Buckethead - Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains

Now that Buckethead is out of Guns 'n Roses you say you don't know how you're going to get your Buckethead fix? Are you mad? Buckethead, the first guitar god of the 21st century, always has something going on...usually several things at the same time. He just finished up a tour with Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, which is basically 3/4 of Praxis (Buckethead, Bernie Worrell and Brain) along with Les Claypool, in support of their recent release The Big Eyeball in the Sky. It's pretty much what you would expect from these guys if you are familiar with them: seriously offbeat tunes, exceptional musicianship, and Les's Zappa-esque "singing". Check out Thai Noodles and Ignorance Is Bliss. You can also buy recordings of the tour's shows from C2B3Live. If you want just Buckethead there is his latest album, Cuckoo Clocks of Hell, and you purchase a few of his live shows for download from BucketheadsLiveWedges.com. And if that isn't enough, you can spend New Year's Eve watching him perform. The man is busy, people! So break out your yellow windbreaker and stock up at KFC. If all else fails, it will make a great halloween costume.
