Travis, how does it feel to have Mr. Viggo mention his work w/you in this recent article? ;)
>Viggo after the reign
By LISA WILTON -- Calgary Sun
In September, the ruggedly handsome actor will release an instrumental CD, entitled Please Tomorrow, on which he collaborated with son Henry and Japanese guitarist Buckethead.
"It\'s about the work in the end," he says. "That\'s the enduring thing.
"It\'s doing it and learning from it that\'s the most fun, I found. I love being in the recording studio and seeing what happens and the surprises that do happen." <
So, Travis, what kind of \'surprises\' happen in the studio? :D
Ever curious--

japanese inspired guitarist buckethead?
"So, Travis, what kind of \'surprises\' happen in the studio?"
You can find out on Sept 1. Of coarse the really interesting stuff is like Vegas, it stays here.
"japanese inspired guitarist buckethead?" that\'s a good one Chris, it will be interesting to see what this morphs into after it travels around the net for awhile.
how about "buckethead-inspired japanese guitarist"? ;)
Thanks Travis! I\'ll be looking forward to Sept. 1st! ::)
Peace,

It\'s actually been on the net for quite some time. I remember reading that a month or two ago , if not longer? And yeah , some threads popped up about the "japanese" wording. :)
I was made aware of Buckethead by accident. A distributor forwarded, "Colma" to my address. I didn\'t even realize it was in the file until I read a review, months later, that said Buckethead was the greatest living guitarist in the world today.
That impressed me, considering the talent that is out there.
Then low and behold, days later , I discovered his CD in my files.
Amazing music! I\'m also a massage therapist and that music is perfect for the atmosphere of peace and relaxation.
Re: The "Japanese" reference to BH. I think people take license with their imagination , regarding his ethnicity, because all they see is that beautiful long, wavy black hair, when he does make a public appearance. The KFC bucket and or mask, keep the publics subjective predelections at bay, since they can\'t gain a true visual of this man. So their imaginations run wild trying to put a face to the talent, they think of as mutually exclusive.
I think it would be a beautiful thing if, in the end, it was discovered that Buckethead is a Native American female! Just to watch those that applied all that judgement and imagining, drop to their knee\'s in the literal "face" of it all.

not to nit pick, but buckethead has brown curly hair.
also back in the mid 90\'s on one gig review the reporter was calling buckethead a girl for the entire review. :-/
I wonder how many "Buckets" Buckethead has in his wardrobe!?! :D
No sweat bebe. I don\'t call setting me straight, "nitpicking". I appreciate knowing the correct facts ,when I\'m wrong. ;)
I saw a picture of him once and it appeared as if his hair was jet black. My error. Thanks again Darlin. :)
I read in some buckethead interview that he has over 40 old-school (stripes & colonel) buckets to choose from! Who knows? He could probably afford to have any buckets made of any style or texture...and as many as he wants. There\'s no way on Earth that bucketbotchickenboy is a girl.
With all respect; how is there "no way" BH is a girl!?
And please don\'t reference, "no boobs".
Have you taken a look at some of Hollywierd\'s female celebrities walking the red carpet\'s lately!? :-/
"I\'m not anorexic, I\'m couture!"
*smacks self* Bad Ocean, bad, bad!

*font color edit* How do you get Blue from inputting "lime green" from the font color list!?*[/size]
if you take a really good look at the photos of BH that are around, including on this site, you can see that the build, musculature, hands, neck and other parts visible all strongly point to male gender. not that it wouldn\'t be possible to meet a woman with those physical attributes, but you would more likely meet her in the athletic arena than the musical. neck and hands like that are really a male trait.
not knowing what BH\'s face looks like i would have to guess but with all the other features visible, i would say he\'d make a very striking woman, but i doubt strongly that he is one. except maybe for the occasional saturday night adventure ;) mind turning to lurid thoughts... sigh... :-*
:o :o :o :o You two stay out of the Gutter NO No No kidding but ya strayed close thats very easy to do in one of these talks Bucket is Not a Women, Man but a Fowl me thinks closly in realation to a dinosaur but then thats coming from a Dog like me, Hek he could be a Robot eva think of that Hmmm, also He\'s sorta like Silent Bob I saw him talking at the Empire show, I ain\'t gonna ask Travis thou reads like I just did... :P
Chris
even robots have gender, or i hope they do...
life would be pretty damn dull without a little time near the gutter, sweet thing. :-*
Gutter? Did someone say \'gutter\'? :o My mind occasionally wanders there for a little while ...especially when thinking of a certain person ... ;D
Peace 8) ...

Us freak bot\'s who grasp at every tidbit of Bucket facts we can get know full well Mr.head is not a woman or japanese. ;D
Have you heard Buckethead sing? Thats not a girls voice.
Have you heard him give an interview? Again , not a girls voice.
Have you seen his face? Thats not a girl there.
Did you know he has a girlfriend? I guess he could be a lesbian but...
Seriously , Buckethead is truely a god of music and more notably guitar , I just wish these "journalists" would do a lil homework , research before writing such utterly non sensical things about him.
Whats next , people will say he\'s paul gilbert?
;D
i wouldn\'t worry too much about defending BH from the poor journalism - i think he\'s enjoying it. anyone who got where he is deliberately NOT showing his face, has got to love the stir that creates. mystery is wonderful... something the clothing industry has lost sight of, or at least the JLo brands.
i like hints and suggestions, stir your own mind juices... Buckethead rules regardless of what\'s behind the facade - the facade just makes it more fun.
the ladies took off on a VM tangent but i was really thinking of BH at the time, proving that indeed BH could be a lesbian\'s partner... even if only imaginary.
the best part of sex is all in the mind anyway - we can all be and be with whomever we chose...
I actually have very limited exposure to anything BH related.
I have one album that I obtained by chance and I\'ve never heard him sing, nor did I know he did. I thought he was strictly instrumental. I\'ve also not heard his voice in an interview, much less seen his face.
Then again I thought he pretty much stayed masked in public. ::)
I focused on Viggo M. because I found this site link via/ Viggo Chronicles MB. But I\'m learning about other artists and albums, as I investigate more of Travis\'s site.
It\'s all good, in any case. Like they say;
The God\'s gave us music so that we might pray without words.
that\'s the best thing about life - if you wander along with your eyes and ears open, you learn about all sorts of neat sh\'t.
there\'s a whole lot of wonderful stuff in this site - and from it you might venture into all sorts of side trips you might never have taken before you came here.
in that sense, Viggo\'s fame is a good thing - bringing all sorts of different knowledge to people.
happy tripping. :-*

I agree! Life is in the experience. I am the wisdom of all that I\'ve survived.
What a wonderful ride it is if one but opens their consciousness to all that it has to offer. (http://www.imgmag.com/images/lyoness/MessagexGifs/Goddess_Play.gif)
