Josh Freese Talks about Buckethead

[@MilwaukeeF40C]

I hope Buckethead one day gets his gig in Disneyland.

[@Adam-yo3bt]

Bushrod Rust Johnson someone like this so i can have the 69th like

[@frenchfrysz6695]

Only if Disney can buy his likeness probably lol But B wont sell out!!

[@Exceltiaawesome]

I'm dying Buckethead is too adorable for this world. He has surpassed humanity in so many ways.

[@gman52712]

Agreed. He's a sweet hearted man.

[@jimmylad7358]

Axl was incredibly lucky to get Buckethead on Chinese Democracy. His contributions on that album are outstanding.

[@jbuell311]

If I were a billionaire, I would definitely build a Buckethead theme park in his honor.

[@lochraven21286]

Hell yeah!

[@Fred0rizon]

sir, you deserve my respect.

[@daxandy9899]

Bucketheadland...it's one of his albums

[@MISERYWIZARD1337]

DaxAndy 2 of them actually

[@daxandy9899]

Sl1pDisc Yea

[@tamashorvath3646]

I don't know why but Bootsie and Buckethead being buddies is making me happy. Such a perfect team

[@WilliamDavidPrichard]

"I'm like MAN! DUDE! BUCKETHEAD! MAN! LIKE WHOA!! INTENSE!! DUDE! I LOVE BUCKETHEAD!! HE'S A FREAK!! DUDE!! MAN!! SHIT MAN!! I GO... FUCK YEAH DUDE!! SHIT MAN! THAT'S COOL!! MAN!!" -Josh Freese

[@oursin777]

Amazing. I was thinking this the ENTIRE time! Hahaha

[@DoctorFun]

xD

[@charlierosillo1626]

Your comment made my day

[@stepwilder5098]

buckethead is just great .a pure artist

[@DeOrestes]

Favorite drummer, favorite guitarist.

[@chopperreed5274]

he opened for primus 15 some odd years ago on T-giving or like the day after in Wichita KS... show opened w/ the grungey techno music no band, he struts on stage w/ the white bucket and this orange KKK robe on, doing his robot gig for about 5 minutes. I was thinking to myself, why the hell did I waste my time... then he roboted over to his guitar and began to play. holy shit, one of the most memorable concerts I have ever witnessed. then he came back on stage w/ Les and the gang, best guitar and the best bass players in the world.

[@jaydee1594]

+Chopper Reed aww man seeing him live is an experience huh..

[@jaydee1594]

+Chopper Reed at least 5 times, one time i gotta toy, a My Lil Pony.. lol also gave him Beef liver., jus thru it on stage.. he also round house kicked my Michael Meyers mask i gave him, and to top it all off, at BBkings in NYC, i got to use the killswitch when he held it out to the audience.. :) memories

[@Infametheus]

His live show is like an out of body experience

[@workshop777]

This was such a great interview. Thank you for posting.

[@isorokudono]

Josh's DAD is the reason I met BB KING AND BO DIDDLEY AT THE SAME TIME. Disneyland, 1986, I was 6 years old, and my late brother David tuned to me, IN DIXELAND SQUARE, and said; HEY, come meet these guys". The program for that show goes from $350 on EBAY. Thanks to Josh's Dad. Love the VANDALS FOREVER, saw them at the Ice House when they recorded SWEATING TO THE OLDIES.

[@jerodcampbell1377]

The space mountain part was so funny

[@LawrencePeryer]

"Bootsy and Buckethead made records...about 300 people love them" Ha. And we've all left comments on this video.

[@ontariobuds]

For me, I think Buckethead or Brian is just a normal guy who is probably easy to get along with and who likes to joke around and have fun. Either way he is awesome!

[@DANOVERBOARDvlogs]

I've been listening to Bucket for like 4 days now, and I live him too, Josh. I love him too.

[@georgehenry76]

For me, Buckethead is the most underrated superstar of the last 30 years

[@Dave_Langer]

Its sad how Axl wasted all this talent. They could have done a ton of great albums together

[@iknowme]

Does Freese have his own podcast yet? I need to listen to this guy talk about everyone and anyone in music for hours

[@donseagrave]

josh freese is an awesome guy...playing w a perfect circle, nine inch nails, and devo just to mention a few and a grounded human being...and btw buckethead is awesome too in everyway...peace

[@forrestmcclanahan8238]

Offspring too! and Black light Burns with wes borland to name more.

[@tommylyons3765]

Um... The vandals.

[@Wartezimmer]

Josh is a true delight to listen to. Dude should start a radio/podcast program. OR does that already exist?

[@frogman8210]

He seems like a chill guy, that just wants to escape the publicity and interviews, he doesn't want all that, so maybe that's why he wears the bucket and the mask.

[@teemlee51]

That is a fun interveiw! Brings back memorys. Bucket and i where buds in those days. Josh's imitation is spot on. Thanks for posting!

[@flugplatz21]

Came for the Buckethead stories, stayed for Josh Freese's awesome storytelling and personality. I could listen to Josh all day!

[@steve199151]

I NEED to hear those Disney soundtracks by buckethead.

[@giantrobot5804]

+Steve Hoffmann a year late, but if you haven't already. Check out the album "From the Coop" It has all the tracks that he is talking about in this podcast!

[@stephenfleet4823]

Steve Hoffmann I

[@sethdillard5840]

Buckethead would rule at Disney

[@4thandinches]

That was before Disney turned into globalist scum, and replaced their fine workers with gimmegrants.

[@topsecret1837]

4thandinches And this, ladies and gents, is a person who hates his own country. Thank you, haha NOT.

[@pijawa2000]

He has his own bucketheadland

[@TechTutor10]

That was a wonderful excerpt of an interview. Thank you.

[@riansettles2506]

I remember having the Guitar Player magazine with brian may on the cover. i think it was 81 or 82. It has buckethead in it as a hometown hero..

[@YoBroMan]

The "Buckethead" persona didn't start until around 1988. His Guitar Player interview was in a 1996 issue.

[@rileywallace1132]

that's so cool... he got him to talk with the shit on.. I love how he made his own version of the Disney theme songs for when he rides them at disney land

[@Stat1cS]

Those stories were great! Buckethead is seriously the nicest and most innocent person ever aha! Like a child. But, a guitar GOD! If I ever go to Disney I want to hear his soundtracks!

[@tankmaster1018]

The Space Mountain in the California Disney has a theme song. And Buckethead should TOTALLY fucking play it because its one of the sickest ride soundtrack songs I have ever heard!

[@giantrobot5804]

+tankmaster1018 Listen to the Buckethead track - "Space Mountain" and ride space mountain :>

[@albertpike7677]

+Giant Robot I thought that was hilarious, Listening to his own versions of the theme park songs while riding the rides, Bucketheads awesome.

[@giantrobot5804]

I was laughing for a very long time when I heard that he makes his own Theme Track for the park. I am pretty sure that Josh is referring to the "From the Coop" album.

[@albertpike7677]

its one of the funniest things ive heard in a while, I was just picturing buckethead on those rides listening to his own recording of the song, fuck its hilarious.

[@salmenda]

omg I would kill for this full interview

[@PBRStreetgang]

LOL I love this interview; Bucket - a man of many mysteries. Thanks for posting.

[@JoseMendez-gc3ub]

Buckethead is the best guitar player that ever live. my stepson put me on too buckethead and i love his skills, i would love to meet him someday

[@JensVe]

777Lateralus its tool, not too.

[@JoseMendez-gc3ub]

JensVe lol

[@willamdaniel1139]

I agree tony I just hate he hurt his back and he dosent play anymore.

[@dartanganoswald1775]

Willam Daniel He plays plenty still. He's released 35 albums so far this year, and we're just in the middle of May.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Anybody who has spent years in the bedroom practicing can appreciate and see right where he comes from with respect, i wish I could go to Disneyland and jam the rides.

[@makitahowlstheblues8586]

A dream job for Buckethead would be doing the robot at Disneyland in his own character. Come on Disney! He already is a character. Let him play!

[@GorillaMoonGod]

Omg, that was great! I was cracking up on those Disney stories!

[@mr.martyr8573]

For like 2 years Id fall asleep every single night to BucketHead's "Colma" record. Lol

[@chazbono5991]

Electric tears is excellent too

[@jorisboulet3619]

i'll be waiting at space mountain

[@Wheresmy240]

That's what makes him such a special artist, it's because he doesn't have the same aspirations as other musicians. Long live Buckethead, I hope the dude gets to play Disney.

[@gavin_ward2464]

You just told a story about how he doesn't want you to say his name as you say his name 3 times. Great job

[@gavin_ward2464]

Satanic Canuck how do you think it spread around

[@trollsboggle8160]

gcwproskillz His name is very commonly known now. It's not really a secret anymore. Even his face isn't a secret anymore.

[@TheEarthwormZodiac]

i am 7 minutes in and this/these stories are just getting more and more random/bizarre/relentlessly fascinating.

[@deth800lg]

that last section about space mountain is just pure gold

[@TheNunus19]

Disney should let him play on his birthday. I think that would make him the happiest man in the world, despite all the dead chickens.

[@ozz469]

Ha When Buckethead goes To Disney he Listens To His Own Version Of The Music!!!!!! Thats Gangsta!!!

[@clownsechonk]

thanks so much for uploading!

[@MichaelGrecoGuitar]

wow! so cool! I'm a huge buckethead fan. So glad I came across this

[@UNCLELEE78]

Bucket seems to never age....:)

[@kevincornell9102]

. . .but his hands have no flesh!

[@seanlmfaowo]

Maybe that's due to the bucket on his head.

[@MrJgravley]

He is one of the unsung heroes!

[@sixweekssobergtr1]

This is such an awesome interview

[@rsd338]

buckethead needs his own disney special 7:30 pm saturday nights on TV with opening fireworks disneyland castle and disney opening theme song...He Deserves It

[@aicMadSeason]

For Halloween in Disney land, Buckethead should wear the Michael Myers mask for his gig

[@SStoopid]

“I just me goin off, it’s just me soloing”. FUCKING LEGEND

[@jamesepler7156]

Pray for buckethead. Hope he lives to be 150 and completely happy...

[@nuke97]

Best story EVER!!

[@2confrontational]

this is really funny, thanks for the share! Josh seems like a really funny guy!

[@SilentMott]

You gotta give it to the guy, he's got tenacity keeping this relatively unappreciated character going for THIS long.

[@romanval69]

Buckethead should release his Disney song interpretations... I'd check em out!

[@SilverHairCare]

he was supposed to do an entire disney album some years back, but it got put on the back burner for some reason. maybe Copyright? KFC threatened to sue him so he only wears a plain white bucket now. so maybe it was a similar case w/ the disney album

[@NikoFrederiko.]

@@SilverHairCare Josh's dad is a Music director for Disney.

[@vortexnectar5856]

I spent a week at Disney Land. It was during Winter, the place was magical.

[@MistaTofMaine]

Crazier couple of friends Bootsy and Buckethead or Tesla and Mark Twain?

[@gagefraw3182]

Bootsy and Bucket... We're waiting MTV

[@USAisNoLongerFree]

lol buckethead is fuckin awesome

[@bmaster462]

thank you for this

[@Killenmachine05]

that bootsy collins impression was scarily accurate

[@davidcurtis4478]

I just got a ride cymbal that is signed by Josh. Love it, sounds awesome. Funny stories about Buckethead. DC

[@rbilleaud]

Man, that dude must really be out there if he even wears the shit in the studio.

[@danmalec4410]

There's a video on KZbin of buckethead in a band in a cheesy bar. Except he's a young kid before buckethead. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of video but it's on here, I've seen it. You can tell instantly it's his playing .

[@seanlange6715]

oh man this shit is COMIC GOLD

[@michaelledford4751]

I'm more interested in hearing about the Frank & Dweezil Zappa connection than buckethead, especially because John was around the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen studios in cranks basement while monster musicians like Mike Keneely ,Steve Via, Warren Cucurillo were around .

[@garylester8621]

Bucket, I'm so nervous. Josh, aw don't be, Axel and the guys are cool. Bucket, no not that, about meeting your father. too funny.

[@MISTERMOODYHYADD]

Bootsy Collins: Original Bass player for James Brown & later on Parliament/Funkadelic, but don't say Bootsy....say Bootsy Bootsy.

[@feellikearanger5950]

Bootsayyy

[@MarkArandjus]

3:35 second hand accounts of Buckethead are always hillarious!

[@officerdoofy222]

there's a rumor that he has a twin brother called bucketdome.

[@officerdoofy222]

Ryan Smith​ That's because they were separated at birth. You can google Bucketdome and Buckethead, it should pop up.

[@officerdoofy222]

eqsmooth Yeah, I heard Paul was Buckethead's brother also. I don't see it. They don't look anything like each other. Bucketdome on the other hand, has a lot of the same features as Buckethead. The same complexion, the same hair, and the same shape of head. And it's also believed that Bucketdome is also super tall.

[@officerdoofy222]

***** So sorry. I heard that disease was 99.9% fatal ( amongst terminally ill people 70 years old and older) I'll pray for you, my son. :-(

[@officerdoofy222]

eqsmooth You are right about Buckethead's lanky avatar looking body. His creepy extraterrestrial fingers look like they're straight out of the movie ET. BUT HIS FACE That expressionless pale face and his Frankenstein size forehead, resembles Bucketdome. I could be wrong. :-(

[@officerdoofy222]

eqsmooth maybe. Google 'bucketdome and buckethead' you'll see him.

[@walterkersting9922]

Genius for coming up with this.

[@bucketzakkdimetconn]

This is incredible! I love it

[@deviantlinux]

Freese sounds exactly like the guy who talks on the song Post Office Buddy.

[@DROWXXI]

i met buckethead once in alburquerque at the grandmas guitar shop with him wearing al his stuff but at that time i didnt know who he was i never hear of him so i went up to him and talked to him but he didnt talk to me for a while until i asked who are your u play really cool guitar and he said im buckethead then i said who im buckethead after that we talked then more time after he taught me some scales and tapping since i was just starting and after i left looked him and i met the famous brian

[@jotunman6]

I remember when I went to Disneyland and they told me to turn my Buckethead shirt inside out.

[@ParadoxBoxx]

Wait, why?

[@_JellyDonut_]

That's crazy, especially considering Disney is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing and one of the more evil companies in existence

[@jotunman6]

+Paradox Box it wasn't appropriate attire is what I was told. Very weird.

[@Infametheus]

I was at Disney last year. Wore a Ghost shirt and a few other horror shirts. Nobody said anything to me

[@sssdfrfwrgr]

The last part was fuckin hilarious.

[@seekthe9]

Funny af, glad I learned these things

[@derockshun]

Buckethead should be part of the Joe Satriani G3 concert next year instead of Phil Collen! Jus sayin lol

[@Infametheus]

D-Rocks Bucket had a heart condition. I don't think he'll be playing anytime soon, if ever again

[@conorx3]

Infametheus he's got a heart condition yeah but he still plays gigs. He's playing 8 shows from now till the end of 2017

[@BuckI2Bdad]

He was just in Lawrence, KS a week ago

[@shawngguitar]

@@Infametheus buckets still playing around, I'm actually seeing him this April!

[@Infametheus]

@@shawngguitar I know! I saw him last April. Mind blowing

[@bucketheadrox]

the greatest part about Big B is his love for his own music.

[@coalhalo]

Bootsy and Bucket...that would be THE best reality show of all time

[@teemohnay]

This is great! AHAHAHA!!! good times :)

[@wordtoyourmothership]

If you listen to the podcast this is the last of the Buckethead talk.

[@kennyjones3951]

It’s just me soloing, it’s just me goin’ off. Lol😂

[@aaronfleishman435]

don't you ever forget those wonderful puppets.

[@HanemanHunters]

Brian SURELY is a cool guy! I'd love to hang out with him.

[@rsd338]

Buckethead will walk the halls of Disney for centuries....

[@Vortigon]

What is all the disney comments in buckethead vids what's it all about?

[@Kvele]

Richard Clark he loves Disneyland.

[@krystyon1]

best guitarist ever

[@hadleymanmusic]

Thrilling chilling sounds and the haunted mansion I do like also

[@anthemlog]

I like most probably know of him through Guitar Hero. It's very respectable to not give away his identity. If he values his privacy don't just give him away.

[@KappaDaKappa]

This is class A-shiiieeet - Fantastic!!

[@Earthium]

I wana go on Disney world rides with buckethead playing playing the music.

[@ZombieOrchestra]

''He does all these robot moves in the studio.'' IN THE STUDIO! The more I find out about this guy, the more I love that next level guitar freak!

[@manifestgtr]

You know a story is gonna be ridiculous when it starts off “one time buckethead...”

[@ru2388]

Great interview!

[@Stephen_Eee]

I want to be his friend. And maybe he could call me Bucketfriend. I wouldn't mind.

[@christopherstuart3922]

Love this. Thanks so much for boasting. Buckethead is the MAN.
