buckethead will always be buckethead

Has any of u heard of a guitar player called buckethead? well if u havent go read it on wikipedia and listen to one of his songs already, awesome player thats for sure, even made it to ozzy ozborne, rather surprising what happened there, this is so hilarious i just had to post it in the blog xD


Here's an interesting piece of Buckethead trivia. Ozzy Osbourne has gone on record (in Revolver) saying that he'd offered Buckethead the chance to play guitar in his band at Ozzfest. The offer fell through after Buckethead refused to go onstage without his costume. Here are some choice quotes from Ozzy (for more on this visitroadrunnerrecords.com):

"I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me but only if he got rid of the f**king bucket. So I came back a bit later and he's wearing this green f**king Martian's-hat thing! I said, 'Look, just be yourself'. He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother'. So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!'. I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing f**king mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up'? Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a motherf**ker!"
