Folks Just Call Him Buckethead

He has been discussed here and there, so I thought a dedicated thread was in order.

Over the last year or so I have really grown to love what this guys does.
I picked up Colma about a month ago and I can't stop listening. Giant Robot is also one of my favorites.

What is everyone listening to the most? Considering how much there is available.

I really like the Thanatopsis stuff with Axiology being the best IMO, Population Override too is in a similar vein. Colma is awesome, even my Mom likes it. Elephant Man's Alarm Clock has a good mix of styles & tunes, didn't really dig on Cuckoo Clocks From Hell, too hardcore & thrashy, not musical enough for my taste. But what I listen to most is a bootleg I downloaded of a show I went to at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma back in 2003 I think. That and the first Deli Creeps Demo Tape, Maximum Bob in the AM, better than coffee!

I went looking for this a while back, and it was hard to find at a decent price, so I passed. I heard it was pretty sick.

I'm gonna look again.

Guitar Hero 2, Jordan on Expert mode. I can't come close to playing that song on GH2, but that's what got me into buckethead =)
