Buckethead's Tribute to MJ
2009-07-16 by Tyler Munro EMERITUS | 45 Replies | 5002 Views |
Last Friday guitar-virtuoso (and fried chicken container aficionado) Buckethead posted "The Landing Beacon", a song he wrote and recorded as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson.
The song, which is also apparently known as "The Homing Beacon: A Song for Michael Jackson" (as per a drawing on the guitarist's website), can be heard at either of the links below:

One of the only Buckethead songs I've enjoyed from front to back. Sorry this is a few days late: I haven't been around and didn't see it posted.

This is super good.
|
| |
it sure is
|
| |
No really.
|
| |
Amazing. I especially like the ending part (5:49-6:24)
|
| |
First paragraph made me lol. this should be good. I loved his guitar work on Chinese Democracy
|
| |
It is very pretty
|
| |
owns owns owns
|
| |
This is seriously really good. Like, surprisingly good.
|
| |
That was beautiful
I was expecting some pseudo shredding song.
|
| |
if it was another virtuosos, then prolly. buckethead may be a shredhead, but he still knows his limits like a smart guitarist should
|
| |
He seems a little more intelligent than his peers.
|
| |
i agree. i guess "never judge a book by its cover" applies here.
|
| |
Agreement.
|
| |
that was really really good
|
| |
Yeah I've had this for a week or so, thought about posting the news but assumed everyone knew about it.
Like Coke said, it's one of the only Buckethead songs I can enjoy from start to finish; really sombre and beautiful.
|
| |
As boring as the entire Colma cd.
|
| |
If you think Colma is boring, u don't hav a soul.
|
| |
yeah either that or he thinks it's boring
|
| |
I just remembered I don't like joshisnumber3.
Anywho, this song is really good.
|
| |
I'm glad something good has come from Michael's death. He'd probably like this song.
|
| |
I like KFCs chips much more than McDonalds chips.
|
| |
this is very nice...reminds me of the whole electric tears album

Hey, I'm all for people who enjoy an album with overly sugary production, an album that is so predictable that before a song starts, you can already predict that it has the same horrible rhythm section as the rest of the cd (consisting of the same drum beats for every song and snooze fest of bass lines.) But all of that doesn't matter because some how this is "ambient" and edgy to listen to because it's like, THE OPPOSITE of what he usually does, which is also edgy because he like, wears a mask!
A 3/5 for concept, 1/5 for execution.

Who wants to tab it out
|
| |
gotta agree with joshisnumber3 here.
was boring tbh
|
| |
Who wants to tab it out
S'already been done, but it's pretty easy to work out by ear anyway.
|
| |
because every listens to buckethead for the mass variety of computerized drumbeats
You're fucking retarded
|
| |
Because that's what I said. Simply put, below average drum and bass playing coupled with above average guitar playing results in a below average product.
|
| |
A song doesn't have to be technical to be good. So stop being a troll and leave.
|
| |
I'm getting tired of all the Michael Jackson news.
It's getting gay.
|
| |
wasnt too bad
|
| |

Jesus Christ, you Buckethead fans are as dim as his music is.
|
| |
Seriously though, stop trolling. And for the record, I hate Buckethead.
|
| |
who's that in yo avatar, coke?
she's kewt.
|

"Because that's what I said. Simply put, below average drum and bass playing coupled with above average guitar playing results in a below average product."
It's funny because there isn't any drum or bass playing in his Michael Jackson tribute.
|
| |
Not his best, but a great song once it picked up from the beginning.
|
| |
NO U
|
| |
I enjoyed it. Joshisnumber3 stop being a massive noob there isn't even any drumming in this anyways. and the computerized drumming is usually great. have you listened to cuckoo clocks of hell or any of in search of the?
|
| |
Was excellent.
|
| |
Nice. soothing.
|
| |
Buckethead is the best, a real person that expresses his feelings through his music, truly an amazing gift from above.
