Buckethead: Greatest Guitarist Of Our/All Time?

Another thing is I just don't care that much for Mike Patton. And his fingers are in so many damn pies.

Buckethead plays some very generic riff and then Zorn and Eye come in with their predictable schtick.

I think it goes without saying that I like a lot of Zorn's stuff and the Boredoms so I don't want this to be taken the wrong way.

I think Zorn just likes to spread his wings and try new stuff out. Predictable or not, the screechy horsie sax and vocals always get me so it's no biggie.

I like Patton because he took Yamatsuka Eye's ideas and brought them to a whole new level. I think he is held a little too high up in the experimental world, but I don't think it's ill earned. He's probably the only person who uses extended voice technique that most regular people would know. That last part's not a testament to his talent or anything, just something worth noting. I'm not into everything he does, btw, just about 75% of it.

Fair enough. I pretty much agree.

Boredoms are by far the best thing Eye has been involved in that I've heard, in my opinion obviously.

If I'm in the right mood, Hanatarash is his best stuff. The rest of the time it's a fight between Boredoms and Naked City. They're both shouting and shrieking at each other...it gets ugly.

Snake Is Long. Don't Fall The Audio Hole (My Father Said) - A Tribute To The Hanatarash

Hey Frown, ever heard Octave of the Holy Innocents? Buckethead, Jonas Hellborg, and Michael Shrieve. Bet you'd really dig it.

Never knew Buckethead played with Hellborg

Usually just associate him with Shawn Lane and Jeff Sipe

The more you know

I haven't listened to any pikes in a while, and this one's a bit tamer than stuff like Flare (Pike #95), but he's still being repetitive and taking a while to get to the point. I think he's becoming an Ent. lol The Sea Remembers and Triangle are really beautiful pieces.
