Buckethead Just Plain Gives Up In Our Worst Album Cover Of The Year Race



Guitar shredder and general weirdo Buckethead is obviously no stranger to bad/awesome aesthetic decisions. But if you need more evidence, I give you the cover to 1999's 13th Scroll:

R-184038-1109348199.jpg

But that obviously took some effort. Ultraman/Kentucky Fried Chicken collages don't make themselves. But the cover to his forthcoming Acoustic Shards? It looks like Perez Hilton drew it. Quickly. Poor Buckethead. Axl Rose has destroyed his batshit work ethic.

  • My two year-old said that album cover is the worst drawing she's ever seen.

  • I hope the actual MS Paint-like album cover actually has the compressed from bmp to jpg look of that picture.

  • Jesus I thought Jess had returned to using MSPaint!

  • You guys don't get it.

    strokemychicken: yet again just following the crowd in thinking hes a guitar shredder, they obviously know NOTHING about his music and just want to burn anything that isnt as manufactured as my teso ownbrand microwave meals! Calling him a weirdo though is just another assumption made by people that have no fuking idea of what they're talking about!!!!

    r4tm:Yeah, I got some tips for you

    1) Fuck off.
    2) Fuck off. Again.
    3) Do some research next time before you slate someone.
    4) Just because you are an ignoramus that cannot apprecite the art that various artists do, regardless of the media of which the are presented in, does not mean that the art is of any less quality than some boring fucked up obvious shit that your stupid ass can understand.

    This album is awesome because he took the time to draw all the artwork himself. Why did he do that? Oh, i don't know, prehaps its the same reason that sometimes he sets aside 400-500 copies of an album to indivdually sign and label them himself before he puts out the manufactured edition. Because he puts so much effort and soul into his music that he gos out of his way to make each song, each album the best that it can be. He wants the listeners to feel a genuine connection with him and thats exactly what he acomplishes. I think the artwork perfectly matches the vibe of the album. People like you are the same people that dislike him because of his appearance. You can't handle anything in a format different then that of your bubblegum pop world, so you just write it off as trash.

    I mean every word Im about to say: I hope you all get ass cancer and die...

    not really

    I just hope that one day you'll realize what you've been missing out on.

    peace.
