I think he has a great gimmick, too. He can 'be' Buckethead whenever he wants, yet go out in public and no one knows who he is.

Buckethead really first came to fame from his work with Laswell and a bunch of Laswell produced projects.. From there, he's become more of a mainstream player.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: San Francisco | | | No feeling?.... You've only heard one Buckethead song. Buckethead is one of the most dynamic players alive. His music has some of the funkiest articulation out there. Check out some of the Bucket of Bernie Brains stuff or try to catch him live at some point. Or catch him in the Wavetwisters movie, or some of the Praxis catalog. He might not be for everyone, but to say he plays with no feeling just makes you sound like you don't know what you're talking about. |

| | | | although I do feel on much of his earlier albums he does lack feel, listen to Elephant Man's Alarm Clock if you can get ahold of it, the Lurker at the Threshold suite is amazing. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
