Buckethead Rulez!
No...ignore the Guns & Roses B.S..
This mysterious guitarist is one of the freshest musicians out there in rock. I downloaded some tracks from his albums and fell off my chair. Innovative, creative, mysterious and talented. Why haven't I've heard of this dude 'til now (first heard of him through Les Claypool's stuff)? He's been around for about 5 years or more...let's hope that all this G&R crap he had to go though doesn't hurt his career...I'm definately getting some of his CDs.

Buckethead!
Artman, you must buy 'Giant Robot'. It's got Bootsy on it, the immortal 'I Come In Peace', in which a 50-foot-tall Buckethead lays Tokyo to waste with notes from his guitar, liberating chickens from fast food outlets to lead them to the safety of a fortified chicken coop on Mount Fuji, and 'I Love My Parents', with a string quartet and the most beautiful melody you've ever heard.
Try the Praxis album on Bill Laswell's Axiom label: its basically Buckethead with members of Funkadelic and Bad Brains. Monster avant-garde funk music with the most incredible guitar you've ever heard.
The best Buckethead album I have is actually by a bass player called Jonas Hellborg: an all-acoustic album with a bass, guitar and drums trio. Very moving, very unusual. Like nothing else I have, really.
This is the last train to Bucketheadland!
<strong>YES YES YES.

Grabbed some of the Praxis shit off KaZa and it's awesome. And Giant Robot is another I'm getting. Heard some of the acoustic stuff you mentioned and that's what floored me.
Also downloaded two videos off KaZa; one G&R/Bucket Live in Rio doing "Live and Let Die"...not bad! And also a quicky Buckethead solo from the same show.
I would also recommend getting the P2P software Further (www.furthernet.org) and download the Les Claypool/Buckethead Bonnaroo Live Jams...it is all that.
Thanks for the recommendations! <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
