BUCKETHEAD !!
I saw him on a cd I got in a Guitar World magazine a few years back. Never got to hear him play on it because I couldn't get past the retarded bucket on the head thing and the puppet deal. He may be the greatest guitarist to ever live, I may never know. I have never liked silly gimmicks, which is why I never got into Gwar like my good friend was. Am I missing out? Probably, but I'm ok with that. :)
