Did Buckethead really audition for the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Yes. One journalist’s account reported that the lead singer picked Buckethead up at the airport and found out that Buckethead had not heard any of their tunes. The audition proceeded anyway, and Buckethead played in his inimitable fashion (i.e., robot dance, hyper-metal licks etc…). When he finished the band applauded raucously.
