I just got it (and In Search Of The at the same time!) and have listened to it twice.  It is freakin\' incredible.  Very much in line with the last couple of concert only cds.

I cant believe the collection of music I have recieved over the past month. I have been a fan for one month and I have just about everything he has done" Bought and paid for by the way". I cannot get enough.

I just arrived home and sitting on the floor was a package from TDRS Music. My copy of Pepper\'s Ghost has arrived  :)

Get this, the cover is a pieces of card (as you have probably seen already here on the web). Well in mine I had two pieces of card (they looked both the same).

Now I\'m waiting for In Search Of to arrive, but in the mean time I\'m off to check out Pepper\'s Ghost  ;D

The insert, I simply had two, the second being a repeat of the first.

I like the album, I need to hear it some more. Sadly it lacks any one killer track, although as an over-all-ness, Pepper\'s Ghost is good.

There is no credit given for the drumming, does that mean the drumming was created using computer?

Man, Pepper\'s Ghost is just awesome if you ask me! I got it along with Crime Slunk Scene today, and Pepper\'s Ghost just blows CSS out of the water I think. Then again, I\'m not really sure, both are excellent albums but I just think Pepper\'s Ghost feels as the overall better album, more structured I think. Both albums contain some killer tracks though, that\'s for sure!  8)

Major thanks to Buckethead for recording this GREAT music, and to Travis Dickerson + crew for being able to send out my (and everyone elses) order amidst all this ISOT craze!  ;D

I was so happy when my copy of Pepper\'s Ghost arrived! It came along with my copy of "In Search Of The"!!! I haven\'t finished listening to all of "In Search Of The", but I have listened to Pepper\'s Ghost, and it\'s great! All of the tracks are amazing, but I\'d have to say my favorite track would either be "Pepper\'s Ghost" or "Imprint (Dedicated to Takashi Miike)".
I\'ve seen Imprint (the movie), it\'s also awesome! See it if you haven\'t already!
Anyways, I\'d love to see someone figure out the tabs for those songs and post them. (on this site, on Binge and Grab. com, etc.)

I like the \'Peppers Ghost\' drawing on the rear cover.

Here\'s another one:

It makes me want to build my own Peppers Ghost machine  ;D

..still waiting for In Search Off to arrive. Maybe tomorrow will be the day. In the mean time I\'m still loving Peppers Ghost. The first 4 tracks off the album I like alot.


oh, just found a better one:

\'Pepper\'s Ghost\' plainly spelled out the fact that BH is only getting better. He has really mastered the art of keeping each song interesting by becoming one of the greatest composers for guitar I have ever heard. The Carpal Tunnel reference made me cringe because I work in the medical field & I hope and pray BH doesn\'t have that problem. Great,Great CD BH, Thanx. PS, Who is the beautiful blonde?

Peppers Ghost has a great mellow vibe to it. It seems as Bucket gets older he likes to be more refined and more of a composer than just shredding like a crazy bastard. Then again  he has always had some really beautiful songs that were mellow as hell. But Inbred Mountain, The Elephant Man\'s Alarm Clock, Crime Slunk Scene, And Peppers Ghost all have this mellow feel and the production of these albums are astonishing. I love all of his Albums but these ones just have a great feel and even better production.

Sup bots, longtime fan here, first time posting on this site. I usually post on the bucketboard, but quite honestly, that site is sometimes frustrating with the edit/delay factor. I\'ve been to this site quite often actually, for info and ordering, I just ever went into the forum section.

Anyways, just wanted to throw around my .02 on Pepper\'s.

Great record, again, by Big B. I agree with Andrea, track #6, "Brewer in the Air" is my fav track on the disc. I dunno, that opening riff just gets me going. Sounds like Friedman era Megadeth, then it totally goes in to kind of a Satch like thing, then back around again.

It is truly a great time to be a Buckethead fan, dude takes care of his people. I too sort of lump Inbred, Kaleid, Elephant Man, Crime Sceen and Pepper\'s into one sort of "era". Due to style, timeframe, production, feel.

The fact that these (excluding Pepper) were tour only cds at first make them special, too, cuz that\'s where I first got my hands on \'em! Man, from fall of 05 until fall of 06, I saw Buck six times and picked up four new cds. Unreal. (And I haven\'t even mentioned
ISOT. that\'s a whole nuter level of insanity.)

As I\'ve said before, I love where Bucket\'s head is at right now. Thx for puttin\' up with my long, and first post. peace

MRB

Hey, don\'t forget the album that kicked off the whole era, Island of Lost Minds!  

But yeah, you\'re totally right.  Is this the best Buckethead era of all?  I say yes!

Pepper\'s Ghost...one heck of a maniac shredfest and beauty bitz blasts...yes this is a great and mighty ride! Epic! cross between CSS, Inbred Mountain, and spiced with EMAC!
Each phase of Pepper\'s Ghost fits together one after the other... twisting and turning sideways and upside down, and there are beautiful melodies that push you forward to the next turn.
Buckethead\'s hands are on fire...Magua WILL scalp you
Yep weeeeeeee all the way .... and at #13 Embalming Plazza is lotz of fun fun yep fun creepy with Death Cube K...you feeeeel the tunnel...and can hear the emblaming fluid....ohh there are allot of goodies in this one...Buckethead picked it to be #13...listen carefully and you will see...
13/13 Pepper\'s Ghost is beyond 100%
big hugz :-*
