To me this is the ultimate Buckethead song. It has just about everything he has to offer packed into this one piece. Calm and emotional like in the intro. He's a riff master with super heavy ones and lighter catchy ones. Those leads like in the chorus section that has that note progression signature to Buckethead. Amazing guitar solos, mind melting shredding and also with his invented nubbing technique that sounds like some sort of computer machine. And in the end it comes full circle. Get to know the sound of Buckethead in 10 minutes this is the song.
I got to see him last night! It was the best concert Ive ever been to, he let me touch his killswitch and even gave me a toy! Buckethead forever hes the best guitarist since Hendrix, probably ever! ^_^
pure talent. a true diamond in the rough, a composer, a savant? , a modern day Beethoven? a machine, a alien, just a man that's doing what he was put on this planet to do
+britch bopa no no he is not, deetoven had every song he had and 10x more for the 300 instruments he mastered to Bucketheads level, and he had all of the songs for each of them and an opera in his head and he was deaf, Mozart is number one and Beethoven is second bucket head no where near
Buckethead is SO INCREDIBLE... He was who inspired me to really get into playing guitar. This song (and pretty much everything else he's put out) is simply unbelievable.
there are lots of great Virtuoso's out there like Satriani, Vai, Hendrix, Paul Gilbert etc..but IMO nobody can write a song as good as Buckethead...NOBODY!!!
i think its a more a matter of how they write. no two guitarists are the same, i mean paul gilbert taught buckethead and yet their playing styles are completely different. same goes with satch and vai. yngwie malmsteen is probably one of the only guitarists on earth who can shred at the same speed as buckethead, and he plays a lot of neoclassical whereas buckethead can play a huge variety of genres and even picking styles. its all in the eye of the beholder but i agree that buckethead is one of the best out there
The thing with buckethead is that he is so freaking original and Unique. You can find that listening to Tim Henson from polyphia writing style, but yet it si a different playing and writing style, worth checking out too!
Buckethead is doing what Hendrix told Peter tork he wanted to do. Hendrix was tired, his eyes drifted, head down said, Paint pictures of earth and space, with music. Peter torks last conversation with Jimi
Very constructive song! It's good to hear some Buckethead songs with good drums, and effects! Didn't know this song! I love it, as all the others! BUCKETHEAD RULES!
in awe of this dude wow amazing. the further I dig into his music the deeper I look into myself. sounds crazy and its hard to explain, but i seem to think about things that have happened or are happening in my life now, when I listen to this wonderful music.

There's more than enough people that already realize his greatness. Believe it or not he's got millions of fans....being in GnR wasn't a total waste for him....it gave him the global exposure he needed!
I keep listening to more and more Buckethead songs. And there's about a half dozen that I keep finding to be the best music I've ever heard. And then I'll keep listening to those songs because they're so good. And now I have to add this one as well. I can't keep up with it! Thanks a lot, Buckethead. Ya big jerk!
It's fucking Buckethead. It's amazing. It's perfect. This dude is incredible and the best! And this is one of his beastly masterpieces! Maybe my favorite. I'm
This is quite possibly my favorite BH song. It's so well structured and is so epic. I want to put my guitar down after hearing this guy. It disheartens me. He's so good.
"He is not to cause the water to cease flowing about the island of the tower, nor to molest the tower in any way, nor to entreat of the stones... He is not to open the door which leads to strange time and place, nor to invite Him Who lurks at the threshold, nor to call out to the hills." The Lurker at the threshold
There are many artists that I love, respect and admire because of how talented they are. Buckethead is probably the only one to consistently make me crack up at how absurdly good he is. The breakdown that starts building up at 4:12 is just beyond human
Spent 40 years in the business. Made decent money. Thought I was pretty good until I heard this true gift of a guitar player. Cannot comprehend how some of the sounds are made. A true sensitive person and a musical genius.
wow!very shocked this wasnt up for a while this cd rocks!..and just the other day i was think almost every song has been uploaded...OH and part 3 of this song is just amazing!!!!
Buckethead rulz he is amazing as in heavy metal as well as on his soft side every new song i hear from him impresses me . He has the greatest of all solo's as the best music to make you tear, but only real people who appreciate true music appreciate buckethead.
This song is so incredible, it's worth it just to sit there an think of some sort of epic story to go along with this music. This is just one of a few of Buckethead's songs that have influenced me as much as they have. I think Buckethead deserves far, far more credit than he is given. I own several of his albums now, and I still want to get more. Lurker at the Threshold is a phenominal way to the inspired. Friends I've showed this to have all just been left speechless. Need I say more?
my mom listens to buckethead and shes 43.....she loves him even tho she is scared of his image lol i started her off with all his slow songs mainly from electric tears and colma she said it helps her mellow out whens she stressed at work! bucket can affect all sorts of ppl no matter what the age. just gotta give em a chance
This is a great song to show to people who want to know about Bucket. It's got everything he's about pretty much, emotional stuff to start out with, then hardcore drop-tuned metal riffs, then melodic genius riffs, then guitar virtuoso shredding, it's even got some crazy finger nubbing in there for good measure.
!@#$ I hate it when I find masterpieces like this. A whole day can go by with this on repeat, and I won't even notice because I'm too busy enjoying it.
Its the fault of a lot of music companies why songs as awesome as this arent deserving the respect it should have... Just because they think a singer or a song isnt going to get anywhere means it wont... BUKETHEAD IS AWESOME
There is this guy in my school that often bullies me, i went to high school with him, and im trying to get new friends but he just tells everyone that im a looser... listening to this song really makes things better :)

the most underrated underappreciated musician ever, luckily those who've heard him once can't go back to anyone else
fazeel ashraf
True that!
Well spoken!!
My musical life in one sentence
Buckethead forever
^ Best Comment!
Yep, 10 year fan
I have heard of almost all of bucketheads songs and must say that he is one of the most talented musicians that has lived. PERIOD.
I totally agree
This song made me cry like 5 times. I'm not even ashamed of that.
I got to see him last night! It was the best concert Ive ever been to, he let me touch his killswitch and even gave me a toy! Buckethead forever hes the best guitarist since Hendrix, probably ever! ^_^
pure talent. a true diamond in the rough, a composer, a savant? , a modern day Beethoven? a machine, a alien, just a man that's doing what he was put on this planet to do
he is not on Beethoven's level but very good
+Ares Azrael oh he is
+britch bopa no no he is not, deetoven had every song he had and 10x more for the 300 instruments he mastered to Bucketheads level, and he had all of the songs for each of them and an opera in his head and he was deaf, Mozart is number one and Beethoven is second bucket head no where near
+britch bopa take music appreciation in college a an elective come back to me after 2 semesters and try to tell me Buckethead is even close
+Ares Azrael I like Buckethead
This song is actually insane. My tiny brain can’t even comprehend such creativity
I don't think even Einstein's massive brain could comprehend it to be honest
i always think i found the perfect song...then i find more buckethead songs in the related videos...same story...
ONE OF MY TOP 5 RIGHT HERE BOYSSSS
i have been a bucket fanatic for the past 4 years now. how am i just hearing this!?
Most of his best stuff came out in that period.
4 years later.. you got any other songs you want to add to that list lol

He only gave Buckethead lessons for a lil over a year.
Those guys can definitely write songs on par with buckethead lol don't be crazy

Didn't know this song!
I love it, as all the others!
BUCKETHEAD RULES!
I love when the hook comes back in at 7:21
My one wish is to hear him play this live
Omg I couldn't even imagine. That would be the ultimate. My head might explode.
This guy is somethin else
Epic, no words. I want to cry.

Wow Such A Great And Diverse Guitar Player!! Its Just A Shame Hes So Ahead Of His Time Most People Wont Realise His Greatness Until Its Too Late!!!
William Shakespeare.
vincent van gogh.
Not us my friend, we were there

go for a walk at night when it's raining or wet outside and listen to this. It's fucking epic !
Walked home from the gym listening to this song. wow
2:25 those bongo drums really has their own feeling to them. I love this combination.
My god, that intro after all these years is still as incredible as it was back then. Unreal...
Buckethead is beyond exceptional, but can we take a moment to appreciate the fantastic percussion in this song!?
Every time i come to part 1 on the CD, I cant help but listen to the whole thing.... This is awesome without the breaks.
Big B for Life
Wow!
It's fucking Buckethead. It's amazing. It's perfect. This dude is incredible and the best! And this is one of his beastly masterpieces! Maybe my favorite. I'm
The first minute and a half of this song is probably the most relaxing and true to heart sound that I've ever heard
BEST SONG BY BUCKETHEAD. HANDS DOWN!!!
8:53 al final, lo que me hace sentir y pensar, estaba muy lejos de lo que yo normalmente pienso, que buena vibra tira...
This is quite possibly my favorite BH song. It's so well structured and is so epic. I want to put my guitar down after hearing this guy. It disheartens me. He's so good.
I love his simply and deep melodies.
hail bucket.
love you man.
holy shit this is amazing! why am i only hearing this now
This is not only music!
it also shows his genius in writing songs
always they makes my hair stand on end when i hear the guitar of Buckethead
THE DAY HE PLAYS THIS SONG LIVE IS THE DAY ILL START LIVING
The intro is sad 💔
kevin Nomus its my personal favorite part of the whole thing. Wish it would've been a little longer
me too. I like the length of his songs too because he gives you enough time to get lost in the melody and appreciate music.
Buckethead. He is very good and talented guitarist. Thank you for sharing this nice piece of guitar music new friend here.
so glad i was able to see him live
9:41 of some of the coolest music you will hear.
I love this song buckethead is a master that tone solo is epic. This story abount this song is amazing 🎸🤘

This song literally does it all. Dudes got a knack for keeping 9 minute instrumentals exciting. Brilliant writing

I mean....no words.......I want to cry....

LONG LIVE BUCKETHEAD

LOVE IT...thanks for sharing...!
I really enjoy this song, I come and listen to it whenever I can, it's truly one of the best songs I have ever heard.
Spent 40 years in the business. Made decent money. Thought I was pretty good until I heard this true gift of a guitar player. Cannot comprehend how some of the sounds are made. A true sensitive person and a musical genius.
What a song. Just wicked.

The first solo is the greatest thing in existence.
Buckethead rulz he is amazing as in heavy metal as well as on his soft side every new song i hear from him impresses me . He has the greatest of all solo's as the best music to make you tear, but only real people who appreciate true music appreciate buckethead.
god this song is soo amazing.!!!!! i cant stand it.

This song is the closest thing to a masterpiece I have ever heard...
Thanks for putting the tracks together. This is really great music.
Buckethead is for people who only accept the best!
everything in divine order
my mom listens to buckethead and shes 43.....she loves him even tho she is scared of his image lol i started her off with all his slow songs mainly from electric tears and colma she said it helps her mellow out whens she stressed at work! bucket can affect all sorts of ppl no matter what the age. just gotta give em a chance
How can someone go from mild to absolute shredding in the same song? It defies the laws of physics. Bh is my god.
One of my fav songs
I love Buckethead
That note at 6:29 kicks ass! Great song.
amazing song
Possibly his best work...ever.
23 people are scared of the one who lurks at the threshold.
Shadowman is scary, at first. He's friendly, though.
4:44 this is such a sick solo.
AWESOME
This is a great song to show to people who want to know about Bucket. It's got everything he's about pretty much, emotional stuff to start out with, then hardcore drop-tuned metal riffs, then melodic genius riffs, then guitar virtuoso shredding, it's even got some crazy finger nubbing in there for good measure.
thanks for uploading i love this song
Buckethead is a genius.
its like movie
I think its a great idea you uploaded the whole thing as one. It's really awesome when you listen to it in one go.
This man writes an album every time he picks up a guitar!
thanks for making my day
Yes.
!@#$
I hate it when I find masterpieces like this. A whole day can go by with this on repeat, and I won't even notice because I'm too busy enjoying it.
this song, to me, is hands down the greatest song ever recorded
its amazing how a guy with a kfc bucket on his head can write something so beautiful
Its the fault of a lot of music companies why songs as awesome as this arent deserving the respect it should have...
Just because they think a singer or a song isnt going to get anywhere means it wont... BUKETHEAD IS AWESOME
Magnificent all parts, def a favorite.
Definitely what I would call a master.
There is this guy in my school that often bullies me, i went to high school with him, and im trying to get new friends but he just tells everyone that im a looser... listening to this song really makes things better :)
Such a great album. hope you enjoy it \m/
(1:27) - (1:57) OH MAH GOOOOD! thats music
SICK solos!
Ladys and gentle men, we precent, the mighty Buckethead!!!
im wierd, i like songs for even the smallest parts like at 1:58 that little heavy riff is just so badass
+Steven Bell Same here man. i feel the same for 5:41
exactly the same dude doesn't make you weird at all, you have a good ear !
+Justin Naujoks real talk though, these 4 strokes at 7:13 s where its at, best moment in the song
7:00-7:50 is my fave bit
this song is fucking perfect
How can someone dislike it,absurd.
