Does Brain still talk/work with Buckethead?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if Buckethead and Brain still stay in touch. I never understood personally two years ago when Buckethead was first said to be out of the band, how Brain could still stay if they had been close friends. I do not know how many for sure, but I know that on the CDs of Buckethead I bought (I am ashamed now!) Brain was on them. You would think that whatever disagreements Buckethead had with Axl would apply to Brain, especially any negative Buckethead talk coming from Axl. My take is that Brain just wanted to be in a huge real band by staying with Axl. Perhaps?????

Oh, is Brain supposed to be the only drummer on Chinese Democracy, I mean as far as we know at this point?

Let me take this time to ask, "Why the FUCK would you be ashamed to own Buckethead CDs?" Buckethead's solo works are some of the most amazing guitar albums I've ever heard. He's an amazing artist and should be respected as such.

I throw my respect to a man who has fetishes about chickens, is terrified of girls and talks through a sock puppet named Herbie. Yeagh right....ok...maybe I picked the wrong day to QUIT SNIFFING GLUE.

like its been razzed over a million times. Yes we understand he's a great guitarist, yes we understand that he's got some brilliant solos... Even had some tear jerking moments on his albums that demonstrate the emotional side.......but I respect Buckethead like I do Micheal Jackson. FREAKSHOW.

Sure.... I'll go see him IN HIS OWN FUCKING SHOW where tossing rubber chickens to the crowd and nunchaku solos are something geeks think are cool. Where the fans have long time forgotten the rock-n-roll spirit. Yeagh...I did pick a bad day to stop sniffing glue.

and may i take this time to say what a ridiculous time and place to make such insults towards a fantastic musician and performer as Buckethead. Go sober up.

So basically you acknowledge his genius but can't get past the weird exterior because you're so fucking shallow. Sucks for you.

Y'know back in the day it's people like you who thought Jimi was just some weirdo who made "funny noises" with his guitar.

For those of us who are open minded, however, the crazy quirkiness and originality that surrounds Buckethead is half the fun.

Yeah I agree that's he's not the best fit image wise for GN'R, but his musicianship more than makes up for his over the top gimmick. I enjoy his over the top gimmick as well of course, but can see where it would make some GN'R fans weary.

Dude the fucker is boring. I knew him when he was at MIT working with Paul Gilbert. My guitarist was in his classes. The fucker is a geek. He talks like a geek walks like a geek and says stupid shit like a geek. He's the kind if guy that you want to smack just to keep him from saying anything. Here we were surrounded by some of the most beautiful women onthe planet and all he could do was say shit like.... "She likes wine bottles up her ass..." kind of like Bevis and Butthead would. He's the kind of kid that locks himself in his bedroom and maturbates to Superman comics. Like thats ORIGINAL. Nerds all over the world are choking thier chickens just like him... but hey...MR. Deep if thats your spank .... I'll gig with that... We all have our crazy fucked up ways of being.

Yeah, Buckethead's so weird. Thank God for someone normal and sane like Axl. :rofl-lol:

By the way, you want your rock stars to not be oddballs? Who the fuck do you like, James Blunt?

Oddballs yes- freaks.. thats for the circus and the carnivals. Who the fuck is James Blunt?

Besides...like I said BH has some great music out there....& Even his little queer act has its cuteness appeal to the world of geeks. But talking through sock and being scared of girls.... hardly something to admire. Its too fake and contrived to hang with a band like GNR. Simple. It's a distraction and a chicken assed excuse to hide behind on stage for not getting into entertaining the crowd. That totally and utterly spit on GNR's reputation and history.

THis whole discussion shows just how far down and how bored people are with thier entertainment. Especially thier rock and roll entertainment.....Buckethead as the iconic replacement and wingman to AXL!?! Axl must have been sniffing industrial stregnth glue when he coerced him into the studio with that stupid doll.... Yes doll! Buckethead wanted his dolly and Axl bought it for him to get him to come to his studio.

Like thats ORIGINAL.

That's not what I was referring to when I said original, I was talking about his music and persona. That's original.

If he's a geek. SO FUCKING WHAT? He's infinitely more talented than you, me, "the guy you know who used to know him" and pretty much every other guitarist alive bar a very select few.

It's his music and his stage presence that entertains me, I couldn't give a fuck what he's like or what he's into in his spare time, it's not like I have to live with the fucking guy.

BTW, if you're telling the truth, your guitarist was probably just jealous that Buckethead's guitar playing pwned his face :P

Oh, is Brain supposed to be the only drummer on Chinese Democracy, I mean as far as we know at this point?

It's too bad this thread is (as often seems to be the case) not on topic, seeing as the topic question is an interesting one. I think it's been difficult for Brain to remain friends with both Bucket and Axl, he's 'in the soup' as it were. I'm curious to know how much Brain has been doing with Buckethead myself.

And I may post this elsewhere as well (there seems to be a number of Brain/Frank threads), but when Merck says that both drummers are 'in GNR', that's only logical whether Brain plays with them again or not. Brain is the drummer on the record (I know they erased all of Josh's drum parts, although I'm not sure this is the case with his writing input), and Frank is the live drummer. That's a common scenario.

After 10 years, nobody is insane enough to speculate who's going to be on the next album. :rolleyes:

No his kind has been around for a long long time. Theres kiddy porners, and vampire goths and clowns...Theres always been clowns...politicians....same freakshow.....the whole disco thing that was in the same class act of original acts....

Yes his guitar music is great. Amazing. not hardon amazing but pretty interesting....

You would be suprised :) JC knows a few cords on the fretboard. The jealousy thing? Thats the weak position in any argument.

No need to get your panties in a flame..its just one mans opinion albiet rather harsh and strongly argued. You do have your points... entertainment is entertainment and he is much more talented than me you and 99% of the other desperate souls bored out thier gourd and that is what he banks on rock1

lol the jealousy thing was just in jest, hence the ":P"

C'mon though , who isn't jealous of Bucket's guitar playing? Hendrix, Shawn Lane, SRV and Satch? Nobody who isn't a demigod anyway :P

I hear you but to me Bucket is a fucking living legend and the embodiment of everything I believe in (violin moment :P)... Some ordinary, slightly nerdy guy who ended up with a guitar playing, hidden identity super hero like persona and joined a world famous rock band. Oh and just happens to be an immense genius.

I'd trade everything for that.

I was just fuckin' with ya'll to raise the goat because its all been argued now for 4 years. He is so much better off on his own than being in GNR. He is an amazing guitarist. I was watching some of his shows on Youtube.com. I think he has Marfans Syndrome which explains his long fingers -"Arachnodactyly." Look at his paws man no wonder he can yank those sounds out like no one else. It also explains some of why he needs to wear a mask if it true.

Why are you ashamed to have bought Buckethead CDs? This man is amazing on guitar, who the fuck cares about his past relations with GNR? And Brain/Buckethead go back super far, so they're probably still working together a lot.
