Bootsy said Buck pushed himself too hard on his funk university album so it would make sense... Then again, there was an update a month or so ago saying B picked up his guitar again. It could be mental, we didn\'t consider that. The updates don\'t specify, that I know of. Since he\'s taking therapy, he could be dealing with something like that.

I doubt it\'s mental.

the thing he posted a month ago:
"Patti Just spoke with Buckethead he is up and playing his guitar,I think Bucket pushed himself to hard on our last attemp.Prayers r working."
 
i think that implies that he wasnt playing guitar when he was sick, which sounds like it could have been carapl tunnel or something. i hope whatever it is buckethead will be able to play again like he did.

i wonder if it is related to that thing he wore on his arm all during the 08-09 tour. just curious, does anyone knw why buckethead would want to cut down the circulation in his left arm when hes playing?

^That was an armband tribute to Michael Jackson.

[BelieveIntheBucket]

o really^ ..interesting

^That was an armband tribute to Michael Jackson.

I thought it was in tribute to Aunt Suzie, he started wearing the armband prior to MJ\'s death, maybe it\'s just a fashion statement.

[Boxenstien]

It was to hold up his sleeve, its pretty annoying when your trying to play and it decides to roll down, he used a piece of ducktape back in the 90s and I guess the ipod armband was just something better he could use.

[ella_mental]

Idk.  Duct tape is pretty cool.

[DavidRck]

to what i remember reading on bootsys twitter it was something "skeletorial"

[Jack]

DAVID.

Another twit from Bootsy mentioning Buckethead on a different subject:

 @The_IFCB  Buckethead will be thrilled about your wedding, our other friend, Bill Laswell will be a Professor at Funk U soon.     7:26 AM Jul 17th  via web  in reply to The_IFCB

FYI apparently the referenced twitter-er\'s msg was about wearing a BH t-shirt under his wedding clothes on his wedding day! Congrats on the nuptials BH & Bootsy\'s mutual friend.
