101 Reasons Why Buckethead is the G.O.A.T.

- This list as a whole can explain why Buckethead should be higher on your list of "Greatest Guitarists." He doesn't have to be number one, but I do think he needs to be way up there.
This list is not perfect. By all means, I don't think a "perfect" list even exists. This is just my attempt to help people hopefully come to a greater understanding of Buckethead's amazing guitar career.
Songs In the video:
Siege Engine
Disintegration Mirrors
Boris
Griffin's Spike
Crumple Pt. 1
Pike 43 Track 1

(Fun fact: Buckethead has actually played his guitar at closer to 600 shows rather than 500.)

at a show i went to i saw a little girl hand him a note and a drawing. buckethead at first wouldn’t take it “i found out later some pos wrote buckethead a death threat so i guess that was why” so she kept handing it to him so he finally took it.
fast forward a year i went to see buckethead again at that same place. i was shocked to see that girl there again she’s like 14 and it just stood out to me that she loves his music wears a bucket on her head and all that jazz. well i went up to her and her dad and told them i have recorded her handing buckethead the note because it was during the toy hand out and asked if they wanted me to send it to them they was happy and the dad gave me his contact info so i sent it to them. later that night during the toy hand out buckethead handed HER a note. i got to see it. it was from him to her thanking her for the kind words and the drawing..
how awesome is that. the girl was crying nonstop. how much it meant to her that a artist she looks up to did that for her. NOT only remembering a year later but was appreciative of her as a fan.
buckethead is truly a good guy and the world needs more people like him
I am literally in tears over this, goddammit, if this doesn't hit you in the feelers, then you have no heart. Thank you for sharing that story :) This just reaffirms why Bucket is the greatest of all time!
The whole world needs to hear this story. Thank you so much for sharing!
This made me choke on a tear or two just reading this. I live in Australia so I guess I have 0.001% chance of seeing big B live, though my 2.5yr old daughter dances with me daily when I listen to pikes. Its the highlight of my days most days. I just hope as she grows so will her love for the bucket.
in 2018 taking her note @:23

2019 gives her a note and takes something from her
3:40 see bucket pick up a red rolled up paper and gives it to her 3:59 and 4:05 hear her scream i love you

My son was a huge fan....had almost all his pikes. We went to 3 of his concerts in 2 years. At my son's recent memorial service, I had Buckethead music playing in background....Electric Tears, etc. My son was 38
may your son rest in peace 😢
@@Hold_me_forever thank you. He was a born again Christian so he's now listening to the amazing music in heaven
@@lorib2813 yes he is, God bless
@@davidroberts2595 thank you. Have a blessed Christmas
Ohhh no man. I’m insanely sorry for your loss. Heartbreaker man totally
*Buckethead has a special place in my heart*
@Jeff Watson you’re a stupid noise
@Jeff Watson oh my bad I actually thought you were the one trolling lol. I miss understood what you said I think
"He's not looking for fame."
I'm surprised that his offer from Ozzy Ozbourne isn't on this list. Ozzy Ozbourne, probably the god of Rock n' Roll, wanted Buckethead to play guitar for him... on the condition that he remove his bucket. Buckethead said no. Every other artist out there would have bent over backwards to just get the offer at all and would have bent over again if Ozzy asked them to.
Buckethead removes his bucket for no one... not even Ozzy Ozbourne.
Good point! Very well put!
Absolutely! And the best thing about this story is that we know it's true. It's not apocryphal. Ozzy told the story himself during an interview. He ended the story by saying "He plays like a motherf@#$&r!"
It was probably Sharon.
God of shit n hole
Even kings cant take your dignity
My bucket list:
1)See Buckethead live
That's it. Why do you think it's called a bucket list? Duh...
Ethan Isaac bro if hes ever on tour in ur area buy that ticket!! i been to twi bucket head concerts one at the filmore in MD and another show in DC he does fucking amazing in person the tracks and studio versions dont do buckethead any justice ! he sounds amazing live !
deffinatly go see him. and you can tell he loves his fans because he all but gives the tickets away. it was a packed house and i payed more to park than i did for the tickets.pretty admirable for a guy who could get a lot more if he was greedy
we're lucky to live at the same time as him.
Im glad im alive in this time, rock/metal music 2000-now is incredible
Great video my friend, very well put together. I also had the pleasure of hitting the like button to make it 101 likes. Woo!!
He's the Nikola Tesla of Guitar world
Wow thats a great insight
The AnimeLife Please lets not forget the man Buckethead considers to be the absolute best : Shawn Lane, forever untouchable,Rip
😪Nikola Tesla was the greatest guy of his time. But he was not given the fame he deserved. Same with bucket head, he plays godlike but people loves slash more(for those who dont know him).
The AnimeLife I agree but this applies even more to Shawn Lane who is Bucketheads idol
@@Hhhlll7778 a lot is similar to tesla and buckethead.tesla made more than 700 patents but was never credited same with buckethead with over 400 albums but underappreciated.well shawn lane is best thats out of the question.
He doesn't play music, he plays emotion
The perfect comment...
I agree totally!
Sounds a little psychopathic
It's a noise like Steve vai except x bucket head by 70.
There's always a reason to love Buckethead
thank you, Brian
you have changed my life, forever and ever
thank you, just thank you
you're my brother, and i love you
He's got it all: astonishing technique, great feel, originality, and is a great musician and composer all round.
So underrated... I love this guy. I’ve seen him a couple times live and my dad and I love listening to him shred and play all kinds of jams
i dunno if i was meant to tear up watching this video, but i did. We dont deserve Buckethead.
Buckethead changed my life, he is the master no doubt, nice video as always.
I had no idea of this mans history outside of his incredible talents as a musician. Very refreshing to see someone like Buckethead and his history as a person.
I always RECOGNIZED Buckethead but this really opened my eyes to his genius, thank you for this man
This guy is so underrated,hands down the best in the universe
I’m glad my Buckethead phase was around the time that I was able to catch the Bonnaroo performances and other collaboration shows. A few of his compositions are really magical to me and I really appreciate the themes he continues to develop through his different styles. Some of his material that I used to care less about are my favorite now. Quite a compelling artist all around.
WoW
Me has hecho admirar más a Buckethead de la que ya tenía
His Pike series has the greatest collection of guitar riffs I’ve ever heard
when a person's skill, touches your soul, there's a heart connection
I played Colma at my grand parents 50th. They loved it and asked me to play it again :-D
As one of the greatest guitarist by skill alone. It really hit me when I hear him said that he has always been scared to death to play. Such a real guy. Thanks for the great video man.
As simple as one can put it and as the classic saying goes. BUCKETHEAD IS GOD!
What a beautiful human being.
Every once in awhile, a very special talent comes along. It's even better when it's paired w/a very humble human being. Love me some Buckethead. Shred on!
When I first heard Buckethead as a kid, I always said to myself "I have to be as good as him". Well, 12 years from learning the guitar alone, I'm nowhere near as good, sometimes anxiety still kicks in how not good I'm at it sometimes (especially when it comes to solos).
But then I learned that this isn't a competition, not a game to win, It's all about giving yourself (stereotypes aside). Buckethead is the person I always wanted to be, but failed miserably, always told myself that I'll never smoke, or drink, or do drugs or swear. And I feel guilty for not being able to live up to those statements I made when I was 13.
Buckethead is truly the goat, an easy question to answer when someon asks: "Who's the greatest guitarist?", and one of the greatest human being to walk this earth.
i am guitarist for 1 year, i learned guitar myself. First i learned chords and rhytmes but i just get bored rhtymes and just playing chords. So after that i saw buckethead and said "i have to play solos and make my own solos, melodies" and started learn theories and scales. So I am 16 years old do u have any suggest to me about improvise?
I've been playing for 30 years and I've only recently heard of Bucket Head and I wish I had much sooner!
@@ayberk6722 try to learn more scales and licks however since you are recentrly started i recommend to play slow melodies in improvisation you have to know that speed is nothing without thefeeling give it a try as you improve you may beceome shredder.
@@nicolasconde8133 oh 8 months later thanks for message, i learned scales and (IDPLM) mods, studied a lot of legatos... Im good for now and Im studying already. Thanks for ur message again
Not to be dramatic but I would die for him
The Halloween in May 2019 concert was the most jaw dropping live performance I have *ever* seen. I just remembered now that I saw him swing his guitar behind him, catch it in one hand, and was still playing it behind him, before throwing it back around in front of him and catching it again with one hand and played flawlessly.
Buckethead is just Keanu Reeves’ alter ego
Or he's Keanu Reeves on stilts...
You're all breathtaking!
Keanu Reeves has a band “dog star” and they’re pretty boring😅💦
I was tearing up near the end there... Great job on this video, and long live Buckethead!
Buckethead is more than guitar player
He's a lifestyle 🖤
I would love to see buckethead in person once in my life. Warm greetings from Indonesia. Stay disembodied.
Saw him live and last year and was amazed. Was a great time. I have seen some of the shredder lists but like most people say it depends on your criteria - speed, technique, style, feel, etc.... I love speed and some of the lists maybe focus differently including writing popular songs or being with popular bands which is of course a big deal. However you look at it he is amazing. I saw Andy James live 2 years ago and was in disbelief of his speed as well. Thanks
Really great work! What a great compilation, you hit every point. Job well done! Thank you.
That's fantastic! You converted me into a fan without even having listened to his music. Thousands of songs yet to come...
Wow! That was awesome to watch, one of the most comprehensive and detailed reviews on this master amazing guitarist and person. Thanks! Great video!
In here before Natternet
Woo!! I was busy watching Ad Astra in the cinema haha Woo!!
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make it!
I’m a lifelong guitarist and been a big fan of the Bucket since Praxis. Thanks for this. Lots of details I haven’t seen covered before. Great job with video editing, etc.
I’ve listened to buckethead for years and never knew he was so humble and down to earth. It is crazy to see any one with that type of talent and not have an ounce of cockiness in them. PSA: Buckethead has had ten of his “most important guitars” stolen and needs help finding them or similar instruments. There are a few rock magazines that have posted stories about the theft if you want more information to help.
Awesome video. I love your commentaries BD. Also wanted to mention, your video on Buckethead versatility and time signatures could include a few extra tracks. While Buckethead definitely prefers to rock out in common time, he does briefly switch to 3/4 time near the end of Oakridge Cake. And he also plays with the time signatures in the intros to The Moss Lands and Ramp Ahead. Just FYI. Of course, I'm still working my way through his plethora of songs so I'm sure there are other examples.
Keep the videos coming man!
I only know one of his songs and I love him even more now.
Superb video man thanks for making it 👌🏻🏴🍺
Such a great artist. Love his songs....I would like to see him live someday.
Grettings form Argentina BD, you're doing great!!!
Nothing but facts for 12:33 long
Buckethead is my favorite person after Jesus
im not convinced he isnt jesus
U have good taste. Good dudes.
Lol
Best comment ever
May he have better health and a happy personal and professional lives.... Many things I didn't know about him I learned by watching this video.... What an inspiring person.... Thank you for this video.... Thank you BH
Buckethead music literally leaves you in a trance and you can’t stop listening even if it’s 30 minute song. On top of that His instrumentals are incredible therapy for hard times especially break ups. His music speaks to me
Buckethead manages to throw so much emotion into his songs without even saying a single word. He's the reason I put a killswitch on my guitar, he's such an amazing guitar player, such a unique player, he's emotional but silent, and manages to kill every solo he plays. Honestly, as a guitarist I wanna be a mix of Buckethead, Tom Morello, and Synyster Gates, and as a person I also look up to Buckethead, I wanna be a nice guy and just be as chill as possible
Great video, love Buckethead, Hi from Scotland.
He’s certainly a rare beautiful human being, I’m lucky enough to have shaken his hand, twice.....🐓
His hand squashed yours didn't it?? He's got big hands.
I would love to see him at a super bowl appearance 🙏
Never happen tho i bet. Wood be a gift from God a real treat but we will never see that. People r missing out when they do not experience what is buckethead is is isa s🧠💣💢💥 error error, overload........🤦♂️
He's way too real for that. It might go against his values of sharing his talents with the world if he's playing a 10 minute show with an unplugged guitar to a pre-recorded track at a venue where tickets start at $3k a pop and sponsored by a beer company. Still be pretty sweet.
Wwbd? Lol
4:13 Thank you for sharing some of my fan arts !
Great video that I would recommend to any person I will ever met in my entire life wawee
Which one did you create?
@@AaronJacobSnow middle top, bottom left, not my best art tho
Those were my favorite. 👍 Really amazing work.
Great video about a great guy. Thank you for this. Really inspiring
Buckethead is the Goat , he's the god of guitar and no one can change my mind , I absolutely love him he's insanely skilled and exceptional
an incredible guitarist & one hell of an enigma...
Im such a tool...all these years and i just found him. I grew up with satriani...thank you for this video. I have many weeks/months ahead of me to catch up 🔥
Subbed ☮️
Amazing video man- if you dont hear it enough- good job-i really enjoyed this.
On point 73, you are absolutely right. Listening to the albums like Colma or Electric Tears I can't even count how many times I cried.
Hi from Colombia amigo, great video 🎸🎸 Buckethead 🎸🎸🔥🤟
The time I saw him was a highlight of my whole life. I knew he gave out gifts, but didnt know he also accepted gifts, so at "Toy Time" I reached in my wallet and pulled out a picture of a Buddha tapestry I kept on me and gave it to him. And he put it on his control pad! He's definitely the GOAT in my book
Being a Guns fan, I heard of Buckethead on "Chinese Democracy" he's Incredible
It's so funny how we can identify him playing so clearly in that album, so sad slash is butchering all of his solos.
Dude. This was AWESOME!
this all just makes me love him more than I already do.
Being a good person with incredible talent, humility, and a truly kind heart puts him on the top of my list.
I didn’t know any of this but now I’m a fan - I wish him love, happiness and great health.
You managed to get me emotional with that last segment, while I was here, taking a shit 😂😂😂, now with tears in my eyes.
Buckethead is literally one of the best person and guitarist in the world! When I first saw him live in concert, I had to travel from the other side of the ocean( I’m from Italy, in Europe) to Florida, and first of all I was so happy to have done so many miles and finally see my hero! So I prepared something like a big piece of paper, to show to him that the love for his music could arrive very far far away! He notice me, and he let me play the Killerswitch for first!! He came directly to me, to lend his guitar over my head! I was dying inside for the emotion! Thank you so much Big B, as always you give the best to all your fans, and we can’t love you more, day after day!!! And thank you also Buckethead Disciple for your amazing videos!
He’s my main inspiration as a guitarist. His tone is so iconic I can recognize it anywhere. So much it can be compared to a human voice’s identity. He straight up plays his heart out.
I found him through guitar hero back in my highschool days and boy am I greatful of that! :D long live BH!
I was lucky enough to see him in philly in 04 with c2b3. Probably best show of my life. There will be a time in the near future when he is acknowledged. Young guitarists are learning of him.
Going to see him live tonight after so many years… the last part in the video actually made me tear up a bit. 💗
Wooow my son show me this person a few days ago..I'm feeling so blessed to get to know his art.. great human... We need more people like him in this world..
Saw him when I was about 13 years old, over 10 years ago. It's still the best show I've ever been to and I've been to some pretty good shows. He absolutely killed it and I got to shake his hand, play his killswitch, and got a Friday the 13th jason figurine from him during the toy shop section. I was so stoked cus he was my idol at the time
the more i learn about him,the more i like him.hats off to you bro.🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🙌
You made me tear up at the end. Kindest regards
That Jordan fact you just said. DAMN *MIND BLOWN* :O
Im 36, first time ever i was at concert and it was a buckethead, best experience ever. He is amazing guitarist.
I seen Bucket in my hometown in 2008 and it melted my heart lol he was in his prime for shredding then. plus a few times since. I want to see him post covid so bad. I remember seeing him on MTV years and years ago too as a kid with GNR.
Thank you Buckethead.Your music is an inspiration to all.We are lucky to have you .Keep rocking🤘
peace✌
Extremely well done presentation. I did one on the history of Guns N Roses on my page so I can appreciate the amount of thought and work you put into it. It was very well laid out and thought out. The only things you really missed were discussing the different aspects of his career such as the early character horror based songs about stuff like the fictional Buckethead Land, talking about how all his albums change style from one to the next, or that besides the albums with various names, he's since been releasing albums he calls pikes. You did however mention those a bit and that they cover various styles. Giving samples of the different styles would also have been helpful for those not familiar with him I know that all if the above though would have resulted in a much longer video.
My 7 year old son this w-e : Dad, can we go to a Buckethead show? Me: Sorry, as far as i know he rarely plays in Europe. Son: Well, lets fly to the US then 😂
That's a smart boy!!!!!!
@RJ mi yeah will probably do it one day. He also has other bands on the list like Vio-lence or AC/DC. Guess the first stop we will do toghether will be a Death Angel show when they are around the next time. Since my Kids know Mark, i probably have to take the 4 year old sister to the show as well 😂
As a fan of music I really like his style and the sound he has. His guitar playing in Chinese Democracy is very unique and rocks. He is respected by guitarist so that should mean alot.
I have seen Mr Head. Agree with you - he is totally underrated and I’ve always made the same argument that you’ve made….. he could be considered the greatest of all time. He is amazing on many instruments and his technique is insanely unique!! Great Vid!!
I saw him live about a year or so ago. Truly amazing! I’d like to hear what he could do with black metal. It would be interesting as hell
I just subbed. Great channel.
Excellent video on Buckethead
Agreed.
For what it’s worth he’s on mine.
For 20 years.
Love his Bootsy & Bernie phase.
All of it is mind melting
Ive listened to both buckethead and maximum bobs interviews it would be so awesome if they did one together out of character like that just bob and brian....getting bits and pieces of the history from both of them is rad but just hearing them both tell it straight up and together would be amazing
I didn’t know anything about bucket head. I am in awww with this man. A true man! The world needs more men like him!
It's kinda cool that not everyone knows about him. I first saw him in a video of him shredding in some hotel courtyard or something and just loved it.
I saw him while he was with G n R. I don't think I took my eyes off him for the whole 3 hours they played. He was mesmerizing.
Got a chance to do a presentation on buckethead and tmo I will be presenting quite a few of these fact to my class 😎
Buckethead has been a huge influence on me since day one of my guitar playing
He's amazing!!!
i was at a show first row and someone gave him a basketball figure and without seeing his face there was so much emotion shown...buckethead you are unlike anyone and we love you dearly.
please read!
iv'e been a BH fan now since 2006, iv'e produced lots of buckethead artworks, oil paintings, and he has been one of my guitar hero's when i used to play. Thank you for making these videos, someone had to do it and you do an amazing job at really showing who BH actually is....thank you!
if you wanna see any of my BH oil painting you can check them out of my channel.
although those ones are old, ive newer pieces on my instagram of the same name.
shaindarkart.........BUCKETHEAD FOREVER!!!!
I recently started listening to him while going through a rough patch in life. I have known about him for a long time but never listened. I instantly felt something stir inside me so I have been doing reaserch about him. The more I find out the more I feel he was put in my life for a reason. I have always liked “weird“ bands like Primus and Gwar but his music just hits me differently and finding out what a great person he is makes me like him that much more!!! Rock on Buckethead🤘
