BUCKETHEAD

[@jbuell311]

This truly never gets old. Please never take this down. This is one of the main videos that introduced me to BH. Thank you for that.

[@Maruragakari]

It's been up 10 years at this stage. If he was gonna take it down; I think he'd have done it already.

[@jbuell311]

+Maruragakari Hopefully

[@BalloonCement]

Amen to that, brother. Same story here!

[@vizdotnu]

I come here to listen to this every couple weeks or so, get super inspired to play, go grab my guitar, practice with the dream of someday being able to play it.

[@RatSausages]

Just download it like I did :)

[@jacobowen32]

There's a radio interview of him and he talks in his normal voice and he really talks about a lot. He said he has heart problems and how he wants to open an amusement park for people to go to enjoy like they did his music and he talked about his parents and how his mothers' death afftected him a lot. I forgot who conducted it, but he's a really, really pure hearted person. Pray for that man

[@quantumcrash7266]

He's a very pure hearted person. The soul-stirring beauty in his music is a true reflection of the beautiful human being that created it. His music communicates something from one soul to another....it's true, pure, real. I felt it had to come from a pure hearted person, and the interview confirmed it 100%.

[@jacobowen32]

@@quantumcrash7266 Truly one of a kind. And to keep his anonymity and make music with no profit involved in it all is something to respect. Especially in regards to his skills when he plays. He plays his heart out and its felt (and the chicken army from all them KFC buckets lol) What a time to be alive to hear heartfelt music like this 🖤🤘

[@AxiomApe]

[@fernandogil2468]

Joe Casson that is the beauty of music brotherman every one can interpret it differently and it can also bring different feelings to all, just my humble opinion

[@DDRMR]

2:45 makes me fucking cry every time

[@igotboomed]

Reading this and listening near made me lol

[@JerichoJosh1]

The whole song is incredible, but from 2:45 onwards it's godly.

[@bautistagarais488]

Not only he created hundreds of great songs, but also each live version of them has something unique, a different touch. The big bucket is a creative genius like no other.

[@Mr-qt4xr]

One of his best performances ever right here. The best guitarist alive at the moment for sure.

[@Reviise123]

try modern day technical death metal. it's amazing how much these people can shred on the guitar

[@tyleigh4309]

the crowd has no clue how epic that solo was/is one of the best of all time its everything a solo should be, melodic, coherent and climatic! totally expressive and fits the song perfectly

[@Malc180s]

Shit solo

[@danielturner8781]

Malc180s are you def?

[@antonzandt159]

Absolutely. The solo is a real statement.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

you're simply delusional

[@jeffreytackett3922]

The crowd doesn't know? You know, from watching a youtube video, but the people who were actually there don't know? How's that?

[@TheBoone57]

I listen/watch to his man every day now. To me, he comes a cross like a horribly misunderstood phantom, who's only way to show emotion is through his hands from which it pours like a fountain roaring down a mountain.

[@jorisboulet3619]

20y since I could play to wild amounts of coincidence

[@JerryWhite-ee5hy]

[@henrynevins1]

This is the best Buckethead version of this song.

[@tonyjesuslover]

By far. I think exactly the same.

[@1ZosoLZ]

That made no sense..lmao

[@timmoody62]

Can’t seem to buy this version nowhere

[@coolramone]

One of my faves.

[@garyillescas5280]

but, what is the name of the song?

[@BPatient1]

Still my favorite solo of all time. Every note is heart-felt and exactly where it needs to be. Not a single one too many. True perfection.

[@andrewdesanto3401]

I remember a long time ago a youtuber talked about buckethead and I was really into music but I never looked him up. A few years later I looked him up at night while I was in my bed and clicked on this song. I must have listened to it about 20 times before I went to sleep. In my opinion, buckethead outshines every guitar player I have ever heard of.

[@xNecropolisx100]

One guitar. One bass. One drummer. Simplicity at it finest. Goes to show how beautiful straightforward bass-line's and drums can be when combined with superior guitar writing.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

In the mid "80's I saw an article about Buckethead in 'Guitar Player' magazine in the 'upcoming talent' section. I didn't know it was him ( I couldn't have at the time as he wasn't known as Buckethead then ), he was some young guy named Brian Carroll. Almost 30 years later I saw the same column on the internet after searching for 'Buckethead without mask'.

I saw this video 8 years ago and it was the first time I had ever heard of Buckethead, this video changed my life man, since I saw this, ive not found a musician I admire more.

[@ginobrody7269]

2007 I watched this video and the next day I went out and purchased a guitar. Every now and then I come back and listen and become just as inspired.

[@FatPeaceman]

Wow, nice !

[@laughingkars889]

I only discovered Buckethead 3 days ago.....I got my guitar today. I might never ever even approach 1/100th of his level but it's beautiful and I'm going to try

[@Pumpkinhead2400]

same brotha. got a few covers on my channel lol

[@caelenselke-minogue]

Same bro. I mean, not the next day, but I watched the Soothsayer at the Gothic Theatre and just thought, "I want to play guitar, I want to create those beautiful, hair-raising melodies with my own hands." I'd been attracted to playing guitar after getting into King Crimson and Robert Fripp's crazy, eclectic style but it didn't make me want to learn guitar then and there, because it while it was cool, it didn't have that raw emotion.

[@almostgifted]

Play this at my funeral.

[@dylanlangston6668]

Legends never die

[@donahuge]

I never had a close relationship with my brother. At one of our few high points, we were in a car, smoking weed, listening to The Who - Behind Blue Eyes. He told me "Play this song at my funeral". I did.

[@Johnnysmithy24]

@@donahuge Oof

[@Slurvify]

atleast that song is easier to play than this one

[@thomasbennett9155]

I'm echoing many comments here....this was the very first exposure to Bucket 12 years ago. I came back from a party, was mildly buzzed. My wife went to bed, and I wasn't ready to sleep so I did what I often do, put some headphones on, and did the random music search. Found this youtube by accident. The song literally gave me chicken skin 10 seconds in, I could almost not believe it was real. I must have played it 30 times straight through. "Came to" with my wife snapping her fingers in front of my face....like WTF ;) Still not tired of it. I think it's the best version of Whitewash ever (the second being the one with the Deli Creeps) and easily one of the top 5 of all. Just so pure. Something about the grainy video and the shaky camera makes it even better.

[@juggy2112]

This is the deli creeps lmao, Deli Creeps @ San Jose 2003

[@organicholas5531]

In this video the audience is super humbling too... a precious moment in time recorded for all...

[@viktormedina4631]

This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard in my life. It is so simple, yet so technical but without loosing the "feel". When he decides to let his finger go, the feeling does not go away. It is one of the few guitar players out there who can play like that.

[@TihomirPetrovv]

One of the most beautiful emotional songs. It touch my heart.

[@focusaddiction3460]

I wish there was a better quality of this video/song, exactly like this one, since this is incredibly better than the studio version.

Yo are damn right!

[@AxiomApe]

He is truly one of the greatest musicians of all time. Some would even say that he’s the goat of guitar. He would disagree and say it’s Shawn Lane. What an amazing man (alien, robot ?? 😎)

[@guymankiker5661]

Jordan is a song he wrote just for guitar hero

[@JerichoJosh1]

Every note was the perfect note at the time for the entire length of the song. He made his guitar sing each note too. Not a single note was off-putting. Perfection.

[@Ascertivus]

My father showed me this exact video many times when I was young. If I played this for him now, he'd still think it was the coolest guitar video in the world. I'm so glad that it's still up on KZbin. Thank you for having it here.

[@williamkoscielniak820]

I've been listening to a lot of Guitar "Gods" lately, such as Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani, etc. and thus far Buckethead is emerging as my favorite by quite a bit. I've known of him for a long time since he played in Guns N Roses for a while but I've never really checked out his solo stuff. His style is really unique. He plays with both emotion and ingenuity.

In an odd way it seems fitting that the recording of this specific performance, while unprofessional with inferior audio and video traits, is far more than adequate to capture with deep timeprint our affection and admiration. We heard it well enough and saw what we wanted to see and nothing of what we don't want to see. Right place right time lucky thing serendipity to bestow this gem.
