History YMMV / Buckethead

** In average, he outputted about an album every 3.5 days in 2015. That would mean he was on course for 100 albums IN A YEAR.

* ArchiveBinge: If you really want to listen to all of his songs, you have to start with all, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckethead_discography#Solo this]] and then [[SerialEscalation more to come]], of his solo albums, but then there's his [=EPS=], demos tapes, unrealesed singles, live only songs. Plus all of his collaborations he's done with other artists: such as Praxis, [[Music/SystemOfADown Serj Tankian]], Music/MikePatton, [[Music/GeorgeClinton Parliament-Funkadelic]], Deli Creeps, Travis Dickerson, Bill Laswell, Giant Robot, Music/IggyPop, Science Faxation, Dj Disk, Bill Moseley, Cornbugs, and Music/{{Primus}}. By the time this man is dead, he will have written and composed nine-billion songs.

%%* CrazyAwesome:

** As if it wasn't bad enough, in October 1, 2015 he started a Halloween countdown by releasing '''one album a day'''. Since he had released 75 albums by the end of September, he definitely would surpass over 100 albums at the end of that year. And he did, he ended up releasing the [[SarcasmMode small number]] of 118 albums in 2015 alone.

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

** Unless you have seventy million hours of free time, listening to everything he made will be a challenge; due to a huge amount of output over the last couple of years, his over 100 albums can cause this to happen.

** As if it wasn't bad enough, in October 1, 2015 he started a Halloween countdown by releasing '''one album a day'''. Since he had released 75 albums by the end of September, he's going over 100 albums this year for sure.
** Seems to have slowed down in 2016 witrh a mere 15 released so far, but this may be due to him touring for the first time in years.

* MagnumOpus: Given the nature of his experimentation on all sorts of records, this can vary heavily from person to person, but the records that stick out in his discography as being highly-regarded include "Population Override", "Electric Tears", "Crime Slunk Scene" and "The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock".

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

* NightmareFuel: The entire Inbred Mountain album. Despite the [[BlackComedy morbidly funny name]] the whole album is chaotic with [[HellIsThatNoise creepy riffs and sounds.]]
** A lot of the work he's put out under the alias Death Cube K, special mention goes to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNdQfqy4b70 "Dark Hood"]] which is twelve minutes of nightmare inducing creepiness.
** His semi-acapella talkbox cover of "[[WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory Pure Imagination]]."

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

* TearJerker: Many, many, ''many'', notably almost every track on ''Electric Tears'', ''Population Override'', ''Colma'', and ''A Real Diamond In The Rough''. However, the absolute crowner would have to be [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSxPDAUbiQA "I Love My Parents"]].
** BonusPoints as they all manage to be {{tear jerker}}s with [[{{Instrumentals}} no lyrics.]]

** A few other genius theories is that Slash is Music/SteveVai, Paul Gilbert, or Shawn Lane.

* EpilepticTrees: One theory about who Buckethead is was that he's Slash due to their similar hairstyles and both being in GunsNRoses.
