91-403: Brian Patrick Carroll (born May 13, 1969), known professionally as Buckethead , is an American guitarist. He has received critical acclaim for his innovative and virtuosic electric guitar playing. Buckethead's extensive solo discography currently includes 31 studio albums. In 2011, Buckethead began releasing albums in the "Pike" series, mini-albums usually around 30 minutes in length, each with

182-410: A Guitar Player magazine contest. It was a runner-up, with editors writing: An astonishingly skilled guitarist and bassist, he demonstrates post- Paul Gilbert speed and accuracy filtered through very kinky harmonic sensibilities. His psychotronic, demonic edge is very, very far removed from the clichés of classical metal and rock. A real talent to watch, also known as "Buckethead." In the same year,

273-461: A KFC bucket on his head, sometimes emblazoned with an orange bumper sticker reading FUNERAL in block letters. This is accompanied by an expressionless plain white mask inspired by the 1988 slasher film Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers . He also incorporates nunchaku and robot dancing into his stage performances. Buckethead stays in character in performances and interviews, and does not appear without some sort of mask. Buckethead

364-432: A Michael Myers -like white mask. The bucket idea came later that night while eating chicken: I was eating it, and I put the mask on and then the bucket on my head. I went to the mirror. I just said, 'Buckethead. That's Buckethead right there.' It was just one of those things. After that, I wanted to be that thing all the time. In October 2017, Carroll gave a rare out-of-character interview discussing all ranges of his life,

455-572: A controlled electric shock in the form of cardioversion or defibrillation . Arrhythmia affects millions of people. In Europe and North America, as of 2014, atrial fibrillation affects about 2% to 3% of the population. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter resulted in 112,000 deaths in 2013, up from 29,000 in 1990. However, in most recent cases concerning the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic, cardiac arrhythmias are commonly developed and associated with high morbidity and mortality among patients hospitalized with

546-400: A bit later, and he's wearing this green fucking Martian's-hat thing! I said, 'Look, just be yourself.' He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother.' So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum, then!' I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing fucking mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's

637-600: A collaboration with Les Claypool from the band Primus , titled Monsters and Robots —currently the best-selling album of his career. The album includes the song " The Ballad of Buckethead ", for which his first music video ever was made. Buckethead began three new projects that year, the first being the band Cornbugs , a collaboration with actor Bill Moseley , drummer Pinchface , and later keyboardist Travis Dickerson . Another project, Cobra Strike with an album called The 13th Scroll , featured Pinchface, Bryan "Brain" Mantia , DJ Disk , and Bill Laswell . Buckethead also began

728-548: A collaboration with actor Viggo Mortensen , whom he first met through a recording project called Myth: Dreams of the World in 1996. Together they released One Man's Meat , One Less Thing to Worry About , and The Other Parade . Buckethead contributed to the 1999 album Devil Dub by the San Francisco Bay Area band Ben Wa consisting of "Dr. Ware" and "House"(Limbomaniacs, Tommy Guerrero , Buckethead's Giant Robot, MCM &

819-471: A collection of 49 short tracks, Bermuda Triangle , and finally, Electric Tears , a calming album that is similar to his earlier release, Colma . When Laswell was not able to play with Praxis at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts festival, Les Claypool asked to jam with Brain, Bernie Worrell, and Buckethead, forming a new supergroup called Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains . The jamband experiment

910-405: A decrease in the heart's pumping efficiency because the signal reaches the various parts of the heart muscle with different timing than usual and can be responsible for poorly coordinated contraction. Conditions that increase automaticity include sympathetic nervous system stimulation and hypoxia . The resulting heart rhythm depends on where the first signal begins: If it is the sinoatrial node,

1001-573: A higher risk of blood clotting within the heart and a higher risk of insufficient blood being transported to the heart because of a weak heartbeat. Other increased risks are of embolization and stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. If an arrhythmia results in a heartbeat that is too fast, too slow, or too weak to supply the body's needs, this manifests as lower blood pressure and may cause lightheadedness, dizziness, syncope, loss of consciousness, coma , persistent vegetative state , or brain death due to insufficient supply of blood and oxygen to

1092-481: A lot of time at Disneyland. Carroll began playing guitar at the age of 12. He learned to play from an elderly man down his road. He is quoted saying that he became serious a year later after moving from Huntington Beach, California , to Claremont . His playing improved with lessons from various teachers at a local music store. His early teachers included Max McGuire, Johnny Fortune, Mark Hammond, Pebber Brown, Joey Tafolla , and Paul Gilbert . In 2003, Buckethead played

1183-417: A means of organizing an artist's catalogue. Another, more recent, definition of discography refers to a collection of musical recordings by a performer or composer, considered as a body of work. For instance, all studio albums by a performer could collectively be considered their discography. A compilation of a performer's piano rolls is called a "rollography." The term "discography" was popularized in

1274-489: A move that would see the start of a four-year long collaboration with the keyboardist. Buckethead's band Thanatopsis would also release Anatomize that year. In 2007, Buckethead released an unprecedented amount of new material. In February, a box set titled In Search of The , containing 13 albums of original material, was released. It was handcrafted, numbered, and monogrammed by Buckethead and contained over nine hours of music. A regular solo album, called Pepper's Ghost ,

1365-400: A new impulse. Depending on the timing, this can produce a sustained abnormal circuit rhythm. As a sort of re-entry , vortices of excitation in the myocardium ( autowave vortices ) are considered to be the main mechanism of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. In particular, the autowave reverberator is common in the thin walls of the atria, sometimes resulting in atrial flutter . Re-entry

1456-400: A normal heart rhythm. This latter group may have more significant side effects, especially if taken for a long period of time. Pacemakers are often used for slow heart rates. Those with an irregular heartbeat are often treated with blood thinners to reduce the risk of complications. Those who have severe symptoms from an arrhythmia or are medically unstable may receive urgent treatment with

1547-517: A note saying, 'I've been beamed up '? Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a motherfucker." Ozzy Osbourne , Revolver . In 2005, Buckethead released the album Enter the Chicken through Serj Tankian 's record label, Serjical Strike . The album features Tankian himself, Maximum Bob (of the Deli Creeps ), Death by Stereo singer Efrem Shulz , Bad Acid Trip and others. It

1638-743: A person to complications such as stroke or heart failure . Others may result in sudden death . Arrhythmias are often categorized into four groups: extra beats , supraventricular tachycardias , ventricular arrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias . Extra beats include premature atrial contractions , premature ventricular contractions and premature junctional contractions . Supraventricular tachycardias include atrial fibrillation , atrial flutter and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia . Ventricular arrhythmias include ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia . Bradyarrhythmias are due to sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular conduction disturbances . Arrhythmias are due to problems with

1729-533: A pricey import, the record received positive reviews and earned some attention. At about this time, Buckethead fell into the orbit of prolific bassist/producer Bill Laswell , himself an occasional Zorn collaborator; Buckethead was introduced to Laswell by Limbomaniacs drummer Brain , who gave Laswell a video of Buckethead playing in his room. Buckethead soon became Laswell's second staple guitar player, besides Nicky Skopelitis . In 1992, Buckethead, with Bill Laswell, Bernie Worrell , Bootsy Collins , and Brain, formed

1820-578: A second studio album that year, Giant Robot , which features many guest appearances by artists such as Iggy Pop and Bill Moseley . The name of the album came from the Japanese series Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot , of which Buckethead is a fan. He also released two other albums with Praxis , their second and third studio efforts: Sacrifist and Metatron . In 1995, Buckethead did not release any solo albums but collaborated with several artists like Jonas Hellborg and Michael Shrieve ( Octave of

1911-482: A sequential number similar to a comic book . As of October 2024, Buckethead has released 662 Pike albums, including almost 300 live recordings. Buckethead has also released seven studio albums under the alias Death Cube K (an anagram of Buckethead). He has released collaborative albums with Brain , Travis Dickerson , Melissa Reese , Viggo Mortensen , Shin Terai , DJ Disk , Bootsy Collins , That 1 Guy and albums with

2002-431: A short time. Normally, the action potential impulse will spread through the heart quickly enough that each cell will respond only once. However, if there is some essential heterogeneity of refractory period or if conduction is abnormally slow in some areas (for example in heart damage) so the myocardial cells are unable to activate the fast sodium channel, part of the impulse will arrive late and potentially be treated as

2093-456: A tribute to all his early teachers as the Deli Creeps played a show at Styles Music's 25th anniversary. He then began making demo recordings of both his playing as well as his writing styles, which would later be released in 2007–2008. The Buckethead persona came to be when Carroll saw the 1988 slasher film Halloween 4 and was inspired by the film. He went out right after seeing it and bought

2184-579: A very large number of very different conditions. The most common symptom of arrhythmia is an awareness of an abnormal heartbeat, called palpitations . These may be infrequent, frequent, or continuous. Some of these arrhythmias are harmless (though distracting for patients) but some of them predispose to adverse outcomes. Arrhythmias also cause chest pain and shortness of breath . Some arrhythmias do not cause symptoms and are not associated with increased mortality. However, some asymptomatic arrhythmias are associated with adverse events. Examples include

2275-485: Is Buckethead's most precious personal project, so he won't record or release it until he knows he is ready. Also in 1997, Buckethead continued to contribute to movie soundtracks, appearing on Beverly Hills Ninja and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation , the sequel to Mortal Kombat . Further releases were Arcana's second and final studio album Arc of the Testimony in which he played with noted drummer Tony Williams and

2366-411: Is a normal response to physical exercise or emotional stress. This is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system on the sinus node and called sinus tachycardia. Other conditions that increase sympathetic nervous system activity in the heart include ingested or injected substances, such as caffeine or amphetamines , and an overactive thyroid gland ( hyperthyroidism ) or anemia . Tachycardia that

2457-510: Is also responsible for most paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia , and dangerous ventricular tachycardia . These types of re-entry circuits are different from WPW syndromes, which utilize abnormal conduction pathways. Although omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil can be protective against arrhythmias, they can facilitate re-entrant arrhythmias. When an entire chamber of the heart is involved in multiple micro-re-entry circuits and is, therefore, quivering with chaotic electrical impulses, it

2548-531: Is another complex problem in the heart and has been labeled as an independent factor in mortality. There are multiple methods of treatment for these including cardiac ablations, medication treatment, or lifestyle changes to have less stress and exercise. Automaticity refers to a cardiac muscle cell firing off an impulse on its own. All of the cells in the heart have the ability to initiate an action potential ; however, only some of these cells are designed to routinely trigger heartbeats. These cells are found in

2639-502: Is labelled bradycardia . This may be caused by a slowed signal from the sinus node (sinus bradycardia), by a pause in the normal activity of the sinus node (sinus arrest), or by blocking of the electrical impulse on its way from the atria to the ventricles (AV block or heart block). Heart block comes in varying degrees and severity. It may be caused by reversible poisoning of the AV node (with drugs that impair conduction) or by irreversible damage to

2730-558: Is marked by its leaning toward more traditional song structures while still featuring typical Buckethead guitar skills. " We Are One " was released as a single and also appeared on the soundtrack of Masters of Horror . " Three Fingers " was used for the soundtrack of the horror movie Saw II . The final track, "Nottingham Lace", was first made public via his home page and soon became a concert staple and one of his most popular songs. Buckethead also released two further solo albums in 2005, Kaleidoscalp and Inbred Mountain —the latter being

2821-542: Is much faster. In athletes, however, the resting heart rate can be as slow as 40 beats per minute, and be considered normal. The term sinus arrhythmia refers to a normal phenomenon of alternating mild acceleration and slowing of the heart rate that occurs with breathing in and out respectively. It is usually quite pronounced in children and steadily decreases with age. This can also be present during meditation breathing exercises that involve deep inhaling and breath holding patterns. A slow rhythm (less than 60 beats/min)

2912-451: Is normally the only electrical connection between the atria and the ventricles (main pumping chambers). The impulse then spreads through both ventricles via the bundle of His and the Purkinje fibers causing a synchronized contraction of the heart muscle and, thus, the pulse. In adults, the normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 90 beats per minute. The resting heart rate in children

3003-525: Is not sinus tachycardia usually results from the addition of abnormal impulses to the normal cardiac cycle . Abnormal impulses can begin by one of three mechanisms: automaticity, re-entry, or triggered activity. A specialized form of re-entry which is both common and problematic is termed fibrillation. Although the term "tachycardia" has been known for over 160 years, bases for the classification of arrhythmias are still being discussed. Congenital heart defects are structural or electrical pathway problems in

3094-418: Is said to be in fibrillation. Fibrillation can affect the atrium ( atrial fibrillation ) or the ventricle ( ventricular fibrillation ): ventricular fibrillation is imminently life-threatening. CPR can prolong the survival of the brain in the lack of a normal pulse, but defibrillation is the only intervention that can restore a healthy heart rhythm. Defibrillation is performed by applying an electric shock to

His father was the athletic director at Damien High School in La Verne, California from 1973 until his retirement in 2013. Carroll grew up in a Southern California suburb near Disneyland . In his youth he was an introvert and spent most of his time in his room with books, games, martial-arts movie memorabilia, and toys. He also spent

3276-524: Is too fast – above 100 beats per minute in adults – is called tachycardia , and a resting heart rate that is too slow – below 60 beats per minute – is called bradycardia . Some types of arrhythmias have no symptoms . Symptoms, when present, may include palpitations or feeling a pause between heartbeats. In more serious cases, there may be lightheadedness , passing out , shortness of breath , chest pain , or decreased level of consciousness . While most cases of arrhythmia are not serious, some predispose

3367-501: The 1930s by collectors of jazz records , i.e. 'to study and write about the discs of music '. Jazz fans did research and self-published discographies about when jazz records were made and what musicians were on the records, as record companies did not commonly include that information on or with the records at that time. Two early jazz discographies were Rhythm on Record by Hilton Schleman and Hot Discography by Charles Delaunay . The following books list detailed information on

3458-502: The Deli Creeps was also recorded. Also in 1996, several Sega Saturn television ads featuring a screaming mask-like face pressing through the blue orb of the Saturn logo was released, with music by Buckethead. In 1997, Buckethead began working on the album Buckethead Plays Disney , but the album has not yet been released. According to his Web page: This highly anticipated album, once listed in an Avant catalog, has yet to be completed. It

3549-450: The His - Purkinje network. The second is due to re-entry conduction disturbances. Cardiac arrhythmia is often first detected by simple but nonspecific means: auscultation of the heartbeat with a stethoscope , or feeling for peripheral pulses . These cannot usually diagnose specific arrhythmia but can give a general indication of the heart rate and whether it is regular or irregular. Not all

3640-569: The Red Hot Chili Peppers . The band eventually ended up with Arik Marshall , and later Dave Navarro . After some legal complications with Sony Music Entertainment , Buckethead decided to release his 1994 album Dreamatorium under the name of Death Cube K (an anagram ). Death Cube K is a separate entity that looks like a photographic negative version of Buckethead with a black chrome mask, like Darth Vader. This apparition haunts Buckethead and appears in his nightmares. Buckethead released

Many arrhythmias can be effectively treated. Treatments may include medications, medical procedures such as inserting a pacemaker , and surgery. Medications for a fast heart rate may include beta blockers , or antiarrhythmic agents such as procainamide , which attempt to restore

3822-425: The fetus . The normal heart rate of the fetus is between 110 and 160 beats per minute. Any rhythm beyond these limits is abnormal and classed as a fetal arrhythmia. These are mainly the result of premature atrial contractions, usually give no symptoms, and have little consequence. However, around one percent of these will be the result of significant structural damage to the heart. The term cardiac arrhythmia covers

3913-410: The supergroup Praxis . Their first album, Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) , released the same year, was well received. The project was Bill Laswell's concept, and has since involved other guests such as Serj Tankian of System of a Down , among many others. Buckethead participated in every release except the initial 1984 release and Mold (1998). In 1993, Buckethead auditioned to play for

4004-496: The underground music communities has steadily increased. He frequently performs at festivals and in clubs nationwide and often tours as the feature performer. The year 2004 saw the release of three new studio albums: Island of Lost Minds , which was his first tour-only album being later re-released by TDRS Music; Population Override , a blues-rock tour de force with Dickerson; and The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell , considered his heaviest effort to date. The latter includes " Spokes for

4095-579: The 5-CD box set Monolith , which consisted of one unbroken track per CD. During 2007, Buckethead also collaborated and appeared on numerous albums with other artists. The sequel to Chicken Noodles (a collaboration with Travis Dickerson ), simply called Chicken Noodles II , was issued by TDRS in December. A live record by Praxis , titled Tennessee 2004 ; the third album with Shin Terai , called Lightyears ; and another album with drummer Bryan Mantia , called Kevin's Noodle House , were also released through

4186-476: The Buckethead character, his parents' deaths, his health problems, and how he copes with overcoming fear. During the podcast, he revealed he has been diagnosed with the potentially life-threatening condition of heart arrhythmia . He stated he had a cardiac ablation performed and uses medicine to control the problem. In 1988, after leaving the band Class-X, Carroll entered a home recording of his song "Brazos" into

4277-465: The COVID-19 infection, due to the infection's ability to cause myocardial injury. Sudden cardiac death is the cause of about half of deaths due to cardiovascular disease and about 15% of all deaths globally. About 80% of sudden cardiac death is the result of ventricular arrhythmias. Arrhythmias may occur at any age but are more common among older people. Arrhythmias may also occur in children; however,

4368-589: The Holy Innocents ). He also contributed to several movie soundtracks, such as Johnny Mnemonic and Mortal Kombat . Later, in 1996, Buckethead released his solo album The Day of the Robot with the help of English producer DJ Ninj and Laswell, plus another album with Brain and keyboardist Pete Scaturro on the small Japanese label NTT Records, called Giant Robot . Both albums were printed only in small quantities and are collectors' items now. A second demo tape by

4459-600: The Monster). Buckethead achieved a higher public profile as lead guitarist for Guns N' Roses from 2000 to 2004. He recorded the often-delayed album Chinese Democracy with the band and appeared live on stage in 2001 and 2002, including Rock in Rio 3 , MTV 's Video Music Awards , and parts of the Chinese Democracy Tour . His guitar solo on " There Was a Time " received acclaim, with several publications listing it amongst

4550-518: The Sky , and toured it in North America. In an interview with Revolver , Ozzy Osbourne said that he had offered to have Buckethead play guitar in his band at Ozzfest , but changed his mind after meeting with him and realizing that he would not remove his costume: "I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me, but only if he got rid of the fucking bucket. So I came back

4641-576: The Wheel of Torment ," for which Syd Garon and Eric Henry made a music video based on the famous triptychs by Hieronymus Bosch . Buckethead also recorded the final two albums by the Cornbugs , Brain Circus and Donkey Town as well as another release with Viggo Mortensen called Please Tomorrow and a second with Shin Terai , titled Heaven & Hell . C2B3 also released their only album, The Big Eyeball in

In the United States, people admitted to the hospital with cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with and without complications were admitted to the intensive care unit more than half the time in 2011. Several physical acts can increase parasympathetic nervous supply to

4823-403: The album Population Override that Buckethead released in 2004. In 2006, the cross-console video game Guitar Hero II was launched, featuring Buckethead's song " Jordan " as an unlockable bonus track. Although the song has been performed live in the past, the video game version is the only known studio recording of the song. When playing it live, Buckethead would almost always simply perform

4914-548: The albums The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock and Crime Slunk Scene , both sold on his tours but later sold on the TDRS Music website. The last album has the song "Soothsayer (Dedicated to Aunt Suzie)"; this song (along with "Jordan" and "Nottingham Lace") is one of his most popular songs and is often played live. Buckethead released his final compilation album with the band Cornbugs , called Celebrity Psychos . He also released an album with Travis Dickerson , called Chicken Noodles ,

5005-509: The arrhythmia can be permanently corrected. Transesophageal atrial stimulation (TAS) instead uses an electrode inserted through the esophagus to a part where the distance to the posterior wall of the left atrium is only approximately 5–6 mm (remaining constant in people of different age and weight). Transesophageal atrial stimulation can differentiate between atrial flutter , AV nodal reentrant tachycardia and orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia . It can also evaluate

From 2000-2004, Buckethead was a lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, recording on the long-delayed Chinese Democracy (2008) album and performing with the band on the first legs of the accompanying tour . Buckethead performs wearing

5187-588: The best solos of the decade. Despite being a member of GN'R, Buckethead released his sixth studio album, called Somewhere Over the Slaughterhouse in 2001, and also his only EP , called KFC Skin Piles . He also released two albums with his band Cornbugs , and a third under his 'Death Cube K' pseudonym. In 2000, Buckethead released the second and last album by Cobra Strike, called Cobra Strike II - Y, Y+B, X+Y . He joined two new projects during this period. The first

5278-400: The brain. Some types of arrhythmia result in cardiac arrest , or sudden death. Medical assessment of the abnormality using an electrocardiogram is one way to diagnose and assess the risk of any given arrhythmia. Cardiac arrhythmia are caused by one of two major mechanism. The first of arrhythmia is a result of enhanced or abnormal impulse formation originating at the pacemaker or

5460-466: The conduction system of the heart and include the SA node, AV node, Bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers. The sinoatrial node is a single specialized location in the atrium that has a higher automaticity (a faster pacemaker) than the rest of the heart and, therefore, is usually responsible for setting the heart rate and initiating each heartbeat. Any part of the heart that initiates an impulse without waiting for

5642-480: The electrical impulses of the heart produce audible or palpable beats; in many cardiac arrhythmias, the premature or abnormal beats do not produce an effective pumping action and are experienced as "skipped" beats. The simplest specific diagnostic test for assessment of heart rhythm is the electrocardiogram (abbreviated ECG or EKG). A Holter monitor is an EKG recorded over a 24-hour period, to detect arrhythmias that may happen briefly and unpredictably throughout

Both albums originally were sold exclusively at concerts and only later got an official release through the label's website. Buckethead released albums with other bands that year: with Cornbugs , he released two compilation albums, called Rest Home for Robots and Skeleton Farm . Gorgone's self titled album was released that year' itself based upon recording sessions from

5824-467: The first ever "official" biography of/by the artist. Later that same year, he announced the release of the album called Albino Slug (a tour-only CD until official release on December of the same year). Along with this album, he appeared on the album The Dragons of Eden , with Dickerson and Mantia, and in collaboration with That 1 Guy as the Frankenstein Brothers , an album called Bolt on Neck

5915-399: The goal of drug therapy is to prevent arrhythmia, nearly every antiarrhythmic drug has the potential to act as a pro-arrhythmic , and so must be carefully selected and used under medical supervision. Several groups of drugs slow conduction through the heart, without actually preventing an arrhythmia. These drugs can be used to "rate control" a fast rhythm and make it physically tolerable for

6006-407: The heart that are present at birth. Anyone can be affected by this because overall health does not play a role in the problem. Problems with the electrical pathway of the heart can cause very fast or even deadly arrhythmias. Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome is due to an extra pathway in the heart that is made up of electrical muscle tissue. This tissue allows the electrical impulse, which stimulates

6097-408: The heart via implanted electrodes. Cardioversion is either achieved pharmacologically or via the application of a shock synchronized to the underlying heartbeat. It is used for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardias. In elective cardioversion, the recipient is usually sedated or lightly anesthetized for the procedure. Defibrillation differs in that the shock is not synchronized. It

6188-514: The heart, resulting in blocking of electrical conduction through the AV node. This can slow down or stop several arrhythmias that originate above or at the AV node (see main article: supraventricular tachycardias ). Parasympathetic nervous supply to the heart is via the vagus nerve , and these maneuvers are collectively known as vagal maneuvers . There are many classes of antiarrhythmic medications, with different mechanisms of action and many different individual drugs within these classes. Although

6279-459: The heart, which resets the cells, permitting a normal beat to re-establish itself. Triggered beats occur when problems at the level of the ion channels in individual heart cells result in abnormal propagation of electrical activity and can lead to a sustained abnormal rhythm. They are relatively rare and can result from the action of anti-arrhythmic drugs, or after depolarizations . The method of cardiac rhythm management depends firstly on whether

6370-440: The heartbeat, to happen very rapidly. Right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia is the most common type of ventricular tachycardia in otherwise healthy individuals. This defect is due to an electrical node in the right ventricle just before the pulmonary artery. When the node is stimulated, the patient will go into ventricular tachycardia, which does not allow the heart to fill with blood before beating again. Long QT syndrome

6461-495: The long-awaited album Profanation (Preparation for a Coming Darkness) in Japan. The album had actually been recorded in 2005, but had to be put on hold when the original label went bankrupt. That year Buckethead released From the Coop through the label Avabella (where he released Acoustic Shards ), consisting of the demos Buckethead gave to Jas Obrecht back in 1988. This CD also included

6552-505: The magazine's editor, Jas Obrecht, came to know of Buckethead when Carroll and his parents left a demo recording at the magazine's reception desk for Obrecht. Impressed with this demo, he rushed into the restaurant where Buckethead and his parents were having lunch and encouraged him to make the most of his talent. They soon became friends. In 1989, a song called "Soowee" by Buckethead got honorable mention in another song contest. In 1991, Buckethead moved into Obrecht's basement. The song "Brazos"

6643-420: The node. Bradycardias may also be present in the normally functioning heart of endurance athletes or other well-conditioned persons. Bradycardia may also occur in some types of seizures . In adults and children over 15, resting heart rate faster than 100 beats per minute is labeled tachycardia . Tachycardia may result in palpitation; however, tachycardia is not necessarily an arrhythmia. Increased heart rate

6734-424: The normal range for the heart rate varies with age. Arrhythmia may be classified by rate ( tachycardia , bradycardia ), mechanism (automaticity, re-entry, triggered) or duration (isolated premature beats ; couplets; runs, that is 3 or more beats; non-sustained = less than 30 seconds or sustained = over 30 seconds). Arrhythmias are also classified by site of origin: These are also known as AV blocks, because

6825-554: The one-off project Pieces , with Brain . Two live albums by Praxis, called Transmutation Live and Live in Poland (featuring recordings from European concerts) were also issued. Death Cube K released an album that year called Disembodied . In 1998, Buckethead released Colma , an album dedicated to his mother, who at the time was suffering from colon cancer . A compilation album by Praxis called Coll ction also came out that year. In 1999, Buckethead released his fifth album,

6916-402: The patient. Some arrhythmias promote blood clotting within the heart and increase the risk of embolus and stroke. Anticoagulant medications such as warfarin and heparins , and anti-platelet drugs such as aspirin can reduce the risk of clotting. Arrhythmias may also be treated electrically, by applying a shock across the heart – either externally to the chest wall, or internally to

7007-851: The presence or absence of any structural heart disease on autopsy. The most common cause of sudden death in the US is coronary artery disease specifically because of poor oxygenation of the heart muscle, that is myocardial ischemia or a heart attack Approximately 180,000 to 250,000 people die suddenly of this cause every year in the US. SADS may occur from other causes. There are many inherited conditions and heart diseases that can affect young people which can subsequently cause sudden death without advance symptoms. Causes of SADS in young people include viral myocarditis , long QT syndrome , Brugada syndrome , Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia , hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia . Arrhythmias may also occur in

7098-403: The rhythm remains normal but rapid; if it is an ectopic focus, many types of dysrhythmia may ensue. Re-entrant arrhythmias occur when an electrical impulse recurrently travels in a tight circle within the heart, rather than moving from one end of the heart to the other and then stopping. Every cardiac cell can transmit impulses of excitation in every direction but will do so only once within

7189-415: The risk in people with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome , as well as terminate supraventricular tachycardia caused by re-entry . Each heartbeat originates as an electrical impulse from a small area of tissue in the right atrium of the heart called the sinus node or sinoatrial node (SA node) . The impulse initially causes both atria to contract, then activates the atrioventricular node (AV node) , which

7280-416: The sinoatrial node is called an ectopic focus and is, by definition, a pathological phenomenon. This may cause a single premature beat now and then, or, if the ectopic focus fires more often than the sinoatrial node, it can produce a sustained abnormal rhythm. Rhythms produced by an ectopic focus in the atria, or by the atrioventricular node , are the least dangerous dysrhythmias; but they can still produce

7371-540: The vast majority of them arise from pathology at the atrioventricular node . They are the most common causes of bradycardia: First, second, and third-degree blocks also can occur at the level of the sinoatrial junction. This is referred to as sinoatrial block typically manifesting with various degrees and patterns of sinus bradycardia . Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), is a term used as part of sudden unexpected death syndrome to describe sudden death because of cardiac arrest occasioned by an arrhythmia in

7462-535: The verse and chorus of "Jordan" before transitioning into the next song. However, the Guitar Hero II version contains a special solo created specifically for the game. Also the same year, Buckethead released two DVDs, titled Young Buckethead Vol. 1 and Young Buckethead Vol. 2 , featuring rare footage from 1990 and 1991.

7553-634: The year, called Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot and Cyborg Slunks . The latter again came in both a hand-drawn limited edition and (some weeks later) as a normal CD. Buckethead wrote three songs dedicated to Aunt Suzie in 2006-07: the aforementioned "Soothsayer" (Crime Slunk Scene), "Aunt Suzie" (Cyborg Slunks), and "Sail On Soothsayer", (Decoding The Tomb Of Bansheebot). As Death Cube K , Buckethead released two albums in 2007: an album called DCK, limited to 400 hand-numbered copies and released in August; and in December,

That same year, it was revealed that Buckethead joined a project by the name of Science Faxtion , a band featuring bassist Bootsy Collins and drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia , with Greg Hampton supplying lead vocals. Their first album, called Living on Another Frequency , was delayed several times and was finally released in November 2008. On January 1, 2008, the band Praxis released

7735-399: Was credited by Guitar World as "ushering in [a] new era of virtuosity" while ranking the release of his 1992 debut album Bucketheadland the 45th greatest moment in electric guitar history. The magazine has also listed him among the "25 all-time weirdest guitarists" and the "50 fastest guitarists of all time". Brian Patrick Carroll was born on May 13, 1969, to Tom and Nancy Carroll; he

7826-587: Was eventually released on the 1991 demo tape of his band Deli Creeps , titled "Tribal Rites", and again as bonus material in Buckethead's Secret Recipe DVD in 2006.

Discography A discography can also refer to the recordings catalogue of an individual artist, group, or orchestra. This is distinct from a sessionography, which is a catalogue of recording sessions , rather than a catalogue of the records, in whatever medium, that are made from those recordings. The two are sometimes confused, especially in jazz , as specific release dates for jazz records are often difficult to ascertain, and session dates are substituted as

8099-619: Was somewhat erratic in its last year, despite contractual obligations. According to an interview with Rose, he seemingly 'left' the band in January 2004 without telling anyone, and 'rejoined' in a similar manner in February. "His transient lifestyle has made it impossible for even his closest friends to have nearly any form of communication with him whatsoever." In March 2004, Buckethead left Guns N' Roses. His manager cited Guns' inability to complete an album or tour. Since that time, his cult following in
