Title: Buckethead's cds
Post by: Assman on April 14, 2005, 06:08:53 AM
Hi everyone. Is there any point in me getting anyone of Buckethead's records? I can't say that I've liked the solos I've heard him play with Guns. They seem to be very technique-oriented and not a lot of feeling in them.. But I did like that part he played together with Robin Finck on Rock in Rio III. Are all of his records instrumental? I like guitar music and also instrumental music.

How would you describe his records and which one would you recommend the most?

ok, you don't want the one with shredding?
i recommend "Population Override" or one of the two from Thanatopsis.

many fans love "colma" and "electric tears". i find them boring to death.

we've reviewed all of his solo albums over at bh.tk in our reviews section. It's a good thing to read before buying as you'll get a sence of what kind of music is on each album.

You can always find something that you like more than the other Bucket records. If you like just ambient sounds, Death Cube k is a good choice. If you like just shredding, Cobra Strike is good.

Buckethead has put out many great records. It just depends on what style you prefer yourself (because he plays almost any style out there). Besides his enormous technical ability, he's one of the best and diverse songwriters out there. Especially his more recent work is getting more and more credits. Even the extremely spoiled Shawn Lane (he could write like Mozart) fans are giving him more and more props as a songwriter. No other living virtuoso out there has his mix of technical ability and writing skills.

-PEACE-


Title: do you own any buckethead albums? and which is your favourite?
Post by: August 18th on June 26, 2005, 10:20:48 AM
i have three of them; Giant Robot, Monsters and Robots and Colma, and i enjoy them all very much. :smoking:
i think buckethead's an incredibly talented musician, and i'm listening to Colma as i type this. that album is so great, the feeling it gives me of calmness and soothing is just incredible. "big sur moon" is pure brilliance, and songs like "nun chaka kata" from Monsters and Robots and "binge and grab" from Giant Robot just shows what an incredible span this dude has in creating music. so which one, if any, is your favourite? 8)

Good luck trying to collect them all...................there's like 3000 cd's he's been on total (over exaggerated but close).

I sold most of my rare ones on ebay and got a damned good bit of money for them especially the original buckethead land tape from Japan.

Hey

im new by the way

just thought i'd say my bit

Personally, i think Day of the Robot, (Buckethead's) Giant Robot, and (Giant Robot's) Giant Robot NTT are the best of the Bucket. Colma is extremley expressive/deeper (i get the feeling of), and sounds great, but not as heavy

Electric Tears, Colma, Population Override, Transmutatis and Anatomize for groove and chill.

Inbred Mountain, Giant Robot NTT, Elephant Mans Alarm Clock (my favorite) and Crime Slunk Scene for hard rocking.

His other stuff (that I've heard) is more chopped up and experimental, so if you don't have a special liking for that type of music I suggest you hold that off until you've heard the other stuff.
