BUCKETHEAD - YOUNG BUCKETHEAD VOL. 1

Buckethead
This DVD, set for a December 11, 2007 release, begins with the Deli Creeps' complete concert on 11/24/90 at the Cactus Club in San Francisco. The lineup is Maximum Bob, Pinch Face, Tony Black, and Buckethead, who delivers a stunning performance. The next sequence captures the band's soundcheck earlier that day, with lots of great guitar riffing and a powerful Maximum Bob performance. On the weirder side, "Buckethead in the Basement" presents Buck up close in a translucent mask, playing cinematic keyboard synth accompaniment to a buddy's insane ravings. This completely unrehearsed footage captures Buckethead's improvisational genius on keyboard, including some great "Giant Robot" passages. "Buckethead's Backyard Solo" presents the full 14-minute guitar blitz (the Guitar World footage shows only a portion). Buckethead goes from shredding to bass-string-popping to "Hog Bitch Stomp" to horror movie themes, original shards, and a sublime "I Love My Parents." This truly has to be seen to be believed.

Watch a sneak peek HERE.


BUCKETHEAD - YOUNG BUCKETHEAD VOL. 2

This DVD, also set for a December 11, 2007 release, starts with the Deli Creeps' complete 4/3/91 concert at the Kennel Club in San Francisco. The lineup is Maximum Bob, Pinch Face, Tony Black, and Buckethead, who delivers a spectacular performance with the camera just a few feet away. The next segment captures the band's legendary San Francisco debut, at the I-Beam on 9/1/90, with Buck, Maximum Bob, Pinch Face, and bassist Saucy Patches pull out all the stops. Seldom has Buckethead, who plays shirtless, been so animated in his playing. The set includes "Dream Girl" and "Hog Bitch Stomp." Next up is a hysterical backstage sequence later that night. In "Buckethead in the Park," the masked speaks -- about growing up in a chicken coop, his heroes and inspirations, favorite methods of mayhem, and even does the Jowls speech. Honest.

Watch a sneak peek HERE.

I surprised jambase has not said anything about the 19 albums that he has released this year.Hopefully he'll put the bucket back on next and start touring.Oh and Science Faction should be coming out soon, its bucket,bootsy,brain, and and another fellow named greg hampton.

Maybe I am missing something but I bought these dvd's about two years ago. I guess this is just in reference to it being released mainstream in stores or something because you could purchase them online for a very long time now. This story could've been written literally years ago. I agree about the lack of articles mentioning all of his releases this year. Especially seeing as he has put out personally burned handwritten cds with exclusive artwork that is individually done by B's hand for each. A 13 cd set. Another Deathcube K album(also hand burnt and signed).

It's been out for a while on eBay and the youngbuckethead.com site.

What the article is neglecting to mention is that the DVDs are going to be MADE AVAILABLE *IN STORES* on Dec. 11.
