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.

Buckethead is a reminder that it's not always for the $ but for the love of music and concept.
JD Trent
I have a friend who will probably never be heard of because he has substance abuse issues,but I've been around all kinds of music,grew up around it...and he's the kinda dude who just had IT...from birth. But he doesn't want fame or recognition...just a simple person who chooses to stay in the shadows and hide his skills from everyone...and I'll never understand it.
Pamela Bailey
So true! Just heard this song tonight on my Pandora shuffle. What an amazing song. 🙏🏻 We could all use a little healing tonight. 👏🏻👌🏻
Bob Johnson
@Fake Person lol maybe..
It would be pretty cool if he wore one that was dipped in gold or something lol
(Occasionally)

Imagine being one of the world's greatest guitar players, yet you can go anywhere and literally no one recognizes you. From what Ive learned about B, I'm 100% sure he absolutely loves it.
Fake Person
I guess that explains the KFC bucket.
Probably waiting on the money for a copper or brass bucket.
Guy with a creative name
This is one of the few songs that can bring me to tears. The fact that Buckethead can do this without any lyrics is amazing. It's just further proof that Buckethead is the best guitarist alive.

Provide better arguments. Teats are too subjective. I remember even I got tears from a friend when I played a classic guitar piece (of course an instrumental one) for a small group including him, and I'm no genius.

100% he is, and I’d imagine most great guitarists would agree....
