The_Sentry Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ha! Now THIS guy....I'd love to see HIS take on what to do with an Epiphone. (Just for oddity's sake on a Sunday!) And who knows....he might be the guy who spends HIS spare time running the Elitist Sweatshop over in the Orient!!! And nah, it isn't lost on me he's playing that Gibson.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2tH4TFpB3E&feature=related (Buckethead feature on MTV) Buckhead, Chicago 2008 Shreddin' And imagine getting guitar lessons...in this manner!

Guitar Chico Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I don't know if I would get a Buckethead signature but I'd be interested to see what it could be like. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know if someone like 'ol Chicken Fingers had a say in those Prophecies, they'd probably have some radical modifications. And just for fun, another vid...

layboomo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 ive tried to really like the guy.. but i CANT!!!! I'm with you what rubbish! He wouldn't know a tasty lick if he tripped over it IMHO! I'd rather hear clapton tune his guitar. OK now dump on me!O:)/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 If I'm not mistaken Buckethead-guitars are all custom builts. Since he is rather tall, he felt regular production guitars would look odd. So his guitars are upscaled. Not just the neck, the guitar as a whole...

layboomo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 He's obviously a great technical player but I don't hear any tasty tones or attempts to create tension and grooves...just play as fast as you can crap.......just dosn't do it for me at all.

layboomo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Oh' date=' I don't know, I always find myself humming and tapping my feet to his noise (not) Well I agree with the noise part! The thing is to do what he does that well you have to be able to play.....he knows alot of theory but the juvenile antics just don't cut it IMHO.......it gets old really FAST. I really do appreciate is ability...but he just pisses it away instead of playing tasty IMO. Maybe I'm just old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcorn429 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 The guy can certainly play but he's no Zak, Randy, Jimi, Jimmy, or Slash. He just seems too strange to really be taken seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Strum Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 You're right, he can play, but what? I mean he's fast, he knows theory, but I couldn't listen to a CD of that or a concert. He's a side show. Talented, yes in his own way, but not something of my taste. I enjoyed the first one or two youtubes and then it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just seems too strange to really be taken seriously.[/quote'] Heh. Granted, I didn't think he would be everyone's cup of tea, but it looks like he's got some interesting mods on his guitar. I couldn't tell if he was using a toggle switch, or if it was a button, and he has an additional kill switch in that guitar. As far as ZW goes....umm....to be fair about this, but hasn't he been descirbed as "Albert Lee on Crack"? He's not exactly known to rest on a note for too long either.

I think it's cool to see people push the limits...I really do..but part of being a mature musician is the ability to sit back and make someone else sound good(the whole what you don't play is just as important as what you do thing)...and then burn on t your solo etc...etc... . I don't see any of that from him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poverty Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 If he did get a signiture, it would be made out of dead penguins and dog poop.

Did anyone read the interview inthe Sept issue of guitar world with him and G'N'R? STRANGE MAN!![/quote'] Yeah, definitely strange. But, that's part of his schtick. And yeah, I think someone like Buckethead, if "consulted" through the mask, would probably have some keen ideas about modifying the Prophecies. (And just to keep torturing you all...hahaha!!!) Buckethead doing the Willy Wonka theme... Buckethead Country gee-tar! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWDX7oIWJao Buckethead plays the blues! Slow Buckethead And jah!!!

Bender 4 Life Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I just want to know what growth hormone he rubbed on those gigantic hands and footlong fingers of his. Dear Lord, If I had his hands, i'd be a millionaire standing waist deep in wolf poop. A Bucket Sig model would be interesting, and probably fun, but i'm kind of doubtful i'd buy 1.

iansmitchell Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I suggested a buckhead sig a LOOOOONG time ago. Basically, it can be a studio with white hardware, finish, dimarzio pickups, 24 fret neck w/bound fingerboard(no inlays), and a killswicth. His personal guitars, are baritones, so that he doesn't look like a giant. Also, the man is a genius, he plays a MEAN slap bass, and could compose a tasty jam, not just a back track for a blazing lead like most lead guitarists. He's a bit off kilter, but way better than overhyped self righteous jerks like zakk wylde, dimebag darrel, and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansmitchell Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Oh, I know he'd sell 'em off the shelves. Particularly if he can land another song in the next guitar hero or rock band, etc. Yeah, bass endorsements would be VERY useful. Flea, McCartney(they make a violin bass, why not snatch the endorsement deal from hofner?), SOMEONE, should be getting a sig bass. Wow, he plays banjo? Well, **** yes, they should make a sig banjo then, With a killswitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
