I took my two sons, Jackson & Robert and luckily got right on the front row to take pictures and record. I had a canon s100 that I got the cover photo of this video from and was told by the boys the next song was Soothsayer.
I was using a Razor Max by Android and had no idea if the video would turn out ok or if the audio would be blown-out. I handed the phone to Robert on the way home and asked him to check if the videos taken were any good. He replied "Wow, these are pristine!" I uploaded them immediately upon getting home and posted online. Musicradar.com shared along with ultimateguitar.com and it went viral soon after.
Soothsayer is the 6th track from the Buckethead album "Crime Slunk Scene" is the eighteenth studio album by Buckethead, and his fourth tour-only album. It was originally only sold on his 2006 tour, but was later made available on Travis Dickerson's record label TDRS music, until it eventually went out of print.
I had seen Buckethead years earlier at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach with Pinchface on drums. One thin was really obvious, he'd really evolved as a showman, and his chops have improved , if that's even possible. It's nobody's business "ranking" guitarist by talent or skill, because it's an unwinnable argument.
As a guitarist of 37 years, I can't think of a guitarist/artist/musician/entertainer that keeps getting better, heavier, more melodic, and advancing the art guitar wizardry like Mr. Buckethead. He's the Steph Curry of guitar right now.
Also, I never dreamed while listening to Praxis, DeathCubeK, & Bucketheadland in 1995 that 21 years later, me and my 2 teenage sons would all get to be front-row and get to tap the coveted- red-arcade kill switch on his guitar during the show! What an honor! \m/\m/ Raleigh , North Carolina 5/13/2016

I’ve seen Buckethead three times with my son. All three times right up next to the stage. Every time, he hands out toys to the people in the front, and we’ve both played his kill switch. My son has all of our toys in his bedroom studio as mementos. I must say, that those concerts with my son will be something neither of us will forget.

Buckethead is a genius who turned himself into a legend.

When mankind is ready and worthy, Buckethead will press the top button on his guitar... and we will live in harmony.

I "discovered" Buckethead this year (2023) at 60 years old, and no matter how many times I watch this video and others, I'm amazed every time by his technical abilities and his talent as an overall musician. I grew up around a lot of amazing professional musicians/guitarists, and I can only hope that I get the chance to see him live soon, as I would happily pay for front row no matter the cost if I had the money!!! Hey Mr. B, how about an invite to your next show. I'm a retired Professional Chef with 30+ years of experience and will provide you some awesome things for you to enjoy during the event and afterwards. Like Mom told me, it never hurts to ask. ;)

I am French but this song is not a question of language ! It means so much to me : it speaks about life, joy, anger, happiness, sadness, melancoly... Love, disappointement, sadness... Thanks Mr Buckethead 😘

Amazing..my son listened to buckethead his entire junior year of high school. Now he is the assistant fry chef at Kentucky fried chicken!
