Buckethead review – All About Jazz
Here’s another review of Buckethead from the All Good Music Festival that I thought fans might want to read. It seems Bucket had some technical hitches earlier on in his set but that didn’t seem to phase him as yet another review comes back with positive results!
As if we’d expect anything less of Buckethead…
After the bromance that was Austin/Bayliss came to a close, All Good was treated to a set by a cult of personality unlike any other on the bill. Buckethead took the stage amidst technical difficulties but after the sound decided to play nice he had the audience wrapped around his finger. As he nunchucked and breakdanced across the stage from behind his mask, the guitarist born Brian Carroll weaved between funk and speed metal in no time at all. With no back-up band, Buckethead opted to perform with a pre-recorded track. Although this makes you wonder how much a Buckethead setlist can truly vary from night to night, it demonstrated a remarkable sense of rhythm and near-perfect memory as he tapped and shredded his audience’s faces off. His white Les Paul has two customized toggle buttons that seemed to have been taken right off an arcade consol, and in his gigantic hands, his guitar looked like a videogame controller to be manipulated for his own enjoyment.

he did have some difficulties. it was the first time i’ve ever seen p-sticks actually try and play his guitar to check the levels. P-sticks also tuned and leveled bheads back up guiitar as well. last time i saw him at bbkings bucket broke his new guitar while he was roundhouse kicking those little heads off his amps.
Wow, it’s cool to get comments from people who have actually experienced Buckethead live… it’s a dream I still hold onto. Thanks for visiting BHO and welcome!
One day I’ll get to see him
One day…
Buckethead was one of the festival’s highlights for sure. I loved every second of his set. especially as a die-hard guitar player myself. I love seeing unique playing (recently got to see Tom Morello as The Nightwatchmen), so Buckethead was insane! good review. it’s pretty accurate from how I remember it!
Cool, thanks for the comment and welcome to BHO
Sounds like everyone had a great time at Buckethead’s concert
