You were 19 when you found the, about 24 year old Buckethead. He didn’t understand much about human life but he sure did know how to shred on guitar. His signature white Gibson Les Paul guitar with his two arcade style red buttons that act as kill switches that help his create wicket tones and effects on the guitar as he’s known for. You didn’t understand his style but you liked it.

He told you, or more wrote it down for you, about his past, he told you about how he was raised in the chicken coup, hidden away from the other children and other people. When he was 17 he burnt the chicken coup down, of course, making sure the hens and chickens were safe first, then making his escape. He had done puppet shows on the street corner to make money and when he had the money he bought a guitar. His guitar.

Now he made music. With the plastic mask he grew up with, and the KFC bucket on his head that had the face of Colonel Sanders plastered on it. He was a star. People loved him but he only loved you.
