WayTooManyOstriches Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Last year there was a sale on all of the Pikes available at the time, which I bought. I'll still need to see what has been released since then so I know what else to buy. I'm a little overwhelmed though, in a good way, with all of the material. Three questions. Which Pikes are: The most relaxing? The spookiest besides the "Days Till Halloween" Pikes? The kind you'd want to drive your car real fast to? I'll be listening to everything at some point, but I would like to create some playlists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For "most relaxing", my favorites are Infinity of the Spheres, Pearson's Square & Cycle Spookiest I'd give to Twilight Constrictor, Marble Monsters & Grand Gallery For driving fast, Worms for the Garden, Claymation Courtyard & Aquarium 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayTooManyOstriches Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Thank you both! I'm obsessively listening to Buckethead now. My only gripe is I bought Enter The Chicken (loving Nottingham Lace!) from Amazon and only after downloading it of course do I find out there's a bonus track called "Shen Chi" that you can only get by buying the CD from Serj Tankarian's store. Even though I bought the digital I'd buy the CD for that bonus track...except it's sold out! I love you Bucket, but please make it easier for us to buy all of your stuff. Thanks again for the recommendations. My wallet will hate this, but I'll be back for more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been back on a huge Buckethead binge (and grab) lately and in the past year I've gotten more serious about collecting vinyl. I'd love to purchase a few of Bucket's releases but the Pikes website makes it fairly difficult to easily tell what is still in stock or not.

I'm missing a few vinyls as well so I'm hoping he does a second pressing. If a few of us email they might see the demand. Over the years I've spent more money on Bucket than any other artist. Got hundreds of CD's, signed editions, rarities, DVD's and more. I'm a completist. I kind of wish I'd never discover Bucket as a consequence!

I ordered the Ghost Host vinyl for now. It ends up being approximately $50 Canadian after shipping/US conversion so as much as I wanted to click through as many as I could I thought I'd start there. I might send them an e-mail though to see if there is any possible way of getting a more user friendly list of what is in stock or not.

Gackt Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Starting a new recording project in October called "Music In Pictures". Using the artwork of the 78 tarot cards to make 78 tracks of music based on Pamela Colman Smith's artwork. This will be completed in May of 2021 in celebration of her life and her amazing artistry.http://www.bucketheadpikes.com/pamela.html "Statue for Bootsy" All the money for this recording is going towards building a statue of Bootsy that will be put in Downtown Cincinatti, Ohio. He truly is a hero with the kindest heart. https://music.bucketheadpikes.com/track/statue-for-bootsy Edited September 27, 2020 by Gackt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we'll see an EVH tribute soon from Bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The definitive version in my opinion, thanks to the newly refined solo. Definitely makes me want to get a few more Bucket vinyls! If only the exchange rate wasn't eating me. And yes I'd all but guarantee an Eddie tribute song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a fan of Population Override, you should give the Thanatopsis & Dragons of Eden albums a try; they're all projects that Buckethead worked on with Travis Dickerson, and have a similar style to each other. For Pikes that have the chill of PO, I always go to albums like Infinity of the Spheres & Cycle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
