It has no guitar solo, just a guitar melody playing the melody line of the chorus

that IS a guitar solo,

Nice review, I'm wondering if I should make one

it's a type of solo. there are more types of solos than shred and improvisation.

Don't argue.

and if Icecab cared what you thought, that post would have value, sadly the only thing more worthless than Icecab is taking an argument with him seriously.

How is there no value in it?

icecab21 wrote:Why even make a review if you don't care about mistakes or feedback?

rebel, WTF are you talking about? my argument was correct. how is there no value in it?

Does anything HAVE to make sense in this forum anymore?

well, you sure don't make sense so you contribute to that

ohohohoho, you're trying to be funny again, aren't.

Nope, you still just sound wrong.

Oh man, hahdaasdh. You guys are funny.

Rebel, will be great to read your buckethead bible review site. That will help pick out which albums to pick up. Be sure to include any album he plays a note on.

ICECAR, when is the last time you played a note on an album?

have plenty of unreleased music.

was not joking about buckethead. it would be interesting for rebel to review all those albums that buckethead has contributed to.

You state something as 100% fact when it isn't.

SOLO - MILLO de ternera.

what did he call it then?

I'm not sure I'd call it a "regular solo" (shred or obvious improvisation)

if it's not a regular solo, then it's a irregular solo. why not just say "I'm not sure I'd call it a solo" if he did not think it was a solo? nonetheless, it's a lead instrument playing a variation of the main vocal theme with unobtrusive accompaniment. jen's did not call it a regular solo, but he also did not call it a lack of a solo. if that's more correct, ok.

Rebel wrote: Except Buckethead doesn't release bad albums.

Rebel wrote: I'd rather hear someone who can master any genre they set to, than just being very good at one.

Rebel wrote: Buckethead's prolificness, versatility and technical prowess are unmatched by any living guitarist.
your ignorance is so pervasive it hurts to read.

Rebel wrote: Tolkki's guitar playing is an absolute joke compared to BH's

Rebel wrote: Buckethead is the star of the album, without him it would have been the huge failure everyone expected.
People still set out to trash it, it was too hyped, but Buckethead is so awesome, there was nothing to be done for it.

Rebel wrote: you're letting various prejudices like "Instrumental", or "Releases a lot of music", instead of really exploring the music.

Rebel wrote: Your opinion is of course, wrong

Rebel wrote: Anything Buckethead plays guitar on is flipping cool

Rebel wrote: spending more time bickering on youtube comment threads than listening to music

Rebel wrote: Part of what makes him so incredible is his limitless creativity, he can improvise an entire album's worth of material, and it will sound incredible because he's just that good.

Rebel wrote: Not necessarily art, talent.
I do think Buckethead is an incredibly artistic guitarist, but that's subjective, what I'm arguing is that he is the most TALENTED guitarist to ever walk the face of the earth.

Rebel wrote: I think most people don't consider Buckethead the greatest electric guitar player to ever live, and that means he's underrated...

Rebel wrote: He can play any of those styles with the same precision and feel as the masters of that specific genre. He is the master of anything he tries to do.

Rebel wrote: Ignorance is the only excuse for thinking Slash could even come close to the guitar nirvana that is Buckethead.

Rebel wrote: Without Buckethead, I'd def. choose Strato, but, it'd be hard to pass up ANY opportunity to see The Greatest Guitarist In Music History perform

Rebel wrote: Buckethead is the most talented human being to ever pick up an electric guitar.

You spent all that time compiling quotes, and you're still wrong. ISN'T THE INTERNET FUN?!?!?!?!?

what is wrong with my argument? it's a solo by definition.

here is the definition of a solo
so·lo (sl)
n. pl. so·los
1. Music A composition or passage for an individual voice or instrument, with or without accompaniment.

You're still taking this seriously?
Buckethead rocks, deal with it.

I'm going to try and review Funnel Weaver, never listened to it all through, because it's a bit of an odd setup, but we'll see what happens.

The day it will, will be a sad day!

The only thing ridiculous here is going back and finding all those fucking quotes. What if I said I like to listen to Prince solos in daisy dukes while waxing my dads corvette? What if I said I like to deliver pizzas to my ex-girlfriends while listening to george michael solos? What if I said your pumpkin avatar sucks? What if I said I will go very far to claim how amazing jesus christ solos on guitar while I make a milkshake?
