Buckethead September 29, 2012

Buckethead is one of the more bizarre and enigmatic figures to be found in American underground and experimental music since Parliament-Funkadelic birthed their bevy of cosmic characters in the mid-'70s. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist best known for his virtuosic command of the electric guitar, Buckethead (born Brian Carroll) is a pioneer in avant-garde music, featuring elaborate stage shows, innovative musicianship, rapid-fire riffing, near-robotic fretwork and idiosyncratic ramblings that combine elements of Yngwie Malmsteen, Adrian Belew, avant-improv artist John Zorn and more. His stage persona represents a character that was "raised by chickens" and has made it his "mission in life to alert the world to the ongoing chicken holocaust in fast-food joints around the globe."
