ToonGuns Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 18 hours ago, James Bond said: I'm all for more Buckethead live releases, but this seems a bit of an odd Pike release considering the overlap with the excellent 2019 live album and the truncated versions of Siege and Soothsayer. This one sounds like it's actually live, as opposed to "live", but I agree. and if putting out a true live album why make it so short? It is a bit weird.

It is a bit weird. It's content to fill out some pike numbers. Bucket posted a new preview clip yesterday, but it was just the entirety of the song Coupon; there's been some speculation on why he's releasing old songs as previews, but here's my ideas of what it could mean: The previews posted to Bandcamp are for songs Bucket is planning to perform for his next tour Album remixes, like how Bucket re-released Sphere Facade & Spiral Trackway CD/Vinyl reissues? Times like these where I wish Bucket used social media to really reach out to the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Two months since I placed my order and no sign of it. I know this isn't entirely unusual in Bucketheadland, but the support also hasn't returned my email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took months to reply to me before, and almost years for some of the stuff to get posted. Hate to say it but it was this unprofessionalism that put me off a bit. Love Bucket... but how hard can it be to reply to an email or run a professional merch set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I had a dream that Bucket finally gave pikes 43 & 78 titles & artwork; what a crazy dream Bucket's been really "off the grid" all summer, I've been concerned if everything's been alright in Bucketheadland. A three month gap in pikes in non-tour season (the live albums don't count) feels really unusual; the only thing popping up from time to time is some drawings and paintings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Yeah the Pikes haven't returned either of my emails, one of which was direct through PayPal. I know the super slow shipping isn't isn't an unusual occurrence, but the lack of any sort of response seems very weird. Hopefully all is well with the Bucket.

The credits in the booklet for Chinese seem reliable, but the quick rundown is: Chinese Democracy (guitar, 2nd solo through the outro) Shackler's Revenge (writing & arrangement, guitar) Better (guitar, 2nd solo) Street of Dreams (guitar, 2nd solo) If The World (guitars, all solos, acoustic guitar) There Was a Time (guitar, 2nd solo) Catcher in the Rye (absent) Scraped (writing & arrangement, guitar, 2nd solo) Riad N' The Bedouins (guitar, 2nd solo) Sorry (writing & arrangement, guitar, all solos) I.R.S. (guitar, 2nd solo) Madagascar (guitar, all solos) This I Love (absent) Prostitute (guitar, all solos) The leaks can't have certainty, but Bucket appears to have done the 2nd solo in songs like Hardschool and Quicksong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unsure given I'm relatively new to the genius of Bucket, however would love to know what Pike's he has that are similar to Shacklers revenge or with crazy guitar solos?

James Bond Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Finally heard from the Pikes, albeit indirectly. They've provided a tracking number, but all it shows is that the shipping label was created back in June and the package hasn't even been dropped off at USPS yet. At the very least, some activity from within the Buckethead camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much longer than the order I placed last year but alas. Some new Bucket vinyl to spin and an autograph. I am satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Pike but one of my favourite Bucket albums is Elephant Man's Alarm Clock 1 hour ago, James Bond said: As an update - my order finally arrived!

He should re-release the vinyls. People on ebay and Discogs are selling some for $1000. There has to be sufficient demand for second pressings of some. Make it an alternative variant, coloured vinyl or something. But there is definitely demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I previously bought the Ghost Host vinyl but a couple of the others I'm most interested in have long sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
