He always hated performing in front of other people. It makes his heart race so much he's had 2 heart operations! That's the main reason for hiding his face. The fact it looks really cool is an added bonus. [ and yeah, that's him in the early footage. Note; he looks really uncomfortable. Most guitar players who could play like that would be out front, showing off ]. He's very special.

Wow...your ignorance is unmatched in life.

I had the privilege of seeing buckethead and les. Was mindblowing.

ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE " VEIN " ON HIS RIGHT HAND !!!

Great overview of the GOAT!

Thanks so much!

How does anyone manage to *not* accept that that's very clearly him playing with Class X given the known photo of him in Guitar magazine?! When you think about it, it's remarkable that he's managed to stay as private as he has in this day and age of ubiquitous camera phones and social media. I mean this is a guy of what, 6'7", who manages to get in and out of the venues he's performing in apparently without anyone snapping photos of him and then trying to jump on a "Buckethead unmasked" trip. Not to mention that he was a member of GnR for 4 years, I mean yes, they weren't as much in the spotlight as they were back in 1987 but it's all relative, I'm sure they still had a hell of lot of press following them, cameras on them and media commitments etc etc. I think it's great though, to have someone as insanely talented and successful as he is not be the slightest bit interested in chasing fame and for most of his fans and close associates to be evidently respectful and protective of that.

I find him fascinating haha. Brilliant guitar player, but just sounds like a totally kind person too. I remember when that Ozzy article came out when I was in high school (think I actually still have that Revolver magazine it was in). I never understood why Oz would want a guy like Buckethead in his band, but only if he ditched his whole onstage persona/image. That’s like ordering a McLaren from a dealership & then asking the mechanic to remove the engine & throw it into a Caravan.

The finger extension is so freaking cool

Discovered Shawn Lane through Buckethead. Two of the greatest

Here’s Buckethead’s guitar teacher Pebber Brown kzread.info/dash/bejne/hZij3JNvfLXgabQ.html&feature=shares He recently passed away but his guitar channel is still available. Although he had more than one teacher during his development Buckethead thanks Pebber in the liner notes of one of his albums for teaching him.

2005? I met Brian Carroll in the 90s..told all my friends about him..watched him play live several times..never played guitar hereo..I play bass and guitar so it was about figuring out what he was doing..practice, practice practice..learn scale,arpeggios, harmonics and finger speed..picking and slapping lol

How cool would guitar hero be in VR. That would be dope. That would definitely feel like actually being on stage and playing.

Met him backstage in 2000. He agreed to an interview via Herbie ...bc we were polite

Gracias from Texas 👍

@@slave_planet Watching porn at home, alone or in the company of consenting adults? Sure. Watching porn while sitting in a chicken coop in the recording studio of Guns n Roses when you should be recording? Ehhhh

There's people that don't believe that's Brian in the 88 footage? ROFLMAO, there's fools that think Elvis is still alive and McCartney is dead too. Brian was barely 19 in that footage. I still have the original digital quality VHS but it will sit until ir rots as it's not about money it's about history. At that age he could copy just about anything but I would get him to bring his shredding into old Classic Rock tunes such as the licks on the footage song Little Sister. Incredible and great hearted person. Pebber Brown joined that band shortly after Brian became Buckethead. Sadly Pebber has passed away.

Deli Creeps is the OG Buckethead...we know in the Bay Area

I'm too old to have played Guitar Hero, but the influence it had on kids just a little bit younger than me is definitely true. Jas Obrecht (not sure the spelling) has some amazing interviews with a young EVH.

Great upload..love me some buckethead

Thanks so much! Me too.

So in regards to the pre-Bucket 80s band clip… The guy is holding a Kramer guitar, the hardware, body, and headstock all line up with Bucketheads first known guitar which was that exact Kramer. Same model, literally the same guitar. Same guitar because thats Brian Carroll in the clip. I would like to argue with anyone who doesnt think so… Also Paul Gilbert name dropped his real name in videos over a few years, theres so much info out now. I liked it more when it was the mystery of the guitar world. Who is this bucket wearing, guitar wielding, ridiculously tall figure? That was the question… Stupid Internet. Ruined everything lol. Anyway, I enjoyed watching as I do all things Buckethead. Thanks!

"Ive been beemed up" had me dead 💀

I love the Guns n Roses statement so much. "It turns out, the reclusive prodigy who wears a KFC bucket on his head and does interviews via a hand-puppet isn't very reliable when transitioning between avant-garde underground shred soloism and one of the biggest touring bands in the world. Whoops!"

AMEN 🙏🏻🕊️🏳️😇💯 RIGHT ON👍🏻

Where was this concert? 9:37

It must be awesome to have a solid stern voice and look like someone who doesn't nearly belong to such a heavy voice box

Buckethead was just Buckethead. He was hard to communicate with because his head is on a different plain. My good friend from High School, Shawn Lane was much like Buckethead in nature. Shawn wasn't looking for fame. His love was for the music itself. Shawn is probably the only other soul that had open communication and understanding with Buckethead because they were literally on the same thought frequency. The genius level....

I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and am terrible at guitar hero. My fingers naturally want to play the correct way.

I would of loved to of been a fly on the Wall with bucket and Ozzy !! Haha

Axl rose literally had 2 of the top easily 50 guitarists

The first guitar hero controller was an SG. Guitar hero 2 had an Explorer, then 3 had the Les Paul.

Iron Man 0:28 lol played way too much GH
