Incredibly versatile and excellent guitarist, he plays a highly
original fusion, and you never get the same thing by him twice.
Does anybody here like him? or think he should be added to the archives
like me? (By the way, I'm so certain that he's prog that I'm not even going to post this thread in Non-Prog) |

Exceptional player. One of my favourite guitarists. His best efforts,
in my opinion, are Colma Electric Tears and my favourite, Population
Override. I listened to his latest album (Cuckoo Clocks from Hell) and
I was a little disspointed. Never the less he is capable of playing
extremely fast technical licks and very soleful moving solos. He even
combines the two on some songs. For anyone interested here's a link to
his website where you'll find a free internet only download, Nottingham

| His work with Primus also deserves some attention. |

His work with Primus also doesn't exist. Well, he's played with them live on occasion, for a song or two. |

Colma is very good Dallas. Add Primus and Buckethead now! Also, things like Giant Robot, Oysterhead, Frog Brigade, C2B3, Jonas Hellborg/Buckethead, Arcana, hell, all of the Buckethead and Les projects, they're ALL prog and gravely overlooked here. Especially Praxis, Praxis has to be here. |

If you dig Buckethead, you might want to check out Bumblefoot (Ron Thal), too ... but you probably already know him. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

| Buckethead, interesting shreader and fusionist, with a broad range of musical outputs; e.g. Bill Laswell's Praxis (as opposed to Primus, unless you mean Colonel Claypools Buck Of Bernie Brains - which could be called "Primus meets Praxis"), solo work from the eclectic Colma to the odd metally thumpers. However, Octave Of The Holy Innocents with Hellborg and Shrieve, is way out ahead for me, as one of the great jazz rock fusion albums of the 90's, which was reissued, recently remastered/remixed by the Bardo label . |

Ron Thal - Hermit, Bumblefoot - 9.11 and Bumblefoot - Hands are quite amazing albums. They contain a lot of progressive elements. But Thal has too broad a range to be considered a prog artist. He's truly inventive on the guitar, and developed a lot of unique styles - on the fretless guitar, or using special "tools".Posted By: TheProgtologist

Buckethead is amazing. Every album is something different, and he's always doing new things that for the most part havent been done before. And it's all done with a silly humor that makes it that much more enjoyable. hooray for buckethead! when I saw Primus a few years ago, he came out on stage at one point and did a blistering solo by himself, then came out later and started nunchucking onstage. what a madman. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

As luck had it, it received a "red cross parcel" of musical goodies from the USA, when I got home last night. This included the remixed Hellborg Buckethead, Shrieve Octave Of The Holy Innocents (Bardoo Records). Half the album is changed significantly and the rest has some obvious minor changes, but I haven't made my mind up for better or for worse? It is good piece of acosutic jazz rock fusion, in places considerably remixed with loops, samples etc. included, plus added flute, voice and I guess bowed double bass. |

Excellent guitarist. One of the few innovative guitarists left. Colma is soothing and delicate. Electric Tears has powerful dreamy ambient atmospheres. Population Override is awesome soulful blues prog-rock. Cuckoo Clocks From Hell makes Zappa look like Lou Reed.
