Buckethead Career
In 1988 after leaving the band Class-X, Carroll entered a song called “Brazos” into a Guitar Player magazine contest. It was a runner-up, with editors writing: An astonishingly skilled guitarist and bassist, he demonstrates post-Paul Gilbert speed and accuracy filtered through very kinky harmonic sensibilities. His psychotronic, demonic edge is very, very far removed from the clichés of classical metal and rock. A real talent to watch, also known as “Buckethead.”
In the same year, the magazine’s editor, Jas Obrecht, came to know of Carroll and his parents left a demo recording at the magazine’s reception desk for Obrecht. Impressed with this demo, he rushed into the restaurant where Buckethead and his parents were having lunch and encouraged him to make the most of his talent. They soon became friends. In 1989 a song called “Soowee” by Buckethead got an honorable mention in another song contest. In 1991, Buckethead moved into Obrecht’s basement.
The song “Brazos” was eventually released on the 1991 demo tape of his band Deli Creeps, titled “Tribal Rites,” and again as bonus material in his Secret Recipe DVD in 2006. Luke Sacco was his teacher. In 1991 he contributed to Derek Bailey’s Company project alongside, among others, John Zorn and Alexander Bălănescu, resulting in a triple album called Company 91. After his first two demo tapes, called Giant Robot and Bucketheadland Blueprints, he released Bucketheadland on John Zorn’s Japanese Avant record label in 1992.
Though available only as a pricey import, the record received positive reviews and earned some attention. At about this time, He fell into the orbit of prolific bassist/producer Bill Laswell, himself an occasional Zorn collaborator; Buckethead (as a performer, producer, or composer) was introduced to Laswell with the help of Limbomaniacs drummer Bryan “Brain” Mantia, who gave Laswell a video of Buckethead playing in his room.[16] Buckethead soon became Laswell’s second staple guitar player, besides Nicky Skopelitis.

BUCKETHEAD REVEALS LIFE-THREATENING HEART CONDITION: ‘EVEN WALKING ACROSS A ROOM IS DIFFICULT’
Guitar master has revealed in a new interview that he was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition. The shredder underwent surgery in an attempt to correct the problem but continues to struggle with simple tasks like walking across a room. He is one of the most prolific guitarists in history, having recorded over 300 studio albums at just 48 years of age. He’s also well known for his four-year stint as a member of Guns N’ Roses, being credited for guitar work on the majority of GN’R’s Chinese Democracy album.
He continues, “They suggested I had a thing called an ablation, they go in and freeze your heart. It’s supposed to do something with the nerves because they said my heart was fine, but it could be a genetic thing, they didn’t really know. I had that procedure, and it didn’t really stop it, and I’m still dealing with it. I take medication, which is tough, because I never took anything my whole life, although if I eat food or drink something that’s probably worse anyway (laughs). So it’s been really difficult because it’s scary because it comes on. Even walking across a room is difficult, luckily the medication I’m thankful for, because it’s kept it from going berserk, but it’s pretty intense.”
“It seems like now I’m letting this thing sort of exist now in me, I can’t really escape it,” the musician adds. “I’m always aware of the intensity of my heartbeat, it’s just not something that I’d ever experienced, so it definitely kind of scares me. But I also see that it is also doing a lot of good because I need to do all of the things I want to do.”
In true his fashion, the guitarist revealed he recorded a record while laying in bed “the day after” he had his procedure. “I could be gone tomorrow, anybody could be gone, but that’s a heavy experience. I want to play right now, and I want to play that experience,” He proclaims. [via Alternative Nation]We’d like to wish him the very best in his health and continued recovery.
