Buckethead is a genre of music
He is a simple automaton, does not know of genre boundaries and definitions.
Thank you. I couldn't get it into words.
Yes it is. A unique and fantastic genre
Absolutely! Well said!
Hell ya!!
Whenever I listen to this guy, I immediately check the comments as well. It heals me to see people love him so much and his music takes people with him in a journey, he is one of a kind.
agree
True story 🤘 absolutely love this guy!!!
Totally agree! My day begins with espresso and Buckethead (ever since I discovered him) The drive to work hasn’t been the same since.
✅👍💚🎶🎸🌞🎶
@@dougEfresh1224 I bet out of the two, you´d rather give up the espresso ;)
Came across Buckethead totally by accident, youtube was on autoplay and it was some Slash vs Buckethead video and I was like "who tf is this guy and why are they comparing him to Slash".. He was trollong in the video, playing with some chicken toy and stuff and it got me curious.. Dug a bit deeper and WOW, Slash has nothing on this guy, not even in the same stratosphere 😳
Children, let me tell you a story of a man... A man who, after years of enjoying the colonel's chicken then became allergic to one of the herbs and spices in his signature blend. Heartbroken he gently placed one of the buckets of the chicken he craved atop his head. Surrounded by the scent of what he'd lost he began to pour out a heart wrenching song of love and loss. Some people say he's still out there, pouring out ballads to the flavor that will never be his. Touching hearts with the sweet melodic sound of seasonings.
Sweeet♥️
So poetic like Soo kickass how u said it LOVE IT
😂 😂 Perfect 👌
This!!!!!
His alone, 'that is'.
I am 69 years young and just love this guy. I used to think Hendrix was the best but, hell, this is what guitar playing is about - LOVE IT !!! Especially Hold me forever -WOW
live happily old man
nice age man
You should listen to a player named Josh Meader. Can't be touched.
@@RUMPLEforeskin25 Yep, just listened to his "Live in Sydney". Excellent Jazz guitarist - Dad's not bad either!!
69 years young and loving buckethead.you will be young for ever.me 62.french🇨🇵
Hold Me Forever is supernatural...
I Absolutely Agree!!! 🌻❤
@@anitahedgecock1968 - a spacial name you carry around, Anita !
That album is dedicated to his mother
Yeah but so is “Animal Behavior” look it up under “best sound BUCKETHEAD animal behavior+ killer sound” live version look it up its WICKED SICK! 🇺🇸
I heard it Idk how many times and always amazes me
it feels like i have found my life's background music
Me too
You Did😎✌️
Me too
background music of the Universe
Seems we're on the same server guys😅
He has so much I could never learn the names. But I've never heard anything that wasn't incredible. When I see Buckethead I just hit play and let it go. I've never been disappointed I am always amazed. He is without a doubt the greatest guitar player ever
agreed one of the best and you can hear the E VanHalen influence in his work often - RIP EVH - Bravo Bucket!
Viva la Buckethead
People wake up G.o.a.t 4 sure
@@thierrygerard830 try some satriani, he will also give you some pleasure :) But buckethead is the best ive ever heard too. although there is some crazy stuf... i have around 1200songs and around 180 are absolutley gorgeous.
@@11Rastafari11 thank s for your answer i know joe satriani i like a lot to i think we like both the métal and progressive rock.whatever buckethead style is out of every others sorts of music.he has invented.the idéal. Of course some pikes are étrange.but listen ummagumma of pink floyd is you don t know you will be very surprise.thats dépend of your âge.me i have 62.good health guy
Buckethead is a really good guitar player, so good that people don't even give him credit for his writing. The way that he can write such long pieces that just flow together is amazing. Most guitarists fall back onto riffing and shredding, but he writes music more like you'd expect from a classical pianist.
Very underrated, it's not fair really.
I totally agree that he is ' AWSOME '
My husband turned me on to him
That is why he is so fascinating. I'm not a metal or shredding fan at all. Significantly, you won't find him in the Wikipedia list of important shredding guitarists. That's good, he's more
It’s been many years since buckethead structured full songs ( least I have not heard) (maybe I’m wrong) like escape from inbred mountain’ or electric teargas songs. It’s great stuff over holidays and recently, in my opinion they sound like jam sessions. Buckethead has an idea, buckethead hits record button, starts playing. Already set up dialed in Buckethead knows how to make tracks quick. I have NO idea. That’s just what I think, I could be totally wrong
Buckethead helped me with my depression and helps keep me motivated to better myself! :D
Buckethead is the best therapy. I too fell victim to this psychological shadow.Big B is Bach on guitar.
Couldn't agree with you guys more ☺️
Sorry about your life...
@@virtualpilgrim8645 don't be sorry for life that which love has found. Happiness is a state of mind and space, one for which I've finally found place for, and for whom time may match pace
@@virtualpilgrim8645 I Hope you find happiness too! :D
we buckethead fans are a special breed. something about him connects us all its a beautiful thing. he is a symbol, and i think about him everyday. just hoping hes doing ok and all the people hes influenced. makes being alive tolerable for me.
Buckethead always takes you with him
Beatifully said
Finding Bucketheads music has been one of the most radical times of my life.
Tell me about it! Just an old boomer with hearing loss.
I'm 68 years old I've seen many guitarists but this current this energy this guitar wisdom had never heard the student surpassed his teacher Paul Gilbert and with an immeasurable creativity Buckethead has no more to discover on guitar I came out of my depression thanks to this great gentleman. thanks
He is this generation's best composer and virtuoso of the guitar. This generation will Ever see ❤❤❤
We , All , Love Buckethead❤
Damn that Hold Me Forever ... i think i heard it about 30times in the last 4 days ...
Yeah it’s so killer.
The entire Pike is a gem. Dedicated to his mom who had recently passed away so I'm sure he worked extra hard on that one.
And it never gets old
True that! Make me what to hold it forever!! 😆
He does feed the "SOUL", every time you re-listen to a track you get more out of it.
Yeah 👌🏻I don’t think there’s been a single time I’ve listened to through the looking garden without my eyes watering in the solo
This is how existance sounds, and we are again reminded of it through his being
Finest guitar player of this century, so creative and full of feelings, a real pleasure for human beings.
Por ones who doesn'n kow it.
Absolutely 💯
The buckethead music was originally performed centuries ago.
Buckethead is the uranium of music...the source of limitless energy the world needs but does not deserve
IT IS A 25 MINUTE JOURNEY WHERE MY MIND DOES NOTHING BUT LISTEN
"Buckethead"? Okay algorithm, you're weird, but let's give it a shot." Half an hour later: "Fuck me."
3hours later hahah epic
Man, Buckethead is nuts. How much energy does this guy has? The nonstop riffs he does are insane!
mindblowing awesomenes !
not nuts at all ,this guy is a guitar god,there are many great guitarist,but there are not many at the level of satriani,vai and buckethead,this guys are the guitar gods.
For some players you could say "They only can do it in the studio" I've seen Buckethead a number of times live and he is LEGIT this good live too. The most amazing thing is he makes it look and sound SOOOO EASY
Flowetry! Only one vibe needed . ⛽🔥
It's endless
Until a week ago, my life was incomplete not knowing about Buckedhead, since then, i sometimes can't sleep cause i'm so high in his music 24/7. This man is a legend🔥🔥🔥
Kicking it off with "Hold Me Forever", probably my favorite pike of all time. I've run through this so many times and it never gets old.
You can tell he writes songs with his heart
he plays in a way that we all love; it seems that he's making our dreams come true, playing exactly the things we would if we could..long music highways, long landscapes we dream to play on, over, and over, and over.
We are blessed to have buckethead-disciples like you
Physically unable to stop listening to the incredible artist! So much diversity! Every bar has something different to offer my ears, and my ears are loving every single note! How this brilliant artist hasn't made to the mainstream is beyond me... The world would truly be a better place if more of us sorry souls on planet earth would listen, soak up these juicy riffs, these sick licks, and enjoy the nirvana that is Buckethead!
He was offered a record deal by Sony. He turned it down and stayed true to the music. I appreciate him so much.
He doesn't want to be any mainstream that's part of what makes his music so ecclectic
HOLD ME FOREVER is utterly magnificent!!! builds to a miasma of superb guitarring!!!!!!!!!
I am sitting here listening to Buckethead on Christmas morning 2021 and it brings me great Joy! Merry Christmas Buckethead!!!
I was hospitalized exactly that morning , all I was looking my phone to listen BUCKEYHEAD , I realized I left it at home , i walked back to home and got lost in buckethead universe . I’m still alive .
@@rickyrizario9124 Glad your better dude! Took you a while to reply.🙂
Its, August 24, 2023 as I am reading this note. Greetings from the future. Shazbot, Nanu Nanu
I have never gotten a msg from the past future before! Or from Robin Williams! May the force be with you! August 26th@@davediaz5127
Everyday is Christmas with Buckethead playing his music in the background inside my home...
I don't know if there's one tune that i don't like by this amazing artist. Buckethead is a GIFT to humanity 💞 thank you for this incredible compilation.
me don t like some overly shredding pieces. Though it is, of course, technicaly flawless.
Couldn't have said it better myself he from another planet so crisp so perfect its almost unreal
The 30 Halloween pikes give me nightmares, and so does his experimental and funky unstructured shredding stuff, but he has the right to have fun and share it with his fans. But every time he goes for structured musical stuff, he's unbeaten, this collection is very close to my most listened pikes. The atmosphere he can create in his pikes have so much originality
Someone else you may like. A relatively unknown, Dave Simpson. A quirky British guy, that plays unbelievably. Just youtube Dave Simpson, Good Gravy. Enjoy!
@@charlesharper7292 oh thanks for the recommendation. Will def check him out.
He is with his music is making us understand the Meaning of why we are on this Earth, making us think Deep into our souls and having us enjoy the Harmony of Nature and the Universe . I thank God & the Aliens for this Soul on Earth ! Thank you Bucket Head for Changing the Course of our Lives !
This moment that you have to go to do something but you can't stop the video..
He is better than Elvis ever thought about he is so amazing he has no bad tune
@@timothyevans5497 lol yes bucket rocks
How can songs with no lyrics move me so much? More than a guitar hero!
Some hero’s wear a cape. My hero wears a bucket, on his head.
This is giving me energy to keep up for my graduation
Más de 30 años escuchando rock..heavy metal etc...y desde q descubrí al señor buckethead todo lo demas me sobra....su música te hace sentir de todo...desde euforia hasta llorar....sin duda es el mejor de todos...el flow que tiene es insuperable..rey de reyes ❤️
Got my 4 year old brother into Buckethead. I'm teaching him good tastes 😎
The world needs more rock/metal fans that just enjoy music
Damn right good taste. that isnt very common anymore and theres a reason its good, man this music makes one feel or imagine so much so that i cant find words to describe just what this does. the atmospheres he creates are impeccable to say the least. your doing a good thing passing it on :D
Buckethead is my drug and I have a serious addiction...this took me places. Major props on this playlist, the best yet!!!
I am so happy I found him. Great musician, very underrated. I love his style
I don't think he's underrated, pretty sure everyone who rated him are at about gazillion out of ten. It's just that not too many people rate this mastermind
His music resonates with every cell in my body. He is just amazing.
I just discovered Buckethead (he was in my list while listening to Tool) and just...wow. Nothing else explains it better than that. Now I am in Buckethead land.
Welcome to the Coop.
@@fractalhead566 Tool head here. What the fuck am I hearing? This is gold!
Just discovered Buckethead about 6 months ago after listening to people like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai for decades yet was oblivious to who Buckethead was. Welcome aboard bro!
That's how it happens, you find a song that just connects. Then you want more. And never disappoints.
Don't you just love that :)
i went to the original Woodstock wen i was 15yo & Buckethead wuda been just a few months old during that era, i just turned 70yo on 04.28.2024 & i hope i liv long enuff 2 enjoy all of Buckethead's songs ! I've seen alotta musican's come & go in my time here on Earth, bt i gotta say this much, Bucketthead nhas 2 be 1 of the finest guitarist i've ever heard in my entire life !!!
The output of Buckethead is just incredible. This guy was a Chopin or Beethoven in a prior life.
Mozart with a flying V
Get real you prick
The greatest in the history of the guitar!!!!
Buckethead should be in the top 5 guitarists, the world over! Florrmat is such a representation of his skills as an instrumentalist. Continue the quest, there's yet, more to come!
The first song, Hold Me Forever, as many of you know, is for his mom. Nothing changes you like losing your mother, no matter how old you are when it happens. The first time I heard this, I thought of my mom going through horrible pain off and on for 2 1/2 years while she struggled with cancer until she died at 47 when I was just 20. I wept like a baby through the whole 28 minutes even though it happened 50 years ago. I've listened to all kinds of music my whole life and NEVER has any music touched me so profoundly as this man's music. I just discovered him about two years ago. Listen to him almost every day. Now I have tickets to see him in Rocklin, CA in June. I feel extremely fortunate as he doesn't tour much. He's not just a musician. He is a toucher and transformer of souls. So many comments on KZhead videos from people saying that he saved their lives. Seriously, how many other musicians have that effect on people?
U r now 70. God bless u. Welcome to BuckETheaDland the gr8est place on Mother Earth
EVERY-TIME I LISTEN TO BUCKETHEAD - I THINK ITS GOING TO BE JUST MUSIC. EACH TIME IT ENDS UP BEING AN INTENSE DEEP JOURNEY
Thank you KZhead autoplay for introducing me to another great artist.
Listening to Buckethead, painting and airbrushing psychodelic art
I find it enjoyable as I listen to read through the comments. So many feel as I do about such a talented man.
I own the full set of Pikes (paid for) and I still come to youtube for the sense of community around the music and like you. I really enjoy reading the comments as I enjoy the music here!
Keeps getting better, beginning to see more of the landscape , seeing more of the contrast that exists between light generated by emotional reality and the intense dark descents into imagination and fantasy. . . He has the ability to exist in both realms at the same time and I believe he is explaining it all to us without using any words. . .
This video is audible medicine to me. I listen to it all the time when I'm at work. IM IN LOVEEE 🤟🤘
Like me always when I'm at work 🎶🎶
I love to listen when I'm studying. Also cleaning and at work if I can. His music is calming and energizing at the same time. It's hard to explain, just something you feel.
I've heard of buckethead for a few years on various metal/hard rock pages I follow. And unfortunately, for whatever reason, up until today. I never gave him a listen. I'm ashamed at that, now, that I dived in today. This is beautiful.
You got onboard. That's the important thing!
i have listened for three years and it still does exactly what it did then. creating intense and interesting atmospheres that can take you through your mind in a way nothing else can. its incredible to say the least
Florrmat - one of the most badass intros of all time.
These make the best jam tracks when you want to blast off. So far
Hold Me Forever is proof the Buckethead isn't human
Damn, I always saw this guy's picture around and then his signature white Les Paul baritone guitar, for a while, but for no particular reason never really listened. This is incredible.
I never realized how bad I needed a KZhead ad right before the greatest solo of all time kicks in, tnx man
the drummer & bass guitarist for Buckethead are really awesum too, 2 go 30 minutes straight on 1 tune & keep the perfect timing & too add the perfect accents @ just the right time, they are 1 hellova g00d rock band !!!
This makes me feel like i NEED to drink right now just to handle my emotions while listening
That’s not a good way to handle your emotions.
I think we understand sort of what you mean but perhaps reconsider...
@@JN-fc2uz alcohol is the devil
As a long time metal fan, I am ashamed that I never gave buckethead a listen until 2022....
no need to be ashamed. now that youi found BH, everything is fine. be amazed
His music can touch anyone but I'm sure many goth and emos would love this stuff like candy cause I do 😂
The Gods sent this person to open our minds & spirits
OH! His guitar definitely speaks! The greatest guitar play I´ve ever heard. So gentle, also agressive, technical and moody and SO melodic! It´s everything included in his music! I just hit the PLAY button and flew away to his world of music!
Will be riding my motorcycle listening to this!
please, keep your eyes on the r o a d.
@@MrMajar9 luckily enough you watch the road with eyes and listen to music with ears, different organs! 👌
Hold me forever is INSANE!
His discipline is appreciated always keeps you guessing where he's going to go truly a one-of-a-kind guitar player
This is what happens when you accidentally give too many talent bars to one character in the simulation God damn love this shit
Haha that made me laugh. Seems legit 👍😂❤️
Listening to it while tattooing. Much respect and love. Awesome flow... I am still buying cds and supporting good music. I will support this guy because i love to hear this and i am looking forward for cd sound... Nice listening everyone!
I listen to it while performing abortions. Much respect and love.
After discovering your playlist I can't stop listenting to it. I've listened to Buckethead for years but never heard some of the songs you've put into these mixes. Pure bliss
I'll probably catch some flack for this, not taking away anything from satriani or Gilbert as they both had an influence on his playing. But in more than my humble opinion not only is he on the same playing field as those greats but as of now , right here right now not only does he outplay them but he is sitting in a circle and pedestal all by himself not many if any can pick up the ax and shred so intensely that there is no need for words because his playing invokes every emotion that it literally speaks volumes all on its own. Now I know it's not a contest I know it's art from the top down and vise versa but to me IMHO. No one even comes within the same vicinity as this man! Here's to you Brian! Long Live THEE Bucket Of all Buckets!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻bring whole new meaning to 'I get Buckets" lol
Backethead’’s music really incredible and unrepeatable. The tones he uses are amazing.
Just one of these pieces would be enough to make the career of any other guitarist famous and celebrated. Well, Buckhetead of songs of this level has dozens of them. He seems to come from another world, from another dimension. It's amazing ...
You need Jesus bro
A música de Buckethead consegue despertar uma explosão dos mais diversos sentimentos. Sonhos, aflições, desesperos, vitórias, lutas, quedas e sucessos, tudo muito unido e tudo muito antagônico. São paradoxos, sim este som é paradoxal. Um verdadeiro mestre, um virtuose. Este é o objetivo das obras-primas: Impactar. Obrigada por esta excelente seleção.
Vai, Hendrix, Vaughan, Satriani, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, their more modern equivalents, all the good, great, amazing, beyond comprehension guitarists are only second to Buckethead. They have the skills, some were born to play guitar, others are masters of it through sheer perseverance and will instead of any natural talent. But Buckethead isn't just born for guitar, he is guitar. That man and his instrument are one being, he's risen above thinking with his heart and speaking his thoughts through his guitar, he pours his very soul, his entire existence, into every song. Every note is played as if he was making a duet with his soulmate. Each one is a masterpiece unto itself, and a masterpiece beyond it's predecessor. He will never stop improving, and no human will reach his level of mastery for hundreds, if not thousands of years. He is the Neo of guitar, he is "the one". In my years of listening to rock, metal, country, blues, jazz, everything in between, nobody has come even remotely close to Buckethead's level. His abilities aren't just from him being an amazing guitarist, but because it's his purpose to make music. And I live every day happy knowing I get to witness the beauty of Buckethead.
This is Epic! 20min solo just killing it. Buckethead rules.
1 year later and I still love this. 🤘 keep rockin socks off my dude!
I really love this crazy guy Is my drug I cant stop to listen him is so fucking good I have a serious obsetion with buckethead an i love it!! 🤪🤟
You are not alone.😜🌍⚽️
YEP
Buckethead is the greatest guitarist on the planet hands down. I'm so lucky I got to see him up close it was like he was playing just for me it was so amazing. :) Please come back to Columbus Ohio soon.
I always favored listening to each album separately. This mix is an exception. Good job.
Buildor is a badass masterpiece. Dark as hell.
I just bought a new TV. I fell asleep while listening to deftones and I woke up to this mix playing. This guy is amazing and it helps me sleep. Weird how I found out about this guy half asleep 😂😂
Brian hey that's my name and I'm learning the guitar after watching my dad play Rush, Allman Brothers, Blackfoot. My dad was an amazing guitarist I wish he would have known of Buckethead when he was still alive. God here lately I can't put my gutiar down always thinking of my dad's playing, to have my dad plus Buckethead always giving me the inspiration that I've been blessed with. Thank God for you Brian Carroll your music is truly inspriring and motivational speaker to anyone who wants to learn the guitar.my name is Byrian spelled differently from Brian but my name is unique just as Buckethead is!!!!
Dude you freaked me out with the line "Buckethead while he was still alive"
Whoa... just WHOA! YT just randomly sent me here when the Cacophony (Jason Becker/Marty Friedman) album I was listening to ended and HOLY SHIT! This guy is freaking amazing! Definitely adding this hidden gem to my playlist.
Thanks Bucket and You and and your Cousin, nice to meet you both, P Sticks, it was a bit ago at The State Theater in the St Petersburg, I had the Guitar Shop,next to the State Theater, in St Pete, In the Star Booty, you came by, checked out my shop, and the rest of the show was awesome, please :)
Only the lucky few elect to these megalithic jams legendary
He comes to play in my city in a few months and I just can't wait.
Thank you all for his songs, it makes me feel good to still alive.
I heard this sound somewhere but now it is real for me
Speechless! Amazing! I get goose bumps every time I listen to this amazing musician! What pours from his fingers is life changing!
"goose bumps" LOL
Seeing him for the second time next month. Can't wait!!
HIs music gets me totally relaxed and focused like nothing else. I can listen to Buckethead for hours on end.
This is the best thing I have ever heard in my entire life
I agree with you,me too.
Just when you think you've heard them all!!! Most excellent.....
i think from the time i heard buckethead i only listen to him dude fills my soul anytime of the day any feeling how is not the greatest recognized guitarist ever lived?
First time hearing Buckethead today. Got damn I was missing out!! You sir are a genius!
Hold me Forever is basically the first song I like by Buckethead
I love him so much! So much! I wish I can ever touch him! My dream is to meet him and tell him how much he means to Me. The greatest guitarist of all time, the technique, the passion, the suffering, he has it all.
Buckethead es grandioso ,imposible definir lo que me hace sentir una explosión de sentimientos ,me ayuda con la depresión, me hace sentir muy óptimo , es un gran ser humano, lo que transmite con su música es indescriptible, grande Buckethead, a mis 21 agradezco mucho el haberlo encontrado siempre dará paz , adrenalina , amor y emoción a mi vida ....
Cultureman, totally agree, always listen to this amazing music. Keep going dude! jaja se hacia el inglés el tipo, también me ayuda mucho su música a concentrarme, saludos desde uruguay
Too young to be depressed. Shake that shit its unnecessary
This is one of my most favorite song videos on youtube! Each Buckethead song sooooo incredibly awesome! Thank you!
Me too!!!
Nobody plays like him. I can listen to this all day
Buckethead is the sound of emotions 😅
Most enjoyable. Watched the Rolex 24 car race for a few hours last night with Bucketheads music turned up. Great mix of awesome music and images. Thank you!
