Yeah, he has like 500 solo albums out.....look here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckethead
Im not a GnR or a Buckethead fan really but I stumbled across his wiki page....damn thats a lot of albums. Anybody actually listened to all that shit? How can Buckethead or anyone remain vital and creative when theyve put out 32 solo albums??
To be fair, I havent listened to any of it so maybe i'm missing out. Just thought it was a massive amount of material for a solo artist to put out.

I do know that a lot of jazz musicians put out albums pretty quickly. One a year was not unheard of. You are right though the manis prolific. I wonder if it is all good though...... :?

That's not a bash on his stuff, he's a talented guy... but I don't think he's an everyday kind of flavor.

oooooook.
If you don't believe he is still creative, listen for yourself. I can tell you with 100% conviction that he still is - he just released a straight forward Banjo album for christs sake. Vital is very subjective. He's never been mainstream so Im not sure what you really mean . . .

Padmasana is a FANTASTIC song. Soothsayer off of Crime Slunk Scene is IMHO one of the finest guitar instrumentals I have ever heard.

anyone who has seen him live...does he have a backing band? and how is he?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.
No backing band, it's just him on stage. There are other instruments that are just played over the PA, mostly just drums, but nobody else is on stage.

A lot of his studio work uses drum tracks, so that's what he uses live. There are bass lines in some of his songs, but he normally records those for the studio albums as well so if they play those live what you are hearing is probably a recording of him.
