You guys shouldn't be disrespectful no mater what have some self disseplenn and self respect and above all dont disrespect the man enjoy the music or go away please now i think yal should appreciate music this fine and apologise for your rood behavior and show respect from now on do we understand one another Thank you Mr Bucket Head for this fine music some of the best guitar playing i ever heard Your friend Steven E Elliott
No one could... and he still is ...I love his sorrow .. drawing tears out of from the Master within it's a love so pure..... spiritual...for this I am truely greatful
I'm 75 years old and Buckethead has given me a new and glorious reason to live on. His music is perfect and brings out every good emotion in me. I could listen to him forever. He's made other guitarists into mincemeat. All I want to do is listen to him. I'd give anything to meet him. Keep up the good work, sweetie. Since I am a mother, I know how proud your mom had to be of you.
Aashman Vyas I love buckethead and have been a huge fan for ages. But you're right, some of the pikes are not very good. Still, there are amazing things like this too.
Buckethead isn't a person He's an 'Idea'. imagine almost every kids dream to be a rock star yet BH shuns that concept. he could have easily soldout and would have plowed his way a spot as one of the greatest guitarist of all time (which he is anyway) but instead he prefers to feed the slunks and enjoy the simple things in life. i surely admire his playing but his ethics and humble nature given his divine talent is extremely inspirational. no "behind the music VH1" story here, no "well i was real messed up on coke and blah blah"... this story goes "boy picks up guitar and a bucket o' chicken and becomes a God"
Mr.Crab ,just to let you know , i will copy your comment ,print it and keep it in my wallet ,so everytime somebody ask me ''what is up with this buckethead guy'' I can shove it in their face for being dissrespectful , and I couldn't have said it better myself ;) ,cheers
Ender003, If you believe in God, there is only one, and he is the supreme being, and master of the universe. A god on the other hand, is someone like Buckethead, who is supreme at what he does.
There is something different about this guy apart from the technique that makes a huge difference between all the greatest guitarists. There is no doubt that he is a genius and No. 1 in my personal list, but I would also say a great human being despite his complicated personality and weakness (... who does not have one!!!! ....), I think what makes people love him so much, it is also his humbleness, his way of not being a star even if he could afford it. Hope His doing well and taking care of himself.
how do you k n o w all that ? have you ever spent some time with him - hours, even days ? / for almost three decades, starting with my birth, i lived in a country where a strong cult of personality - president - ( who was, b.th.way, elected forever - lifelong ( and he managed to be the comandant of armed forces, too...) ( and a war hero ) and so, since I saw with my own reason how quickly and without being even concious of it, a person starts to believe - and even w a n t s to believe in all the best, and very soon, supernatural qualities of somebody or smth. he put on a n altar.... that s why I immediately get very cautious when i sense even a trace, a beginning of such unhealthy attitude. /. Take care !
Beautifuly said. One jeleous individual once said Buckethead's music is repetitive. I must agree, he repeatedly gives all his energy and talent so we can all enjoy. ✌
@@RR-qw6gu agreed.. Its his signature sound.. It isnt anymore or any less repetitive than any other guitar player... Its just the best sounds the instrument has to offer.. Over and over in different ways... I feel like all good music.. You either love it or hate it... Anyone unbiased would easily agree buckethead is the greatest whose ever played.
When my 13 year old son was killed,buckethead kept my head together. Thank u so much! As a guitarist i have so much respect for you!!! And thank u for helping me
so sorry for your loss./ I cannot imagine the pain. I hope you and your family are pulling through. Find strength in Buckethead. I definitely go to him when I am stressed out or anxious and it seems to calm me a lot.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm also very happy when I hear that Buckethead helps you, he helps me too, always. I hope you continue to get along, such paths are never easy and the same. be strong my dear and stay strong forever, god bless you
As a father, fellow guitarist and fellow Buckethead fan, my deepest condolences I am very very sorry for your loss. This comment truly hit me hard and broke me a little bit I am crying this morning reading this. Brother, may all of life’s healing and blessings come to you. I am so sorry. No parent should ever have to feel such pain. I pray that your spirit heals and know that one day you will be reunited with them again. I’m not very religious but I am spiritual and I promise you, I used to be agnostic and very very logic based only. I’ve had a few experiences and heard many stories that have changed that for me. I still hold to logic, but I am relieved to know there really is a spiritual realm and we cannot see the whole picture of the creation. It’s what keeps me going almost days. I want to see my grandparents and the ones I’ve lost along the way again one day. I’m sure we will one day my friend. I don’t know you, but I love you, and I am sending love your way today. At the speed of light, or even better at the speed of Buckethead. God bless
I just lost my Dad today. It was only natural that I play this album to help me work some emotions out. Do yourself a favor and hug your parents, tell them how much they mean to you, and take time out of your day to spend some quality time with them and have some real fun with them.
Thank you for the condolences. I am better these days. Still hurting, and was diagnosed with anxiety dissorder because of how shaken I was by his loss. But, I'm working through everything very slowly. One day at a time. I forgot I made this comment on this video... I'm glad I did! Thanks for checking on me :)
Kay Kumpf - I actually think about this quite frequently. Running around with my head cutoff with work/life that sometimes I forget how short life is. Most of us are climbing in a panic state, trying to figure out where we belong or who we even are, that we forget to pay attention to the most important aspect of life. FAMILY. Mom and Dad, Brothers and Sisters. After all the bullshit we go through and all the friends we meet, family will always be there. Thank you for reminding me to cherish the moments I have with my family while we're all still here and healthy. To be honest, tripping on psilocybin always makes me want to go home and hug my Mom and Dad for everything they've done for me and all they've sacrificed. I can't wait to be a parent someday.
A year has passed. I hope life is going forward for you. There are many, many beautiful Buckethead songs for all music tastes. Listen to them and it will make you feel (a little bit) better.
You said it! Amen! I went to a Satriani concert. Supremely talented yet I was not moved. Was curious to see other "fast" guitarists. Saw Buckethead doing Nottingham Lace live. Blew me away!! So melodically wonderful and powerful! As fate would have it, he came through Orlando a few months later! Just saw him for the second time a couple weeks ago! Played "It's a small world" and "When you wish upon a star," for our benefit and the fact that he loves Disneyland:)
I only just discovered Buckethead yesterday, and I've only discovered this today. 8th of May 2024, and i seriously can't get enough of this. What a talented guitar player, what a day.
Patience is a lost art. I think it's safe to say that Buckethead is a musical prodigy/genius and that Hold Me Forever is more like a fully realized symphony than merely great Rock and Roll. The way it builds tension throughout, and that it has recurring themes, gives the impression of being created by a classical composer. If Rock and Roll is your religion, Buckethead is a GOD. His mom must have been really special, to have this dedicated to her.
Can you hear that? That's the sound of real love. He evokes all the pain of loss, the unknowing, the flooding memories, the dream, the confusion, the understanding, and through it all the consistent heartbeat that still says: _I will never give up._ And that's just what he does, *he continues on brighter than ever.* I didn't know Nancy, but I know I'd be so proud if he were my son, and no doubt she is. I am.. inspired. Thank you Brian, thank you Nancy, and thank you Mom. ^-^
You wanna hear a song that really evoke the pain of loss and death? Listen to Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. It's regarded my MANY as one of the greatest solos ever written. On ANY instrument. The 100% true backstory is that Eddie asked George Clinton how he wanted him to play the song and George said "play it like somebody just told you your momma died". And Eddie put together that masterpiece you hear on Maggot Brain. It's incredible. Rest in Peace, Eddie Hazel 🙏❤️🎸🍄
Buckethead is a persona that is attached to a person that can shred the hell out of a guitar! The music and the persona defy conventional boundaries of the music industry while the music lifts and touches your spirit. Making it truly special and unique! Buckethead Rocks and rules a guitar.
The year after his parents died (within a year's gap they both passed), he released 118 albums. Yes, 118 albums. He went full mad. I wish he has help in case he needs it. I know I wouldn't be able to survive that kind of a blow.
Teach them the way.... I am smiling.... I wanted to teach. This is probably along the lines of what I would do also. Be sure to post today's lesson and current Pike being listened to for the kiddies! You're an awesome teacher.
I'd love to climb Mt Everest and play that Pike on a GIANT stereo system for the whole world to hear!!! It's too awesome to even explain with words....
+Krabman I will go to Mt Kilimanjaro and face my massive sound system towards yours and synchronize it with yours and someone should be on every major elevation point on earth doing the same. The world would crumble then melt into singularity.
My wife had the best description of him when I showed her the video I recorded at the Exit/In when I went to see him here in Nashville... When he did his Toy Exchange, she watched how he interacted with us in the audience and said "He's a boy, like a little boy" and I said "Yep, you got it!" and thats what sets him apart...He approaches life from the perspective of a Man/Child... His reality is our fantasy
I got a toy from him at his concert. I have it up on my wall with the ticket and wristband. Best show of my life, he truly loves the fans. I sat in line for HOURS to be first in line and he knows it so he gives back, even just little things but its my most prized possession. :)
Tom N Absolutely right :) That'a also why his drawings look so childish: it's like the idea of the link between the poet and the child expressed by Blake in "The Lamb" :)
5ol1dsn4ke I'm not really sure what you are saying here. BH is The Child is The Man....for someone of Buckethead's creativity, musicianship, feeling, this is how one would approach life... Have the creativity of a child but knowing the importance of an adult. No insult intended, I assure you, 5ol1dsn4ke
Tom N I saw him the last 3 times he played at the Exit/In. The second time was with That 1 Guy. I gave Buckethead a dvd of the original Carnival of Souls and he gave me a mask. He's one of a kind.
Dear Buckethead, I feel your humor I feel your sadness I feel your intensity I feel your satire You are a true artist All the layers and textures I can see the paintings in my mind Your tentacles are notes of power You are a product of all music has to prosper The complexity of your mind!! The perfect blend of rhythms and melodys I understand it all I respect all the masters and innovators of wood and wire But you are the GOAT
As a black man from south luisiana who jammed nun but rap growing up bucket has always been a part of my life and hes still my number 1 artist in any genre there is ...that being said buckets music is for everyone ...some hear it as just notes on a guitar but his music truly speaks to u in so many ways that never involve words
As soon as I heard him 4-5 years ago, I wondered why I hadn't heard him before, and I pretty much stopped listening to everyone/thing else. Otherworldly.
It's crazy how even after all these years this is the one that sticks out the most. To me, this is Buckethead's magnum opus. This the best and most important thing he's ever done, and he did it for his mom. Buckethead is such an incredible human
I’ve been listening to Buckethead every day for seven years now. He changed my life. He is my hero. He means the world to me. Words cannot describe how much I love him and his work.
what's wild is I'm sure part of why he does what he does is to show appreciation for fans like you and me. hes able to share his art with many who find inspiration from it. any artist will tell you that's an incredibly satisfying to know people are inspired by your work. I'll never forget his performance when he came to Houston. He handed out little toys and rubber chickens to the crowd. Hes incredible. His last song he played was Nottingham Lace. I'll never forget him either bro.
That’s cool. I knew of him but I didn’t really listen to his music. I just started listening to him about a month ago and I’m totally blown away. Amazing talent
@@hab9609 Hes an example of when you stay true to your art and passion. Not selling out and not trying to placate the popular/mainstream entertainment business. He did fill in for Slash, years ago, when guns and roses were touring a while back. Axel apparently disliked him wearing that KFC bucket on his head, told him to stop wearing it effectively. Buckethead said no way Jose and the rest is history. Hes made over 250+ albums (pikes) and makes all sorts of experimental guitar arrangements. Hes one of the goats not so much for guitar skill, but for his vast array of influential music hes created over the 20+ years.
everybody's saying "oh this is his best work" or "this pike is the best" or "his best album is" and it's like.. I don't think this man has a bad album. He's consistently magnificent everywhere, and all the time.
Some people dislike the experimentation on a lot of the pikes.. I think they all hold their own story. Quality over Quantity, but this is ridiculous. I find enjoyment on every single album. Such skill.
Its like he knows he's going to lose her and he's giving his everything for her and cant finish it all in time. It struck something for me truly insane for no words
Back in 1987 I went to a backyard party (maybe 50 or so guests) in Chino Calif to hear a band called the Deli Creeps with Brian Carroll on guitar (later called buckethead) he was 18 at the time and already insanely talented , I knew I was seeing someone who would become one of the greats of all time , already wearing that same jason mask back then , but no KFC bucket yet , what a show.
Zoran Lozanoski Totally agreed, one of the best ways to prove for those who say that buckethead is just a shredder without emotion, that he is an lake of feelings. This piece is pure emotion from 00:00 to 28:36, you can feel it in every note !
Fingerstyle Matt somebody said buckethead has no emotion? are they fuckin deaf?? that's like saying the ocean has no depth..of course it does! some people KILL me! whos music has emotion? niki manaj?
The tracks on this CD are: 1. "N" 2. "Y" 3. "C" 4. "4" 5. "ev" 6. "er" This guy truly is a genius. I am so happy that I am alive at this time so I can listen to his great music over and over again.
Maybe you'll finish his Discography by your death! Actually that would be something to put on your bucketlist... Listen to entire discography of Buckethead.. Better get to it.. :D
To be honest, I was expecting something sombre with this Pike, the likes of 'For Mom' or 'Watching The Boats With My Dad', but Big B has really given his mum a beautiful farewell with this one, and hats(or buckets!) off to him for writing such an emotional yet inspirational piece to celebrate the life of his mother. Until you're reunited with your parents again, Brian, keep blessing this world with the gift that is your music. Buckethead forever...
"'No one calls me Brian except my mother." via Blabbermouth and according to Ozzy. What a beautiful tribute by Bucket and so many beautiful positive comments in here.
To me, this is Buckethead's masterpiece, I mean, he doesn't just created a nice half and hour song, he made every single second epic and worth listening. It's like every note he plays is loaded with tons of emotions and feeling. Love this man.
The first time I heard this masterpiece I was driving home and I was about ten minutes in. I got home and sat in the garage for another 20 min and listened all the way through. Tears in my eyes. I kept thinking of my late father but I wasn’t sure why. When I read it was dedicated to his mother it all made sense. Music is so incredibly powerful and healing. Thank you Buckethead. Your music has guided me through the darkest chapters of my life and I am eternally grateful.
There have been a few so called guitar GODS and I've studied quite a few in my 60 plus years but bucket head sits on the throne with very few others in the same room.
it looks amazing. but imo, im not a tattoo-person, but i think it'd look better if it's like on the arm itself from the down side. or a bit upwards. or on the shoulder muscle.
I consider myself to be a pretty big buckethead fan, so it's crazy to think that there is still a whole ocean of buckethead I haven't even listened to before. So much gold everywhere :D
Tell me about it :D I've been listening to him for 6 years and I don't think I've even heard half his stuff yet. BH comes second to none in originality, I don't think I've ever seen him get accused of plagiarizing :P
He releases an album so frequently it's hard to keep up, but I've listened to every solo album. The beauty is: I have an entire lifetime of Buckethead to listen to. Over and over and over and over... Never gets old. Still haven't listened to all the collaborated albums. Got some work to do. Those chickens raised him well.
There are no words to describe this awareness of playing the guitar, the harmonic fields he uses, only he transports us to a dimension never seen before. I'm 69 years old and I only listen to Buchethead. God give him many more years to live.
Holy shit. That's all I can say when I hear something like this. It's so earnest, so sincere and so emotional. An utterly moving tribute to someone you know he loved very much. You can feel it. He makes the guitar say more than words ever possibly could.
Lost a Best friend to suicide this year, but have found peace in bucketheads music and is inspiring me to write a piece of music to remember her. Bucketheads community is so nice too!
Is because concepts like good/evil are controversial what with everybody having their own life experiences contributing to their position... But beauty? Beauty is universal.
Update, the song is coming along pretty nicely. Working on the solo a little more and need to find a decent way to record it. Not on the level of Sir Bucket but trying my hardest! Love you all, Alex!
Hey all, update is here. Currently in and out of hospital due to cancer. I have a rough recording of the song on my phone and in my head. It’s basically complete I just need a little more time to heal and find someone to record it with. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the bucketheads x
Funny thing is I don’t see this song as a lament, but rather expresses those happy memories Buckethead had with his mother. Through this song I can picture Nancy Carroll as a loving, cheerful and energetic woman. May she rest in peace.
This man is a genius. Great to see so many positive comments. I'm 70 years old and still cry when thinking of my mom. When I think of being beat 3 or 4 times a day aways makes me cry. Play good stuff- Play Buckethead.
The fact that this pike is dedicated to his late mum tells me that this is the kinda playing that Nancy loved, and for that reason alone i fucking love this album
@@myriahjasmine1341 BH put out a crap ton of albums in a short period of time called his pikes - each numbered so you get an idea of where they fall in the series. This #65 is one of his best!
@@christinawalker8383 i just recently discovered buckethead and im obsessed... Something about his writing style, its not like the rest. I hear beautiful stories in his music. It like gives me feelings of loss and gain at the same time. Like bittersweet..sad yet inspiring, epic, ballot/melodic and hard at the same time. I really have never heard such beautiful guitar and straight touching and emotional writing style in my life. Hes AMAZING!!!
@@myriahjasmine1341 I totally agree! It becomes part of your soul - that's the best way I've found to describe it. I don't understand people who don't get it. It's just beautiful! You HAVE to see him in concert if you can!
Lost my mum in 2019. Been listening to this song ever since then, every few days. It takes me on a rollercoaster ride. The good times, the bad times. The smiles whenever I did something nice. The pride she used to feel when I won a medal or an award for anything, and then, the yelling when I didn't do my homework on time or when I was on the phone for too long. The advice that i so badly need in my life now but have nobody to turn to. When nothing else makes sense in my life, this music makes me want to continue living. I wish I could express my thoughts in words the way you can express via a guitar. Thank you Buckethead for sharing your music with us. Thank you Nancy Carroll for giving us Buckethead.
For reals...who are the 279 soulless zombies who, in what could only be described, as state of complete & utter madness & total loss of sanity actually give a thumbs down to this Pike? Are freakin' kidding me?!?! You notice the Pike doesn't actually end, it just fades away, as if BH had more, even desperately so, to say to his mom....
There have been great prolific composers before Bucket (Mozart, for example), and there will be more afterwards, but such people don't turn up very often.
This is def one of my favorites but there are so many, check out spirit winds, another great one, diamond in the rough or the space between the clouds, the list goes on and on, so amazing
Robert Harnish oh yes! :) I know! ...there are so many...pikes and albums so wonderful!!... Its hard to keep track on his music because he is a machine that never stpos creating music is really unbelievable!!!.,, and I love everything he makes! ...but this pike has a very special and profound meaning to me ....that's why is my favorite! :)
so beautiful. I love my parents I am grateful for having them in my life everyday my dad is fighting cancer always love mom and dad. life is beautiful bucket head thank you for such beautiful music
I actually saw buckethead when he was with guns and at the time thought he was just some weirdo... I just discovered his real music, I watched/heard the interview with his therapist and am so humbled at my poor and judgmental attitude I had. What he can’t express with words he does through guitar so masterfully 🎸
It's coming up on 2 years since my mom died. When I listen to this I can almost feel what he felt when composing this. The constantly racing mind... The fear. The anger. The sadness. Tranquility and complete chaos moment by moment. Everything coming in wave after wave, never showing sign of slowing. Thank you Buckethead for sharing this with us. Thank you for giving me catharsis.
This song is probably of the very best for a musical ear, especially as the technique is filled with a vibrant and soulful sound that is unmatched by most guitarists, Buckethead is of the best songwriters/ instrumentalists.......

A very startling comment, from someone who has listened to a lot of music.
Buckethead may be one of the few artists who can produce an insane amount of Quantity without sacrificing Quality.
Micah Buzan Eh... I'd say he's sacrificed at least some quality...

As a father, fellow guitarist and fellow Buckethead fan, my deepest condolences I am very very sorry for your loss. This comment truly hit me hard and broke me a little bit I am crying this morning reading this.
Brother, may all of life’s healing and blessings come to you. I am so sorry. No parent should ever have to feel such pain. I pray that your spirit heals and know that one day you will be reunited with them again.
I’m not very religious but I am spiritual and I promise you, I used to be agnostic and very very logic based only. I’ve had a few experiences and heard many stories that have changed that for me. I still hold to logic, but I am relieved to know there really is a spiritual realm and we cannot see the whole picture of the creation. It’s what keeps me going almost days. I want to see my grandparents and the ones I’ve lost along the way again one day. I’m sure we will one day my friend. I don’t know you, but I love you, and I am sending love your way today. At the speed of light, or even better at the speed of Buckethead. God bless
what the fuck
My 19 year old son just introduced me to Buckethead, amazingly beautiful music.
I´m 19 as well!
@@AlanSilva-bu1kp I, however, am not.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 How old are you, mate?
I am much older but welcome to the club!!
@@AlanSilva-bu1kp he’s 2 years older than you though haha
Rest Peacefully Mrs.Carroll.Your son is an awesome performer.
Twilight Symphony I guess im not the only Disturbed fan who loves Buckethead :p
And a decent and grateful human being.
Dan Donegan. The Night.
This is honestly some of the greatest music I've ever listened to.
I just lost my Dad today. It was only natural that I play this album to help me work some emotions out. Do yourself a favor and hug your parents, tell them how much they mean to you, and take time out of your day to spend some quality time with them and have some real fun with them.
Im very sorry to hear about your loss. Just checking, hows it going? Lots of love and strength from Germany :)
Thank you for the condolences. I am better these days. Still hurting, and was diagnosed with anxiety dissorder because of how shaken I was by his loss. But, I'm working through everything very slowly. One day at a time. I forgot I made this comment on this video... I'm glad I did! Thanks for checking on me :)
Hope you feeling better by now.
Kay Kumpf - I actually think about this quite frequently. Running around with my head cutoff with work/life that sometimes I forget how short life is. Most of us are climbing in a panic state, trying to figure out where we belong or who we even are, that we forget to pay attention to the most important aspect of life. FAMILY. Mom and Dad, Brothers and Sisters. After all the bullshit we go through and all the friends we meet, family will always be there. Thank you for reminding me to cherish the moments I have with my family while we're all still here and healthy. To be honest, tripping on psilocybin always makes me want to go home and hug my Mom and Dad for everything they've done for me and all they've sacrificed. I can't wait to be a parent someday.
A year has passed. I hope life is going forward for you. There are many, many beautiful Buckethead songs for all music tastes. Listen to them and it will make you feel (a little bit) better.
Only a few in the world were lucky to run into buckethead's music in our lives...
You said it! Amen! I went to a Satriani concert. Supremely talented yet I was not moved. Was curious to see other "fast" guitarists. Saw Buckethead doing Nottingham Lace live. Blew me away!! So melodically wonderful and powerful! As fate would have it, he came through Orlando a few months later! Just saw him for the second time a couple weeks ago! Played "It's a small world" and "When you wish upon a star,"
for our benefit and the fact that he loves Disneyland:)
I only just discovered Buckethead yesterday, and I've only discovered this today. 8th of May 2024, and i seriously can't get enough of this. What a talented guitar player, what a day.
The forgotten trail
Listen
ua-cam.com/video/lGCLc_nbDOg/v-deo.html
I saw him 3 days in row in ct,ri and mass may 2024. I found out about him like 1 year ago. Very special person, I can’t get enough of his music art
Welcome fren
Yep just discovered him the other day, I'm hooked.
I'll play this to my mother-im 62-shes ages and would love this.
My favorite part is when he does the guitar solo.
Well said sir !!!
which solo there all solo,s lol :)

This comment just sums buckethead
@@aidynrobson1790 its probably the best buckethead comment I've seen
“When I play they’re in the music” Brian Carrol- Bucket Head
sad times
This song really rewards you for being patient and listening to the whole thing
I know right?
@markus warner this song never ceases to amaze me
So true
Patience is a lost art. I think it's safe to say that Buckethead is a musical prodigy/genius and that Hold Me Forever is more like a fully realized symphony than merely great Rock and Roll. The way it builds tension throughout, and that it has recurring themes, gives the impression of being created by a classical composer. If Rock and Roll is your religion, Buckethead is a GOD. His mom must have been really special, to have this dedicated to her.
Coming back two years later it astounds me how much there is in just this song.
Favorite song right now. Just so phenomenal…. We are lucky to have Buckethead in our world. Thank you Nancy so much for giving us all Brian
Can you hear that?
That's the sound of real love. He evokes all the pain of loss, the unknowing, the flooding memories, the dream, the confusion, the understanding, and through it all the consistent heartbeat that still says: _I will never give up._ And that's just what he does, *he continues on brighter than ever.* I didn't know Nancy, but I know I'd be so proud if he were my son, and no doubt she is.
I am.. inspired. Thank you Brian, thank you Nancy, and thank you Mom. ^-^
You wanna hear a song that really evoke the pain of loss and death? Listen to Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. It's regarded my MANY as one of the greatest solos ever written. On ANY instrument.
The 100% true backstory is that Eddie asked George Clinton how he wanted him to play the song and George said "play it like somebody just told you your momma died". And Eddie put together that masterpiece you hear on Maggot Brain. It's incredible.
Rest in Peace, Eddie Hazel 🙏❤️🎸🍄
"No one calls me Brian except my mom" - Buckethead
i hear that
Buckethead is a persona that is attached to a person that can shred the hell out of a guitar! The music and the persona defy conventional boundaries of the music industry while the music lifts and touches your spirit. Making it truly special and unique! Buckethead Rocks and rules a guitar.
@@JC-11111 Eddie hazel is also GOD saT
when most people suffer loss, they turn to drugs and alcohol, whereas BH just shreds it out
Why do you speak the truth?? 😟😟😟
True i turn to s deep buckethead song
Yep, he's completely sober doesn't even drink caffeine. True Story.
The year after his parents died (within a year's gap they both passed), he released 118 albums. Yes, 118 albums. He went full mad. I wish he has help in case he needs it. I know I wouldn't be able to survive that kind of a blow.
Leo N.A. Yeah you're right man, I turn to drugs, alcohol, and Buckethead!!!! Works EVERY time 🤣🤙
I am a high school math teacher. I play Buckethead in class during web based math assignments. This one is currently playing. \m/
Teach them the way.... I am smiling.... I wanted to teach. This is probably along the lines of what I would do also.
Be sure to post today's lesson and current Pike being listened to for the kiddies! You're an awesome teacher.
How do the kids react?
Honestly I would not complete my studies as would close my eyes and escape to bucketland.
Coolest math teacher in the world. Sharing the buckethead saga with youngsters. Thats awesome.
I usually hate maths but with this music I think it could be easy
kesin yaşanmıştır bu
Im 50yr and i just discovered his music. I'm blown away. How do you get this good
This is not something you can get good at. There has to be the talent to do this, first. Then you just...work. I think Bucket just lets it flow...
I'd love to climb Mt Everest and play that Pike on a GIANT stereo system for the whole world to hear!!! It's too awesome to even explain with words....
It would be better if you went on top of Pikes Peak in Colorado and smoked a bowl while blasting this.
aicMadSeason Sounds great too! I'd go with tea, though!

+praxis veritatis Yall are all doped up on something.
the snowdawg Hahahaha
I keep coming back to this Pike
Me too. Again,again and again.
So do I! For at least 3 years now. I realized it was time for the digital download tho. Well worth the money for these 30min of conveyed emotions.
Same dude!
Same
Me too
My wife had the best description of him when I showed her the video I recorded at the Exit/In when I went to see him here in Nashville... When he did his Toy Exchange, she watched how he interacted with us in the audience and said "He's a boy, like a little boy" and I said "Yep, you got it!" and thats what sets him apart...He approaches life from the perspective of a Man/Child... His reality is our fantasy
I got a toy from him at his concert. I have it up on my wall with the ticket and wristband. Best show of my life, he truly loves the fans. I sat in line for HOURS to be first in line and he knows it so he gives back, even just little things but its my most prized possession. :)
Tom N Absolutely right :) That'a also why his drawings look so childish: it's like the idea of the link between the poet and the child expressed by Blake in "The Lamb" :)
5ol1dsn4ke I'm not really sure what you are saying here. BH is The Child is The Man....for someone of Buckethead's creativity, musicianship, feeling, this is how one would approach life... Have the creativity of a child but knowing the importance of an adult. No insult intended, I assure you, 5ol1dsn4ke
Tom N I saw him the last 3 times he played at the Exit/In. The second time was with That 1 Guy. I gave Buckethead a dvd of the original Carnival of Souls and he gave me a mask. He's one of a kind.
Carl H So cool that you have had the honor of seeing BH 3x! I hope we will once again experience the genius that is Buckethead here in Nashville!
the more I listen to him, the more I realize how transcendental his music is
Right
very.
And now I feel BH's pain. I've just lost the funnest, funniest, most generous, happiest person ever. I love you, Mom 12.8.15 :'(
+Tom N Then 51 is for you
Bless you brother! Peace be with you. Everyday is a day further from when you last saw her, but a day closer to seeing her once again. Stay strong!
+John Gardner Pike 51 is really fucking awesome (my favorite), but Pikes 17, 65, 73, and 78 are also fucking great.
Sorry for your loss mate... I hope to get a bit of time in before I feel your pain, but I feel for you. Hopefully this album brings you some strength.
Stephen Snow Such nice thing to say. My faith in people has been restored. Good man.
Dear Buckethead,
I feel your humor
I feel your sadness
I feel your intensity
I feel your satire
You are a true artist
All the layers and textures
I can see the paintings in my mind
Your tentacles are notes of power
You are a product of all music has to prosper
The complexity of your mind!!
The perfect blend of rhythms and melodys
I understand it all
I respect all the masters and innovators of wood and wire
But you are the GOAT
Exactly! Cheers
👏 ✊
how could someone create a twenty eight freaking long instrumental and every second has so much feeling in it
It's called being bucket head
28 minute*
Check out his other 200+ albums
That's what genius is...
It's called love.
As a black man from south luisiana who jammed nun but rap growing up bucket has always been a part of my life and hes still my number 1 artist in any genre there is ...that being said buckets music is for everyone ...some hear it as just notes on a guitar but his music truly speaks to u in so many ways that never involve words
Zen
It's amazing, magical, and goes beyond words...universal. Anyone who listens can feel him.
As soon as I heard him 4-5 years ago, I wondered why I hadn't heard him before, and I pretty much stopped listening to everyone/thing else. Otherworldly.
I would retire after this song😆. There's nothing left over to reach musically. He has reached the holy grail of a composition. Thanks dear BucketGod!
I’m hearing ya! It’s pretty fkn unbelievable eh!
I think he has essentially not topped the cacophonous grooves which he laid down in this song.
It's crazy how even after all these years this is the one that sticks out the most. To me, this is Buckethead's magnum opus. This the best and most important thing he's ever done, and he did it for his mom. Buckethead is such an incredible human
It is. Pretty sure it's considered his best work. Period.
Very well put, I completely agree
Long live Buckethead
Pikes #13 is his magnum opus.
absolutely his magnum opus. I come back and listen to this every now and then. Easily my favorite Pike. Maybe my favorite song of all time.
Agreed. If I could show one album it would probably be this one
I’ve been listening to Buckethead every day for seven years now. He changed my life. He is my hero. He means the world to me. Words cannot describe how much I love him and his work.
what's wild is I'm sure part of why he does what he does is to show appreciation for fans like you and me.
hes able to share his art with many who find inspiration from it. any artist will tell you that's an incredibly satisfying to know people are inspired by your work.
I'll never forget his performance when he came to Houston. He handed out little toys and rubber chickens to the crowd. Hes incredible. His last song he played was Nottingham Lace. I'll never forget him either bro.
That’s cool. I knew of him but I didn’t really listen to his music. I just started listening to him about a month ago and I’m totally blown away. Amazing talent
@@hab9609 Hes an example of when you stay true to your art and passion. Not selling out and not trying to placate the popular/mainstream entertainment business.
He did fill in for Slash, years ago, when guns and roses were touring a while back. Axel apparently disliked him wearing that KFC bucket on his head, told him to stop wearing it effectively. Buckethead said no way Jose and the rest is history.
Hes made over 250+ albums (pikes) and makes all sorts of experimental guitar arrangements. Hes one of the goats not so much for guitar skill, but for his vast array of influential music hes created over the 20+ years.
@@robosing225 Oh that guy is extremely skillful.
You are a leyend to have this kind of music taste.
I feel so safe here. I can just close my eyes and have no worries anymore.
everybody's saying "oh this is his best work" or "this pike is the best" or "his best album is" and it's like..
I don't think this man has a bad album. He's consistently magnificent everywhere, and all the time.
all albums no words best shit...
Correct!!
Some people dislike the experimentation on a lot of the pikes.. I think they all hold their own story. Quality over Quantity, but this is ridiculous. I find enjoyment on every single album. Such skill.
Guess how many albums he has.
Coz it's love.
Its like he knows he's going to lose her and he's giving his everything for her and cant finish it all in time. It struck something for me truly insane for no words
There's definitely anger in this combined with intense love for his mom. You can hear him crying out for her
Ok... this comment hits. I hear it.
*THIS SONG SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED "HOLD ME FOREVER"*

This is a piece of art that no other human on earth can repeat....R.I.P. Ms.Carroll
the fact that this is an homage to his mother is amazing
You can hear all the emotions he felt when his mother passed away in this album.
Everyone else is either metal, rock, etc... whereas Buckethead is absolute chemistry.
BUCKETHEAD a genre on his own!
@@levisalvini4110 yes
Possibly even Alchemy, , , his music is in it's own realm for sure, genre's boundaries don't exist there
@@levisalvini4110 yes
he is at a higher level. Master.
Back in 1987 I went to a backyard party (maybe 50 or so guests) in Chino Calif to hear a band called the Deli Creeps with Brian Carroll on guitar (later called buckethead) he was 18 at the time and already insanely talented , I knew I was seeing someone who would become one of the greats of all time , already wearing that same jason mask back then , but no KFC bucket yet , what a show.
WOW!
So Brian was born around 1969. Wow!
You lucky SOAB!
@@DanzigFan-vq3zf 1964.
Michael Myers mask, but who cares what mask it is
Everyone asks "Why does Buckethead never speak?"
He does. THIS is how he speaks to us. Guitar is his language.
He speaks through herbert / head puppet
Facts
Whats beautiful is the language of music is universal and regardless of what language anyone speaks they can understand this song
Adding vocals to music was a mistake anyways!
Be silent and the earth will hear. Be loud and be ignored.😅
This album is truly a masterpice, something indescribable about it and i posted here, i hope to be the world's most listened !
Thank you
Buckethead is God

I am from Macedonia, Kicevo town.
Zoran Lozanoski Totally agreed, one of the best ways to prove for those who say that buckethead is just a shredder without emotion, that he is an lake of feelings. This piece is pure emotion from 00:00 to 28:36, you can feel it in every note !
Fingerstyle Matt Totally, I've heard this for first time today and it makes me cry right now
Fingerstyle Matt somebody said buckethead has no emotion? are they fuckin deaf?? that's like saying the ocean has no depth..of course it does! some people KILL me! whos music has emotion? niki manaj?

Actually that would be something to put on your bucketlist... Listen to entire discography of Buckethead.. Better get to it.. :D

HOLYSHIT! that is a great name for "best of" of BH "the Bucket list"
I thought it'd be clever, :) I think that'd be a great name for a Best of. though it better be ALL his music since he's so great!
Buckethead is the Mozart of guitar.
True
Mozart?? jaja... Buckethead is the Mozart Bach Bethoveen Rachmaninoff prokofiev etc etc etc of guitar.
Lizt, Chopin. Todos y mas.
BrunetteTargaryen well Paganini was the violinist of hell so wouldnt buckethead be the guitarrist fromthe coop
take everything thats good in music and thats buckethead
To be honest, I was expecting something sombre with this Pike, the likes of 'For Mom' or 'Watching The Boats With My Dad', but Big B has really given his mum a beautiful farewell with this one, and hats(or buckets!) off to him for writing such an emotional yet inspirational piece to celebrate the life of his mother.
Until you're reunited with your parents again, Brian, keep blessing this world with the gift that is your music. Buckethead forever...
Tweekend27 first time I heard this Pike it gave me chills, once I found out it was written for his departed mother it brought tears to my eyes
bravo for that
Probably the sickest pike of all of them 🔥
quite possibly the best guitar work ever
Absofuckinglutely - nothing compares to be honest.............
At 15:00
damn this is a beautiful song. if this doesn't make you feel something you're dead inside.
The beautiful part is that you will feel something even if you haven't felt anything in ages.
Well guess I'm dead. Although I highly appreciate his melodies, groove and technique

What a beautiful tribute by Bucket and so many beautiful positive comments in here.
Only just started listening to Buckethead at 67 years of age, I'm blown away, looks like this is my go to guy when I finally reach the rest home...
To me, this is Buckethead's masterpiece, I mean, he doesn't just created a nice half and hour song, he made every single second epic and worth listening. It's like every note he plays is loaded with tons of emotions and feeling. Love this man.
Yes he's thebest since page and hendrix so much soul emotions in his beautiful playing God bless buckethead!
This is amazing but sonar rainbow takes that spot for me
@@armoblood7291, this, sonar rainbow and soothsayer are my favourites. Fantastic musician
The first time I heard this masterpiece I was driving home and I was about ten minutes in. I got home and sat in the garage for another 20 min and listened all the way through. Tears in my eyes. I kept thinking of my late father but I wasn’t sure why. When I read it was dedicated to his mother it all made sense. Music is so incredibly powerful and healing. Thank you Buckethead. Your music has guided me through the darkest chapters of my life and I am eternally grateful.
This is not just a melody, its a journey, his journey till his mom left, i mean how can anyone not like this.
Lord thank my uncle for showing me this music before he passed!

in another world.
Beautiful music man.
Thank you! Very well said! They are on a higher plain! And we shall join them one day!!! 😊
I listen to this when I am down. It helps tremendously. Thank you Mr. Buckethead. Absolutely beautiful
I have a tattoo of Buckethead on my hand and so many people ask who he is, I just say the greatest guitarist in the world today!!
I would slap them with that hand
FEEL THE POWER OF THE BUCKET!!!
In history, who could be better? No one I have heard and I am an old guy who loves guitar.
Fucking dope
it looks amazing. but imo, im not a tattoo-person, but i think it'd look better if it's like on the arm itself from the down side. or a bit upwards. or on the shoulder muscle.
I cried hearing this. Beautiful
I consider myself to be a pretty big buckethead fan, so it's crazy to think that there is still a whole ocean of buckethead I haven't even listened to before. So much gold everywhere :D
you wont get through all of it, no one has.
makeithurtful Only Buckethead himself has swam that sea.
I couldn't agree more.
Tell me about it :D I've been listening to him for 6 years and I don't think I've even heard half his stuff yet.
BH comes second to none in originality, I don't think I've ever seen him get accused of plagiarizing :P
He releases an album so frequently it's hard to keep up, but I've listened to every solo album. The beauty is: I have an entire lifetime of Buckethead to listen to. Over and over and over and over... Never gets old. Still haven't listened to all the collaborated albums. Got some work to do. Those chickens raised him well.
There are no words to describe this awareness of playing the guitar, the harmonic fields he uses, only he transports us to a dimension never seen before. I'm 69 years old and I only listen to Buchethead. God give him many more years to live.
I agree
this dude is unreal man. truly, it's brought tears to my eyes.
Loh Pro I agree - absolutely phenomenal playing. Is he actually of this earth.......
Take him a gift to the next show. Walk right up there
Absolutely I don't blame you
The most beatutiful songs I've heard in my entire life.
Holy shit. That's all I can say when I hear something like this. It's so earnest, so sincere and so emotional. An utterly moving tribute to someone you know he loved very much. You can feel it. He makes the guitar say more than words ever possibly could.
true
+J Vega truely the best
"moving tribute", you are right about moving; the whole album drives insanity mode :)
Lost a Best friend to suicide this year, but have found peace in bucketheads music and is inspiring me to write a piece of music to remember her. Bucketheads community is so nice too!
Is because concepts like good/evil are controversial what with everybody having their own life experiences contributing to their position... But beauty? Beauty is universal.
Update, the song is coming along pretty nicely. Working on the solo a little more and need to find a decent way to record it. Not on the level of Sir Bucket but trying my hardest! Love you all, Alex!
@@AlexCoombes123 How is it going now?
@@AlexCoombes123 we need an update!
Hey all, update is here. Currently in and out of hospital due to cancer. I have a rough recording of the song on my phone and in my head. It’s basically complete I just need a little more time to heal and find someone to record it with. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the bucketheads x
Funny thing is I don’t see this song as a lament, but rather expresses those happy memories Buckethead had with his mother. Through this song I can picture Nancy Carroll as a loving, cheerful and energetic woman. May she rest in peace.
The song is a journey man
What a great woman she must have been, giving us the gift of joy through music. Thank you Mrs. Carroll
RIP Mrs. Carroll you gave us a god
Only Brian gets to call her Mrs Carroll

with emotions
Lost my mum in 2019. Been listening to this song ever since then, every few days. It takes me on a rollercoaster ride. The good times, the bad times. The smiles whenever I did something nice. The pride she used to feel when I won a medal or an award for anything, and then, the yelling when I didn't do my homework on time or when I was on the phone for too long.
The advice that i so badly need in my life now but have nobody to turn to. When nothing else makes sense in my life, this music makes me want to continue living. I wish I could express my thoughts in words the way you can express via a guitar. Thank you Buckethead for sharing your music with us. Thank you Nancy Carroll for giving us Buckethead.
Sorry for your loss mate. Stay strong
The way he plays lead never bore me... he is amazing!
For reals...who are the 279 soulless zombies who, in what could only be described, as state of complete & utter madness & total loss of sanity actually give a thumbs down to this Pike? Are freakin' kidding me?!?! You notice the Pike doesn't actually end, it just fades away, as if BH had more, even desperately so, to say to his mom....
People like Brian are born once a millenium, I cherish this shit
he could be so popular if he wanted to, wonder if he has any regrets
@@aqua47flawless43 Probably not, he's in the spot where he prefers to be. No paparazzi, nobody trying to unmask him.
I don't think there'll ever be another one like Buckethead in the history of the human race gonna be honest. He's truly one of a kind
There have been great prolific composers before Bucket (Mozart, for example), and there will be more afterwards, but such people don't turn up very often.
What do u mean he could be popular if he wanted to?
He is very popular for his audience..
this IS DEFENITLY MY FAVORITE PIKE!!! ...the emotions on this pike are behond words!! ....amazing!!
I agree there is definitely some soul from the heart put in this album.
This is def one of my favorites but there are so many, check out spirit winds, another great one, diamond in the rough or the space between the clouds, the list goes on and on, so amazing
Robert Harnish oh yes! :) I know! ...there are so many...pikes and albums so wonderful!!... Its hard to keep track on his music because he is a machine that never stpos creating music is really unbelievable!!!.,, and I love everything he makes! ...but this pike has a very special and profound meaning to me ....that's why is my favorite! :)
Robert Harnish Is there an album called space between the clouds? Cause I can't find it. Listening to Spirit Winds as I write and I'm already hooked!
You are correct.
Absolutely phenomenal human being if he's really human we've debated this for years❤❤❤❤😂
I think he's undercover awesome guitar player from another dimension
I'm just gonna say it this is probably the best thing I've ever heard.
Ben Kenobi I’m hearing ya Ben!
Me too, and I've been playing guitar for 18 years. I listen to this like 5 times a day no joke. I just hit replay right when it's done:)
i latched onto Binge and Grab and listened to that like 30 times a day, then it was Brewer in the Air, then Crack the Sky, now its this.
Ben you've been enlightened by the force and couldn't be more right man! Greetings from Chile
@@robmiester I love brewer in the air and crack the sky as well
so beautiful. I love my parents I am grateful for having them in my life everyday my dad is fighting cancer always love mom and dad. life is beautiful bucket head thank you for such beautiful music
I actually saw buckethead when he was with guns and at the time thought he was just some weirdo... I just discovered his real music, I watched/heard the interview with his therapist and am so humbled at my poor and judgmental attitude I had. What he can’t express with words he does through guitar so masterfully 🎸
The first Buckethead album i heard back in 2021. Got me hooked instantly! Absolutely love this guy
One thing I love about Buckethead is that even his solo parts are so damn rythmic
A true underrated genius
It's coming up on 2 years since my mom died. When I listen to this I can almost feel what he felt when composing this. The constantly racing mind... The fear. The anger. The sadness. Tranquility and complete chaos moment by moment. Everything coming in wave after wave, never showing sign of slowing.
Thank you Buckethead for sharing this with us. Thank you for giving me catharsis.
Happy Warrior I literally feel the same way.
Well said bro and sorry for your loss
Right about now I wish I had some real answers to the real hard questions.
This song is probably of the very best for a musical ear, especially as the technique is filled with a vibrant and soulful sound that is unmatched by most guitarists, Buckethead is of the best songwriters/ instrumentalists.......
The number of awesome riffs on this track would be enough to build 3 or 4 sucessful albums of a rock/metal band.
