Spinal Clock FAQ

[Travis]

OK, here we go again.

Q. Can I get number 13 or the lowest possible number?
A. No, it\'s first come first serve as it always has been for LE\'s.

Q. Can Buckethead sign this for me?
A. Some day when I\'m old and done I\'ll publish some of the best comments on the order forms over the years, some real gems there.

Q. Are the LE\'s and the regular editions the same except for the numbers and signature.
A. Yes. This is not truly a limited edition. The first 500 of the pressing will be numbered and signed.

Q. What is a CD jacket.
A. It a simple sleeve. The CD is a pressed CD, not a CDr.


Please if you have more questions, post them here. I\'ll get to them as soon as I can and it will save me from having to give the same answers over and over by email.

Thanks Travis

so, sleeve as in like, those promo sleeves that companys give to radio djs and such?

[DisembodiedLoaf]

Much appreciated, Travis.

I\'ve explained to people multiple times what a CD jacket is, and it\'s nice to have this thread.

Also, it\'s nice to know that the LE\'s are the same cases as the regulars, just signed.

I have a question: The album artwork shows an instrument that is a cross between a banjo, guitar, and mandolin. So will all 3 instruments be featured? Just Banjo? If so, is it just Guitar Banjo or standard banjo? Thanks.

If I\'m incorrect, sorry for being a jerk.

Travis, so can you confirm that buckethead does have spine related injuries??

[chickentrain]

When I think of "CD jacket," I think of a simple, paper sleeve. Sometimes they have a cellophane-like window on them. Sometimes they don\'t.

Travis, so can you confirm that buckethead does have spine related injuries??

I can\'t speak for Travis or Bucket, but most signs point to yes. When Buckethead refers to the villain "Slip Disc" -- he is referencing a slipped or herniated disc in the spine.  So, on his website he says "Slip Disc snuck into the park and caused some mayhem." We can only assume that he messed up his back somehow.  He talks of "animatronic parts" being \'replaced,\' so perhaps he had surgery for the problem, I don\'t know. Physical therapy for certain. Add onto the fact that his newest album is called "Spinal Clock", I think it is safe to assume that yes, Buckethead probably had a herniated disc.  How bad it was we\'ll probably never know, but I hear it can either be excruciatingly painful or simply a huge nuisance.

Well, we have modern medicine to thank for Buckethead\'s speedy recovery, although I bet being  part-robot helped quite a bit too. ;-)

again with the "slipped disc" thing

do you guys seriously not understand who slipdisk is or something? jeez

Hey Travis,

When you say hand signed and numbered this time, does it mean a drawing and number like Best Regards, or is it an actual signature this time?

Btw ordered, freakin excited.

If you need a publisher for that - contact me.  Could be a nice little book.

[In Search Of The]

Can I just ask, if we\'ve placed a pre-order, has the money been paid already? Just curious how it works, do you charge us now or wait until the CD is released?

[Alex R]

I\'ve already been charged for mine.
