I just got back from the Les/Buckethead/Brain signing for their new cd "The Big Eyball in the Sky". It was so awsome, by far the most laid back in-store I have ever been to. There was this extra chair next to Les, probably supposed to be for Bernie, which wasn't there, and Les said to me that it was "The Official Lounge Chair". It was cool because you could go sit next to him in it and get your picture taken, and there wasn't a rush on anything at all. There were quit a few people with their basses too, I saw a double bass actually, i'll post a picture of it when i get them back, it should probably be nicknamed "The Playboy" bass, because it was a double bass, with pictures of hot girls attatched to all of it.
Together, me and my dad got 2 KFC buckets signed by Buckethead, 2 "The Big Eyeball in the Sky" cd's, 2 posters of them all, a Primus CD cover, and a Buckethead CD cover,  . But overall, great signing, great cd, cool fans, awsome time.
did anyone else go, and did anyone else get the cd?

Did you see an average height Indian kid there with a Squier bass that looked like it had been attacked by a paint can? My buddy Hoss went and apparently got his bass (which my guitarist Tyler attacked with paint a couple years back...) signed.

Even talked to Les for a little bit about the Primus show we saw last year during Tour De Fromage. Since they all live in S.F. too, they were like, right on time which was cool. It was well worth taking a day off from school to go meet them! I got the CD signed, poster signed and the pickguard from my Squier Strat signed. I got some pics so I'll post them once I get them off the camera (few minutes)!
Peace,
Tyler |

We ended up waiting in line for about 2 hours, so I snapped a few pics while we were there. Here is one w/ Stephen and some of the crowd... 
Now, Stephen was talking about the upright covered in pics of women which he nicknamed the "Playboy Bass". Here are a couple pics of it (mods remove them if they are too offensive).  
Here is a pic of the line when the guys arrived and everyone started moving forward (we were pretty much in the front of the line). It went all the way around the corner... 
Here is a pic of Les, Brain and Buckethead along w/ some guy in the "Lounge Chair" that had been talking to Les. 
Here is Stephen getting up from just talking and getting his pic taken with Les. 
Couple of The Man himself!  
And of course Les was doing some doodle on the table cloth, so I had to get a pic of it! 
That's all I have. Stephen's dad has some that he took too, so I guess Stephen will get those up when his dad gets them developed! Truly was an awesome day!
Peace,
Tyler |

He's a really huge Micheal Meyers(sp?/the horror guy) fan.
So he has fun. And I don't think his playing is in anyway related to the bucket, he can bust out the shred like a motha' and write smooth jazz at the same time.
Probably my favorite(or one of) guitarists of all time. |

I recommend Colma, which I still maintain is the best album EVER.
But many of his CDs are in totally different styles, so don't discount him if you hear one you don't like.

Ive heard that the reason he wears the bucket is because he has serious stage fright, but if the crowd cant see his face , then hes ok.
I havent heard anything off the cd yet, is it worth buying??

The whole band is amazing, Les is as good as ever, but he does play a more backing role in most part. I think that Buckethead really shines most in this album, but they are all good no matter what.
