About this concert
Buckethead wears a “Jason” mask, a KFC bucket on his head, and is one of the most mesmerizing, super-fast guitar shredders ever! He has received critical acclaim for his innovative virtuoso electric guitar playing. His music spans several genres, including progressive metal, funk, blues, bluegrass, ambient, and avant-garde music. Buckethead was also a member of Guns N’ Roses from 2000 to 2004. He has also written and performed music for major motion pictures, including Saw II, Ghosts of Mars, Beverly Hills Ninja, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Last Action Hero, Falling, and contributed lead guitar to the track “Firebird” featured on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie soundtrack.
Buckethead was credited by Guitar World as ushering in a new era of virtuosity while ranking the release of his 1992 debut album Bucketheadland the 45th greatest moment in electric guitar history. The magazine has also listed him among the “25 all-time weirdest guitarists”] and the “50 fastest guitarists of all time”.
A SERIOUS must-see!
