POP CULTURE: In The Bucket
I don't know much about "Buckethead," but suppose you could have predicted that his collaboration with Guns n' Roses would not go entirely smoothly. Gawker has an amusing press release in which Axl Rose vents.
There have been rumors that Buckethead is actually Les Claypool of Primus. Who knows?
I saw Buckethead live a couple of years ago - and have two of his CDs - and all I can say is that the man has more talent than Axl could ever dream of.
And I don't believe for a second that this is Buckethead's fault.
I blame Bush.
Or maybe Buckethead has been kidnapped by PETA for wearing that KFC bucket on his head.
In any case, bring back Slash!
