there is a few more different pics on the b.c. forum. by the way, now that i am looking at both of them together, bucket is much taller than i thought. i think someone said he is about 6-3.........i say much more than that.

He\'s more like 6-6. People say Bootsy is that tall. Well if he is, Bucket is more like 6-8.

I think bootsy might be that tall with those effin platforms that he wears because with them on they\'re about the same height. That said, Bootsy is probably wearing \'normal\' shoes at NAMM. Dammit, we need to get someone who has met Buckethead up close that is good at guessing height :-/
i may be wrong and i hate assuming things, but i believe bucket was truly pretty sick. acute, chronic, life threatning, not sure. just my opnion and that is all. i hope i am wrong and it was just a simple fix. i have been following and admiring him for some time now, just like all of you and i hope things are well. being in the healthcare service (f/f medic), this is just a gut feeling. never met bucket, but it feels like i know him through his music. god bless him and his family. just wanted to express my feelings, sorry.
^^^ firefitz - why do you assume that his health was that bad? I\'m just wondering, that\'s all.
I was under the assumption that he has had back issues and/or an injury and that he had to have surgery.
^^^^ buckethead is fine now! See how radiant his face is when he smiles? It\'s almost like it\'s yellow or something. That\'s the sign of a happy alien.

it may be just back surgury, but taking a look at those videos, it looks like he looks thinner and frail. again i may be totally wrong.

No! Haven\'t seen that one yet! Looks like Buckethead likes his new LP! Post more if you\'ve got them!
Thx!
I hope he gets better soon...this video doesn\'t help hide the obvious he needs help with simple things like walking :\'(

^^I don\'t think it\'s so much that he needs help with walking but just Bootsy guiding Bucket where they need to go. Since bucket\'s face doesn\'t really fit, he has to tilt his head up to see where he\'s going. I don\'t claim to be an expert on this though.
I agree, I have a gut feeling that he was really sick or is still a wee bit iffy, I dunno why its just a feeling. I can relate to the guy who posted it here first. Strange...
New Album is amazing tho and he was well enough to show at namm so...adunno. MORE PLEASE BUCKET! MORE :)

I\'m going to have to agree with this. Buckethead\'s eyes don\'t match up with the little eye holes on his mask, it\'s more like cheek skin. Naturally I don\'t think he\'d be able to see all too well. He probably still is on the mend, but obviously he\'s feeling quite a bit better. :)
^^yay ;D
Only reason I say that is because I know when I have that mask on it\'s hard to see because the eye holes are at my lower eye/cheek.

This is a very plausible explanation, as it did seem to be a little odd to have Bootsy ushering Bh around like that Especially in a crowded and noisy room. Buckethead is known for slunking around anyway though.

actually i think thats quite a legitimate suggestion. before putting a mesh mask over his white mask we can see that the mask eye slots are slightly lower than his eyes, as shown in many pictures found on the net.
firefitz - you may be correct about him appearing thinner and frail but who knows. He is in his 40\'s now and has had possible back surgery which would have laid him out for at least 6 - 8 (possibly more.) I would assume that would make anyone look thin and frail.
My two cents on Bootsy guiding him around.
That has almost always been the case with Bucket when he\'s in a crowded area with tons of people taking pictures and yelling at them. It usually is P-Sticks job to keep a watchful eye to make sure Bucket is safe and gets where he needs t go. Bootsy just was making sure that they were moving along swiftly so no issues would arise.
Just my take. :)
My take is exactly the same as nothinglost. I keep thinking about p-sticks guiding the Bucket off stage at concerts. The faceplate to my badgerbot armor is designed to avoid visibility restriction, but still presents a challenge in a really crowded place. Nothinglost\'s other comments are right on point to my view. It\'s a good thing the Bucket never says anything or we\'d all go ape-sh_t imputing hidden meanings.
his hands got BIGGGERR! I bet he can reach from 1st fret too the 13th fret Eazy.
^^^lolz
As i recall Buckethead wears cloth over his eyes so you can\'t see them, in 08 he was walked on stage the same way at Toads, and i was in the front row.

When I saw him at Murray Theatre I am 100% sure that I could see his eyes and have seen numerous pictures with his eyes showing....
yes there is plenty of shots with his eye\'s but not lately, he was right in front of me it looked like he was wearing some kind of silk screen or a type of thin cloth. I took a pic of him right in front of me and im looking at it now and you can see it\'s covered. ;D Believe me i\'m not saying he does this all the time, but at the time i thought to my self why he was being helped on stage at the time it was dark when the lights came on at some point and standing right in front of me you could not see past his eye sockets,i said to myself jeez no wonder he needed help on stage, there screened.
Has everyone seen the ODB tribute where he\'s sticking his face straight in the camera with the leatherface mask on. I always wondered if thoses were his real teeth..? all pointy and what not? If you haven\'t seen it you should look it up WU-TANG baby!
I think those are part of the mask, as you can see his mouth behind the one in the mask. I have a similar mask and there\'s a mouth with some teeth in it.
