I saw Buckethead last night in Chicago.

[strattao]

I'm jealous - I travel for a living and I was supposed to be in Chicago when this show happened. But I got rescheduled to go to Seattle. I am going to be in Sacramento next week, and was going to go to the GnR concert there and now they have rescheduled it to January!

I'm just missing out on all fronts

Anyhow, thanks for the pics and tunes - greatly appreciated!

"Soothsayer" is the song that I was talking about. 

Here it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpr498vngFQ

It's on his new album, "Crime Slunk Scene", which is AWESOME!!!

[manicstreet]

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.

-PEACE-

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

Yes in public too, mind you....

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.

-PEACE-

Just so you know Buckethead wears a wig so if you saw a guy with long curly hair, it isnt buckethead. Also Sister or whatever your name is, please dont call him bucky it sounds terrible. Could you imagine someone saying Duffy?

Hey kick ass song

[gnrgirl1989]

I saw Buckethead Tuesday night in Knoxville. It was awesome!!!

[Water Payment]

Whatisitman...
Looking at the hands - bone structure and how he was holding the mic stand and the guitar -- I think you right. That very well could have been him - or at least a relative... His mysterious nature is cool and makes it fun to be his fan.

Everybody knows Buckethead doesn't wear a wig.?

I've been a fan of him since the early nineties and have spoken to dozens of people close to him and seen tons of footage where he's Bucketless.

In 10 years do you think He'll strip off the bucket and mask & do an "unmasked " tor like Kiss did back in the day?

Never.

the guy on the actual cd "label" of CSS looks to be most certainly "p-sticks"

[Psychophobia]

everyone thinks he is? paul gilbert.

And they'd be wrong... He took lessons from Paul Gilbert back in the day. And Paul's recent material sounds nothing like BH.

I used to have an old guitar magazine from the late 80s that had a photo of Brian Caroll (a.k.a. Buckethead)? in it, along with a profile of him as an up-and-coming shredder.

**a brief google search later**

Here it is:
// picture removed

Dig the whacky finger-extension!


Edit by Will: Buckethead unmasked picture removed. Please do not post this pic on this board.

[Slipdisc]

You should be banned for being that insensitive and disrespectfull towards Buckethead and his fans.....

Some people have made a conscious decision not ever wanting to see Buckethead unmasked (because it takes away from the mystery for them), yet every once in a while some mental midget comes along and ambushes them into it anyhow.

-PEACE-

[Will]

Picture removed.

Those people you're talking about should contact google.com and live.com as well because that pic can be easily found on any search engine.

[Slipdisc]

True, but the picture exists and there's nothing we or google can do about it. Sad as it is, it will always surface sooner or later. However, in the aforementioned context people will decide for themselves if they want to see it and go look for it (unimaginable, yet fine with me). Here in some thread about some Chicago show, people (including those who really don't want to) are literally ambushed into seeing it.

Anywayzz, thanks for the quick solution!

-PEACE-

Ps.

Board Rules:

Posting pictures of Buckethead without his mask isn't allowed.
Until Buckethead decides to start appearing without his mask, you won't see that kind of pictures here.

No need for such an abrasive and Neanderthal reply. Looking at the link to the board rules that you've provided, I would note that they include refraining from "...personal attacks, slander and/or insults of any kind...", which I would certainly categorize your language as. I'm fine with being corrected as to my actions here, but but if you're going to rag on someone for being ignorant of the rules, the least you can do is adhere to them yourself.

As you say, perhaps 'some' fans don't want to see Bucket unmasked. I'd wager there are just as many, if not more, that are curious as to what he looks like. Posting that photo was hardly an 'ambush', as that would imply that I were out to kill people's enjoyment of Buckethead's tunes and imagery, which wasn't the case. Plus, the photo's been around for awhile, and I've never come across a board before, where posting specific photos (outside of porn) was prohibited. It was an innocent mistake.


Will, thanks for removing the picture, and sorry for my oversight there.

For somebody who?s so into the slander-part of the board rules it sure makes you look silly to be talking about a Neanderthal-reply. Good going there, you've just disqualified you?re whole whiny rant on slander.

I know that when people ignore the board rules as violently as you do (in respect to such a vital aspect of Buckethead), most really aren?t that offended by a true Buckethead fan letting his heart speak (using his third insult in 4 years of membership). After all, a mistake is quickly made when people are passionate about something, as is illustrated by your hypocritical application of the slander rule. The ones who are offended are the ones like you who seem to have no clue whatsoever what Buckethead is about, yet don?t hesitate calling themselves ?fans?.

I'm fine with being corrected as to my actions here, but but if you're going to rag on someone for being ignorant of the rules, the least you can do is adhere to them yourself.

The best way to succeed in life is to act on the advice we give to others. Fact of the matter is that when you would have read the rules and refrained from posting that picture, I wouldn't even have bothered responding in such a fashion. It's a matter of action and reaction. I'm always astonished to see how hypocritical people can respond to something they planted the seed for themselves.

As you say, perhaps 'some' fans don't want to see Bucket unmasked. I'd wager there are just as many, if not more, that are curious as to what he looks like.

Real Buckethead fans are the ones who have read the dozens of interviews the man has given in which he voices how important it is for people to respect his anonymity and make that respect shine thru in their actions. Real fans have empathy for what?s important to Buckethead and the people that support him. His true fans, the ones who really get him, don?t want to see him unmasked at all. All of them would be very sad if the man one day would decide to loose the character and start performing unmasked like all the others.

Posting that photo was hardly an 'ambush', as that would imply that I were out to kill people's enjoyment of Buckethead's tunes and imagery, which wasn't the case.

For many people a big part of their fascination with Buckethead has to do with his total separation of the music and ego & identity of the player, and the freedom (in making music) the man experiences (and expresses) by having an alter ego. They are fascinated by the concept of this mysterious entity who?s music only seems to exist when he's in full uniform. You taking away from this anonymity and mystery, for those who really didn?t expect to come across that picture in some thirteen in a dozen thread about some Chicago show, are indeed ambushing many of his real fans. Just because you can?t place yourself in the mind of a fan who consiously avoided seeing that picture for a decade, doesn?t make it any less true.

Say what you want, but there's nothing that could prepare a fan for that picture, when looking at this thread title.

Plus, the photo's been around for awhile, and I've never come across a board before, where posting specific photos (outside of porn) was prohibited. It was an innocent mistake.

Bullshit.

Many boards on the net won?t allow that picture being posted. Because they understand what it means to Buckethead. The innocence of your mistake is illustrated by the fact that a board rule is dedicated to that picture. Other board's rules and ignorance don't apply here.

-PEACE-
