I'm not very big on c2b3 because of some of the vocals on it on one of the cds i was listening to.

I think the song with Serj was "We Are One".

yeah, thats the song. cool

some of the vocal stuff kinda sucks. im not big on claypools singing, but some of his primus stuff is great.

i kinda liked some of the old stuff. seas, rhino, and pork soda. the newer stuff is weak.

I saw Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains back at the first Bonnaroo music festival in Tenneessee. CCBBB was a pickup jam band that included Claypool and Buckethead (and Bernie Werel!) It was the first time I'd ever seen Buckethead and man they fucking rocked out!!! That guy is a one man side show. He's both wildly gifted and a great performer because he does all these stage gags like breakdancing.

In Halloween of 2003 I went as Buckethead for Halloween and it was a smashing success! I'm tall (6' 4'') just like he is and I had the entire gettup on. When I was on the street I was so scary that I had kids freely offering candy to me without asking! My best friend and I went to a Flaming Lips / Beck concert in New York and when Beck came on stage, he said, "I didn't get dressed up this year, but I was going to go as Buckethead. I here Buckethead is in the audience tonight."

At which point I stood up and started screaming and whooping it up. I was in the first row in the balcony and all the spotlights were on me. He continues by telling a story of how he and the band members from OASIS were doing a gig in Brazil and all they could talk about was whether or not Buckethead was really a genious, or just a gimmick ridden fake... he goes on with story for about 5-10 minutes, after which he says... "Well Buckethead... this next song is dedicated to you." So I got a song dedicated to me by Beck when he played live in NYC!

I've met Buckethead in person, without the mask...
