Buckethead is probably the closest thing to experimental so far. Even then he's more avant-garde/progressive. For those of you who are wondering what the difference is or what classifies as experimental here are a few guidlines:
Experimental-Unusual starts and stops, unconventional/bizzare melodies (or lack thereof) with chaotic or technical structure, blending of completely different genres (for example grind and atmosphere), wide range of vocals, usually is undefinable by current known genres
E.G. Have you heard Tera Melos? It's weird, they go from complex noise to soothing jazz intermissions to perky pop-punk riffs.
Avant-Garde-Large focus on improv (jazz and blues for instance), basic or prerecorded melodies play while the lead guitarist/saxophonist/whathaveyou goes to town, definite genre but uses techniques uncommon in said genre.
E.G. Jimmy Hendrix was a blues player who used heavy distortion effects and long-winded solos to create a unique acid driven type of blues/rock.
