[Pingouirose]

You must be registered 

[Saul]

You must be registered 

Correct.

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Will somebody cut and paste the interview?

[nesquick]

come on put it here, nobody wants to register on a bh board

[Saul]

come on put it here, nobody wants to register on a bh board

Nice.  Real classy. 

[jarmo]

come on put it here, nobody wants to register on a bh board

Nice.? Real classy.?

Well, a bit.

But it's also really classy way of getting members to a board by making them register to read an interview don't you think?

Could somebody just copy the GN'R mentions so that we don't all have to register to read them?

come on put it here, nobody wants to register on a bh board

Nice.  Real classy. 

It's nothing personal, we're all just too lazy and rather not have to put any effort into finding this type of stuff

[nesquick]

come on put it here, nobody wants to register on a bh board

Nice.? Real classy.?

ahh sorry but that's not against you don't worry
it's just I don't want to register on a bh board. Try to understand some people are not fan of him.

[vicarious existence]

it's probably better if you actually register for the board since the original post contains a bunch of images and stuff... anywhere here it is, courtesy of Saul...

Heres a treat for you guys. Longtime Buckethead friend and drummer , Brain , sat down and spoke with us recently. Ever the wise cracking funny guy , Brain simply cant resist cracking some funnys as he talks about Buckethead , GNR , C2B3 and his influences ... enjoy!





BH.TK - Brain , 1st off we are honored that you would take time to do this interview
with our community! Each and everyone of us are huge fans from your work with Buckethead!
Do you actually follow and track your fanbase with tools like the internet , websites and
message boards?

Brain - Not really. I don't like to read. I like to look at pictures!





BH.TK - Could you tell us a little about yourself? Where did you grow up and how did you
get into drumming?


Brain - San Jose Ca. Got into Drumming so I could get into parties for free.


BH.TK - On the subject of websites and the internet again , I was told I have to ask what is up with
Brainshreds.com? Can we expect a full out site in the future?


Brain - Working on it right now. Should be done next month.


BH.TK - Ok , if you dont mind I'd like to get some Buckethead questions in , 1st ...
How did you meet Buckethead?! What brought you guys together? And do you realize that you and Buckethead gel better then any other musicians you both have played with?! (apoligies
to pinchface and larry lalonde!)


Brain - I met Bucket at a graveyard called Colma in 1992 he was soloing on some graves. We became friends and started jamming right after that.






BH.TK - Do you have any memories or cool stories about Buckethead you could share with us?


Brain - I think he's still soloing on some graves right now.





BH.TK - Ok , it seems everyone wants to know this .. will you , Bucket and Butthouse ever go into the studio and give us a studio album? How about another tour?! Most every Bucketfan worth it's weight in skinpiles has most of the 2004 bootlegs of you guys! Some people think
you guys are one of the best power trios of alltime , myself included!


Brain - Nothing now. I think house is woking full time at some porn shop in Oakland.






BH.TK - How about c2b3 , any plans for a follow up album?


Brain - No. We decided to only do that one album.






BH.TK - Any upcoming projects with Bucket that we dont know about?


Brain - New Praxis. Due out in September.





BH.TK - Have you heard the rumor of Bucket and System Of a Down singer Serj recording together?
Any thoughts on this? Do you think Bucket may be aiming for mainstream reconigtion?


Brain - Serj is on the Praxis. So is Mike Patton, Masta Killa from the Wu-Tang, Iggy Pop, and many other freaks.


BH.TK - Speaking of mainstream , Guns N Roses , it was fun while it lasted it seemed.

Do you expect the music he recorded for the album to stay on the album? Most of us worry
that we will never hear what he recorded for the album.


Brain - So do I.





BH.TK - Are you excited to go back on tour with GNR? Will it be different without Bucket?


Brain - Yeah if they give me a bucket of money.



BH.TK - You and Bucket have played countless shows together in so many places around the
world , any favorite shows or citites come to mind?


Brain - All the ones were I got paid over 2G.



BH.TK - Everyone raves about the Cuckoo Clocks Of hell album! Can you tell us a little
about the recording. Rumor is some of the drums are "real" and some are programmed.
How much did you actually play on?


Brain - All of it. I was trying to learn double bass.


BH.TK - What are your thoughts on drum programming and it's future?! Is IT the future?


Brain - It's cool. I program myself.






BH.TK - Are you going to tour with Tom Waits? How was he like to work with?


Brain - He was awesome! He was awesome! He was awesome! He was awesome! He was awesome!


BH.TK - Do you remember your "one stroke done" comment?


Brain - No


BH.TK - Everyone is interested to know who you rank as your top 5 best drummers?


Brain - Buddy Rich, Tony Williams, Denardo Coleman, Bohnam, and Keith Moon


BH.TK - Have you seen Bucketheads Secret Recipe DVD yet? Do you know you are featured on it alot?!


Brain - No. Do I look cool.

BH.TK - Of Course! With a face like that , how could you not?!





BH.TK - Brain , do you have any current or upcoming projects you wanna let us know about?
You can plug whatever you want here , nows your chance!


Brain - Sure I'm starting a porn DVD series called The Binge Brothers. Look out for it in 2007.


BH.TK - Thanks so much Brain for taking time out to do this! Always know that you have
a ton of very dedicated fans within the Buckethead community. We fully support you 110%
And if this music buisness fails you can always sell mobile homes!


Brain - Love ya guys


BH.TK - P.S , I was told I had to ask if you have a special lady in your life right now?!


Brain - Yes Rocco Siffredi

come on put it here, nobody wants to register on a bh board

Nice.  Real classy. 

Well, a bit.

But it's also really classy way of getting members to a board by making them register to read an interview don't you think?

Could somebody just copy the GN'R mentions so that we don't all have to register to read them?


/jarmo

Getting members to a board? LOL , sure Jarmo. The bucketboard is for registered members because we had a flood of "guests" going there and copy and pasting links to our mp3 downloads all over the net killing our bandwith.

As for "copying and pasting" the interview , I dont remember giving anyone permission to do so? Hmmmm 

  Just kidding.

The only GNR mentions are , Brain says he will tour with GNR again if they give him a "bucket of money"  and when told that alot of fans worry Bucketheads parts may not be on the album he said "so do I"

Thats it , nothing of much interest for you GNR fans. But theres some "Brain" stuff there for B rain fans. 

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

and i always thought matt sorum was an ass.  all this guy cares about is money?  or is he being sarcastic? 

[Thorazine Shuffle]

I have always come to the defense of Brain for people saying that all he cares about is money.  But now I'm starting to feel like he indeed does not give a shit.  Theres just too many interviews now reaffirming that its all about the money.

[Pingouirose]

Thank you VE and Saul ?
Brain isn't very talkative.. I don't know if it's a joke but I think Axl wouldn't like the 'money' thing ?

[Saul]

It is a joke on Brains part. Brain is a very very sarcastic person and before the interview me and him were joking about people taking his money comments seriously. 

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Did anyone of  you even read the whole interview and the NON Gnr parts. He is always joking around. If he was really in it for the money do you think he would really say that over and over again?

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Did anyone of? you even read the whole interview and the NON Gnr parts. He is always joking around. If he was really in it for the money do you think he would really say that over and over again?

Dave, we don't fuckin know.  I don't know the guy personally.  He enjoys talking about Tom Waits but doesn't say anything about Axl.  He's close friends with Bucket who of course quit.  He does talk about the money frequently.  Sure I could be wrong.  But we don't really know now do we?

[ppbebe]

I can't believe how can anyone still take his money comment seriously. People's lack of humour scares me.
Or Do you think we are looking out for his porn DVD series called The Binge Brothers in 2007? 
Who is Rocco Siffredi?

Axl would love his jokes, IMO. Imagine how their conversation would go....

Funny as hell, thanks saul. And vicarious existence!

[Jamie]

He's obviously joking about the money thing.

"You and Bucket have played countless shows together in so many places around the world, any favourite shows or cities come to mind?

All the ones where I got paid over 2G"

I mean even I thought when he made the comments about money in the GnR interviews he might be serious, and may not like Axl or whatever. But him n Buckethead, are like best friends. He's obviously joking when he says them things about BH.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

I can't believe how can anyone still take his money comment seriously. People's lack of humour scares me.

well, it is funny. but he kind does the same joke over and over ...

Who is Rocco Siffredi?

god, my "porn-addict" friend would smack you if he heard that ... rocco siffredi is like modern porno actor god. ... he is italian i'm pretty sure...
i dont watch porn ... not that there is anything wrong with that ...
