224:. Ultimately, working with GN'R became a drain on Buckethead's insatiable creative appetite (he released 28 albums of material in 2007 alone), and he's currently back where he belongs, working on an endless succession of solo projects and numerous collaborations. From the extreme violence and atonal brilliance of the

Slash: Well, that is actually true. Anybody who knows me knows that technically I couldn't play my way out of a paper bag. Or a
Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket, for that matter. I manage to do what it is I do based on a certain kind of feel and sound. I'm getting better at it but I've never been what

Though Slash is gone, the various guitarists filling his shoes more than compensate: Buckethead (also long gone, though his performances remain on the record) presumably provides the Tom
Morello-like squawks, scrapes and squeaks toward the end of the title track; the riveting "Riad N' the Bedouins"

While no one is sure of the identity of the enigmatic guitarist
Buckethead, it's difficult to argue against his virtuosity on guitar. While Buckethead's brand of shred has much in common with Paul Gilbert, the eccentric KFC-wearing guitarist also implements robot sounds and other unorthodox effects

Paradise City officially became uninhabitable in 1996 when Slash walked out on Axl Rose, shattering one of the best, most rewardingly volatile relationships in rock history. Not only did the split force us to endure Slash’s

1988 While not a group, Buckethead certainly has helped the masked marauder of rock cause. A veritable cult figure in the late '90s the experiemental/prog/speed-metal/free-form jazz guitarist carved out his own unique niche based on his insane influential amalgamation (i.e. a myriad of styles and

L.A. Weekly: I interviewed Dave
Mustaine awhile back at Guitar Center Sessions and he sang your praises but then said, "Buckethead is probably twice as good a guitar player as me and Slash combined, and can stand having fried chicken rubbed up against his face all night for a couple of hours."

to create a subgenre of "avant-shred." Although we may not know
Buckethead's true identity, luckily there's no lack of material when you consider that the guitarist releases a new collaboration seemingly every month and all of them explore a different facet of his unique playing style. (source:

Anyone who wears a fried chicken bucket on his head, never appears anywhere without a mask and claims that he was raised in a chicken coop by chickens probably never planned on becoming a mainstream guitar hero. But strangely that almost happened when
