It's up on the Ramshead site, and WM has confirmed it. Should be an amazing show, and a real education for anyone who thinks dragonforce is metal.

  Yeah Dragonforce is pretty cartoonish. so is Buckethead. and Manowar.

anyone here willing to 'fess up to seeing buckethead last night?  
 
 i'll start: i did, and it was an interesting show.  from a technical point of view, i've never seen anything like that dude (and yes, i've seen/heard a number of 'guitar gods').  strong element of performance art (or acid burn-out, you chose) to the show, which ran about two and half hours.  "bass player" played this home-made single-string contraption made out of pipes - weird, and he was good at it.  drummer was a retarded man-child.  over-all, very surreal... yes, the bucket is dorky/stupid/whatever - it was good music, which was what i came for.

where did you see him?
 
 I saw him at Wetlands about 12 years ago w Bernie Worrell and a few other PFunk ex-pats. Buckethead was clearly the center of attention and deservedly so. pretty phenomenal guitarist.

I go to Birchmere for the food.

The Sword is just as much of a joke as Dragonforce, a bunch of alternative music douchebags who discovered Black Sabbath a few years back and think we should give a fuck, William Elliott Whitmore is the only act worth seeing on that bill.

So what's the story with all the ridiculous band names?  Do they give themselves these stupid metal names on purpose, or are they for real?

Well I was at least curious to ask the question....so I guess that I care.  Are these  bands being trying to be cheeky and ironic with these names and the music they play or are they serious?
 
 Touchy touchy touchy....

They're serious when the money is good, $50 says the twats in The Sword were trying to be the next Foo Fighters or Fugazi back in the 90's when there was no money to be made playing metal.
