I\'ve heard Black sabbath, Pink floyd, Jimi hendrix, a bit of led, and for some reason, michael hedges <---especially in SBTS and of course the obvious pebber brown and his other teachers, plus of course his own style.
Robots
Slunks
the soundtracks of cemeteries ......... rrrrrr ..... rrr? .... ribbet?

Oh, I\'d say definitely Dinipdidland by that guy Walt and MJ and MJ and Johnny Sokko and his flying robot and and and perhaps Eddie Hazel and and and his disembodied buddies?
I hope this heps!
Chicken
Eddie Hazel, Shawn Lane, and any one of the popular shredders, horror movie soundtracks, John Carpenter, Albert and friends
TCM, monsters, monster robots, toys, amusement parks, Walt Dismay, basketball, slaughter houses, his stomach ulcers, chickens, tall shapely women, masks, super powers, kung fu, children, Joseph Merrick, the unexplained,
What I hear the most is his love for his family... and most importantly God.
Most importantly God?, i\'m not touching that one, but there are similarities to Paul Gilbert, so he might have been an influence.
Herbie, that\'s Buckethead\'s buddy.
Underwater cemetaries and peices
At one time people thought he was Paul Gilbert
I would have to say that God is important to Buckethead because he was raised that way. I can hear it. Theres too much emotion in his work for me not to hear that influence.
I think emotion in music can be interpreted in many different ways (particualy when it\'s instrumental), but I guess I can see "God" as a good possibility.

hendrix, p funk, shawn lane, dimebag, paul gilbert, martial arts movies, horror movies, yngwie. those are just a few obvious ones. most of them are pretty obvious through his songs titles and covers he has done. and tributes he has done
yeh. re: the god thing. when im listening to TCCoH or IoLM im not thinking \'hmm... this sounds like it was influenced by god..\' im more thinking \'buckethead is psycho\'
As a joke, I was thinking about saying that Buckethead\'s music is the work of the devil, but then I thought I better not because someone will take me seriously and get all up in arms about it.
Chainsaws and sheet metal.
the way all those innards feel real squishy with some hard parts that are sharp sometimes cause you forget what you\'re feedin\' em.
(back when he was right out da coop)
I hear a lot of things in his music...
p-funk (parliment, funkadelic, p-funk all stars)
Bernie Worrell (yes part of the p-funk family).. not only are they friends but if you hear/read Bernie talk about his music he often describes it as blips and bleeps that is some form of communication, or strange language... I certainly hear that in Bucketheads sound often enough.
NATURE
various 80\'s bands,
John Zorn,
Obviously Buckethead is influenced by dark forces and likes to write songs about them as evident on his more metal records. Being raised by chickens would make anyone alittle dark.
The man behind the mask is a different person who was raised differently. I feel that person\'s morality shows through Bucketheads more soulful releases.
Want to dig up bodies? Will you help me? I like playing with peices of body? I want to play with you! Because when you kill a cow theirs not much you can do. You souldnt have said those mean things to me last night. Im gutting you alive while staring in your eyes. Yep, Im gonna wear your face as a mask and use your body as a lamp.... Its lime time!

there is no mask ;)
"You souldnt have said those mean things to me last night." :o
I am serious when I say that I have been to Bucketheadland, took me days to get out. Got the stumps to prove it. While I was there I met some of his family and their a buch of cocks and chickens... seriously leave the chickens alone. ::)
Disclaimer: Yes, im not being serious... seriously though you shouldnt have said those mean things to me last night. :D

Metal=Devil? I don\'t think so...........
Metal is not the devil
Christian metal proves that... Living Sacrifice, Believer, and The Crucified are some great bands!
If I told you, I\'d have to kill you.

Metal does not get the Devil. It can\'t equal the devil because they have a differen\'t reference, therefore: Metal != Devil.

sarcasm... in response to the "dark forces" comment. .. metal is metal.. no dark forces or torment needed, just a love for heavy music.
Metal is the Devil\'s music! It enslaves people to Satan if you listen to it backwards, turns people into mass murderers and will make you eat puppies, kitties and babies after hearing it.
Oops, did I say metal? I meant the jonas brothers and miley cyrus :P

Very good point. Last time I heard a Miley Cyrus song on the radio I ate a puppy. It couldn\'t be helped.

IMO Bucket is far too intelligent a human being to believe in a make-believe man in the sky.
wtf were you thinking posting that? Seriously?
IMO intelligence isn\'t measured by believing in God... the smartest man alive, Steven Hawking, believes in a higher being through his research, so for you to make such a statement is just showing your ignorance on the subject. I\'m sorry that you think this way.
- smart doesn\'t always equal wise
- people\'s spiritual beliefs/practices etc. are pretty much a personal matter
- the deadly sonic arts and sometimes oddly enough, jefferson starship
