It was the solo for me♥️

[@OTG.XYZ123]

Buckethead gives me a good example as to how to be as a man

[@farshidkarimi6786]

His music is communication with stars. Cosmic, stellar

[@jamesmoes9712]

I have not listened to Buckethead in a while, My son died 8 years ago, and Buckethead music brought up so emotion I had to stop listeneing to it. Thank you Bucket.. I love this man. And I love you to

[@buckRRR]

Sorry for your loss brother ,May his soul rest in eternal peace, aameen

[@robertmarinmk938]

🎁 He just keep gifting and gifting . Thank you for taking care of us 🎁

The amount of good quality music this man has been putting out lately is fucking unprecedented!

[@theherbpuffer]

Lately as in the last 30 years

[@dogmachine2406]

this one lives very close to the top of the pile!

[@salvaariv2943]

In the human race there have been beings that seem to be clearly connected to higher dimensions. Some of them have been great spiritual teachers, others have been great scientists, other great thinkers, other great leaders, and others have belonged to the field of the arts. And I have no doubt that Buckethead is one of those beings. Musical creations like this pike no longer sound like something from this dimension, it already sounds like something from a higher dimension. In fact, these sounds are like a balm for the souls that feel somewhat lost in this reality. Thank God for Buckethead

[@theherbpuffer]

Well said👏 I sometimes wonder if it's really a human being playing. Sounds like a machine quite honestly.

[@farshidkarimi6786]

totally agree

[@francescorpione]

I agree This is like an higherpower's melody Thanks

[@cohenburnett1011]

What if C-A-T really spelled "Dog"?

[@grahamkennerly5963]

For crying out loud, what a solo that is. I might have said it before but he must have gone round a couple of dozen times when they were handing out world class talent. I don't recall getting any!! NN - are you nocturnal? You must be up half the night waiting for these things to come out. Glad you do as you've opened up a world of wonders for many new fans.

[@mozambique7930]

Every one of the Pikes lately have all been better than each of the last!!! The last song WAS INSANE!!!!! His fret work is so fast, crisp, and more precise than ever than before!!! " Age is only making the master grater"

[@farshidkarimi6786]

Like wine, he gets better with age

[@theherbpuffer]

​@farshidkarimi6786 you can only be so old and play at this level though. I give Big B a good 10 more years of playing at this level

[@nikkihodges5792]

Our Buckethead has not yet attained age

[@Cruusher]

I don't know of anyone who can define a series of notes in such a manner, sentient, he is painting a picture , each so unique . Buckethead never runs out of canvas. The solo itself again extraordinary. And all done surrounding a simple 3 chord progression- when he records, I bet no one is even in the room or even in the house but him. " A sight it would be... 'just to catch a glimpse of him while in process/recording'

[@ianmcck304]

Man I feel like hes SOMEHOW reached an even higher level, sure hes had crazy output before but somethings different these have extra sauce each one of say the last 20 have been so great. I feel proud of him an our fandom from these recent releases, I mean these are some of the best of his catalog these are phenomenonal

[@theherbpuffer]

Damn straight. I mean if you have good car speakers just cruise the city and blast Buckethead. Peoples reactions says it all. Pedestrians really seem to like this one

[@dbjmk8083]

Guitar is super interesting, Steve Vai says he's barely tapped into guitars potential so guys like Buckethead, Vai, Gilbert, Govan etc should come up with some interesting ideas over the next couple decades.

[@MalcolmTroon]

I am thankful to be on this journey with you Buckethead.

[@laserus3333]

Total masterful solo shredding.Its like a wonderful natural anti-depressant.

[@theherbpuffer]

Great way to put it, I feel the same when Listening to Buckethead. It literally medicates me; instantly relieves any stress and worries I may be having at the moment

[@konbounma7857]

Was in the zone from start to finish. The build up was amazing, enjoyed the craft of a real musician. WOW What an ending.

[@williamleckrone1628]

He amazes me many times over but this time I don't know I've got no words for once, I'm totally speechless here at 2AM Friday night and sober just chilling at my kitchen table with my dog Petey enjoying a totally deserved MUSIC NIGHT 4 a relaxing Re-Boot of myself😊

[@brianbellucci9284]

Couldn't agree more. Completely speechless and blow away. My face just melted off and I have tears in my eyes from how powerful his emotions translate into his music, god bless this man! Thanks B 🙏🙏🙏

[@MsAudiomatic]

Amén!!!

[@mozambique7930]

I was doing the dishes in the kitchen saying the same thing!!! I had to stop doing what i was doing numerous times to really pay attention to especially the last song and was just speechless in like a trance of how good this is...

[@theherbpuffer]

I discovered this pike in the shower. Needless to say it turned a 10 minute shower into almost an hour one because I had to run this solo back a couple times

[@chrisweidner4768]

Pike 540. Trying to get my head around that. Greatest body of work. Unsurpassed mastery of tone, mood and sheer guitar brilliance.

[@jacobh4056]

When bucket starts painting stars, you know itl be a fire pike. Omg this is great

Really nice. Bucket must use highly controlled breathing to work through this.

[@theherbpuffer]

He's not getting younger either. Probably has a good 10 years left of being able to play at this level

[@hightreestess]

His sound waves are Communicating Through the Stars for sure but I think he also astral travels himself & is a pro at it. 🌠

[@sav7045]

Yes Buckethead!!! A LIGHT DURING THESE DARK TIMES!!!!

A beacon spilling bright light around to keep darkness of our times at bay.

Why do you think these are dark times? How dark can times be when you can listen to Buckethead's music? You are in a good spot! Do people in north korea listen to Buckethead? How was life in the middle ages? You get the message? You complain on a high note!

[@bens4295]

In a world consumed by eerie gloom, Guitarist Buckethead takes the stage to loom, With his guitar, a weapon of sonic might, He battles zombies in the dead of night. Fingers dance upon the strings so deft, A symphony of solos, a sonic breath, Zombies groan, but no match they stand, Against his melodies, a weapon so grand. Notes like lightning, slashing through the air, Zombies fall, ensnared in musical snare, Buckethead's riffs, a fierce cascade, Each strum a strike, a zombie's fate displayed. With every chord, a victorious shout, He plays the battle, a metal-fueled rout, Guitar strings hum, a victorious tune, Buckethead prevails 'neath the blood-red moon.

I keep coming back to this one. One of his best pikes ever if you ask me

[@liamdohertyj]

fr it’s up there for me

[@michaelmatteo4804]

The man is just amazing - I love the way he builds and expands on ideas from one pike to another. This is the way music should be released, use the internet, home recordings and bypass the music industry. Artistry for the sake of artistry, ideas and expressions for the sake of musical humanity and hopefully Buckethead is making a living via the sales of Pikes and advertising clicks.

[@Yuki_Hyodo]

I've only just become a Bucket fan, so I can't say I know how to do it. It's like riding a train with no end, but I don't feel fear. Rather, I want to ride it all the time... Bucket, who makes me think so, is a terrifyingly wonderful guitarist.

[@hightreestess]

Welcome aboard young Bucketbot learner! 🎉 This is the best train to be on! ❤ 🪣🤖🚂🛤🌌🌠🌙

[@light9623]

Its great, isn't it? Enjoy the ride. I know I have.

[@PongGod]

It's a never-ending journey and there's nothing like it!

[@Magico.020]

It's been 13 years for me, and he keeps surprising me with such pikes, it's a never ending ride

[@andrewpardue3324]

That’s actually a good description, I liked it 😊 I am also on that train in Bucketheadland speeding off into the night , for well over 10 years now and I will never get off ! Nor do I ever want to 😄 I listen to his music everyday without fail. It has been and continually is…. the Greatest Ride Ever. He’s been cranking out the Pikes at full rampage pace and I love it ! Because I can’t get enough even though I’m always digging around through all of them especially older ones that I may have missed. Always finding gems all over through the many years and hundreds of pikes and other projects. So much material it’s unbelievable! Yet there is the proof! Quite a ways back it kinda became my own personal life’s soundtrack! 😄 life has almost always been good except a few times that were fairly brutal… I’ve gotta say that things have just been much better ever since discovering Buckethead’s solo material in the Pikes series many years ago! I will never be bored ever again. I always have incredible music for any occasion or anything I could ever be feeling or going through, good or bad. His playing can take bad or hard to deal with things and somehow make them good or even just easier to deal with being in a better frame of mind to get past or through it. It’s made me look at my guitar playing ( of 38 years ) and even my life ( I’m now 52) in whole new ways that I just couldn’t seem to see before. It has also gotten me through a few of the hardest things I’ve ever dealt with in the past few years. It gives my mind an incredible and beautiful place to go at anytime. It just makes life more complete in a really good way when your mind always has a place like that , where stress and bad things don’t exist. Music has always done this for me even as a young kid but with Buckethead it’s an entirely new level. 🤟🏻🤖🪣🎸👑

[@chiefshep5885]

I dare say this is one of the best pikes ever, sooooooo awesome! Long live Big B, woo!

[@theherbpuffer]

I blast BH in my car doing gig work. I love the reactions from people, its like a ufo has landed. Some even ask who it is playing at a red light. Thats how good Buckethead is..

[@andrewpardue3324]

I have also had that happen about 10 times now 😄 usually their face is like …😮What in the hell was that? I’ve never heard anything like that before… It’s Amazing! it’s always a great treat to a Buckethead fan, watching someone’s first reaction to what he can do with a guitar for the first time! 😊 Always makes me smile and I’m more than happy to tell them all about him and point them in the direction of a few pikes that they will love right away just to get the ball rolling! 😊

[@ythinder]

Communicating through the stars? Buckethead is FROM the stars. Will be listening to this one with a few beers and the fire on while gazing at the stars this summer 🎸🔥

[@_Buckethead_]

I recently learned about the work of Buckethead, Man cosmos. How I used to live without this world and without this music. It's unrealistic, there simply aren't any. There is only a Buckethead! Health, success to you and be with us always🔥🎸👑🎸🔥 Я недавно узнал о творчестве Бакетхеда, человек космос🦾💪. Как я раньше жил без этого мира и без этой музыки. Это нереально, таких просто нет. Есть лишь Бакетхед! Здоровья, успехов тебе и будь с нами всегда🔥🎸👑🎸🔥

Nice hearing B doing impossible solos again.

[@anthonyholliday1718]

The solo is other worldly...

[@tonybarber420]

Fuck yea thats my boy, buck! Way to channel everything youve been going through and working it out. For me its like finally BH has come to a place internally where he is at peace cause you can clearly hear it in his phrasing and passages with those nubs of fury! One thing though we gotta get a tremolo bar in his hands again and throw down some lane style bar work. MAN IVE MISSED YOU BUCKETHEAD 👏👏🤌🤌🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

Love the title to this song. If anything can communicate through the stars, it is music as it comes from the stars and beyond. Max Heindel does a lecture that includes a small excerpt on musicians and talented painters and how people like Bucket bring their talents with them to share with others to inspire, to incite and entice artistic and mental activity. Love me some Bucket everyday!

I think this one makes for some great background music for someone who is not yet a fan, especially the first 15 minutes before he turns up on the solo.
