  • An Enigma Wrapped in a Riddle Shrouded in Mystery…Buckethead! by Fumaku! 6-13-08 (Friday the 13Th) Revised 2/4/10 Meet Buckethead…An Enigma Wrapped…Yada, Yada, Yada
    An Enigma Wrapped in a Riddle Shrouded in Mystery…Buckethead! By FuMaku! 6-13-08 (Friday the 13th) Revised 2/4/10 Meet Buckethead…an enigma wrapped…yada, yada, yada. Most of you reading this have probably never heard of Buckethead, unless you’re into guitar-shredder extraordinaires and even then maybe not. Some of you may only be aware of Buckethead due to his brief brush with pop culture as a short lived guitar player for Axel Rose’s reconstituted Guns N Roses, though it was years before Chinese Democracy came out. I came to know of Buckethead after seeing him play second guitar with Primus at Ozzfest way back when in the 90’s. After seeing this strange, freakishly tall, bean pole with long hair wearing a porcelain white mask (devoid of expression) sporting a stylish KFC bucket as a hat… shred like an 80’s guitar god. I had to investigate further. After learning that Buckethead had CD’s available, I scoured all the local record stores (When there were Record Stores!) and was rewarded when I found two recently released discs at one of the stores. I would describe these albums as mostly instrumental, techno metal funk forays into prog rock, which I love, so I have been an avid fan ever since. Also since then I have come to realize that, to say Buckethead is prolific would be an understatement. Aside from releasing what seems to be several albums per year every year for nearly 20 years, Buckethead also plays on many other artists’ albums in addition to playing in side bands, such as Praxis, Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains and, coming soon to a chicken coop near you, Science Faxtion.

  • The Most Expensive Album Never Released | the Times
    14/05/2015 The most expensive album never released | The Times The most expensive album never released Burhan Wazir Published at 12:00AM, March 18 2005 Guns N’ Roses started recording Chinese Democracy in the mid­Nineties. But a decade and $13m later, Axl Rose still has to deliver IN THE HALCYON days before international terrorism cast an influence over contemporary songwriting and long before file­ sharing ransacked the music industry, I interviewed Matt Sorum in Los Angeles. Sorum, a drummer who had recently left Guns N’Roses, then the most successful rock group in the world, was, at the time, nursing his bruises. As we chatted, Sorum did his best to explain why he had fallen out with Guns N’Roses’s enigmatic and volatile lead singer Axl Rose, a frontman with a reputation every bit as controversial as that of Mick Jagger or Jim Morrison. Rose, now five years into the recording of a new Guns N’Roses album, their first release since 1993’s The Spaghetti Incident, had become a near­ recluse at his Malibu mansion. Guns N’Roses had fallen into disarray. While Rose held on to the bandname and had started work on a new album, called Chinese Democracy, Sorum had left in 1997 alongside the rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke and bassist Duff McKagen. The lead guitarist, Slash, had quit in 1996. It has now been a decade since Guns N’Roses first started recording sessions for the elusive Chinese Democracy — Axl Rose refuses to conclude his efforts with a release. This despite an ever­changing roster of studio musicians, engineers, producers, consultants and executives who have rung up a white elephant costing around $13 million.

University of Calgary, 1999 A THESIS SUPPORT PAPER SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS IN APPLIED ARTS in Visual Arts EMILY CARR UNIVERSITY OF ART + DESIGN 2016 ©Erin Tysowski, 2016 ABSTRACT In the midst of doing my Master’s degree, I created an alternate persona for myself. She belongs to a tribe of edgy women, and explores various aspects of self in relation to past and present narratives of fandom. Fandom is a subculture of fans that share a common interest, in this case heavy metal. Since 2014, I’ve framed my alternate identity in the art world. For this paper and my art and graduate work she is Rocket Queen [ET]. Her desire to relive becoming Youth Gone Wild1 is a desperate attempt to escape the inevitable: mortality. Rocket Queen and Rocket Queen [ET]- my persona name- is a fantasy character acting in a type of large social drama or my own rock drama where we can witness the rise and fall of rebellious women. Rocket Queen [ET] takes her adventures through a series of art making in the form of rock posters stapled up around the city of Calgary, Alberta as interventions, installations using concert lights and leather reconfigured to appear in the tradition of objects/wall paintings.

  • Buckethead Pikes: an Analysis and Recommendation
    Buckethead Pikes: An Analysis and Recommendation Aaron Snow 12-13-18 Executive summary Buckethead is a guitar virtuoso from California. He literally plays guitar with a bucket on his head. He also happens to Be one of the most prolific artists of all time. To date, he has produced over 300 solo alBums, 275 of which are part of a series of alBums called pikes. I actively run a YouTube channel advocating for Buckethead and his work: the channel is called the Buckethead Disciple. My channel aims to introduce people to Buckethead in the most truthful, informative, and helpful way possiBle. The final info graphic will Be posted on my home page and help my viewers get to know Buckethead’s Pike series a little better. Most of all, given the results of my analysis, my final graphic will help people new to Buckethead know to start listening to some easy rock alBums (given that they sell the Best), and stay away from his experimental work. (To Be honest, I am also hoping that Buckethead’s manager sees this document so that he sees that I look smart and capaBle and so he will hire me to Be his replacement.) Data background and cleaning The data comes from Buckethead’s weBsite, Bucketheadpikes.com. More specifically , the weBsite links to his Bandcamp profile which contains his entire pike discography. The data I oBtained were assembled By a researcher who uploaded most of the information on Wikipedia. There was not a lot of need to clean the data, But it was missing alBum sales per pike.
