Title: Why do I like Buckethead\'s Toy Store so much?
Post by: fdsman on May 29, 2010, 12:39:26 AM
That and all the other songs on Giant Robot, they all have this flow that I haven\'t found in any other album.

Giant Robot, to me is one of Buckethead\'s best works he has ever done, it has alot of his most classic songs he\'s ever written and has a feeling like no other, it really takes you into the concept of the abusmentpark that is Bucketheadland.

and plus Buckethead\'s toystore is a really neat toystore, 8) you have to keep getting out of others way to get there so they come back for more wax horse teeth and zillatron dual doll packs.

I can\'t find Giant Robot. :(

Also, I read there are two albums entitled "Giant Robot." There\'s Buckethead\'s album, and there\'s also an album by the Buckethead group called Giant Robot. Oh, and Wikipedia even shows a Giant Robot demo by Buckethead.

3 Giant Robot releases!

I think it is timeless.

You can get the NTT as a free download because it\'s out of print.

There... Download Mrs. Beasley first. I think it could be one of the best tracks Buckethead\'s ever done.

Thanks for the link, Goose! I downloaded the whole album and Jordan, but I\'ve only listened to Mrs. Beasley. The song is pretty much a guitar solo. ;D

Jordan is available legitimately from Amazon.com

My bad. That\'s why I don\'t normally download stuff. I don\'t know what\'s actually free and what\'s not. I haven\'t listened to it yet, so I\'ll just delete it.

NTT is really out of print right? (Even so, I think it\'s still technically illegal to download it. I\'m not familiar with piracy laws, but for instance, it\'s illegal to download out of print video games, so I assume that\'s the same with music.)

I am not an attorney or expert on those legal things. Giant Robot NTT is definitely OOP for the foreseeable future. Just thought  I would point you or anyone interested to the MP3 single. It\'s quite a deal for 0.99!

Hey.. don\'t forget Siren 19... the unreleased Giant Robot album from 2007.. there\'s not a lot of info available about it but if you\'re clever and resourceful you can indeed obtain this rare collectible. I like it. A lot.

smooches,

I love Giant Robot, one of the very first Buckethead releases I heard and I was blown away. Before Buckethead I had a very narrow music taste and this world was very bold and confusing. He was daring. The albums I used to listen to, talking and monologues were shunned, I would have never dreamed listening to a little girl talk about her walk on the beach with Buckethead! I\'ve never looked back and it really is a gem.

The one thing I don\'t get about it though, people shun it because of the "low production values" but the fact is, that makes the album retain a deep, rich, earthy sound. Listen to the crisp sound of the drums. You can feel every pick Buckethead does. Pure, raw entertainment for just over an hour.

"Can we go on this trip again?
That was the last train, did you enjoy it?
Kinda. It was kind of scary, but I liked it.
Do you want to go back again?
Yeah!
When?
Next summer!"
