I don't understand why he isnt more popular. Will instumental music ever become popular on a mass scale the way jazz used to be (sort of)? What would it take for that to happen?

Not as long as we have lizzo

I saw Buckethead once and that guy's speed on the guitar is totally ridiculous. He isn't more popular because he has this tendency to release a lot of really same-y sounding music, but this song is really good.

having 400 albums comes of as extremely obnoxious and insincere anon, even zoomers wouldn't relate to it.

Because what kind of autist dip shit wears a god damn bucket of chicken on his fucking head

His catalogue is a huge hurdle for normal people and not all of it is good. I think he works best in a band setting that isn’t his therapy shreds and his autism can be reigned in, the stuff he’s done with Bootsy Axl Rose and everyone on enter the chicken is genuinely great, a shame Ozzy rejected him. He gave me a blue lightsaber when I went to one of his shows.

nah hes unironically cool as fuck. i love his music always look forward to pikes or whatever he puts out, hes gotta be an autist man but i love his music his too nice on guitar. him and les claypool are too talented

truth

his collabs with les are great

I respect him so much because hes humble. Hes a normal guy just putting out music all the time. It's not always perfect but to me he hits more than he misses. Maybe its just my music taste

>a shame Ozzy rejected him.

i can imagine it kek

>i doent wan no fucker who wears a fucken kfc hat on iz fucken 'ead playing on stage with me.

based ozzy

what kind of person see's him wear the bucket, calls himself buckethead, has 400 albums and actually decide to listen to listen to him let alone take him seriously.



.... me dont bully me i liked the gimmick until i listenedto his music and realized i liked it. he makes music to sleep to. its really hard for me to hate him cause i liked him for so lomng

the average grindcore band has a better chance of mainstream success



grindcore is a good genre in itself though. how can you compare buckethead to a whole genre.

its a metaphor that tries to communicate that i think that he will be always ignored despite whatever talent he has because hes such a big old wierdo he makes grindcore seem accessible



i cant stop listening to spazz i apologize

His parents named him Buckethead. He doesn't have many options

>instrumental virtuoso autism

>music style that's been stuck in the 80s without any growth

>looks incredibly stupid

There's many, many more reasons, but the biggest one is that it is not and will never be pop and normalfags don't care about virtuoso type guitar solos that go on forever.

Instrumental also won't get big again in the foreseeable future, the music industry just favours (shitty) vocals too much.
