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 just thought exactly this the other day, they maybe arent his best solo/riff/arpeggios etc but its the best example of all his techniques and sounds into one single piece, this is definitely the song i would play to a new bucky listener for the first time
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
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! ^_^
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.

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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
If Joseph Merrick was alive today, i think he would be proud of buckethead attention to him Dont forget this man... fight againts the difference Thanks you buckethead, you're the man
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!
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!!!!
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
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
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.
"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
!@#$ 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.
@KristyB5 that is very very true.. i used to write songs to a continued tempo, key, and sometimes even rythm... even watching bucketheads performances gives me a whole new outlook on music theory. hes a genuis
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?
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.
This song gives me the chills. It's a fantastic masterwork! Bucket really makes music that mean things. He's the best artist in the world, if you ask me. He does it over and over again. Buckethead even overdid Slash in my opinion (i still love Slash). :D Ty for posting the video ^^
I just wanted to tell you how much I agree with your song selections... I came across Buckethead through Guitar Hero II, also, and I'm very glad I did - I listen to nothing else these days :) I just wish he had more albums out... 20+ isn't enough for me :D anyway, congrats on your good tastes, and maybe we can talk Buckethead together sometime :)
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 :)
I used to be a man of thought and reason, until the day I came across this song I didn't know if my head was playing with me or I was going insane due to the magnitude of the musical madness that I endured through.
Oh yeah, and Magua's Scalp, Hills of Eternity, For Mom, Whitewash, Carpal Tunnel Slug, Big Sur Moon, The Fairy and the Devil, Pepper's Ghost, All in Waiting, Sketches of Spain, Padmasana, and Electric Tears - needless to say, I'm a huge Buckethead fan now and I decided to look through my music library and find some more songs.
rotflmao just looked at the desc myself holy shtz your not the only shorty bus rider . i must need one of those compact vans w/ personal guidence provided lolz
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

This song made me cry like 5 times. I'm not even ashamed of that.
i also shed exactly five (5) tears
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
i always think i found the perfect song...then i find more buckethead songs in the related videos...same story...
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! ^_^
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
My god, that intro after all these years is still as incredible as it was back then. Unreal...
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.
2:25 those bongo drums really has their own feeling to them. I love this combination.
Buckethead is beyond exceptional, but can we take a moment to appreciate the fantastic percussion in this song!?

TheFanboy6 thanks dude
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
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
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!

Epic, no words. I want to cry.
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
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.
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
This guy is somethin else
I love when the hook comes back in at 7:21
The first minute and a half of this song is probably the most relaxing and true to heart sound that I've ever heard
Exceptional!! Wow just blown away!! Easily one the greatest songs anyone could ever listen to.
I love this song buckethead is a master that tone solo is epic. This story abount this song is amazing 🎸🤘
THE DAY HE PLAYS THIS SONG LIVE IS THE DAY ILL START LIVING
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

@@wadewilson4998
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
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
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.
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.
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.
How can someone go from mild to absolute shredding in the same song? It defies the laws of physics. Bh is my god.
If Joseph Merrick was alive today, i think he would be proud of buckethead attention to him
Dont forget this man... fight againts the difference
Thanks you buckethead, you're the man
holy shit this is amazing! why am i only hearing this now
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
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!
Buckethead. He is very good and talented guitarist. Thank you for sharing this nice piece of guitar music new friend here.
8:53 al final, lo que me hace sentir y pensar, estaba muy lejos de lo que yo normalmente pienso, que buena vibra tira...
Possibly his best work...ever.
I love his simply and deep melodies.
hail bucket.
love you man.
BEST SONG BY BUCKETHEAD. HANDS DOWN!!!
This song literally does it all. Dudes got a knack for keeping 9 minute instrumentals exciting. Brilliant writing
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!!!!
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
ONE OF MY TOP 5 RIGHT HERE BOYSSSS
Full of highs and downs of emotions.
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
so glad i was able to see him live
one of the best BH songs... ever.
beautiful song L000000ng, live buckethead
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.

nor to call out to the hills."
The Lurker at the threshold
This song is the closest thing to a masterpiece I have ever heard...
!@#$
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.
@KristyB5 that is very very true.. i used to write songs to a continued tempo, key, and sometimes even rythm... even watching bucketheads performances gives me a whole new outlook on music theory. hes a genuis
it also shows his genius in writing songs
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.

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.
The first solo is the greatest thing in existence.
buckethead is amazing... words cant describe his stuff its just absolutely incredible
this song, to me, is hands down the greatest song ever recorded
my new favorite.
i cant stress how much this music
helps me through the day(s).
LONG LIVE BUCKETHEAD

This song gives me the chills. It's a fantastic masterwork! Bucket really makes music that mean things. He's the best artist in the world, if you ask me. He does it over and over again. Buckethead even overdid Slash in my opinion (i still love Slash). :D Ty for posting the video ^^

23 people are scared of the one who lurks at the threshold.
Shadowman is scary, at first. He's friendly, though.
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.
Thank you SO FUCKING MUCH for this upload. I cant belive my ears. i swear.
Thanks for putting the tracks together. This is really great music.
9:41 of some of the coolest music you will hear.
wow, i cant believe ive never heard this one before!?!?! great song!
Wow!
thanks for uploading i love this song
One of my fav songs
I love Buckethead
I used to be a man of thought and reason, until the day I came across this song I didn't know if my head was playing with me or I was going insane due to the magnitude of the musical madness that I endured through.
god this song is soo amazing.!!!!! i cant stand it.
Was anyone else as blown away as me by this song?
Oh yeah, and Magua's Scalp, Hills of Eternity, For Mom, Whitewash, Carpal Tunnel Slug, Big Sur Moon, The Fairy and the Devil, Pepper's Ghost, All in Waiting, Sketches of Spain, Padmasana, and Electric Tears - needless to say, I'm a huge Buckethead fan now and I decided to look through my music library and find some more songs.
@1StopMusic YAY, someone replied:D thanks man, i'll buy it ASAP
rotflmao just looked at the desc myself holy shtz your not the only shorty bus rider . i must need one of those compact vans w/ personal guidence provided lolz
What a song. Just wicked.

I've looked in chuck and cannot find his music any where I guess that makes me a you tube junkie so I can learn this too. lolz
the intro is easy to play, love how you put all parts on one vid, BUCKETHEAD RULES WOOOOOOOO, 1:27 is crazy!!!!!!!!!!
That note at 6:29 kicks ass! Great song.
amazing song

Buckethead is for people who only accept the best!
Such a great album. hope you enjoy it \m/
2:25 is my favorite part *-*
4:42 is brutal. And my morning wakeup sounde :-)
Magnificent all parts, def a favorite.
This is magnificent... epic!
Definitely what I would call a master.
