'''"Spokes for the Wheel of Torment"''' is the second song from the album ''[[The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell]]'' released in 2004. This song is one of a few that have a music video (the other were "[[The Ballad of Buckethead]]" from the album ''[[Monsters and Robots]]'', "[[We Are One (Buckethead song)|We Are One]]" from Buckethead's 2005 album ''[[Enter the Chicken]]'', "Pyhric victory" by [[Thanatopsis (band)|Thanatopsis]], and "Viva Voltron" for the animated series).

The music video was directed by Syd Garon and Eric Henry featuring additional artwork by long time Buckethead collaborator Bryan "Frankenseuss" Theiss. The video is based on the famous [[triptych]]s by [[Hieronymus Bosch]], ''[[The Garden of Earthly Delights]]'', ''[[The Last Judgment (Bosch triptych)|The Last Judgement]]'', the ''[[Paradise and Hell]]'', and ''[[The Temptation of St. Anthony]]''.

The music video starts showing a place that looks like hell were Buckethead has a mandolin and is carried by a flying beast which releases him. Buckethead ends in the hands of the "Prince of Hell" from the ''[[The Garden of Earthly Delights]]'' triptych.

Buckethead gets eaten by the creature and his head, the mandolin and the two arms fall, getting themselves stuck on a tree where Buckethead starts to play a part of the song. While he plays, a lot of people getting killed are shown in several ways and a bird is picking body parts. Then the "Tree Man" from the same triptych is shown and the camera chenges to the upper part of the triptych were all is on fire.

Buckethead keeps playing and when the song finishes the screen goes black and the credits appear showing the [[triptych]]s by [[Hieronymus Bosch]]. After the credits the camera pulls to show the credits were on a circular shape. The screen goes black again and the words "Beware, Beware, God Sees" appear.
