good advertising, leave all with a question on their mind and they will become intrigued by it and then all wait waht it is

i hope its a Buckethead album or something like that

when will there be any new about this?

I\'m intrigued as well, what is Yan Kàn Travis? Whatever it is, this is some great marketing. Get the people scratching their heads before revealing what it is.

Can\'t you at least give us a hint Travis? It\'s something that has got to do with music, right? Are you involved, or Buckethead? Tell us, please.  ;D

right now on tk there are a few posibilities:

1- a Tour CD (coclusion based on the first part of his tour, he had some weeks off from time to time)

2- an album from another artists that isnt Buckethead (well its ovious it will come this conclusion also)

Hello. The character means dragon in Chinese (same as in Japanese kanji, i.e. Chinese characters).
Can\'t say for sure what "yan kàn" is. It isn\'t the way to pronounce "dragon" though.

wow new clues :P

if you see the page says D.O.E

if you put that new clue it will be D (Dragon).O.E

we need the 2 other letters
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: Bucketfel on September 12, 2008, 12:51:21 am
i think, it has something to do with Bruce Lee, theres a lot of stuff where hes called Dragon and we know that Buckethead is a huge fan of him
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: Duckhead on September 12, 2008, 02:35:19 am
D.O.E. ?
deviance of evil
defenders of earth
dept of energy
depending on experience
design of experiments
date of entry
? ? ?
over 200 more D.O.E.\'s here, and I doubt any apply:  http://www.acronymattic.com/DOE.html

Whatever it is Travis put me down for one, I like a good suprise!
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: ilikeheadcheese on September 12, 2008, 07:36:03 pm

Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: beelzeBob on September 12, 2008, 09:27:23 pm

i am 99.9999....% its something from Buckethead

hope im not wrong
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: BucketBrother on September 16, 2008, 12:45:08 pm
It changed again.   It\'s got to be a Buckethead album.  To let everyone get excited like this, then turn round and say it\'s not Buckethead would be far too cruel.  I know you wouldn\'t treat us like that Travis.

Peace out
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: Bucketfel on September 16, 2008, 01:20:29 pm
im hoping to be a Buckethead album, i will definetly buy it cuz my Birthday was 14/9 and i got some money.

plz travis confirm something
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: Andre AKA JoHnNy on September 16, 2008, 05:36:16 pm
Looking the little letters and mixing doe with the begin of letters, in my opinion, i think that the title it can be:

The Dragons Of Eden

...probably...
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: Andre AKA JoHnNy on September 16, 2008, 05:39:45 pm
That is also a book speaking about human intelligence...

...probably...

And this is the author

i was just over at the .tk and i\'m shocked and upset someone would go that far to get something that would of eventually been up on the site.
thanks for the last couple days travis, been fun.

(http://tdrsmusic.com/the_dragons_of_eden.jpg)

First, a little housekeeping. Everything is back in order here. The Dragons CD was not supposed to be announced till today after the first tour show where 3 new CDs where offered for sale. It was a little dull around here so I started what I though were pretty obscure glues above the posts here on the forum. So congratulations on figuring out the chinese character for Dragon and for translating "coming soon". Also to AKA johnny for figuring out the title.

I apologize to all of you who emailed asking what it meant and I didn\'t respond, but really, what fun would that have been.

Lastly, last night samples of the CD were leaked out by someone poking around my site. That person emailed me and apologized. The site wasn\'t hacked after all. He exploited a hole I didn\'t think of, very cleaver and must have spent a good deal of time trying it this way and that till he figured it out. I understand his enthusiasm and accept his apology and it was mostly my fault, I will be more careful in the future.

OK, I think that brings us up to date.
Of the three new CDs on the tour, two of them will be tour only for the time being. The third one, "The Dragons Of Eden", will be for sale here later today. A page will be posted offering the CD and the samples will be available there as well. I\'ll announce when the other CDs will be available in a few days. Check back this afternoon and everything should be up.

Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: waisinet on September 17, 2008, 08:18:58 pm
I would have bought all 3 cds if they where available. :p



Just have to be satisfied with one CD.  :\'(
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: Slunker on September 17, 2008, 08:53:53 pm
So, just a question for you Travis: for us non-US bots who won\'t be able to get the tour only cd\'s, around what time can we expect to be able to buy them through this site? Just a rough estimate perhaps?

I want to get them all..  :\'(

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed that you\'ll reveal the release dates at a later date.. guess I\'ll just have to wait then.  ;D
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: Chris DiCicco on September 17, 2008, 09:00:19 pm

fun times yeeeaaahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

will order the rest later, along with\'m others.

Thanks for the awesome mystery Travis.

I can\'t wait to hear when the other two will be available.  I need to know whether to get my Chicago bot to get the CDs for me at the show.  Otherwise, I might be able to road trip to Towson, MD to the show.
Title: Re: What is Yan Kan?
Post by: bigbri on September 18, 2008, 05:42:26 pm
I\'m hitting the Chicago show next weekend, so hopefully I\'ll get at least one. Probably can\'t afford more than that. Albino, perhaps.
