mcmurray Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 72 is nice, kinda meandering though.I really wish he'd focus on polishing his songs instead of just jamming jamming for the most part. I miss his more structured work, songs and albums with a definite beginning, middle, and end. For example, Peppers Ghost, Shadows Between the Sky, Electric Tears etc.Don't get me wrong, I'm probably the biggest B fan around, but moving forward I probably won't be buying everything he releases.

My fav track from the Pikes has to be Faded, and that doesn't even have a big solo break.That being said, standard edition's out for #66, "Leave the Light On"http://music.bucketheadpikes.com/album/leave-the-light-on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hope he releases a full set of physical CD's when the Pikes are done)Had a listen to the first track, not really grabbing me to be honest. Have heard it all before.

Gordon Comstock Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Leave the Light On is fantastic! I got SE #25 Infinity Hill sounds like it'll be awesome, I ordered the SDE. The last few Pikes I've bought were 65/66 and The Miskatonic Scale, I need a change of pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 LOVE Leave the light on. It's a true Bucket classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Leave The Lights On...fuck me. I urge any Bucket fan to get on that shit. While listening to it I kept thinking to myself: "Damn, I get why Axl tried so hard to convince Bucket to return to Guns. There Was A Time could have been just the beginning".

Gackt Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The man's the definition of No Days Off, releasing 33 albums (16 1/2 hours of music) since the start of the year. I've got a feeling he's aiming for 50 by the end of the year, then..who knows.Would love another tour soon, haven't seen him since 2012 when he toured as the Frankenstein Brothers with That 1 Guy.

He'll only have to release 9 next year to complete the Pikes series at 100 I wish he'd tour again too. I've only seen him once, also in 2012. It was great, he handed me a Star Wars puzzle.

Crash Diet Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Does Bucket record everytime he touches his instruments?He is the most prolific guitarist of the last 50 years probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Bucket's bass work really shines on Infinity Hill, the whole album is really groovy.Seems like all of his Pikes this summer have been at least 8/10's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant if Axl actually released an album every couple of years, played live a lot of the new material he and Bucket came up with, and was as active as most musicians, maybe Bucket would have stayed, and together, there was a chance for them to create even better music.No need to get so combative.

Gackt Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Bucket and Axl's potential future together is a much more important "what if?" for music than if the original line-up reunited.The duo had a ton of potential together that got thrown away with all bridges burned because of stupid shit. I'm positive Axl at some point has been listening to some of these Pikes and wondering what could have been. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm positive Axl at some point has been listening to some of these Pikes and wondering what could have been.No doubt. Even at this late stage, or especially at this late stage, I wish Axl would just dissolve Guns and go out under his own name just like Robert Plant has done and just do whatever he feels like. Plants music with The Strange Sensation and Alison Krauss has been stunning and musically he just goes where the wind takes him. And that didn't stop the Zep reunion show and it wont stop it in the future if Plant ever feels like it. Axl could put out a record with Bucket and toured small venues and then every few years, put back together some version of Guns with whoever was available at the time and play a residency in London or Vegas. Best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
