Buckethead - Plays AC⚡️DC, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen and more! Live @ Ace of spades 9/27/23

My first time seeing Buckethead and I was totally blown away! Ace of spades Sacramento, CA 9/27/2023
Some context this is Bucketheads encore, he was already done with his show and came back out to play a little more. He started having problems with his laptop and equipment and couldn’t lay a backing track down so he decided on the spot to play a few riffs and mess around to entertain the crowd.

@@MickH60 More like “Bully’s” instead of “Musicians”, what kind of musicians go on other musicians videos just to shit on them? You’re probably just a jerk but I find it hard to believe you’re actually a musician because real musicians don’t put other musicians down. Please by all means show us videos of your “serious musician friends” and yourself and we’ll compare you to Buckethead.

“Having trouble with his laptop.. so he couldn’t play.”. Do you know how completely pathetic that sounds?

[@darthvader421]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@waltzguy14151If you don’t like it don’t watch simple, you weren’t there and didn’t see his full show he brought the house down. It’s not his fault his equipment stopped working stuff happens if you’ve ever played live you’d realize some things are out of your control. Look at Frusciante with RHCP on their unlimited love tour, his pedalboard took a shit just about every concert does that mean Frusciante sucks or can’t play? Hell no, you don’t have to like Buckethead but why go out of your way to trash a man who has done nothing to you? You got nothing better to do?

The guy has been playing professionally for over 35 years. He plays with some really big names as well as doing music for movies and video games. Music fans know who he is and admire his talent. As for the people asking who he is: his name is Brian Carroll.

Never seen anything like it ! No emotion listen to Soothsayer so melodic in the beginning. He must have practiced for hours on end to develop such technique and accuracy with his playing. Truly a virtuoso guitarist. Quite the hook with the KFC bucket and facemask. I don’t even know how he can see to play. He is so effortless he doesn’t even need to look …simply amazing. The people here with all these negative comments have no idea ! The ignorance It just makes me laugh…

Its all about the show and the mystery of who this man is. If you havent been, i would highly recommend it. Bucket is one of my heroes. I have found so much amazing music in the mass amount of media he has. I hope anyone that has anything bad to say can just appreciate a guy doing his best to entertain all of us. We love you Buckethead. Also... I think The Dooo is Buckets son or something. I dunno.

Idk why this dude has fucken blown my mind since I was little, he’s like a phantom he’s like Eddie and Hendrix to me when it came to how to manipulate the guitar and it’s sound to the sounds in your head. Guys like these are the reason my I picked guitar up. And wanted to play, after I realized that being musically inclined is a gift and not something to take advantage of, I only to say i suck and keep trying to learn all types of music, and it’s thanks to dudes like these guys and musicians in the world in general, all of them.

❤this is The Buckethead! As in step back Steve Vai and take note.. Buckethead! Hes just fuckin round showcasing his ability to play almost anyones anything...without knowing how to play it. Like playing by ear... from memory.. little segments of like 10 songs. Annnd im willing to bet that segment was never rehearsed... he was mearly killing time. Dudes released more albums than all those he just covered Combined!!! And im not even a big fan.. cant really get into his stuff.. (or steve vai) but i give credit where its due~ Do your homework people...

Buckethead is one of the most influential guitarist of our time!! He has released over 380 albums and has worked with Les Claypool of Primus, Bernie Worrell(Funkadelic), Brain, and if you don't know his discography and his abilities as a guitarist, that's very unfortunate for you to all the individuals that have never had the privilege to know him. He doesn't smoke, drink or curse, and is probably one of the kindest humans on our planet!!

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

I had a chance to see him at a festival in Northern Michigan about 15 years ago.... Missed it because we were on a family trip, and well...family got in the way....

Hopefully, Buckethead will play soon wherever you're living now. I hope you get that opportunity, Corneilius!! Cheers!! (Pun)-> Put it on your bucket list!

[@louieAdams]

He’s a moron. It would be nice if he played at his shows like he does in the albums. Don’t play live and steal people’s money with this low quality shit. How he keeps selling tickets is beyond me. I’ve listened to all his albums. Technically, he’s a great guitar player but a shitty arrogant performer. He frequently stops shows and storms off stage never to return. How is that a good human?
