Context YMMV / Buckethead

Go To

1* 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]], [[SerialEscalation and then]] there's his [=EPs=], demos tapes, unreleased singles, and 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.
2* ArchivePanic:
3** 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 nearly 300 albums can cause this to happen.
4** On average, he put out an album every 3.5 days in 2015. That would mean he was on course for 100 albums IN A YEAR.
5** As if it wasn't bad enough, on 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.
6** He slowed down in 2016 having released only 24, but this may be due to him touring for the first time in years. However, as of June 2017, he's about to exceed that number again.
7* CreepyAwesome: He's very scary looking, but also really frigging good with a guitar.
8** The entirety of Inbred Mountain is basically a [[HorrorFilms horror movie]] in music form, but it's also one of the best albums AvantGardeMetal has to offer.
9* [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Nearly all of it.
10* EpicRiff: Again, nearly all of it.
11* EpilepticTrees: One theory about who Buckethead is was that he's Slash due to their similar hairstyles and both being in Music/GunsNRoses.
12** A few other genius theories is that Buckethead is Music/SteveVai, Paul Gilbert, or Shawn Lane.
13** Some people have also speculated that he is [[https://www.youtube.com/user/justinjohnsonlive/videos Justin Johnson]] due to their similar hairstyles and body movement when performing live.
14** Notably, each and every one of these was {{Jossed}} when Buckethead finally did an out-of-character interview. He's not any other famous person in disguise, he's just him.
15* FandomRivalry: Buckethead vs. Slash. Which is odd considering Buckethead and Slash don't hate each other or even seem to consider themselves rivals.
16* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/{{Buckethead}} Now has its own page]].
17* RefrainFromAssuming: Sometimes it's best to assume the song don't even ''have'' a title. For example, a song by the name of "Blue Marble Moon" technically is not its official name because it doesn't have one.
18* SignatureSong: If you've only heard one Buckethead song, chances are it's "Jordan", which was featured in ''VideoGame/GuitarHero 2'', where it became infamous for being [[ThatOneBoss the hardest song in the series]] to date.
