Re: Buckethead pikes

Yeah, the 'milking' remark was me playing the devil's advocate a bit. ;)

And yeah, I guess his ambitions aren't as high as they were but I'd like something a bit more hi-profile than the demo's that come at a rate that you just not can't keep up to. And that's funny to say for someone who's been avidly following Zorn, Laswell and a couple of other groups/musicians that used to release several albums a year at least for a while (Wu-Tang, Crimson and various side projects).

You never know down the road. 

I wondered about this increased output too. But basically (like someone already pointed out) it's not as if people have to buy it. So I guess it's certainly his prerogative. And since people DO actually seem to eat it up....

I feel the same way about him as you. Tremendous respect for his talent. I just am not always feeling certain things from him.

I don't really see it as "milking his fans" since he's putting it out there & people can take (buy) it or leave it. Or, with so much downloading maybe he's trying to make up for it by volume!?
