Hello Travis! I didn\'t know where else to go so I thought I\'d ask you. My brother is a huge buckethead fan, he started playing guitar because of buckethead 2 years ago and has acquired a majority of the buckethead albums over the years. More to the point, I would like to get a piece of memorabilia (and by this I mean ANYTHING) signed by buckethead for his birthday this coming June 4th. I have had great difficulty finding any business contact information for your recording studio and contact info for buckethead fanmail/requests. I figured you were the best person to ask and so I was wondering if you could emaily a reply to my registered address in regards to acquiring ANYTHING signed by buckethead. I\'d of course cover shipping+cost of poster/album/bucket+any kind of fee you deem necessary. Please respond ASAP as his birthday is in less than 3 weeks.
Thank you in advance for your consideration
~Buckethead fan~
This is highly unlikely, sorry.
Your best bet for signed stuff is eBay, trying to get an original In Search of The..., Blueprints, Cyborg Slunks, DCK or a painting print.
Be prepared to pay high prices, though if you do go to eBay. People want a high price for this kind of stuff, which is understandable.
Good luck, anyway. 8)
I get this request every day. I responded to your email, but for the benefit of those who may also ask, I\'ll post my rely here. I know I\'ve posted it here many time in the past, but there have been so many more requests lately that I may have to but a sticky on the forum. But here is what I have been telling everyone:
Hello,
Sorry, but Buckethead has not been signing things for the last few years. He gets so many requests for signed things that to be fair to everyone he doesn\'t sign merchandise sold here anymore. The best bet for a signature it to catch him at a live show, sometime he will sign things there. Sorry I can\'t be of more help.
Travis
You can get a really snazzy Travis autograph, though! I have the Dragons poster signed and framed on my wall and it looks awesome. Travis even uses pens that look good on whatever he signs.
Yes, forget about that Buckethead guy, he\'s only playing guitar. Better ask Travis, he\'s playing the keys! ;-)
Travis signed my new copy of Dragons. ;D
And it\'s personalised to me! 8)
It\'s a great album!

Me too!!! 8)
Travis I think it would be super neato if you added a "Signed CD" option to all BH cds, like what john 5 has
charge a little extra for signatures or something, that way he gets something out of it

That would be cool but since BH isn\'t at the studio all the time it would hard to do. Just an idea... maybe BH would consider a signed cd day? for some extra $$ whatever cd you buy that day BH will sign it? And to keep the greedsters and ebay resellers at bay, limit it to one signature per buyer/address?
I personally would love to get Bucketheads signature and not have to pay for it on ebay. That is the crown jewel missing from my collection. Like alot of fans who don\'t live in the continental US, I haven\'t had many chances to see him live (plus what I\'ve heard from recent tours is that he\'s not hanging out after the show to meet and greet with fans anymore).
Another thought... I would pay for some signed BH memorabilia if Travis was to sell some in a TDRS auction.
and an afterthought...
To Travis, as one of those people who always asks if there is any chance Buckethead can sign my stuff everytime I buy something, I apologize for harassing you and wasting your time. I realize there is only a one in a million chance of it happening, but when it comes to Big B it\'s a chance I\'m willing gamble on. It\'s like buying a lottery ticket, you know your not gonna win but it\'s nice to dream and hey - a one in a million chance is better than no chance. For now on the only signature I will harass you about it yours. All the items you personally have signed for me are totally awesome and I appreciate that you take the time to do it. Thank you!
^ I ask every time as well ::)
No worries, it never hurts to ask. I\'m just giving the odds of actually having it happen. And yes, for what it\'s worth, I\'m always happy to sign anything, just ask me on the comments section when ordering.

If I remember, I\'ll likely ask you if you\'d sign Iconography when I get around to ordering it. Do signatures cost extra? :D
^^^ no, they don\'t
Quote^^^ no, they don\'t
Thanks.
Just being able to see Buckethead in person is enough of a treat for me, which I have only been able to achieve once. :-[
I wish I could see Buckethead in person...

Damn you, global economy!!!
LOL I can see Alex fuming all the way over here. ;D
