He's earned a break by now. I would like to see him do more collaborations. I was just listening to a shin terai album for the first time and it was really awesome.

Yeah I can't blame him, I am surprised he made it so long doing weekly epic releases

I haven't gotten into the Shin collabs as much but I really love his work with Travis Dickerson, especially Dragons of Eden. That's up there for my favorites.

I secretly dream of one day collaborating with him, hopefully I get the chance I need to practice and record more first though...

I have slowly binged through a decent chunk of his pikes but still have a long ways to go

Crime slunk scene is epic, I put a few songs from it in the next mix I am working on.

I play guitar mainly and a few other random things, been slacking on recording though. Not in any bands either but I know a few people I might do something with eventually. Been trying to practice more and think about the direction I want to take.

What kind of stuff do you play? We live in a great time for making music, there are tons of awesome free programs. I really need to start experimenting more, I downloaded a couple hundred free VST instruments and effects and have only tried a few

Glad to see too many Buckethead fans! for the last 4 years I've been listening to Buckethead daily ... He's so prolific that I don't need to listen to any other musicians ... This guy is a god! He does everything and never failed to amaze me ... He once even released to pikes in the same day, How is that even possible??!!

He has a great fan base it seems. If you read comments on his albums they are almost always from super positive people often talking about how buckethead has improved their lives

I still like to listen to other random stuff but I always come back to BH, he has so much music you could exclusively listen to him your whole life and not get bored

I play rock / progressive metal but my style has changed and it sounds less like metal. I still use some weird time signatures and weird effects and trippy production tricks when I can. I recorded about 5 songs on my own, but been playing with a band in the past 2 years or so. We've played about a dozen shows and have about 8 or so songs we've recorded (and re recorded).

I use ableton as my daw. Superior drummer is the only plug in I actually use. We switched over to recording live drums, but I still use superior drummer for writing and recording a rough demo to show the band ideas. Basically I'm trying to get my recording / production skills up so I can make pro sounding songs at my house.

If you want to hear our band look up Vya on SoundCloud or Facebook.

Rock is a lot of fun, I tend to gravitate more towards jazz and funk but I love playing with distortion and some metal style stuff prog metal is the best, pretty much the only "metal" I listen to these days and 95% is buckethead I love strange time signatures and effects. One of my favorite things about prog rock are all the abstract timings and sounds.

I will look you guys up after I make some coffee and play with my dog a bit, she is crazy. Live drums really are the best but you can do some cool stuff with digital drums these days as well. I want to get a small kit eventually when I have the space. Home studios can be great these days, I really need to work on my production skills as well.
