Because although he has quite a lot in his discography which doesn't appeal that much to me, he's quite diverse and every now and then I find a little gem by him which I like.









That last one is with Les Claypool and "Brain" from Primus.

Let's not forget his poppy stuff!

Well I have heard of him from everywhere but never actually got a chance to hear him before I came across this forum and GODDAMN you gotta' hand it to 'em the guys a genius.

I hate Jerry Centrell.

He looks so eerie playin' up there with his mask. It's great. Did he play at bonarroo once?

Ok, Kurt Cobain, Dave Navarro, Mike McCreedy, etc. Insert any number of grunge guitarists into my sentence, and my point remains the same: the guitarists you put on a pedestal are just plain boring when compared to Buckethead (whose technical abilities are not above and beyond any neoclassical shredder). And if you retort with "Buckethead only shreds, how is that not boring", you'll be as low as coryallen in my books.

:wavey: Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!

Hey GJ

What IS corporate rock? All rock music on a major label? All rock music that's meant to have commercial appeal? Shouldn't Nirvana and Pearl Jam be considered corporate rock then?

Either way. That would be excluding a lot of quality music. Not to mention "corporate rock sucks" is a ridiculous cliche.

Id have to agree with Neil Young on this one.

"What has degraded what we now call «rock and roll» is not rock in itself, but rather « pop». Commercial product. It's an imitation, a pale ressemblance of what it once was. It's Perry Como compared to real rock. You remember how it started? There was real rock, then that other music that everyone listened to. Today, our parents listen to rock. It's over. Even if I'm a parent, OK. But that's how it is. "

I love Neil, but he kinda sounds like a grouchy, incoherent old man in that quote.

What is he trying to say?

Well the reporter asked him which rock bands hes into today. He replied with rocknroll is dead, its now modern rock, and that there has been a rise of commercial pop. Then went off praising Sonic Youth as one of the best bands out today.(rightfully so).

Well I don't get what he's complaining about. Music evolves, it can't stay the same forever.

He wasnt really complaining, just telling the reporter that rocknroll has changed and is not like it was.

I'm bumping this because Dragons of Eden is a killer album and every music lover should listen to it!

New?

Is it like an old one?

Soothsayer kicks ass! I haven't heard much else by him though except for that song he did with Serj.

k, and are you planning on getting any albums? you should
