This may be old news to a bunch of you, but I just noticed it. |

Aug 15, 2002 10:23 AM | | The thing I read had a guy called Buckethead in the band too. I don't have any idea who he is though. Any clues? |

Aug 15, 2002 10:33 AM | | Buckethead is a guitarist mostly known for his avant-garde, post-instrial, weirdo work with Bill Laswell's group PRAXIS, though he also has a few solo albums out. I was under the impression that Buckethead and GnR parted ways..

Aug 15, 2002 10:39 AM | | Thanks for the link.
I saw the band lineup on the official GnR site, so I would expect it to be correct, although they could be day to day for all you ever know when Axl's in charge.
Never listened to Praxis, but I've liked most of the Laswell stuff I've heard. Would you recommend it? |

Aug 15, 2002 11:10 AM | | Praxis has many sides.. the two albums I have are <i>Transmutation</i> and <i>Sacrifist</i>.
<i>Transmutation</i> includes drummer Brain and Bootsy Collins.. so as you may expect, it's pretty funky.. I like it a lot.. there's also some cool keyboard work by Bernie Worrell..
<i>Sacrifist</i> seems to owe more to Laswell's work with Painkiller, and it includes a more varigated cast of characters, including members of Blind Idiot God. It's less funky, more thrashy and industrial.. I like it a lot too.. Since it's hard to come by, I could easily drop a 'preview' copy your way.. If you keep your eyes open, <i>Transmutation</i> shows up in used bins once in a while..

email me if interested..
btw, thanks for the Wax Traxx! stuff, certainly brings back a flood of memories from my club and college dj days!! |

nobody,
Praxis has a nice compilation, I think it's called <I><B>Collection</I></B>, that would be a good place to start.
PS Yes, Buckethead is no longer in G'n'R. He was like the opposite of Slash (even though he could do anything), so I'm not sure how well he would have fit in. Or, more correctly, I'm not sure how much he would have changed the public's image of G'n'R..."surreal" is definitely the word for it. |
