Fanalo Alaux often times confused with Buckethead, (see images later in this post) study deeply these videos and see if there are any likenesses... I think not... but may be I am wrong?

Paul Gilbert knows who Brian Carroll is in an interview he was asked about Buckethead:

Paul Gilbert: “That was great. He was a great student. He was really young. Actually, we were both really young. I think I was about eighteen. …He was about fifteen at the time. Of course if your fifteen, you can’t drive, so his Mom used to bring him down to the lessons. He was super fast even then and he wasn’t wearing a bucket. He was just a normal kid. I saw him in an airport a couple of years ago. He had super long hair so I didn’t recognize him at first. I just figured it was another musician who wants to say hello. As he got closer, I realized he was the kid I used to teach that turned into Buckethead. He was super cool. It was nice to see him.”

Keep those photos coming!

Here's a new video "From the young buckethead dvd. Buy it after watching. If you do not buy it a panda dies."

Pebber Brown's Influence on Buckethead !


Buckethead dancing in a London's bar - but with mask


Is this one correct...

I noticed buckethead's face on the cover of electric tears. but the pic was negative ( I hardly noticed it ) so I filmed the cover on nigative mode. & the face showed up!!!
it's a bit CREEPY !

BUCKETHEAD's real face!!


These are likely to be incorrect:

Good grief it is amazing what some of you will believe. First of all Brian Carroll never played in a band in Canada. 2nd this is not the American Band Class-X that was formed in 1986 and featured Brian Caroll as my lead guitarist in 87 and 88. 3rd I had a Mike in the band but his name was not ClassXMike it was Michael Hakopian now known as Pinchface. And lastly ClassXMike should be chiming in here letting you all know that this band NEVER included Buckethead.

Not Buckethead?

Your present comes in May when I will hopefully release "The Axis of All Things"! I've had a fantastic year personally and professionally and a lot of these experiences have manifested themselves in the music I've created since March when this album's writing process began.

I hope that your Christmas is full of happiness and that 2009 brings you all that you dream of. God Bless and thank you for your amazing support!

News:

A DVD to be added to the competition.



Owen Edwards says:

I think that the way forward maybe is that whatever track is victorious in the final heat should be the one played live on stage.

That way anyone flagrantly doing a rip off will be found out way in advance and dealt with!

I personally don't care if it's a cover or rip off in the early heats, as these are designed to find the great players, but the for the final on-line heat it should be something original or improvisation based.

And whatever tracks get through should be the ones that are played live. Something last year we didn't insist upon - but this year we will.

One crucial reason is that we cannot have flagrant plagarism for the final as that will be produced as a DVD and sold throughout the world.
