I'm a little bit obsessed at times with the enigma that is Buckethead and I was excited for this release, but I have to rate it 4 out of 5 because of the lack of live performances on it. I love the packaging and the reading material probably makes up for almost all of the content that isn't on the DVD. The home footage and behind the scenes stuff is very entertaining for a lazy night on the couch with nothing to do. I cracked up quite a few times at the nonsensical behavior of Buckethead and friends, but I can't see myself watching this material more than once or maybe twice if it's needed. There are tons of little side menus that don't go anywhere, but they're a neat little addition, especially since most DVDs don't have these little blurbs of humor hidden away. I recommend this for the biggest Buckethead fans only.Read full review
I was really pleased with the content of the Buckethead "Secret Recipe" 2 DVD set. You get a LOT of material here... Solo videos, video of him with Bootsy, Praxis (some beautiful melodic playing), a live show DVD, lots of clips from home in full shred mode... There is a TON here. The only reason I didn't rate this as excellent is the DVD menu is VERY difficult to get around. Let me put it this way, the last time I popped it in I could NOT find the live material on the first disc... It is quite an intricate menu, and entertaining at first but then it is just difficult. The material here however, when you find it, is amazing and a must for any lover of the guitar.
It's finger licking good! Alright, this DVD is a bit weird but if it wasn't it wouldn't be Buckethead. The packaging and everything visually is awesome. The second DVD is a great live performance from Boston from a couple years ago. The sound quality is not phenomenal so that was a little disappointing but it's still better than watching videos on YouTube. The first DVD is made up of all kinds of weirdness that I can't even explain but you'll know what I mean when you see it. All in all this is a good watch and worth picking up, especially if you can get it for $10 like I did. Having just seen Buckethead live I can say that it doesn't do him justice but until he does a full live DVD with direct from soundboard audio this is the best thing out there.
Orginally only available concerts, this well presented DVD provides the casual and megafans with an immense amount of Buckethead information. With the genius menu display filled with plenty of easter eggs, early demo tracks and music videos, illustrated disocgraphy and videos of Buckethead and other members of the Deli Creeps, this dvd is finished perfectly with the full official video of a legendary Boston show from 2004 on a second disc. Anyone interested in Buckethead should no doubt buy this dvd.
Ce DVD comporte plusieurs extraits de concerts couvrant presque toute la carrière de Buckethead. Il comporte des éléments intéressants: séquences diverses des délires de Buckethead, concerts avec différentes formation. Mais ce DVD souffre de grosses lacunes: un menu ludique, mais fouillis et pas toujours évident à manipuler, des extraits de concerts qui restent très amateurs dans leur qualité, même si certain son plus pro visuellement, la prise de son reste très mauvaise et ne rend pas hommage à Buckethead. En résumé ça aurait pu être le DVD ultime si il avait comporté des concerts de meilleur qualité!Pour les fans...
