[@midwintersnight]

West of Arkham the hills rise wild, and there are valleys with deep woods that no axe has ever cut. There are dark narrow glens where the trees slope fantastically, and where thin brooklets trickle without ever having caught the glint of sunlight. On the gentler slopes there are farms, ancient and rocky, with squat, moss-coated cottages brooding eternally over old New England secrets in the lee of great ledges; but these are all vacant now, the wide chimneys crumbling and the shingled sides bulging perilously beneath low gambrel roofs.

NIghtWraith, I agree with Nikola K. And I'd add that there deep in those woods lay the spirit of HP Lovecraft listening to Buckethead & this tune.

He has some bad ones, the main problem is that they get repetitive after a while but I think that's mainly just because he has a certain style. I guess if you listened to hours and hours of Jimmy Page, it would start to get repetitive.

[@UnrealTech9403]

I think top 3 Buckethead song all time, maybe even the best. It's all of his unique qualities perfectly presented in one masterpiece. Tough to top it. The way it builds, crescendos, descends, and builds again in waves is like a really good Pink Floyd song.

[@levisavana]

Buckethead is by far the best guitarist that has ever lived. He is a God. I can listen to his music all day everyday and never get tired of it, as I do in fact listen to his music everyday at work. He has a song for every mood.

Impressive Buckethead is turning out to be a favorite

[@realworldmusicproductions6441]

Hey better late than never, he has well over 350 full albums released in roughly the past 25 years. Check out his original live video clips from his concerts he was performing out in the mid to late 90s for the band Praxis. He was very close with a great human being including, morally, intellectually, by far the best musician of the 21st century. His name was Shawn Lane. On the day he died was the day Buckethead posted a memorial for him mentioning that he was the best guitar player in history!! I was like wow!! If Buckethead is saying this I have to check him out. He died in the late 90s and I feel Buckethead is just these past 2 years is now officially st a higher ability

Tell that to Mozart.

[@getstraight234]

@@holliswilliams8426 do you not understand my comment? When people say quality over quantity that means if they are saying they'd rather have less if it's better than more if it's half good half trash. I'm saying Buckethead is giving us both quality and quantity. In other words he's giving us a lot of great music. I did not say that Mozart in anyway had bad music but thanks for reading in something that wasn't in the comment.
