Travis Dickerson Recording Studios Forum

I don\'t really understand why you would post the actual link... I mean, you just posted a link to obtaining multiple Buckethead albums for free. That\'s got to be against these forum rules.

You guys got some sweet ones. Mine\'s pretty basic...



But alas, it\'s still nice to have a little holiday greeting from Buckethead and really it\'s the music that counts, right?

The argument that everyone downloads illegally is crap tho, I have never done that and know lots of people who haven\'t.

If that was about my post, I never said everyone downloads illegally. I was saying that it tends to be the younger ones.

QuoteDoes stuff being on youtube really keep anyone from buying it?  I mean, the quality is usually pretty bad.  I can\'t see liking something enough to want it and then settling for a youtube version, but maybe that is just me.

Man, there\'s a decent enough people that will only listen to songs on YouTube, but I don\'t think taking songs off of YouTube will make them buy the album, if anything they\'d just go and download that specific song or the album.

With the technology nowadays it is possible to listen to any music you want with the only money you\'re actually spending is on your internet bill and because of that their are people that will always get their music online and can\'t understand the point in purchasing music. Hell, I bet there\'s enough teenagers out there that don\'t even own a physical CD.

They never should have changed from vinyls, haha.

Just got mine today!

Haha nice, and this is where being Canadian has a downside... Having to wait longer for Buck\'s CDs.

Well, I am Canadian... and in the good ol\' land of Eh.. it is completely legal to download music.

Now that being said, I\'ll admit that I have download Buckethead\'s music a good few years ago, but since then I have deleted all of his songs that were downloaded and have started to replace them by purchasing his CD\'s and burning them too my computer.

I have absolutely nothing against downloading music, but I think it mainly depends on the artist. I know there are a lot of bands out there that have no problems with downloading of their music, after all, it isn\'t always as bad as people make it out to be...

Say some teenager only has twenty bucks on him and he\'s at the store... he sees a CD from this so-called \'Buckethead\'. He is very interested but seeing as he only has twenty dollars on him he decides that it would be a better idea to not purchase the album, and maybe buy one of an artist he is more familiar with, thus never getting to hear the greatness that is Buckethead. Now let\'s imagine that this same kid goes home and decides, "Hey, I\'m gunna check out some music from that Buckethead" so he goes onto YouTube and looks up a few songs or maybe downloads an album or two, and he is suddenly hooked on Buckethead. He then decides that these are the albums that he is going to buy from now on and he goes back to the store and buys the Buckethead album and starts getting more off of this site and what not.

I can easily say that if I had never originally downloaded Buckethead music then I probably never would have got in to him and spent as much money as I have on him (probably more than any other artist.)

As the Canadian judge said when decided whether downloading music should be illegal or not, "downloading a song is no different than going into a library and photocopying a page from a book."

I don\'t think there is any problem with downloading music as long as it is to get a taste of artists, especially for an artist like Buckethead who\'s albums aren\'t exactly easy to obtain, atleast not in Canada... they pretty much need to be ordered online with a few exceptions.

P.S: Can\'t wait for my CDs to get here. Hopefully they\'ll come fairly quickly like BR did and not get held up in Customs like Spinal Clock.

Now it would be really sweet if it wasn\'t just backing tracks from older songs, but some sort of trippy, experimental concept album in which the listener was included and expected to jam along with the album.

It came!!

So unfortunately I have still yet to receive my copy. I\'m in Canada and I ordered it the night it was put up on the site so I\'m not sure what has taken it so long. Best Regards shipped in like 3 or 4 days so it\'s probably stuck in customs... :\'(

Wish me luck that it will come tomorrow!

Just thought I should add in that it will be released "on or around September 15th"

Also in case nobody noticed, if you look on her face it\'s either a crazy beauty mark, or some make-up... but anyways, it\'s the exact same three dots that\'s on the cover of Best Regards! Same three dots are also beside her name at the top of the website.
