Anyone else here into Buckethead?

I've always followed him through the years, not hardcore fanboy or anything, just a casual fan but I've been working my way through the over 100 albums he's released in the past 2 years and some of it is really awesome. Been on a bit of a kick lately. I know his aesthetic turns a lot of people off but I think it's cool.

I haven't listened to Praxis too much. I gotta change that because the 3 B's...Brain, Buckethead, Bootsy. 'Nuff said.

I've been a big fan since I saw him with Primus at an OZFEST in the 90's. I love messing with people by playing them something off of Cuckoo Clocks of Hell and then have them hear his super chill emotional stuff like Colma. He has way more depth than his weird exploitation film exterior.

It's been years since I checked for d00d but he's a living legend.
This clip is prob still my fav, 10 years later

Yeah Up on the Sun is a great record all around, and Buckethead is no exception.
Oh.
Whoops.

I love that he plays wicked ripping metal stuff and then his mellow depressing albums and everything in between. Both Praxis things posted above are incredible.

Best Praxis album: Sacrifist
Second best: Metatron
Cold Rolled/Iron Dub is one of the dopest tracks by any band in any genre

Can't argue with that.
Overall I think the first album is the strongest and most consistent. There's good shit here and there on most of their albums though.
(Un-Buckethead related, but in a somewhat similar vein) I like this kinda stuff too:

Electric Tears seriously influenced my playing

He's probably put out over 200 albums since you last listened to him so you have no shortage of material to investigate!

He's one of the sickest drummers.

I tried to reply to multiple quotes in one post. I clearly failed.
