Muratorix PV

Hey Travis,

Long time fan and lurker, first time joiner. Thanks for having me.

I talked to a friend of mine from Japan and he told me about this guy Muratorix PV. He\'s big BH fan and pays tribute The Bucketed One in many ways. I don\'t know if this has been posted before but I think that most Buckethead fans will get a kick out of it. Nevertheless...speak japanese or die!

I hope all is well with you and Buckethead et al,

Is "Speak Japanese or Die" the name of the song?  That was a cool song and a really great vid.  Thanks for sharing and welcome to the board!

[stumpdangler]

Yes, "Speak Japanese or Die" is the title.  And in my haste I forgot to erase the PV which i think stands for promo video. So much for smooth copy/paste editing.

It\'s interesting to see a Buckethead influence with a neat spin on it. And the VH-styled bucket could be something that Buckethead would even binge on, if he hasn\'t already.

yeah Buckethead and Muratorix should meet get together and make music.

Y-E-A-H!

If I understand correctly Buckethead and Muratorix did meet in Japan at a Buckethead or Praxis show. He is a BH fan and pays tribute to BH but I don\'t know about any collaboration talk. I don\'t think there is any. I have a long list that I think would be interesting too, like Trey Spruance of Mr Bungle, as an example.

Muratorix is well known around Japan, has an endorsement with Ibanez. He is well known for his guitar playing, weight lifting, back flips and being quite the showman.

I watched a few of his live videos.  Rather mind boggling.

I like his guitar.

Yes. Muratorix live is  definitely where the influence shows the most. The promo video is just a hint. Matching Buckethead note for note is a daunting task but he makes up for it in enthusiasm and craziness. I think it is definitely flattering tribute to Buckethead imo. But my preference is definitely  Buckethead\'s emphasis on music  while performing and less on the other elements. Just my opinion though.

And I don\'t mean to minimize anyone\'s opinions on a potential collaboration at all.

So is his act a tribute to Buckethead?

[stumpdangler]

I would hesitate to call his entire act a tribute. But he pays tribute to Buckethead in several flattering ways. I don\'t know if it is clear to everyone though. I also pick up influences or "paying tribute" to van halen, kiss, paul gilbert and several others musician/entertainers. ymmv. I only know what I\'ve been told by a friend and what I\'ve seen on youtube.

[eggman90]

He appears to be a spirited and talented artist, I wish him well!
