About Me
Buckethead began playing guitar at the age of twelve. He has been quoted as saying, however, that he did not begin playing seriously until the following summer, when he moved from Huntington Beach, California to Claremont, California. His playing began improving with lessons from several various teachers including the late Geoffrey Vaughan, Johnny Fortune, Max McGuire, Mark Hammond, and Pebber Brown. Later on he also picked up a trick or two from Paul Gilbert and Shawn Lane. He began making demo recordings of both his playing as well as his writing styles. In the year 2000, Buckethead had joined Guns n' Roses as Lead Guitarist, but n March 2004 Buckethead left Guns N' Roses, according to his manager, due to "Guns' inability to complete an album or tour". Guns N' Roses' response after Buckethead's departure was as follows: During his tenure with the band, Buckethead has been inconsistent and erratic in both his behavior and his commitment, despite being under contract, creating uncertainty and confusion and making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals, and live plans with confidence. His transient lifestyle has made it near impossible for even his closest friends to have nearly any form of communications with him whatsoever. Later in an interview with Revolver, Ozzy Osbourne stated that he had offered to have Buckethead play guitar in his band at Ozzfest. Ozzy quickly changed his mind after meeting with him, and realizing that Buckethead would not remove his costume in order to be accepted by Ozzy, said: "I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me, but only if he got rid of the fucking bucket. So I came back a bit later, and he's wearing this green fucking Martian's-hat thing! I said, 'Look, just be yourself.' He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother.' So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!' I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing fucking mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up'? Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a motherfucker." Buckethead has recorded and released a song entitled "The Homing Beacon" on his website, along with a drawing of Michael Jackson to serve as a tribute to the late singer. The song is currently available for download on the website. Recently, Buckethead has recorded a new album titled Needle in a Slunk Stack which will be made available officially for purchase on the 9th of October, though it can be ordered now on the TDRS website. The long-awaited Death Cube K album Torn from Black Space was released In October of 2009.
