Agreed but i wouldnt had known it was a buckethead channel by the name..what does natternet mean?

[@dubh_glas95]

I absolutely love buckethead and the fact that he doesn't talk much to people that aren't personally close to him makes it hard to connect with him. But these channels and stories just make me more of a fan. Bucket is so mysterious and amazing. I'll always love Bucket

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend! Woo!!

[@dubh_glas95]

@@NatterNet no no no, THANK YOU. My good, Sir

[@Jason-Evans]

Even tho GnR yrs was very difficult for Bucket, there were 4 good things that came out of it: 1. It was great exposure & how me & many bots discovered him ( when we may not have otherwise). 2. He played amazingly tasty riffs which elevated the quality of Chinese Democracy. 3. He finally got the payday he so well deserved. 4. As Brain said, the experience made him stronger & became crystal clear exactly what/how he wanted his music career to be like going forward. Great stuff!! Woo!!

[@NatterNet]

I agree on all 4 brother! Woo!!

Nothing would make you question your sanity more than leaving your hotel room after a nice r&r weekend and seeing Buckethead moonwalking past your door, lol 3:00, zutaut pulled that squid move about Buckethead for not being interested in playing with the band any longer, funny though, you don't hear much of him anymore since it's been rumored that Buckethead had called him and said he'd like to get together so he could bury the hatchet, thx Brain and Natter, another glorious vid, Woo !

[@NatterNet]

Haha bury the hatchet, indeed! Woo!!

[@erickkampa9360]

Glad that he confirmed it. I mean, all his fans already knew it wasn't true. I've seen people saying they wouldn't listen to Buckethead because of these stories.. It was about damn time! Great job, my man :)

Yes!! Shame on those people and shame on those channels and websites that have chosen to reprint and rehash that story without ever trying to find out the truth.

[@sircliffordmalcolmjac5870]

Anyone who says they wont check out bucket for some bs gnr stories are morons anyway and we dont need them in bucketheadland!!

[@stevemineer2857]

I actually discovered BH before he was called Buckethead from that guitar magazine with the finger extensions. I always remembered that photo even though I had no idea who he was. Sometime in the early 90’s after discovering Buckethead the name Brian Carrol came out and it triggered my memory. I still had the old magazine and went back and found the article. I wasn’t sure but I thought it had to be him. By the mid 90’s I confirmed it was him. I didn’t need him being in GnR to be exposed to me but I realize that’s the way a lot of people found out about him. I was never a fan of theirs but I did listen to Chinese Democracy years after it was released and thought it was a very good record. I don’t personally know BH but he comes across as a very genuine and nice person. Brain does his reputation good.

[@wizardryuk]

These are so great. This one is especially nice. I don't think I've mentioned it but the video clips you use and the editing you do is and has been phenomenal throughout. In some cases it's just nice to see but in many it helps to understand what is being talked about some are really special eg Brains Social Media stuff and his Dad. Your effort is enormous and utterly spoiled we are. I fear there aren't many more but what a fabulous week it's been. Woo!

[@NatterNet]

Thank you for noticing, friend. Much appreciated. There's 2 more episodes to go. And then I can take a tiny break haha Woo!!

[@wizardryuk]

@@NatterNet Excellent, I can't wait. A much deserved break but hopefully not for too long haha :P

[@BucketheadArchive]

Would you consider releasing the whole interview after all the clips are out? I love opening these each day and getting little bite sized pieces, but I think it might be nice to just have the whole thing play in the background. Thanks for all these clips again, they've been quite entertaining, and only reinforced my belief that Buckethead is the sweetest guy out there! Woo!

[@surfdigby]

I love how when Brain's recounting conversations between the two of them, he imitates Herbie's voice instead of Buckethead's actual voice. Unless........ they have to communicate through Herbie even when they're taking time off!?!?!

[@NatterNet]

Haha I know, right! I love that too! Woo!!

[@gyuru1234]

From the beginning I knew that all that GNR manager said is a lie and all the Bucketbots know it, thanks to Brain for talking about this, and thanks to you for uploading this video 👏

Thanks Natter for these really awesome interviews and for posting creatively inspiring videos. Bucket and Brain are wildly talented.

[@MARRANCA2]

NatterNet did it again. Thank you for setting the record straight. I think it's safe to say that Buckethead has VERY loyal and endeared fans that would "protect" him from these sorts of people in the future

This is really wholesome 💞 shout out to natternet and brain for being badass!💞💞💞

[@alanagottalottasay997]

I love early GnR but anyone who causes a person like Axl grief seems like a hero to me, whether intentional or not...speaking of heroes any drummer of Brains caliber who plays small kits and isn't hindered the slightest by them is as much of a legend as Buckethead to me....

[@NatterNet]

Haha indeed, I think the person who causes the most grief to Axl is probably Axl. And for sure, I hold Brain right up there with Bucket. Not just the stuff he's done with Bucket, Praxis and Primus but his composing with Melissa is top top level stuff.

[@dphotographyj3829]

Looking at all the gigs and all the music Buckethead has put out and done and also looking at Buckethead and his personality type I found it hard to believe anything i heard at all while he was with Gnr. Buckethead is clearly someone who likes to get stuff done and done very well.

[@NatterNet]

Absolutely! The idea of having him sit in the studio repeating the same parts over and over for months is such a waste of his talents. By the time GnR released Chinese, he'd already put out about 15 albums haha

[@snacktime2497]

"Nobody really liked Tom Zutaut" This does not surprise me in the least.

[@haywardward8602]

It's all guitar worlds fault! that's where I had first read that rumor waaaay back in the day. How are you gunna interview other people's opinions for an article on buckethead....

[@NatterNet]

@Sessla Kay someone reputable and not out for personal gain, yes. As well as statements from others who was with him in that studio (fortus/ doug goldstein etc who called him shy, quiet and reserved. As well as 30 years of proving he's a good guy who nobody has a bad word to say about). If you want to believe an A&R guy who nobody likes, who was fired from GnR twice, who leaked demo chinese democracy recordings last year and was blasted by the band for doing so, was once accused by Axl's ex-wife of sexual assault and has been shunned by the music business and now works as a car salesman then go ahead. But that would be extremely poor judgment. Extremely.

[@Tchernobog]

I know for a fact that Big B was just watching a weird horror film that had an erotic scene in it. 50% of horror films have a scene like that, they put them in there to help it sell. Someone walked in just as he was on that scene in the movie. Big B probably didn't even care about the scene, he probably thought it was just boring sleazy scene that was placed in there to pad out the time and he was just watching it in the background while he played for inspiration and was waiting for the horror imagery parts. Someone obviously took what they saw out of context and assumed it was something else.....

[@NatterNet]

Except that slimeball specifically said he wanted a tv to watch porn. I don't think he misunderstood or took anything out of context, I think he just made the story up because he's a mean bitter asshole and didn't like bucket.
