Must have felt inspired to give it that Electric Tears treatment; I'm surprised Bucket hasn't tried securing the rights to reissue past albums such as that and Colma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I get why he predominantly uses Bandcamp but I really do wish he had a much better platform for online sales and merchandise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get a manager to handle his projects. The delays are part of the new normal now and that sucks for him and the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Bucket is selling the KFC V http://www.bucketheadpikes.com/v_guitar.html I have no idea what something like this would be worth, but apparently he's asking 250K and taking offers. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Didn't a Bucket fan end up getting another one of his guitars decently cheap (like $1000ish if I remember correctly) because it just so happened that it was one of the only offers on it? I feel like I recall a YouTube video on it. It wasn't NatterNet who got it but he spoke about it. Bucket should really list on Reverb instead of through his site. Maybe he doesn't want to deal with the Reverb fees but he could probably counter that with how much more money/attention it would receive. People pay big money just for the signature models on Reverb. This is somewhat of a holy grail among Bucket fans and collector's alike. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Apparently bucket put out a letter apologizing to fans for delays in merch orders and said he had to move four times in the last year or so. Dude must be broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude must be broke. If he is broke (and I hope he is not) it is entirely because of his terrible business model. Fabulous musician, excellent music, but the business-side lets him down. Get a decent website, promote properly, release limited edition coloured / splat vinyls (“gory headstump orange”!!! - via Sheet Happens or equivalent), tour outside USA, play guest spots, join a band… there’s a lot he could do. Releasing endless Pikes / Live Pikes which even I, as one of his most hardcore fans who has a huge box of $1000’s of dollars worth of his physical releases over the years in my attic, stopped buying even in the $2 sales… just won’t work I don’t think. I wish him well. Hopefully Axl reaches out and offers him a few guest spots to play TWAT live for $. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I really do think his poor website layout and awkward ordering process deters everyone from casual to hardcore fans from buying more. A half decent website and a proper storefront would do wonders. He could easily use sites like Teespring or whatever to sell custom tailored merch and he wouldn't even have to do anything. Likewise, set up Shopify or something similar to handle the vinyls and physical music releases. Lots of tools at his disposal these days, and while those sites also come with fees it would be offset by how much more things he'd be likely to sell. Then he also wouldn't have to worry about packing/shipping orders himself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seb91 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Checked out Bucket's latest release, Dancing Soul and it's half an hour of pure Buckethead goodness. He's by far the best guitarist around IMO and it's a shame he isn't bigger. I've only come across one person outside of here who knew who he was! I got friends of mine into him as a kid when we were all massively into Satriani, Vai, Gilbert etc. Shame we never got more of Axl singing over his stuff.

James Bond Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Seems he's got a couple California shows this Fall so here's hoping he tours next year. He also listed some more guitars a couple days ago. Mostly lower end stuff but all used on the Pikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
