true. although the funny thing is, in a way it turned out exactly how you might've expected for a project which was basically half phish/half primus.john m wrote:On paper, Oysterhead should have been the single greatest band in history.

no way. i've seen buckethead play a number of times and while there is no doubt as to his skill, he's way more of a vai/satriani guy than trey is. trey is an equally good guitar player, and much better versed in the freeform, jazz style that copeland/claypool do so well. i know buckethead and claypool have hooked up a number of times though, and i saw buckethead rip through a blistering set at the haight street fair one year so i know how good he is. it's just that trey fits the style better. and i thought oysterhead live was very entertaining, and not at all like typical phish or primus but more like the early police actually.tviyh wrote:true. although the funny thing is, in a way it turned out exactly how you might've expected for a project which was basically half phish/half primus.john m wrote:On paper, Oysterhead should have been the single greatest band in history.

oh, i know there's a huge difference in style -- when i said "lead guitarist" i didn't mean "guitarist" i meant "lead guitarist". as in, trey would still be around to write and sing half the songs, and play rhythm guitar and stuff... just... he could leave out all that boomerang nonsense he got way too heavily into on that record and in latter-day phish (story of the ghost &c.)

Oh yeah.. I have very little faith that could ever happen.
PS - thanks, Ernie, for the news flash!
