I can understand that not everybody likes this, but I'm a very big fan of horror films and those soundscapes are not unfamiliar for me. The Blue Squared album is by far my favourite Halloween Pike. It could be used as a score to a slasher film like Friday the 13th or something... I listened to one and I like it. It's almost Halloween so i was more open to it. It would be cool to play out of speakers if you have trick or treaters then have some creature jump out and scare them type set-up. I also think you can play the scary ones and work on something like writing , painting , tinkering on a motorcycle, whatever you like to do or dinner music. Buckethead should be highly sought for a horror flick soundtrack but some of his scary stuff is too sophisticated . It would work with a really good scary movie .

Pishy Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 @Gackt kitty says thank you. I like it too. does Buckethead have someone play on parts of songs or how does it work? Is he recording multiple things and mixing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pikes musically are a two-man team, Buckethead doing all the guitars while his long-time associate Dan Monti (also known as Brewer on the current tour) is in charge of the drum and bass parts to the songs, with the exception of songs that feature Buckethead on bass. One of Buckethead's relatives P-Sticks does most of the artwork for the pikes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get those 2 tonight then , thanks for the rec. Coniunctio is really good , i played it for my cat and he liked it too. Also helped me sleep. Relaxing is not the right word , really don't know which words would do. It almost seems like Buckethead had another portal of his mind opened to his consciousness , how he recorded that, I don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many great songs to discover from the Pikes. The song Puzzle Box from the View Master Pike or the song Circle from the Half Circle Bridge Pike for example.

Gackt Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 A few more of my favorite pikes, in various genres.. #25: Pancake Heater; awesomely heavy with some amazing riffs#28: Feathers; contains one of my favorite Buckethead songs, Faded#31: Pearson's Square; an acoustic album which is among his best#39: Twisterlend; The Closed Triptych is one of Buckethead's great iconic epics, and the rest of the album is also a great listen#42: Backwards Chimney; clean guitars, great vibes with energetic songs#47: Roller Coaster Track Repair; shreds your face off with lightning fast solos#53: City of Ferris Wheels; bluesy, funky#80: Cutout Animatronic; Buckethead's bass-work is the highlight of this album All of Buckethead's acoustic pikes are worth listening to honestly, albums like Wishes, Rise of the Blue Lotus & Rainy Days are so good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Some good and bad news to people who preordered "Bucketheadland 513 1031"; the album was delayed until Spring, however if you email the pikes service (probably from the email you purchased the album from and including your transaction ID), they'll be able to issue you a download of the album to tide you over until the vinyl ships out.

Pishy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 @Gackt are there cds too? Yes, I still always buy cds but I purchased 20 pikes via download because i didn't see cds plus it was such a great sale and I wanted to hear as much as possible . vinyl would be awesome . Where do you get Bucketnews such as shows and new releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm a huge fan of the Buckethead Pikes but I'm curious why someone would pay 31 bucks for this http://www.bucketheadpikes.com/slunk_cards.html That's something I would have done in primary school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know , Buckethead just comes across as such a nice person, like the way he hands out toys at his shows but does so in such a kind and gentle manner, something about those drawings, reflect that. So in that way, I find them intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gesture of it, he seems to enjoy not only sharing toys but making people happy with them. Its cool, right? Colors and shapes, pretty intense feel to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, there is some serenity in the background. I was looking up GnR performvaces with Buckethead, rio and then a nightrain one in the states somewhere . I like the MTV one where he does some martial arts , very stealthy at the end . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pishy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Maybe not serenity , maybe a 'peace' with something you don't want to make peace with . More of a condolence or some sort of empathy . But those are my random thoughts, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Since the album is sorta out there for consumption now, here's the post for it.. Bucketheadland 5 13 10 31 (email pikes service for a download code if you preordered the vinyl) I like it, for 31 minutes it's an interesting collision of styles and songs. No remarkable solos or moments in particular that stand out, but for a non-standard pike, it's about a 6-7/10. It didn't meet my expectations of what I thought the next "Bucketheadland" album would be, but it's worth a listen to any fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Beast Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Too much stuff in too little time,how annoying is to release 300 albums and expecting someone remember 2-3 hits from each album.I gave up lately.
