Buckethead!

[AxlRoseCalifornia]

So i saw this video:

Buckethead and Brain Jam [original video]

And became interested in exploring Buckethead's material.

Iv checked Electric Tears and Colma already cause they were the albums that most came up on Youtube.

but where should i start? and is there any Buckethead album that has Brain on the tracks also?

I just love the way they work together! Especially in that video.

Thank you

Brain is featured on quite a few Buckethead albums.  On Colma, he plays drums for the track "For Mom" (maybe more tracks but I'm unsure).

Start with "Dragons Of Eden", Praxis - "Transmutation", "The Big Eyeball in the Sky", then "A Real Diamond in the Rough".

Don't forget "Giant Robot NTT" which is a free album and can be found here:  http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NJVSTWSS

Giant Robot and Crime Slunk Scene are two of my faves.

[AxlRoseCalifornia]

Im totally falling in love with buckethead's work. Love it! He plays everything! Amazing!! 

[CITR]

check out his new album shadows between the sky

[AxlRoseCalifornia]

 i will! im on the "A real diamond in the rough" one

[mjc3474]

Inbred mountain is another really good one, one of his best imo. 

Nice Raiden avatar CITR.  I just got a PS3 and MGS4 last week, almost beat it and it is awesome.  Hopefully the new raiden game is on the same level of greatness as all four mgs games... i'm very skeptical of it.

Pray to god this new director for the MG series is as inspiring as Hideo Kojima...

The album I usually suggest for first-time listeners is Enter the Chicken, it's the most accessible. (Well, maybe "The Hand" does not fall into that category, even though it's the best song on the album :P )

Elephant Man's alarm clock is great also.
And Acoustic Shards. And... oh fuck it just download the discography and put it on shuffle.

I'd have to say Enter the Chicken would be one of the last i'd recommend, i'd say Population Override or Crime Slunk Scene

I actuallly agree, 'cos by then you'll know most of the other people on EtC

That's why I think it is a good introduction... My point was that for most people instumental guitar music can get to be too much at first, but by the time they get to the end of the album, they get to like the style. And then they get hooked on Nottingham Lace. And from there, there is no stopping. :P This approach had actually worked on quite a lot of people. Now, they are converted.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 13 Disc Box of IN SEARCH OF THE. I'm quite a big fan (name sake and all), but other people have suggested what I would have anyway.

Cuckoo Clocks Of Hell still remains one of my favourite ever albums.
