Diversity: Jimi Hendrix
Influence: Jimi Hendrix
Name: Buckethead

Jimi Hendrix is the most emotional guitarist of all time in my opinion. You can't feel the anger channeled so vividly into the riffs of any other guitarist. Those are my thoughts. Buckethead had his place too, though I don't think he's even close to Jimi Hendrix when it comes to emotional playing.

Have you listened to his album Colma? That album was personally made for his mother who had cancer. The emotion in that album is insane. Buckethead plays everything from Jazz to Funk to Progressive to Acoustic and more. I don't think Jimi could have done that. In creativity I'll be more lenient since Hendrix does have Voodoo Chile, Red House and Foxy Lady.

I think in Emotion and Diversity that Buckethead has it on lock.

Listen to this.

Please don't take this in the wrong way, but I disagree with you. I still think Hendrix is a lot more expressive in the way he plays, his energy is phenomenal and I think he has to be the better player.
Yes, I've heard Colma. "Wondering" was the best, but I still found it a bit too creepy.

Yeah..sure...creepy....sure..

Hey, I'm just saying I didn't like it. My brain just couldn't relate to it. I didn't find it "played from the heart". I thought it had neither structure nor meaning.

If you like it, I have no authority whatsoever to tell you that you are wrong. It really is a question of taste. Just don't expect too many people agreeing with you when you try and claim that Buckethead is better than Jimi Hendrix.

I think a lot of Hendrix is just the name. I know he was a great player for his time but if it was Hendrix playing those songs people would be falling over worshiping him. I've done blind tests with people and have found out this is true. You show someone a great song and before you show it to them you say "Hendrix, Clapton, Eddie Van made it" and they go all crazy. It's more of a psychological thing.

I really have to disagree with that. The first time I heard this song, I'd no idea it was him:


Jimi Hendrix- Peace in Mississippi - YouTube

You can't deny the passion and the energy of the riffs, even if you don't like him.

For me, it was seeing with my own eyes, watching Jimi Hendrix manipulate the electric guitar on stage (live recordings). Its just sad to imagine, when you wounder what Hendrix would've accomplished if he'd lived. I guess some might assume, "that was never meant to happen".

Its in a certain sense, the same way with Clapton. I never respected Clapton as a great Blues Artist until I seen him perform covers by Robert Johnson on video.

When you can actually observe an artist performing, that adds almost as much to the ballgame as the music itself.

I reccomend that you listen to the album Population Override. It's Bucketheads dedication to the "great vinyl records of the 60's and 70's".


This is true, but if there's anyone that you can compare to Hendrix, it's Buckethead.

I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. Hendrix is light years ahead of Buckethead, and im reasonably fond of the latter
