The first song, Hold Me Forever, as many of you know, is for his mom. Nothing changes you like losing your mother, no matter how old you are when it happens. The first time I heard this, I thought of my mom going through horrible pain off and on for 2 1/2 years while she struggled with cancer until she died at 47 when I was just 20. I wept like a baby through the whole 28 minutes even though it happened 50 years ago. I've listened to all kinds of music my whole life and NEVER has any music touched me so profoundly as this man's music. I just discovered him about two years ago. Listen to him almost every day. Now I have tickets to see him in Rocklin, CA in June. I feel extremely fortunate as he doesn't tour much. He's not just a musician. He is a toucher and transformer of souls. So many comments on KZfaq videos from people saying that he saved their lives. Seriously, how many other musicians have that effect on people?

Me living a solitary life- with no friends or family - walking alone on the street. Me and the buckethead playlist. Helps me get by. ❤

Whenever I listen to this guy, I immediately check the comments as well. It heals me to see people love him so much and his music takes people with him in a journey, he is one of a kind.

Buckethead is a genre of music

i went to the original Woodstock wen i was 15yo & Buckethead wuda been just a few months old during that era, i just turned 70yo on 04.28.2024 & i hope i liv long enuff 2 enjoy all of Buckethead's songs ! I've seen alotta musican's come & go in my time here on Earth, bt i gotta say this much, Bucketthead nhas 2 be 1 of the finest guitarist i've ever heard in my entire life !!!

Hold Me Forever is supernatural...

I'm 68 years old I've seen many guitarists but this current this energy this guitar wisdom had never heard the student surpassed his teacher Paul Gilbert and with an immeasurable creativity Buckethead has no more to discover on guitar I came out of my depression thanks to this great gentleman. thanks

He does feed the "SOUL", every time you re-listen to a track you get more out of it.

Buckethead always takes you with him

Damn that Hold Me Forever ... i think i heard it about 30times in the last 4 days ...

Came across Buckethead totally by accident, youtube was on autoplay and it was some Slash vs Buckethead video and I was like "who tf is this guy and why are they comparing him to Slash".. He was trollong in the video, playing with some chicken toy and stuff and it got me curious.. Dug a bit deeper and WOW, Slash has nothing on this guy, not even in the same stratosphere 😳

it feels like i have found my life's background music

Finding Bucketheads music has been one of the most radical times of my life.

Buckethead helped me with my depression and helps keep me motivated to better myself! :D

Buckethead is a really good guitar player, so good that people don't even give him credit for his writing. The way that he can write such long pieces that just flow together is amazing. Most guitarists fall back onto riffing and shredding, but he writes music more like you'd expect from a classical pianist.

Children, let me tell you a story of a man... A man who, after years of enjoying the colonel's chicken then became allergic to one of the herbs and spices in his signature blend. Heartbroken he gently placed one of the buckets of the chicken he craved atop his head. Surrounded by the scent of what he'd lost he began to pour out a heart wrenching song of love and loss. Some people say he's still out there, pouring out ballads to the flavor that will never be his. Touching hearts with the sweet melodic sound of seasonings.

He is with his music is making us understand the Meaning of why we are on this Earth, making us think Deep into our souls and having us enjoy the Harmony of Nature and the Universe . I thank God & the Aliens for this Soul on Earth ! Thank you Bucket Head for Changing the Course of our Lives !

we buckethead fans are a special breed. something about him connects us all its a beautiful thing. he is a symbol, and i think about him everyday. just hoping hes doing ok and all the people hes influenced. makes being alive tolerable for me.

Buckethead is the uranium of music...the source of limitless energy the world needs but does not deserve

I am 69 years young and just love this guy. I used to think Hendrix was the best but, hell, this is what guitar playing is about - LOVE IT !!! Especially Hold me forever -WOW

Some hero’s wear a cape. My hero wears a bucket, on his head.

You can tell he writes songs with his heart

Finest guitar player of this century, so creative and full of feelings, a real pleasure for human beings.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BUD! race, religion, politics, origin, etc, all of it takes a back seat when the old bucket /live music starts up n the boogie is going! keep on bud!

HOLD ME FOREVER is utterly magnificent!!! builds to a miasma of superb guitarring!!!!!!!!!

I never realized how bad I needed a KZfaq ad right before the greatest solo of all time kicks in, tnx man

He has so much I could never learn the names. But I've never heard anything that wasn't incredible. When I see Buckethead I just hit play and let it go. I've never been disappointed I am always amazed. He is without a doubt the greatest guitar player ever

The Gods sent this person to open our minds & spirits

"Buckethead"? Okay algorithm, you're weird, but let's give it a shot." Half an hour later: "Fuck me."

A few years ago I wanted to joke. I took it back after being corrected. Definately. Music genius Orchestra with drums and buckethead. Keep on ripping brother...

Listening to Buckethead, painting and airbrushing psychodelic art

Hold Me Forever is proof the Buckethead isn't human

I never actually listened to buckethead just knew if it. I’m here now.

It's impossible to describe how beautiful it is

Until a week ago, my life was incomplete not knowing about Buckedhead, since then, i sometimes can't sleep cause i'm so high in his music 24/7. This man is a legend🔥🔥🔥

Clairvoyant 🎶 music. Speaks to the soul.

Man, Buckethead is nuts. How much energy does this guy has? The nonstop riffs he does are insane!

he plays in a way that we all love; it seems that he's making our dreams come true, playing exactly the things we would if we could..long music highways, long landscapes we dream to play on, over, and over, and over.

Music like this makes me believe in magic.

Kicking it off with "Hold Me Forever", probably my favorite pike of all time. I've run through this so many times and it never gets old.

Seeing him for the second time next month. Can't wait!!

I am sitting here listening to Buckethead on Christmas morning 2021 and it brings me great Joy! Merry Christmas Buckethead!!!

I just discovered Buckethead (he was in my list while listening to Tool) and just...wow. Nothing else explains it better than that. Now I am in Buckethead land.

Thank you KZfaq autoplay for introducing me to another great artist.

We are blessed to have buckethead-disciples like you

These make the best jam tracks when you want to blast off. So far

NEVER delete this

He comes to play in my city in a few months and I just can't wait.

The greatest in the history of the guitar!!!!

i think from the time i heard buckethead i only listen to him dude fills my soul anytime of the day any feeling how is not the greatest recognized guitarist ever lived?

This moment that you have to go to do something but you can't stop the video..

Más de 30 años escuchando rock..heavy metal etc...y desde q descubrí al señor buckethead todo lo demas me sobra....su música te hace sentir de todo...desde euforia hasta llorar....sin duda es el mejor de todos...el flow que tiene es insuperable..rey de reyes ❤️

Got my 4 year old brother into Buckethead. I'm teaching him good tastes 😎

I don't know if there's one tune that i don't like by this amazing artist. Buckethead is a GIFT to humanity 💞 thank you for this incredible compilation.

How can songs with no lyrics move me so much? More than a guitar hero!

Damn, I always saw this guy's picture around and then his signature white Les Paul baritone guitar, for a while, but for no particular reason never really listened. This is incredible.

artistry in its purest form

I hope you're smiling under you're mask!!! The greatest!?!

This is extremely good and just what the good old doctor ordered. Thanks!

This video is audible medicine to me. I listen to it all the time when I'm at work. IM IN LOVEEE 🤟🤘

I'll probably catch some flack for this, not taking away anything from satriani or Gilbert as they both had an influence on his playing. But in more than my humble opinion not only is he on the same playing field as those greats but as of now , right here right now not only does he outplay them but he is sitting in a circle and pedestal all by himself not many if any can pick up the ax and shred so intensely that there is no need for words because his playing invokes every emotion that it literally speaks volumes all on its own. Now I know it's not a contest I know it's art from the top down and vise versa but to me IMHO. No one even comes within the same vicinity as this man! Here's to you Brian! Long Live THEE Bucket Of all Buckets!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻bring whole new meaning to 'I get Buckets" lol

holy shit! this is so much .... buckethead is from another world

His music resonates with every cell in my body. He is just amazing.

I am so happy I found him. Great musician, very underrated. I love his style

Buckethead should be in the top 5 guitarists, the world over! Florrmat is such a representation of his skills as an instrumentalist. Continue the quest, there's yet, more to come!

I find it enjoyable as I listen to read through the comments. So many feel as I do about such a talented man.

Physically unable to stop listening to the incredible artist! So much diversity! Every bar has something different to offer my ears, and my ears are loving every single note! How this brilliant artist hasn't made to the mainstream is beyond me... The world would truly be a better place if more of us sorry souls on planet earth would listen, soak up these juicy riffs, these sick licks, and enjoy the nirvana that is Buckethead!

This is giving me energy to keep up for my graduation

Famous musicians listen to Buckethead on the down low 🎉😊💯.

EVERY-TIME I LISTEN TO BUCKETHEAD - I THINK ITS GOING TO BE JUST MUSIC. EACH TIME IT ENDS UP BEING AN INTENSE DEEP JOURNEY

I'm glad Buckethead can play whatever he wants...

Hold me forever is INSANE!

Florrmat - one of the most badass intros of all time.

Buckethead is my drug and I have a serious addiction...this took me places. Major props on this playlist, the best yet!!!

Will be riding my motorcycle listening to this!

Thanks Bucket and You and and your Cousin, nice to meet you both, P Sticks, it was a bit ago at The State Theater in the St Petersburg, I had the Guitar Shop,next to the State Theater, in St Pete, In the Star Booty, you came by, checked out my shop, and the rest of the show was awesome, please :)

I've heard of buckethead for a few years on various metal/hard rock pages I follow. And unfortunately, for whatever reason, up until today. I never gave him a listen. I'm ashamed at that, now, that I dived in today. This is beautiful.

Una Bestia el SR. BUCKETHEAD A REAL BEAST MR. BUCKETHEAD

Keeps getting better, beginning to see more of the landscape , seeing more of the contrast that exists between light generated by emotional reality and the intense dark descents into imagination and fantasy. . . He has the ability to exist in both realms at the same time and I believe he is explaining it all to us without using any words. . .

OH! His guitar definitely speaks! The greatest guitar play I´ve ever heard. So gentle, also agressive, technical and moody and SO melodic! It´s everything included in his music! I just hit the PLAY button and flew away to his world of music!

BH from another Dimension 😎✌️

This makes me feel like i NEED to drink right now just to handle my emotions while listening

The output of Buckethead is just incredible. This guy was a Chopin or Beethoven in a prior life.

It's just out of this world!!!

oh man this come on from suggestions was jaming sohard to this didn't realize it was bucket head. I only ever seen his random appearances on live stage with crappy low quality sound. never got to appreciate it like this before ❤

Buildor is a badass masterpiece. Dark as hell.

A música de Buckethead consegue despertar uma explosão dos mais diversos sentimentos. Sonhos, aflições, desesperos, vitórias, lutas, quedas e sucessos, tudo muito unido e tudo muito antagônico. São paradoxos, sim este som é paradoxal. Um verdadeiro mestre, um virtuose. Este é o objetivo das obras-primas: Impactar. Obrigada por esta excelente seleção.

Only the lucky few elect to these megalithic jams legendary

Nobody plays like him. I can listen to this all day

My generations smooth jazz.

I just bought a new TV. I fell asleep while listening to deftones and I woke up to this mix playing. This guy is amazing and it helps me sleep. Weird how I found out about this guy half asleep 😂😂

I love him so much! So much! I wish I can ever touch him! My dream is to meet him and tell him how much he means to Me. The greatest guitarist of all time, the technique, the passion, the suffering, he has it all.

Speechless! Amazing! I get goose bumps every time I listen to this amazing musician! What pours from his fingers is life changing!

This is Epic! 20min solo just killing it. Buckethead rules.

Keep calm kids, and listen to Buckethead. 😃😃😃

Час назад наткнулся этого гения я в восторге! 🤘

D' une autre galaxie ... 👍👍Ce type est un prodige .

never really listened to buckethead at all, a bit before my time, but im glad iclicked on thi. just a few minutes in and already loving the vibes

Listening to it while tattooing. Much respect and love. Awesome flow... I am still buying cds and supporting good music. I will support this guy because i love to hear this and i am looking forward for cd sound... Nice listening everyone!

This popped up randomly in my autoplay a few months ago. I'd never heard him before and it blew my mind like no guitarist ever has, he deserves to be a hell of a lot more popular than he is.
