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.
Two Pints
Buckethead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna cold wet glass with bubbles in it
And that doesn't mean I can't handle anything stronger now
Just think I'll wait a while.
I'll have a pint of lager please
And a pack of flakies
Give me a pint of lager please
So hey misses tongue driver give us a squeeze
But put your coat back down 'cause I ain't ready to leave
This doesn't mean I don't wanna take you back
You'll just have to wait for that
I'll have a pint of lager please
A complimentary striptease
Give me a pint of lager please
And a bag of green peas
Take me to the kebab hut!
So fill me up with flakes of manky mutton
High up to the top
And don't be putting veg on that
Don't want no cabbage patch kebab
A dab of ketchup, make it red
And please make sure the sheep is dead
And throw some peppers in the bag
"Would you like chili sauce on that?"
Mmmmm!
And a pint of lager please
With a pack of flakies
Give me a pint of lager please
Some soft scoop ice cream
So hey mister cab driver
Give me some breeze
It's been a long long night and it's repeating on me
And that doesn't mean it's time.... to.....
You know what I mean?
Just open the window Geez
Urrrrrgh!
I'll have a pint of lager please
Don't give a monkey's
Give me a pint of lager please
And some processed cheese
The song "Two Pints" by Buckethead is a comical take on the experience of going out for drinks with friends. The lyrics paint a picture of a group of friends who are out drinking and having a good time. The first verse sees the singer at the bar, ordering a pint of lager, but also insisting that he can handle something stronger, though he'll wait a while. The second verse sees him asking a woman for a dance but declining her offer to come back with him for the night. The third verse takes this group of friends to a kebab shop, with the singer ordering his kebab without vegetables and asking for the sheep to be really dead. The final verse sees him stumbling into a taxi, asking the driver to roll down the window to get some fresh air.
The song's lyrics are humorous and meant to be taken tongue-in-cheek. They speak to a carefree and somewhat reckless attitude towards drinking and partying with friends. It's about enjoying the present moment and not worrying about the consequences of one's actions.
