Two ripping DVDs of buckethead in 1990 and 1991

BUCKETHEAD: 'Young Buckethead Vol. 1' And 'Vol. 2' DVDs On The Way - Nov. 8, 2007

Avabella has set a December 11 release date for the two DVDs from former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Buckethead, "Young Buckethead Vol. 1" and "Young Buckethead Vol. 2". The descriptions for the two titles are as follows:

"Young Buckethead Vol. 1": This DVD begins with the DELI CREEPS' complete concert on 11/24/90 at the Cactus Club in San Francisco. The lineup is Maximum Bob, Pinch Face, Tony Black, and Buckethead, who delivers a stunning performance. The next sequence captures the band's soundcheck earlier that day, with lots of great guitar riffing and a powerful Maximum Bob performance. On the weirder side, "Buckethead in the Basement" presents Buck up close in a translucent mask, playing cinematic keyboard synth accompaniment to a buddy's insane ravings. This completely unrehearsed footage captures Buckethead's improvisational genius on keyboard, including some great "Giant Robot" passages. "Buckethead's Backyard Solo" presents the full 14-minute guitar blitz (the Guitar World footage shows only a portion). Buckethead goes from shredding to bass-string-popping to "Hog Bitch Stomp" to horror movie themes, original shards, and a sublime "I Love My Parents". This truly has to be seen to be believed.

"Young Buckethead Vol. 2": This DVD starts with the DELI CREEPS' complete 4/3/91 concert at the Kennel Club in San Francisco. The lineup is Maximum Bob, Pinch Face, Tony Black, and Buckethead, who delivers a spectacular performance with the camera just a few feet away. The next segment captures the band's legendary San Francisco debut, at the I-Beam on 9/1/90, with Buck, Maximum Bob, Pinch Face, and bassist Saucy Patches pull out all the stops. Seldom has Buckethead, who plays shirtless, been so animated in his playing. The set includes "Dream Girl" and "Hog Bitch Stomp". Next up is a hysterical backstage sequence later that night. In "Buckethead in the Park", the masked speaks ? about growing up in a chicken coop, his heroes and inspirations, favorite methods of mayhem, and even does the Jowls speech. Honest.
