Buckethead to Tour

That 1 Guy isn't Buckethead

Brian Carroll Buckethead wears a white facemask and a KFC bucket. He shreds terrible noise from existential pop songs and hangs the remnants on Disney standards. He's worked with Axl Rose, Les Claypool, and Iggy Pop, and answers interview questions with his rubber hand puppet "Herbie". Tonight, he's at Neumo's, and the man BCB has handpicked to alarm the crowd is one Mike Silverman.

A classically trained bassist, Silverman threw aside his wooden anchor a few years ago in favor of The Magic Pipe. The Guy's pipe--and I'm pulling from several sources here--waggles at the audience a big, heavy low string, capped by a higher tenor string on its pendulous upper segment. It is nearly seven feet tall, rigged with loopers, stompboxes, and samplers. It is a working eccentricity engine.

I saw Buckethead last night. THis is the 5th time I have seen him. He is simply amazing! The show was off the hook. His skill is far and away better than anyone out there, not even close. He is able to play with speed and also emotion which is very tough to do. It is a shame he is not with GNR anymore. The band was much better with him. If you havent seen him live, do yourself a favor and go see him.

does he ever come to UK?

Far as I'm aware (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) the last time he played in the UK was at Leeds and Londond in 2002 touring with GnR. Before that I believe he did a few shows around about 1998 is support of his Colma album. I think that's about it.

If you're holding out for a solo tour I wouldn't hold your breath - I've been waiting for years!

[GNR_Green]

He was a waste in Gn'R and has only delayed CD. I'm glad he's gone. We never needed that freak anyways.

You score 0/10 for your post.

I'd love Buckethead to come to the UK.  He may be poor but I'm sure a lot of artists are.  Maybe he needs to get organised with some better people?

And you score 10/10 for your post! Buckethead kicks ass. I love Ron too but Buckethead (although I kind of agree with the image thing in GnR) is an amazing guitar player.

He wasn't a waste in GnR - look at the guitar parts he recorded that are still on the leaks they are unbelievable. And how did he delay the release? If anything he left because the release was delayed not the other way around - he releases about 8 albums a year so waiting 8 years for one album isn't his thing. And he left in 2004, and it's now 2008 and we still haven't seen CD.

I'm going to the show in Omaha in June.  I've never been to the Waiting Room, don't know if it's a shithole or if it's fancy and cool.  I'm looking forward to it, though.  Ready for my jaw to hit the floor and stay there.

[thegame2000]

do you live in Nebraska man, within the Omaha area?

I'm in Nebraska.  Near Norfolk, which is around 2 1/2 hours northwest of Omaha.  Are you in the Omaha area, or is it a drive for you too?

Kevin Smith

Buckethead, he of experimental guitar opuses and former Guns ?N Roses V. 2.0 axeman, will be stopping by the Rialto Theatre this fall.

Besides his insane noodling, the guy is also mostly known for always appearing in the get-up above, which should make for an interesting night of out-there jamming.

Show is Saturday, Nov. 15, at 8 p.m. Tickets are going to be $21 in advance and $26 day of show- on sale July 25 at 11 a.m.

In related not news, Buckethead?s tribute to Ol Dirty Bastard can be found here.
