An obnoxious guitarist who can play really fast. Since people stopped noticing guitarists who can fingertap like madmen in 1990, Buckethead decided he needed a gimmick, so he put a bucket on his head (lol!). His music is easy to identify. It usually sounds like a constant blur of notes that makes you feel slightly uncomfortable. Though a technically sound... an AMAZINGLY technically sound guitarist, Buckethead doesn't understand that sometimes playing too fast sounds like garbage. I mean, if you want to drive somewhere and get to a point in a car driving 300 miles an hour, you can try. But you're probly gonna hit some trees and people along the way.
Brian "Buckethead" Carrol is an asshole. If you want to hear someone play fast and have a musical point, grab a Primus record and try to ignore Les for a second so you can notice what Ler is doing.

Buckethead, or Brian Carroll, is one of my favorite guitar players. GuitarOne named him 8th fastest guitar player in the world. He has a unique sound when he plays, and usually his playing is accomodated by still robot/mannequin style movements, such as robot twitching. He is also known for being able to make two sounds come out of a guitar at once. he has played in such bands as The Deli Creeps, Giant Robot, and Guns and Roses. His main hit was at ozzfest in 1999.
He got his alias of buckhet one day while eating fried chicken. he chooses to be creepy. He also enjoys robot style breakdancing and playing with his nunchukus. He can usually combine guitar/robot/nunchuckus into his performance all at once.

Guitarist that is famous for using (and perhaps inventing) 10 finger tapping, even utilizing his thumbs. He wears a KFC bucket on his head and Michael Myers mask covering his face.
I don't care what "GuitarOne" says, I guarantee that Buckethead can tap more notes per second than someone like Yngwie can sweep pick.

The other definitions are retarded. Buckethead's true name isn't what MTV says it is. MTV is to music as KFC is to chicken. Buckethead is a very talented man, and his origins remain unkown. You may enjoy his music or not, it is very unique. He has been known to play with bands such as Deli Creeps and Praxis. He has played with Guns 'N Roses to make some money, and continues to do with his own projects, which is very respectible. I hope the idiot who says he's a bass player goes to hell for being so stupid.
