To stir up something different about Big B, check out Buckethead playing "The Thrill is Gone" on Youtube. It is at a wedding reception and the sound mix is not great, but you can certainly get a feel for his soulful playing. Who else would or could come up with this rendition? Make comments afterwards :-)

Buckethead is awesome period, he stacks up to the best. His biggest problem is he does tend to sound repetitious, especially using track loops. He has SO many albums it's hard to assess his playing unless you focus on the really good ones...like these, which show his true genius:
-Elephant mans alarm clock
-Giant robot NTT
-giant robot
-Decoding the tomb of the bansheebot
-crime slunk
-Inbred mountain
-Population override
-Bucketheadland
-colma
-Unision

Buckethead Pike 71 "Celery" makes me cry tears of joy. Takes a minute or three for him to get going but when he does... no mere mortal can play guitar like that. If Clapton is God, then Buckethead is God's Superman.

P.S. or SuperGod... Well... Whatever... Nevermind....

Check out Buckethead's Pike Series. Over 200 thirty minute albums in the past three years. Not all of 'em are my cup 'o tea, but the majority of them are excellent.

Why wouldn't you vote Bucket head in?!? What do you vote somebody into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on? Pure talent? Ingenuity? How masterfully they play their instrument? It cannot be based on record sales alone. That would be absolutely ridiculous.

I heard buckethead live performances on youtube when i was younger... I rediscovered him when my dad died. In some of his performances I have seen him play solo's and riffs that have alot of difficulty with an ease that makes you sit in awe. Soothsayer has a live performance that a man wearing a mask and kfc bucket on his head put out so much emotion he doesn't need lyrics. Jordan he shows a speed that is so fast that some people say it has no emotion. In an interview another master class guitarist said if he fused with slash buckethead would be 10x better than the fused result. I think he deserves to make it to the hall of fame. Talent, skill cannot be denied. Also he was there when the mighty morphin power rangers theme was composed. He was taught by Paul Gilbert. Its almost like a higher power wanted him to be born to experiment with his guitar. I've heard lots of his songs I don't like but I get this vibe that he sits down in a studio without writing and just plays the guitar then posts an album with the failures included. He is one of the best.

I don't think bucket cares about the hall very much but he's definitely top 5 guitarist ever for me. I like him, Gilmour, beck as always top 5, then constantly rotate among likes of petrucci, Iommi, page, yngwie, and def guilty pleasure for early kirk! Love randy Rhodes but sadly not enough of it.

My favourite BH tracks are probably:

1. Coupon (pike 234)
2. Door two (pike 217)
3. Sail on soothsayer
4. Hold me forever
5. Padmasana

Go bucket!!

In my opinion, Buckethead more than deserves to be in the Rock n' Roll hall of fame. His talent supercedes MANY who are already on it. I'm sorry.. Slash is a GREAT guitarist, but not even close to Buckethead. Buckethead has more talent and emotion through his playing by far. Buckethead has so much material that would prove this if those who would only take the time to listen. In order to know Buckethead, you literally have to devote a LOT of time to listen and discover how much amazing things he has written. I think too many people just see the bucket and mask and then stick a toe in the water and make a judgement call by wrapping him up into a neat little box as a guitarist/musician... And that's their first and biggest mistake when it comes to Buckethead. There are so many guitarist (including Slash) that just by looking at them and hearing a few songs, can be summed up on what their about... BUT NOT BUCKETHEAD. The man/machine will keep you guessing and I love that! Buckethead is 100% all about music.. and that's the most important thing. He knows his worth. He doesn't even need Ozzy! To each, their own.. and I am definitely NOT knocking on those who have their own different favorite musician.. Buckethead is definitely mine by a long shot and I would die a happy man to see him make it there.

I discovered Buckethead recently and I am overwhelmed by his talent. Not just for excellence in playing the guitar, but in his ability to communicate moods and emotions (which is, I think, the purpose of music). Someone said that when you hear Buckethead, you see into his soul. I find that to be true for many of his great works. Below is a list of some of my favorites:

Kansas Storm
Mustang
Machete
Ghosts of Broken Eggs
El Indio
Shell
Scroll of Vegetable
