I don't play guitar, but the white Les Paul that Buckethead plays is my favorite guitar. Heavily biased because Buckethead is one of my favorite musicians.

He does not sing. He doesn't even talk. There is like, 1 picture of him online without the bucket and it's even disputed whether it's actually him. There are a couple voice recordings, but he pretty much speaks with the guitar.

He has a stupid amount of albums. I don't know if I have a "favorite", but I do really like Colma. It's a bit on the softer/smoother side. Population Override is another one I like, along with Bermuda Triangle and Electric Tears.

Here is a live video to show his chops. His music is super varied. You will eventually find something by him you like.

He did play for GnR. Best guitarist they ever had. I forget who it was, might have been Ozzy, wanted Buckethead to play with him but only if he took the bucket off. Buckethead refused.

he was influenced by Randy Rhoads (Ozzys guitarist, and one of my faves) among many others, apparently he suffers from stage fright and the mask (and bucket) is a way of combating it, I get the mask thing but the bucket? well they say the best musicians are a little "out there'!

I don't know



Flying High, Over the Mountain, Mr Crowley....I still know every word :)

I had a Sony Walkman my Dad gave me for Xmas back in the 80's and every time I came home with a "buzz" I'd lay down and put on the headphones, plug them into the walkman insert Ozzy's first or second solo album and just listen...I was always in awe of Randys guitar, those first two solo albums were awesome, and they were released within a year of each other. Good stuff
I Dont Know is a masterpiece and so overlooked

combat was my game…..i would never lose against my brother


Do you remember the Atari game Adventure?

Find the sword and the key kill the dragon unlock the castle. That was one of my favorites.

Pitfall too. When you completed Pitfall you took a poloriod of the screen and sent it in and they would send you back a patch.
