Brian Patrick Carroll, better known as Buckethead, is an American musician and songwriter.He has released 25 solo albums and performed on over 50 more. He has also made guest appearances on more than 40 different albums by various artists. His music spans such diverse areas as progressive metal, thrash metal, funk, electronica, jazz, bluegrass, and avant-garde music.
When performing in his theatrical persona, Buckethead used to wear a KFC bucket (emblazoned with an orange bumper sticker that read "FUNERAL" in black block letters) on his head and a plain white costume mask (commonly found in costume shops and used primarily for dramatic theater productions). More recently, he has switched to a plain white bucket no longer bearing the KFC logo. He also incorporates nunchaku, robot dancing, and toy trading into his stage performances.Buckethead's persona represents a character who was "raised by chickens" and has made it his "mission in life to alert the world to the ongoing chicken holocaust in fast-food joints around the globe."
Buckethead was raised in a chicken coop by chickens. He wears a white mask to hide whatever it is he has to hide. He also wears a chicken bucket on his head, and some say "without it, he is helpless." Not much else is known about him, though your stay in the park will help you to understand him and not be afraid of him.
Buckethead has long been fascinated with Disneyland, where he hopes to be buried some day (preferably after death). No one really knows why or how he started his own park. Buckethead runs most of the park himself, assuming different personalities as different faces are projected onto his mask. Sometimes he hides in the graves or behind walls and watches. If you sneak in before the park opens in the morning you might see him walking around playing his guitar which is designed to activate amplifiers hidden in the walls, the ground and on top of buildings wherever he walks. |

Forensic Follies is the twenty-seventh solo album by avant-garde guitarist Buckethead, and the sixth album to be originally released on tour, first being sold at Buckethead's May 2009 concerts.
It is another album from the Dan Monti production line, and has a similar sound to the more recent releases.
This album consists mainly of guitar playing over backing tracks from previous albums, e.g. "Slunk Shrine" uses the drum track from "Gigan" off the album The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock, while other songs feature sounds from Buckethead's album Slaughterhouse on the Prairie. |
