PIKE 293 - OVEN MITTS has arrived in the month of July 2021 and is a first in the world of PIKEs, that being that it is a LIVE album! Yep, no recycled ideas of past PIKEs that seem to have run out of steam but rather a collection of live performances which haven't yet been disclosed as to the location of recording.

I think i get the strategy now and that is crank out a plethora of mediocre but ok albums in the PIKE series and then throw a curveball in from time to time and at long last we have received a hatched egg that has down just that. Needless to say, the phenomenon known as BUCKETHEAD continues to sally forth into the future as if the bucket on his head has given him some mysterious powers of longevity although at times when ideas are recycled ad nauseam one begins to wonder if the batteries need changing. Posted Friday, J| Review this album | Report (Review #2579386) No indications as to where each of these tracks were recorded either. I'd call this a decent PIKE for sure but it does make me wonder if a hundred more of these PIKEs will soon emerge as live recordings. While it's cool they still don't match their studio counterparts but definitely a worthy listening experience for those indoctrinated into the chicken club. Overall it's a nice break from the incessant mediocrity of recent PIKEs to hear some of the classics in a live setting. Nottingham Lace live - which comes from the "Enter The Chicken" album is another excellent classic BH trick The Redeem Team live - an ok but not outstanding track from the "Albino Slug" album Night of the Slunk live - nice live performance from one of my fave albums "Monsters and Robots."įountains of the Forgotten live - another experimentally wild classic from "The Cuckoo Clocks From Hell" album. Usual stuff but showcases BH's virtuosity and considered expert level on the video game itself. Jordan live - this track has only appeared on the Guitar Hero II video game and therefore makes its debut on an album. The audience participation adds another element as well and thankfully he culls the vast stockpiles of arsenal to offer tracks that were once really good. Somehow he has bridge the immediacy of 90s alternative rock with the more experimental realms of guitar wizardry. Especially for solo artists who don't put on the best live shows and that includes BUCKETHEAD however these PIKEs do capture a different aspect of this strange musical wonder.

To be honest live albums are not my favorite. While the possibility was that it was a one-off, with the fast following PIKE 294 - WAR THREADS it is apparent that the chicken lover plans on releasing a series of LIVE albums under the banner of the PIKE series. It was the first LIVE album to emerge from the coop and in the process opened the doors to a ceaseless supply of such recordings. With the release of "Pike 293 - Oven Mitts" BUCKETHEAD entered new territory as far as the never-ending PIKE series is concerned.
