Axl and BH pics at The Village Recording Studios' site + Axl's new car

[Evolution]

what's in those cigars at the rainbow?


he looks suspiciously relaxed

[Ignatius]

Has Axl found himself a new addcition?

In 3 different pics he appears smoking a cigar

I hate cigars.....

Are the axl and buckethead pics from the same day at the same place? That would be quite a coup if it was true. From axl's statement, it sounded as though bucket had not showed in the studio since the tour ended.

[Lourenco]

Did anyone else noticed Buckethead looks like he got a haircut?

[ClintroN]

no

[Doc Emmett Brown]

No, there were those ones from the rainbow (I think) where he was drinking miller light and smoking a cigar. and there was one from the '02 tour at soundcheck where he was wearing a leather coat and smoking a cigar.

The pics of him wearing that white suit w/ cigar - are those the Getty images of Axl at some event for Led Zeppelin?

Have a Cigar........


Anyone know what kinds he prefers...


On a side note wouldnt smoking cigars irrate his voice and make it worse?

Axl was notorious for smoking cigarettes like a chimney back in the GnR heyday, I have no clue what he does or doesn't do these days, but cigars aren't as bad for your throat as cigarettes because you don't inhale the smoke into your lungs.

But it's sure that Axl's heavy cigarette smoking combined with the constant touring played a big role in the vocal problems he had back in the early 90s, and probably with the vocal problems that were a part of the 2002 tour getting cancelled.

I think the hair Bucket has under the Bucket is a wig. When I saw him in Atlanta and he was 5 ft from me, it looked fake as hell. I bet the guy has short hair! Otherwise, his size, huge hands, and hair real long would be easy to spot without the Bucket and mask. He's one tricky Bucket. ps I have some friends who saw Praxis at Bonnaroo and they were completely shocked and floored by Buckethead. He tore it up.

That's definately different hair in that picture - shorter and browner. I'd got used to the idea that the long hair was real but I think it clearly isn't.

That looks like it might be his real hair. Weird how he could look like anything. He could walk past you in the street and you wouldn't have a clue.

and I wonder about the cross-tatoo on Axl's forearm because some people (maybe on other board, don't remember) were saying that he got rid of it.
just wondering

You don't inhale cigars.. you keep the smoke in your mouth

[Mysteron]

Just to identify the people in the photo;

On the left is Eric Caudieux (pro tools man), the small guy is Dan Monti (works for Village Rec.), then you have Axl, and on the right, as previously stated, is Caram Costanzo (engineer)

[Jizzo]

I really wish I knew when this was taken

[Saul]

geez , I feel let down by you guys. I see you all investigate every small rumor right down to details , make phone calls , write emails etc etc etc but nobody even realizes that the hair on bucketheads picture is from his micheal myers mask?!

LOL , do a quick search for micheal myers pics or mask on google. The hair is from that mask , his hair is tucked underneath.

He has long hair , need proof? Look inside the giant robot NTT album booklet.

I have that michael myers that buckethead is wearing. The light brown hair is from the mask; it's very weak and pulls out very easily. Bucket's hair is tucked underneath the mask and hood.

Well as cool as a grown man wearing a mask and speaking through a hand puppet can be
