I grew up listening to Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Page etc, and this cat ranks up with the best ever. Blew me away!!
You oughtta Check out John Petrucci of Dream Theater.
Jeff beck is one of the best ever!!
I love Robyn Trower as well

Masterful guitarist. At 70 I have just heard him for first time. Love his effects work. What can I say hes a total enigma of guitar.
It's an extraterrestrial. 😊👌 The best guitarist of the decade (and even more).🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😉
70 here too. First time and to me he is transporting me back to the 70’s…Santana, Allman’s, ZZ top, Creme, and all the rest! Jimi Hendrix
Yep, Buckethead is hands-down one of the best guitarists of his generation. He’s been doing his thing for quite a while and he is very well known among guitar players. Dude is guitar legend status.
Bucket really went the extra mile to let the audience really get involved. ANOTHER reason to be a bucket fan
Thanks for the super clear upload as well
He let EVERYONE have a turn, very cool
In the 90‘s I went to Madrid to my first vacation outside my home country without my parents. My hostel room had a tiny TV and one of the channels would feature bands at night. That‘s when I first heard bucket head (it was him, a DJ and a drummer) and I was blown away and watched in awe for hours. It took me years to actually find out who he is. That is such an intense and lasting memory, I barely can remember anything else from that trip.
I am no musician, but I have to say that Buckethead is perhaps THE greatest guitar player of all time. Thank you Mr. B. for your lovely and moving music...
You must be drunk and deff shows your no musician.. maybe tryn to actually list to music be commenting you sound silly as fuk think he best I. World. 😆
Listen to more music!
at least check out Steve Vai
@@ezrahn steve vai is shit
Alan Holdsworth is like "wut"?
He speaks the language of electric guitar. He shows his emotions in this way.
I've never heard of this phenom! I've been living under a bucket :|
I've watched countless hours of buckethead. How am I just seeing this now?!
I was at this show, and it was a particularly inspired performance... Friday the 13th... Buckethead's birthday!! Yes! It was a good one...
\m/\m/
you can tell BH is a student of PG at 6:00 with those repeating alt picking runs
I've always loved that part of soothsayer. It just sounds so intense and nasty yet beautiful.
J. Evan Wade Oh yeah...05/13/2016 was a Friday the 13th. I completely forgot about it...
i will never get tired of this song, what a masterpiece
I was there also! Front and center. My 6th time seeing him. On Friday the 13th ,his BD, I shook his hand, hit the killswitch and got a batman mask from him! I love you Bucket! Thanks again Jack for these treasures.
Can we just talk about how Buckethead is a powerhouse when it comes to making new albums?! That guys work ethic is out of this world!
I was at the show and it was fantastic. Was his birthday too. When he played Soothsayer I lost it!
I just sincerely hope that Brian has people in his life that Bless and inspire him as much as he does for all of us with his music and time he spends with his audience.
This is what you call a very down to earth arist. Definetly one of the greatest guitar players and most well respected people out there especially for the fact he interacts with his fans and audience. Guy is a living legend, gotta love Buckethead
Math and music are the language of the universe.
His tone and playing is insane. So technical.
To have that level of tech with pure feel is Hendrix-like.
His articulation is excellent. I was in the recording industry for 15 years. When music took a turn for the worst, i ran fast. Been out of it for 20+ years now. First time hearing this guy.....so far so good
When I see what some of these rap guys have archive I want to puke....
Music is music, it does not get worse or better, just different. 12 notes, just rearranged over and over. I would respectfully suggest that the music industry took a turn for the worse not too long ago.
I was turned on to this guy only a few days ago after a young guy begged me to watch him. At first, as an old school guy, I said I don't want to watch a dude with a chicken bucket on his head. After all, I come from the generation of Randy Rhodes, Slash and others. But, he convinced me to listen and I've been kicking myself ever since for not listening sooner. This guy is the BEST electric guitar player I've ever heard or heard...period. And I think I've heard them all, all the way back to the seventies. Page, Rhodes, Slash, Beck, Dokken...etc. I've never seen someone so precise on the hard stuff. For those that don't play, using the index finger is the easiest. The pinky is the hardest. He seems to use them all without bias. It's absolutely incredible to me that his pinky is as profound as his index finger in playing. Not only that, it is as precise...no mistakes in tone or mutation. Almost inhuman. Perhaps that is why he wears the mask. He plays like a robot when it comes to precision, but he also puts the very human art of variance and nuance that robots can't do. Simply incredible.
Tom Ford: True fact, he is not human.. he has additional fingers that we can't see ...
He is from Thunder'Galactica..
That is called as the "(Paul) Gilbert Pinkie Syndrome" or GPS shortly...
th-cam.com/video/oaIzEo013iI/w-d-xo.html this is him impersonating different players without actually playing anything they wrote hahahaha. th-cam.com/video/aA8fzsE7tWU/w-d-xo.html this is off his album erotic cakes.
Mutant robot raised by chickens. I think his Father is Tony Iomi.
I ONLY RECENTLY discovered Buckethead (LAST WEEK) and I honestly feel like IF he had lived, Jimi would have LOVED to play with Buckethead. I too am an "old school" guy who has followed the greats, Page, Gilmour, Jimi (of course) Duane Allman, Trower, Iommi, Rhodes, Santana, AND in my DECADES of searching out the next "VOODOO CHILD" have never found a more worthy individual more deserving of the title, "ALL HAIL VOODOO CHILD BUCKETHEAD"!!!!! " I SAID TURN THAT DAMN GUITAR DOWN"!!!!!!!
So cool that he let fans participate. Made a memory that will last forever.
One of the greatest guitar players alive today.
Just came across buckethead yesterday. Man, I’ve been missing out! So clean, innovative, and enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Buckethead is one of the most virtuoso of guitarists in the genre of rock guitar. HE is one of the top 25 guitarists I've listened to and enjoyed most.
Danny Gatton!! 🎸
Absolutely Incredible! The anonymity leaves only one thing to see, those incredible fingers making that guitar sing. Absolute Respect for this guy.
i first listened to Buckethead in guitar hero 2 and I'm at 7 years old that time, I loved his song since then and now I'm already 18.
same
Try listening to real music.
Each live version is different but perfect
How can some people still say that buckethead is a shred-a-holic with no soul and no feeling in his play ? Listen to that and make amend. Music for my head, my heart and my... something else. Makes me shiver often, makes me breathe fast... true artistry, which means that the effects on yourself cannot fully be described. Beyond words.
Benoit Mangin they haven't heard all of his albums
This guy plays so very clean. Deep appreciation for his amazing skill and intensity. Reminds me of Alex Lifeson.
yes very technical, love it im hooked
Alex Lifeson. Ok
I've been listening to this song for nearly 6 years and never commented. Buckethead Soothsayer really hits a special note for me. I found this song when I was going through it. Every opioid compound you could get access to. Working through sobriety I listened to this shit daily. Find a medium and pass through it. The way out..... Is through. Find it.
To this day I listen to a light in the fog, the pathless road, aunt Suzie, padmasana everyday for my workouts. I puts me in a good frame of mind. His music feeds my soul.
Love his letting the audience participate at 12:00 few others would let that happen. Then he shakes hands! Thanks Bucket!
I’m so impressed by this man who can command a stage by himself, create such beautiful melody and shred in the most musical way that I’ve ever heard.
I watch/listen to this video every few months since it was first posted. Of all the hundreds of live Buckethead videos I've watched, this is my favorite!
One of the best guitarists in the world, when my son made me watch buckethead I laughed and said ok,, years later I've watched it all,,still in awe
I've never seen this gentleman play before but I must say he knows his way around a guitar.
Paul Gilbert did a good job teaching him but buckethead took it to a whole new level
Gilbert approved that he ONLY gave him 2 lessons , the guy was READY before Gilbert taught him he was already educated by his own
pebber brown was his main teacher growing up hes on youtube.
Gilbert is the fucking boss man!!!
Gilbert publicily said don't give me credit for Buckethead's talent. I was 18, he was 15. And sessions were very few.
Hes not that great of guitarist. Guys that can play smoking circles around him are a dime a dozen, these days. What he is, is a musician. He is expressive, which is something those dime a dozen technicians don't have.
Saw him play at All good in 2009. When we got to the stage, there was a crowd of thousands my son said follow me and we got really close! What an amazing show! Saw him in Charlottesville and he was awesome about 6 years ago. Best guitar player I have ever seen or heard and I am 66
This was freakin awesome! Amazing how he lets the audience get involved. How many kids play guitar now because of him. He’s phenomenal.
He's just absolutely incredible. I only recently started playing guitar at 24 years old this man is a huge motivation.
It's never too late. Keep it up.
Keep practicing dude!
He is one with his instrument!!!!
Seriously intoxicating.
Awesome!!!!
I was very happy watching this video. Buckethead is an incredible guitarist. I remembered Rory Gallagher's presentations, who also liked interacting with the public.
I never get tired of this
A player so good...it sends chills down your Spine.....whoa !
Excellent camera work!!! Amazing clear sound!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Totally!!
I had a friend in middle school you loved buckethead. Being a metalhead myself, I really don't know why I never checked him out before. Here I am, almost 27 years old, finally checking him out. I'm blown away. I don't know what kept me away.
this is one of the guitarists that make me want to know how to play an electric guitar
I'm inspired by your being inspired, because I'm on the verge of giving up at life since I'll never be as good at anything as he is on guitar, lol
+Mitchell S. Glad I could help you with inspiration, I hope you do great things and maybe in the future you could play guitar like buckethead, anything is possible if you put your mind to it
I hope greatness for you as well, cheers!
do it. you won't regret it.
+Tony Tran already starting a band just you wait we'll have some music out in a few years
The creativity and substance of his playing are incredible!!! Its total brain massage ear candy.
i'm mad at the world that guys like this aren't on the radio and guys like little pump are
Can't tell you how much I agree. Hip-hop /rap are fucking cancer.
@@joeshmoe1378 not all rap just the mainstream shit guys like nf , hopsin, and joyner lucas are really talented vocalists
@@AMRsti93 I mean...I guess?
I'm mad that your mad because not everybody likes what you like this sounds like somebody just running through scales half the time very boring if you ask me so
@@espdv8ruser952 Then you're half fucking deaf.
He’s AMAZING! ❤️
I never get sick of watching him. Hits me right in my heart every time. Im a bass player....watch peeps like wooten and les claypool....but the one guitarist i keep commin back to watch is Bucket
SLFTragic i love how bucket is more than a guitarist too, he slaps bass with claypool! Honestly a master of all strings lol
Eargasm! Great footage and equally impressive to see & hear The Bucket return to ferocious, maniacal, mechanical, chicken coop, sustained slunk form!!!
Thank you for letting the fans have a part in your art
Crazy sick guitarist! Dude
Is just a phenom…now a fan 4 life-,^/
His perfect technique is mesmerizing . fuckin guy can play like a wizard and write catchy riffs and solo in a variety of styles showing absolutely zero effort. do I tire sometimes of the over indulging in pure speed shredding? yah , but I am a guy who gets more out of a catchy riff then the extended solos of pure shredders. either way, this guy is at the top of the game when it gets to electric guitar.
Jeff Wizniak. YEP right on no doubt about that one..
Yep,, some of his stuff i cant listen to,, and then there is some that is other worldly!!! He's a freakin guitar savant.
I couldn't agree more - the man is a phenomenon. He's a super human. He's a genius on the level of great mathematicians and physicists - just in a different realm.
A superb talent. Born to play guitar.
Sends shivers through the entire grid. :)
Holy cow he shakes the guys hand at 12:40 or so!
Well done Sir!
Mr. Lightening Fingers really storming the explosive bolts while celebrating his birthday! May you have many, many more! Not too many guitarists can stand on the same stage as this guitar hero!!!😊
Awesome video and I like the description..well said. Buckethead is and has pretty much always been in his own league. I dont think anyone else will ever be able to release 250 albums and master the guitar the way he has. Not to mention the fact that hes still never shown his face in public. The mans a true virtuoso.
Tgunzz the only guitarist that I'd say is on one level with him is Paul Gilbert
Well quantity has a quality of its own
helloIamcuteashell: Well I say hes fast and fun to listen to but Ultich Roth is the greatest!
Satriani may not have the quantity of songs Bucket has but Satch is definitely a guitar wizard in his own right.
You guys guys are forgetting the great Shawn lane. He was an inspiration for buckethead
Oh man, this guy never ceases to amaze me.....the man with the bucket!!!
2:29. Absolute proof that the song is never finished. Such a new creation and adaptation of this wonderful song is beyond all parameters
FINALLY A CLEAR AND CLEAN SOOTHSAYER VIDEO 🙌❤🙌 I love how he starts slapping his guitar towards the end like Les Claypool does w his bass definitely a funky groove added to this!!
