Eh... I wouldn't say he pioneered shoegaze at all. If we want to be genre nazis (which I don't object to), the only album that could even be considered a precursor to the genre (from that time period) would be White Light/White Heat... and even that's a bit of a stretch. However, you could say he was an early pioneer of noise rock. His use of guitar feedback (along with The Monks and VU) as well as atonality and dissonance were vital in its creation.

Strange thing is, this thread is starting to make me realize Jimi was probably actually the more experimental of the two. I think it's really hard to image how big of an impact his guitar work made. I mean, the republicans at the time probably thought they were hearing the devil when it first came to their ears.

I can tell by the tone in your voice and the way you pronounce "The Republicans", that you could possibly be a hard core Democrat Ska Lagos Jew Sun Ra.

Meanwhile..back to the subject at hand..

What would be one of Bucketheads more popular/mainstream singles?

Jordan is his most famous song. It's not one of his best songs though. A lot of people judge him based on that song alone and then think he's just a shredder.

You should check out this song.

On last.fm, Buckethead's 7 days most played and 6 months most played aren't altogether very different (sadly).

Jimi brought in something never heard before. Buckethead simply perfects the already existing sounds.

That's one way to put your seemingly irrelevant comparison into context..

I'm probably a bit left for democrat economically. Plus, I've very pro-death penalty, and apathetic to the environment. I meant mostly just the 'white haired old men' who probably are the same who worship Hendrix today, and rip into any of the radical variants of current generation guitarists(albeit, there are few as the instrument has been going out of style).

Buckethead is a more studied guitarist, probably well more academic in his approach. Hendrix literally taught himself simply by playing with his instrument, imitating things on feel(and probably being slightly inaccurate), where as you assume Buckethead analyzes things from a more textbook point of view.

take a good listen to this and tell me that this isn't the earliest instance of "shoegaze":-

I'm sorry, but you really can't compare Buckethead to Hendrix, two different eras, and two different styles. As previously posted, Buckethead studies other guitarists and their styles, he then adapts them into his own music. I like to believe that Jimi Hendrix truly pioneered the amazing riffs of the electric guitar, and he truly made the electric guitar the instrument it is today. You can't say Hendrix's music doesn't have emotion, if you watch the man live you can see it in how he plays, he feels the song, he truly makes the crowd feel the amount of emotion in his playing. Hendrix is the only artist that has really emotionally hit me in such a way that I am just awe struck after the song is over.



You can just feel the power in this song.
