Welcome to the Buckethead task force of WikiProject Guitarists!
Our main goal is to create, oversee, update and maintain articles and other Wikipedia pages related to guitarist Buckethead. Even though we may concentrate on the guitarist himself we also have an eye upon related artists such as Bill Laswell, Bryan Mantia, Travis Dickerson or Viggo Mortensen as long as they don't have a WikiProject dedicated to them.
A list of articles covered by the task force can be found here. For a list of recent changes go here.
A second list, mainly containing articles that link to Buckethead can be found here. Recent changes can be checked here.
You also may have a look at our assessment department.

Missing articles (somewhere over the slaughterhouse)
There's so many Buckethead related releases, bands, plus some dear friends that some less important topics don't have an article yet. Our long term mission is to write articles on all of them. If you have enough information and time on your hand, you can start writing one at any time. You also can add good discography or interview links etc. to the lists below. Inform other members if you plan to write article, maybe in the newsletter, and they will help you. If you just wanna fool around a bit, use our Sandbox!
People (enter the chicken)
- Dan Monti aka Delray Brewer (see Monti on Discogs)
- Pete Scaturro (see Scaturro on Discogs)
Projects & bands (any cornbugs?)
- Cobra Strike (band)
- El Stew
- Frankenstein Brothers with That 1 Guy (leads to Bolt on Neck)
- Gonervill
- Zillatron (leads to Bootsy Collins)
Releases (acoustic shards)
Buckethead contributed to a lot of records during his career and not all have received an article yet. A list of all missing releases, not counting compilations without original material:
Research pages:
- Bingeandgrab.com has a nearly complete discography page with releases up to late 2007.
- Discogs is less complete, but well researched.
- Also see Buckethead discography!
