Hiya Travis!
I asked this in the original Pepper\'s Ghost announcement thread, and I didn\'t get an answer to it. Sorry about starting a whole new thread about it, but is there any possibility that we, the Buckethead fans, could possibly know some (or the whole thing, hehe) of the tracklisting for the upcoming masterpiece?
I\'m sure that you have information about it, or at least have the ability to snoop it up if not, so how about it Trav? Could you reveal some juicy names for some of the songs for us? :)
I don\'t know about some people, but I always get more excited about an album just by knowing the tracklisting, you know? So I\'m sure that revealing the tracklisting (or at least parts of it) will equal more pre-orders for it. Just a thought.
Actually, I don\'t. I haven\'t heard it and haven\'t seen the track listings. All very mysterious at this point. As soon as I can I will post more info.

Well I guess you didn\'t master this one. Very interesting.

Hmmm.. well I suppose things are supposed to be this way then. After all, doesn\'t the name Pepper\'s Ghost have to do with illusions and whatnot? Maybe it\'s supposed to be a mystery then. :D
Yea what the heck does it mean? What the heck do any of his titles mean? ;) He does make up some good ones though for his albums and songs.

That\'s what Pepper\'s Ghost means quite literally. I didn\'t know it personally but found out through that page right there. Basically it\'s a trick used in plays and magic tricks to make images appear and disappear.
According to Wikipedia, it was invented back in 1862 by a guy called Henry Dircks, and eventually improved by a guy named John Pepper. So the name came from the second guy, and it\'s apparently a name that\'s been around since when describing that technique.
So, with this in knowing, the album could either be "about" magic and illusion, or it could just be about ghosts. Or both. Then again, it could be about something completely different, we\'re talking about Buckethead here after all. :D
Thanks for the info. I can\'t wait for this album now. ;D

Thanks alot for that duder, its a good read.
Of course some track listing would be a fun teaser, but the mysteriousness is really charming. Waiting won\'t be so hard for me, because damn, i just learned the news of the pre-order like what, a week or two ago, you know? It\'s not like Anatamize, were we were told well in advance to be ready for it, and the suspense nearly killed me.
I wonder if this will be Buckethead\'s and That 1 Guy\'s release. That 1 Guy told me that Bucket would be interested in doing an album with him...This might be it?
Just Preordered it!
I think Buckethead and That 1 Guy should release their album under the moniker "Those 2 Guys."
So Travis, it\'s been a while now and I\'m dying to know if you\'ve found out anything about the tracklistings for Pepper\'s Ghost yet?
I\'d be thrilled if you\'d have some info for us. ;)
