Travis Dickerson Recording Studios Forum

The guy was in the hospital, with pain and stuff. And still hes able to release 11 albums, its more than last year. That shows comitment doesnt matter how u look at it.

I will go with quality over quantity any day...even with Buckethead. I haven\'t heard the new ones so i ain\'t got nothing to say about them...

Everyone keeps harping on the fact that he gives us SO MUCH...well, i\'d rather 1 album every 5 years like Tool if its gonna blow me away EVERY time.

But hey, everyone buys anything he does, so I can\'t say as I would do it differently if I were in his shoes...

Also, we don\'t know he was in the hospital...we just know he had some pain. We Buckethead fans extrapolate an awful lot.

Perhaps he\'ll relese an album of himself farting and you\'ll praise that one too like it\'s a motzart masterpiece or like he\'s doing us a big favor........ Only reason why I\'m here is because buckethead is a master of something not many people can comprehend nor fathom.. He\'s a true genius! However he deserves negative feedback about his recent albums. They are crap, standing next to any of his other work he has done... And I think kind regards is a continuation of this noodling crap we have been buying. I bet you anything it\'s gonna be improv....

I\'d say he is averaging WAY better than 1 "blow me away" album every 5 years..

Lol, ive never considered Buckethead to be a genius or something like that, i think the term is awfully used this days. Every guy seems to be a visionary, and a genius, or extraordinary. I just belive that his songs (not all, maybe half of all of them) are great and have an impact on me. they make me happy, or energetic, or at least gets me through the day.

Ill admit that hes awesome in guitar but there is nothing that i have seen from him that would make me consider him a genious or something like that.

Again, it takes a lot of creativity to take already released songs, and make them completly different songs, and its not like those guys who remix the song and sounds like it, this is completly different monster and i would continue to support FF and NIASS until i die.

Good stuff bucketfel....i respect your thoughts.

I\'m glad you like most of his stuff these days....cheers!

You are way too opinionated. I don\'t like BR very much, but I don\'t think the new albums are crap because of that.

And about quantity vs. quality: I don\'t know why, but NO ONE seems to see the comparison between this year and \'07. What if he only released one album this year? That means he probably wouldn\'t earn enough money to make more albums for a long time. This is his job! He has to make a living.

A little math: $15 per disc * 1,000 discs = $15,000. Just a rough estimate. Is that very much for a year? He wouldn\'t even make that much profit if he sold that amount.

Seriously, do you see a trend? 2007: No touring, but lots of albums and first year of LE\'s. 2010: No touring, but lots of albums and 2 LE\'s.

I\'d take quality over quantity (4 albums a year as opposed to 11+) and am not a huge fan of noodling, but I get it.

So because you don\'t like it anyone that does like it must be some blind Buckethead fanboy?  Since when did you get voted the arbiter of all good music?  People have different tastes.  It is too bad that you don\'t like the recent releases, but that doesn\'t give you the right to be a pompous ass about them and the people that do like them, especially when you are guessing about a release that hasn\'t even happened yet.  You really sound like a spoiled child who got a vanilla ice cream cone when he wanted a chocolate one.  Too bad for you but that doesn\'t justify acting like a brat.

What happened here? Why are we all at each others throats like this? We like different material. That is why we post, because Buckethead crafts different music. Be it experimental rock or beautiful acoustic, we all have a preference. One of the most important things aside from having your own taste is respecting that of others. It may be a bit of a stretch but what would you feel if you knew Buckethead was reading all this? I\'m aware that some don\'t like improvisational material and that\'s absolutely fine, of course it\'s fine. It isn\'t for everyone. I\'ve not been here long but I put money on it that you haven\'t been like this since the forum started. Can we not all just agree to disagree? Whatever happened to respect? I feel some people here are being negative just for the sake of it.

I don\'t want to be the person that brings everything round again and have a happy atmosphere but... well, I do. I do want to be that person. I want to be able to come here and read up on opinions, releases and the like, but I just can\'t continue to come here while you\'re at each other\'s throats. It\'s not how fans of an artist should be. We\'re bucketbots and that\'s how it should be. Respect taste, suggest albums, but don\'t slander material you haven\'t heard.

Can we have a clean slate from this line?

I have no problem with someone saying they did not like this or that release, but to call it crap because of that irritates the heck out of me.  Part of Buckethead\'s appeal to me has always been his willingness to experiment and then let us hear it.  If others don\'t like that then just wait for reviews and they won\'t have to spend any money on it.  Those of us who do want to buy these releases don\'t deserve to be disparaged or have our tastes insulted.  Above all, Buckethead doesn\'t deserve to be ripped by some toddler with an internet account who has probably never created anything his his life.

His last 3 cds are crap. I\'m not a toddler and i have created many things thats why i know when someone like Buckethead who is one of the greatest guitar players to ever walk the planet has to make sound effects on cdrs
and sell them to support himself is pretty lame. For the record this is my opinion and i could care less what you think, if you like random noises on cdrs have at it.

It\'s not like we had 1 or 2 random LE cds ..its been 2 fricken years of this random noise stuff!! so what im saying is BUCKETHEAD is way to talented for this.
