Okay, I\'m not all that demanding. I know tours aren\'t easy, let alone international tours, but I\'ve always been curious why Buckethead hasn\'t played over here on my shores? Is it all to do with fan base and profit? Obviously money is a factor - there\'s not much point if you\'re going to lose money, but I\'d bet there\'s a lot of Buckethead fans in the UK\'s major cities that would pay to see him. Obviously at the moment he\'s out of action, but when I watch these YouTube videos over and over again I can\'t help but think I\'m missing out on something beautiful.
Anyone else here from the UK share my sentiment?

Feel exactly the same way.. i did see Bucket with GNR in 2002 at Leeds Festival (myself & a friend wore KFC buckets on our heads all day as a tribute, they even got through the Slipknot pit, hahaha!), and that was amazing, but i can\'t believe 8 years have passed since that amazing night, and no sign of any UK Tour. I understand the financial factors involved, but it doesn\'t make it any easier. Been listening to Colma all week in my car, and just wish one day i could go and see Bucket here in England and maybe swap a toy (although i\'m not a collector - but i\'d buy one just for him, haha!).
Who knows, maybe once he\'s back on the road, he\'ll come by this little pond and pay us a visit.
Great post "In Search Of The", i\'m sure we\'re not the only ones who share your sentiments.
Come and see us soon Bucket...and get well soon
Look at my sig.
Newcastle Metro Arena? Yeah! I know there will be at least three people there (Me being one of them!) ;)
Seriously though, I\'d be willing to travel to somewhere far away like London (from Newcastle) for a night to see him.
It would be a great idea for a comeback tour! *Hint-hint* ;)
