I think a part of it is because his songs are not too simple for non-musicians and the other musicians can listen to interesting elements of his playing which only they might recognize
FACT - being able to see him was a treat 2 years ago. Got to tap that cut off switch when he leaned into the crowd. So awesome even the toy throwing gifts haha great guy.
psamsundar Learn how to play some of his songs and I promise you'll get it. Try his simpler acoustic ones..like "Little Gracie". Then feast on the fingerstyle beauty of "Yokohama"..try "Wondering' which is much more than meets the ear
@@wordlife9257 you have incredible taste my friend. little gracie and wondering were some of the first songs that I fell in love with playing the guitar with... learning those songs changed my life and I play them almost every day for 10 years...
So there I am bottom right I tried to steal his pick right after this song. He kneeled down and shook my hand. With some magic his pick disappeared. My Hero!
I don't remember when I came across his songs and videos we ALL enjoy... I guess it was just 2 or 3 weeks ago, not very long ago... but I'm almost 70 effing years old and this month is the 1st time I even seen or heard of Buckethead... how and why did it take so long?!? But I have read in other folks comments that they're kinda glad BH isn't too big commercially... yet. I grew up as a teen in and through the 70's, the best decade ever for rock, hard rock, prog-rock, metal etc. And by listening to Buckethead's original music without having to decipher what the lyrics mean, and why, helps me enjoy BH's incredible music, like I first did over 50 years ago... pure and unspoiled by a for certain guitar prodigy... but I'm still mad i didn't hear about him sooner!!! God Bless You Buckethead, BPC, you actually help me feel younger whenever I hear your music👍🙏💙😊😎 Bob S.
tell folks to listen to albums like Colma and Electric Tears if they typecast him as the brutal flurry shreddy Jason Becker type. nothing bad against J there at all. he was like Bucky's predecessor
I can't believe it took me so long to even hear about Buckethead. I only found out about this amazing musician about a year ago, and I can not get enough of him. And THIS song, in this video, well this is really extra special. I watch all of the videos I can find of him on UA-cam, and I never saw him get into the music like he does in this one. The raw emotion... and come on, this song is amazing! You'd have to be made out of granite to NOT rock out to this. I love this video. Buckethead, you make this old rock fan smile every time I hear you play.
I've only been in Bucketheadland for a couple more months that you but I am a convert. What did I do before Buckethead entered my world and flipped it upside-down? I just keep listening to his endless catalogue of songs and when I think I've reached the apex of guitar playing I stumble across another of his masterpieces. I am truly amazed by this guitar god.
People don't accept he's the best because he's so prolific. Ignoring the fact that Mozart and other great composers were also incredibly prolific and produced many works.
That's just another reason why he's the goat. Even if half of his music was considered unreleasable he's still got 10-20 times the amount than other greats.
I really can't understand all of these naysayers out there that play off like he's nothing special at all. Honestly I've never heard any guitar player out there that sounds like him...I was connected instantly....I've head a shitload of guitar players over the last 45+ years Satiani, Vai, Yngwie, Zakk Wylde, Vivian Campell, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman...on and on and nobody and I mean nobody has tapped into my soul like BH and they're all great in their own respect...but BH is exceptional.....
This is a metal heart machine ! You make me brave when your pushing notes arrive my ears ! It doesn't matter who is the best guitarist. You convey the emotions really amazingly.
Brian's playing is cathartic for him and also his way of saying thank you to everyone that loves his music. He is thankful to everyone that loves him for sharing himself in his music.
0:59 that is such a COMMANDING lick, I love it so much. I only heard the live version of this song as the last bit of a Pike I can't remember off the top of my head, but I find myself humming it throughout the day. It's so motivating, makes the hair on my neck stand up.
life Some say that AI could never learn art like a human, others say Buckethead is proof that a robot AI can master art. The truth however is that Buckethead is actually just evidence of advanced alien life on earth.
Wikipedia under break for illness. This is why he didn't release an album for so long and then came out with Spinal Clock upon his return.Since then he has been unstoppable.
For the millionth time: Who IS this guy? Yeah, I know he's got a name, and I also know that no human can do anything like that. Maybe he did come from outer space; that would explain it.
He was born in a chicken coop, that's all I can remember:). I truly feel sorry for his guitars as he puts them to the test for sure! Peace and do Rock on.
Buckethead always seens to have a good time at Mishawaka, especially in 06. If you've been or seen Mishawaka Amphitheater, you can't blame him at all. I'd love to see Buckethead play there.
Damn, I NEVER grow tired of watching Buckethead jam. I think everyone should have a healthy dose of #shredfest for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday.
BH knows he's the GOAT. He doesn't want to go on a debate with others that's why his on stage persona is a fn badass thing to answer haters. I know he's not like this when he's home being Brian. God bless you man! I understand why you're different and I get it you never need to talk if you feel it's unnecessary. This is why it's every BH fans dream to hear him speak. I heard his podcast that was released when he got heart attacks and felt he could die. This man has the most beautiful soul living today. I'm grateful to see his era and I pray to God to grant him heaven when he leaves us. He seems like a broken person I feel for his loss of parents and other loved ones. I love you BH I know you watch UA-cam that's why you recognised fans who cover your songs at your show! You're the most complete musician. Your music has changed me, no need of any lyrics anymore. Thank you BH for everything.
An absolute genius savant. I’ve been listening to guitars for my whole life and wishing to play, I do play drums quite well and a bit of piano, fingers too short for guitar. This is the only musician I’ve listen to since finding him a little over a year ago. I have a lot of catching up to do
He's the level of musician where you go to his concert and expect to see other musicians in the audience.
musician of musicians
he's your favorite guitarist's, favorite guitarist

this guy is pure genius. how on earth does he come up with these songs. raw talent.

I assume lots of jam sessions.

I feel so blessed to have listened to such music and sorry for those who are ignorant of this world.
he's so into his music! I hope its like that tonight I'm going to see him in an hour!
as an australian i am so incredibly jealous, hope it was good!
The feels. I love aussieland, from vic. but shit man, we miss out on this big time.
I’ve seen him 4 times since I made this comment. 3 autographs, a guitar pick, a bucket he wore, and 4 toys later.
4 years later and I still absolutely cherish this man.
@@tannernagrone I'd kinda like wanna be u!
best guitarist alive shame not much people know him
Iam an old rocker from the 60's ..all are entitled to their musical tastes..if you don't like this guy..you just don't like guitar......the man rocks
LJBuck72 amen 🙏

Facts.
Buckethead's the only fact that inspired me to start over playing guitar 6 years later. You are a fucking god of guitar mann.

Buckethead, you make this old rock fan smile every time I hear you play.
And he can tune the Guitar while he is playing like only God could.
Brian, you are the ONE......
i'm 55 and can't believe i haven't heard of this guy before .... nice little gem you guys have here ...
hope you're doing alright sir
I had the pleasure of watching this gentle giant play in person ... My BUCKET(HEAD) list is now more complete .....
the quality on this is still mind blowing for over 12 years ago
I'm in love with this guitar virtuoso!
tuning that 6th string while playing. that is so sickkkkk. pure mastery of the instrument.\m/
I can't listen to this song enough times!!! soo deep so full of hope
This guy is ridiculously amazing. Shoulda been in like a top 10 list for greatest guitarists!
He is.
finally someone can tune his guitar while playing a song and doesn't play the whole song out of tune
Doktor Jekyll van Hyd. e
Stevie Ray Vaughan also tuned his guitar while playing.
Qq
@@harshsaraswat6254 …Jimi Hendrix, yes. Musicians with instinctive pitch, ehh?
Wow. Just stumbled into Buckethead world last week. Wow.
Congratulations, your life will never be the same.
I've only been in Bucketheadland for a couple more months that you but I am a convert. What did I do before Buckethead entered my world and flipped it upside-down? I just keep listening to his endless catalogue of songs and when I think I've reached the apex of guitar playing I stumble across another of his masterpieces. I am truly amazed by this guitar god.
the opening is absolutely awesome!
EL MEJOR GUITARRISTA DEL MUNDO !
3:37 the most epic blend of metal vs classical
Who would of known that age 59 after a life of loving rock I finally meet the GOAT. Just 2 months into the journey.....
Chris Weidner . Cocaine is a hellava drug. That's a long time to love rock.
Just amazing I remember when my friends and I used to listen to his music all the time
The most talented, ever
Buckethead is a beast.
Don't know if anyone else noticed, but @ 04:43 he hits the A on the 5th instead of 7th, and it still sounded sweet.
I normally hate this type of comment but the fact you know this song so well actually impresses me.
@@masonharris9166agreed but the original note sounds better
notifying y'all so y'all can come and listen to this masterpiece once again
Hope everyone's still listening to this
SO GOOD. I can't stop watching
There are guitarists, and there is a Buckethead
It's just unrealistically cool😻🎸🦾
I love how he poses for the cameras, when he moves on the stage! :'D
Ohh men its been years since i saw this video and it still blows my mind. How amazing must it be seeing this live
Awesome!love it!it's amazing 🎉

the lightings of buckehead's mishawaka performances are awesome.
This is a metal heart machine ! You make me brave when your pushing notes arrive my ears ! It doesn't matter who is the best guitarist. You convey the emotions really amazingly.
as i sit in Awe of him it makes me feel better than ever to hear a gibson played like a total outlaw God
I've never seen him get so into his own playing like at 1:00 , granted that riff is one of my all time favorites. awesome
And at 3:28. 😀
+dedik8SKB Look at other videos from this same show, it looks like he was into his own playing with many other songs as well.
+dedik8SKB Right lol he was fucking jamming out
What song is that??? I heard it once a long time ago and can't seem to find it
You can guarantee there'll be multitudes of expressions going on under that mask!
thank you Buckethead! you give me the courage to defeat all
I keep coming back to this
Thank you, wonderful live version.
I think about this song a lot
fucking amazing!
Thank you thank you thankyou, always awesome to see such epic new buckethead live performances!
One of my TOP 3 favorite Buckethead songs.
He takes me places I wouldn't normally go - or expect to love.
Thank you Bro. Woo! 🤘🏼🐔
buckethead for life!! great uplaod dude!
Brian's playing is cathartic for him and also his way of saying thank you to everyone that loves his music. He is thankful to everyone that loves him for sharing himself in his music.
he's really enjoying this one aswell
9 year ago I found he's music, and since I still listening to his brilliant music.
He's so active in this performance, nice footage.
This one tears me in parts
Incredible video, thanks DMac!
Buckethead, definitivamente de lo mejor que he escuchado. Mi guitarrista favorito.
Im not gay but i love u buckethead !!!

I'm sick and the only cure for me is. you know who ???
I'm gay for Buckethead
@@russellsvendsen920 the only cure for this fevaaaaa is more cowbell
C'est vraiment un plaisir de l'écouter!

2:04 he is just too fucking cool.
the best rock guitarist
life Some say that AI could never learn art like a human, others say Buckethead is proof that a robot AI can master art. The truth however is that Buckethead is actually just evidence of advanced alien life on earth.
3:12 and 4:29 lovely passage alternatives
At the 1 minute mark one of the greatest riffs in music history
Buckethead is on fire !
He pwns on so many different level!!!!!!! The ENIRE Albino Slug album is gonna play at my funeral!!!!!!
increible jaja tocando y afinado en el momento buckethead
Buckethead controla todo...
Happy B-Day Buckethead!!!!!
Uhh - so much music you still have to discover! :)
just listen to him go to town on that guitar ...... SUPERB !!!!

For the millionth time: Who IS this guy? Yeah, I know he's got a name, and I also know that no human can do anything like that. Maybe he did come from outer space; that would explain it.
Brian Patrick Carroll
He was born in a chicken coop, that's all I can remember:). I truly feel sorry for his guitars as he puts them to the test for sure! Peace and do Rock on.
Born in a coop, raised in a cage, children fear him, critics rage :D
Few know he was the lone survivor in the Area 51 crash.
He is divine.. Quite virtuous. A very complicated and empathetic human being.
These are a few of my favorite things
To me, music is a sphere filled with sounds which have their own kaleidoscopic structure....& he is making quite tge show
God Buckethead❤❤❤❤
We have Paul Gilbert on knees to thank for making Brian one of the best virtuosos of our time
I love the contrast of this video
I love this song
I FUCKING LOVE BUCKETHEAD!
This is... i can't explain it. F*cking awesome!
Welcome to Bucketheadland :D
Amazing!!
This is so good
Beautiful
that tuning and new version of riff came out at 2:00 freaking awesome!
I like john pertrucci,but LOVE BUCKETHEAD true musicianship!
Buckethead always seens to have a good time at Mishawaka, especially in 06. If you've been or seen Mishawaka Amphitheater, you can't blame him at all. I'd love to see Buckethead play there.
welcome to bucketheadland :D
pretty much, if you can imagine a genre of music, buckethead has a song in that style somewhere :D
Unreal !
I'm a Satriani guy,but this Bucket guy is on that level without a doubt.
Im a Satriani guy too but let's be honest Bucket is on a VERY different level..
lol
Good stuff man
Es increible el talento de este tipo para componer solos como esos si si bethoven tendria una guitarra se llamaria buckethead
Hubiera tenido*
Buckethead is the best ever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tan perfecto! ❤️🤤
Damn, I NEVER grow tired of watching Buckethead jam. I think everyone should have a healthy dose of #shredfest for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday.
BEST EVER!!!! Come to BRASIL BUCKETHEAD!!!!PLS!!

awesome!!
Thumbs up if you find his performance at Mishiwaka Amphitheater 2009 to be the BEST of all time!!!
I do find myself coming back to Mishakawa songs more than any other live show and that is saying something as so many of them are amazing.
