Buckethead & Friends
Enter The Chicken
The Story
Buckethead, whose sense of rock fashion includes a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket as headgear, signed with System Of A Down's leader Serj Tankian's Serjical Strike label in September of 2005. His first release is here, "Enter The Chicken". If you've ever thought to yourself, "I like Buckethead's instrumentals, but I'd like some vocal tunes as well," then "Enter The Chicken" is just the thing to brighten up the hen house. Building up a tag team of guest vocalists (including Tankian), Buckethead shreds while the throat mashers sing, scream, gurgle, shriek, yell and screech over the ten vocal numbers - save the final track, a brilliant instrumental entitled "Nottingham Lace". Better than Original Recipe or Extra Crispy? Let the hungriest of roosters decide.
