It's Official: Buckethead Out -MTV

After fours years as a member of Guns N' Roses, during which time the band canceled more shows than it played and released no original material, guitarist Buckethead has had enough.
The eccentric musician, who wears a fried-chicken bucket on his noggin and talks only through a hand puppet, has walked out before but has always returned to the fold. This time, however, it looks permanent. At the end of last year, Buckethead became fed up with Guns' inability to complete an album or tour and stopped working with them, his manager said.
Buckethead appeared on the green carpet at the Grammy Awards last month and was introduced by Parliament/Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins as a member of Guns N' Roses, but by that time Buckethead had already told Guns frontman Axl Rose he no longer wanted to be in the band, the manager said.
Guns N' Roses are scheduled to headline the Rock in Rio festival in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 30. It is unclear whether the band will have a new guitarist by then. Guns N' Roses' label would not comment on Buckethead's departure.
The guitarist will now focus on numerous projects, including two solo albums ? Population Overdrive and Cuckoo Clocks of Hell ? which are due this summer. In addition, a group called Col. Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, which features Buckethead, Primus bassist Les Claypool, Guns N' Roses drummer Brain (ex-Primus) and legendary funk keyboardist Bernie Worrell, will release a debut studio album this summer (see "Buckethead's Brains On Hold During GN'R Tour, Claypool Says").
The record was mostly recorded last year in Northern California at Claypool's home studio, Rancho Relaxo, and includes the songs "Buckethead," "Tyranny of the Hunt," "The Big Eyeball in the Sky" and "Hip Shot From the Stab."
"There are slices of all of our worlds," Claypool said. "We're talking about four pretty strong personalities, so you can hear Primus with Buckethead flailing over the top and Bernie Worrell's monster tidbits over the top of what we're doing. It's unbelievable."
Half of the Col. Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains album will be instrumental. The band has played various live improvisational shows, but this will be the first time audiences will hear the band performing structured material.
"It's not as chaotic as you would think," Claypool said. "You'd think, 'OK, here come these four guys and they're just gonna start flailing,' but Brain is a very structured player, so everything tends to be very groove-oriented."
Also on Buckethead's plate are shows and recordings with his recently reunited high school band, Deli Creeps, which features a singer named Maximum Bob, drummer Pinchface and bassist Tony.
And Buckethead will likely join bassist Bill Laswell, Brain and others for a show as Material at this year's Bonnaroo festival, which is scheduled for June 11-13 in Manchester, Tennessee, according to the guitarist's manager. The festival may also feature a reunion of Praxis ? a band featuring Laswell, Buckethead, Collins, Worrell, Brain and DJ Flip ? who haven't played together in five years.
Buckethead will start a solo tour Wednesday (March 17), opening for Particle in Austin, Texas. Dates run through April 15 in Atlanta.

I dont really care because I always thought he was a freak and made GNR look bad. But this could delay the album even more.

Its true
As Axl once said: where do we go? Where do we go now?
Looks like GNR died today.

I never bother with news stories unless they have quotes backing it up.
Maybe this was just created to get you to read all about Bucketheads other stuff below coming up?

Yeah, I got the link guys, thanks.
Well, Mysteron - since you seem to have had an inkling that there was some sort of story to this supposed non-story - can you clarify now that its out in the open?
So now you have Axl suing the label, and his guitar player walking.. what's next?.. I, for one, cant wait to watch.. its like a horrific train wreck, i cant keep my eyes off the carnage attempting to crawl out of the wreckage.

MTV news is now fabricating news stories in order to help market an artist? If that's what you're suggesting, then I kind of think you're in the minority on this one.

That's a good point... but MTV isnt blabbermouth. I would be quite horrified if they stooped to such tactics.
Yes, Dark it is like a horrific train wreck

If MTV News said so, I'd believe it. MTV is not going to risk getting sued for presenting something they know to be false.

Sad, isn't it? Its like, you're watching your favorite band fall apart in front of your eyes (again, mind you) and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.
What's next? Brain, I'd guess. Then maybe Stinson? Fortus?
The visual of Axl on a stage with one of those one-man-band rigs strapped to his back isn't gonna be far from the truth if this continues.

I think this is the most busy week in Gnr history i have witnessed on this board.
Goodbye Gnr.
The end is nigh, unless a Guitarist of Buckets caliber can step into the fold quickly or unless Axl has somehow inherited Hendrix's powers.

She said Dizzy didn't make those comments, she doesn't know the status of BH.
Anyway, this sucks. I'm gonna go get a beer.
And yeah, I was very surprised to read this. Guess some of my illusions have been shattered.
