[@Texasscout96]

Bucket is just a weird dude. I saw him play live and his live show was a trip. About 2/3 of the way through the show he brought out a bag and started handing out items from the bag to the audience. The items included a DVD of a lit fireplace, random action figures and other items that just made no sense as a rock concert souvenir. That said, I am so happy I got to see him play live. It was definitely worth it!!

[@NatterNet]

Oh cool, man! Yeah Bucket likes to hand out gifts at his shows and receive gifts too. There's a rumour that those gifts are possessions of his victims and that he's getting rid of evidence by giving them away to fans haha Awesome that you saw him live, definitely an amazing experience.

[@tyirvin4711]

He just loves his fans. He likes to hand stuff out to his fans. I heard he's a really generous guitar player. He likes to meet his fans and receive stuff from em. I'd love to see him live sometime but he's into music for musics sake. He charges $2 for an album lol while everyone else charges out the tail. He's a nice guy. He's mentioned in an interview bout he needs prayers for health issues so tbh I think he's a Christian.

is that what it took for you to think he was weird? started for me when i first saw him

He evolved after HS. I was a senior at Damien when Brian Carrol was a sophmore. Didn't know him as an evolving guitarist at the time. I can say that I remember his father Tom (aka "Coach Carrol"). Coach Carrol taught PE during the school day ... Funny memory, I always remember him for telling us freshmen to keep the locker room simple, that we dont need to bring 3 different soaps and deoderants in for different body parts (omitting the graphical demonstration that made it funny). Coach Carrol was a great guy.

[@loganstroganoff1284]

[@kevinismawayoflife4660]

This reminds me of when I was a kid and everybody was obsessed with finding out who the guys from KISS were. We didn’t have the internets back in those days, so we had to buy the magazines to see grainy photographs. It’s pretty amazing this guy has been able to stay masked in this modern era

[@jrusovich]

Kiss is a great example of another act that hid behind makeup/masks/costumes way back in the days before the Internet...but it was part of their act. The mystery of who they were sold tickets. In this case, it's about someone who doesn't want to be known at all, just listened to, and there is nothing wrong with that. He's a remarkable player.

[@azrabain8210]

I truly believe if KISS would have never unmasked they would be more popular today then they are now. I’m happy Buckethead has chosen to keep his identity a secret for the same reason. Buckethead is a genius in so many ways and I hope he never unmasks. He inspires me and his musical skills are second to none. I’ve never seen him in concert but if I could only watch one more live concert in my life it would without a second thought be Buckethead. Please! Please! Please!

Strangely enough we shared a passion about Fishing and talked about that most the time. All of them are are beyond Masters of there craft. My band at the time was played Fuson Jazz/Metal with some quirky shit mixed in. We were young locals and opened for alot of Well known bands. Eugene and Portland in Oregon are such "weird" citys that alot it attracts alot of creatives. Well known bands would come and play at our smallish venues all the time for the love of it. The Wow Hall where we opened for them can maybe hold 300-400 people. Opeth, The Faceless, Mudvayne, Devin Townsend, Mr Bungle, Secret Chiefs 3, Estratosphere, Morbid Angel, Sepultura, Slayer, etc.)and that just a small part of the musical spectrum/genre. It was mind blowing being able to have, meet, and/or open as locals for these world renown Artists that come play at our small local dive bar style venues.

Great video. I have only one comment and it's more just an elaboration of what you were eluding to at the end. I feel like Buckethead is more than just the music. He's found his way to express himself to make himself happy and able to share it with others. All the while hiding his personal life and social life. It's literally nobody's business even though we care about him and love him. He says more without words than all the other "outspoken" artists that are the head of popular culture. Our society is constructed to distract us on a daily basis with pretentiously crafting perfectly designed forms of 'popular art'. All of which are there to create a feeling of the need for consumerism. Thanks for sharing the vid. Love from Canada :)

[@Poopio]

It's a bummer KZbin muted the last minute of the video :( It was a n incredibly well made and informative watch! Thank you!

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend. And yes, agreed, a bummer!

[@lulumoon6942]

What was on it?

great mini-documentary...thanks for clarifying a lot of rumors...

Buckethead

[@juweee_yt]

Well I thought it was just a clickbait, but It's actually a well-made video to convince me that Buckethead is hundred percent human and not an alien or anything. Thumbs up for you Guys 👍

[@NatterNet]

Thankyou my brother, much appreciated.

[@dinab7852]

I ❤Buckethead. He is a beautiful weird/unique, extremely talented & modest human being.

[@anautumnforcrippledchildre8369]

Long live Buckethead... the greatest human to ever pick up a guitar

[@NatterNet]

Yes!!...Actually we didn't confirm he's human, the jury is still out haha

[@anautumnforcrippledchildre8369]

You're right... he could easily be from another planet

[@NatterNet]

Dare I say its probably called Bucketheadland

[@anautumnforcrippledchildre8369]

So that's where Bucket came up with the name of his debut album and amusement park... it's named after his home planet haha

[@NatterNet]

Haha we might be in trouble for just mentioning it now...it's top secret 👮

[@trishink6246]

I LOVE BUCKETHEAD FOREVER💟 SOY DE ARGENTINA Y LO AMO POR SIEMPRE

[@renzo4296]

I'm sure he doesn't want to be famous and be hounded with endless interviews, endless photo shoots and everything else that comes with being a star, he just wants to play what he loves and live in obscurity.

[@chriskenner600]

I grew up in Claremont California. I've been around musicians from Claremont for over 30yrs. How come I haven't seen him? Damn. I've got to talk to a musician/ reporter friend and research this. Great info!✌

[@macymayo4849]

Im glad i watched this because for years i thought he was that tall guitar player from France, easy to see why too. Must be weird and annoying having so many people tell you you're Buckethead when you're not.

[@Hintz6]

Fantastic video, thanks for putting this together! It's amazing how long Buckethead has been around and well-organized, consolidated research is only being released in 2018. Cheers.

[@NatterNet]

Thankyou my friend, that's really appreciated.

[@mrwoodmen15]

Smart guy he let’s the guitar do all the talking, and doesn’t have to deal with the paparazzi.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

I remember reading Guitar Player magazine back in the 1980's, and in the 'Upcoming Talent' section was a picture of Buckethead as and unmasked teen ( as shown in this video ), and I realized it was him 20 years later.

[@imaouima]

Yeah, I remember the long pinkie.

[@Boneamps]

I had no idea about that coming alive interview! Thanks for this video, I just realized that exists and I will give it a listen right away!!

[@stecal2004]

Yeah, I only discovered it yesterday. I've been through a few years not listening to buckethead and during this lock down I've rediscovered him and a wealth of new stuff that is some of his best work. The guy can make a guitar touch your soul, absolutely amazing. Listening to the podcast in the car I could feel a lump in my throat when he talked about losing his parents.

[@alainlalonde]

6:36 - Two of my favorite songs. I tear up every time. Especially "Watching the boats with my Dad. But, that said, both are stunning.

[@ckelley63]

I've talked to Bucketheads cousin. Michael Meyers! He put it all in perspective.

[@stuartcookie133]

My Girlfriends name is Carol and she plays the guitar but is known as "Bucketass". Pics to come.

[@NatterNet]

Thankyou friend, much appreciated

[@anniedarkhorse6791]

Nice-looking guy. It would be nice to actually see his face while he's playing. Being a musical introvert, I fully understand why he would like/need to wear a mask. I hope he has a happy life. So talented.

[@TruthSurge]

? 7:37 plus the vein is even visible in that clip. Yeah, that's him. He's playing shred licks that really don't sound that musical. it's him.

[@NervousYoungInhuman]

Underrated video right here. Lots of time and effort went into it.

[@NatterNet]

Thankyou!!..and couldn't agree more, the man is phenomenal..if he is indeed a man and not an alien

[@kevinbahri5251]

Believe it or not Bucket’s father and brother were my coaches at my first high school. Tom Carroll is a legend at Damien!

[@TalaR04]

Woah you lucky

[@asianzeusecannon5880]

Hes a underrated player.the real players knows his skills n the level that he brings to his shows.Just a amazing player n style.He wanted to be different n show the world.

[@chicagoray1972]

This is some great detective work. I have heard theories before but this pretty much is a slam dunk.

[@farrdawgjoker7087]

Great video, it's shows that family is at the core of a very talented man. But he is always Buckedhead to me until he tells us different because the music comes first.

[@Conflikt420]

Lmao that must have been hilarious when ozzy told him to lose the bucket and came back and found him with the green thing on his head I would have lost it

[@NatterNet]

Haha yes!!

[@Thulgore]

People laugh at the story, to me it proves that Ozzy is only about himself and not the music. He really doesn't want anyone else on stage with himself. He also doesn't have much in the way of skills. He's good at what he does....../did....but what skill is that?

[@armyofninjas9055]

@@Thulgore Organizational skill. Dude has more success in his ass hair than you.

@@Thulgore holy flippin poop! That is the most upside down and backwards bunch of ridiculous nonsense that I have ever heard! My fricken right eye is twitching uncontrollably at the thought of such blasphemous down right lies!!!! You obviously must be on the dope to make such incorrect claims as that!

[@lylesommers6243]

just think the world is some 4 billion years old and somehow we managed to exist at the same time as Buckethead.

[@gitarmats]

Used to listen to Buckethead constantly so this video was a nice little nostalgia trip.

[@marcelogaea1064]

Matters not what he looks like, but rather what comes out of his beautiful mind to share with us. Thanks for post. I think it’s spot on ( I do have that issue of GFTPM, btw =)

[@freedom2084]

Thanks for the video. He probably looks like an average tall thin white guy in his 40’s with or without long hair

[@NatterNet]

Our pleasure! Yes, I think the mystery has grown so much that people think that if he took that mask off now that there would be some kind of 3 eyed demon under there....but nope, just a normal looking dude with an abnormal amount of talent

[@lebavu8260]

Just imagine walking down the street and seeing this guy not knowing what a legend he is

[@eilampniel2962]

epic video man great job !

[@NatterNet]

Thankyou my friend, we appreciate the positivity!

[@dashriprok5852]

Thank you natter net for all the great music.!

[@D6EH]

He’s clearly an amazing guy. All that talent that he’s still comfortable leaving behind the mask and relative anonymity. we need more people that bring talent to the world, yet remain humble. His parents are obviously smiling down from heaven.

[@MrJuniorsgv13]

My wife worked at Damien in San Dimas as a tuition manager. he went to school there.. Bucket head. she didnt realize her student was going to be a artists. also Mark Mcguire (baseball)went there as well.

[@camgood2437]

There's no way that the guy at 7:00 is not Buckethead. I've listened to literally every song he's recorded (and there are a lot lol), and there's no one who can replicate his sound that well (and it would be too big of a coincidence, even if they could)..

[@NatterNet]

Yeah it looks pretty good to me. The way that right hand bends at the wrist...and "the vein" albeit, slightly blurry and hard to see.

[@chrish931]

I mean yes its him. I mean he has never hidden anything but his face, he has said who is in multiple interviews and people who know him have said he is Brian Carrol, the mystery was started early on when he played with GnR and people wanted to speculate that he was really some famous guitarist playing under a hidden alter-ego. I think the bucket was just some kind of weird angle he came up with early on and it had the added benefit once he became well known of allowing himself to have a normal life without having to have people coming up to him all the time asking for autographs and shit.

[@Bdevonhewitt]

Ive thought about Bucket and what most people think is a gimmick, but he said in his interview that he has always been an introvert. Because he is very shy most think the mask and bucket allow the real Brian Carroll to come out. Bucket said this is not true, the mask and bucket allow Buckethead to come out on stage. Buckethead is as much a part of himself as Brian Carroll is. Not only that but if you delve even deeper the Buckethead character is a brilliant marketing angle. All rockers age some not so well. It doesnt matter to Buckethead, because he has a mask and an onstage persona that does not age. He can do this as long as he wants to present the Buckethead persona and his body holds up. Im not sure if Bucket thought this through on a conscious level but if he did it was genius on his part. In an case he is a prolific composer, brilliant musician and appears to be an even better person. Long live Bucket...cheers

[@klkdude]

Dev Uit bucket head was a spin on slash and the bucket he wore on his head, nothing more

[@popoguy7287]

klkdude he’s said in an interview that the mask and bucket allow him to perform without getting an anxiety attack or stage fright

[@thomasnelson2463]

One month ago, I had never heard of Buckethead, now he is my favorite guitar player by A LOT! Double Live Gonzo was super-glued to my turn table in the 70's, Eddie VanHalen was great, but move over David Gilmour, Buckethead is my new personal favorite pick as the G.O.A.T.! (I saw Ted Nugent and Pink Floyd LIVE!)

[@Uglysub5]

There's a lot of love and passion in this video. I can see that. Thanks again.

[@NatterNet]

Woo!! Thank you.

[@mattjohnson1775]

Buckethead is Badass!! Much Respect!!!!

[@acepaul407]

Aside from the antics and weirdness his guitar playing is totally off the charts. He has taken guitar playing to the next level.

[@LexCinnabon]

Buckethead was the best thing to happen to Guns N' Roses. I do hope we get to hear more of what Bucket recorded with them on a future album. Very nice video here.

[@NatterNet]

Thankyou, friend. And agreed without Buckethead on the Chinese album that thing would of sounded a flat mess.

[@lawrencefeldman7744]

Also,Tommy Stinson. Bassist, guitarist,singer songwriter anchored the Replacements not fazed by rockstar behaviors at all.

[@nicem8746]

I relate I was shy and introverted, had a hard time leaving the house even as a kid. Still feel weird a lot and I’m 44 now but able to manage it a little better but still get that rushing in the ears, pounding heartbeat, and sweaty palms
