Has anyone seen Buckethead live? He's playing a gig at 9:30 Club tomorrow night ($15) and I'm going to check him out, even though I've never heard any of his music.
Any clues to what I'll experience?
Besides watching a man with Halloween mask and KFC bucket for a hat... |

All I know of him is that he played with Axel Rose's new versioin of Guns n Roses. |

Never heard his music but he's been around for a few years. Those that dig him swear by him so for $15, it should be worth it. |

one of the more innovative guitar palyers out there right now...
lots of tapping and other weird sh*t - certainly worth checking out...
he did some stuff with les claypool, too (which should kinda tell you where he is coming from)...
i hope you dig prog rock.
i would go for $15. there will be tapers there, so if you want a copy of the set you see, let me know, and i will track it down for you...
have fun.
edit:
his website (some twisted sh*t in here  )

has somebody seen his face? Not in the same proportion, but I think it's like when nobody have seen Paul Stanley, Genne Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss wearing no make-up. |

I read some weird shit about him that gave me the impression he was a real psycho (as if the mask and hat didn't give THAT away!) Like he stays in his room at his parents' house all the time, and records in a special studio made up to look like said room, with little godzilla monsters and other infantile detrius all around. Sounds like a pscychiatrist's wet dream to me.
Call the doctor, Ronnie! |

I have seen him on a few occasions just on television. He was with a few bands and has been around for at least five years. His most notable band of-coarse was the second coming of G&R (what a drag that was huh...) He was a good guitarist with more character to his play than alot these days. I will say he is a bit over-rated. He has a small little cult following that thrives off of his look a little more than his actual playing. Although his playing did have alot of spunk and pizzaz. For 15 dollars sure I would go check him out live. If he was close to me I would go. You can't lose. Go have a good time and let us know how it was.

His stage presence is rediculous in my opinion, and guitar wise he is so-so. He is very inventive, but he has a tendency to play out of tune. He's comparable to Steve Vai, only Vai is much more musical. With the new GnR, he proved that Slash's solos were actually a lot more difficult than you would think upon first hearing.

"He's baaaaaack, the maaaaan behind the maasssk, and he's out of control...." - do you know that song!? It was a theme for that Jason's movie..... by Alice Cooper recorded on "Constrictor" album. |

Hmmm, sounds more like a put-on show to me... You know...
Shock-rock is old news after all. And anyway, imo, one should let the experts handle it (e.g. Alice Cooper).

Now, I've just checked his site. Yikes 
Haven't heard the guy playing and it's bad to judge just from the looks, but there's way too much posing in there...
Lose the bucket for Christ's sakes!!! |

Buckethead is like THE meanest guitarist around these days, so don't slag Axl for including him -- slag Axl for not making good on Chinese Democracy.
Here's a video clip of Buckethead delivering the Nightrain solo live, he plays like few can.
Nightrain solo
Check out the Rock in Rio 3 concert if you wanna hear more of this monster guitarist.
Of his own songs you should try "Welcome to Bucketheadland" and "Binge and Grab (instrumental)". He's insanely good.
macdaddy: He's not wellknown outside of his Buckethead-persona.

i heard that a while back - i guess i first heard him with les claypool (if i remember correctly...
anyway, a google serach brought me here. don't know how legit it is, but hey - it's on the 'net, so it's gotta be true. check the scanned ad for a guitar player on the right of the page...

Is their fried chicken inside the bucket that rests on his head ? |

Dude's been in guitar magazines for at least 10 years, if not more by now. There's got to be guitar players on this board. Not that I've bothered to listen to him. Shred aint my cup. |

XIPE - YOU are not Buckethead, are you?
I remember in the 80's a series of vids came out called "Freaks of Nature". It featured chicks with dicks, guys with 3 foot dicks, chicks with 5 inch nipples. And some dudes with a condition called "Jug-Head", in which they had normal sized dicks, but with massive knobs.
This has nothing to do with anything, but buckethead reminded me of big knobs. So, i assume, deep down in my incrediblely complex brain, i was associating buckethead as being a knob.
Well, i'm satified with that. |

Speaking of Jughead, you think he should strap it on with Buckethead ?
