Buckethead
Buckethead (born Brian Carroll in 1969), is an American guitarist and composer. He is
known for wearing a white plastic mask and a KFC bucket on his head. He is a prolific composer, having released 36 solo albums and performed on over 50 more. His music spans a wide variety of genres including thrash metal, funk, electronica, jazz and avant-garde music.
Although a capable multi-instrumentalist (playing bass guitar, banjo,[1] and piano), Buckethead is best known for his electric guitar playing, characterized by diverse playing styles spanning thrash guitar, fingerpicking, and slap guitar. Guitar One voted him number 8 on a list of the “Top 10 Greatest Guitar Shredders of All Time”.[2]
Although Buckethead now works primarily as a solo artist touring the United States with a trio, he has had a wide variety of high profile collaborations with such artists as Les Claypool, Tony Williams, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Serj Tankian, Guns N’ Roses, Saul Williams, Mike Patton, Viggo Mortensen and with Bill Laswell on Praxis.
