Thanks for the heads up on the new Buckethead album - Captain Eo's Voyage! (iTunes) I downloaded it Sunday night and it's awesome... mellow/spacy, and a bit ambient. I've always liked the little bits I've heard of his music, though at times I've thought he was not as "accessible" to the average listener. I do play guitar, so I appreciate him quite a bit more I think.
I went ahead and picked up the only copy of Monsters and Robots at FYE and it's bada$$. Les Claypool is a freak, so who better to play with Buckethead?
Any recommendations for my next one?
JOE, is there any chance of getting BUCKETHEAD on G3??
btw - JS is still my favorite, just nice to listen to someone way out in left field :)

js1200js1000 - that's cool, and your opinion :)
I must say, a bucket on your head is a lot less offensive IMO than some of the current popular bands/groups in metal, pop, R&B, rap, etc....

Thanks for taking the time to post your input on Buckethead! I sincerely appreciate it. I did actually think about trying to come up with a Buckethead costume for Halloween this year as well! (I have too much hair, and a goatee to be a very good Joe Satriani!) Your costume is cool, and your little one is too cute. Very cool of you to reward the one who recognized you I might add. At this point I'm enjoying discovering all the jems BH has done. I admit as well, that not everything I've heard I'm in love with... but I have enjoyed the majority of it. I'm glad you reminded me he was out there and gave me a reason to check out his work again
Death Cube K - yeah, I've always liked your nickname and knew where it came from. Personally, I suppose BH not being as "commercial" appeals to me. :)
js1200js1000 - you might be surprised if you listen to at least more than 20 seconds of Buckethead. *EDIT: whoops, sorry my bad - scubadaz was the one that mentioned he hadn't listened to more than 20 seconds of BH - sorry!)
(Then again, if you're not - you're just that much more sure you don't care for it! haha) You might want to start with some of the more mellow/soulful selections before taking on some of the manic speed driven melt-your-face choices. :) And of course, not everybody is into the same thing here... well, except JOE of course! (Who BTW still remains my all time favorite, and has just seemed to be great all around - including as a person)
Have a great day everyone

From Guitar World's Dec issue - 30 Greatest Shred Albums of All Time:
Buckethead
Monsters and Robots
WHO: The Enigma
SHREDDER CREDENTIALS: He wears an upside-down KFC bucket as a hat and calls himself Buckethead, but these might be two of Brian Carroll's least unusual qualities. Insane four-finger fret-hand taps, wild chromatics, octave displacement, atonal, wide-interval runs and string-skippnig patterns, and phenomenal if not unfathomable speed figure prominently in his work. Buckethead's guitar lines are often so blindingly fast and angular that they resemble nothing so much as video game effects. More over, he's a man so eccentric and enigmatic that even Axl Rose couldn't handle him.
SONG: "Jordan"

...though Joe doesn't consider himself a "shredder"...
From Guitar World's Dec issue - 30 Greatest Shred Albums of All Time:
Joe Satriani
Surfing with the Alien
WHO: The teacher
SHREDDER CREDENTIALS: Satriani almost singlehandedly brought instrumental rock guitar to the masses in the mid Eighties with this, his second solo release. He infused incredible technique with a heavy dose of melodicism, with tight, compact songs that boast singing, vocal-like guitar leads, and are then further adorned with whammy-bar squawks and screams, pick taps, fretboard-spanning arpeggios and all types of outrageous moves. A guitarist's guitarist, he taught everyone from Steve Vai to Kirk Hammett to Primus' Larry Lalonde.
SONG: "Satch Boogie"

corbaa - if you get a chance, go back and look at some of wolf2's other posts... I don't think his post was directed towards you :) Sometimes they sort of make sense... it's then, that you realize you've been drinking too much again...
by notes, do you mean guitar music/tablature?

civgeek - yah, that was an awesome live version of Night of the Slunk!
BUCKETHEAD for G3 I say!!!!
I'm sure since Joe taught Larry Lalonde of Primus, and given BH's extensive work with Les Claypool and Bryan "Brain" Mantia of Primus, it might be just that much easier to hook up to jam. (Buckethead has listed Joe as an influence, at least according to Wiki)

Basspedals
Glad you are checking out Buckethead too! I have been listening to a lot of his music lately, and surely have tried not to beat BSAWW into the ground the last couple of weeks. I too have intentionally tried not to watch all the videos from the tour thus far, so as to not spoil the concert experience in December. Might be flawed logic, but oh well.... :)
Joe, great to see some blue!

POLL!
I have been curious for a while what everyone's favorite track is from the Vox (Satriani) Big Bad Wah demo tracks??? (OR just what your thoughts are in general on these fun tracks?)
VOX Big Bad Wah track downloads
I like all of them, but my faves in order:
1. BBW DDL JAM mix Trip out with this drum and bass-style performance featuring the Time Machine delay in its time-bending element.
>>I love the use of the delay, the track is aggressive, and bass line on this one is bada$$
2. BBW #3 mix The track that started it all! This is the soundtrack to our Big Bad Wah demonstration video—an amazing, high energy performance featuring the Big Bad Wah.
>>Another awesome one to drive to, lots of Wah but not too much.
3. BBW WAH JAM mix An alternate take of the BBW DDL JAM mix featuring the Big Bad Wah.
>>Almost as good as the first two in my list, but maybe just a bit much wah? Suppose it would have been #1 for me if the BBW DDL Jam mix didn't exist!

If Chad can't tour with Chickenfoot the next time around.... perhaps Bryan "Brain" Mantia could fill in?? Lots of hard rock & funk background... Oh yeah, and he's played with Buckethead tons.... ;)
Check these out
drums & clowning around

Join the BUCKETHEAD for G3 movement!
Looking forward to North American BSAWW tour !!!!

Craigy101 - I'm pretty sure it was the Fulltone Ultimate Octave in that particular pedalboard configuration...
I think the little dance he's doing at 7:09 is him kicking off the Fulltone octave, switching on the Digitech Whammy, bringing the delay in, and.... Whammy Time!.
I love how at 7:01 it appears to me that Joe is like "Oh! Gotta get over to the pedalboard!" Watch it a coupla times.... it's funny =)
Happy Birthday Death Cubicle K !!

Turbo236 - congratulations man!
Grant - awesome time on your run. Way to crank out that qualifying time!
anibur - I almost posted that Ozzy quote about Buckethead too....haha, good stuff.....
I bet Ozzy would have loved to have him tearing it up and towering at over 7' tall (w/ bucket) on stage :)

Midknight - just curious, was this the Napa show back in October they tried to attend? I just checked the Uptown Theatre's website, and there are multiple references of 21+over on the site.
Uptown Theatre
I do feel bad for them of course, but I'm not sure how much clearer the venue's website could be? I think LiveNation's site usually mentions age restrictions too.
I guess we may all be that much more cautious now... I know I will be as I have my young children usually with me.
Enjoy the show with your son in December. It's cool you are so close to your kids.

turbo236 - thanks for posting the pedalboard article! Was cool seeing the wide variety of setups - though I must be careful to not let my wife see the minimalist 3-4 pedal boards, lest I never be permitted to purchase another stompbox! haha

yeah, the fact that Cosby was digging Joe's song/groove and ripping solo and all his positive comments directed to Joe was some good stuff. Loving the close ups on Joe jamming after each break

I think the $5 is perfectly reasonable - heck I agree with the guy who commented that he'd give Joe a limb no questions asked!
I guess the only thing is I hope it would NOT require a facebook account... sorry not going there if at all possible... I'm not old, just not into the whole social networking scene. First time I ever even went to Twitter was for Joe's tweets.
