To me this is the ultimate Buckethead song. It has just about everything he has to offer packed into this one piece. Calm and emotional like in the intro. He's a riff master with super heavy ones and lighter catchy ones. Those leads like in the chorus section that has that note progression signature to Buckethead. Amazing guitar solos, mind melting shredding and also with his invented nubbing technique that sounds like some sort of computer machine. And in the end it comes full circle. Get to know the sound of Buckethead in 10 minutes this is the song.
pure talent. a true diamond in the rough, a composer, a savant? , a modern day Beethoven? a machine, a alien, just a man that's doing what he was put on this planet to do
+britch bopa no no he is not, deetoven had every song he had and 10x more for the 300 instruments he mastered to Bucketheads level, and he had all of the songs for each of them and an opera in his head and he was deaf, Mozart is number one and Beethoven is second bucket head no where near
there are lots of great Virtuoso's out there like Satriani, Vai, Hendrix, Paul Gilbert etc..but IMO nobody can write a song as good as Buckethead...NOBODY!!!
i think its a more a matter of how they write. no two guitarists are the same, i mean paul gilbert taught buckethead and yet their playing styles are completely different. same goes with satch and vai. yngwie malmsteen is probably one of the only guitarists on earth who can shred at the same speed as buckethead, and he plays a lot of neoclassical whereas buckethead can play a huge variety of genres and even picking styles. its all in the eye of the beholder but i agree that buckethead is one of the best out there
The thing with buckethead is that he is so freaking original and Unique. You can find that listening to Tim Henson from polyphia writing style, but yet it si a different playing and writing style, worth checking out too!
Buckethead is doing what Hendrix told Peter tork he wanted to do. Hendrix was tired, his eyes drifted, head down said, Paint pictures of earth and space, with music. Peter torks last conversation with Jimi
I got to see him last night! It was the best concert Ive ever been to, he let me touch his killswitch and even gave me a toy! Buckethead forever hes the best guitarist since Hendrix, probably ever! ^_^
Buckethead is SO INCREDIBLE... He was who inspired me to really get into playing guitar. This song (and pretty much everything else he's put out) is simply unbelievable.
Lurker At The Threshold Part 1 - 0:00 Lurker At The Threshold Part 2 - 3:51 Lurker At The Threshold Part 3 - 5:56 Lurker At The Threshold Part 4 - 8:08
There's more than enough people that already realize his greatness. Believe it or not he's got millions of fans....being in GnR wasn't a total waste for him....it gave him the global exposure he needed!
in awe of this dude wow amazing. the further I dig into his music the deeper I look into myself. sounds crazy and its hard to explain, but i seem to think about things that have happened or are happening in my life now, when I listen to this wonderful music.
Very constructive song! It's good to hear some Buckethead songs with good drums, and effects! Didn't know this song! I love it, as all the others! BUCKETHEAD RULES!
"He is not to cause the water to cease flowing about the island of the tower, nor to molest the tower in any way, nor to entreat of the stones... He is not to open the door which leads to strange time and place, nor to invite Him Who lurks at the threshold, nor to call out to the hills." The Lurker at the threshold
There are many artists that I love, respect and admire because of how talented they are. Buckethead is probably the only one to consistently make me crack up at how absurdly good he is. The breakdown that starts building up at 4:12 is just beyond human
It's fucking Buckethead. It's amazing. It's perfect. This dude is incredible and the best! And this is one of his beastly masterpieces! Maybe my favorite. I'm
I keep listening to more and more Buckethead songs. And there's about a half dozen that I keep finding to be the best music I've ever heard. And then I'll keep listening to those songs because they're so good. And now I have to add this one as well. I can't keep up with it! Thanks a lot, Buckethead. Ya big jerk!
This is quite possibly my favorite BH song. It's so well structured and is so epic. I want to put my guitar down after hearing this guy. It disheartens me. He's so good.
Spent 40 years in the business. Made decent money. Thought I was pretty good until I heard this true gift of a guitar player. Cannot comprehend how some of the sounds are made. A true sensitive person and a musical genius.
my mom listens to buckethead and shes 43.....she loves him even tho she is scared of his image lol i started her off with all his slow songs mainly from electric tears and colma she said it helps her mellow out whens she stressed at work! bucket can affect all sorts of ppl no matter what the age. just gotta give em a chance
There is this guy in my school that often bullies me, i went to high school with him, and im trying to get new friends but he just tells everyone that im a looser... listening to this song really makes things better :)
Its the fault of a lot of music companies why songs as awesome as this arent deserving the respect it should have... Just because they think a singer or a song isnt going to get anywhere means it wont... BUKETHEAD IS AWESOME
This song is so incredible, it's worth it just to sit there an think of some sort of epic story to go along with this music. This is just one of a few of Buckethead's songs that have influenced me as much as they have. I think Buckethead deserves far, far more credit than he is given. I own several of his albums now, and I still want to get more. Lurker at the Threshold is a phenominal way to the inspired. Friends I've showed this to have all just been left speechless. Need I say more?
Buckethead rulz he is amazing as in heavy metal as well as on his soft side every new song i hear from him impresses me . He has the greatest of all solo's as the best music to make you tear, but only real people who appreciate true music appreciate buckethead.
If Joseph Merrick was alive today, i think he would be proud of buckethead attention to him Dont forget this man... fight againts the difference Thanks you buckethead, you're the man
This is a great song to show to people who want to know about Bucket. It's got everything he's about pretty much, emotional stuff to start out with, then hardcore drop-tuned metal riffs, then melodic genius riffs, then guitar virtuoso shredding, it's even got some crazy finger nubbing in there for good measure.
wow!very shocked this wasnt up for a while this cd rocks!..and just the other day i was think almost every song has been uploaded...OH and part 3 of this song is just amazing!!!!
!@#$ I hate it when I find masterpieces like this. A whole day can go by with this on repeat, and I won't even notice because I'm too busy enjoying it.
Oh yeah, and Magua's Scalp, Hills of Eternity, For Mom, Whitewash, Carpal Tunnel Slug, Big Sur Moon, The Fairy and the Devil, Pepper's Ghost, All in Waiting, Sketches of Spain, Padmasana, and Electric Tears - needless to say, I'm a huge Buckethead fan now and I decided to look through my music library and find some more songs.
I used to be a man of thought and reason, until the day I came across this song I didn't know if my head was playing with me or I was going insane due to the magnitude of the musical madness that I endured through.
@KristyB5 that is very very true.. i used to write songs to a continued tempo, key, and sometimes even rythm... even watching bucketheads performances gives me a whole new outlook on music theory. hes a genuis
This song gives me the chills. It's a fantastic masterwork! Bucket really makes music that mean things. He's the best artist in the world, if you ask me. He does it over and over again. Buckethead even overdid Slash in my opinion (i still love Slash). :D Ty for posting the video ^^
the most underrated underappreciated musician ever, luckily those who've heard him once can't go back to anyone else
fazeel ashraf
True that!
Well spoken!!
My musical life in one sentence
Buckethead forever
^ Best Comment!
Yep, 10 year fan

pure talent. a true diamond in the rough, a composer, a savant? , a modern day Beethoven? a machine, a alien, just a man that's doing what he was put on this planet to do
he is not on Beethoven's level but very good
+Ares Azrael oh he is
+britch bopa no no he is not, deetoven had every song he had and 10x more for the 300 instruments he mastered to Bucketheads level, and he had all of the songs for each of them and an opera in his head and he was deaf, Mozart is number one and Beethoven is second bucket head no where near
+britch bopa take music appreciation in college a an elective come back to me after 2 semesters and try to tell me Buckethead is even close
+Ares Azrael I like Buckethead
This song is actually insane. My tiny brain can’t even comprehend such creativity
I don't think even Einstein's massive brain could comprehend it to be honest
I have heard of almost all of bucketheads songs and must say that he is one of the most talented musicians that has lived. PERIOD.
I totally agree
there are lots of great Virtuoso's out there like Satriani, Vai, Hendrix, Paul Gilbert etc..but IMO nobody can write a song as good as Buckethead...NOBODY!!!
i think its a more a matter of how they write. no two guitarists are the same, i mean paul gilbert taught buckethead and yet their playing styles are completely different. same goes with satch and vai. yngwie malmsteen is probably one of the only guitarists on earth who can shred at the same speed as buckethead, and he plays a lot of neoclassical whereas buckethead can play a huge variety of genres and even picking styles. its all in the eye of the beholder but i agree that buckethead is one of the best out there
@@wadewilson4998
He only gave Buckethead lessons for a lil over a year.
Those guys can definitely write songs on par with buckethead lol don't be crazy
The thing with buckethead is that he is so freaking original and Unique. You can find that listening to Tim Henson from polyphia writing style, but yet it si a different playing and writing style, worth checking out too!
Buckethead is doing what Hendrix told Peter tork he wanted to do. Hendrix was tired, his eyes drifted, head down said, Paint pictures of earth and space, with music. Peter torks last conversation with Jimi
This song made me cry like 5 times. I'm not even ashamed of that.
i have been a bucket fanatic for the past 4 years now. how am i just hearing this!?
Most of his best stuff came out in that period.
4 years later.. you got any other songs you want to add to that list lol
I got to see him last night! It was the best concert Ive ever been to, he let me touch his killswitch and even gave me a toy! Buckethead forever hes the best guitarist since Hendrix, probably ever! ^_^
i always think i found the perfect song...then i find more buckethead songs in the related videos...same story...
Buckethead is SO INCREDIBLE... He was who inspired me to really get into playing guitar. This song (and pretty much everything else he's put out) is simply unbelievable.
My one wish is to hear him play this live
Omg I couldn't even imagine. That would be the ultimate. My head might explode.

TheFanboy6 thanks dude
Wow Such A Great And Diverse Guitar Player!! Its Just A Shame Hes So Ahead Of His Time Most People Wont Realise His Greatness Until Its Too Late!!!
William Shakespeare.
vincent van gogh.
Not us my friend, we were there
There's more than enough people that already realize his greatness. Believe it or not he's got millions of fans....being in GnR wasn't a total waste for him....it gave him the global exposure he needed!
ONE OF MY TOP 5 RIGHT HERE BOYSSSS
I love when the hook comes back in at 7:21
My god, that intro after all these years is still as incredible as it was back then. Unreal...
2:25 those bongo drums really has their own feeling to them. I love this combination.
in awe of this dude wow amazing. the further I dig into his music the deeper I look into myself. sounds crazy and its hard to explain, but i seem to think about things that have happened or are happening in my life now, when I listen to this wonderful music.
Buckethead is beyond exceptional, but can we take a moment to appreciate the fantastic percussion in this song!?
Very constructive song!
It's good to hear some Buckethead songs with good drums, and effects!
Didn't know this song!
I love it, as all the others!
BUCKETHEAD RULES!
Epic, no words. I want to cry.
"He is not to cause the water to cease flowing about the island of the tower,

The Lurker at the threshold
There are many artists that I love, respect and admire because of how talented they are.
Buckethead is probably the only one to consistently make me crack up at how absurdly good he is.
The breakdown that starts building up at 4:12 is just beyond human
23 people are scared of the one who lurks at the threshold.
Shadowman is scary, at first. He's friendly, though.
go for a walk at night when it's raining or wet outside and listen to this. It's fucking epic !
Walked home from the gym listening to this song. wow
This guy is somethin else
It's fucking Buckethead. It's amazing. It's perfect. This dude is incredible and the best! And this is one of his beastly masterpieces! Maybe my favorite. I'm
its amazing how a guy with a kfc bucket on his head can write something so beautiful
The first minute and a half of this song is probably the most relaxing and true to heart sound that I've ever heard
Exceptional!! Wow just blown away!! Easily one the greatest songs anyone could ever listen to.
it also shows his genius in writing songs
Every time i come to part 1 on the CD, I cant help but listen to the whole thing.... This is awesome without the breaks.
Big B for Life
This song is the closest thing to a masterpiece I have ever heard...
I keep listening to more and more Buckethead songs. And there's about a half dozen that I keep finding to be the best music I've ever heard. And then I'll keep listening to those songs because they're so good. And now I have to add this one as well. I can't keep up with it! Thanks a lot, Buckethead. Ya big jerk!
Buckethead is for people who only accept the best!
THE DAY HE PLAYS THIS SONG LIVE IS THE DAY ILL START LIVING
one of the best BH songs... ever.
8:53 al final, lo que me hace sentir y pensar, estaba muy lejos de lo que yo normalmente pienso, que buena vibra tira...
The intro is sad 💔
kevin Nomus its my personal favorite part of the whole thing. Wish it would've been a little longer
This is quite possibly my favorite BH song. It's so well structured and is so epic. I want to put my guitar down after hearing this guy. It disheartens me. He's so good.
always they makes my hair stand on end when i hear the guitar of Buckethead
holy shit this is amazing! why am i only hearing this now
9:41 of some of the coolest music you will hear.
How can someone go from mild to absolute shredding in the same song? It defies the laws of physics. Bh is my god.
This is not only music!
me too. I like the length of his songs too because he gives you enough time to get lost in the melody and appreciate music.
This song literally does it all. Dudes got a knack for keeping 9 minute instrumentals exciting. Brilliant writing
Wow!
2:25 is my favorite part *-*
Spent 40 years in the business. Made decent money. Thought I was pretty good until I heard this true gift of a guitar player. Cannot comprehend how some of the sounds are made. A true sensitive person and a musical genius.
Buckethead. He is very good and talented guitarist. Thank you for sharing this nice piece of guitar music new friend here.
The first solo is the greatest thing in existence.
This man writes an album every time he picks up a guitar!
I love his simply and deep melodies.
hail bucket.
love you man.
my mom listens to buckethead and shes 43.....she loves him even tho she is scared of his image lol i started her off with all his slow songs mainly from electric tears and colma she said it helps her mellow out whens she stressed at work! bucket can affect all sorts of ppl no matter what the age. just gotta give em a chance
archive.org has a lot of his live sets, friggin amazing stuff, this song especially
BEST SONG BY BUCKETHEAD. HANDS DOWN!!!
so glad i was able to see him live
4:44 this is such a sick solo.
I mean....no words.......I want to cry....
There is this guy in my school that often bullies me, i went to high school with him, and im trying to get new friends but he just tells everyone that im a looser... listening to this song really makes things better :)
I love this song buckethead is a master that tone solo is epic. This story abount this song is amazing 🎸🤘
Its the fault of a lot of music companies why songs as awesome as this arent deserving the respect it should have...
Just because they think a singer or a song isnt going to get anywhere means it wont... BUKETHEAD IS AWESOME
god this song is soo amazing.!!!!! i cant stand it.
This song is so incredible, it's worth it just to sit there an think of some sort of epic story to go along with this music.

Thanks you buckethead, you're the man
Possibly his best work...ever.

I really enjoy this song, I come and listen to it whenever I can, it's truly one of the best songs I have ever heard.
this song, to me, is hands down the greatest song ever recorded
wow!very shocked this wasnt up for a while this cd rocks!..and just the other day i was think almost every song has been uploaded...OH and part 3 of this song is just amazing!!!!
That note at 6:29 kicks ass! Great song.
buckethead is amazing... words cant describe his stuff its just absolutely incredible
Buckethead is a genius.
Thanks for putting the tracks together. This is really great music.
im wierd, i like songs for even the smallest parts like at 1:58 that little heavy riff is just so badass
+Steven Bell Same here man. i feel the same for 5:41
exactly the same dude doesn't make you weird at all, you have a good ear !
+Justin Naujoks real talk though, these 4 strokes at 7:13 s where its at, best moment in the song
my new favorite.
i cant stress how much this music
helps me through the day(s).
LONG LIVE BUCKETHEAD
!@#$
I hate it when I find masterpieces like this. A whole day can go by with this on repeat, and I won't even notice because I'm too busy enjoying it.
Was anyone else as blown away as me by this song?
everything in divine order
Oh yeah, and Magua's Scalp, Hills of Eternity, For Mom, Whitewash, Carpal Tunnel Slug, Big Sur Moon, The Fairy and the Devil, Pepper's Ghost, All in Waiting, Sketches of Spain, Padmasana, and Electric Tears - needless to say, I'm a huge Buckethead fan now and I decided to look through my music library and find some more songs.
(1:27) - (1:57) OH MAH GOOOOD! thats music
I think its a great idea you uploaded the whole thing as one. It's really awesome when you listen to it in one go.
LOVE IT...thanks for sharing...!
I used to be a man of thought and reason, until the day I came across this song I didn't know if my head was playing with me or I was going insane due to the magnitude of the musical madness that I endured through.
7:00-7:50 is my fave bit
beautiful song L000000ng, live buckethead
How can someone dislike it,absurd.
Definitely what I would call a master.
thanks for uploading i love this song
The intro to this song....
@KristyB5 that is very very true.. i used to write songs to a continued tempo, key, and sometimes even rythm... even watching bucketheads performances gives me a whole new outlook on music theory. hes a genuis
i never heard this song before but its pretty much insane and one of my new buckethead favorites...
This song gives me the chills. It's a fantastic masterwork! Bucket really makes music that mean things. He's the best artist in the world, if you ask me. He does it over and over again. Buckethead even overdid Slash in my opinion (i still love Slash). :D Ty for posting the video ^^
wow, i cant believe ive never heard this one before!?!?! great song!
this song is fucking perfect
Such a great album. hope you enjoy it \m/
What a song. Just wicked.
