This shit is beyond cool. More than anyone, you deserve to chop it up with these guys, Natter. Again, we're all grateful for this content. 🙏🍻

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, brother. Very much appreciated as always! Woo!!

[@bucketheadimagineering4709]

This is great. Every time I'm at Disneyland I'm looking at everyone's hands that are taller than 6' to see if I can spot Big B. If I ever did I'd be too nervous to say anything though. Haha. Thanks for doing these! Woo!!

[@NatterNet]

Haha yes, you can hide the face B but unless you're wearing gloves that *VEIN* is standing out like a sore thumb. Woo!!

[@mramos7390]

This video was the best part of my Sunday here in Brazil. Long life for buckethead! tks 🇧🇷🤘

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend. Happy to make it a glorious Sunday. Woo!!

[@infiniteproccs2722]

Hahaha, inspired by Shut up n' play yer guitar by Frank Zappa, nice. Buckethead would have fit sooo nicely on that! Other than that, thank you so much for the interview. Although I fully and humbly respect Bucketheads privacy I certainly enjoy learning about how much of a good and humble person he is, whilst having such an influence on so many peoples' lifes and certainly on mine.

[@chriscroce]

Just wow. Great interview!

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend. Much appreciated!! Woo!!

[@attic2349]

Man, you get glorious interviews along with incredible other stuff. I admire the guests for participating.

[@Mr_Mirv]

This is great. I love all of Extrakd's work that I've heard, (Bermuda Triangle, El Stew, Mars Mechanics, Gonervill, etc...) Such a big fan of all these guys. It's nice to hear stories of Mirv, Brain, Bucket, Laswell. I could listen to stuff like this all day.

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend. And glad you appreciate this stuff and his work. Part 2 coming soon! Woo!!

[@eddiegould4312]

[@shonepolk9112]

Man what a killer interview and insight! I hope that Buckethead will reunite with these guys and crank out some killer sounds! Truly hope he will tour again in the next year or so, as I would love to see him live. My 15 year old is ‘addicted’ now to Buckethead’s style and I hear him right now in his room trying to play soothsayer 👍💪😉🤣

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend. I hope so too, would love to see B reuniting with all these great musicians from his past and doing album sequels, like coming full circle. Woo!!

[@shonepolk9112]

NatterNet thanks btw for keeping Buckethead music flowing to the masses! If you remember I posted a comment last Sunday that I had just learned of him that very day lol. Since then, for the last week, I find myself listening to his music all day every day while working, and my son is hooked as well, we are hoping like everyone that he tours again, that we may have a chance to experience his greatness in person!

[@ashtongoodwin9332]

Awesome channel, much thanks. It always came down to Buckethead and Marty Friedman as my 2 favorite guitar players. But after listening to both for years, I think I’ve decided that Bucket comes out on top for me. There is just so much art, originality, and personality in all that he does and goes beyond music.

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend. Yeah Marty is great for sure, interviewed him a while back actually, good guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/pF6kd4mthpJlj7s but yeah, Bucket rules the roost. Woo!!

[@remcobartelink2856]

Oh wauw. I 'm listening to "Let 's be Frank" as I type this, thank you very much for mentioning it, it's great. It oozes Zappa 's spirit. I have been a Zappa fan for 33 years and only found out about Buckethead recently by chance and love his music and persona. Who would have thought there was actually a link with Zappa (apart from the love for rubber chickens :-D). Please continue your great videos.

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend. Glad you checked out the album! Excellent band. And more great stuff to come...always! Woo!!

What a cool interview! Another knock out for sure (flawless victory) and of course it ends with Herbie, which is a must in everything cool! Like the doctor says, "A Herbie a day keeps the grandpa away", unless of course you're named Sally, then you really, REALLY need to meet the grandpa! Woo!!

"I tell you, there was this head, no body, just a scary head wooing and talking to me in that tree......Yes, Sally, sure just relax for a minute.....I think we need to lock her up....permanently!

@Natternet After watching this and getting to the ‘Mars Mechanics’ portion and hearing you specifically point out the song ‘Hair of the Dog’ I immediately opened Apple Music and checked it out.

I have a strong feeling you are going to get an interview with buckethead! Woo! You should ask him or one of his friends about if bucket meditates, im sure he does but i have always been curious.

Love these interviews you have been doing. The brain one was fantastic and this one with Extrakd is really good too. Maybe one day Bucket will want to give an interview, that would be a dream come true

I was like, who's that? So cool.
