Did Buckethead audition for the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Yes. One journalists 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…) and when he finished the band applauded raucously. Flea confirmed that they auditioned BH saying that he was “sweet and normal” but they wanted someone “…who could also kick a groove.
