Brian Patrick Carroll (born May 13, 1969), known professionally as Buckethe… Read Full Bio ↴Brian Patrick Carroll (born May 13, 1969), known professionally as Buckethead, is an American guitarist and multi-instrumentalist who has worked within many genres of music. He has released 435 studio albums, four special releases, and one EP. He has also performed on more than 50 other albums by other artists. His music spans many diverse areas such as progressive metal, funk, blues, bluegrass, ambient, and avant-garde music.

Buckethead is famous for wearing a KFC bucket on his head, emblazoned with an orange bumper sticker reading FUNERAL in capital black block letters, and an expressionless plain white mask, which, according to Buckethead, was inspired by his seeing Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. At one point, he changed to a plain white bucket that no longer bore the KFC logo, but subsequently reverted to his trademark KFC bucket. He also incorporates nunchaku and robot dancing into his stage performances.

As an instrumentalist, Buckethead has received critical acclaim for his electric guitar playing, and is considered one of today's most innovative guitarists. He has been voted number 8 on a list in GuitarOne magazine of the "Top 10 Fastest Guitar Shredders of All Time" as well as being included in Guitar World's lists of the "25 all-time weirdest guitarists" and the "50 fastest guitarists of all time". He performs primarily as a solo artist, though he has collaborated extensively with a wide variety of high-profile artists such as Bill Laswell, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Iggy Pop, Les Claypool, Serj Tankian, Bill Moseley, Mike Patton, Viggo Mortensen, That 1 Guy, Bassnectar, and was a member of Guns N' Roses from 2000 to 2004. Buckethead has also written and performed music for major motion pictures, including: Saw II, Ghosts of Mars, Beverly Hills Ninja, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Last Action Hero, and contributed lead guitar to the track "Firebird" featured on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie soundtrack.

i love how all this guys stuff is free of vocals. it lets you focus completely on the guitar work. all the little things you'd never notice if there was a guy yelling along with it

i wish i could hang out with him and write songs. just for an hour. knowing how creative he is we would wind up with a whole album

savagepug

15y

Did they write this music beforehand, or was most of it an improvised jam? It has a spontaneous feel to it but in a good way. My favorite track of the album.

fenderstrat707

Tom Harman

exactly i feel it gives a false image towards guitarists and that it makes it look like its easier to play guitar than it really is, but its what got me into real guitar and made me like rock so i love it for that

When he finished, the band applauded raucously. He was "sweet and normal", but they wanted someone "...who could also kick a groove." Says the bassist for red hot chili peppers

@1234gnrslash You right about the guitarist i mentioned, they all play fast''.. And your totally right about ''more to life than shredding..''But shredding was definitely not what impressed me when i first heard buckethead...A friend of mine (drummer) told me that i have to listen to buckethead,'' He were partying and he put the CD 'colma' on for me..And It blew me away,'' simple acoustic guitar riffs (nylon string) that were made so pretty..There is one fast thing he does called Big sur moon

Bobby Orwig

how have you managed to avoid hearing of Buckethead for the last few years now? Haven't you ever heard someone talking about Jordan?

cheaper by the thousand

15y

man he makes that guitar talk.

Northernmight

13y

@TheSpawnofSkynyrd Derp.. Buckethead is most likely the best musician any of us will live to see. He might not be legend now. But once the crisis in the music industry one day ends, people will find his music. People always argue about who is better and whaddada, but if you just got a slight bit of musicality in your body and brain, you can easily hear that Buckethead is the fucking king. I mean, some of his work is just universal, trancends mere music and becomes pure art.

Bucket Head knows what he wants... I like the guy even though i get weirded out sometimes. But i truly respect him. :)

Gam3Junkie7

14y

@maggotaac That is the true reason he doesn't take off his mask and bucket, when the current BucketHead dies another with epic skillz can take them up and continue the legend.

Nah, not the fastest ever but the fastest with the most soul and emotion in his music.

Christopher Mcintyre

14y

concidering bucket's standars i think he would like it more if they were cheap=D but i agree with hewbertlarztoast aswell, bucket spread out over mindless media is just wrong, but in that way more people could be witness to his greatness and godlike skills.

reaper147000

14y

@Windius Shit dude, that would be the most epic shit ever. The only reason they havent is that they haven't found anyone with the skill to play bucketheads music on a guitar hero controller besides buckethead.

Kelan Young

15y

anyone know where tabs for this are?

James Morton

14y

HAHAH :) i dressed up as buckethead for my school funrun =D one of the best days ever.. 'specially since i had to get the KFC bucket from somewhere.... ;D

Devin Massengale

Agreed, Batio's blazing speed is awesome, but his riffs lack the power of Buckethead's

Can anyone find a live performance of this song?

@Redkillahh Needless to say, they were totally in awe of his skillz and were scared shitless ! :)

Danny Hood

@1234gnrslash That's cool dude! Yeah he's (kotzen) been playing blue's more from what i see lately and singing..Which i wasn't too happy with,cause he was more ''metal fusion'' before..And he did it well,''But he does make a great front man and chic's dig him..He recorded one song for this album ''guitar world magazine put out back in 91 called ''guitar that rule the world''? I heard he recorded the guitars in his bedroom standing in front of a mirror nude at 3.00 AM with his women all over.

btw ozzy osbourne wanted BH to play for them on tour but BH refused to take off his mask and bucket, that woz the only conditions and we wudnt do it, thats why he is my favourite guitarist, coz he passes off huge oppurtunities rather than change what he is :)

I think the same, Vai is a great technician but his music sounds kinda sterile to me. It's funny because Satriani was his teacher and Satriani's music is simmilar to Bucket in terms of telling a story through an interesting melody arrangments.

Tom Harman

14y

@dimebag2021 It was in an interview with ozzy osbourne, ozzy said that they tried out a guy called buckethead. He was amazing and they said they wanted him if he took off the bucket and mask. He refused so they chose Zak Wylde instead.

Danny Hood

13y

@TheSpawnofSkynyrd Dude,'' I respect the guitarist you mention ,Joe satch, steve vai, eric johnson, and Jeff beck especially..And those guys play with a ton of feel and emotion..But none of them seem to hit the core of the human sole like buckethead does with is peaceful atmosphere song writing,' Not to mention how he puts metal bands to shame ''bedlams bluff'' Ive heard all guitarist back in early to mid 80s, Steve vai, yngwie, and Joe satch 1987 paul gillbert all those guys by the late 80s.

Despite the fact that he gained a lot of popularity due to guitar hero.

Bobby Orwig

15y

Makes sense. Jordan has been a VERY popular guitar hero 2 song. Before I started playing that game, heck before I even liked it, I heard people talking about Jordan all the time. But I guess that might depend on where you live. I'm in a small town with only about 2k people, so everybody knows each other. That, and almost everybody around here does nothing but play games 24/7. I'm more of an athlete, (just look at my tricking playlist lol, tricking FTW!) but I couldn't help but here about Jordan.

Shaggy T. Bone

14y

if ozzy wanted buckethead to play for him, why would he make him take his mask off? i think ozzys lost it, give zakk wylde the boot, then tell buckethead to take the bucket off his head? sharon!

Ben Thomas

@Joc4prez even once buckethead dies he'll still be playing his guitar, i wanna do like him and be buried with my favorite guitar :D

You're right, I was replying to some guy who was saying guitar hero was gay or something. It might be fake and poserish, but it is what ultimately got me so interested in guitar. I feels its done a lot for music.

Buckethead is immortal. He was Jango Fett's father and also single handedly defeated the British at the request of William Wallace. It is said he was forged from magma pressurized miles below the ocean surface and that he bleeds diamonds and gold. If he were to remove his mask, anyone and anything within 50 miles would be vaporized and simultaneously erased from history.
