"WOW! If you like guitar rock music; this is the bomb! I caught about the last minute of "Ballad of Buckethead" on Much Music about a year ago and saw and heard this GOOFY looking guy with a Colonol Sanders chicken bucket on his head and a plain, white expressionless plastic mask just rippin' it up! Got the CD (Monsters & Robots) the next day and I have not heard a rock guitarist like this in years! Combine: Hendrix,Vai, Malmsteen, Nugent, Randy Rhoades, Eddie Van Halen, Frank Zappa, Bela Lugosi, Slingblade and Michael Myers from the horror flicks and you "START'" to get an idea what this music sounds like. The production is AAA+. All his other CD's are excellent but this is the best one to start with if you have never heard any. He is almost "impossible" to find playing live but most of the time he just shows up; i.e., Primus, Bill Laswell, Bootsy Collins, Family Values Tour and Ozzfest. No one "really" knows his name or what he looks like, but this young man plays the guitar like it is plugged into his crotch! Rock, jazz, classical, metal, acoustic, etc. This guy is going places!"
