Based on what Lars had seen, he theorized that the tour wouldn’t last much longer due to Axl’s inability to restrain Buckethead or Carroll’s long-time collaborator, drummer Brian “ Brain” Mantia, to his satisfaction.
Of course, his prediction was right yet, Buckethead seems to still be primarily associated with the corn-rowed has-been. I may be wrong in my assumptions but, I doubt that there are really too many consistent fans of Buckethead’s music. His discography spans over 100 different albums in varying genres, including classic metal, electronic, funk, ambient, dub, jazz, and more. This means that, even if you have heard multiple projects that the musician has been featured on, you still may not have a complete grasp of what he is capable of or that you have had much more than a glimpse of the overall scope of Carroll as an artist.
The first time that I had an opportunity to see Buckethead live was on Jduring the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.
