Guns N' Roses - Buckethead Solo Boston 2002

[@albinronnback778]

Big Sur Moon is a masterpiece.

[@inst1tution]

Truly! Should be just a longer track!

[@jamesriver3745]

Axl should've never let him go. I love what Buckethead brought to the band, what he brought to the shows...the nunchuk thing was awesome. He is obviously skilled at them both for show and combat. His guitar solos are out of this world. Literally. Intergalactic sounding.

[@Rick88843]

Buckethead left on his own, Axl probably would have kept him in for a lot longer

[@chrisnizer5702]

He's better off performing on his own. Hard to stay anonymous in a band like that with all the touring, promotions, interview requests, photo shoots, etc etc etc. That's why he left Gun's and Rose's.

[@Vegatable]

He left cuz he was bored 😂

[@ursilkagaming]

buckethead is by far my favourite guitar player, but I like Slash alot more in guns n roses

[@nahiyanalamgir7056]

@@Vegatable Buckethead was indeed bored because Guns N' Roses at that time was in the worst shape ever in their history. They weren't having tours, album release was being delayed, etc. If he joined in 2006, he'd be having fun. Guns N' Roses gigs are intense (even though Buckethead has less to play) and this was probably the only access Bucket had to such a huge live audience. There is a huge difference between your guitar ringing in the entire stadium vs in a small hall room.

[@goodbrothermusic2740]

Axl's intro was pretty fucking cool. You can tell he really liked bucketheads style.

[@carlosbermudez4447]

before he talked lies about him haha

[@vikramshetty271]

It's cool Bucket played his own songs while touring with GnR too

[@Tiduspeco]

Despite what people think about him, based on his appearance, he seems like a really soft-hearted guy. I love that about him.

[@nahiyanalamgir7056]

He used to go to the Disney world with Axl Rose lol

[@marilyndee969]

He gives out a bag of toys at his shows. He is truly one of a kind. Toys; nunchukas; robot dances; and out of this world guitar playing.

[@HQRNY12]

Buckethead is the myth, the man, and the legend of 2020!!! The God of guitar...😎

[@JimmyPage455]

buckethead is a very talented guitarist hes got style in all different places. He's amazing at bass, hes got banjo style and metal style guitar playing

[@rocknjerr]

Possibly the greatest guitarist that ever lived, Buckethead. He is so far removed from GNR in this solo. Good for him. He probably took this gig so he could play to huge audiences.

[@orangenoise8350]

rocknjerr have you checked your Shawn lane? That dudes a beast

[@Rorshaq]

orangenoise such a beast he trained buckethead too

[@titanxsand2153]

Not possibly Brian Patrick Carroll IS the baddest most progressive complete guitarist to walk this earth.

[@goodbrothermusic2740]

He joined when axl got him a rare leatherface doll, so I think bucket being in GnR was genuine and for the love of music. Not for exposure/a cash grab.

[@NicholasNorway]

@Thomas Grey UMM NO

[@ksrhys-]

Bucketheads so enigmatic, so legendary, so mysterious, so amazing, so soulful... a fucking hero. it feels strange to say, but his music is so... descriptive...

[@DarenMcKelvey]

Went to this show; it was amazing!! Love Buckethead!

[@tweevo]

out of all of buckethead's solos like this, this is the best one ive heard so far

[@jawkneeG]

I remember being really excited and having hope for new GNR when Buckethead was in. I actually think chinese democracy was really good and under-appreciated. I wish Buckethead remained the sole lead guitarist.

[@wowokey]

then it would be a fight for the spotlight once more between axl and his lead guitar, thats why now axl put two to three average guitar players in the band

[@jawkneeG]

wowokey DJ Ashba is a beast guitar player. I wasn't a giant fan of Bumblefoot but he's pretty good too if you check his shit out. I don't think Axl intentionally tried to pick "average" players because that would ruin his band. If anything, he's a perfectionist kind of person so he would look for hard working and dedicated musicians. Better players = Better band = Better notoriety = Better Business = Better Life

[@jessecuster5877]

You don't realize what you have until it's gone..

[@Johnnysmithy24]

Having Big Sour Moon in a big concert is definitely more epic than small venues. That’s basically Buckethead’s “Eruption”

[@dogs3714]

buckethead es el dios de la guitarra y el baile del robot XDDD

[@Nips916]

wow that middle section was one of the most awsome melodic sounds I have heard in a while.

[@AdilKhan-hb9tq]

Lord Buckethead ❤

[@chrisnizer5702]

Got damn that guy is amazing! Played the frickin' wheels off that guitar 🎸 down to the bare rims. No doubt, Bucket is just on a whole 'nother level. Very cool to see him incorporate his "Toy Time" giveaways into a Gun's and Rose's concert.

[@bordertown]

Buckethead, the only guitarist other than Shawn Lane who is out of this world. Five stars!

[@Mrvicious999]

Guthrie and buckethead . Two real guitar prodigies.

[@cegp2009]

PERFECT SOLO!!!!!!!

[@GrimJerr]

I have a Mental Illness i can't get enough of the gloriuos sound of BUCKETHEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!! Buckethead runs the sound track machine in my head !!!!!!!!!! When I am Old and gray I want to waste my days away Getting loaded Really High and go to Bucketheadland in the sky !!! Thank You BUCKETHEAD !

[@Johnnysmithy24]

I’m surprised at how crazy the crowd got when Buckethead was introduced. It seems like most GNR fans just hate him. I wish he got that kind of love more often

[@Joncka]

The "Binge and Grab" solo always gives my the chills/goosebumps ^^ .

[@Johnnysmithy24]

It’s so happy too

[@spike427]

Buckethead and his num chucks! lmao and i love the way he dances! and HE'S ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE! HE'S AMAZING! THANKS FOR POSTING MAN!

[@Memetalman]

did u hear the part of big surmoon where it sounded like angels singing(4:11) wow that was again one of the greatest things ive ever heard from the greatest guitarist.

[@reydelmuerte]

This solo is super-special-awesome !!

[@lornithorinq]

best geek solo i ever heard!

[@majav15mg]

The delay part is gorgeous.

[@xhellabentx]

Buckethead live is a real treat and with gnr even better

[@zachos2]

Big sur moon is fun to play, you have to play in perfect timing cause you're using delay to bounce the notes and double time them. Cool shit.

[@FatPeaceman]

zachos2 the difficult thing is actually that the whole song is played with upstrokes ^^

[@francescospn]

this guy is a genius and is totally nuts!

[@kyled3096]

It's a shame he doesn't have that huge of an audience anymore,he does know how to put on a great show.

He's so dam good it's friggin scary man! I've never seen a guitar performance like it before.I don't understand why he would play in a cover band of GNR? $? probably but i mean that guy could have the pick of the crop with his talent! Watching this i forgot it was a GNR show to begin with,i was totally mezmorized by him!

[@jamesriver3745]

I don't care what anyone says, Buckethead would mop the floor with Slash.

[@gabriel.m6423]

technically yes but people love different guitarists for their style and buckethead and slash are 2 absolute legends but both equally as amazing due to their completely different styles. slash wrote some of the most groovy badass and iconic riffs and solos and buckethead is buckethead

[@wizardofahhhs759]

Buckethead, God's own personal guitar player.

[@CarbonTom666]

he was at musicians institute when he was 16 or something. i saw gilbert on g3 2 days ago, he played the same kind of repeating motif except with more of a melodic/arpeggiated approach. it was pretty sick

Buckethead and Slash are two different players and there is no "best", but it is a fact that Buckethead is better than Guns n Roses

[@CableReadyTechnoSIut]

Gabriel Wisniewski While there is no "best" in something subjective as music, there is such a thing as technical ability, and Buckethead could play circles around Slash, if there were some form of competition.

[@Tonebone721]

Gabriel Wisniewski too true and has more heart and soul

[@almsrgw]

CableReadyTechnoSIut true that, my favorute guitarist is buckethead.

[@JBOutboards]

Gabriel Wisniewski buckethead would shit down slash's throat. buckethead can play anything slash wrote. it would be comical to watch slash try to play bucketheads stuff.

[@모니카벨루치-r2j]

Beautiful buckethead❤

[@Joncka]

Too solve this once and for all; The guitar he uses is not a Gibson, Ibanez or Fender (I cant recall who posted the last one.). It's not a Gibson Flying V (check the headstock and volume/pickup selector.(The buttons).) It's an enlarged Jackson King-V. Buckethead wanted the guitar bigger. He said the standard ones looked like toys in his hands. And that's that! =)

[@aQ2223]

Great job on the video quality it sounds great

[@unicorngirl5863]

he doesn't look like a freak. he looks beautiful.

[@spanis]

thanks, been wondering for 11 years, just forgot about it for the last 10:-)

[@Joncka]

It's a Jackson Y2KV version of King-V. (The Dave Mustaine signature model). It differs from other King-V's in that it has rounded edges, like the ones on Gibson's Flying V.
