Buckethead - Nottingham Lace

There's a lot of guitar shredders with tons of technique these days. Many of them have no idea how to turn their playing into actual music, as opposed to showing off. Buckethead, who performs wearing a mask and a KFC bucket on his head, is an exception. No matter how blistering a string of thirty-second notes he unleashes, he's interested in creating something musical. Here he performs in a club and is captured by what looks like amateur video. To describe this as raw energy would be inaccurate. There's a lot of energy, but it's focused and pointed straight at a clear goal: music.
