(OBHAT) Nobody can beat this...
    #14602155 - 06/12/11 05:30 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

...ever.



Here comes a new challenger! Apparently ya'll niggas weren't too fond of the original video...I thought the group dynamic was interesting and that the shred was supremely skilled, but maybe this will suit you guys better. Post a (friendly) "challenge" if ya want...or bask in the glory of Bucket. Either way, we all win. :stoned:

(Original video)


This is now the Official Buckethead Appreciation Thread (OBHAT). :awehigh:

pffft wrong!  He's good, but Buckethead plays with absolutely zero emotion.  he's just up there playing fast, and you think that's the best guitar work ever? 

Ever heard of Joe Satriani?



Not the best, but definitely better than that noise

3:00 to 3:10, where he goes for those highest notes, you can hear an aggressive and subtle melody streaming through the speed. You may have to listen close to hear it,

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..

Don't get me wrong, I like some of his stuff, but he just doesn't play to my guitar God standards.  That's what I should have said.

Me neither. I dont know what is it. When I hear music like this I think of robots or something. Just a bunch of fast notes in a certain key set to a tempo. Plastic with no emotion.

I can't believe I'm reading this on the Shroomery. Of all the guitar gods, Buckethead is definitely the most fitting to this community. His stuff sounds insane, funky, schizo-psychedelic. If you think Bucket plays with no emotion, you don't know Bucket, that's the simple truth. :shrug: You're gonna tell me the part from 4:15 to 5:05 has no emotion? To me it sounds like an advanced cybernetic being from the future hardcore hallucinating about how amazing it'd feel to finally get revenge on the guy who murdered his parents. :eek:

You can play fast and still play with feeling. There's other emotions beside sadness or calm...Bucket's stuff is typically emphatic as hell, very powerful, and he does it at break-neck speeds if he wants to, which isn't always...the diversity in Buckethead's (HUGE) discography is mindblowing, while still remaining mostly instrumental guitar. I actually really liked the Satriani video posted, but I don't see how it has any more emotion than the OP video. I'd say less, but it's quite obvious both of these guys are at the top of the guitar world and at that point it's just opinion. :shrug:

Since we're on the subject, kind of, would someone mind explaining what they hear in, say, Eric Friesen's playing and not Buckethead? In the Windham Hell song posted, I heard several guitar parts that sound like what Buckethead is doing/has done, the only main differences I noticed were the shrillness of the notes and some major echo or something to create that huge ambiance; I don't see how one warrants "pffft wrong!  He's good, but Buckethead plays with absolutely zero emotion" and the other "" when the divide between the two players isn't that large, if it even exists.

I know it is all opinion/subjective, but I am still curious about what you have to say.

I like ups and downs.  Not just

Please don't take offense, it's not like I am completely ripping on him here.

You know how Opeth goes from one extreme to another? Granted I haven't heard every song bucket head has made so my opinions stay with me.

The title of the thread is "nobody can beat this" and shows a video.  Which, I did say he is good, but that to me isn't the best of the best.

Are you guys saying that Buckethead is the best guitarist on the face of the Earth?

I'm not saying he is the best. If you like ups and downs, try 'Buckethead - Lurker at the Threshold'.

what is happening to my ears @ 6:20? :crazy2:

Is the rest of that album like that?  that was pretty chill.  I will take back the ignorant comment on he "plays with zero emotion."  But the song in the OP video was just lacking imo. :shrug:

That song though was definitely different from what I've heard.

find me another song that's similar by him please

Its the atmosphere of soaring over snow capped mountains that I like in Windham Hell and I only posted it cause I thought someone may appreciate it.  Not that its necessarily better then Buckethead, even if I far prefer it.  As for Buckethead, he's talented guitarist, but he doesn't really capture my attention.  Perhaps on a technical level, there may not be much of a divide, but on an atmospheric/emotional level they cover entirely different ground.

Eh its all opinion. No hard feelings. Being a musician myself, I can definitely appreciate what he does. The guys obviously way fucking good at guitar and most likely understands music to a point I couldnt even comprehend. Im just sayin...not my thang

Hmm, honestly, yes, I am. His sheer technical skill, emotional depth, speed, complexity, headiness, variety, HUGE discography, both solo and too many efforts with other guitarists to count, and just overall conviction is astounding. By that I guess I mean his songs really resonate with me; he really feels it and means it every time.

I listen to A LOT of Bucket. Like 80-90% of my music time since discovering him last year. :lol: If you saw my most played list on Winamp, the top 50 or so are all Bucket and some songs 100+ listens. They're works of art; they don't get boring. It would be like getting bored of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. :shrug:

It helps to be stoned and play it through good speakers (this is the Shroomery, I'm sure most of you guys aren't underage and got this covered. I hate showing Buckethead to someone and they play a song through some shitty laptop speakers and declare it sucks. You can't ever hear half the notes or the background melody, FFS. :facepalm:).

Here's some more emotional/varied work by Bucket, since you requested it. Both of these are from a band he was in called Thanatopsis. All the guitar is by him, of course. To me the three Thanatopsis albums are Bucket's finest, most inspired work.  There's only 3 albums, each sounds fairly different from the others, and they're all masterpieces all the way through. Go get them! :rockdude:

From the second album, Axiology:


Perhaps my favorite Bucket song, from the third album, Anatomize:
