a Crimsonesque feel to it, but with Pharoah Sanders
saxaphone it has an unbelievably sublime, spiritual ambience.

As it happens, KC cover a Pharoah Sanders track on the KCCC issue Live At Summit Studios, Denver.
 
 
BTW One Buckethead album up at least in PA, under Jonas Hellborg's name : Octave Of the Holy Innocents - one of the best jazz rock fusion albums of the 90's IMHO.
 
Bill Laswell's name comes a number of times associated with Buckethead - e.g. check out the v difficult to define music of   Praxis.
 
I got into mr. head courstesy of Les Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains.  It turned out I already had him in my collection on Bill Laswell's Divination Ambient Dub Volume 1. 
I've not only got the Arcana album, it's excellent, and I also work at a small firm called Arcana. LOL
He's already got one foot at least on this site - Octave of the Holy Innocents with Hellborg and Shrieve another excellent album as already mentioned^.

I absolutely love Buckethead too, and can even play some of his stuff on guitar, but IMO, he wouldn't fit in as prog and even Prog-Related might be a stretch.

He played with Axel Rose. And no one know how old that KFC bucket is, and why he did not share the fried chicken with anyone.
Reason enough.

MOST Definitely, Buckethead should be on PA. No questions about it.
 
If we have the likes of Radiohead and similar artists on PA, whom in my opinion are borderline progressive, how can Buckethead not be part of the PA family?!
 
Buckethead embodies the spirit of prog. He creates music that crosses various progressive genres: prog metal, eclectic prog, experimental, heavy prog, jazz-rock fusion, tech/extreme metal, avant-prog and I may have missed a sub-genre or two.
 
He posesses virtuosity in spades and can not only shred but plays with much taste and soul on much of his material. His compositions are fresh and free of categorization. Is that not the spiriti of prog?
 
So what if he played with G-n-R!  That should have NO bearing on his solo output.
 
I say make him part of the PA family and do it soon! MANY prog fans will be greatful to discover such a unique and progressive artist.

As far as the solo albums go, I'd start with Monsters & Robots.

Harper's Index reports the following (I am not making this up):
Rank of "god" and "satan" among the top Google searches beginning with "who is" 1,10
Rank of "buckethead" 6.
I rest my case. Tongue

I think Buckethead should be on this site. He is a multi-Instrumentalist (which is good on a prog resume), he's done many prog-like styles (e.g. Jazz Fusion, avant-garde metal) and from listening to a lot of his music (his discography is huge, might I add, so listening to a fraction of it is still a lot of material) I would definitely say that Buckethead should be included on the site.

Would you like some Bailey's?

He was already rejected for inclusion, so not sure why this is still going.
