Eight Gigs: Buckethead

Weird and iconic guitarist Buckethead has played the full gamut of music; his discography is so extensive that knowing where to delve into it can be daunting. He has played with so many different musicians (Bootsy Collins and Iggy Pop, to name a few) and contributed to so many albums, soundtracks and commercials, that one might wonder if Buckethead is, in fact, the Many-Faced God—all guitarists, all musicians. This would explain the white mask hiding the blank slate that is the faceless man. As for the bucket on his head, well, he’s probably powerless without it. 1417 R Street, www.bucketheadland.com.
