Back when, when I was holed up in Terre Haute, Indiana for a month or so, I was rooming with a fellow whilst attending some classes on graphic design and such. This was about 1990 and he was very much into three musicians I had never heard of: Joe Satirani, Yngwie Malmsteen, and the band, Jane’s Addiction. One righteous mixtape and a year later, I was dreaming of what Jane says<\/a>, gypsy-klezmer-rock mashups, and macking it with that girl I met in Model U.N. It was also in 1991 that teenage Brian Carrol<\/a> (later to be known as Buckethead) moved into the basement of Guitar Player Magazine’s editor, Jas Obrecht, and thus began the artist’s passage from strength to greater strength: huzzah! Carrol was brought to the attention of avant-improvisers, collaborators and producers Bill Laswell and John Zorn (which is how I heard of him). Just as I was beginning to learn about new ambient through the likes of Laswell’s Axiom releases, astralwerks, Silent\/Flask, and the FAX label, word of Buckethead was spreading across the ambient\/noise genre through the metal community. Appearing as subliminal blips on Space Ghost Coast to Coast also helped, but I wasn’t entirely aware of Buckethead until my computer was chronically ill recently and I was listening to KLSU <\/a> 91.1 Baton Rouge full time in stead of my inaccessible musics. It was well worth the break for I heard Buckethead’s rawk ballad, “Nottingham Lace<\/a>” released on his 2005 album Enter the Chicken<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This is about the most heavy metal guitar I’ve heard in a long time that I’ve been willing to put up with. Something about this track is just putting me under a spell. Part of it is that Buckethead changes focus and his direction so often. I don’t know why I like it so much. I lost interest in Joe Satriani pretty quickly, but maybe this means I should revisit him. What’s happening to my ears?! Buckethead has attested that Satriani and Malmsteen were huge influences on him, so perhaps my ears have found a hook on patterns I hadn’t heard in the last half of my waking life. Click on the link above (or on the picture below) to hear “Nottingham Lace”… I think, if you can get past the bluesey electirc guitar riffs (?) at the beginning, you’ll hear what I’m talking about, and if you do, let me know what you think.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’d also appreciate any further Buckethead related suggestions. Danke sh\u00f6en!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
