Movie Reviews of Secret Recipe
Movie Review: Weak content dooms Guitar Demon
Summary: 1 Stars
I consider Buckethead a unique artist with an original vision. The manifestation of that vision on his 13th Anniversary DVD, while intriguing and amusing, is for only his most devoted, hard-core fans.
I've liked some of his stuff on YouTube, and saw the DVD by chance passing through a cd/dvd store in a mall and took a chance. Bad decision.
I can go along with the "Cheapo Depot" look and vibe, but when it comes down to delivering content, this is a bloated, nearly unwatchable video. The content is presented in two disks, but it should have been one. The live concert material on disk 2 looks as if shot on consumer grade video cameras, featuring Bucket playing along to pre-recorded tracks, doing the robot, and a display of his num-chucks skills. The music, speed-rock with doses of country chicken pickin and classical flavors, sounds largely the same from song to song. Frankly, I was bored.
The is an experiment gone wrong. His over-the-top Dr. Phibes meets Yngvie meets the dark side of Disney is realized as an unfocused mess on this package. The result it had on me is that I am unlikely to buy another DVD or song from him without checking into reviews first, so buyer beware. Memo to Buckethead: find someone to focus your vision and move on to the next phase of your career.
