buckethead is the best soloist in my opinion, his solos are amazing, and his lightning fast playing and emotion make the best music

A freak and this person is sometimes unusual about his appearance and behaviour. He's such a neat-freak when it comes to makeup.

One of the most skilled, quirky and original guitarists of all time. Some of his many compositions are ridiculous (The Ballad of Buckethead and Pure Imagination for example), and others are just pure genius (The magnificent Soothsayer, Nottingham Lace, and of course Jordan [new and improved for Guitar Hero II]). And he does it all with a KFC bucket on his head...
Maybe even potential G3 material...

In my opinion the most skilled guitarist out there, but I'm not sure he knows what to do with that talent.

The most original shredder out there today. He's got the chops and plays with more passion than anyone since SRV or Jimi.

Spelled wrong, it's Buckethead, but anyway, he's amazing. Songs such as Nottingham Lace (look it up on youtube) and Jordan show how amazing he is.

Buckethead is the greatest guitarist ever. He can play anything, and do it really good. I have hours and hours of his live material and all of his albums. I've never heard a guitarist that can do what he can do. His technique is impeccable. He can play "things" that are very different than any other person. He also has lots of feel in his more serious songs. I have listened to all the greats from the past Hendrix, Page, Clapton Etc Etc and Buckethead makes them look bad.

From a guitar magazine voting him one of the weirdest guitar players in history. I decided to check this dude out. I went out and bought the album 'Electric Tears' boy does it makes me want to cry. It was so sweet! Even though he's not really my cup of tea musically,EVH will always be my all time fav. but Buckethead still is one kick-ass SOB when it comes to playing his shit. I figured it was worth the bucks.

Picked up the Colma CD. Nothing like I had expected after seeing him in concert last week. Very relaxing new age type stuff. Yes, he kick's major but in concert.

He needs more credit, hes an EXPERIMENTAL guitar player. And has made more crazy arrangements and weirdness with the guitar then almost any other experimental guitar player.

He's a flashback to the big hair days and a pretty decent guitarist, but you have to assume that somebody going through such great effort to disguise himself with such a white trash gag is probably already a well known guitarist that doesn't want people to know he's playing with such f...ups now.

This guy makes me want to quit the guitar. He is so far ahead of anyone else, or maybe it's more appropriate to say that he's so far sideways of everyone else, that I am blown away every time I hear his weird, avant-garde noodling. The only thing keeping him back, in my opinion, is that he is not much of a collaborator - he doesn't seem to fit in well within a band scenario - he just never stops soloing. He also wears a white Kabuki mask and a KFC bucket on his head (it's not just a name you know). Legend has it he was raised by chickens in a chicken coop, but I guarantee he wasn't. Nobody really knows his real identity, but my guess is he's the alter-ego of Steve Vai. Just a guess.
