Title: I have a question about giving Buckethead stuff at
Post by: ella_mental on April 20, 2009, 07:13:39 PM
shows.  I know some people have given him stuff, so I\'m looking for some advice.  I\'m not really into fighting crowds.  My days of moshing and crowd surfing are pretty much over.  I don\'t really want to be up front for toytime.

So my question is, can I just make my way to the front once (at any time during the show) and like toss something onto the stage?  Will that work?  Or should I just forget about it since I\'m not into the crowd thing?

 :P

Some people will leave thier gift on the stage after the show and Psticks or someone will snatch it up. What show are you going to? If there\'s an opening act, you might be able put it on stage before Bucket comes on, people are pretty mellow at intermission. Sometimes it\'s hard to put something up after the show if the security is pushing everyone out to clear the club. Good luck!

I\'m going to the Philadelphia show.  I\'ve only been to one other show and I really wasn\'t paying attention to how people gave him stuff.

Wait in line for hours to get in the front row and hand it to him during toy givaway. he could very well exchange with you. I have seen this at all the show\'s I\'ve been to.
Good Luck ;D and it\'s so worth it to be in the front row.

It\'s just so hard to make your way through the crowd.

Hmmm...  Thanks for the food for thought.  I\'m sure being up front is the bomb diggity if you\'re into it.

If anyone is visiting Philly for the day...

Try to flag down a roadie before the opening act and ask them to give it to BH for you. This worked for a buddy of mine the first time we saw him live. If you can\'t find a roadie try security.

I\'ve decided to just forget about it.  Thanks for everyone\'s help.  I\'ll just bring some good vibes with me.

to me its the best part of the show, when he takes your gift bugs out on it kinda nods in apprecation and sets it on his amp but i totally get not wanting to fight the crowd pushy people aggrivate me to no end
