This song is dedicated to his Aunt who passed away in 2007. She was the person who bought him his first guitar. The song was written in 2006 so she did get to hear it before she passed.
I would say that his best performance on TH-cam is when he played Whitewash with his old band Deli Creeps at Haight St. Fair... The guy literally summons the birds with his guitar
@@justdave9610 yeah, it's the solos I'm talking about though. He has sort of a framework of a solo that he works within. Like how the beginning of the soothsayer solo always has that strangely timed bit, but if you listen to ten performances they're all a bit different while carrying the same vibe. It's interesting, because his set lists are usually fairly stable and formulaic, while the actual note by note of the same songs has a huge variation because of the solos. I guess it lets him stay in his comfort zone while still allowing space for improvisation. A fair amount of it is sort of shred head filler, but there's a lot of emotional content when you can see he's sort of feeling the song at the time. Interesting dude.
@@holliswilliams8426 actually he doesn't play anything genuinely mindless, his improvised follow a scale, althought what's in that may be mindless but who knows, his nubbing sounds like a bunch of random noodling but actually follows a medieval musical code so we may never now
Finally buckethead. Even though he's fast, he also has so many more gentle and melodic songs and not just mindless shreeding. BTW his eye sockets are completely black, so I don't know how he sees anything when he plays. If you're interested, react to Jordan by buckethead, it's fun.
I went to one of his concerts about 2 months ago. I'd listened to at least half of his 300-something albums, and had high expectations, but he surpassed them by miles. Everything he played was totally awesome. His performance was flawless. And yes, some of his fans at the show did wear buckets. Anyway, at around 9:20 you asked "how does he memorize that?", the answer is: he doesn't. He remembers the notes in the scale that the song is written in so that he doesn't play any wrong notes accidentally, and then he makes it up as he goes using little bits of what the studio version sounds like but with tons of variation. He has never played Soothsayer exactly the same way twice, every performance of the song is unique. I can play this song on guitar kinda well, and I've seen a lot of TH-cam covers of it, but nobody can make it sound the way Buckethead does. Edit: You should react to him playing Jordan live at the Culture Room, it's probably his best performance of that song.
8:38 XD XD This is a good reaction! This guy, in my opinion, is from the other world. A fantastic and charismatic musician. He recorded more than 200 albuns. Did a great job in Guns n' Roses and, of course, he is good at nunchakus too.
These songs include no shredding except improvised when Played live. all in the waiting, whitewash, Padmasana, big sir moon, the greenskeeper, the flooding of pain, for mom, sail on soothsayer, broken mirror, wondering, beyond the knowing, I love my parents, electric tears, big d’s touch, there’s plenty way more. The reason he’s one of the if not the best guitarist is he can play music all kinds of music genre.
Buckethead is amazing live, I got to see him live one time. He really interacts with his fans, he Lets his fans use the Killswitch (a button on his guitar that I can't explain the sound of) and he gives out free toys.
Sjw's are sexist kill-switch just stops the signal going from the guitar to the output. It basically like taking the cable out of the guitar expert you can do it much quicker and with ease
you forgot the nunchucks, which was the highlight of the evening the last time he played here since they were just recently decriminalized. he looked like he was having an extra fun time swinging them around that night.
That’s Bucket. He’s so special in so many ways. He’s produced more “albums” than any other musical artist in history for starters. That includes Frank Zappa. He dances like Michael Jackson, uses nunchucks like Bruce Lee, and has a mind of both a child, a giant Japanese robot, a heavy metal rock God and a walk-in from some Galactic place thousands of light years away. He also plays INCREDIBLE slap funk bass. He’s never taken a drug in his life (other than what he has to take now for his heart condition ♥️). He’s afraid (extremely shy) of women. He also wants to build his own amusement park one day. I discovered him years ago 1992 in the SF Bay Area and he ended up opening shows for the band I was in at the time and sitting in with us (band was MIRV). He’s a special soul and one of the most unique, technically capable and creative individuals out there. Thank you Brian/Buckethead. 🥰
He memorizes his because he hears music as a language the sounds are like words of their own, so it's like remembering a long speech he only needs moments to queue himself.
You are right, Buckethead is able to impart incredible unspoken emotion through his songs and his mesmerizing talent. Welcome to Bucketheadland 🎢 .. Now start your journey and get to a live show 🤘, and check out Big B's website for possible upcoming tours. 👍🇺🇲 Woo!
He is simply the best. It's not the speed he is flawless and his music touches the soul. He is not just playing fast all of the time like so many others do. He knows how to transport emotions. For me the best ever
buckethead is not a person, he is a cyborg sent from the future sent here to shame guitarists everywhere. Herman Li tho (Asian Dude from dragonforce) can probably compare to him although slightly inferior because he is still bound by human limits
This is one of the best buckethead reaction videos I have seen yet. I am a huge fan of his, and have seen so many of his reaction videos in last 10 years, your's was so original and this video is my favorite buckethead's performance of Soothsayer. I really loved Thank you for making this video.
I saw Buckethead about 8 years ago in this TINY ASS club in my hometown of Breckenridge, Colorado, a ski resort of about 5,000 people. The club held roughly 200 people and I got to see him from 10 feet away the whole show. Yes, His fingers are freakishly long. Hands down, the best guitarist ever.
OMG buckethead is such a great guitarist, a real genius. A fun fact. he has recorded a really insane number of albums, like 300 . by the way , you look gorgeous today ;) take care.
Those are just Buckethead albums. People often don't count Praxis, Axiom Funk, Death Cube K, Corn Bugs, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, Buckethead and Travis Dickerson, Dragons of Eden, Deli Creeps, and many many other things including video game and movie soundtracks.
He’s actually one of the sweetest individuals out there. Interviews gave a lot of insight on him. Shy guy, but still a cool dude nonetheless. His music can get really emotional too. Totally listen to stuff like Whitewash or Aunt Suzie if you get the chance!
Thank you for reacting to buckethead, I’m glad that you enjoyed it. You should probably listen to one of the songs off of the electric tears album, because that album in a much more emotional album, and it conveys that perfectly. If you don’t listen to it on camera Then definitely listen to the album off camera, because I think you will love it.
I’ve heard different live versions of this song. I see he improvised instead of memorizing. It has a known structure like the beginning and afterwards. As it gets closer to the end it sounds just as good if it’s the same or changed due to improving. It blends with the flow
I saw him in Dallas and my daughter got to push the on/off button on his guitar when he played Jordon. He played to a backing track and drum machines for over two hours flawlessly and touched on any genre you can thing of. He is almost too perfect but a sight to see.
Thanks for checking out Buckethead, He has over 300 albums of mostly if not all instrumentals; I havent heard any vocals yet. There are plenty of full concerts on utube, no two are alike. Enjoy :)
Buckethead is and will be the More extraordinary guitarist of all.give him noble peace.price.he doesnt need speaking .his guitar speak for him.every day i listen him
Btw when you said hes possessed there is a separate entity called death cube k which is a photographic negative version of buckethead which haunts his dreams and produces music that is so scary it could scare even the bravest soul
sorry it took me that long to comment and share my thoughts, cuz I keep on repeating 14:50 - 15:42 i'm like AWWWWWWWWWW YOU'RE SOOO CUUUUUUUTE!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ okay, im behaving now before I keep on looping that part where you wear that heart shaped box on your head! I really love your commentary on this, I really love how you're mesmerized by his guitar playing! best 16+++ mins of my life! (16++ cuz I keep on repeating that part! hahaha) love your video as always!! p.s. your throwback photo where you hold the guitar, I CAN'T!! LIKE TOO MUCH CUTENESS!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
He definitely pulled your attention to his music and it seems like you enjoyed it. I could and have fallen asleep to this song. Beautiful soothing and intense
During his solo concerts he will play guitar with one hand and toss stuffed animals and toys out into the audience with the other. He has made something like close to 100 full length albums
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Buckethead has released around 400 albums. He is a prolific song writer and i highly recommend his albums Colma, Population Override, Crime Slunk Scene and any other albums that pop first if you search fot him on YT as an introduction to his wide range of skill
I hear you about being cursed with little hands and short fingers. My dad has played guitar longer than I've been alive, and I really did try to learn, too, but the little nubs I call fingers simply cannot do what is required. As for Bucket... "Mesmerizing" is my favorite word for him, too. In most live videos, the person recording ignores everyone but him. Can't count the times I've seen video of him waiting patiently while the bassist performs a killer solo off-screen.
Hello X) Check him out in studio quality on good audio set. He has at least 420 albums, constantly releasing them. Granted, a shitload of his music is experimental and very heavy and can be really hard to get into, but still you have dozens of incredible albums with something like Soothsayer on them. I love these: Leave the light on, Wall to wall cobwebs, Worms for the garden, Night of the snowmole, Old toys.. These are 30 minutes long, hundreds of them. Also plenty of older LPs with more ambient stuff, or just really goddamn cool. Checking out what Buck did and does still do is in itself a journey impossible to complete even. And that's a good thing. Then there is a story, a persona, mysterious character raised by chickens, ravaging world with love, mosters, joy and horrors. Sounds crazy? of course it does. And it's beautiful.
Hey Miss Awesome!! People went as far as analyzing the veins in his hands to ID him. I just sit back and enjoy the ride. He is insanely good..... Loved the looks and reactions from you. You were definitely into this. I'm sure somewhere in the world there is a Mrs. Buckethead that is happy for his insanely good hands. :) Artist at his level remember guitar chords like you and I memorize words to a play. Then there are some that never play the same way twice. Jimmy Hendrix often played his stuff a little differently, constantly evolving as they grow. Dang....really like your longer hair... Thanks for the flashback!! Luv ya, mean it!! \m/
Hahah why would they analyze that xD to figure out who he is? & Thank you!!❤️ I was kinda surprised when I read earlier that he improvises which is very impressive tbh..that's pure talent. Luv ya!
@@GiddyKitty For one, to make sure it's the same guy since it could be anyone under the bucket. Second, to identify him in any other bands, without the bucket. There are many theories. Think we need to send Special Agent GK to investigate. Luv ya!! \m/
He's released like 400 albums. Was the lead guitarist for Guns n Roses. Has collaborated with the likes of Bootsy Collins, Viggo freakin Mortensen and Les Claypool. Rocks Robot dancing and Nunchuks. Also check out Death Cube K. Oh yeah he ROCKS the BASS guitar as well! Check out "Elephant Man's Alarm Clock"
He is probably the most prolific contemporary musician, with over 300 studio albums to his name. He is also a super nice guy, letting people touch his guitar during concerts and giving out toys. Another amazing guitarist: John Petrucci (solo albums and guitarist for Dream Theater [check them out prog-metal is amazing] and Liquid Tension Experiment)
The two most generally accepted as best guitarists alive are Steve Vai and John Petrucci. Vai is a solo artist, but Petrucci is part of Dream Theater, with some solo work. You absolutely need to listen to both, but Dream Theater should be a priority. A good song to start on could be Panic Attack, but pretty much any song is good. As for Vai, Tender Surrender is an amazing starting point. Hope you see this! Have a good day/evening/whatever.
Alessandro botta If we were to add all the guitarists worth checking out, we'd end up with a long comment that not many people will read... Joe Satriani Yngwie Malmsteen Tosin Abasi Synyster Gates Timothy Henson Mario Camarena Jason Richardson Ichika Nito Fredrik Thorndendal Stevie Ray Vaughan B.B. King Plini Brian May Michael Angelo Batio Tony Iommi Jimi Hendrix Alex Lifeson Eddie Van Halen David Gilmour Paul Gilbert Dimebag Darrel Marty Friedman John Frusciante I'm bound to have forgotten some, but I put as many as I could
i'm brazilian i'm 21 I met buckethead through soothsayer playing guitar hero 3 on my xbox in 2013, so much that I had already played guitar hero 2 when I was 7 years old in 2006 on my Playstation 2 my father had bought (dvd pirate) I liked it so much I knew how to play on medium but I didn't play "jordan" on the bucket I closed on easy and on medium but I don't remember playing "jordan" after a few years I lost my girlfriend in 15 november 2017 she died and i made slides photos right now 2020 using the songs from the album "shadows between the sky" to honor my Maria and Maria liked "BTS" a group of k-pop and then I found that the initials of this album are "SBTS" her name was maria she died.
I think for Buckethead, guitar is a language. He memorizes it like a speech. Each song is a story. There are five guitarists you must hear - Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BUCKETHEAD, and Tom Morello.
Okay. So if you love this watch For the love of God and Whispering a Prayer by Steve Vai . You wouldn't need lyrics for these two. And I bet you, Whispering a Prayer will bring tears to your eyes.
Whispering a Prayer is one I always recommend too...it's not your "usual" song, but Steve is channeling a straight shot to his higher power throughout that one.
In the rock/metal world, there are SO many great guitarists it's really down to personal preference as to who's "the best". For example, Buckethead's mentor, Paul Gilbert, is pretty good too. And Joe Satriani...and Steve Vai...and Gary Moore...and Stevie Ray Vaughn...and...well, you get the point :). For a change of pace, and a song with lyrics as well as some great guitar work, try Gary Moore "Still Got the Blues"...the one with 57 million views. The video quality isn't very good, but everything else is.
There's a girl in Japan that is just as good as Bucket Head and her name is HaL-Ca of the group Asterism , Bucket Head played a couple of songs on their album ,you might want to check her out 🎸🎸🎸
His Led Zep tribute is crazy good .. Billie Jean .. Smooth Criminal … Jordon … Guns N Roses Live Shows. etc .. He has put out 300 albums on his own label. He has some Banjo and Bass tunes. Just all around nut. He gets to the hall in a van with a roadie and a few amps. None of the security or staff is allowed to talk to him or look him in the eyes and he is always wearing a mask.. Any communication is with the roadie. He plays, he slays .. He rides off into the sunset. There are no pictures of him after 1998 …
He has huge hands (like Steve Vai) and Is amazingly economical in his movement.If you look at his picking hand,it looks like he's barely moving, yet he he is picking almost every note. He doesn't resort to sweep picking or tapping to accomplish super fast flurries of notes. Basically,it looks like he's not even trying. The best part is he keeps everything within the melody of the song.,which is quite beautiful on it's own. As impressive as all the soling is,it could get boring fast if the foundation of the song isn't solid. I can listen to Buckethead all day,as opposed to something like Dragonforce,which is so relentlessly over the top that I can only listen to a few songs before I zone out.To me,Buckethead is in the same category as Steve Vai and Joe Satriani-masters of guitar who never forget that melody is the key to a great song. Since I don't believe anybody can be "the best" in any subjective art form,I won't call Buckethead (or anyone else) that,I just simply call him a master,a virtuoso, someone any guitar player can and should learn from,.
Guitarist Shawn Lane once composed a song called 'Kaiser Nancarrow' which Buckethead tried to play verbatim and nearly succeeded because he didn't know Lane composed Kaiser Nancarrow to be unplayable in real time. Buckethead is just that good. He was also a student of technical instrumental guitarist Paul Gilbert for a while, which is why his playing is so clean even with distortion effects piled on.
I'm glad buckethead is getting more attention these days its well deserved. Also, if you haven't already, check out michael angelo batio and his double guitar
Dont worry about everyone else!! If theyre watching a reaction video, they should be expecting a reaction!! They can always go watch the regular video!
Buckethead actually has a blackout/phantom mask on under his white mask (two masks) and often times can't see what he is playing or doing unless the lights are up - sometimes that's why he looks disoriented on stage
Obviously he's ridiculously talented and I love it, but not even close to the best known. That's the greatest thing of all because there are so many. I'm going to throw a name out at you guys to prove my point. If you are into ridiculously talented guitarists you will know this name. "Mattrach" check out that dudes channel. This guy is as good as anyone you've ever heard. And I think he's actually better than what you just heard.
That's the thing about somebody saying that somebody is the best guitarist in the world. It's pretty impossible to judge. But you're right Mattrach is up there with them. He's frickin amazing
One of the hardest thing in the world is talk about buckethead music. Just look at number album he had and number of geners!! He have a creative mind! Also endless!!!!! I must mention when he play guitar he even dont look to he is guitar!!! one of the best of all time and my N1 FAV guitarist
This song is dedicated to his Aunt who passed away in 2007. She was the person who bought him his first guitar. The song was written in 2006 so she did get to hear it before she passed.
Rip Aunt Suzie
Here's a sentence I never thought I'd say " GET THAT HOT DANCING GIRL OFF THE STAGE I'M TRYING TO WATCH THE GUITARIST! "
😂😂😂😂😂 well yeah!
She was a useless distraction
@@GiddyKitty Yeah, react to Jordan!!!
Is there a dancing girl?? I didn't notice.
I was trying to pay attention to his facial expressions.
This isn’t even one of his best or craziest performances. Bucket Head is definitely an incredible musician
I liked the fact that it's not crazy over the top
He seemed tired and I spotted a half dozen mistakes... and he normally doesn't make mistakes. He has been fighting a heart problem for years.
PIKE 65 OR NOTHING
I would say that his best performance on TH-cam is when he played Whitewash with his old band Deli Creeps at Haight St. Fair... The guy literally summons the birds with his guitar
his best performance is when he played the nunchucks
I don't think you know about this, but the song "Soothsayer", is actually dedicated to his aunt Suzie who gave him his very first guitar
it's soothsayer
it's soothsayer
I knew it was for his Aunt.But I didn't knew she gave him his first guitar.Such a nice lady
Then what’s the song aunt Suzie about🧐
Something Kai he made a couple of songs for people , hence the many for his parents
he improvises a lot during the solos, hes just that badass he can change it how he wants every performance
All elite guitarists can improvise. It's all about knowing which notes go together.
Don´t worry about the lyrics, the guitar is the singer
"How does he even memorize that?"
He doesn't. It's all improvised within a theme or range of sound he's going for.
Yeah, scales and modes from a key or root note!
I would say parts are improvised but other parts are established melodies you'll always hear when he's playing this particular song.
@@justdave9610 yeah, it's the solos I'm talking about though. He has sort of a framework of a solo that he works within.

Some of it is just mindless shred filler but he is definitely capable of great melodies.
@@holliswilliams8426 actually he doesn't play anything genuinely mindless, his improvised follow a scale, althought what's in that may be mindless but who knows, his nubbing sounds like a bunch of random noodling but actually follows a medieval musical code so we may never now
Buckethead makes you want to pick up guitar but when you pick up the same person makes you wanna give up playing guitar😂😂
This is one of his softer/more delicate songs. Some of his songs are absolutely INSANE metal.
I really loved this one I'll probably set it as my ringtone
Oh boy can't even imagine how that would go
Lol cmon, like 60% of this song is still absolute bonkers mindless metal shredding
Yoshimitsu4prez mindless?
Matthew Reese way to just pick the one word out that lets you completely miss the point of my comment. Fuck off.
6:32 "oh my god.. he's possessed" is the most accurate description of Buckethead I have heard
he not possessed he just possessed her to take her panties off
Finally buckethead.
Even though he's fast, he also has so many more gentle and melodic songs and not just mindless shreeding.
BTW his eye sockets are completely black, so I don't know how he sees anything when he plays.
If you're interested, react to Jordan by buckethead, it's fun.
How is that even possible...
@@GiddyKitty It is believed that he is actually blind so he can't see either way. So he plays his guitar by feel and by sound instead of by sight.
@@Ontarianmm He is just a normal dude without the mask. there are some old interviews floating around out there. not blind. just weird.
@@figpcVery weird. LOL
It's just pieces of black mesh in the eye holes.
I went to one of his concerts about 2 months ago. I'd listened to at least half of his 300-something albums, and had high expectations, but he surpassed them by miles. Everything he played was totally awesome. His performance was flawless. And yes, some of his fans at the show did wear buckets.

That’s Bucket. He’s so special in so many ways. He’s produced more “albums” than any other musical artist in history for starters. That includes Frank Zappa. He dances like Michael Jackson, uses nunchucks like Bruce Lee, and has a mind of both a child, a giant Japanese robot, a heavy metal rock God and a walk-in from some Galactic place thousands of light years away. He also plays INCREDIBLE slap funk bass.
He’s never taken a drug in his life (other than what he has to take now for his heart condition ♥️). He’s afraid (extremely shy) of women. He also wants to build his own amusement park one day.

Yes he is the greatest!!!!!!!
All his music is mesmerizing
Rather it's fast or slow

No lyrics needed. His music speaks to soul.

This man plays with his Soul at his Fingerprints 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I saw Buckethead at the TLA on South Street in Philly. He tore it up for two hours without saying a word.

Thanks for checking out Buckethead, He has over 300 albums of mostly if not all instrumentals; I havent heard any vocals yet. There are plenty of full concerts on utube, no two are alike. Enjoy :)
new subscriber, great reaction. i've listening buckethead since 2008.
loved your reaction,subscribed !
Listen to Nottingham Lace ! HOLY!!!! Saw him in concert just pre pandemic. One of two musicians that ever moved me to tears. GASP!
Buckethead is and will be the More extraordinary guitarist of all.give him noble peace.price.he doesnt need speaking .his guitar speak for him.every day i listen him
Btw when you said hes possessed there is a separate entity called death cube k which is a photographic negative version of buckethead which haunts his dreams and produces music that is so scary it could scare even the bravest soul
sorry it took me that long to comment and share my thoughts, cuz I keep on repeating 14:50 - 15:42 i'm like AWWWWWWWWWW YOU'RE SOOO CUUUUUUUTE!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
okay, im behaving now before I keep on looping that part where you wear that heart shaped box on your head! I really love your commentary on this, I really love how you're mesmerized by his guitar playing! best 16+++ mins of my life! (16++ cuz I keep on repeating that part! hahaha)
love your video as always!!
p.s. your throwback photo where you hold the guitar, I CAN'T!! LIKE TOO MUCH CUTENESS!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hahaha awwh thank you!🙈❤️❤️❤️❤️ Glad you enjoyed the video!😘 Your comments always make me smile :3'
@@GiddyKitty awwwwww that's so sweet! also thank you too! you're my cure for my sadbOi vibes!! ♥️
He definitely pulled your attention to his music and it seems like you enjoyed it. I could and have fallen asleep to this song. Beautiful soothing and intense
During his solo concerts he will play guitar with one hand and toss stuffed animals and toys out into the audience with the other. He has made something like close to 100 full length albums
he's like 6'5 or so. the guitars are scaled up to look normal next to him. i love his quirks and work!
One of the most creative guitarists ever and in my top 3 of all time.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Buckethead has released around 400 albums. He is a prolific song writer and i highly recommend his albums Colma, Population Override, Crime Slunk Scene and any other albums that pop first if you search fot him on YT as an introduction to his wide range of skill
As a Buckethead and K-pop fan (i'm ONCE), I think this is great. You earned a new subscriber.
I hear you about being cursed with little hands and short fingers. My dad has played guitar longer than I've been alive, and I really did try to learn, too, but the little nubs I call fingers simply cannot do what is required.
As for Bucket... "Mesmerizing" is my favorite word for him, too. In most live videos, the person recording ignores everyone but him. Can't count the times I've seen video of him waiting patiently while the bassist performs a killer solo off-screen.
Buckethead é simplesmente incrível! Para mim, o melhor.
Hello X) Check him out in studio quality on good audio set. He has at least 420 albums, constantly releasing them. Granted, a shitload of his music is experimental and very heavy and can be really hard to get into, but still you have dozens of incredible albums with something like Soothsayer on them. I love these: Leave the light on, Wall to wall cobwebs, Worms for the garden, Night of the snowmole, Old toys.. These are 30 minutes long, hundreds of them. Also plenty of older LPs with more ambient stuff, or just really goddamn cool. Checking out what Buck did and does still do is in itself a journey impossible to complete even. And that's a good thing. Then there is a story, a persona, mysterious character raised by chickens, ravaging world with love, mosters, joy and horrors. Sounds crazy? of course it does. And it's beautiful.
Buckethead is a Gift from the Rock Gods! GOAT guitarist and performer ever!!!
Hey Miss Awesome!! People went as far as analyzing the veins in his hands to ID him. I just sit back and enjoy the ride. He is insanely good..... Loved the looks and reactions from you. You were definitely into this. I'm sure somewhere in the world there is a Mrs. Buckethead that is happy for his insanely good hands. :) Artist at his level remember guitar chords like you and I memorize words to a play. Then there are some that never play the same way twice. Jimmy Hendrix often played his stuff a little differently, constantly evolving as they grow. Dang....really like your longer hair... Thanks for the flashback!! Luv ya, mean it!! \m/
Hahah why would they analyze that xD to figure out who he is? & Thank you!!❤️ I was kinda surprised when I read earlier that he improvises which is very impressive tbh..that's pure talent.
Luv ya!
@@GiddyKitty For one, to make sure it's the same guy since it could be anyone under the bucket. Second, to identify him in any other bands, without the bucket. There are many theories. Think we need to send Special Agent GK to investigate. Luv ya!! \m/
He's released like 400 albums. Was the lead guitarist for Guns n Roses. Has collaborated with the likes of Bootsy Collins, Viggo freakin Mortensen and Les Claypool. Rocks Robot dancing and Nunchuks. Also check out Death Cube K. Oh yeah he ROCKS the BASS guitar as well! Check out "Elephant Man's Alarm Clock"
He is probably the most prolific contemporary musician, with over 300 studio albums to his name. He is also a super nice guy, letting people touch his guitar during concerts and giving out toys.
Another amazing guitarist: John Petrucci (solo albums and guitarist for Dream Theater [check them out prog-metal is amazing] and Liquid Tension Experiment)
You make watching Buckethead 100% better. Love U
No one mentioned he played with Guns and Roses for almost 4 years after Slash left the band. He was even given his own segment during the concerts.
This song was a tribute to his aunt Suzie, thats why the song is so full of emotions. Such a beautiful performance.
His reach goes even further than you think. His Les Paul is special made, larger than most all other guitars that look like that.
Yeah buckethead is really one of or the best guitarist today and he’s a super nice person
The two most generally accepted as best guitarists alive are Steve Vai and John Petrucci. Vai is a solo artist, but Petrucci is part of Dream Theater, with some solo work. You absolutely need to listen to both, but Dream Theater should be a priority. A good song to start on could be Panic Attack, but pretty much any song is good.
As for Vai, Tender Surrender is an amazing starting point.
Hope you see this! Have a good day/evening/whatever.
Interesting
I'll check it out thanks ☺️
Or the steve vai halo theme for the meme of it all
I think that we have to include also Y.j.Malmsteen
@@alessandrobotta8344 that was my first comment.. his live stuff from the 80s is amazing

Yngwie Malmsteen
Tosin Abasi
Synyster Gates
Timothy Henson
Mario Camarena
Jason Richardson
Ichika Nito
Fredrik Thorndendal

I'm bound to have forgotten some, but I put as many as I could
You can check the finnish mdm band named Insomnium , they are incredible , melodic and heavy at the same time )
Nice reaction video! I’ve been very hooked on his song Eerie Canal lately. It’s an amazing journey. 🎸🐓🎸🐓🎸
i'm brazilian i'm 21 I met buckethead through soothsayer playing guitar hero 3 on my xbox in 2013, so much that I had already played guitar hero 2 when I was 7 years old in 2006 on my Playstation 2 my father had bought (dvd pirate) I liked it so much I knew how to play on medium but I didn't play "jordan" on the bucket I closed on easy and on medium but I don't remember playing "jordan" after a few years I lost my girlfriend in 15 november 2017 she died and i made slides photos right now 2020 using the songs from the album "shadows between the sky" to honor my Maria and Maria liked "BTS" a group of k-pop and then I found that the initials of this album are "SBTS" her name was maria she died.
I think for Buckethead, guitar is a language. He memorizes it like a speech. Each song is a story. There are five guitarists you must hear - Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BUCKETHEAD, and Tom Morello.
Okay. So if you love this watch For the love of God and Whispering a Prayer by Steve Vai . You wouldn't need lyrics for these two. And I bet you, Whispering a Prayer will bring tears to your eyes.
Whispering a Prayer is one I always recommend too...it's not your "usual" song, but Steve is channeling a straight shot to his higher power throughout that one.
In the rock/metal world, there are SO many great guitarists it's really down to personal preference as to who's "the best". For example, Buckethead's mentor, Paul Gilbert, is pretty good too. And Joe Satriani...and Steve Vai...and Gary Moore...and Stevie Ray Vaughn...and...well, you get the point :). For a change of pace, and a song with lyrics as well as some great guitar work, try Gary Moore "Still Got the Blues"...the one with 57 million views. The video quality isn't very good, but everything else is.
buckethead-padmasana , a really great one
I'm simple man, when i sees buckethead react, i click. Btw u look so cute haha.
If you haven't seen it yet, I also recommend the best live performance of Welcome to Bucketheadland.
I would recommend, for mom, by buckethead. It’s an amazingly wholesome song .
There's a girl in Japan that is just as good as Bucket Head and her name is HaL-Ca of the group Asterism , Bucket Head played a couple of songs on their album ,you might want to check her out 🎸🎸🎸
His Led Zep tribute is crazy good .. Billie Jean .. Smooth Criminal … Jordon … Guns N Roses Live Shows. etc .. He has put out 300 albums on his own label. He has some Banjo and Bass tunes. Just all around nut. He gets to the hall in a van with a roadie and a few amps. None of the security or staff is allowed to talk to him or look him in the eyes and he is always wearing a mask.. Any communication is with the roadie. He plays, he slays .. He rides off into the sunset. There are no pictures of him after 1998 …
He has huge hands (like Steve Vai) and Is amazingly economical in his movement.If you look at his picking hand,it looks like he's barely moving, yet he he is picking almost every note. He doesn't resort to sweep picking or tapping to accomplish super fast flurries of notes. Basically,it looks like he's not even trying. The best part is he keeps everything within the melody of the song.,which is quite beautiful on it's own. As impressive as all the soling is,it could get boring fast if the foundation of the song isn't solid. I can listen to Buckethead all day,as opposed to something like Dragonforce,which is so relentlessly over the top that I can only listen to a few songs before I zone out.To me,Buckethead is in the same category as Steve Vai and Joe Satriani-masters of guitar who never forget that melody is the key to a great song. Since I don't believe anybody can be "the best" in any subjective art form,I won't call Buckethead (or anyone else) that,I just simply call him a master,a virtuoso, someone any guitar player can and should learn from,.
Why does his left hand remind me of a "face-hugger" from "Aliens"? not human! Top reaction!
This is better than any kpop
Guitarist Shawn Lane once composed a song called 'Kaiser Nancarrow' which Buckethead tried to play verbatim and nearly succeeded because he didn't know Lane composed Kaiser Nancarrow to be unplayable in real time. Buckethead is just that good. He was also a student of technical instrumental guitarist Paul Gilbert for a while, which is why his playing is so clean even with distortion effects piled on.
did you heard the emotion from him ?
you just focus the finger and saying wow amazing.
I'm glad buckethead is getting more attention these days its well deserved.
Also, if you haven't already, check out michael angelo batio and his double guitar
Dont worry about everyone else!! If theyre watching a reaction video, they should be expecting a reaction!! They can always go watch the regular video!
He's not memorizing anything, he's just playing whatever he feels in the moment. Improvisation is a big part of live performances.
That's pretty impressive.
Buckethead actually has a blackout/phantom mask on under his white mask (two masks) and often times can't see what he is playing or doing unless the lights are up - sometimes that's why he looks disoriented on stage
Oh come on. Yeah, he's a genius and can play like that just improvizing but Soothsayer is well known prewritten track.
@@lkeaboy only in the first 3 minutes
You should watch videos of him dancing....he's really good at that too.
Obviously he's ridiculously talented and I love it, but not even close to the best known. That's the greatest thing of all because there are so many. I'm going to throw a name out at you guys to prove my point. If you are into ridiculously talented guitarists you will know this name. "Mattrach" check out that dudes channel. This guy is as good as anyone you've ever heard. And I think he's actually better than what you just heard.
That's the thing about somebody saying that somebody is the best guitarist in the world. It's pretty impossible to judge. But you're right Mattrach is up there with them. He's frickin amazing
Try listenning to Marty Friedman, that guy gives me chills every time
Yes yes yes!
One of the hardest thing in the world is talk about buckethead music. Just look at number album he had and number of geners!! He have a creative mind! Also endless!!!!! I must mention when he play guitar he even dont look to he is guitar!!! one of the best of all time and my N1 FAV guitarist
Bucket, and a beautiful girl appreciating him. I couldn't ask for more!
He plays the guitar, it's true, but he's not the only one. even on TH-cam you can find as well. try the BABYSASTER channel. YOU will love her
She is incredible. I would recommend her cover of Painkiller by Judas Priest.
So much this!!
