Re: A helluva instrumental album
All of these instrumentals together would make a great album. Hell, they would make a great Buckethead/Praxis/Giant Robot album.
Bucket and Brain are 2/3 of Giant Robot and 2/5 of Praxis, and their instrumentals sound a lot like both bands, leaning toward Praxis. We don’t have writing credits, but I could guess Pete Scaturro is partly responsible for one or more of these. He was credited on Sorry and Shackler’s.
I am fuzzy on my GNR timelines, so excuse my ignorance here: Which of these instrumentals are pre-Bucket and with Bucket? I might just have a nice little Pike to make.
At any rate, great stuff. Tommy’s bass is spectacular and Freese is s monstrous revelation, to me at least.
Cheers..
Re: A helluva instrumental album
I’ve always wanted The Cutting Room Floor Bucket Tapes. This is like the Best of Bucket in the Coop.
I guess the CD anthology won’t happen because CD is not corporate media friendly.
I expected CD to be a sprawling trilogy of excess. Get Bucket in there and do 10 minute epics. But Axl delivered an Event album worthy of the name. But I could handle something much messier.

One of the first things Bucket released after leaving GNR was Nottingham Lace. Dan Monti was involved. I’ve always suspected he had that ready for Axl as a GNR epic. In fact, he released it as a feee download on his website which fueled my suspicion.
Soothsayer was another that came soon after GNR. He started playing it live years before he released his recorded version.
Makes you wonder about the possibilities.
Re: A helluva instrumental album
I remember us joking years ago that Axl should just join Praxis while CD is in limbo.
He wound up getting similar material to work with.
That rough mix disc yesterday was pre-bucket CD. These others look to have him dominating the material.
It's not all pre Bucket, look at the mix dates on the tracklist. Bucket was in the band by latest March 2000. He might be on some of the March mixes but it seems unlikely. Anything with a mixdate that's September, October, November he's likely on it and the ones that sound like him fit those dates.

Yeah, I always thought Soothsayer and Nothingham Lace would have been perfect for new GN'R. They would have one everyone over with that guitar epicness
