Gross.

Talking about my music with a **** talker is still talking about my music. Props for the SEO assistance, Chula.

EDIT: ****, I think I gave away my strategy. What I meant to say was that I'm better than Jimmy Page.

I forgot about Buckethead. What's a pike though, other than a fish or an ancient weapon? Mind you, to date anything I've heard from BH has been pretty damn good, whereas I can't say the same for DT. But anyone pretentious enough to release an album called Stuff That Was Stuff Before It Was Stuff (or something) deserves at least my scorn.

It's an album series.

Buckethead is a great example of overreleasing to the point of diluting the sound tbh.

The album he did with Michael Shreve (famous for his performance with Santana at Woodstock) and Jonas Hellborg is a masterpiece. So sublime.

Why is genius posed as a separate category from being a knob? As far as I can tell, there's a positive correlation between the two.

I only chose those lyrics because the sheet music to that song was hanging up and I had no idea what to say. But ja I think they're funny too.

Yes, he is a knob because he likes to create music.
