  • In general, Buckethead's tapping skills are amazing enough to put Eddie Van Halen to shame. Whereas many guitarists only tap with two or three fingers on the fretting hand and one finger on the strumming hand, Buckethead uses all eight fingers. The almost organic sound of his impossibly fast tapping on songs like "Jordan" comes from this.
  • The solo from "Jordan" is seriously the most awesome guitar solo in the history of solos ever!
  • Also counts as a funny moment, but Buckethead had the balls to play mind games with Ozzy Osbourne.
  • Buckethead even manages to make falling cool.
  • All of Buckethead's nunchuck solos and robot dances.
  • In 2014, he released 60 albums! Yes, 60 freaking albums! Even if you don't like Buckethead, you have to admit that is pretty impressive.
    • In 2015 he released 118 albums! Again, even if you think his music is of poor quality, that is an impressive feat.
  • In October of 2017, Buckethead appeared on a podcast, revealing a whole lot about himself. Fans everywhere were amazed.
  • Buckethead playing a banjo. Nothing more needs to be said.
  • Hold Me Forever, the album released in honor of his beloved mother's death. Based on his previous memorial song "Sail On Soothsayer" for his Aunt Suzie and the creation of Colma to help his mother relax in the hospital, one would expect the album to follow the trend of hauntingly beautiful, quiet songs with lots of acoustic guitar. Instead, Buckethead creates an elaborate rock album full of distinctive riffs and complex solos with more passion than ever before that almost serve as the musical equivalent of a Viking Funeral.
