to all knowledgable Buckethead fans:
first i wanna say hi...im new around here. i like the drums heavy metal and a good beer. anyway im wondering...
what is buckethead\'s heaviest album? what albums would you classify metal? also is colma jazzy or is it the same as the rest of his stuff? i have a fair few of his songs and i want to get some of his albums. I dig funnel Weaver and colma so can u make some suggestions?
cheers,
ultimate slab
Welcome to TDRS, I\'m pretty new here too.
Anyway, supposedly if you like Colma you\'ll like Electric Tears from what I\'ve heard. Of those two I\'ve only heard Electric Tears so I can\'t judge.
Monsters and Robots is supposed to be pretty heavy and I have Giant Robot and I think it\'s really good and heavy enough.
Sorry I couldn\'t help much though...
no worries. i heard CCFH is his most heavy stuff. so is colma jazzy? i really wanna hear some jazz from him. also..crime slunk scene and peppers ghost...what genre would you categorize them as? heavy or soft? catchy?
Like I said, I\'m pretty new to him. The only albums I\'ve heard are: Giant Robot, Electric Tears, Population Override and I just bought Pepper\'s Ghost online. Many people call Electric Tears "Colma 2" so assuming it\'s like Colma, Colma will be slow, calming and melodic.
Yeah, if you just want his heavy stuff, Giant Robot and Monsters and Robots would be your best bet.
Try out both sides of Buckethead, slow and melodic, and heavy and fast. You may find that you like both ways he plays and start buying everything by him, like I\'m doing as I earn money.
Get CCFH that is by far the heaviest. Colma is amazing acoustic. Electric Tears isn\'t a "colma 2" totally different and the same at the same time. Colma has drum beats and what not. Electric tears is straight forward guitar. Acoustic that is.
Cuckoo Clock of Hell, Inbred Mountian, Kaleidoscalp and Isle of Lost Minds are all pretty heavy, but I guess it depends on what you mean by heavy. You might also consider The Elephant Man\'s Alarm Clock, Crime Slunk Scene, or Pepper\'s Ghost. Population Override is probably about as jazzy as any. Personally, it might be my favorite album.
Get The Elephant Man\'s Alarm Clock, it may not be as heavy as TCCOH but in my opinion its by far better. Plus it has some heavy songs on it like Final Wars and Baseball Furies.
You should also consider Inbred Mountain.
thanks for the advice. Is Crime Slunk Scene and Peppers Ghost his most straightforward and rocky work? im about to download them from here but im not sure yet.
Jazzy - Population Override, some Thanatopsis.
Heavy - CCFH(his heaviest stuff), Bucketheadland2 has some great stuff inbetween vocal bits, Inbred Mountain (Especially the last Track). Island Of lost Minds has some heavy riffs too, but you should only check that out if you have a taste for the psychotic :D.
Colma and Electric Tears are the mellower side of bucket.
-
Colma has drumbeats, Electric Tears Doesn\'t. ALOT of effects on ET, more natural sounds on colma(cello and viola on two tracks)
I\'ll tell you this, don\'t buy BucketheaLand 2. It\'s complete crap IMO.

Both of those albums are amazing. Peppers Ghost has a more Rockin\' feel, while Crime Slunk Scene Is a mix of rocking and Buckethead antics.
Jazz Fusion BH albums include Arcana - Arc of the Testimony (amazing!) and Octave of the holy innocents with Hellborg (also excellent). Chicken Noodles with BH and Travis is kind of ambient Jazzy too.

HUH? I love Bucketheadland 2!
;D

I do too, but it is not for everyone. It is meant as a tour of Bucketheadland and has some amazing songs on it, but is not music from start to finish so I think that is why some people hate it. Oh well, to each his own. I think it is worth it for Frozen Brains alone, but that\'s just me.

HUH? I love Bucketheadland 2!
;D
;D me too!!!
Fun fun fun...and magnificent creativity...abusement park of delimbed delights and fun frights...fueled by Bucketheads imagination!
L-O-V-E it all! BH2 not for everyone (?) possibly. my opinion...those who decided after once through that it wasn\'t something they cared for...ought to approach the gate once more...use thier imagination....open their psyche for FUN...and the great rides...there is magic captured in Bucketheadland 2...beyond Frozen Brains ...lots of goodies...and special guests...and if you can get past ALBERT...YAY! ;) hehe... I LOVE to sing along too! :D
P>S> UlimateSlab... :D
If you like Funnel Weaver and Colma...I am thinking you will love everything in between...i know i do... ;D
When i started wandering the park i just started to pick and choose the rides...seriously...each one is a thrill...a chill...or takes my breath away! Have fun...wander...there is no map...i love being lost in Bucketheadland! ;D
Weeeeeeeeeeeee! ;D
BIG HUGZ! ;D
bucketheadland 2 has some pretty heavy stuff on it. it is a must, in my opinion
dawn of the deli creeps has some pretty heavy tracks!!! it may be oop? i\'m not too sure how to get that one anymore. anyone know?
slunkatron is right on with the heavy stuff list
have fun!
Amazon has two copies of Dawn of the Deli Creeps available right now. One for $15.99 used and one for $16.00 new. I wasn\'t a big fan of it at first, but that album really grew on me the more I listened to it. Now I think it is quite special.
Dawn of the Deli Creeps is great!...It\'s listed here at TDRS... it is still available I believe!! :)

those who decided after once through that it wasn\'t something they cared for...ought to approach the gate once more...use thier imagination....open their psyche for FUN...and the great rides...there is magic captured in Bucketheadland 2...beyond Frozen Brains
Listened to it the first time: Found it amusing and slightly funny. Listened to it the second time: Found it very irritating. Listened to it the third time: It occurred to me that the album was more crap than it was to begin with. I love me some BH(Hell, that\'s why I\'m on this site) but this album just, isn\'t him.
Now, the actual music part of the album, ALL sounds like the same heavy riff over and over. Another reason to not like the album, no creativity.
I honestly don\'t see how people can stand listening to it. But, everyone has their own opinions...

I think you need a real awakening about creativity...Bucketheadland 2 is totally absolutely creative...you said "it isn\'t him" ? :o ...you gotz allot of learnin to do.
i won\'t try to change your mind...you obviously do not understand...and
you are entitled to your opinion...
if you have more to say to ME...good grief use the PM...I think you\'ve already made your point quite clear...
If your pokin for an argument or debate about it...i\'ve said all i am gonna say here.
lets....Let people get back to topic...Heavy Stuff....like Nuff said...Slunkatron has them pegged..and there is heavy stuff on
Bucketheadland 2 and Deli Creeps as well! :)

PM thing? What\'s that? And you don\'t have to get hasty I was just stating my opinion so calm down.

I didnt\' mean to sound so hasty...i said you were entitled to your opinion...but my opinion is that you may not understand...Bucketheadland 2...that is all. I get a bit psycho. ::) sorry.
the PM thing is where you can communicte like an email here...see up at the top right of the screen...where it says messages...no hard feelings?
Big HUGZ! :)

thats the ironic part... IT IS EXACTLY HIM
Well, yes, Buckethead is very weird, but I mean it\'s just that, I don\'t know...
I was expecting an album with nothing but music. I don\'t mind the talking that much(I love Giant Robot) but when it\'s so excessive, and so annoying that there\'s no way around it, I don\'t want to listen to it.
Sorry for having different opinions then you guys. >_>

It\'s fine, I accept your apology.
It felt kind of weird calling a Buckethead album "complete crap" in front of people who absolutely love it.
It\'s good to have different opinions...you don\'t have to love it. But stating the way you did hit a nerve with me...one who does...and i am thinking truly that you don\'t understand.
D said it...Bucketheadland 2 IS exactly Buckethead!
All the things captured there...all the rides and special guests... sure Music IS Buckethead\'s life but it goes WAY beyond it...and that is what makes Bucketheadland...Bucketheadland 2 mighty precious to me... I am very happy that you like Giant Robot :) It is FUN and i love it too!
Big HUgz
figure out the pm yet?
figure out the pm yet?
Check your messages >_>
Oh, and I did find that one track where the guy was singing that song or whatever(I can\'t remember what it was called) and he said something like "I wanna see, pieces of brains flyin\' through the air!" amusing. Kind of creepy though...
whew!
gonna put it on right now! it\'s lime time ;D
;D lime time! time to put some lime in...lime time...just don\'t smell so bad...
I love Albert! ;D
GirtheRobot...yup i found your message hmmm...
like i said it\'s fine to have different opinions and disagree too...
You explained it well in the message...but here you said it was \'crap\'....and like i just told you in that last PM...not one thing Buckethead does is "that".
maybe later since it\'s all new to you ....you will love Bucketheadland 2...too!
hugz!
All this Bucketheadland 2 talk and I think I am also going to put it on! 8)

;D "Play in the garden... that\'s where i dig..."
i\'ve been singing along :D
"gonna dig up bodies, gonna dig up bodies..."
I get not liking Bucketheadland 2. For me, I bought it along with a bunch of other albums at a show a long time ago, so I guess I wasn\'t bothered by the fact that a lot of it isn\'t really music (then again, as Buckethead said, "a lot of what is music to me isn\'t music to other people" or something along those lines). I had a bunch of amazing new Buckethead to listen to, and I enjoyed Bucketheadland 2 as the trip through the most amazing abusement park in the world that I think it was intended as. I can see being a bit disappointed, though if you bought it expecting front to back shredding. I would advise to any new bots that they should research what they are buying first. Buckethead puts out such a wide variety of material that it is very important to figure out what you are purchasing beforehand (as much as is possible). Some people might love one thing and not love another. Personally, I buy it all and it all satisifes me in one way or another, but I don\'t buy DCK expecting Pepper\'s Ghost. Anyway, there are plenty of bots around to act as tour guides. Just ask.
thanks guys. so far im getting...crimeslunkscene peppersghost funnelweaver and i think you get the idea. i got TCCFH. fuckin awesome. buckethead is amazing.

If you havn\'t got EMAC, it is a must i can\'t stress this enough,There is also stuff on Enter the Chicken that you must here, if you like Serj Tankian. That you can get online along with Monsters and Robots. I am a huge Les Claypool and Serj fan and could not believe it.
