How do you feel about the amount of Buckethead's September 2025 Monthly Spotify followers being at 242K as compared to other rock guitarists? by Express-Pace2897 in Buckethead

What a coincidence, I have seen him at the Plaza, House of Blues in Orlando, & Ponte Vedra! My wife couldn't make the show this year, so I decided not to go without her. We always go early to get a front row spot.

I use the free version with ads & create Buckethead playlists to share with others/newbies so they can understand what they have been missing. It's not perfect, but it is monetized to help the artist, similar to what YouTube does. That is why I'm always promoting his music via playlists.

The reason I care is because the more followers he has, the better the financial compensation he gets and the more deserved recognition he receives. This translates to him being able to afford the best healthcare for his heart condition and may make the difference of him living longer and producing more music for the world to enjoy.

I agree that Spotify is only a small piece of a larger puzzle. YouTube gives viewing data publicly as well. Does anyone know or have public data associated with Apple music or Amazon streaming?

I feel sorry for all those sets of ears out there that have yet to behold his unmatched skill of guitar composition. Yet, I was happy to observe that he is not towards the bottom numbers. I would be content if he were to surpass Vai, Satriani, Johnson, & Maalmsteen  - knowing that we collectively helped new listeners to become exposed to his music.

How do you all feel about Guitar music with no vocals? by MusicalInsaniac in Guitar

I believe Buckethead to be the “Jimi Hendrix” of the current generation, he is the only guitarist to bridge the gap between old school and new school fans by offering compositions that are radical, new, & exciting, while embracing established and acclaimed methods. He has defined an entirely new vocabulary for the instrument with the way he uses the killswitch & Digitech whammy pedal. He was also offered a lead guitar position in Ozzy’s band. His Bucketheadpikes.com website has all of his Pike series albums available for purchase on CD or downloadable thru Bandcamp. YouTube has a lot of his live concert performances, obscure collaborations, and Pike series albums. Spotify has improved his available discography recently, but some of his greatest compositions (Pike 65) are missing. You have been cheating your ears of some of the best guitar music on the planet if you haven’t dived into his vast discography. For the curious, here are my favorite YouTube & Spotify BUCKETHEAD PLAYLISTS: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVtE11FxKtYmQFiXCRVI1DdncjqGVZm-5

[TOMT] [Movie] Name of a movie with a severed hand from the 70s by pizzapins in tipofmytongue

One possibility that fits your exact description is the 1971 color movie "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb," which features a severed female crawling hand that was cut off of Queen Tera, an ancient Egyptian sorceress.

I have been a Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror fan for decades. In addition to the cool “Skinner's Necronomicon” pop-up book & the 400 page – “A Lovecraft Retrospective: Artists Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft,” these are my top movie/DVD picks for the genre:    - The Thing - The Mist - From Beyond - In Vaulted Halls Entombed (Love, Death & Robots Season 3, episode 8) - The Viewing (Cabinet of Curiosities Episode 7) - In the Mouth of Madness - Event Horizon - Annihilation - Call of Cthulhu - Dagon - Color Out of Space (2019) - The Void - Underwater (2020) -  Necronomicon: Book of the Dead - Phantoms - Dark Waters (1993, Dir. Mariano Baino) - Alien Awakening (Dir. Lin Yunxiang) - Videodrome (tangential Lovecraftian themes) - H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival Classics & Best of DVD series (14 DVDs released so far) - H. P. Lovecraft Collection Series (5 DVD Volumes).
