He wears the bucket and mask to cope with anxiety. Not sure if its stage fright or agoraphobia but hes notoriously private and for many years no one even knew his name. He loves basketball and has several songs dedicated to Jordan and Lebron. He also has several songs dedicated to his mom and his aunt Suzie. One of his best is a nearly 30 minute ballad for his late mom called "Hold Me Forever". He hands out quirky toys at his shows and is known to play requested songs on the spot. He has over 300 studio albums of original compositions. A very humble man whos genius on the guitar is unmatched.

[@widowmaker7831]

His name is Brian Patrick Carrol and he idolizes Shawn Lane whom is probably the most talented guitarist to have ever lived RIP Shawn.

[@m_tal939]

Perfectly said

[@GreenDistantStar]

I'll add that by wearing a mask and being visually anonymous for decades, he achieves other things too. Like Japanese Kabuki, he removes his real appearance from the performance, it's all about the art. Plus, he doesn't have to worry about being mobbed due to fame. We likely wouldn't recognise him if we walked by him on the street, and that's the way he likes it. He may well be the best living electric guitarist on Earth.

[@cleangoblin2021]

I wonder if he has some sort of autism disorder.

[@PongGod]

His studio album count is well over 400 now. He's released 94 new studio albums just this year alone before the end of August. His quantity and quality of output is unparalleled.

This guy brings tears to my eyes, not only is he a great guitar player and played for a short while with Guns and Roses he's the most unique individual in the world in my opinion. Suffers from anxiety, stays as private as possible, never swears or curses, refuses big time contracts and chooses to play in these dive holes, hands out quirky gifts, lets others play his guitar, loves his mom and family more than anything and talks to big time managers through puppets while being a vantruiliquest, lol

[@laneykehel5057]

I've seen him live 22 times. He is 6'7, the greatest guitarist in the world, and he does knunchuks, robot dances, moonwalks, and gives out toys to people in the front row. I never miss an opportunity to see him live. His performances with Primus and with Les Claypool are awesome.

One of the finest guitarists to ever live. Utterly unique and gifted beyond measure.

[@mhlevy]

I read an interview from one of the editors of Guitar Player Magazine, and he has "sponsored" a number of young guitarists over the years, and Buckethead came and lived with his family for a time. The editor said that was a really kind person, who would spend hour after hour in his room, just playing his guitar, for 9 or 10 hours straight. He said that while he had a natural aptitude for playing guitar, the amount of time and effort he spent practicing and learning was mind blowing, and that's what really makes his playing so spectacular.

[@tackanderson4270]

I have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Bucket, I'm not sure if even those that like and follow him know all the work sessions and behind the scene work this guy has done. He's a monster player and if anyone argues that he doesn't belong with the top 10 of all time, then they really don't know him... Just a great guy and off the hook talent!

[@topfuelfan]

I agree. Big B is on a completely different level so far above and beyond any normal expectations that it's like witnessing a visitor from another universe. People don't understand, this is a lifetime of extreme dedication which has developed into what I would describe as the #1 guitarist / Artist of all time. All without a word spoken!

[@chriskarley384]

He is Easily top ten!!!👊👍

[@thomasnelson2463]

I'm 63, I always thought David Gilmour was the greatest guitar player ever, I never heard of Buckethead until a couple of weeks ago. After binge-watching him on the NatterNet channel since then, I am CERTAIN Buckhead is the greatest electric guitar player of all time! I think his "get up" is cool, some dudes get their faces all contorted while they play, Buckethead just rocks out without the distraction.

[@CriticalDispatches]

Listen to Shawn Lane, that guy will make you shit your pants.

[@at0micl0bster]

the true buckethead gold is in the pikes series (the patrolman is a great song that never really goes loud)

[@moze_-]

As a 25 y/o I can thank video games for a lot of my early music discovery. First heard Jordan on Guitar Hero II and it changed my world.

[@bazzingabomb]

Buckethead is a robot from a galaxy far far away, raised by chickens so he's gonna be a bit qurky but with nearly 600 hundred albums he is a music machine.

[@MaddyReactions]

Ooooooohhhh love the origin story

[@EdwardGregoryNYC]

The distant reaches of space have given us many of our greatest musicians from Buckethead to Ziggy Stardust, Peelander Z, Klaus Nomi, and Sun Ra.

[@Manbunmen65]

In reality he is from the earth and there isn't any life out there. If he doesn't repent he will end up in the center of the earth, it's called hell. It's not hard to see who he calls god it's in his album art.

[@trdog01]

@@Manbunmen65 Isn't any life out there? Really? I guess you don't subscribe to science. The universe is a very large place, we don't know what's out there. And apparently Buckethead is a very kind, thoughtful person coming from all those who know him. Geez, why such negativity? Just hatred I suppose...

[@wickedPrints3256]

So glad I subbed your channel! Buckethead is amazing! This is by far my favorite song by him. It's unreal how many songs he's written. It's truly unbelievable. He's written 3,191 songs. He was also hired by Guns n Roses during a tour. He is a super nice guy too. Always handing out toys and props at his shows. He has a super heart and he pours it all into his guitar playing. One of a kind.

[@josephwatkins1888]

Buckethead aka Brian Patrick Carroll currently is my favorite guitarist . Only discovered him three years ago via Pandora. There is a video of him unmasked . Seems to me he's shy, self conscious, can't sing and fortunately not like others won't torture us trying. I respect that. Also if he was standing in front of you at the grocery store line you wouldn't know who he is. Reminds me a little like Jim Morrison in looks.

[@JamesJones-i2v]

This gender thing is out of control. Them/they has to be the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. With that being said, Buckethethead is a male and the greatest guitarist to ever walk the Earth.

[@MaddyReactions]

lol just read the comments in my kd lang vid and you will understand why I said what I said this video. Lmao 😂

[@ivan.457]

5:42 you can just feel it how he was leaving his entire soul on this solo

[@BKDenied]

There's a reason there's extra emotion in this song. Soothsayer, was written for his aunt. The woman who bought him his first guitar. Who was dying of cancer, and did pass away. She got to hear this song before she went, a full studio recording and my favorite take of this song. So, there is a ton of emotion behind this song. Incredible song through and through. The story behind the song, and him being her soothsayer on her death bed and letting her know that she enabled a life he never could have imagined and allowed him to find his life's greatest passion. This song means literally everything to him.

[@charleslum2438]

Buckethead is Brian Carroll, a unique and talented individual with a little shy streak.

"Alter Ego".? Oh no Buckethead was raised by chickens, in the coop. The birds scratched him severely, so he covers his face behind a mask. He pays homage to his parents by wearing a KFC bucket atop his head. Buckethead is REAL! He also plays a damn mean guitar! Great Work Maddy!

[@richpeltier9519]

Buckethead is the ultimate enigma. Not because you can't see his face, or he never speaks, or there's 37 different and contradictory origin stories about him. Because no one should be able to play with that much technical ability AND passion. You get one or the other in those quantities, yet he checks off a 10 on each. Tied with David Gilmour as my favorite guitarists, because they are complete opposites in style. 🤘🧙‍♂️🤘 Rich the Ancient Metal Beast

[@Fermion.]

1:15 "Am I misgendering?" Nah, Buckethead is a dude. He's 6'6" and the size of his hands and long, slender fingers is one of the reasons he's able to play technical licks that many other guitarists are physically incapable of playing, regardless of talent.

Brian Carroll wears the mask because he goes to war when playing guitar. He sweats, he's completely blind in it, hard to breathe, difficult to concentrate It makes him the savant that he is Buckethead can play like any guitarist. He can play any riff of any song. But Noone can play the way buckethead does. He was a guitarist for guns and roses. If you find his audition tape, he is very young, and wearing a see through but hazy mask. His eyes and mannequin face reveal every expression a human could have in one short moment of time. It's chilling and he's playing a keyboard for it while guns and roses were in his bedroom His pike albums take you on a spiritual journey you never knew you'd need. It's life changing harmonics If you could bottle human consciousness and transfer the energy into a guitar... you would have buckethead.
