Buckethead/Brain plays on Chinese Democracy:

The wacky solos on this one are all Buckethead kickin\' ass.
I played fretless rhythm guitar, all the low sliding stuff panned left and right throughout the song. - Bumblefoot


Brain\'s drumming sounds alive. I love it. The guitar playing is pretty crazy too.

Thanks for the post. I look forward to getting this.

yep thats Buckethead alright... and can you imagine it doesnt even sound like GnR.

As much as I want Bucket to gain some fans and maybe even a wider respect from this release, for me it\'s more like a bad dream that I\'m glad is over.  I don\'t have to refer to Bucket as "Guns n\' Roses guitarist" any more to other people.  I\'m so much happier that he\'s back doing his own thing these days, and I hope he is too, it kinda seems that way to me.
