His hat actually looks good on him. I wonder how he'll look with a bucket ^_^

I too love Buckethead's technique and his work with Praxis is fantastic. I don't think he has as much "soul" as Hendrix, but then again not many do

Buckethead went to my high school. His brother and dad were teacher's there or at least were when i went there. He came to our battle of the bands with Serj Tankian from SOAD and killed it with his melodic riffs, heavy licks, and robot stuff.

That's a side project I'd pay to hear.

Ok so I've been listening to Buckethead for the last hour and a half, and nothing really has jumped out at me. I really dont hear any soul coming from his music just a lot experimentation type riffs and ventures. I'll give it some time and see if it grows on me but nothing has initially blown me away so far. Of course maybe if he wasnt wearing a mask and Kentucky fried chicken box on his head you could see more emotion. Not saying he's not a talented guitarist, just nothing about his playing that sets him apart from the rest that I've heard. Also his sound to me is..to clean..for lack of a better term. Typically I tend to like the rawer more edgy sound a Fender Strat or Tele pelt out. Again I'll give it some time and see if I can come around some more.

You're not going to get soul.
