The elusive and almighty Buckethead has given his first ever podcast interview revealing his voice, many personal troubles he's had, and so much more. As a huge Buckethead fan I never would have thought this would happen in a million years. He did one magazine interview a long time ago but his voice has almost never been recorded. (a few mumbles with a weird voice don't count. Also there was one song he sang quietly on)
The interview was with him and his therapist. He talked about a lot of subjects but there was a huge bombshell that came out. He said that he's had heart problems over the past years and had heart surgery. The heart surgery didn't fix it and sometimes his heart beats really fast and he gets scared he's going to die. This has given him a sense of urgency in life and he's doing everything he wants in life as if every day could be the last. This explains why over the last 5 years he has recorded over 260 albums. It's really incredible what he has accomplished over these past years.
He also talked about his social anxiety which has made it hard to call and talk to people and how the mask is what allowed him to overcome it and go out on stage. He also said his parents died a few years ago and that he is really sad, but when he plays guitar it's like they are in the music and he can communicate with them in the music because when they were alive they always liked it when he played to them.
Overall he sounds like a really special and caring person, which is how I always pictured him to be. Everyone who is a fan or even knows who he is should go listen to the interview right now.
