+dingledong94 interestingly enough the expression on the mask kinda fits in very well with the way hes playing. Making it almost look like a real guitar face. haha.
I honestly believe the fact his face is covered enables him to put more honesty and unashamed passion into his playing... Stage fright gets to everyone and he doesn't have to deal with that so much with a mask... he can truly be in his own world and just play.
Damn baby you be lookin' fine, y0. I mean your picture is probably airbrushed a lil and it's so small I can't actually tell what you really look like but damn baby you got it goin' on.
Best part about hiding under your mask is that you can go anywhere without getting annoyed by people and paparazzis and do whatever u want without being noticed
+Xel'lotath Maybe u should ask those non talent dancers in his video if he "gives a shit about people" cant see those peeps starring in much else, thus he must care :)......amazing gaming music though!!

I must describe the first time that I ever saw this man to you. I was Nelson Ledges Rock Quarry in Ohio. (an amazing venue for a music festival) God only knows how much alcohol I had consumed, someone had just dropped acid on my tongue, and as I saw him come on stage not knowing what to expect he started playing and I swear I melted in the spot I was standing in. It was like whatever was going on in that moment around me completely stopped and it was just me and a man with a big bucket on his head shredding a guitar hovering around me. At that moment in 2006 I fell in love with everything about this guy. Thanks for reading.
This is probably the only version of any song/artist labeled "best live version" that is actually OBJECTIVELY correct. I come back to it like at least 5 times a year.
This is Michael Meyers other brother, Buckethead Meyers. They are both insanely good at what they do, but instead of picking up a knife, Buckethead picked up an ax.
***** Yes. He is SO albino. He is totally michael meyer's brother. Why don't you believe this? Teehee jk ^_^ it's actually the first time i've heard of this albino thing. did someone actually say that? i hope i didn't raise your blood pressure! you're a sweetheart for being so real.
To me, this person is like a horribly misunderstood phantom who's only way of conveying emotion is through his hands, from which it pours like a fountain roaring down a mountain.
Buckethead is one of the best guitar players I have ever seen. This guy has made over 80 studio albums alone! I don't think this guy is ever going to run out of creativity any time soon. His work is just so awesome!
They say this is one of many songs written about his Aunt Susie, who bought him his first guitar and thus "predicted the future" hence being a soothsayer.
Read this and tell me if it's not the truth! If you look at most of our comments. They express this obsessive almost love for this guys ability to play guitar. The way it's so emotional and extremely unique. We all can agree there is no guitarist out there as true and humble as this guy right here. I've been listening to him for awhile and I still don't know his real name nor his face. He had so many chances to become big but he stayed humble and low and stayed true to music! I just think it's crazy that we all are so amazed by him, I can't believe this music existed. It's as valuable as gold! Just goes to show that music isn't ran by musicians... Just lousy corporations
+Teryel I checked him out. I watched a full live show with a bass player(can't think of the name) and these three Indian guys. It was actually pretty awesome shit. Thanks man!! Time to time you can hear some bucket head in there(or should I say you can hear the influences on buckethead).
The way he plays full of passion. Persuading your senses, creating an atmosphere so Sweet. You are falling in love. You are not even listening when he touch the strings. All the World bécame pure love and peace. We miss the Bucket soooo much 🙏🏻😢🙌🏻🥰🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
On my 50 years on this earth I have never heard such a sustained intricate display of the playing of the electric guitar. Jimi and Stevie Ray would have been humbly proud. Thanks Buckethead- I can not stop listening and watching.
so cool that after 10 years the full footage of this gig is now available on YT. this was his best guitar tone ever, and this soothsayer version is totally worthy of being called the best, even though there are even better.
Ed J Used to think like that, but keep digging and you'll find there's no such thing as a best buckethead song. There's only those songs that are at the point where comparison is useless. Check out animal behavior outro live versions, same with scraps, interworld and the new innocence. Also some pikes like 65 are insane :)

aicMadSeason Buckethead makes the earth. an awesome place to live... AND NEPTUNE TOO!

I know... and that's only half of the story. You can't really see much of his right hand most of the time...
i know right!!
JUSTTTT his fucking pinky is hundred tmes mobile than my middle finger
It's weird how he wears a mask with no expression yet his music speaks so much emotion.
Its because he has extreme anxiety irl
What exactly?
He wears a bucket only to hide his tears while he is playing with all this heart. No other musician can ever contemplate how much he is going through while playing such out of the planet music. Buckethead is raw emotions man !

I dont get this... He's good, but not like.... This much support good
