专辑介绍：
It’s Alive is the thirty-first studio album by guitarist Buckethead. Its the first in an upcoming series of albums collectively named “Buckethead Pikes”, after the kiosk inside Bucketheadland that sells albums not yet available at the regular store. It is currently unknown how many albums are due to appear in the series. The album was announced and released on May 15th 2011 through the board of Buckethead’s site, making this the first album since Kaleidoscalp (2005) to be advertised on the site. Along with the announcement, samples from most of the tracks from the album were made available, excluding samples from the tracks “Peeling Out” and “Barnyard Banties”. The album features two tracks originally released for free on Buckethead’s website. The track “Crack the Sky”, dedicated to basketball player Blake Griffin, was originally released on February 17th 2011. “Lebrontron”, the fourth Buckethead track dedicated to Lebron James, was originally posted on March 10th 2011. With the total length of the album being 31:10, this is Buckethead’s shortest studio album. As of May 16th, the album has not been released in the regular store. 2011
Buckethead，著名吉他手Paul Gilbert的高徒，他的音乐风格是将电子乐，吉他噪音，独特的创意，融合到一起。
带着肯得基桶当帽子的Buckethead共收集有40个此种肯德基桶，现已停产，因为他很喜欢肯得基桶所以才被称为Buckethead。他至今共发行过超过30张个人Solo专辑，并且在33张专辑中担任吉他手。参加过的著名乐队包括Praxis, Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains和Guns N’ Roses，他还是一些电影原声带和电玩配乐的guest player。Buckethead的演奏跨越多个风格，包括thrash metal, funk和electronica等等，他是著名吉他演奏家、教育家、理论家Paul Gilbert的学生，速弹吉他手排行榜名列第八，老师Paul Gilbert第四，第一是Michael Angelo。1996年Slash离开Guns N’Roses，在经历过几个主音吉他手后，2000年Guns N’Roses终于找到了Buckethead作为他们的合适人选，但在2004年Buckethead突然离开了他已经效力了四年的Guns N’ Roses。
永远用音乐来表现自己的想法，隐藏在面具和桶下的Buckethead将在你对吉他音乐黔驴技穷的时候给你上重要的一课，让你重新认识吉他音乐的另一面。
不时有人向我打听起Buckethead，为什么他戴着面具，顶着个桶？他的父母怎么了？他是半人半机器吗？他会伤人吗？他真的是个科洛尔·山德斯（译者注：肯德基的创始人）迷吗？等等。我无法告诉你们关于他所有的一切，只能说一些而已。
以前采访里说了Buckethead说过的一句话“不带面具 做的是一个真实的自己 带上面具 就能做一个另类的 一个自己向往却不能在现实中实现的风格的自己”
