I hate it when people dress dogs up.

OK, I can\'t believe that this thread I started went this far. I think I have been cautious enough when I said "if I\'m allowed to think and write about it". But I was thinking of Buckethead allowing me to do so, or not, and I was not thinking of others fans not allowing me to suggest this.

I usually don\'t like when titles are being made by fans after a release if it doesn\'t have titles. But I\'m not angry at people doing so.
This time, we got an "advance cd", and I have the same feeling when I listen to it as when I discovered the Cobra Strike albums, as well as the Bucketheadland ones.
Maybe should I have simply said this, instead of trying to build a title for the disc. Not because I think it was unrespectful towards Buckethead, but because I would have prefered to avoid another war here.

We will soon reach a point where I\'ll simply never post here again (my posts are rare already), in fear of getting patronizing comments from other board members.

Sorry to Travis and Buckethead for having brought a new fight here, and sorry to Buckethead if he didn\'t want us to let him know what his new music brought to our minds. If that\'s the case, Travis, please delete this whole thread, and the message will be clear enough, I\'m sure noone will ever try to name a Buckethead album in the future.

You know.  It truly is sad that this thread degenerated into bickering.  I thought it was just meant to have a little fun.  What does it matter really if anyone makes up a goofy title or a "serious" one.

I think Buckethead would rather have people enjoying his music and having a little fun.  It\'s rediculous to take this stuff so personally and seriously.  Jeez people.  Lighten the eff up.

+1

That\'s the whole reason we\'re all in Bucketheadland, to have a disembodied time

Quoted for truth. I admit I used to get irked in the past with the whole song naming thing, but in the end who cares? It\'s just for fun.

A Slunk in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Well, Boxenstein has cleared this whole thing up for me.  My copy of album has the same title.

I think that pre-releasing the album without song names or art provided us bots with some extra fun.  I am more interested in the art and imagery that comes with the labeled version of the album than the names and words.  After all the shapes and forms and colors that the music has inspired for me, I\'m mighty curious as to what the new album looks like, and what sort of attitude or frame of reference it presents.

I\'ve written a few books.  Let me tell you, give a blank manuscript without a description of content for the back cover and art on the front cover and you\'ll not get anyone to read it.  The cover, a few words indicating idea and direction, and the scope presented by finished book are what get people oriented and interested.  Our perception is quickly and dramatically narrowed by these clues and we\'re straightjacketed to be spoon-fed storylines we now expect, complete with our ideas of them instead of the author\'s ideas.

If someone started re-naming my books and chapter titles, I would probably think they had missed various boats.  However, we all have different psychological archaisms and personal stories that shape our individual perception.  We each watch a different movie of the exactly same world.  Editors mess with by verbiage, but it doesn\'t affect my internal picture.  We won\'t change the Bucket\'s viewpoint.  I suppose there\'s no harm in lighthearted goofing around in the meantime.

The untitled album lets my [somewhat pschyco-technicolor-acidtripthey oftenask] mentality play with the sounds and what they generate for me.  After this digestion and internalization of the music and after watching the pictures that run through my head and feeling the feelings that come up, it\'s going to be really fun to see what the Bucket put on the album for words and pictures.

I\'m having fun not knowing the titles and not having the usual leads to my interpretation of the world around me.  There seems to be much more to life than the titles those around me put on things.  The Bucket fills my vision with shapes and sounds and ideas.  I always listen to his albums from start to finish.  I can give you the first notes of the next song or phrasing, every time, but I usually don\'t know the names of the individual songs.  The whole album comes across as a unit.

We got a lot of music from the Bucket in 2010.  I wouldn\'t have wanted to miss a beat of it.  The new album, for me, was another wonderful gesture from the Bucket to include me, I mean us bots, in the process of his music.  His groundbreaking, mind blowing music.  It\'s great to be a Buckethead fan.

I simply don\'t see the harm in people coming up with potential names, silly or otherwise.  No one has to use them.

"It\'s great to be a Buckethead fan."

Abso-motherfucking-lutely! Well said.

Please try and have a little fun while we\'re at it.
Anyone who wants to take any of this stuff seriously needs to find the exit. That said, take the music seriously, but for pete\'sbloodyhand\'s sake (see what I did there?!) have a light heart and a robust sense of humor about all the rest of it.

People who want to go and get their knickers in a twist about any of it just baffle and bewilder me. It\'s supposed to be about having a whole bunch of fun. Don\'t lose sight of that. Oh.. and getting toasty... nice and toasty...

(Cypress Hill on The Simspsons? LOL!)
