* AudienceAlienatingPremise: A creepy guy with a bucket on his head plays guitar. Despite that, Buckethead is by far one of the most popular guitarist of this generation.

* FandomRivalry: Buckethead vs. Slash. Which is odd considering Buckethead and Slash don't really hate each other.

** CreepyAwesome: He's very scary looking, but also really frigging good with a guitar.

** A few other genius theories is that slash is SteveVai or Paul Gilbert.

* FandomRivalry: Buckethead vs. Slash

* ArchiveBinge: He has 32 main albums, to begin with.
* CrazyAwesome

** Not anymore.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: All of it.

* ThatOneBoss: Before {{DragonForce}} was featured in GuitarHero, it was "Jordan," which was even mentioned in SouthPark. In fact, there might be some people who can handle "Through the Fire and Flames" but not "Jordan."

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Just look at his music videos! Though you would kind of expect this from a horror movie fan.
* NightmareFuel: A lot of his tracks, even more so as ''[[SignificantAnagram Death Cube K]]''.
** To name a few, "Spokes for the Wheel of Torment", "Last Ride of the Bozomobile", and "Bedlam's Bluff".

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: ''Colma''. All of it. Especially when you find out that the album was recorded for Buckethead's mother as she was ill with colon cancer and he wanted to make an album she would enjoy listening to while recovering.
** Recently, Buckethead has released the song, "The Homing Beacon," as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson. The song perfectly embodies Michael's life, going from sweet and innocent in the beginning, to fast and turbulent at the end, all ending in a rather untimely and unexpected way. This Troper gets the warm fuzzies whenever he hears it.
** "I Love My Parents" from his album ''Giant Robot''. The title says it all.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: When he was auditioned and accepted by Music/OzzyOsbourne on the condition of him getting rid of the bucket. The next time he met with Ozzy, he came wearing a green alien thing on his head instead. He then proceeded to play mindgames with Ozzy. That's right, he had the balls to play mind games with ''Ozzy Osbourne.''
** ...how the hell does that work?
** I would imagine by speaking coherently. It confuses Ozzy greatly.
** Ozzy's recounting of what happened:
-->'''Ozzy Osbourne:''' ''I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me but only if he got rid of the fucking bucket. So I came back a bit later and he's wearing this green fucking Martian's-hat thing. I said, 'Look, just be yourself!' He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother.' So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!' I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing fucking mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up?' [Laughs] Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a motherfucker!''.
