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.

This song is so unique, I absolutely love it. The weird sounds, the funky drums, and that bass around 1:12. One-of-a-kind.

i think this album id dedicated to his childhood where some people say his home was a deposit of chickens. hes one of the best guitarrists ever.
Jonathan Y

Buckethead is the only musician who can make music out of a broken guitar, a chewed gum, and toilet paper.

I think its more of a pun on "little house on the prairie" say them both out loud and they sound really similar. also, he titled some of his songs with movie titles: premonition, crouching stump hidden limb, probably a couple more I don't recognize.

Is it me or this sounds like some hens chattering? Buckethead is a genius!

this reminds me of a legend of zelda temple...maybe a mix of links awakening and link to the past.

Is it me or does Buck totally take the piss out of half the songs on Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot?
