He has collaborated with Les Claypool of Primus several times so I have heard of him. He does good work. I'm not sure I would listen to all 306 of his albums though.Soul Monster wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 23:23 Lately I've been listening to a lot of Buckethead. I got into him back when I was in high school, but it was only a couple years ago, when I found out he had 306 albums and counting, that I started listening to him on a hardcore level. I've listened to between 130-140 of his albums, and wow, this guy has so much variety to his work and he can play basically anything on guitar.
I strongly recommend checking him out, there's something for everyone in his discography, from heavy rockers, to chill out, to ambience, to horror. You won't be disappointed.
I've heard a couple of those, and Monsters And Robots is probably my favorite. I know what you mean about listening to his entire discography,Syllypryde wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 0:41 He has collaborated with Les Claypool of Primus several times so I have heard of him.

Considering I have 600-700 cd's, 306 albums might not be that big of stretch, but I probably wouldn't like them enough to listen to them semi-regularly let alone regularly.Soul Monster wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:54I've heard a couple of those, and Monsters And Robots is probably my favorite.

I mean 300+ albums, how do you keep up with that? Especially when he's still putting out multiple albums a year, but there's certainly a few in particular that are worth a listen. There's something for everyone.
600-700?! That's awesome! It's good to hear that there's other people out there who still see the value of owning physical media.Syllypryde wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 11:39 Considering I have 600-700 cd's, 306 albums might not be that big of stretch, but I probably wouldn't like them enough to listen to them semi-regularly let alone regularly.
I see the value in supporting the artists I respect with my money. However, since Hollywood has mostly exposed themselves for the morally corrupt and hypocritical cynts they are, I doubt I will ever buy most movies spewed out of Hollywood ever again. As for Buckethead for the most the only music I checked out from him has been his collaborations with Les. I might have heard other albums here and there.Soul Monster wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 5:40 600-700?! That's awesome!

As for the Bucket stuff, it kinda depends on what you're in to. Being a more hardcore fan of his work, I can tell you that there's a lot of albums
I don't listen to often (partly because of his vast catalogue), though a lot of times they make for good background music, and I wouldn't say everything he's ever done is necessarily good, but there's a fair amount of albums that really stand out (Population Override, Colma, Electric Tears,
A Real Diamond In The Rough and Pepper's Ghost just to name a few).
I get it. I'm the same way, and I too have been feeling disenchanted with Hollywood for some time now what with the lack of creativity andSyllypryde wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 11:38 I see the value in supporting the artists I respect with my money.

I first heard Guns N' Roses when I watched their video for Welcome to the Jungle. Contrary to popular belief the video premiered on MTV's Headbangers Ball 6 months+ before it hit radio stations and even before MTV started airing the video during the day. I remember guys getting all excited about Guns N' Roses "new video" while I had seen it long before that. I gave up on them when Chinese Democracy was supposed to come out and seemingly never did. Once it did it was most definitely not worth the wait. I will always enjoy Appetite for Destruction but most likely will never return to anything else they've done.Soul Monster wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 21:19 Currently listening to the Guns N' Roses locker leaks from 2019 (it's a long story). It just shows how much wasted potential the new lineup had
in the early 2000s if Chinese Democracy had been released while people were still interested. I mean, there's like 2-3 albums worth of material
just on these discs, and about 30 songs on there never got released. The songs on them that DID get released also sound way better than what we got
(no excessive overdubs or pro tools, no drawn out intros, and Brian May plays on a few songs). Not only that, but this lineup consisted of
some of the most talented musicians out there, from NIN guitarist Robin Finck, to guitar hero Buckethead, to Vandals and A Perfect Circle
drummer Josh Freese, to Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson, and so on.
That's awesome that you got to see the classic era while it was still current!Syllypryde wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 22:09 I first heard Guns N' Roses when I watched their video for Welcome to the Jungle.

Where did you find these "locker leaks"?Soul Monster wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 3:21 .....But I will say this: after listening to the locker leaks of 2019, I like these songs a lot more. What I got out of it is basically what all the songs on the album sounded like in 1999-2001 before they had been neutered on the final product, and as a result, they flow better, they have a more organic and aggressive sound, and there's a lot less going on in the songs. Not only that, but there was also a bunch of unreleased songs on the discs,
and it's nice to finally hear them after hearing the titles mentioned all these years.
In order for me to tell you where I got them, I have to tell you the story of how it happened. I'll try my best to sum it up and just give you the short and dirty of it, but there's a lot to this story.
