Title: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: Wheres Izzy on December 09, 2004, 12:09:47 AM The first time I even heard of Buck Cherry was the whole randy castillo tribute thing where VR started. I never heard any of their music until this afternoon at my friends house he played me a song on his computer called "lit up" and it fucking rocked. It had a cool early aerosmith hard rock vibe to it and I liked josh todd's vocals. I am wondering if it is worth checking out any of their other songs so if anyone has listened to em at all let me know if they're any good.

I'm not a huge fan, like, so I can't recommend anything, I always thought they were very hit or miss. Josh Todd did a solo record not long ago that was very good. Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: the dirt on December 09, 2004, 12:15:58 AM Yeah, they're good, i like em!
Get their two albums; self titled and Timebomb Too bad they broke up Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good?

Post by: Eazy E on December 09, 2004, 12:30:35 AM The "Lit Up" riff is a huge ripoff of "Shock Me" by Kiss (with Ace Frehley on vocals)... It's still a good song though.

Just go buy both albums and be done with it. They are awesome. Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: Stupid Head on December 09, 2004, 02:49:14 AM Timebomb is my most favourite album of all time. Either that or AFD, it changes from day to day.
Everyone says their selftitled album is the best but I think Timebomb is a masterpiece. A lot of the songs from TB are far better than Lit Up. Especially Pornostar. That album has awesome riffs and the vocals are really catchy without being forced. The guitar player wrote the riff to Dirty Little Thing too. That guy is awesome.

LoL I know it sounds like a dumb question but I was thinking about it earlier and wanted to know.
Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: Chris Misfit on December 09, 2004, 07:08:53 PM Yeah, they're huge Chuck Berry fans.
Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: SLCPUNK on December 10, 2004, 02:21:05 AM Yeah, they're huge Chuck Berry fans. haha! :rofl: :rofl: Fuck off! Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: MCT on December 10, 2004, 11:29:15 AM I agree with Chris. They're pretty much 'hit or miss'. But overall, on a scale of 1 - 10, I'd give 'em a 5. They are, or perhaps more accurately were, a solid, competent hard rock band. And like you, I like Josh's vocals................... : ok:
Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: kj_jive on December 10, 2004, 11:59:16 AM They're decent. I saw them years ago live and they were pretty good. I didn't like their albums however, seemed mediocre. nothing very original there but it still kinda rocks.
Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: Tj on December 10, 2004, 12:00:48 PM I used to listen to them quite a lot. I only have Timebomb. Based on that evidence, I give them 7 out of ten, maybe an 8. Very good band. I wanted Todd in VR.
Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: Gunner80 on December 11, 2004, 01:02:31 AM Boring beyond reasoned thought.
Title: Re: Anyone know if Buck Cherry is any good? Post by: Wheres Izzy on December 13, 2004, 12:14:26 AM I picked up the self titled cd today. A little disappointed outside of lit up. The rest seems kind of bland. I'll give it a few more listens tho.
