the best version, still hearing this version in 09/2023

i love how all of buckethead's lives are not quite the same as the recorded. some of the changes make them sound so much better.

Soothsayer is the most awe inspiring god damned awesome guitar song ever created. An the way he changes each live performances of it slightly is incredible

every time he plays this song, its different, and seems like every verson is amazing, and beautiful

How is it possible to hate on buckethead?? He is a musical GENIUS

this song is fucking incredible. he is so amazing at guitar its unbeleivable

4:08, when he sticks the guitar in front of the camera was awesome.

his solos are insane

his best live performance of this song ever.

man I cant stop listening to this song !!!I am officially a buckethead junkie!!

THE BEST GUITARIST ALIVE

this song is poetry

simply the best ever. youtube the 'bend, or' version of this song. just incredible

Was an awsome show wish i could go back to it!!!!!!!!

one of the best songs ever

His best song without doubt ... !

Best live Soothsayer I've ever seen.

@Bucket1Head3 I totally agree with you! I believe exactly the same, he wants us to focus on the music not the appearance and the faces he makes etc..... you are so right.

Beautiful song...

this goes to my favorites videos

Seriously my favourite video on youtube right now

omg its so wasome to see him playing live :O

If you're talking about what I think you are, it's done by doing a pick slide with a whammy pedal. It's pretty simple for something that sounds so awesome. :D

Hes a big man, in many ways

wow hope to see he live one day

It's okay guys, michaelny74 is just an internet 'tuff guy'. He poses no threat to us whatsoever.

this songs an anthem... i wanna like die to this song it sounds like death, likenot emo but like real dark and it be could to die to this song...

just,the best!!!

4:08 - 4:10 coolest fucking thing ive ever seen. especially on what crazy bend. fuck man, i envy Buckethead.

props on the vid! i wanna see him live so bad... to bad he like never comes to canada

I was wondering if I was thinking the same just because I was there. I've seen him twice and none of the vids on youtube can compare to seeing him live.

That's it!! Things that deserve 0 dislike :)

Yes, new guitar, first used on may 30

He uses a lot of different tunings,but if your referring to this specific song then it's actually in regular D# or Eb as a lot of people call it.

...and I was there, too

I was there...awesome video...

proof that he can do more than just shred.

i would kill to have 1% of his talent

39 years

At 4:12 those bends *o*, amazing!!!

And he has succeeded.

@imthunderstruck It's a switch on the floor thats connected to his amp. I've got one and it's just a basic thing. :)

That's amanzing

They say that a picture says more then 1000 words, but soothsayer says more then 1000 pictures....; ' )

@Bucket1Head3 Very true man, and because he can't show people his feelings in his face because they probably won't understand.

How did you know that?? Then he should come to Georgia more often damn it!

I checked the Hospital Birth records for Georgia, I know someone who works there and confirmed it, he was born in Marrietta Georgia.. And he probably avoids georgia because he's adopted a new look, if he were Brian Carol then he'd probably perform in Georgia, but I don't think Buckethead would..

there's nothing to learn!! its just a whammy pedal and some vibrato on the string itself. and yeah, i agree it sounds awsome!!

yeah I noticed that too :p

No one calls him brian but his mother its Buckethead to you

i agree

You can call a musician good if he's live as good as in the studio... Buckethead... Is better live. He just adds things that make his songs even better than the studio version.

the reason the camera shook at 5:00 is because of all the jizz pouring out

The Squeels he does at 4:02-4:10 are sick. I wanna learn that.

the apocolypse is nigh he dropped the colonel bucket

lol yeah

me to OMG LOL

elastic

bloody hell look at the size of his feet at the start of the video. also i think thats a new guitar, cuz usualy the headstock is white and here it looks black, maybe its just the lighting i dunno. buckethead 4 life =]

39 now

5:00 whoops! :D

whoops, i just watched again, headstock is white, my mistake just ignore that last comment

So when is Gibson going to release a Buckethead signature Les Paul model?

Does anyone know which WAH pedal he's using? It's so awesome, so loud and so bright. (starting at 2:06).?

confuses me when somebody says that buckethead is just another shredder, if you dont hear the emotion in his music your ears are fucked up

we all are lol

it are fact i now it cus i edited teh article on wikipediasz

I love 4:09 :P

does anybody know when he's coming to North Carolina?

oh btw pauly88walnuts, its that same guitar hero game that got me into playing real guitar so shuv it bud. no room for haters

he's talllllll

Wow! did Bucket get a new guitar? cuz the whole guitar looks different than the old he used

@nightshadetheexorcis U don't have to kill or get that drastic..lol. Just do what Bucky did to get where he is Skill-Wise. 6- 8 hrs a day of practice for 10-15 yrs with good teachers.

And they say buckethead has no soul

lmao

Hes Bucket "brian Carrol" head..lol.. His birthname is only a nickname.. Another fun fact, apparently he was born near my town in Marrietta Georgia..

AHAHAHAHA 7:13!!!!!

@pinkpuppyball than, not then.

I was there, an absolutely magical performance. Afterwards, there was semen everywhere.

Then you aren't a buckethead fan. BUCKETHEAD wants people to appreciate him for his music. Not for who he is. WHY DO YOU THINK HE HIDES HIMSELF LIKE THIS?

Wow, he actually got off beat in this song at one point in the early half of it. That kinda surprised me, but otherwise sounds better than the album version I think.

does he have a sustainer on his les paul?

Do you know what gauge strings he uses? Iv'e always wondered, but im guessing just regular 009's.

he's gotta have ice packs or somethin in his bucket. otherwise you'd be sweatin like crazy in that mask and jumpsuit.

what does he use to get rid of his distortion to get that clean tone?

The guitar in this song has weird timing. Bring the bucket, baby.

its live...everyone changed their shit a bit live

i think buckethead uses drop D# tuning

No dude, he doesn't have face damage, I've seen his face, he wears it so he can be judged on how he plays and not how he looks.

Is his guitar plugged in wirelessly?

Jesus... Paul Gilbert, Angelo Batio, they have nothing on this guy. So much feeling, and stuff at 5:04 and on, that's at the 20TH FRICKIN FRET. Try that for a finger squeezer.

you obviously didnt finish listening to the song.

Saying Lester Polsfuss doesn't make you sound smart, if that's what your were aiming for. You're probably the only person I've ever seen that doesn't just say Les Paul. Big deal, you were right. Why the fuck would I be caring about the type of guitar he's using.

I Guarantee that all u people discovered Buckethead through Guitar Hero.... Its sad when the only way u can get ur music to the public is through a video game

@nightshadetheexorcis Is that how it works? *Goes on murder spree*

lol,yea,and he turns 40 soon

i have to disagree, i can also play it, not the whole thing but half of it, and its not hard like Concretewaaves said it does take practice.

well ive seen him used ibanez before so y not? lololol just kidding. he bareley uses the flo :P

wow shut up the paul gilbert theory has been disproven over and over. they're nowhere near the same height, and besides paul was europe last week while i saw buckethead live last week too. so there you have it.

Sounds a lot like dimebag in parts. Not like hes copying or anything tho'. \m/_
