WHO IS BUCKET HEAD? ANYBODY ?

Metal Sludge says his name is Brian Carroll, whoever the hell that is. Click this link and scroll down to the bottom of the page: http://www.metalsludge.tv/home/index...=781&Itemid=39.
I just happened to see this the other day and remembered it.

I have nothing against the man himself but wearing a KFC bucket on his head is the dumbest gimmic ever!

[guitar08man]

only one of the best guitarists to ever live.

He never takes off the bucket or the mask, people go to his house and he has that whole getup on.

He doesnt talk either, he uses a pupet named bernie who "talks" for him.

WHO IS BUCKET HEAD?

People thouht Steve Vai was Buckethead for a while, then they thought he was Paul Gilbert. He's neither.

If you like inovative, highly skilled guitar playing, check him out. Colma is one of the most perfect instrumental albums I've ever heard.

God bless Buckethead.

Buckethead is an amazing guitarist. Not enough soulful stuff for my taste, but technically amazing.

Buckethead is an amazing guitarist. Not enough soulful stuff for my taste, but technically amazing.

He appeared with Bill Laswell on PBS' "Soundstage" the other evening (Thursday). Some of it was cool, some of it sounded like "art for art's sake" (noise). He had some bizarre backing tapes he kept walking over to and turning on or off, some strange pedal board effects, and some of the most amazing two handed tapping I've ever seen. Yet some of it...

Definetely worth a peek if you can find it.

Colma: Great album.

Monsters & Robots: Great Album.

There's also a Japanese import double disc called Bucketheadland.
It's whacked out, but pretty neat. He does a 10 sec. version of Willy
Wonka that's pretty cool.

I never understood why people judge he's a moron before hearing his playing. Metalheads around here won't give the man a chance because he looks like such a dumbass with the KFC bucket on his head.

Personally, I think the man is a genius. One of the finest guitarists to ever live. Didn't he used to do some "Eruption" in his solos for GNR as well? That's what it sounds like on my Rock In Rio III DVD. Even if he didn't, he's still one of the best, and certainly one of a kind!

Bucket head is Jason from Friday the 13th.



He was so successful at killing people that it started to bore him so in all his spare time he started to learn playing the guitar. It suited him better and was much cleaner than having to cut people in half.

Ozzy on Buckethead.......


"I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me but only if he got rid of the fucking bucket. So I came back a bit later and he's wearing this green fucking Martian's-hat thing! I said, 'Look, just be yourself'. He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother'. So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!'. I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing fucking mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up'? Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a motherfucker!"
