Buckethead

I know this has been done before, but a conclusion was never really reached, and I think this site is missing a talented artist who has released many metal albums.  He has a released multiple thoroughly metal albums, with many other albums containing metal elements.  Here are a few that I'm familiar with.  I would also bet that he has other ones, considering he has averaged around 4 albums per year.

I think Avant-Garde would be most accurate.  He has a lot of material that's Avant-Garde, and he had a couple albums released on Zorn's old label.  And even when he's not playing Avant-Garde music, it's usually somewhat experimental.

There was some discussion of his addition in this thread, but no formal suggestion was ever made and there doesn't seem to be any collaborator consensus on the site.

Ok Drew, we'll make a start on this artist. It's not going to be a quick job, so bear with us!

Just as well that the poll seems broadly in favour of addition, as Buckethead has been added and is complete up to the end of 2012. I'll leave this thread unlocked for a little while in case anyone has any comments on perhaps albums tagged as non-metal where you know better? I'll close it down in a few days.

 I'm sure the last time I checked it was down as prog metal.
