Buckethead, the masked "chicken pickin" guitarist. He is on of the best guitarists today. Not for his speed, but for the variety of styles he can play. With a seemingly endless amount of styles he can play, this makes him one of the worlds best shredders. He has a huge knowledge of sytles including some the made such as 4 fingered tapping, and 3 fingured tapping. He playes anything from classical, metal, blues, country, shred your f---ing head off to killswitch haven!! Worthy enough to have played for Guns N' Roses for some time, and a amazing ability to kick a-- at a bass, buckethead is worthy of any band!

He's a kick a-- guitarist but man is he whacked. He wrote and article for a guitar magazine once and it was almost indecipherable.

he's good, but ya he's got some issues

I like this quote from an Ozzy interview. As usual with Ozzy, I had to edit out some stuff

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=31127

"Ozzy Osbourne: "I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me but only if he got rid of the bucket. So I came back a bit later and he's wearing this green Martian's-hat thing. I said, 'Look, just be yourself!' He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother.' So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!' I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up?' [Laughs] Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a !" "

It's cool thinking of buckethead playing with ozzy. But he was too weird for ozzy. Have you seen the video on youtube of buckethead playing crazy train. It was pretty good, but I can play it cleaner than that.

There was a hysterical article recently in Guitar World about
Buckethead's involvement with GnR and the Chinese Democracy
record...as part of the deal to get him back in the studio, he made
them build him a chicken coop in the studio where he could have
his props...fake severed limbs, excrement, and stuff. The
environment proved to be fruitful as BHead was reportedly playing
his a-- off, but Axl finally fired him when he saw him watching
porn while tracking.

You could make this stuff up, but I don't think so in this case...

ironic that mr bailey would take issue with that, considering his past.

i guess the more you think about it, Buckethead's pretty normal when it comes to that useless guy
