All the Way The progressive rippling effect of oscillations through the ages of rhythmic emanations bubbling up through the aeons of time and resulting in this sweet little pinnacle of perfectness
The Rockford Files And from the infinitesimal came forth a god manifest of the infinitely large and also one of the greatest soundtracks to ever suit a series by Mr. Mike Post It's paramount, really it is
I saw him with Praxis in NYC last year. Amazing show, Sony Thearter on 46th Street, a small, intimate venue with very expensive drinks. But my biggest takeaway was how tall he was. He's like 6'6" regularly and well over seven feet tall with the bucket. Everyone on the stage looked like a Hobbit next to him. Highlight of the show was a cover of Hendrix's Machine Gun, which isn't a song you cover lightly. But Buckethead did his thing, tapping and nubbing all of Jimi's aggressive parts, the dive bomb solos and shit. Very cool.
Some like to call him an alien which seems like an appropriate metaphor; at times I wonder if he's channeling something, or if nothing else just an exceptional guitarist with his unique flawless repertoire and robotic moves. An interviewer once inquired to Slash about him in that his playing lacked feeling, to which Slash replied "Yeah, something like that." Yes Slash, exactly, it is "something like that". I think that's a great answer, "something" is goin' on here, but we don't know exactly what it is. What does Buckethead play? Buckethead plays whatever he wants.
Fantasy : This Moment is Eternity Consciousness can never cease in its own existence because consciousness is 'time within'; collapsing the dimension of time causes the virtual instantaneous re-emergence effect
Remembrance Spin the winds to win the rain, the things that are remembered that will never be the same
Magical Realism : The Sea of Forgetfulness When faced with recurring time ad infinitum, experience must continuously be renewed to avoid becoming subject to a stale eternity - deja vu
I saw his last appearance on Letterman; apparently he filled in for Paul on a few occasions. There is some story about how he got exposed to some cancerous substance while playing in an attic as a kid which finally caught up to him several decades later - he was only 56. I never really dug very deep into his music but I always liked this one a lot, and the quality of this live version seems okay so we'll go with that : Edit : on second thought, I like the studio version better. Seems like the word-wrap should be wrapping the video and not all that empty space to the right.
I like this version because you can actually see the chords pretty well. I suck, but want to learn this one. And c'mon! The guy is named Gurf.
Guitar was my main hobby for a couple decades, I still have my Ibanez electric, Fender acoustic, Fender amp, and a big ol' Raven amp that I bought online for a hundred and fifty bucks because it seemed like a really good deal. My electric guitar is right within reach here for easy incentive, but I only have time for so many hobbies and music is a time consuming one. Right now it's writing and driving in my free time and combined with all the other shit one has to do in a day, it's about all I have time for. The Godfather theme was the last thing I did on guitar. I saw Slash play it and thought it would be fun.
Joan Baez : Silent Running And so it is, the solitary seed of the primordial, always, and forever, cast to the winds of eternity, and the sounds of silence... in nigrum holoserica mare silentium

Yamaha acoustic and Fender P-Bass. Had a cheap Stratocaster knockoff, but sold it. Currently relearning bass parts for Tull's Living in the Past. I find 5/4 relaxing.
