I saw Buckethead last night in Chicago.

The parking lot attendant asks, "Who's playing tonight?".
"Buckethead."
"Who the fuck's Buckethead?".
Anyway...
On the way in, the doorman asks, "Who's Buckethead?".
"An ex-guitarist for Guns N' Roses."
The doorman then proceeds to say "Axl can't hit the high notes anymore."
I'm like, "No way, yeah he can!".
He says, "Yeah, well there's no Slash. blah blah blah blah blah".
I kept walking in. Whatever.
That 1 Guy opened up. If you've never seen this guy (which I hadn't), he plays this real crazy instrument that has triggers all over it or something (it makes a whole bunch of different sounds). He also has pick-ups and guitar jacks installed on various items such as a shoe, and a saw. It was very entertaining.
Buckethead was awesome, and That 1 Guy played on a lot of the songs. I picked up Bucket's new CD, "Crime Slunk Scene", which features that new awesome tune that's been on YouTube. This disc is awesome! It's up there with Colma! Seriously, it's awesome!
Anyway, after the show, we're waiting by the stage exit door for Buckethead, and let me just say that security were complete assholes! They kept telling us to leave, and I kept telling them that we didn't want any problems, and that we were just fans. They finally had the cops threaten us to leave. It was just me and my friend, and our girlfriends. They were throwing a fit over 4 fans! Unreal.
Oh, and before we were told to leave, this suspicious guy came out of the door, and I'm like, "Hey man, is this where the band comes out?". He says, "I don't know... Did you guys enjoy the show?". We say, "Yeah, it was great. What about you?". He said that he didn't get to see the show, because he was working it or something.
My friend says, "That's him! It's Buckethead!". So I just look at the guy (suspiciously), and say, "Buckethead's awesome, huh?". He says, "Yeah, but I think he's Paul Gilbert."
Anyway, I doubt it was him, but we were speculating for the rest of the night...
I got some pretty good pics, and I was recording, but I ran out of recording time. I haven't listened to it yet, to see how it sounds. If it's anything good, I can post it.
Okay, well I guess that's it.

Oh, and before we were told to leave, this suspicious guy came out of the door, and I'm like, "Hey man, is this where the band comes out?".? He says, "I don't know...? Did you guys enjoy the show?".? We say, "Yeah, it was great.? What about you?".? He said that he didn't get to see the show, because he was working it or something.
My friend says, "That's him!? It's Buckethead!".?
Can I ask what the guy looked like? I saw a suspicious looking guy watching That 1 Guys's set when we went to the Urbana, IL show the night before the show you saw. The guy had a hat, glasses, and was wearing biker gloves. He kept touching his face and wiggling his very large hands around a la buckethead. The guy looked like a stereotypical nerd, very shy acting too. When he stood up to shake That 1 Guy's hand after the set, you could see how tall he was....he was very slender too.
My brother and I were spectulating that it might be buckethead...especially since we never saw the guy again the rest of the night.
Btw, what's with all the idiots moshing at the buckethead show. Calm down and watch the master instead of knocking the bejeezes out of each other!

I saw a young Latino guy.? He had long hair, in a pony tail.? He wasn't particularly tall, either.? I really don't think it was Bucket, but he was acting like he knew something...? He did come out of the band's exit door, after all.? We were really drunk too though.
Anyway, the guy you're talking about sounds more like Bucket to me.? On his newest CD (which is only available at his shows for now), there is a picture of a guy with glasses and a goatee, and I'm thinking, "Who the heck is this guy?".? I read later online that this is supposed to be Buckethead unmasked.? I don't know if that's true or not, but he sounds like the guy you're describing.? I'll upload the pic in a few.
As for the kids moshing...? Yeah, that was dumb, but at least they were getting into it and they didn't mosh into me, so whatever.

Yeah, I can see a resemblance between the guy on that CD case and the guy I saw in the backstage area watching That 1 Guy. That only thing I would say is that the guy backstage didn't have the same glasses as that guy, had a very thin goatee, and he seemed thinner than the man on the CD case. But the facial features are similiar.

I was there. Great show. You didn't see Buckethead unmasked, though. He wouldn't risk that at all.

Yes he would and has done so many times in the past...
He even gave an unmasked interview, telling the interviewer he was herbie.

Not in public, mind you. A private interview maybe.

There were quite a few occasions reported where people saw him (or at least a seven foot guy with massive hands and curly long hair) with bandmates or roadcrew, somewhere around the venue. Especially when they are arriving at the place. It would be easy for you to comment on how nobody could know for sure (mask etc). However people close to him would all tell you that he isn't always ?ber-carefull about it, just like they told me.

I don't think he would be hard to recognize due to his size...tall, lanky, huge hands. The hands would give him away to any fanatic.
