Perhaps the sad reality is that there actually ARE so many virtuoso-level guitarists coming out of the Berklee and other conservatories that commercially successful touring guitarist-personalities actually need a hook to stay noticed: Buckethead's bucket and makeup, Yngwie's "doughnut maestro" lacy sleeves, Eddie's brown stubby teeth...

He's a showman in the entertainment industry. Broaden your perspective. Music is about a hell of a lot more than just playing pretty notes on a fretboard. Consider ZZ Top, Kiss, Bowie and a million others. It's hard to make a living in this industry just playing for musicians. And anyway, what's wrong with entertainment?

Anyone who uses ANY certain clothing, mannerisms, way of lighting, guitar-as-statement beyond mere instrument, prop, etc., is using showmanship. I'd guess that any of us who gig do this to some extent. Even our on-stage personalities are often "put on", at least a bit, all for the sake of the show. The smell of the greasepaint, the roar of the crowd. Nobody goes on naked (and if they do, that's a gimmick, too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members laker Posted September 18, 2006 Members Share Posted September 18, 2006 Ok, I see your point. My opinion is that he looks silly with that stupid bucket on his head. For me , it takes something away from his very good playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flatfacerincone Posted September 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2006 I use to actually think the dude was crazy, and actually was raised in a chickencoop, ect, but one of my former coworkers actually met the Bucketman. Hes actually related to him somehow through his step-sisters' cousins' brother in laws dogs' pet parakeet, something extremely convoluted and whatnot. Anyway, my buddy Uri plays keys, and got to jam with the guy (without the bucket,). He says hes an incredibly down to earth guy and an absolutely AMAZING guitarist. Other than being ridiculously tall, Uri said he was totally normal. It just makes you wonder whats up with the bucket... I mean, hes obviously got enough talent to make it on his own. To each his own i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
