Buckethead
“buckethead is fn nuts.”
“hes better then all of them
hes creative
composes really well
plays like an animal!”
“Buckethead's unique style and impossible guitar solos make him the best guitarist. No one can or has gotten close to how wonderful his style sounds. Nor has a guitarist been able to rip such insane, long guitar solos. If Buckethead isn't using his trademark style, he is playing metal/techno/chicken-picking/thrash metal/experimental/jazz/rock/and many more.
Buckethead cannot be on top because of simply his popularity. He chose to release his albums secretly and let it out by word, so only about two people know his name(under-exageration). Just buy an album and see for yourself, you will find yourself a new favorite.”
“Buckethead plays with so much emotion no one can match it.”
“Buckethead has mastered evrery style. A complete virtuoso with an album catalog every artist on this list could appreciate. Buckethead is a guitar God.”
“Bucketehad is pure...his music is precise and mind bending. He is pure imagination, talent and technique. I fins no other worth listening to. FUN!”
“Buckethead is the best guitarist ever in any genre. His heart and soul is in every song he writes. Not to mention his actual talent on guitar, as he, in my opinion, has the best technical skill ever.”
“magical, theatrical, scary,beautiful if u open your mind and your ears he music can changer your life!!!!”
“Buckethead has a very rare ability to tell stories and portray feelings through his guitar. That makes his music very special to me. He is much more then just a "bag of tricks" like a lot of so called amazing guitarists.”
“A mutant virtuoso who play decades ahead of his time.”
“Buckethead is a true inspiration. He rips too.”
“Buckethead is one of the fastest guitarists this world will ever know. He also is a brilliant musician and songwriter. In addition, he is also very talented, as he can play the guitar, bass, and drums.”
“Too bad only few people understand his more wicked kind of stuff. It amazes me again and again.”
“You name em, I've seen em live. Except Hendrix. Buckethead is the best live performance I've ever seen. He's absolutely unbelieveable. Unique, rare talent.”
“I love jimmy page, slash, brian may, van halen etc but i must say, buckethead is no doubt the greatest! He always improve the songs hes playing. He's such a talent regarding musicstyles.”
“he's the best guitar player ever have you heard welcome to bucketheadland it's one big solo. It's wonderul.”
“Buckethead has a unique style. His skills are well over most guys on this list. He has often showed how talented he is regardless genre.”
“Buckethead is the greatest guitarist ever. His playing style is so innovative and ahead of its time, the mainstream probably won't appreciate it for awhile. Listen to Nottingham Lace and the live version of Jordan/Post Office Man if you don't believe me.”
“Buckethead is just Great.
He got a uniqe style his not like the others. Israel love BH .”
“Not only does Buckethead shred like none other, but he also knows when to slow it down, take it easy, put on the brakes. He has an uncanny sense of how to develop music using only his instrument that is virtually incomparable, and he does it in an extremely wide variety of styles. Soft and soothing, brutally hard, funky grooves, experimental electronic, bluesy, country even. He takes dissonance and makes beauty. He takes beauty and makes masterpieces. He incorporates a great sense of humor and eccentricity into his work as well, and by the nature of most of his releases (indie/underground) he obviously is doing it for the love of music, not for stardom.”
“Most dynamic and diverse guitar player ever! Uber creative. Supper fast. King of ambient and shred guitar and everything in-between. Plus he releases like 5 good albums every year!”
“Buckethead is the GREATEST guitarist ever. This guy changed my life! brap brap!”
“No disrespect to all the others, they are all huge influences in people's lives. But Buckethead is currently my main influence... I never get sick of his licks! Damn that sounded gay, sorry! Count my vote for Buckethead being the best contemporary guitarist in the world!”
“Amazing guitarist. :)”
“he is nasty he should be i little higher”
“BUCKETHEAD. CHICKEN PICKIN, FRET BURNING, KILLSWITCHING. HE PLAYS BETTER THAN MOST GUITARISTS IN MORE GENRES THAN ANYONE ELSE. BEST”
“born in a coop, raised in a cage, children fear and critics rage, hes half alive, hes half dead,
folks call em buckethead.
”
“Buckethead is by far the best guitarist ever and deserves to be 1 on this list he is so amazing even imagining his fingers moving when he is playing jordan is mind blowing if prince can play jordan or any of his other songs ill let u kick me in the nuts”
“Buckethead is a guitar god, I just wish the world would know about him.”
“Buckethead is God...I love somwe of the others on this list but nobody on it is even in the same league”
“psyco guitarist”
“buckethead proved he can play everything slash can play note for note... the question is can anyone play his original stuff note for note...”
“TO A STRANGER BUCKETHEAD IS JUST A FREAKISH GUY IN A MASK AND HAS A BUCKET ON HIS HEAD BUT TO PEOPLE LIKE ME(GUITARIST WHO PLAYS LIKE BUCKETHEAD)HE IS A PERSON WHO POURS OUT HIS EMOTION INTO HIS MUSIC. ALL OF HIS SONGS TELL STORIES OF RAGE,SADDNESS AND CAREFREE HAPPINESS.THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE EVER WHO WILL COME CLOSE TO HIM BOTH IN SKILL AND IN STORY.HE IS A EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU CAN MAKE IT FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP "THERE ARE LOTS OF WAYS TO GET FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP ITS KIND OF LIKE DIGGING A HOLE"-BUCKETHEAD”
“bucket head can play like no other, He can bust out awsome solos or just rip like crazy. From metal to techno to Guitar Hero II, he is a god.”
“Check out buckethead, no one comes close, hes a robot behind a guitar”
“AMAZING!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<”
“Jordan is the best guitar solo I have ever heard, he is one of the best, if not THE best.”
“Buckethead with no doubt, is the Best guitar of this time. He can do awesome solos, imposible solos for the other guitarist. If only more people know about Buckethead, this guy will be on top. But for me and for a lot of people Buckethead is the best.”
“i want to see prince play buckethead”
“buckethead is by far the most talented and gifted guitarist you will ever hear. its a shame that his music often overlooked simply because most dont understand his style. at the core though, there is no one better at soloing or inventing new sounds”
“brian carrol aka buckethead kicks soooo much ass! listen to nottingham lace and prepare to have your face melted! or any other songs of his for that matter! woot!!”
“Great Guitar Player”
“"everyone should take a good hard listen to Buckethead! He is a genius & easily the most talented guitar player of our time!"”
“the best!”
“Although this dude may be the weirdest guy on the planet, He can freakin play. Besides the classical greats,I've never seen anyone with as cool of a style and solos.”
“his songs are truly both amazing and unique. i love his style and he's just an all around shredder!!”
“Buckethead is no doubt in the top 3 guitarist to ever walk the face of this earth - period.”
“that song jordan its amazing that a person could play that with out messing out wow this guy is a guitar god”
“If the world would know about Buckethead, he wasn't in that place. Better than Prince and better than Slash. He must be on a higher position.”
“Buckethead is easily one of the greatest guitarists ever. Not only is his style unique, but he plays incredibly intricate solos at lightning speeds. He is the greatest”
“come on .. no one can compare to him. hes number one. make him number one!!!!”
“buckethead is the fastest,greatest sounding guitarist ive heard so far, i like his music alot because of the diversity in it, the great sound, fast solos and monsterous tapping.”
“buckethead is one in a trilliion”
“I can not understand how people could vote for prince or hendrix befor voting for dimebag or buckethead, maybe hendrix was good and innovative, but this voting is named "the best" and technically buckethead outclass em all! i still cant understand how people could vote for prince...”
“listen to Android Of Notre Dame thats real talent Buckethead for number one”
“Buckethead is one of the fastest, most unique Guitarist's the world has seen. His strange blend of Killswitches, and effect pedal's are a sure win at how he uses them.
Buckethead is a demon, and will alway's be un-beatable. Respect the Chicken~”
“Just because he chooses to be underground doesnt mean he is not as good as prince or hendrix, hendrix is the best DISTORTIONIST, overall, buckethead is the best guitarist EVER. no one else on the list could even play half as good as him when they were 38!”
“Buckethead is the greatest guitarist ever because of his complete diversity and technical prowess. He has written 14 albums worth of songs. He has songs ranging from the heaviest thrash metal to the most tear jerking blues songs. I don't know which dumbass put Prince in front of Buckethead but Buckethead (in my opinion) is the greatesr musical performer in history.”
“Buckethead can do anything he wants. He can shred like no other man. He can do sols with so much emotion and talent in them. A brilliant song writer and the biggest innovator to guitar sence Jimi.”
“Virtuoso in every way. Only guitarists of the virtuoso's (vai satch gilbert malsteem) to play ambient rock. Jazz, Metal, Funk, Chiken pickin, Classical... he can do it all! Brian is the man!”
“buckethead has more skill on his guitar than anyone i've ever seen do anything else.”
“in my opinion... better than hendrix”
“To a Person who never heard of Buckethead
Buckethead should be in top 5 because of his TRADEMARK Style, Hes Signiture guitar playing makes him the BEST!!!! . People in present time likes music because of apearences,and looks down on buckethead because he wears a KFC bucket and a micheal myers mask,but belive me Bucketheads playing is from another planet and is almost IMPOSIBLE to copy such playing.
Go see him in youtube.com and search for "Padmasana", "Soothsayer","Final Wars" and Prepared to be blown :)”
“buckethead is a great guitarist. he is also a great person too. he gives out toys for all his fans in his shows. i think that he's our eras greatest guitarist right now.”
“buckethead is freakin awesome!!!!!
”
“#1”
“Buckethead is absolutely amazing. He makes music that can bring a tear to your eye, and go to the other side and make head-banging music. The solos he writes are flat out brilliant.”
“Simply unbelievable. Buckethead is not only the fastest, but he can play the solos for extreme amounts of time. In Nottingham Lace he goes for about 4 minutes of shredding. Buckethead is a machine.”
“Buckethead can play so fast that you can't even see his fingers move half the time. Even in the middle of a solo he will change keys. He will do a major solo and kick right into a minor solo the next second. It's crazy”
“thats just crap that buckethead is not number one, he can play while doing the robot, he was raised by chickens, if you see him play he almost never looks down at his guitar while shredding, and he has a (probably uncomfortable) mask on. He is better than anyone, i don't care what anyone says.”
“Without a doubt the most insane solos i have ever seen, simply amazing!!!”
“Buckethead may not be very popular but that does not mean the list should not be accurate.”
“Absolutely incredible and totally inspirational. I can't listen to his music without going "Wow" every time.
It would definitely complete my life to see this guy perform live.”
“He is so underrated. If he got out there, he could be so famous. But he decides to not be the hair-flippin' rock guy like everyone else. He does want to be famous, he just wants to play his guitar.”
“he should be #1”
“Wow I just seen Buckethead on youtube he is the best Ive heard all I can say is WOW”
“buckethead is sick! he's awesome! anyone wearing a kfc bucket on their head is awesome. just listen to jordan”
“crazy imagination.
he has to have one to play the stuff he plays WOW”
“buckethead is an underground god he is not the common rock/metal guitarist. I would say that he plays his own music. Amazing, mysterious, PERFECT...”
“The sounds he makes are amazing!?!”
“every variety of music is there with his own amazing style, I cried the first time I heard sail on soothsayer and too many humans is just genius”
“I think Buckethead is the greatest guitarist ever because he's got the most insane riffs I've ever seen in my life. If you've seen Jordan on Expert in Guitar Hero II, it's un-humanly retarded, and it's only 3 times harder on a real guitar”
“The Only Reason like somebody said it that Buckethead is not more up is just simply because of the popularity. Slash & Prince Can´t Really Play Guitar Buckethead Is In Another League Than Them. There Just Because Of Their Popularity Up. On This lIst A Lotta Guys Beeter Than Them. Buckethead Is So Much Underground But Still 6th Place, Thats So Incredible He Worked His Way Up Without Any Fame, Just With His Guitar Skills. That´s Why He Is The Best Guitarist Of All Time.”
“He is insane and actualy replaced Slash I think of Guns n roses and has done reli hard stuff like 8 finger tapping and very quick playing and then can imediately change to blues and not piss up so he reli is!”
“Buckethead is amazing. There is no reason for him to be below Synyster Gates. Syn is a joke.”
“His style is unmatchable. I'm going to a buckethead show tomorrow in Pittsburgh!”
“Buckethead.. this man should be ahead of Synyster, I've seen both live.. Gates was terrible and tore apart the Pantera cover of Walk. Buckethead on the other hand has a knack for being better live then studio, which is a mark of a truly great artist, Buckethead deserves more credit than he gets. I'll enjoy the fanboys of A7X voting for gates though. "I are metal head, A7X! " Haha.. I'm a metal head, and I can tell you, Syn is terrible, he can't even finger tap that well, which is all he can freakin do now, if you want a guitar player who taps with precision and speed Buckethead is your man. Along with Eddie Van Halen. Buckethead could very well be number 1 if this was based on pure skill.”
