@Jeff Watson It's really rude to compare an old and failing guitarist to a robot. Especially when the robot is famous for inventing playing styles and the failing human hasn't done anything new in, as you say, 40 yrs...My bad! Nothing new in much longer.
Yes he would! Even Hendrix, especially! Similar styles. Total control, and taking it "out there", like Jimi, super creative perfectionists! Jimi was more bluesy, as he grew up around it, when younger with The Isley Brothers(?), etc. But Buckethead gets it! Very classy, clean, like Jerry Garcia, but putting his personal stamp on it with great effects, toggle "red" button used great, between 4:30-5 minute mark. Very classy, bluesy, and still Buckethead! The greats would/do love him!
@@hectorgonzalez9170 Yes! Check out young, 9 year old blues, best I've heard, and unreal guitar player Taj Farrant! "Tennessee Whiskey"! Great heart, but very Incredible soul/blues, can see him becoming legendary, nowadays. Only has played 2 years now. A must see ! Wish I had Search for Taj Farrant in Google, search. Pure genius, King of heart and soul!
@@timturk1899 dont ever compare jerry garcia to buckethead or any descent guitar player. Garcia is a joke hed forget half his shitty songs and play the wrong thing all the time thats what hes known for
Yeah...I don't think he want's it. He was in Guns 'n' frickin' Roses! I don't listen to pop, so I never heard it, but that's pretty big. Slick, Skunk, whatever, he's worth 90 million dollars. BH is worth maybe 8. Not even one tenth.
Not much bucket head can't play any style type of music this guy is a freak of nature the goat he doesn't get the recognition he deserves and one of nicest guy in music especially for someone with that kinda talent
Slash was probably not happy this guy took his spot for a bit and looked like him unintended he has wore the mask and big hair forever Buckethead is on another level like Peter Green was
I was just reintroduced to his music by my son who has been a fan forever. I sort of fell out of liking him when his music become a little too electronic for me. This blows my mind. This man puts so much damned emotion into his music. One of his songs can reduce me to tears in a matter of moments. I love this man! I think he is one of the best players in the world!
I thought bucketheads early stuff was electronic. Maybe I’m wrong ‘Bermuda Triangle’ was after I got into his his music. Before that ‘cobra strike’ sounds like arcade video games astroid, centipede, I forget what song (it’s not metal riff) But happy arcade music turns nightmare (even though it never changes dark, stays happy entire song) The nightmare comes from insane tapping sounds like centipede’s crawling down from ceiling, walls infested everywhere non stop. When it hit me (in the way buckethead intended it to sound) It was sick genius. Its on cobrastrike 2?? Although it has some electronic arcade stuff (the beats) buckethead plays what people call ‘mindless shred’. This is probably from (free style jazz improvisation= noise) bucketheads influence with Derick Bailey’guitarist. Incredible noise. Sounds like kid who crayons the entire house. It doesn’t make sense, they call it freestyle jazz improvisation. Both Pat metheny and buckethead names are mentioned on derick baily page I seen somewhere. Pat metheny is longtime fan of buckethead (google it its easy find) There was video of Pat metheny speaking in front huge collage campus. Very smart clear intellectual. Pat told his audience said,” I hear music when someone kicks over a row of garbage cans down a flight of stairs’. the first time He heard miles Davis music felt like he’d been hit with baseball bat.
wow,can you imagine,your having a wedding party,and someone asks who they get for entertainment,oh some guy called Buckethead,they would be picking up pieces of the roof for days...just awesome!!!
Buckethead opens up a show at a wedding party with "The Thrill is Gone"... does anyone else see the comical irony in this? Also, I think if any kind of irony was intended, as in the thrill of the honeymoon phase wearing off, then the message might be like you can still rock out even after the thrill is gone: this song and performance are testament to that through their shear superb badassness.
***** dumb ass. He was in guns n roses n quit. He doesn't like the lime light hence his image and privateness. He actually is one of the most gifted guitarists to ever live.
Man I bet that sounded amazing in person! It's great to hear Bucket playing an old blues classic, too. One of my favorite tracks of all time, actually, given all the great renditions out there. Too bad it was just a little hot here. Thanks for sharing.
Playing as a shredder and with soulful feelings, I’m starting to understand the phenomenal that is bucket head , i thought he was like his mentor paul Gilbert just another shredder with empty notes, fooled me, he is a legend
That's how you feel about PG?? 🤔 Damn dude I know he ain't the most soulful dude out there but lifeless and dead sterile technique only?? Naw, bruh there are a trillion better examples one can cite to fit that designation before ever even considering PG for inclusion on the list..
I've watched this so many times because it never grows old. Even though the initial sound is iffy from reverb, it's still a great cover, and worthy of adoration. Like it better than the original. Bucket knows the blues, no doubt.
Songs are up influenced by a mood there as fragile and ferice as a flame if there not captured in the Moment there going forever it's one of life's tragedies we are blessed to have this gift of the soul beautiful and stunning 🤘
Buckethead is the only guitarist I know who has mastered all genres....from blues to thrash to acoustic to avante garde to heavy metal to techno to jazz to even rap.
Seems like "The Thrill Is Gone" is a funny choice for a wedding, but ANYTIME is Buckethead time. he is all knowing, all seeing, and all playing due to the special powers he acquired being "coop raised"
Had the thrill is gone as the first song at my wedding. Absolutely no one got it, just went straight over everyone's heads. Was still awesome though...

The blues is about feeling, not notes per second. The gentleman with the KFC hat knows this very well. He "gets it" about every genre he plays in.
Although Blues can be pretty boring after 2 songs.
@@chickentwisties2298 So true. Between slow blues and 12 bar blues that rut is very deep and very narrow. I'm pretty sick and tired of it, really.
I think he's a savant. Truly.
@@winstonsmith8240 not a savant. his ability is bestowed supernaturally. a gift from the Datk Master.
That's cause Buckethead is the shiznit!!!
Wish the audio was better. 🤟
is this a frickin wedding?!? The thirll is gone? This guy works on another level.
Dude, he gets it
Gotta love him. He's mental - and so right on point.
Rotfl. He definitely works on another level
Just incase they think love will last 😉
@@ioflowboy lolol
For the love of God, Buckethead, please put this on a CD with great sound. I'll buy 10 copies in case I lose the first 9.
i always hate it when people compare players, so I won't compare. Buckethead is the best!
That's comparing
it is
@Jeff Watson Only non guitar players will compare one to another. There are no comparisons only artistry & favorites.
@Jeff Watson It's really rude to compare an old and failing guitarist to a robot. Especially when the robot is famous for inventing playing styles and the failing human hasn't done anything new in, as you say, 40 yrs...My bad! Nothing new in much longer.
@@nicot9305 You do realise the the "failing human" has been dead for a number of years right? Maybe show him the same respect Buckethead has.
People that think BH is all technique and no soul should listen to this. BB King would be proud.
Buckethead is all technique. But he plays with more soul than most blues masters.
Yes he would! Even Hendrix, especially! Similar styles. Total control, and taking it "out there", like Jimi, super creative perfectionists!

Way better examples of his feeling it out there
How great he has the "soul" to play this song and the "heart" to play at someones wedding! Buckethead rules!
Donald Dadey This comment rules TH-cam! Well said!
I was 19 in 1969. Thanks for bringing it back and pushing it forwards. Now a Buckethead fan. Should be more well-known.
Yeah...I don't think he want's it. He was in Guns 'n' frickin' Roses! I don't listen to pop, so I never heard it, but that's pretty big. Slick, Skunk, whatever, he's worth 90 million dollars. BH is worth maybe 8. Not even one tenth.

I'd love for him to do more blues stuff. I love Bucketheads music but I also love the blues.
Have you checked out his song- Chicken Boy ?
I had never heard of that song until you mentioned it, immediately I listened to it and I absolutely love it.
:)
he has like a pike or two which are complete blues , check buckethead-in the hollow hills
Which Pike albums are the blues ones?
Simply the finest control of a fret board I've ever seen.... including Gary Moore etc
It's good stuff. slash said he doesn't think bucketheads playing has a lot of feeling surprised he would say that
He obviously doesn't listen to the body of his work.
Slash was probably not happy this guy took his spot for a bit and looked like him unintended he has wore the mask and big hair forever Buckethead is on another level like Peter Green was
u forced
@Jeff Watson You don't have to be jealous of Buckethead just because you never amounted to anything.
What a creative way to play this song...
Bucket is a legend!!!

@@dannyhood4007 awesome reply with info. Thanks so much!
This video always makes me smile. Epic. Watching BH play soulful blues only enhances the enigma and irony. Awesomeness.
wow,can you imagine,your having a wedding party,and someone asks who they get for entertainment,oh some guy called Buckethead,they would be picking up pieces of the roof for days...just awesome!!!
I love Bucket Head he's just so diverse and can go anywhere !
Most amazing player I’ve ever seen. Period.

+ontariobuds wooow thanks man
ontariobuds yeah for real, thank you!
No irony, just some cold facts
No, the thrill is Buckethead.
Chris Weidner lol
Thank you Lord for giving us Buckethead 🤍
Why isn't he on a stage infront of thousands... crazy to see him play such small gigs all of the time...
***** My fucking ass he isnt.. why are you here then? get lost kid.
I believe it to have been a friends wedding.
***** dumb ass. He was in guns n roses n quit. He doesn't like the lime light hence his image and privateness. He actually is one of the most gifted guitarists to ever live.
+BLAFPro ???????????????
it was at a private wedding
Hey Buckethead! Please, Please, Please release this with good sound quality. Its just awesome.
BH playing at the wedding? The only reason to get married so far...
Hermanos1993 ha ha nailed it 🇦🇺
Lol nice.
Man I bet that sounded amazing in person! It's great to hear Bucket playing an old blues classic, too. One of my favorite tracks of all time, actually, given all the great renditions out there. Too bad it was just a little hot here. Thanks for sharing.
He is making that guitar cry! Love him!
I want Buckethead to send me off at my funeral.
mrs. beasely is gonna be my send off m8
One of those literal LOLs
This has to be his sexiest yet! And i thot 'Ghost of broken eggs' was the baby~maker! Why cant this have a better sound? Drives me insane! 👏😘💞🎸
Such a beautiful wedding reception 🥰
"Sorry love I'm marrying Buckethead instead"
flawless phrasing
Funny that his phrasing is better on the blues than his own songs. Having a 12 bar pattern makes it simpler
His range is amazing!
There's no limit with bucket head ,what a brilliant mind !
Jim Hooligan sent me here and he is right the "feeling" is here.
hot damn he plays the blues amazingly
It was recorded in 2004... we are lucky it's on tape :)
JESUS CHRIST ....NEVER TAKE YOUR SON FROM US
Forever Bucket
If I had 3 wishes, I would absolutely spunk one of them on wishing that this performance was filmed in good quality. Heartbreaking.
@Jeff Watson great chat

Weird take as PG has been making blues albums for the later part of his career.
I've watched this so many times because it never grows old. Even though the initial sound is iffy from reverb, it's still a great cover, and worthy of adoration. Like it better than the original. Bucket knows the blues, no doubt.
Someone this genius should have a great band playing with him.
He's played with Primus a few times.
Bands take away from buckethead all we need is that guitar singing
Shit if I knew Buckethead did weddings I would have had him play at mine!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Hell, If i knew Buckethead does weddings, would get married for the 4th time :)
Wish I had been there , B.C. 🤗💕🎸🎶
Joi Haynes same here
Great version, with all of the emotion BB intended. Bucketized of course!
Songs are up influenced by a mood there as fragile and ferice as a flame if there not captured in the Moment there going forever it's one of life's tragedies we are blessed to have this gift of the soul beautiful and stunning 🤘
Pure love. And talent
Nuptials or not I'm wedded to his blissful super groove...Long Live BH !!
the bucket makes that guitar cry for the blues.
...Many , THANKS. ROBERT. BOBZGT.
The intro song is Warweb, from Giant Robot album.
4:38 was great, Big B signature in there like its nothin
For sure one of my favourite guitar players
Mind blowing music - thanks for given us your music
The Always Amazing the Mighty Buckethead 😎🎸
Buckethead is the only guitarist I know who has mastered all genres....from blues to thrash to acoustic to avante garde to heavy metal to techno to jazz to even rap.
Bucket HEAD is a control freak , doing it his way , small gigs ,
Buckethead playin the blues click i had to check it out..... very nice
'B.B.' would be sooooooooooooooooo impressed with this :-) !!!!!
Lucky to have him in the family!
WHAT A WONDERFUL WEDDING !
This Guy can play any style.
Seems like "The Thrill Is Gone" is a funny choice for a wedding, but ANYTIME is Buckethead time. he is all knowing, all seeing, and all playing due to the special powers he acquired being "coop raised"
Word
This just makes buckethead so much cooler!
The best there is. Hands down.
that intro hes got playing in the beggining while he is tuning up is wicked
this guy can do it all
maggot brain on the start!
Had the thrill is gone as the first song at my wedding. Absolutely no one got it, just went straight over everyone's heads. Was still awesome though...
Why is the greatest guitar player of all time playing a house party?
hogula I believe this is a wedding party for a friend of his
Such feeling
Imagine seeing Buckethead playing at your wedding. Smdh. That's insane.
Wow, that's awesome!
You
put the fun in funeral!
BEST WEDDING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! So jealous
Besides, I'm sure that if Buckethead didn't have a ton of respect for BB, he wouldn't do such a great job covering one of his most famous songs.
@Jeff Watson FUCK OFF ASSHOLE
Bucket heads playing makes my hair stand on end all over my body.
i was hoping i would hear from you again. you rock kiddo- and thank YOU!
Daaammmmnn!!! So amazingly quiter Buckethead
Just so f'ng good!!!
I love this so much.. At a wedding 💒. Please put this into your current setlist, Big B 💚☺️🙌💚💯
there needs to be a better quality version of this produced with Brain and reeleased! this is amazing
BB King is so like BH in this epic video❤❤
thanks for the upload ❤very heart touching indeed ✌🙏
Mr BH knows exactly how to enter people's hearts ❤☺🙏
Am I missing something here? The Thrill Is Gone - at a wedding reception? Anyway, best version of this song I've ever heard.
Buckethead does a little bit of trolling
Hello Mrs. Bride. Our meeting was both crazy and random. Thank you for your help. And thanks for the cool wedding story. I believe you now. :D
Its kinda like he came down someone's stairs out of the attic and just started playing in their kitchen! Wish he would do that at mine!
Very nice !!!! 👍🤘👍🤘👍🤘👍
SUPER !!!
buckethead on a BB King cover !!.. PROPS.!!!!!!!!!!!
🤯!!!🤘🏻for sharing!
Master guitarist.
awesooooooooooooooooooooooome!
Buckethead is the best guitar player ever. Boone in their right mind would take the stage after him!
this is how a play guitar in my dreams. lol, unreal.
Who's that guitar playin' son-of-a-bitch???
I would have given my life savings to be here.
BB would be proud
G.O.A.T
I WOULD BUY IT!
Ah yes. A lotta fine babies were made to tunes Just like this.
amazing
Till my back ain't got no bone yeah get it
Un believably insane. control maximus. does this guy give lessons??
If only...
No but a few of his teachers do ie: Paul Gilbert & Pebber Brown and every lesson they've given Buckethead is on TH-cam for free
Of those two, people usually pick Paul because Pebber is a drill sergeant
..oh Yeah?.." Yes!"!!!!!
Fucking beautiful💯
Why doesn’t anyone talk about MEL !!!! He plays music in a style ! Please open your mind to the possibilities of Mel .
