mcmurray Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Let me start by saying: yes I know this forum needs another Buckethead thread like a hole in the head. That said, Bucket is experiencing some pretty nasty health problems right now that could mark the end of his guitar playing days. There's an ominous message displayed at his site: www.bucketheadland.com Bootsy collins has stated that he's experiencing skeletal pain all over his body and the doctors have no idea what's wrong with him. So, spare a thought for one of the greatest artists of recent years (whether or not you like his music, I think we can all agree that the man has mad skills, and is currently carrying the torch of musicianship). Get well Bucket, and keep producing your unique music so that we here at the Gibson forum have some fodder for more debates and arguments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Oh man, If I got what his website meant, a Slipped Disk can cause all kinds of Pain! He'll be alright, he just might have to bring a stool, like Skunk Baxter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were hoping that a slipped disc was all that was wrong, didn't turn out to be the case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 So you don't care about Paul Gray dying, but you care so much about Buckethead being in pain? Are you serious right now? To quote you "He's getting no sympathy from me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Yeah, even if you don't like the guy or his playing, it still sucks that he's messed up right now. I'd be so sad if something threatened my ability to play music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruznolfart Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Why am I not surprised at the lack of couth of so many people on here? Birds of a feather? :- j/k As for the op and the ensuing commentary, while I'm not wishing pain on anyone, the fact the Mr. Buckethead is experiencing some adverse health conditions makes him just like every other schmuck out here in the world, more or less. Some folks have to get up and function every day of their life in constant pain; not fair but it is what it is. And beyond their immediate circle of friends and family, no one takes notice. I'm not happy to hear about his pain but I'm not distressed by it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look! Im guitarest! Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Bootsy posted this on facebook or twitter a week or two ago: "Yeah Bucketbots! I talked to Buckethead today he wants to thank everybody for the prayers, hope in 3 wks he be in 'Boot-Cave'" Also, I think he said he's doing better.

Thundergod Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hope he gets better (soon). Him being a good player (and he is) doesn't have anything to do with that, if he sucked I'd still want him to get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
