I just found out that Buckethead has released something like 90 albums this year. The dude is absolutely a machine.

Edit: Looks like it's actually 99. The crazy bastard released 9 albums in the time it took me to write my comment!

Does he just jam for 30 minutes and call it an album?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Apparently so haha

The Pike Series are mini-albums that Buckethead began releasing rapidly in 2011, usually around 30 minutes in length.

Over a basic backing track in a MacBook, yeah.

Most boring concert I've ever been to. The Wood Brothers were more exciting.

WTF? Really? I never listened to him much, but I know from what I've heard he's beyond amazing.

Edit: according to Wikipedia you're missing a few hundred 😳

Buckethead's discography currently includes 435 studio albums (388 of which are in the Pike series), one live album, four special releases, five demo tapes, three solo DVD video releases, two DVD video releases with Cornbugs, three music videos, three solo videography releases, and 16 videography releases with other artists.

Edit 2: his origin story is hilarious, dude definitely has a screw loose 😂

I was eating it (KFC chicken), and I put the mask on (that he had just bought after watching Halloween 4) and then the bucket on my head. I went to the mirror. I just said, 'Buckethead. That's Buckethead right there.' It was just one of those things. After that, I wanted to be that thing all the time.

The 99 I mentioned were just FROM THIS YEAR! Dude is absolutely insane!

Holy shit. Seriously????

He's phenomenal

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Only 1 live album though. That's surprising considering.

My mind boggles. Also, I'm curious to have a listen. 👀

Also, 99 😱
