- Colma:
- The album was recorded for Buckethead's mother as she was ill with colon cancer and he wanted to make an album she would enjoy listening to while recovering.
- Buckethead has released the song, "The Homing Beacon," as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson. The song perfectly embodies Michael's life, going from sweet and innocent in the beginning, to fast and turbulent at the end, all ending in a rather untimely and unexpected way.
- "I Love My Parents" from his album Bucketheadland. The title says it all. The rerecorded version off Giant Robot, with an anonymous string ensemble, takes it that one step further...
- In 2013, he officially showed his face for the first time on the cover of Pike 13. The photo in question shows a teenage Buckethead hugging his father, who was feeling ill at the time.
- How did he open the first concert of his 2016 tour? With "I Love My Parents".
- Hold Me Forever, a 28:36 minute song honoring his mother after her death. The musical equivalent of a Viking Funeral, it consists mostly of Buckethead's famously catchy riffs combined with complex solos. It almost feels as if it's lifting her to Heaven on its wings.
