And he's done over 300 albums. And he's invented 4 additional tapping techniques. And designed guitars. And at 6'7" hes the same height as Arjen Lucassen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfYfn6ap9-Dp7c And Arjen seldom goes on stage. But everyone else plays his music.

[@MusicissuperiorEVHROX316]

[@TheBombo777]

This guy is so cool. We all know that "Buckethead doesn't speak." So he finds great ways to engage with his fans - like this; handing out toys and doing cool non-musical performance-art type things. I really, really admire and respect this guy. Watch how gentle he is tossing the toys out into the audience. I think there were some kids there and he made certain that they received some special toys. What a unique talent this guy is. I can't get enough Buckethead.

[@ElevenDollarCheese]

Noticed that too. He didn't fling them out like an asshole. Almost dropped them, and there were quite a few, as if he was concerned some people wouldn't get one.

[@fd8540]

I love him.

[@MusicissuperiorEVHROX316]

Buckethead’s a fascinating artist, and his shows are genuinely one of a kind. He is also great at engaging with the audience considering he doesn’t say a word.

[@P00P0STER0US]

Well, I've never seen someone called off stage for time. That was awkward, you'd expect them to have a blinking red light or something. Only discovered this guy yesterday and already I know you don't interrupt Soothsayer.

[@XSDarkMoonZX]

It seemed like part of the show, I thought... Like this dude is leading his little toy robot guitarist around. I dunno...

[@MilwaukeeF40C]

Typical city park festival crap.

[@NefastusJones]

Bucket head can only play a finite number of notes per night. He was approaching his nightly limit, so Guthrie came out and stopped him from going over.

[@MusicissuperiorEVHROX316]

@@MilwaukeeF40C I don’t think he really cares. Buckethead often starts shows late and plays for way longer than he’s supposed to, once he literally didn’t stop playing until his high E string broke, so he just put his guitar down, waved goodnight and came offstage.

[@xthecrow]

He gave me a mask and a dinosuar toy. The best concert I've ever been too! Thanks for posting the video

[@adolpholiverbush2]

"Nobody cared about me until I put on the mask." - Bane I respect his talent, his creativity, and his music. Those of you who like Buckethead, dig a little deeper and see where some of his ideas came from - Shawn Lane. Even Buckethead will tell you this.

[@idonteatcheetos]

RIP Shawn Lane

[@GeorgeBonez]

Adolph Oliver Bush I too wear a mask every damn day so I heavily identify with Bucket as I also need NO personal recognition or approval from anyone. I am grotesquely imperfect yet unique to a level of divinity that many just cannot see but all that matters is that "I" understand what makes me, ME! Life is just to short and I refuse to deprive the world of my existence but at the same time I will not force myself upon it.

[@adolpholiverbush2]

[@RByrne]

Same! I never even knew who he was until a few years back when I saw someone joking about him on a late night show. I didn't even know about him playing for GnR til last week, then I actually listened to his music. This guy is amazing. Sort of a modern day Hendrix in regards to innovation and showmanship, but Jimi is far greater. It would be cool if he had a good band, with a singer and all that. This is just sort of a exhibition.

[@fscorpion678]

@@RByrne Buckethead over Hendrix any day

[@RByrne]

@@fscorpion678 For technical ability alone, yes. As for musical quality, tone, innovation, songwriting, showmanship and everything else, Buckethead isn't even close. Buckethead has speed and accuracy, as well as a good stage prescence and puts on a good show. I've yet to hear anything he did that i could listen to indefinitely, like I could with almost any Hendrix song.

[@PongGod]

@@RByrne Sounds like you haven't listened to much of Buckethead's music. The dude has over 350 albums of original music spanning multiple genres and so much of it is simply fantastic. It goes way beyond his technical abilities. His compositional skills are every bit as impressive.

[@srobertweiser]

Thomas Ivan Gallito He actually started off with an empty box of Popeye's chicken on his head but it kept falling off. He doesn't really like KFC, it's just that their bucket fits hid head a little more snuggly. Besides, KFC is part of Yum and they own Taco Bell, and if they were to unite with Buckethead there would be no doubt that they would achieve absolute global domination. And you know what that means? That's right, nothing to eat but KFC or Taco Bell and it won't make a fraction of a fuck which one you choose because we'll all be drowning in a fucking tidal wave of diarrhea. Bon appétit.

[@Mr1flyfisher]

I tried playing guitar when I was a kid in the 60's. I had a fender acoustic and played on stage a few times when I was like 12 or so in grammar school for school pageants and stuff like that and took lessons. I had little ability and no ear and I knew I could never play like the best. I tried the best I could but it was above me and I had to give it up as I didn't want to waste any more of my dad's money on more lessons. If you like playing and can play then keep playing for your soul.

[@mkilner]

I can not believe Buckethead had to endure axl. He should only play with guys like Les Claypool, Brain, Joe Satriani and a few others.....and his own bassist and drummer. I just saw Buckthead on Oct 5. He ripped it up in Reno. Vide of the show is on youtube if you want to see it. I got to tapped the kill switch on his guitar. I use a wheelchair and he stuck his guitar out for me to tap it. Dudes way cool. And I got a scooby doo figure.

Seems he want to have just nothing then free sincere expression (you don't ?).
