Very, Very cool from Pat...
I seeing things like this, just shows that Bucket is highly regarded as an amazing person/musician from a guy like Pat... Heart Warming I say! :P
Awesome find!!!!
That is awesome. Some "street cred" Pat is one great guitar player.
nice. :)
Love seeing BH get the credit he deserves
Major thread bump here but I found another quote from Pat, from the late '90s:
I have been following bucketheads thing closely since he came on the scene about 10 years ago now. he is an interesting player that has found a way of dealing with the instrument techinically that is really extraordinary. he also seems pretty fearless as an improvisor in the best sense of the word. i always try to stay up on what he is doing and i always enjoy hearing him. i think i heard that he is going to join guns and roses or something like that? i may skip that one...axl's vibrato doesn't really do it for me... but i am sure that buckethead will bring something hip to the table.
