why? i think when you include creativity he is the best guitarist on the planet that i have ever heard. but for a fellow metal-head to say they hate him more than anything kinda hurts me deep down
His music is just... uninspired. I admit that he is really talented, but he puts out so many albums that his talent is just used for tons of mediocre stuff. @Booch: Sounds good. Also, I probably asked already, but do you know Skyclad?: D
To be honest I'd expect a lot of material from someone whose Wikipedia article lists his genre as: avant-garde, noise rock, funk, bluegrass, instrumental rock, progressive metal, heavy metal, progressive rock, experimental rock, funk metal, ambient, dark ambient, alternative metal, electronica, folk rock. ...and instruments as guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, drums, synthesizers, percussion.
yea i see were you are coming from i have about 45 albums of his not all are must haves but i would say about 25 or so i listen to regularly
Well, nothing I heard from him was any good imo. Anyway, I prefer musicians like Arjen Lucassen. Lots of talent, many instruments and an amazing songwriting ability. But fewer albums.
I don't really think number of albums has anything to do with it. Most bands tour extensively between each album because they need the money, whereas other people just love to write music. If you've got a lot of ideas and a lot of experience in different genres and instruments, then you've got a lot to write. Seems like a bizarre aspect to judge someone on to me.
my guess is that you have only heard his funky/metal albums but you might be more into his mellow albums like 'colma' 'a real diamond in the rough' and 'electric tears'. not trying to convert you but one thing i found with buckethead is their is usually at least one album that everyone would enjoy.
No idea what I listened to, just had a similar argument on another forum. Enjoyable isn't really good enough for me lately. Music that's new for me has to be either something completely new or brilliant (or both like Ayreon). @Booch: Good to hear! : D
: DDD I'm pretty tired of KFC, I sometimes have to drop by there after school if I can't make it till home. And I can't believe we're talking about that here. So, found anything for me?>.>
hahahah im just f*cking hungry and will eat anything. Nah havn't looked though. Trying to finish some tasks appointed by the mrs. boss lady. LOL I will find something though bro =D
Haven't heard much but what I did was pretty gimmicky but don't have much of a problem with it just don't see it being over buckethead but I have been a buckethead fan for over 15 years.
O thanks. Then what he said was total bullshit imo. : D BTW you haven't been really active here lately.
