![]() ![]() I also recently downloaded his newest album(A Real Diamond in the Rough), which I plan on buying. So I found a decent torrent that had a nice chunk of his discog, and went ahead and dove in.īucket albums I already owned(purchased):Īlbums I had previously heard but either deleted or lost on old comp: Last night I decided how insane that was considering I'll only live once and why not dive into a bunch of albums I've never heard, and also the fact most of the people who claim to be anti download have probably downloaded more of his material than I ever will. I've always supported him, and have also towed the party line of not downloading anything since that has always seemed to be the stance of his hardcore fanbase. Started this thread because I finally broke down and decided to download a decent chunk of his discography I hadn't heard yet. This isn't a Bucket forum where we're gonna lynch you if you downloaded some obscure record. Doesn't matter whether you bought it or just downloaded it. Regardless, with much of the emotion left out of the equation for me, ‘Soothsayer (Dedicated To Aunt Suzie)’ remains one of the most mesmerising songs I’ve ever heard, and one of the most technically amazing guitar tracks ever written.Just curious how much of his extremely massive discography his fans here own. While I obviously cannot relate precisely to the inspiration behind this song, I can understand the sentiment that goes along with dedicating a song to someone, and can only image how emotional it must have been. Sadly, Buckethead’s aunt Suzie passed away the following year, with the guitarist composing the track ‘ Sail On Soothsayer (In Memory Of Aunt Susie 1932-2007)‘ for his Decoding The Tomb Of Bansheebot album. ![]() Described as the woman who gifted him his first guitar, the track is almost equal parts a tribute to this woman, and a way for him to showcase his stunning abilities as one of the most amazing guitarists alive today. After hearing it a couple of times, it became a song that I couldn’t ignore, it’s melodic and technical proficiency was absolutely mesmerising to a guitarist like myself, and I couldn’t help but wonder what possessed him to be able to write such a stunning piece of music like this.Īs I soon discovered, like how Colma was written for his sick mother, ‘Soothsayer’ was written for his sick aunt Suzie. While I listened to tracks like this, I much preferred the more acoustic or ambient works of albums such as Electric Tears or Colma.Įventually, ‘Soothsayer’ became one of those tracks that I couldn’t resist. While I went and bought copies of Colma, Kaleidoscalp, and the collaborative effort, Enter The Chicken, I felt as though he was a musician who needed to stay something of a secret, lest his brilliance be corrupted by the masses.Īs a result, I wasn’t exactly a fan of albums such as 2006’s Crime Slunk Scene, which saw tracks like ‘Soothsayer (Dedicated To Aunt Suzie)’ become frequent favourites among fans on online communities. While I loved his early work, his more polished tunes from the turn of the millennium really began to resonate with me. At this point in time, his discography was manageable, with only 18 albums to his name (as of November 2018, he’s now got 306 albums), and I was able to jump in and experience everything. ![]() However, it was in late 2006 when his song ‘Jordan’ came my way thanks to Guitar Hero II.Īn immensely fast track, ‘ Jordan‘ was like nothing I’d ever heard before, and I needed to know more about this stunning musician. Quite possibly, it was in relation to his rather short stint as a guitarist for Guns N’ Roses that ended rather abruptly. I had heard of Buckethead in passing somewhere around 2005 or so. ![]()
