Buckethead - One of the best, most emotional versions of Soothsayer Live | Asia and BJ

[@davidcarter6491]

Saw him a few times in Boston! So glad you sort of understand his talent! He played for Guns and Roses the two years Slash solved. When Buckethead left the band Slash said it took him a long time to figure out Buckets music!

[@beantoes1277]

Buckethead is amazing. I am so glad you guys checked him out. ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@yazansyouf8529]

Yes!!!

[@Vmaxfodder]

No lie

[@godfirst857]

He makes all his own music. No band. He has almost 1000 songs I think. He's amazing

[@erickane4839]

3191 songs... might go up tomorrow

[@PongGod]

Last week he released 8 new albums. Yes, ALBUMS!

[@BOLDASAUR]

NOT TRUE!

[@PongGod]

@@BOLDASAUR Which part is not true?

[@dizzzy2236]

He had 118 Albums on 2015 itself, crazy isn't it

[@laneykehel5057]

I've seen him 22 times - solo and with other acts, such as Primus. His hands fascinate me. He's 6 ft 8, moonwalks, robot dances, does nunchucks, and gives out toys to people in the front row. He's recorded over 400 albums, 79 of them collaborations. He's probably the most prolific and talented guitar player alive. He also did the soundtrack of the game Mortal Kombat and has had two songs that were the bonus tracks on the Guitar Player cds. He's awesome. Thanks for doing this reaction.

[@rickruss23]

also the power rangers theme for the movie

[@Chelovechek-dy8xu]

22 times? Dude, I'm dreaming about see him just once and when I read it I got crazy. You're really lucky one

[@bazzingabomb]

Buckethead isn't of this earth, legend has it 9 months after that performance that guitar had a litter of les pauls....

[@willasacco9898]

I could believe that

[@joebarrera9741]

He's actually the best guitarist in the world

[@Meyzen76]

Saw him a couple years ago and it was truly amazing! Got to tap the kill switch on his guitar when he does a crowd friendly section in his show. Super talented. Plays many styles and makes an insane amount of music. He’s actually been a therapeutic part of my life. Can’t say that about many artists to that extent. Glad you got to check him out! ✌🏼

[@bardsimpson1404]

Buckethead is almost his own genre of music. You name the style, and he can do it. Acoustic albums, blues, shred, experimental, psychedelic, he even has a banjo album. I consider his music the soundtrack of my life👍

[@markb1114]

His guitar playing and artistry is stellar. 💯🎸🔥

[@johnfinlay4963]

he was my singers guitar teacher back in late 80’s early 90’s . super cool dude .

[@forsakenart_]

I'm so glad you guys are checking out Buckethead! Incredibly talented and versatile. He's my favorite guitarist and, in my opinion, the best of all time! He's the reason I started playing guitar!

[@carlmartens5248]

The more times you listen to it the more emotional it gets for you

[@philtarbox8256]

I had the privilege to see Buckethead perform this in a small venue (a bar called Higher Ground) in Burlington Vermont many years ago... he is a wizard on a guitar (his extraordinary long fingers probably help with that... Lol)... watching him up close playing is something I will never forget

[@micki1815]

Thanks for introducing me to an artist I haven't heard before! I will definitely be checking out more of his work! Love y'alls reaction!

[@PongGod]

He's the GOAT. Once you dive in, you'll find an endless supply of great music spanning multiple genres. Nobody else even comes close.

[@umershaikh7179]

@@PongGod the GOAT of what? guitar music?

[@PongGod]

@@umershaikh7179 Yes, of course. If you combine his technical skills on the guitar with his compositional skills and extraordinary output, no one else even comes close.

[@reddevilunited77]

I've seen him live 6 or 7 times, and I'll go any time he comes to town! He puts on an amazing show!

[@larrygcrews7971]

Bucket has played with GUNS N ROSES in the early 2000s and had played with Primus as a guest many of times ..He has had a live band that had toured with him years back..Thanks for this awesome reaction video great job guys!!

[@brandongarrison5610]

So cool you guys did Buckethead...he is top 3 in my opinion

[@localhoast2009]

He's #1 . End of story. Even though he may not look it. Please listen to him and you will understand. Great album is "Colma". That's a good start. The whole album is a peaceful moment. No lyrics just music. Thank you guys for everything

[@thabudmaster]

wow! not many people out there checking out Buckethead. What a song! he is indeed from another planet

[@neonvandal8770]

Light speed shredding, but hasnt forgotten soul and feeling - that fact puts him above 95% of the shred fretwank brigade. Incredible musician! 🎸🔥🔥🔥

[@shawnmcintosh1574]

He is the epitome of fine guitar players in the world. May he stay blessed.Riff it up!!!

[@norair1010]

Saw him a few years back. Only show I have been to were there was no microphone. He just shredded for 2 straight hours. He got hurt a few years back and was in bed for a year so he put out an album a day. Has like 450 albums. He was in Guns and Roses for a while back around 2000.

[@keithkinkade4265]

You might not believe it but the studio version is even better. I used to mow my yard and it was a big yard, to Buckethead and I would just get lost in the magic and be done before I knew it. The guy is unbelievable

[@PongGod]

Yes, the studio version is so much better!

[@F3502000]

Yeah, you just watched the best rock guitar player ever. He blows everyone away.

[@danrudnick5252]

Check out his song Jordan too. Or anything he did with Les Claypool, the bassist from Primus. Or Praxis, his band with Bernie Worrell, the keyboardist from Parliament Funkadelic. Buckethead shows are crazy. It's just him and a guitar. And he dips into weird stuff like songs from Star Wars or random movies in the middle of songs.

[@psionic6126]

Wow....i'm very surprised you reacted to Buckethead. Nice one!

[@AsiaandBJ]

Thanks!

[@PaulinTaegu]

OK, I've seen your reaction videos before but Buckethead earned you a new sub. You can definitely get lost in BH's music!

[@phenooharra8310]

Perfection has a name, and that name is Buckethead 🙏

[@vicegrips188]

BucketHead in my opinion is the best guitar slayer! He’s played with several bands but dose his own thing too. I think he’s made hundreds of albums in a year. He’s insane for sure. Thanks for the reaction✌

[@margaretc5679]

Love seeing people discover the insane talent that is Buckethead. 😁

[@scapito]

I first heard Buckethead as a solo artist. I saw Buckethead live with Les Claypool (bassist for Primus) and Bernie Worrell (keyboards for Parliament Funkadelic and Talking Heads). They all took a backseat when Buckethead was playing. First time I saw Les Claypool play second to anyone else. 🙂 Buckethead is incredible.

[@rons3634]

Favorite song title from Buckethead: Gory Head Stump. The song itself is really good too. His song "Jordan" is also often reacted to if you ever have time for another Buckethead song. As others have said, he's created well over 300 albums (ALBUMS) and it's just him and a backing track.

[@_CombatHippie_]

I love Gory Head Stump live, it’s such a great song!!! Buckethead had over 500 albums now as of 2023!!!🤯

[@PongGod]

He's got so many bizarre song titles. One of my favorites is "Yellow Brick Snail" and it's a fantastic piece of music.

[@brentabbott3954]

Bucket Head is a smooth flowing 🎸 player.

[@jasonrossetta5203]

You both are world class and you're doing well. Buckethead is in a class of his own for me. And I am more of rap guy but his music is like chicken soup for the soul

[@jasonrossetta5203]

[@jeffrubin5847]

great and appropriate reaction. I didn't know who he was and someone took me to a show on City Island, NYC and I felt as you both did. that mask hides the man and adds another dimension, too.

[@connormufc5128]

Buckethead is awesome

[@laneykehel5057]

Buckethead has recorded more than 400 solo albums and approximately 80 other projects with various musicians.

[@WatsonStreetPictures]

He is truly on another level.

[@luisalvarado3788]

He's Buckethead.. today he has over 515 pikes.. literally thousands of songs...

[@bradyserie7296]

I have been a fan of you guys and buckethead for a long time so I'm very happy to see your reaction. He's one of the big reasons I decided to learn guitar again. Definitely check out more of his tunes!

[@stewpot6998]

Buckethead is Buckethead. 🙂 but he's also c2b3 and Praxis. You'll know the people in those bands. Best ever- Mishawaka 2006 and Fillmore Denver 2004 (c2b3). Great job!!

[@metalmark1214]

Buckethead is a great guitar player. Some of the greats are gone - SRV, Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck, Randy Rhoads, Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Dimebag Darrell, Terry Kath, Gary Moore to name a few. Some of the guitar greats still alive - Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Tony, McAlpine, Eric Johnson, Frank Marino, Alex Skolnick, John Petrucci, Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons. A Guitar Instrumental only stream would be a great one to do.

[@jdaddy1962]

My guy..... Jimmy Page wasn't the first name on the still alive list?.... SMH

[@Monkeyboy2457]

Great comment. I agree you must have forgotten Jimmy Page by mistake. Buckethead is a blessing and a gift to guitar fans who loved and miss the great players. Buckethead is a miracle easily worthy of being in the list of greats. His playing is the next level, beyond EVH and he is out there on his own.

[@clmannheimer]

I've seen a lot of guitar players in my day and I have to say he has one of the strongest pinkies I've ever seen. Like omg

[@PainInTheS]

In-sa-ne guitarist!!! But still under most people's radar. I love his collaborations with Les Claypool, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell and others.

[@PongGod]

Incredibly versatile guitarist and composer. He does everything from metal to easy listening and anything in between. For something entirely different, check out Mount Shasta. Absolutely beautiful track.

[@KoriconNala]

I love Buckethead, seen him live 15 times. But I gotta say, I love you two as well. BJ... we are both bearded cavemen that somehow got beautiful women. I'm still confused about mine. But, I totally understand yours's. Keep up the great work. I love you both.

He has like 350+ albums, solo artist. Just buckethead , he has played with guns n roses and les claypool.

[@JauLingChou]

and don't forget, he's close friends with the one and only Bootsy Collins too ;-)

[@UnaGunnera]

Awww Buckethead 💗💗 maravilloso!!

[@stephenellis5729]

He was in Guns N’ Roses, check out his gnr story. It’s wild

[@Adrian_Scott72]

Buckethead has performed with numerous other musicians and bands since the very early 90's, including Praxis, Primus and perhaps most notably Guns N Roses. Collectively, between all of that, he has released in excess of 400 albums and EP's. That's not an extra 0 or typo lol

[@michaelpennington9327]

I haven’t listened to a lit of Buckethead, but I like everything I’ve heard. He’s an amazing talent. Another one to check out with similar shredding speed is Paul Gilbert. Check out his songs Scarified or Technical Difficulties.

[@joshm6854]

Buckethead will take you down a rabbit hole if you choose to let him. He has over 300 albums of originally written and composed music. Hes a modern day Mozart with a catalog that rivals composers of old. His music will trigger any emotion you want to feel. None of it has words. Its a brilliant way to not muddy the art with words that are personal to him and it allows you to make the journey of the song personal to you and your feelings/experiences. A few fun facts about Buckethead. He is 6' 6" and has to have his guitar custom made to be about 20% bigger to be the right proportion to his size. He wears a bucket and mask as a way to combat his stage fright. His name is believed to be Brian Patrick Carroll but no one knows for sure. He is a huge NBA fan with songs like "Jordan", "Redeem Team", and "Lebron" as a few of his tributes.

[@martel1972]

I love the fact that this brings a smile to Asia's face like it does a😊
