Buckethead

Dark ambient
Dark ambientFunk

Buckethead is a Dark ambient and Funk act. Their sound grew out of Painkiller, Danny Gatton, Paul Gilbert, Brain and Bernie Worrell. Those roots explain a lot about how Buckethead arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman, Vinnie Moore and Les Claypool, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Genki Sudo, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Saul Williams, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Serj Tankian, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 20 connections around Buckethead, reaching back through Painkiller and forward to Genki Sudo. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
