Why bother planting crops if they may be burned before they could be harvested? The continuing threat of renewed conflict offered little incentive to arable farming. The Reivers were the product of the constant English-Scottish wars that would often reduce the Border area to a wasteland. And it was common for these families to straddle the Border. It was a time when people owed their tribal or clan loyalty to their blood relatives or families. Cattle rustling, feuding, murder, arson and pillaging were all common occurrences. In those days, this Border displayed all of the characteristics of a frontier, lacking law and order. It concerns the border between the two sovereign countries of England and Scotland. The story of the Reivers dates from the 14th century and continued through into the late 17th century. And, if you do share one of these surnames, you may be advised not to read on… Well, In our interview with one of Buckethead’s best friends and GNR’s drummer at the time, Bryan ‘Brain’ Mantia, this is what he said about Danyel.If your surname is Armstrong, Maxwell, Johnston, Graham, Bell, Scott, Nixon, Kerr, Crozier or Robson then your family history, just like the astronaut Neil Armstrong’s, may very well be intertwined with the Border Reivers. Speaking of which, Zutaut also claims that Buckethead was “inspired” by the smell of poop that one of Axl Rose’s dogs deposited in the coop.Īt this point some of you out there might be saying, well, Buckethead did sing that song about a hardcore puppy star called ‘Danyel Cheeks’. Now, call me a cynic, but this sounds like complete puppy poop. This being the same Axl Rose who done doggy style in the studio on the song ‘Rocket Queen’. Then, one day Axl finally showed up, got mad at the sight of Buckethead watching “dirty depraved” puppies and scolded Buckethead.

And because this is youtube in 2020, to tell the rest of this story I'll be changing the ‘P’ word with Puppies.Īccording to Zutaut, Buckethead requested that a TV be set-up in the studio so he could sit and watch hardcore puppy movies in order to get “inspired”. Unlike some website want you to believe, the coop was small, cost zero money and was filled with Bucketheads toys and props, all of which can be seen in the background in his 2002 interview with MTV.įrom there the story continues and the smell of BS starts to come in. The chicken coop story is 100% true, backed up Axl’s personal assistant, who Axl refers to as his “mom” Beta (Better). Zutaut then suggested to Bucket that they build a chicken coop inside the studio to make him feel more comfortable. Voiced his displeasure at having to come to the studio every day when Axl wasn’t there and play the same parts over and over again. Then we get to the Buckethead segment of the article, where Zutaut says that he met with Bucket, who Because, in his words, they said he was the only one who could save them and get Chinese Democracy released. It then continues with a long spiel about how Tom Zutaut rescued Axl Roses marriage, and how the ‘new’ GNR called him up and begged him to come back and rescue the band. Which, providing no people were hurt, Buckethead would probably celebrate a KFC getting blown up, not get mad. It begins with a dumb, fictitious story about Buckethead getting mad and swearing because he saw a KFC outlet getting blown up on the news. The Story was first published in 2008, told by former Guns N Roses and Motley Crue A&R guy Tom Zutaut, who served as GNR’s A&R guy for a second time, during Buckethead’s stint with the band.
