Here Today... Gone To Hell!

HOLY SHIT!!!!! i just read that buckcherry have reunited...well, at least their singer and lead guitarist have - which is pretty much the core of the band anyway...this fucking rules....buckcherry was the only band to produce real, old-fashioned rock during that whole rap-metal trend in the late 90's/early 2000's....they were the only band i really liked after gnr...this is great news...I'M ALL LIT UP AGAIN, beotch...I LOVE THE COCAINE, I LOVE THE COCAINE...peaceout

by the way, their singer (josh todd) was supposed to be the singer of velvet revolver until they dumped him because he wasn't famous enough..


here's the link to the story:

here's a copy of the story:


January 28, 2005
BUCKCHERRY - Back Together
According to MTV, Just three years after they broke up, Los Angeles hard rockers BUCKCHERRY are prepping a reunion. Well, singer Josh Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson, are, anyway. The band's songwriting core has reunited and is recording its third album with a new rhythm section and second guitarist. The as-yet-untitled album is due out later this year.

I'm so fucking excited!!!

This is great news, but what about the other members?

I liked that rhythm guitarist that joined for  time bomb

as far as i know it's just the singer (josh todd) and the lead guitarist (keith nelson)...they have found new members to play bass, rhythm and drums...i didn't like the second album as much...maybe they'll go back to the more bluesy sound of the first album

I really dont care what it sounds like, Josh hasn't let me down yet

they're back, beotch

Buckcherry?

Meh...  :P

They were always a wannabe Guns N' Roses but someone forgot to tell them that job was already taken by Skidrow!  :yes:

Jimmy Ashhurst is the bass player.

who is he? and how do you know this? do you know anything else about what's going on in buckcherry?

wow...i looked into it and jimmy ashhurst played with izzy in the juju hounds....no way!  somehow buckcherry always seems to have some kind of connection to gnr members...i don't know anything about ashhurst, but if he played with izzy, he must be good....that would be awesome if he was the new bassist for buckcherry

I got my info from Jimmy himself.

do you know anything else about buckcherry?  who is their new rhythm guitarist?  who is the new drummer? when will the cd come out?  what record label will they be on? do you know any info such as this?

I heard a rumor they might open for the crue

Sorry I don't know anything about rhythm guitarist or the drummer. He just said that they will be signing with management and a label soon.

do you know if they are done with their album yet, or are they still working on it?

He said that they have been writing together and it sounds great. If I get any more news I'll let you know. We just recently came into contact and I wait for him to  initiate conversation.

if you don't mind me asking...what is your connection with jimmy? are you a musician, or someone in the music business or what?  i'm just asking, because whenever someone comes on a board and says they've spoken to this person or that person,  i am naturally going to be skeptical and consider the possibility that the person is just making it up and screwing with me...i'm not asking you to tell me your name or where you work, just a vague explanation..

Buckcherry fucking rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God damn i loved the fuck out of the two cd's...... the josh todd solo wasnt that great but my god buckcherry rule....

I came into contact with him by chance over the net. I am positive that it is him.  I gave the info to the beenafix board two weeks ago I believe. It's your call to believe me or not man. I have far better things to do than make up random statements about Jimmy.

thanks for keeping me updated...i appreciate it...not that i don't believe you, but when we finally find out who the band members are, i guess then i'll know for sure

I wonder if they plan to write all new stuff or use some of the stuff they wrote together before they joined the project in 02

this is fantastic news.  the only news better than this would be axl and slash reuniting.. seems like all my favorite bands break up.... I really wish that velvet revolver went with josh todd rather than scott.... but i'll be happy with a buckcherry album.  i all most like them better than the new gnr.  the music is pretty good.. maddy the blues ect.. but i can't get into teh 3 ring circus.. goth, guys with buckets on their head.  seem like people you would make fun of in highscholl not rock icons.. anyway back to buckcherry.  does anyone know where to download any of their rare tracks likd late night in voodoo or fast back 69.. and the cover on the nascar soundtrack.. that cover by the way is one of the best cover since kohd by gnr.  so fired up to hear about bc getting back together.. thanks for the info.. keep up updated
 

 ::)

...Or because he wasnt the best guy.

Anyway, Im glad to hear this, I like the band.

psh...sorry, but josh todd is a much better singer and writer than scott...he would've been the perfect singer for VR...when i first heard josh would be the singer, i thought: "now that's a perfect fit"....then when i later heard they had chosen scott instead, i thought: "scott weiland?! he's a grunge singer...he is not at all right for a band composed mostly of ex-gunners"....it is obvious they just wanted a singer who already had a big reputation so people would pay more attention to their band....they were afraid to accept a no-name singer for their band...as a result of choosing scott, their album is dull and boring...not at all as good as it could've been if they'd stuck with josh

Go to thebattlehasjustbegun.com and you can download rare tracks

You understand that, fortunately, not everybody shares your opinion or thought process, right?? So your own opinion really means nothing when discussing why Todd wasnt chosen or why Scott was.? Get it?

fuck you, douche bag...i have the right to express my opinion...just because a lot of people think scott is a good singer for vr, that doesn't make all of those people right...there were a lot of nazis too, does that mean they were right?

Thanks for the link to dowload the hard to get tracks.... anyone have an new  news on the other members or progress of the band?  I hope this is true.. buckcherry were awsome

Haha, just hearing the name Buckcherry makes me laugh.

Not tryin' to start a fight here, but they are probably one of the worst bands I've ever heard. And I also saw them live when they opened for Kiss back in '99.
Everyone thought they were crap, and the singer Todd insulted the crowd many times, so when he decided to to a stage dive, everyone just stepped aside and he landed on the ground. One of the funniest things I've ever seen :)

anyone hear any slam hound songs?  how are they compared to buckcherry?

anyone know where to download slamhound songs?

nope

Hey 1987 go to closer2chaos.com and I'm sure someone can set you up with some slamound.

But what Blues Rocker said was true. Sad but its true. Not that I care because I might not have been able to see Slash and Duff here in New Zealand last night which was awesome plus I get a new Buckcherry album which is just as good.

No.  You agree with him - that doesnt make it true.  Understand the difference.

1 of the most underate-id bands out there...

cant wait @!!

Anybody no naything about the recent reunion of Buckcherry? Is it true?

Buckcherry were bad ass... Esp the 1st disc... The 2nd disc rules too....

Josh is a bad ass... Scott is bad ass too!!!

yes it is ;)

anyone know of any buckcherry webpages?  i'm just as excited for a new bc album as i am for a new gnr album... prob because i'm just so sick of waiting.. still wish josh todd was picked for VR.. but contraband is growing on me

bitchez and $$$$ @!!!

bitchez and $$$$@!!!

I fucking love Buckcherry. I got into them a couple of months ago and timebomb is one of my favorite albums of all-time. I would hate to have to pay for crue tickets to see them open tho. I'm really not a mtley fan at all.

Well thanks to this thread I have discovered another great band and I will be picking up both albums maybe even Josh's solo album two thanks people  : ok:

i found a download for both slamhound cd's  http://closer2chaos.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=282&start=10   thank....   its not that bad... but buckcherry is much better....  some songs sound a lot like hollywood rose.   if you like very raw music this is pretty cool... def not easy listening though.  bc has much more melody

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Slamhound but it is worth a listen. 1987 I suggest you pick up the Josh Todd album it's a little more nu-metal but real good. The new album will be awesome sleazy rock!!

I have been a HUGE Buck fan since I saw the ad for the first album on tv back in '99... I got to meet and hang out with the band at a gig in London, ON and that was one of the coolest nights of my life. I can't begin to describe how exciting this is for me... I can only hope it is true. This feeling is like when the GN'R '02 tour was announced.

I can't believe that I am just finding out about this now, though... How sad that I call myself a huge fan!

Another confirmation about Jimmy being in the band
http://beenafix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2016

could someone post the information?  you need to be a member to view the link above.  thanks

www.buckcherry.org official site coming soon!

any new news yet?

anyone here anything yet?  it looks like they are planning a new official website... so something must me going on. 

I remember how excited i was to get that cd with litup on it. I even thought the cover was cool, but i thought they sucked overall. not much to this band i don't think.

i loved lit up but i thought the majority of the album sounded nu metal - ish. Loads of people compared them to AC/DC and GN'R, but now i know what they meant:

mostly power chords
songs about drugs

The sounded like good ole rock n roll to me. Nothing new metal about it, no way...to me anyway.

still no news?.. why do all of the best bands break up and take for ever to release a new album?.. any official news form either band would awsome

that is great cause joshe's solo cd sucked ass

that rules, we need more bands like em, do they have a new record label?

STILL NO NEWS?

SPEAKING OF  SLAMHOUND AND EARLY 90'S HOLLYWOOD, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET ANY GLAMOUR PUNKS , AUDIO OR VIDEO ???

come on if you guys know who slamhound is, someone must have heard of glamour punks, they were ten times as popular as slamhound was !!!

i am a big buckcherry fan but i cannot find anyone that has any bootlegs from them.  i would prefer dvd but cd-r would work as well.  let me know if you have anything and we could work out a trade.  thanks

chads_33@hotmail.com

 :beer:

if i can i would like to get my hands on their woodstock '99 performance on dvd

dont have that one, and my files are not dvd

I don?t have any video but you can find a ton rare tracks at thebattlehasjustbegun.com and if you are interested in hearing slamhound?. Same lead singer but from the early 90?s.. you can find 2 cds worth of songs at http://closer2chaos.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=282&start=10 .. I don?t know how to up load my stuff so the best I can do is offer the links that I got it from.. hope it helps..  none of this stuff is as good as buckcherry?s first 2 cds but it s cool to have..
Does anyone know where I can get any of the tracks that they played at tribute concert with slash, duff ect? a few years ago?

YES- the CHERRY ROSES show , audio or video would be greatly appreciated

I know Jimmy Ashhurst and can also confirm he is in BuckCherry.

Jimmy co-wrote what is probably the best song on Izzy Stradlin & The Ju Ju Hounds - "Shuffle It All". Very cool guy.

buckcherry has completed their new album, and will soon be shopping it for labels...

This makes me so incredibly happy.  : ok:

One of the most underated bands in the last 10 yrs imo.

This will be good. : ok:

this should hold me over until Chinese D comes out (assuming it's coming out this year)...at least somebody knows how to finish an album and get it out (c'mon axl, these guys just got back together a few months ago and they're already done with their album)

i just read on litupagain.com that buckcherry will be performing at a festival in japan in aug... hopefully they will do a warm up gig in the states first

Thanks to outta_get_mean at the Izzy forum

http://freett.com/buckcherry/

I found this rumor on the BuckCherry message board...

"BuckCherry is said to be playing Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, Cali on Friday, August 5th. It would make sense since they are yet to perform together in front of a crowd, and they need to warm-up for Summer Sonic 

I phoned up the Canyon Club to confirm and they said Molly Hatchet is scheduled to play that evening. The opening band though is a new group called 'The Cherry Brothers'"

http://litupagain.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=206

The news is now on Blabbermouth too  :D BuckCherry is back and touring with a fucking Ju Ju Hound!! This is seriously cool  ;D

People with mullets and prison tats will be lining up at Ticketmasters everywhere!!

Just like all the homo's in bandana's and "I Love Axl" tshirts did for the cancelled GNR US Tour haha.

hehe ;D

this is great news...can't wait to hear a review of the show... anyone have any idea whats going on with the cd... who ever promoted their last 2 cds did an awful job... i just hope the new one will be available in the US

They are great band, that really is underrated...

 It is now confirmed that reunited Los Angeles hard rockers BUCKCHERRY will be playing a "secret" club show tonight (August 5) at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, California The band will hit the stage at around 8:30 p.m. under the name THE CHERRY BROTHERS. Headlining the concert will be MOLLY HATCHET. This will be BUCKCHERRY's first show with their new lineup:

Josh Todd (vocals)
Keith Nelson (guitar)
Jimmy Ashhurst (bass)
Stevie D. (guitar)
Xavier Muriel (drums)

BUCKCHERRY will be playing material from their first two releases plus new material from their forthcoming CD, "Fifteen", which will be released on Universal in Japan in October. The follow-up to 2001's "Time Bomb" was produced by Nelson and is expected to receive a U.S. release in the first quarter of 2006.

As previously reported, BUCKCHERRY have been confirmed for the Summer Sonic Festival, set to take place August 13-14 in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. Also scheduled to appear at the festival are SLIPKNOT, NINE INCH NAILS and DEEP PURPLE, among others.

you must check out this new buckcherry song...even if you already like buckcherry, you will be blown away by this song...and if you don't like buckcherry, you will after hearing it.  just click the link below and the song will play automatically (i recommend using headphones) 

http://www.myspace.com/buckcherryworldwide


forget everything you know about buckcherry - this song is far beyond any of their previous work, and it is on par with great bands like GnR and Aerosmith.  their music has matured quite a bit since their last album...this song illustrates what this band is truly capable of.

if you are disappointed by VR because they abandoned the GnR style of music, you will be comforted by this song...it has a very strong GnR style - old school and blues based, but still powerful and modern...it has a timeless quality that is difficult to achieve.  and it's CATCHY AS HELL.

Cool song 8)

GREAT song....the lyrics are a bit extreme, but the music blows my mind

I like the classic rock sound much more then the VR sound

I love Buckcherry and always wondered what VR would have sounded like with Josh as lead..
Not to worry Buckcherry is back,praise be ;D

good song...real good song!

the music is great!  lyrics are a bit repetitive.

This song rocks man!!!! : ok:

very impressed n' yes.......its what VR shoud've sounded like...imo!!!

check it out people

sounds really good, Snakepit 2.0 style song... When will they release the next album?

Hi all,

I leaked some info onto the net with regards to a secret BuckCherry gig (at the request of the band) but unfortunately not too many people believed me that the show was legit. Well heres some photos:

Hope some of you caught the show, the band played a mix of new and old material.

great song... i think the album is going to be released in oct.  can't wait for it.. their first album was awsome.. and time bomb was pretty good too.. def the only band that came out of the late 90's that comes even remotely close to the AFD era GNR

actually, the october release is in japan...it won't come out in the U.S. until early 2006 (jan - april)

this will be their 3rd album, and it will be called "fifteen"

just a side note - buckcherry's new bass player (jimmy ashhurst) played bass for izzy in izzy's solo band "izzy stradlin and the juju hounds"...just an interesting piece of trivia

any clue if you could get the album on itunes in oct...  i suppose i could just buy the import on ebay... fired up for the new disc..

Cool!

Can't find either of their first two albums on Amazon UK though. Hopefully they'll release their latest record over here too.

Id be a bit curious to see had they chosen Josh Todd, how many would say; "They shouldve got weiland"

This song fucking rocks!   Thanks for the link!

Velvet... who?   8)

damn straight

THANK GOD FOR SCOTT WEILAND

are u kiddin me?

this dude is like the "Stripper Girl" singer with just a bit better of a voice

music is pretty good, but VR shits all over this

They have always kind of reminded me of GnR in an AFD kind of way.

Blasphemous

are u serious?

This from a bon jovi worshipper.   :hihi:   

i would have much rather had todd in VR than scott..

That makes about... 10 of you.

11...

But now that buckcherry's back together, Todd is where he really belongs.

I would rather listen to songs about sex and drugs..partying ect..  than hear a millionaire whine about how the world is against him and he hates his life.. dude..youre a rock star.. enjoy it for Christ sake? just my opinion.. but I really don?t want some deep or depressing song..  just something that will get me fired up? like welcome to the jungle or lit up

The official website is up and running now at www.buckcherry.org

Thank you !
Is new material good ?  :)

Music is good but VR smokes this. I like VR's modern rock style. If they would have gotten Josh Todd people then would be ripping them because they sound too much like GnR , they would have been saying they should have gotten Scott instead, it is a no win situation for them . I think Weiland is ten times the front man Todd is. Josh Todd is good but not even close to Scott.

These lyrics are embarrassingly moronic.

Only heard one song from the studio and it was cool, I enjoyed it. You can hear it here:

www.myspace.com/buckcherryworldwide

 ;D

this songs full grown on me hey :yes: :yes: :yes:

at first the words were full on but fuck that shit, thats the shit we need. : ok:

I really liked Lit Up on their first album, but this sounds pretty ordinary, and the lyrics are just dumb. I don't think it's better than anything on Contraband either.

I have tried to let this new song grow on me ,but it just doesn?t .

The music is pretty good but the lyrics and vocals just don?t do anything for me.

scott weiland is a talentless hack, and vr blows because of his awful presence...

Yeah, they suck so bad that they are selling out concerts.

What a fuck.

also, Josh Todd obviously can't write lyrics for shit.

the riff is decent, but nothing like Gn'R. What the hell are you people on?

i guess they mean it's just Rock n' Roll all together.

As far as raw energy is concerned, not the music style or sound. Just energy, put together, no fucking around, rock n roll.

The lyrics are a bit disapointing, to say the least. Music is great though.

Its funny cause VR sucks cause of Weiland supposedly but yet all people bitch about is the music.

Last I checked Weiland doesnt play an instrument so......

Watched VR live to see Slash and Duff, spent the whole time watching Scott cause he is amazing

I like lyricist who write bout something I can relate to.

Josh Todd sounds like a junior high kid learning how to cuss for the first time.

there is no substance to that song whatsoever and I guess thats what I listen to music for.

I agree the lyrics of this Buckcherry song are awful, but how in the world does somebody relate to stuff like this


That's from Sucker Train Blues.

Personally i cant stand the lyrics, and i agree Josh Todd cant write lyrics for shit! Although i have to say i'm not dissapionted by the music.
THANK GOD THEY CHOSE SCOTT WEILAND!!

The lyrics r' no different to what nearly everysingle rap artist writes about anyway........sounds like its up to todays standerts anyway!!

found this over at litup.com...just a little album info   http://www.litupagain.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=266

Mama can you wait!! mama can you wait!!

check it, peeps

Here is the entire Osaka show buckcherry they did a few weeks... there are 4 new tunes to check out... I'm not sure if this is a soundboard or not but the quality is quite good.. enjoy, courtesy of the guys over at litupagain.com
http://rapidshare.de/files/5187773/Osaka_8-14-05.zip.html

anyone see buckcherry at the MTVicon for janet jackson?
they came out and covered her song Nasty,  i tought it was great but the crowd did not seem impressed  (wonder why?)

how do I download without paying for a premium account ????
it lists the file ,but I cant find a link ????

anyone know where to download the new buckcherry album.. i bought the japanese import.. but it won't be shipped for 2 weeks..

it is good but I cannot post links to official released music on this site,
    if you can find a way to contact me otherwise ......

cool...  thanks boston

while it unfortuantly seems CD wont be releases this spring thre is still hope for rock n roll, Buckcherry has regrouped and are releasing there new cd "15" april 11th. check out there video here for there new single crazy bitch www.myspace.com/buckcherryworldwide and go here for mroe info on some of the new members and and there upcoming tour http://buckcherry.fanfly.net/?C1522_482683? Rock On Kids.

(http://www.10thst.com/Joshs_m80_stuff/buckcherry_banner.gif)

Crazy Bitch Vocals are overproduced.  ::) And the singer should SHUT UP before the damn solo is over!  :rant:

Lit Up is a fun as hell song though, even though I prefer KISS more for that style of music. Buckcherry have definitely gone down over the years. Rock bands are like the opposite of metal in that way; they get worse as time goes on (especially after the 3rd album) instead of better.

i think the album is awsome..  better than the second album.. not quite as good as the first.. its not ground breaking..but if you like good old rock then its great..  pm me if any wants a listen.. its not released in the us.. but it has been released in japan.. so i don't think i can post the songs here..

i hope they open for the aerosmith/crue show..  aerosmith usually co headlines and also has a much smaller band open.., i think it would be  a perfect fit for them..   

I saw them open for KISS.   They rocked, very cool.   I love the new album, soon as it hits the store I'll be buying a copy.

I don't know much about them.... are they any worth to check out...

Peace

What style of music are they lol adding to the question.

I guess their rock/alrernative...

In a word, NO.

They had a really good first single, "Lit Up" I think,  & their album cover & name were pretty cool, but the rest of cd lacked. All hype with no substance.

My thoughts exactly. I heard Lit Up and thought it was awesome, but the rest of the album was pretty average.

they're pretty good rock n roll!

I have the 3 as well, I'm a fan.

What's happenin everybody, I know there's a lot of Buckcherry fans on this board.....saw Buckcherry back in 2001 on the Time Bomb tour.....Got this shirt, autographed by all members of Buckcherry, been sitting on a hanger in my closet for bout 5 years....never worn...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8387528295&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

You think it's guns n roses related?  : ok:

this thing is locked/moved or deleted faster than i can click "post" ?:beer:

Shouldnt this be in appetite for collection? Oh wait, it isnt even GNR related.

I only have one album the one with Lit Up in it... excellent album.... they rock...

ok pricks, lay off... it is in the Bad Obsession thread, so shut the hell up./... :rofl:

there music has a very classic rock n roll sound.. i think similar to very early aerosmith or the black crows.. some songs have a bit of a hairband feel.. not really giving them much justice.. . pm me if anyone wants a listen to the new album thats not released in US yet.. if you like "deep" music about how your life sux that you get paid millions to play music and bang hot groupies everynight.. then you prob won't like.. if your into songs about sex, drugs and rock n roll then you will def like them

I love buckcherry....prob the closest thing to real rock out there right now...for a while actually.  The first disc was great, some really kick ass rock tunes.  TimeBomb has a few decent songs on it.  Haven't heard 15 yet, but I dig Crazy Bitch, fun song.  I like some of Josh Todd's solo stuff too.

I downloaded 15 and just recently got around to listening to it. Right now, I think it's even better than their first album. I don't think there are any hits on it like "Lit Up" and "For The Movies" but its a more solid album. I really love the song "Carousel" from 15.

Where did you download it from?

I'll pm you since I am not sure if I can post it here.

Could you hooke me up with that too? Please :)

Apparently this song is going to be huge.
I heard that stations are getting huge amounts of Payola to play this bad boy.
It also has a huge internet following.

heard it thought it sucked.

Is that song really allowed to be played on the radio ??? WTF

what happened to the days when singers could subtley insert references to sex and drugs into their lyrics huh?

IMHO, it's tasteless and only written as shock value to listeners. I was seriously thinking about checking out this band until i heard this song, now I'm not interested.

I hope it doesn't become huge :no: cuz then I'll have to change the radio station twice an hour.

Everyone should buy this song on iTunes to help get it to the top of the Top 100 songs of the day!!!

Let this song be as it is. It's not really about shock value, but rock. The album is very good, you should give BC a try.

well..sorry to say, but that ship sailed looooooooong ago... ;D

I know but hearing garbage like this brings back memories of good song writers and it pains me, it pains me to realize those days are gone :'(

the seong is so catchy, they had better promote the hell out of this song

i like it, i will check out their new album.

i hope the4 song stops its freefall out of the top 100

Is there new album out yet?

in japan yes, not in the states until april 11th

there first album is there best... like i said before.. nothing groundbreaking.. just solid rock n roll.. they prob my second fav band after gnr..  it used to be pearl jam.. but i cant stand it when a band tried to force politics on you... or pretend they hate fame ect... thats why i love bands from the 80s... if you like gnr, the crue, early areosmith ect... you'll prob like bc

could someone send me either their newest one or the last one? : ok:

just pmed it over to you.. anyone know a better way to send things other than yousendit?

can someone pm me some of there songs? i've never heard of them until now.

lit up was a pretty big hit in the late 90's

Their first album did go gold.

I ordered it on ebay for 5.50 total.

I can't wait to get it. They are playing at the final 4 in indy.

Their biggest hit was Lit Up

Ridin' went to #9 on the mainstream rock chart in 2001

Right now, Crazy bitch jumped from 31 to #25 last week and charts just came out today, and it's jumped from #25 to #19 this week.

Right on... might have to get the new album...

oh, I'm beginning to hear it on KROQ a lot now.  One of the dj's made a point of telling everyone to check out Buckcherry.

The lyrics are too repetitive, but the music is great and I like the song.

Ya how big was Lit Up?
I wouldn't really know because I wasn't into Rock, or music in general 'till a few years ago when it became my life.

My friend played me Immigrint Song which eventually led to my discovery of Sweet Child... that changed my life.

im not sure how big it was, but its a song thats known by alot of people, even if they don't know its buckcherry

I didnt' like the new disc at all when I first heard it, but after giving it another go I am pretty happy with it.  Not as good as their first disc and there are a few tracks that are pretty crappy, but over all its got some good tunes.  Just fun, attitudey rock.  I think Crazy Bitch is the best rock song on the CD though.  Carousel is a great song too.

im hoping to see them tommarow night at the whisky

They are playing more shows in tehU.S.

I'll hope to see them in Nashville.

Buckcherry's new album gets released tonight at midnight. I think I'm going to pick it up. Sounds good (from the demo clips)

I like "Sorry" a lot.

Pick it up; it's good.

I did get their new album. It was apparently made in 15 days.

Anyways, I've listened to 8 of the 11 tracks. It's pretty good. I liek it.

"Sorry" is a great song, so if "Next 2 you" and "Carosuel"

Good album, their best yet.

Just curiousity here...
Buckcherry is still around -- they are playing the HOB in Atlantic City this month...is that skinny, tattooed lead singer still with 'em?

Yes, he is. His name is Josh Todd and he was at one point working with Slash, Duff and Matt in an early version of what would become Velvet Revolver (just in case you didn't already know that). He left Buckcherry and I believe they split up for a while as a result, and then got back together without the original bass player and drummer. Anyway, Buckcherry have a new album out called "15". It's not great, it's really just "more of the same", but sometimes that's all you want and all you need. Josh Todd's also got a solo album out. It's worth checking out.

i wonder what the sales numbers for the first week will be like

Heard a new song of theirs on ESPN 2's Cold Pizza and THANK GOD SCOTT WEILAND IS THE FRONTMAN FOR VELVET REVOLVER.

It was an ok song but nothing spectacular.

I agree Scott is perfect for VR.

i think Axl would be perfect for VR.

I don't think he and Dave Kushner would get along :hihi:

Now that's funny.  :D

saw buckcherry twice in the last week & a half....awesome shows both times!! they are definitely worth checking out, and the new album is great!!

anyone who doesn't like their new album "15" is a dumb-ass...got it the day it came out and it is not only buckcherry's best album yet, it's probably the best album to come out in years...period...

the lyrics in  "crazy bitch" are a little over the top...but you can't deny that the song kicks serious ass...great guitars and vocal melodies.

the rest of the album is awesome as well...in fact, most of the songs are even better than "crazy bitch"...if you like solid rock n roll, you'd be a fool not to buy the album.

HAHAHA...that's a good one....payola?  who's paying the stations?  buckcherry isn't even on a major label in the U.S. - so unless the band members are "paying" the radio stations with their own pocket change, i highly doubt there is any payola going on. 

this band purposefully went with an independent label in the U.S. because they got screwed by their last label (dreamworks)...then the label shut down suddenly and they were out on their asses with no label right after releasing their second album...

for the new album, they didn't want to put the success of their music in the hands of corporate douches who could screw them over on a whim.

i don't blame them...

Buckcherry? they're the Rose Tattoo coverband that stole their name from Chuck Berry? ;D
nah, they're allright!

I believe there is some truth to their name honouring Chuck.

They really blew up the charts.

Debut at number 48!!!!!!!!!! :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:


Thank God once again for Scott Weiland!

yep, it's pretty obvious : ok:

actually...surprisingly, their name has nothing to do with chuck berry....

in the late 90's when they were playing clubs in L.A., a transvesite by the name of "buck cherry" used to frequent some of the clubs that they played...that's where they got the idea for the name.

Ha! Well, there you have it
 :beer:

These guys kick so much ass.  The new album is really friggin' good.  I saw them last week and they were awesome, although their set was only an hour and ten minutes.  Has that been their normal length on this tour or was the show I went to unusually short for some reason?

just got back from vegas.. and two things about buckcherry fired me up... the first was hearing crazy bitch being blasted at a bar called the rainbow.. accros the street from the hard rock.. and the second wich was a suprise.. hearing "anything" being blasted on the casino floor of the hardrock..   the rainbow also played lit up... but that is a bit more common..  they seem to be pretty popular there.. and rightfully so..  they stand for what vegas is all about...

A bands greatness has nothing to do with chart position!!!  :rant:

I like 15, it's got a couple fillers but I love the majority (tracks 12356791011).? It's a pretty cool guitar album, I like alot of the rhythm parts with the stop start action.? Probably my favorite intro and verse is #3 but favorite solo is #9 and overall would be CB and Next to You.? ?

The record store guy I talked to, who knows his shit when I talk to him about every other week, told me that they underestimated the selling of this album and didn't make enough copies and didn't send out enough from what he's heard from other record stores.? Maybe this has something to do with their low chart position.?

For those that have seen them live, how are their shows and what kind of energy do they have?? I'd imagine they just blow up the place.? I missed them earlier this year and am still kicking myself.

[raising their ever-important post count by responding to everyone who disagrees with their thoughts on an 80's punk band that turned into a band geared towards selling albums with a great guitarist and rhythm section, but with a singer who flat out can't sing.And what band would that be?  Because if you're speaking about Axl, you're tone deaf. :yes:

to the gentleman who thought buckcherry's debut chart position wasn't all that impressive. I work at best buy and every store in the chain is sold out or very limited in the amount of copies. Considering this is the first release for an indie label and the album has had absolutely no promotion of any kind, other than sending the single to radio and touring like madmen there has been no corporate push to promote this thing at all. If you look at most albums from bands on indie labels they chart very low and stick around or never at all. And now that's what i call music has sold more copies in the last ten years than guns n roses, i suppose that means they are much better than gnr or anyone short of the backstreet boys.
raven

Quote the Raven...nevermore.

                    I have all Buckcherry's albums. I have to admit Todd can really wail and I love tracks #4 & #5 ON 15. This is a good release for Buckcherry because the band hasn't been seen in years and its a small indie label.

i've had this cd for quite a long time. it was released in Japan back in October. I was so fucking happy to find out that they are back!! now, they need to be the opener for GnR on their USA tour.

i've seen them twice in concert and they absolutely rocked the place. The first time i saw them i was actually giving Keith cigarettes throughout the show. He hooked me up with guitar picks in return.

Does the US release of 15 include "back in the day" and "pump it up"?

no, the us release only has the 11 tracks, but "back in the day" n "pump it up" are awesome...i heard pump it up is a cover...i would also love to see buckcherry open for GNR,ive seen them twice on this tour n they are a great live band, but their schedule it booked through june i think,

Question for you gnrslave...how long was their set the two times you saw them?  I saw them once on this tour and they were excellent, but they only played for a little more than an hour.

ok, listened to there first album, 3rd album and a live bootleg, they absolutly rock!!!!

Pump it up is an Elvis Costello cover, for the record.

If anyone needs the 2 tracks not on the USA release, just let me know.

Question for you gnrslave...how long was their set the two times you saw them? I saw them once on this tour and they were excellent, but they only played for a little more than an hour.

hey rob, the irving plaza show was 1hr 15 minutes, but the starland show was even shorter, only like 50 min-1hr at most, it (starland) was the last show b4 they cancelled a few dates cuz of joshs illness though. i was just glad they played, there were rumblings going around that they werent even gonna go on, but they did and while it was a short set, it was still awesome!

Yeah, it was a short set at Starland...that was the one I was at.  I timed it at about an hour and ten minutes.  I didn't realize Josh was sick though.  I guess we're lucky we got to see them at all.

Hi guys, I wanted to know in how many movies has Josh todd appeared? Ive seen him once in a small role  in a teenager movie...

he was also in the Banger Sisters.

i think he was in sultons of the sea... or something like that... 

it was "the salton sea" with val kilmer

man I just listened to 15 for the first time in over a week, and this album really flows. 

What do you guys think will be the next single?  Carousel or Sorry? 

Of course we'd all prefer rockers to be singles but that doesn't happen in the radio world so I'm guessing 'sorry' will be their next 'for the movies'. 

If they don't release "Sorry" the album will flop.

Period.

Yeah I think you're right from a selling standpoint.  I'm trying to not listen to Sorry just because I know that's all we're going to be hearing on top 40 radio the next 6 months. 

haha... i was kinda close... thanks for the correction

also i think Next to you will be the next single... i'm not sure if thats official or not.. but there is a video for this... i'll try to find a link for it... i think that its a good choice for a second single... then release sorry. carousel or everything.. as a third... thats a pretty good 1,2 ,3 punch..
would it be completely assinine to rerelease riddin and a slow song from time bomb?  i mean.. once this album runs it course.. i think there are some really good songs on that album too that got totally over looked when they released.. porno star was funny but a terrible song to release.. timebomb is an awsome song too.... so is slammin

Yeah I agree with you on Next 2 You as a single, I think it will be released third however, and then if it gets to a fourth it'll be Carousel.  I don't think record companies have time to sit on a top 40 hit like Sorry, although it may be different with these guys since they're independent. 

That's cool about the video for N2Y, I didn't know that. 

here is a link to both videos..
http://www.buckcherry.com/video/

It was called "The New Guy"... Check it out... Gene Simmons, Tommy Lee, Rollins, and Josh all have cameos.....

i definitely agree with sorry as the third single, next 2 u is the second single as they already played it on cd usa and have a n2u e card thingy on their site.  if they were to go 4 singles deep (which i think they definitely could), i would love to see brooklyn as the 4th single, but thats probly cuz im a new yorker lol!

looks like buckcherry got signed by atlantic records.. this is great news for the band.. hopefully this will push them into the mainstream.. here is the article

Acclaimed Rockers Buckcherry Ink With Atlantic Records; Deal Launches With Current Hit Album, "FIFTEEN"

NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/10/2006 -- Acclaimed rock 'n' roll band Buckcherry has joined Atlantic Records via a long-term deal with Eleven Seven Music. The worldwide pact (excluding selected territories) launches with the band's current hit album, "FIFTEEN," which will be marketed by Lava/Atlantic Records effective immediately.

Atlantic Head of A&R Andy Karp commented: "The reemergence of Buckcherry is an exciting moment in modern rock 'n' roll. They are a great band that has yet to realize their full potential, and 'FIFTEEN' is a fantastic record that is already bringing them the recognition and success they have long deserved. We are thrilled to welcome Buckcherry into the Atlantic family."

Allen Kovac, CEO of Eleven Seven Music, noted: "The first lesson in artist development is make a great CD. Buckcherry has done that with Eleven Seven, and we are excited to be working with the Atlantic team on taking this CD to the next level."

"FIFTEEN," the band's first studio album in four years, was released in the U.S. last month on Eleven Seven Music in association with ADA, a Warner Music Group company. Featuring the current rock radio smash, "Crazy Bitch," the album debuted at #2 on the Independent Album Chart, #9 on Top Alternative Albums (highest debut of the week), as well as #48 on the Billboard 200, marking the band's best sales week and chart position to date. The single has bulleted into the top five at active and mainstream rock radio, into the top thirty at alternative rock outlets, and is continuing to build momentum.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1995, Buckcherry broke onto the national scene in 1999 with the release of their self-titled debut album. The critically acclaimed set scored such Modern Rock hits as "Lit Up," "Check Your Head," and "For The Movies," while fans and industry insiders alike celebrated the band's refreshingly direct, no-holds-barred return to pure rock 'n' roll. In the summer of 2001, Buckcherry released "TIME BOMB," which was followed by a stint opening for one of their long time heroes, AC/DC.

In 2005, following a three-year hiatus, Buckcherry reformed with founding members Josh Todd (vocals) and Keith Nelson (guitar), who are joined by new recruits Stevie D. (guitar), Jimmy Ashhurst (bass), and Xavier Muriel (drums). "FIFTEEN" is titled after the number of days that it took the band to record the album.

Buckcherry is currently in the midst of an extensive North American tour. For more information, please go to www.buckcherry.com

this is the best album of the year so far! they deserved the atlantic deal.

                   Buckcherry deserve all the success for making one of the best albums of 2006. With Atlantic the band may get the media push they've always deserved !

Buckcherry is offically big.
For like a week now I haven't turned on the radio without hearing "Crazy Bitch" atleast once.

RELEASE BROOKLYN!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q5DX9_rL9w&search=Buckcherry

NEXT 2 YOU MUSIC VIDEO.
Looks like thats gonna be the next single... Hopefully they're not stupid enough to release it while Crazy Bitch is finally gaining steam.

Yeah their album debuted at 48, and D made fun of that... thats #48 on a indie label... lmao.

That's really good actually. I can't believe he dissed a solid rock album. then it's maintained 58-67 on the charts. I call Gold status in 3 months.

I love this cd

ive listened to all there albums and im now a big fan.

i cant understand why theres so much hate towards timebomb, that fucking rocks!

I like it, but it does'nt have the agression of the other two I find.

Indy labels such as Epitath have shipped. 8 million for Smash. I'm not sure about 1st week sales, but if you want it you'll get it.

in my oppinion i find the 2nd album to be the heaviest album, stronger riffs, less nice chorus's.

the third album "15" isnt as heavy....but its damn funky

There not on an indie label anymore.
Atlantic is pushing them like crazy. There number 4 on the Mainstream Rock charts and climbing.

Yeah, I saw that. I assume they are going to break it even more with "Crazy Bitch". The song finally broke "mainstream" last week and its current #99 in the U.S. and #4 on the mainstream rock chart. That mainstream rock chart is loaded with quality music.

Go Buckcherry. I believe "Sorry" can be a top 40 hit. What do you guys think?

Not a chance.
There hasn't been a hard rock song in the top 40 for a long time know. "Slither" didn't even crack the top 40.

You would be surprised. I will call it now, not as a top 40 hit but I say "Sorry" makes the top 60 for sure.

Rock out

I'd be suprised if anything that a reunited Guns N' Roses line up (as in the actual GN'R) put out made the top 20 of the Hot 100... So ya, Buckcherry making the top 60 isn't impossible but it is quite unprobable.

PROVE ME WRONG JOSH!

Umm.... :rofl:
There first album is a fucking classic......
15 is ok, but nowhere near as good as the first one with
Lit up
Check your Head
For the movies
Dirty Mind

Opinion.
I think Fifteen is superior to there debut.

If Fifteen had Lit Up on it I'd rank it as the best album since Illusions.

  Are you serious?   15 has 3 good tracks and that is pushing it....I've seen Buckcherry 15 times in 4 different states, I am a HUGE BC fan, but 15 is not better than the debut....
15 is being panned by critics and fans alike, where as the debut was being compared to AFD, and they were being compared to GNR

15 is a good album, but not their best..

Again... It's all about opinion.
After giving both a good listen I've decided to put them around the same level.

Lit up is an amazing song though...

Bought 15 today and absolutely love it. Every song front to back kicks butt!

This album is clearly their best effort, their highest peaking album, and soon will be their first platium album.

I think I'm gonna check Buckcherry out.

Which album should I buy first? Their new one or their debut? They have 3 albums, don't they?

Yeah, they have 3.  My personal favorite is the first album.  However, I think all three of them are awesome, and are pretty much on the same level.  You can't go wrong with any of them.

Alright thank you, sir.

I agree.  15 is ok - its called 15 b/c they recorded it in 15 days, and at times it sounds like it.  Their first album is FAR AND AWAY their best effort.  Simply amazing disc that still stands up to time and repeated listens.  I think Time Bomb and 15 are kinda on the same level, but the first disc blows them both out of the water.

Drink the water is such a great song. 

15 is still MUCH better then most of the crap out there now though.

For you BC fans out there, if you haven't heard "Lit Up" live from woodstock (I think thats where my boot is from??) try to find it.  AWESOME version.

Listen to me, and listen to me now. Spend your money on the new release "15". DOn't by the first one. If I didn't get it for 5.80 on ebay then I would regret it. It's worth 6 bucks (the first album) but not 12 or 13.

Anyways, get the first album if you like the newer one. First buy the newer album though. Don't buy the first one.

15 rocks!

its hard for me to chose what album is the best... i used to think that timebomb was the weakest.. but ridin', slamin', and timebomb are some of there best songs..   i really like crazy bitch.. but i think there first is there best.. i don't think you would be disappointed with any of them though..

True, if you like BCs sound, all three albums are enjoyable....but the first one has the highest number of REALLY good songs.  Its edgier and harder then the last two as well if you ask me.

Why is everyone stuck on the first BC album?

It isn't that good. It's alright. The first album has about 4 solid songs compared to "15" where it has about 8 solid songs.

15 is their highest peaking album at #48, it has spawned their ONLY Top 100 hit with "Crazy Bitch" at #97 currently and it's just  the best album.

The first album is vague, weak. It's a decent buy for 6 bucks like I said.

nah....first album was awesome....second was a step back - most of the songs were too repetitous...but the new one is at least as good as the first...

here are my ratings for each album (on a scale of 1-10):

1st album (self titled):? ? 9

2nd album (time bomb):? ? 7

3rd album (15):? ? 9

why are you so stuck on "15"?   8 "solid songs"?....I don't know about that.  Which ones are you talking about?

I find it hard to believe that LIT UP didn't break the top 100.  Easily BC's biggest and best song.

i think there albums all sound the same so i dont really say ones better than the other. i just enjoy them all.

if there are so many arguments over which album is the best, i think thats a pretty good sign of how good this band is!! what is definitely undisputable is that they're a great live band and put on a terrific show!! ill be there for my 3rd bc show 7/1 in A.C.!!

I'm just hoping that Crazy Bitch isn't like Lit Up and that after the single is pulled BC doesn't fall of the face of the earth.

Sorry will be a smash if they release it.  For The Movies was a pretty big hit along with Lit Up, they played it all the time on the radio

15 is the best true rock album I've heard at least since Contraband

Sorry isn't a hard rock song and has boatloads more mass appeal than Slither

Wow, I saw Buckcherry live last week and what a show.  Josh Todd is one of the best frontmen I've ever seen live, he works the crowd as well as anyone I've seen, he has loads of charisma and personality on the stage.  And his vocals were flawless

Buckcherry rocks!

buckcherry are one of the best rock bands around atm. but they dont beat roadstar.

Next 2 You is the next single.
They should have gone with Sorry.

Whatever... the video is on youtube if you wanna check it out.

i get to watch them in edmonton next week.  can't wait.   :hihi:

Josh Todd said there will be at least 3-4 videos and singles for the album so Sorry will probably be next.  They should release Sorry with Brooklyn as the B-side.  I'm sure they will release Sorry during the summer with a big video for it.  Next 2 You is a good single, but it sounds too much like that Jet song for my liking

im just pissed cuz the north american release cut 2 of the songs that the european release had.... but overall, i'd agree with whoever said this is there best effort, but overall BC kick ass

Funny you say that, Pump It Up sounds alot like "wild wild west" (forget the band who sang it, not koo moe dee though, haha). 

Carousel would be a MUCH better choice then sorry for a single after next to you (which I think is a great second single - great rock song for hanging out in a dirty pub)

I don't think that Carosel would be a better single...

"Sorry" has all that a power ballad is, it will be their best charting song, I'm sure. It has that potential. Watch it soar.

I know this song has it all for them. I hope it does well. I think that Crazy Bitch is going to stall soon. It peaked from 94 to 92 this week. I think it will start falling soon.

Peace

In the interview I was talking about I think Todd said the next two singles after Crazy Bitch were Next 2 You and Sorry, and then they'd probably have a 4th and he mentioned Everything and Carousel as possible 4th singles, at least that's what I remember, that might not be 100% accurate  :beer:

maybe the new lable is waiting for the second single to start the heavy promotion.. i hope they add unreleased bsides when they release the upcoming singles..

i just saw buckcherry last night and they were great.  i have been a long time fan but this was my first time seeing them live.  They are very entertaining and josh todd is full of energy.  i was hoping there were some other fans out there that had any lossless audio shows or dvd's of the band.  i all ready own a couple shows from them but nothing from the '06 tour.  here's hoping someone can help me out.  check out my site and see if a trade could be done.  thanks in advance.

i second that id love to have a 2006 show. ive only got house of blues on timebomb tour.

Update on BC.

"Crazy Bitch" is now up to #81 in America. Their biggest single ever. The album has also peaked at #46 in America.

This in itself, without even releasing "Sorry" which is the best song... is showing that these guys and this album is for real.

BC rock!

The crass and misogynistic lyrics and catch chorus of Crazy Bitch should appeal to the youth of America  :hihi:  I don't think it's one of their better songs but it gets stuck in your head

"crazy bitch" is now at #3 on the billboard mainstream rock charts!!!!!!!!!?

the only bands ahead of them are tool and red hot chili peppers

they knocked off godsmack to take the 3rd spot.

it is a huge deal for this song to be staying at the top among some of the biggest bands of the past decade.

their album sales continue to rise, along with the popularity of the single.

this is only the beginning of what will be the biggest thing to hit rock in years...

lol your going over the top i think.

Good music gets no where, you should know this by now.

Haha, I love that song!!

The new album is at # 46 on Billboard.

the first album is by far better,  yet this fucking record gets attention

^Imo only Lit Up was a great song the rest is not strong at all, on the whole 15 is their best.

yeah its disappointing as the first disc was really solid - 15 is ok, but def not their best effort.  Still, just goes to show you people are starved for good old rock n' roll.  Maybe people who are checking out 15 will look into the older stuff too...

Glad to hear its still trucking on.

As for the biggest thing to hit rock in years?  :hihi:  Come now, thats a bit of an overstatement don't you think?

Well the first album did sell well, Lit Up and For The Movies were both moderate hits and the album went gold.  I think that 15 is a very good album, almost every single song on it is good.  I usually skip over songs 4 and 8 but the rest of the songs are good.  So Far, Out Of Line, Sunshine, Brooklyn and Broken Glass are the real standouts, Carousel and Sorry are good mellow love songs, Crazy Bitch is incredibly catchy even though it isn't a great song.  But it's a very good album.  Of course the debut album is great because every single song is good.  When I listen to it there aren't any songs I skip.  Time Bomb has some rockin songs on it too

I dont know if this has already been posted and I cant be bothered to trawl through all 15 pages but  there's the whole gen on Buckcherry reformation on pages 58-60 of Classic Rock May 2006 issue.  Feature of Axl with shotgun on the front.

bah buckcherry own what can i say.

everything is best slow song ive heard in years.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nezKNTp_zi4

that is interesting, early days live buckcherry, lit up, they speed it up lol, you can tell they had just started, good performance but the tokyo one owns....due to his swearing.

and a performance *cam shot though* of crazy bitch live

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqLLhd9UZA8

anyone goin to see buckcherry saturday at house of blues in A.C.?!! i cant wait!!

15 climbed to #43 on the charts, Crazy Bitch is #13 on the Modern Rock charts and #4 on Mainstream Rock

Seems like they're content to ride the Crazy Bitch wave for now, it's not a bad idea.  Once Sorry hits the airwaves, this album will really take off, so they might as well get as much out of Crazy Bitch as they can

Yes as reported above, the album is currently #43 on the charts

And the single "Crazy Bitch" is #61 in the U.S.

This message is for all those non-believers... believe

Just in!....

Buckcherry's new album has climbed to its peak position at #42 this week on the charts.

The single "Crazy Bitch" has now peaked at #59 this week also.

It's a great week for BC fans!!!!!!!

I listen to this album about 5 times a week and still am not sick of it after 2 months.  I love the bridges in all the songs, that's where I think Josh is his best.  Also, it was probably just me but today I was listening to Sorry and felt a little bit of Axl in Josh's deliverance.  I'm sure it was just me but the way he holds certain syllables is reminiscent of Axl for me.  Very cool. 

Yeah, this album really is solid. It's an album that has been a missing piece from the rock today.

That is why it's held from 42-65 on the charts. And also why Crazy Bitch has climbed each week from #99 to this week #59 in 12 weeks. This is a true progressive album. Wait until "Sorry" I'm sure it will spill the glass.

i liked it alittle more when buckcherry werent known by many people. now it seems everyone knows them

Buckcherry are really great.  I hope they will release another album in 2007.

Another great band that almost have the same style as Buckcherry are "Beautiful Creatures". Great band.

Unfortunatly the creatures' debut didn't sell enough, and their follow up sucks. They are done, and it is  because the guitarist left.

Well their album "15" is everything an album is. Debuted at a decent number (45) and has stayed between 65-42 since. the single has slowly climbed every week for 2 months.

BC's new album is already a success.

Thats awesome.  I wonder how the word is getting out about them.  Not like they are playing any major festivals, they aren't getting any video play, I guess its all radio?  Crazy bitch is a good tune, but its def time for another song.  I think a ballad right now would be a mistake.  People are DYING for kick ass, fun rock.  Next 2 you would be good and the vid is cool too.

Anyone a fan of JT's solo stuff?  I think its pretty awesome.  I can put it in a mix with BC songs and it fits just fine.  Shine, Lovely Bones, Mind Infection and Circles are good tunes.

Yeah I have "Everything", "Sorry", "Crazy Bitch" all on my iPod.

I love all those songs. I do believe that "Next 2 You" is the next single.

This album is awesome. I'm going to see them live in Louisville on the 27th.

ROCK OUT!

Correct. I love that song, you can watch the new video here:

Does somebody have some sweet Buckcherry videos live and would like to share? I don't want youtube, crappy quality.

If you have, please upload or add me at msn and send them to me. =)

Thanks

This week the new album "15" is at #41 on the charts.

"Crazy Bitch" is not sliding off, peaking at #59. Great job!

Just got two tix to the October 26th show at Webster Hall....should be a good show  : ok:

LOVE THEM!

Went to see them in Oxford, then went to London as a guest of Stevie D.

Me, Stevie, Ashley Redtop

Well I'll be seeing this band live at Inland.. even though I won't know too many songs... I'll try and enjoy em and post a review!

 :beer:

buckcherrys "crazy bitch" has finally been played on UK radio, (from what i hear daily anyway), by non other than bruce dickinson on his show!!!

There gonna be on next weeks show for a interview!!!!

They're okay...Lit Up is great, Crazy Bitch is catchy, but their albums have a lot of filler and people tend to overrate them as a "return to classic rock" etc. - I don't think they're that great. Good, yes. Great, no.

ill be at webster hall on otc 26!! cant wait!!

what did you guys think of their performance on the web cast?

Anybody have some Buckcherry 05 or 06 shows on cd and be willing to trade copies. : ok:

go over to there forums on there site. fuck loads of bootlegs.

Dude Beautiful Creatures second album rocks I own it. To the guy who said that you liked it better when no one knew about Buckcherry wtf? I don't get these people that want all their favorite bands to stay "underground". The band needs to sell albums to continue going and the more people that hear real music the better. I was  BC fan before crazy bitch and I see what you mean but man I think it's great they're selling a lot. The album is almost gold! I also disagree with the guy that said their albums have a lot of filler. On 15 I think there's only one song I would classify as filler and one I hate. The rest I listen to all the time. Buckcherry are awesomeness.

saw them live in new jersey, they rocked

The album is almost gold....

More people should really be talking about this band.

15 is definitely their best overall album, but they have a ways to go yet IMO.

Personally I like every song on 15 but Carousel and Sunshine and Carousel is just not a style of song I like. Some people like Sunshine but I think it's just a filler song that sounds like a generic rocker. I find their songs recognizable, memorable and out of all my albums I seem to listen to this one the most. I've got a lot of albums. Usually I listen to them for a month or two and then just put 'em on the rack and occasionally spend them. I've had this since like the day after it came out I think in April and I have yet to stop listening to it. I was listening to it just this morning actually. Besides there's not much else going on hard rock wise.I wanna see 'em live.

you n me both man.

Too bad they're pretty much stuck to touring clubs. I'm just crossing my fingers that they'll release sorry or everything as a single and it'll blow up huge like Hinder's "Lips Of An Angel" and then maybe they could tour in bigger places.

i hope they are the second openers for the second leg of the GN'R 06/07 tour!  (Baz being first, of course!)  ;D

I wish. They'd be great. The Halifax show doesn't even have Baz so we need someone good to make up for it. Not Papa Roach who's been added to MORE dates.

I MIGHT have an extra ticket to the NYC Webster Hall show.....anyone interested???

Buckcherry's label really dropped the ball by failing to follow up on Crazy Bitch with Sorry.  15's on the verge of slipping off the top 100.  They had a ton of buzz with Crazy Bitch and didn't capitalize

ive seen them 6 times since they got back together and each time they are amazing

Very good band. I prefer Buckcherry to Fifteen, but it's still a good album. Strong songwriting etc.

Crazy Bitch sucks ass though.

 i always liked crazy bitch before i even knew it was there single. its funky and fun.

I like crazy bitch but it's not one of my favorites. My favorite "rock" song off the album is probably "Onset". I love that song. I love all the songs 'cept for carousel and sunshine. I don't think Buckcherry's label dropped the ball by not released Sorry. I think they dropped the ball by not really promoting "Next 2 You". By the way for those who're interested they filmed a new video for "Next 2 You" by Buckcherry and it's avaliable online.

I think 'Sorry' could be a big hit.? i also think 'Out of Line' is a great track, and has hit potential.? it has a great vibe and great lyrics.

i agree that 'Onset' is the most rockin track on 15.?

'Crazy Bitch' is the most fun track on the album, and the lyrics obviously do a great job to draw attention and the young, hip crowd.

am i the only one who loves Time Bomb? it's still my favorite Buckcherry album.

I think next they should release either "Sorry" or "Everything". Either could be a big hit on the pop charts. I haven't heard Timebomb. I've heard the songs "Timebomb", "Slit My Wrists" and "{segue}Helpless" and like them though. I can't find it in stores. I hope they re-release it like they're re-releasing their first on Oct. 31.

yeah, i think 'Sorry' would be a big hit!  it has that feeling to it... hope it is a single, soon.

damn, i didn't know Timebomb was hard to find.  i have had it since it released, back in 01.  i love the album... i still can't figure out why it gets such bad reviews... but then again, it seems like the best stuff often gets poor reviews, imo.  i hope they re-release it, too!

i still think Buckcherry should be the second opener for GN'R during this tour.  they are a perfect fit, imo!!  SO much better than Papa Roach! (who only has one good song, imo)

just think, it would be Sebastian Bach, Buckcherry, and GN'R.  what an awesome lineup!!!

Y'know a lot of time history gets altered. Like with Motley Crue's generation swine. It wasn't a huge hit but it debuted at #4 on the charts and went gold + the tour was successful. Popular belief is that it was a complete and total bomb. This is the same for Timebomb I think. Most of the reviews I read for it were positive and the ones that weren't obviously just didn't like buckcherry or that genre of music. Plus the single reached like 7 on the mainstream rock track charts which is pretty good and they toured with AC/DC. I think it simply didn't sell that well because of lack of promotion because didn't Dreamworks fold while that album was out? The album's out of print. The only way I've heard people get it is online from the ocasional copy on ebay or some other store. I can't even find the debut. I saw it once but didn't buy it and then the next time it wasn't there. Luckily it's being re-released with the two bonus tracks {fastback 69 & Late nights in voodoo" that were on the Japanese release and with a bonus dvd that has a  bunch of videos and live performances. One of the videos must've gone unreleased because everyone has said they've never seen the video and I can't find it online. I can't wait to get it and then I believe they're going to re-release timebomb.

The album is officially gold according to Buckcherry's myspace! I think it'll go platinum!

Awesome!  :beer:

15 is a great album, better than kool-aid sweet.

good for them! Buckcherry's great.

how many sold records are gold?

in the US, 500 000.

I dunno if it's actually sold that many though. The RIAA does certifications based on how many records have been SHIPPED. Last I heard it sold 452 000. But if it didn't sell 500 000 it will for sure. Next to you's rising on the charts and the album stopped decreasing in sales and sold more last week and jumped from 103 to 97 on the billboard 200 I think.

next to you is a great single. if they release sorry as a single they will be set for the next year

I work at Barnes & Noble in Music and put this album on recommendation for about three or four hours. Then I pulled it down and put up Mule Variations by Tom Waits instead.  :rofl:

But for about four hours I did my part in the striving for Buckcherry sales.

They're not a great band but they're on their way. Sorry is Aerosmith-y.

To me they're already a great band.

Leaving work now.  See you mother fuckers there!  (there being Webster Hall tonight) hehe

just downloaded a show from philly 2006 20 july i think.. gonna watch it now :yes:

Great show.  The band sounded great and the crowd was really cool (a little small though unfortunately).  Crazy Bitch sounded awesome, I love the new stuff they added into it.  Dead Again rocked, porno star was amazing....good fun sleazy show  : ok:

yeah i enjoyed it as well, they rocked NYC last night!! i got the set list!!
setlist: (they cut slammin for some reason, it was supposed to be b4 lit up)
so far
broken glass
porno star
dirty mind
everything
sorry
crazy bitch
next 2 you
ridin'
brooklyn
dead again
baby
lit up

they must've cut onset too because all the other setlists I've seen have had it.

EDIT: Everyone go here http://www.vh1.com/shows/series/top_20_countdown/ and vote for Buckcherry. Or else shit like paris hilton will be played.

onset wasnt on the setlist for last nights show

Bummer. I love that song.

Buckcherry rock

I love Buckcherry. they remind me of GNR when they started out, very raw. they just flat out rock the house.

BC, especially when they first came out, were compared to GNR a lot.  Other then the rawness of their first album, I don't really see it too much.  AFD was angry and had that "dangerous" feel to it.  BC is more just raw, sleazy, sex, drugs and rock n' roll - rock.  Its a little more light hearted, not so deep. 

BC is definitely one of the few TRUE rock bands out there today though, glad to see them make a small comeback.  I think they should re-release crazy bitch, i think a lot of people still dont' know about it.  its a really catchy song.

it needs to get a release in the uk now the albums out over here.

Pro-shot?  ???

nope, but it was still good, both video and audio were OK, the setlist was:
So Far
Broken Glass
Porno Star
Fall
Everything
Sorry
Crazy Bitch
Next 2 You
Ridin'
Onset
Dead Again
For the Movies
Slammin'
Lit Up

Tomorrow the re-released self-titled album will hit stores.

buy it : ok:

listening to the first album, been ages, forgot how good it was! Ace album

I plan on it.

the re-released has ace dvd features, im getting it.

just wondering, has anyone heard crazy bitch live? really good, extra jams n stuff.

yeah, it was on the show i downloaded, so i didn't hear it live, but i heard it live if you know what i mean : ok:

well yeah thats the same way i heard it lol!.

Apparently it's coming out on Nov. 21 now.

can anyone here "remaster" songs.. I think the cover of Nasty  is really cool.. but the audio isnt the best.  here is the track for anyone who hasn't heard it.. and if anyone wants to give a shot cleaning it up.. that would be cool.. thanks

Nasty

damn it why wont buckcherry come to england.

They toured here a couple of months back dude.

Hmm, I hope when they add more dates they'll play here... but I doubt it, I might go out to Cincinnati to see them though...

how would i go about getting a petition going for them to come tour the UK, and actually get it to the band/management?

Ummm you wont need to.  They toured the UK in the latter part of 2006.  I've been told they'll be back sometime this year.

Emailing management would have no effect.  It's about whether it would make any money.......

well id doubt theyd sell out big gigs over here, half the people of my age hate rock music.

In 2006 they played about 5 gigs in the UK (I think).  I know the Oxford Zodiac and the Londen Underworld were both sold out - but they aren't exactly big venues..... a few hundred in each.

just booked my tickets for nottingham show, not liking the prospect of having to go up there, but if its the only chance to see buckcherry, its been done :D

OWWWW excited.

I'll be seeing them on 20th March in London baby  : ok:

SNAP

Have you guys heard L.A. Guns cover of Crazy bitch

Seriously?  :hihi: If true no but would like too!

haha nah, id love to hear it.

seeing them tommorow in sayerville, cant wait! 

Seeing them in April  :yes:

im also seeing them at starland tomorrow, should be a great show!!

that concert last night was fucking crazy! They opened with "So Far" and the place just went nuts! There were crowd surfers, mosh pits, you name it! My friend and I managed to get up to the front of the stage by the end of the show, we were on the right side with that crazy guitarist with the dreads and the tatoos. We were talking to him, going "You rock!' and he flashed us the rock on side. It was pretty awesome, and definetly a great night. The tickets were real cheap. if you like this band, I highly recomend you go and see them!

setlist from starland last night (in order):

so far
broken glass
porno star
fall
out of line
sorry
crazy bitch
next 2 you
ridin
dead again
everything
check your head
slamin'

encore: brooklyn
r
brookyln was a great encore, especially for the new yorkers like me!! 5th time i've seen buckcherry and they rock harder every time!!

Went to the gig in London on Tuesday. Thought Buckcherry played a great show....as did Backyard Babies. Will definitely go see them again. Well worth it  : ok:

Yeah, I was there too.  I think it was a real shame that BYB's suffered from the old 'support band gets shit sound' syndrome, cause their set was great and half of the crowd were there to see them rather than Buckcherry.

Buckcherry were great as always.  Stevie D is so animated, and that really adds to their show.  Keith was also much more mobile than usual.

im seeing them tonight at nottingham, i hope i get there in time. Cant wait!!

Make sure to give us a review.

I was there too. Top show. Set list pretty similar (idential?) to London. Although there was no encore.

Josh was jumping around something crazy parts of the time but other times looked a little bored.
Crazy bitch killed (and I almost got killed in the crowd) and was excellent. Lit up as expected went down well.
I got right to the front quite quickly and it wasn't too hard to stay there. There was some moshing and some guy got kicked out for crowd surfing. Another guy got on stage and got taken out ultra quick by security (like something from a Segal movie or something).

Backyard Babies were excellent too and I think made a lot of new fans. Got the crowd warmed up really well.
A good night - they are at Download so check em out if your going.

-Greg

nottingham was a fucking insane gig!!!

probably the most voilent crowd ive ever dealt with haha, but it was a bloody awesome gig, josh was on top form, though he didnt have a mad rambling or endless stream of swearing during the middle of lit up which was dissapointing cause it makes me laugh.

what did you think of backyard babies?

boring. totally, they didnt do anything for me, the crowd were going wild for them but i couldnt see what was that good, the singer didnt have the charisma to make me think "yeahhh rock n roll" and the music was boring and very same-ish each song, IMO.

lame opinion :P :hihi: each their own i guess (did i use that correct?)

Ya see, I kinda have the opposite feeling.  I love Buckcherry, but I think Backyard babies pull off the 'rock n roll' thing as completely natural - wheras Buckcherry try really hard to look rock n roll, but come off a bit cheesey.  Backyard Babies songwriting is also superior in my opinion (hence why Buckcherry have somgwriters help them out on the songs that are hits'.

I think both bands are great. 

"punk rock" as its called has been totally overdone for me....

If you own 15 you probably haven't looked at the linear notes then.   

This is from the official biography on the Atlantic Records website:

"You can hear that intensity on the opening salvo of 'So Far' and in 'Next 2 You,' a collaboration between Josh, Keith, Jimmy Ashhurst and songwriter Marti Fredrickson (Aerosmith). "

and

"there's also the Bic-flicking, Marti Frederickson co-written power ballad, 'Sorry,' "

So there ya go.

Oh, and Crazy Bitch was written when the original band were still together.  It doesn't bother me anyway - I like all of their albums and think they are a good band.  I personally feel that Backyard Babies write better songs.

i just saw on hinders official website that this summer they're touring with papa roach and buckcherry!!!! it's called "the bad boys of rock n roll" tour or something like that, im definitely going when they hit NYC!! wasnt a big fan of p. roach until their new album, which kicks ass, i recently discovered hinder, another great rock band, and ive been hooked on buckcherry since '01. should be a great tour!!

hinder. the "we claim to be rock n roll but we infact sound like nickleback and all our songs are slow" poser band.

Damn it.  Buckcherry should know better.

Those are two songs that Mart added to. But of course neither of them are hits. Maybe "Next 2 You" but that's a minor rock hit at best and the lowest charting of the 3 released from 15. Buckcherry wrote Lit Up, Crazy Bitch and Everything themselves which are/were hits. Just saying.

Damn, 15 has made its way back into the 80's on the Billboard charts.  That's cool

got tix to see them 5/29 @ The Bluenote in Columbia,MO  Reserved balcony

great band, can't wait to see them in such a small venue, the bluenote may hold 500..so it should be a kickass show

i was in the crowd for quite a small show, very aggressive fighting type crowd, it was fun though!

im thinking of going to see the tour in vegas

does anyone know where i can get the electric version of brooklyn? i dont see it on itunes

electric version?

my floor days are over...officially after the 5/14 GnR performance at Hammerstein.. now days when i go to shows my girlfriend wants to go but she suffers from anxiety and the surge at the 5/14 show was pretty intense being front row center, mid way thru rocket queen she about passed out and she had to get pulled over, which meant i had to get pulled over and i was fuckin pissed.. standing in that line from 10 am to enjoy 20 minutes of a show and the rest of the time being in the back. No More Floor for me

did anyone notice in late april buckcherry finally got  platinum  album sales for 15?

I did not notice that...that is awesome....the first record should have gone platinum....im happy for them...i always followed them as a band even after they broke up..i saw them at starland ballroom last year right after 15 came out....15 was on an indie label last year....then atlantic picked it up when they saw how it was selling....but starland ballroom was empty last year when i saw them.....and now they are packing places again....good stuff

Is there any word on Buckcherry's next album?  I would imagine they'd have another one coming out sometime in the next year or so, any word if they've been writing songs or been in the studio?

im worried bout the next album, ive got a feeling they are gonna sell out n go pretty commercial now they have had that hit.

i highly doubt they will change there sound

"Everything" has been getting tons of airplay here in Canada.

I don't care if they sell out of not, that term is overused so much. The only band to TRULY sell out in my opinion is Green Day.

Buckcherry's album rules, the previous 2 are ok. The 2nd one is lackluster in every way though.

They've only had 1 major hit with "Crazy Bitch". "Everything" is still like #4 on the mainstream rock chart, not on the main chart quite yet.

Is they want another top 100 hit, they need to release "Sorry", best song on the album.

I think I'm going to get tickets to the bad boy tour in Louisville.

i think there was an interview and they said that were writing on the road.. and had a ton of left over tracks from 15..and should have a new album by 08.
i used to think the self titled album was the best.. but there really isn't a bad song on 15.  i think next to  you is the best but they all are good.. timebomb is the weakest but prob the best album released during that awful time in music.  my third fav band behind gnr and pearl jam (91-98). 

Nice to hear they are working on new stuff.  I agree about 15 not having any weak songs but the self-titled is still their best album.  15 though was the best pure rock album that I heard from last year though.  Buckcherry are my favorite contemporary rock band, their music has real energy and attitude and they are great live.  It's great that their album is selling well, they deserve it, hopefully they can keep the momentum rolling with the next album

yeah if they have too much if a gap they will fade out like the darkness did.

does anyone have the video webcast from Buckcherry at the download festival from Friday June 8??

Thanks

could've asked in the Download thread or the buckcherry thread : ok:

Just got the album, 15.. Really liked it , kind of wish I 'd known  about them before..  :beer: 

now you do, thats whats importent!

Buckcherry is one of the greatest rockbands out there nowadays, they got attitude, the style and songs that rock the shit out of you, hoping on a new album soon, can't wait to here som new stuff

tiger from gnrsweden is joing us on htgth :D welcome posting dude even though you've been a member a long time ;)

b'cherry kix major ass

frontside in the speakers at the moment :headbanger:

whats your fav song off timebomb?

id say mine is slammin

porno star man :hihi:

it's just so nasty to sing a long.. i love it :D (nasty in an awesome way)

cool man, i love the chorus to slammin, it feels like summer all the time i hear it....shame english weather is far from sun lately XD

Glad to see some other people like that album.  It tends to get slammed, but I quite enjoy it.  Not sure about a favorite track.  Whiskey In the Morning is certainly in touch with the rock n' roll lifestyle.  :hihi:

i wish the buckcherry/hinder/papa roach tour would come to nyc!!

i cant see what the hate for the album is, its a stripped down ac/dc/aerosmith sounding buckcherry album it rocks.

Best song on timebomb is Ridin' or Slit My Wrists

http://bc.thebattlehasjustbegun.com/index.html

click mp3's on that site and during a special period of time every month.. you can download rare songs or live performances of songs.. this month it is "whiskey in the morning" live and "pump it up"

sometimes there's songs from slamhound wich i think is josh todds band before buckcherry..

anyway wanna say thanks to tiger from gnrsweden and here on htgth who showed me the site and i thought i could show it to you guys if you didn't know about it

i have slamhounds album.

is it good?

meh, its funny n over the top, theres no way josh could really scream like he does on that album

Ridin is real good. I would say it is up there. Slit my wrists is just ok to me tho. Still I think Timebomb is their best and one of my favorite albums. But the highlights for me are the title track, whiskey in the morning, porno Star, and Slammin'. I could never get tired of any of those songs. Only track I don't really love is You. Honestly I love Buckcherry but I never like how they do ballads. They can't seem to find that middleground. Their rockers are so bad ass it's wonderful but then the ballads always end up sounding wussy to me. "Baby" on the first album is great but I don't think I would consider it a ballad. "Sorry" is awful. It sounds like Styx coulda recorded it.

I like their ballads.  I'm always infinitely more tolerant of a ballad, when I know the band has some serious rock credibility.  But a band that JUST puts out sappy love songs?  Nah, that makes for a boring album.

all Buckcherrys songs is fuckin' great, fuck i want a new album

do you have it burned or the real thing 8), i have searched all around for the cd, i just have the songs on my computer

downloaded from a forum board for me, i had no idea before i read his name in brackets by it.

i showed cheapjon the buckcherry page 8)

yeah and i'm glad you did ;) waiting eagerly for 31 july so i can download some rare josh todd :hihi:

I would love to see Buckcherry with GnR but the party after could be dangerous!

yeah he got some great shit

damn i'm crazy downloading from this site http://bc.thebattlehasjustbegun.com/mp3.html

thats a cool site!! nice one cheapjon.

you can download more shit on Buckcherrys official forum

well i don't want shit? :P :hihi: but i guess i'll check it out :yes: :beer:

so link me up Tiger ;)

I love BCs cover of "midnight rider"

fucking awesome.

who was it originally by?

I love nasty from the MTV icon with janet jackson it's so fucking funky! and "on the road again" is a great song by willie boy and buckcherry's version kix his old ass at that song :hihi:

The Allman Brothers.

amazing songs on there

anyone know what midnight rider was recorded for?   i know that "on the road again" was on some nascar compilation.. but know clue about midnight rider.  also could anyone clean up or remaster "nasty"... i think its a great cover.. but would like to hear it in better quality.. thanks for any info

so sorry is their next single?..

it's a great song but why do they release the ballades, so far could be a single easily :yes:

(just checked my itunes.. sorry was my most played song on 15 :hihi:)


that would be great

they need to pump out a new album, they have milked 15 way too much now.

They are.   Their current tour is done, there are a few isolated dates left but they're taking time off and then recording over the winter/spring.   

cool.... so around this time next year we may have a new album.

Yep.  They said they were going for a summer release but that was a few months ago.   It could have slid somewhat, but I highly doubt we'll be waiting 14 years.   

my new tattoo

(http://www.buckcherry.com/Gallery/data/500/josh_todd_1.jpg)

just kiddin' ..sick tattoo :yes:

BADASS....SOMEONE MUST REALLY LIKE JOSH TODD LOL

hopefully an album early next year

Hey everybody, this is the first entry in the studio blog for the upcoming record. We came off the road at the end of September and took a few days off, then got right back to work writing and rehearsing new material. Right now things are going well, we've got 5 songs completed as full demo recordings, another 4 or 5 songs that have been written completely, and a boat load of great ideas we're trying to finish. I'm stoked on the new stuff! We got off to a slow start for us, I think we're were all so used to being in a tour bus that it took us a while to settle in. Oh..... and X and I had to ride our choppers from Florida to LA with a few friends to blow out the cobwebs, and get in the right frame of mind for the long studio hours. JT's been spending some quality time in the boxing gym, Stevie's been decorating his new pad, and Jimmy is impeccably dressed, as usual. But... we are definitely deep in it now, and this past week has produced what may be the most ass-kicking songs we've ever written. I'm really looking forward to playing this stuff live, and I really can't wait for you guys to hear this stuff!!! Anyway, I'll have more specifics later on the songs, maybe a few titles, and we?ll keep ya posted as to when we actually start the record. More and this and other useless info soon to follow. Keep the faith!

keith

sounds good.

dislike how there myspace they class themselves as alternative and indie.

they cant hide away from what they are

and thats a sleazy hard rocking band

I agree.  They WERE Indie in the strictest sense of the word (independant label) but certainly they are sleazy hard rock.  100%.   And I love it.

Maybe they mean alternative as in "we're an alternative to all the complete and utter shit that's out there."

Either way, they rock.  Labels mean nothing.

buckcherry is total cock rock. i love it.

really hope the new album is big for them. 

They get a lot of play on the alternative/modern rock stations around here. So it's probably just a marketing thing.

I saw them 7 times on their recent tour and was pretty much front row central for every show I saw.    Those were some fucking DAMN good shows.   While I wish the guys every success, the less competition for position at their live shows the better.

i cant wait for more info about the new album

Ha, I think I'm great...

I knew Sorry would be big, and it's #48 this week according to billboard.

They deserve it, it's a solid, great ballad.

Man I didn't even know they released it, cool that it's charting.? I think everyone on here said that they should release it......but back in the summer/fall of 06, not 07.? This should be good news to kind of slingshot into the next album.?


Edit to add:? Thorned, just found on page 12 that you and I were talking about it back in early May of 06, man where have the past two years gone...

Yeah I know it man... crazy isn't it? I love this forum thought, and I"ve talked to a lot of people...

Time is going by so fast. I'm just 22, but I feel like i'm 30 and I wish I was 19 again.

15 has gone Platinum.

Congrats to the boys.  Their debut didn't even go Platinum.  Amazing!  :beer:

Awesome!  Now they need to really push it...by backing GNR on their first post-CD release tour!  Soon.  Damn it.

Buckcherry is the best PURE Whiskey In The Morning, Balls To The Wall, Cock Rock, Bad Ass, pure drinkin' smokin' snortin' blues rock band in the business.  Buckcherry is the most purely entertaining hard rock band in the biz right now

i thought it already went platinum a while ago

maybe worldwide, but now just in us sales

That's what Rock N 'Roll is all about Punk!!

so then they went double platinum now?

No, the band's album 15 has officially moved "1,000,000" copies in the U.S. I don't know what they've done outside the U.S.

Oh yeah, update. THeir biggest single to date "Sorry" which I love so much is charting very high and I'm so glad a good talented band has a nice rock song ont he charts. It's nice to see and it's a rarity.

"Sorry" is #32 this week in the country on the Hot 100.

AWESOME!

Hey guys! Just so you guys know, Buckcherry is going to be on Leno tonight.

THey will be on around 12:00 am EST time or so.

They will be performing their #32 hit "Sorry". Can't wait.

damn it..i missed it....Buckcherry is a great band...all 3 of their albums are really good

The performance last night wasn't as good as I thought it should of been.

It was still good though. I was expecting magic.

Solid performance. When bands play Leno they tone it down so much, I hate that.

Todd's vocals are good live.

did anyone  catch the  jay leno show.. it was ok nothing great.. that format doesnt really play to their strengths...  playing a single ballad on network tv isn't really what they do best.. just my opinion.. still grat exposure for the band.  what i did find interesting was the addition of a strings section to the song... does anyone think they will add something like this to their next album.. and produce a november rain esqe tune?  they threw in a piano track as a bonus on time bomb.. so who knows.. 

Nope, missed it.   Good to see they're still out there in public, but hopefully new disc is coming along well :)

BC's "Sorry" just peaked at #11 on the charts, which broke their previous record of #22.

They are on the highest peak of their career.

Awesome album!

I really don't like 'sorry'. I think it's the worst song from any of the 3 albums and completely lacks the energy and groove that I think makes Buckcherry great. But what the hell do I know, apparently it's the biggest song of their career. I just hope it's success doesn't lead to it making the next record all wussy cheese ballads.

Sorry is Top 10 this week.

is anyone a member at http://buckcherryworldwide.com/LitUp/ubbthreads.php  ?  for some reason i can not register.. it says that my email address has been banned.. which i don't get since iv'e never registered in the first place... much less do something to get banned..   anyways... someone over there was offering the original video for crazy bitch.. it was way way better than the one that was released... i was wondering if anyone either had the video.. and could pm it to me... or was a memeber and could tell me how to register..  i'm also still looking for the cherry roses show and wanted to post the request over there.   thanks for any help.

Well, better late than never  ;D

I thought the ballads on Time Bomb were just as cheesy and not half as catchy

Now, it sure isn't as good as Check Your Head or For The Movies, but it's a good pop-rock type ballad.  I think Buckcherry realizes what their bread and butter is, they're not going to go away from their hard rock styles.  It's not like they have an Axl in the band who can write an amazing piano ballad, these guys are meat and potatoes rockers and they know what they do best.  But songs like Sorry are necessary to get the type of recognition they need and frankly deserve

Apparently Out Of Line is the next single.  That is a great song, I think in a four way tie with Sunshine, Brooklyn and So Far it's my favorite of the album

Only from pre-pubecsent juvenile teens.

I fucking love Brooklyn. Not the type of song that would probably work as a single, but great none the less.

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003789148

can't fucking wait :smoking:

more melodic signals a few things for me.

Weaker+
More ballads

=Aerosmith syndrome

Love that part.. : ok:


Hate that part... ::)

"Check Your Head" might be my favorite (right up there, anyway) Buckcherry song.  "Brooklyn"'s great, too.


I still think it should be Hillary's campaign theme song.


God, I hope not.  Aerosmith writes good ballads, but when they started putting three of them on a record...ugh.

I hope not (even as a lifelong A-smith fan). Buckcherry just don't do ballads well in my opinion. I would love for an album of "So Far" "Timebomb" "Whiskey In The Morning" type songs with no "You" or "sorry" songs on it at all.

well, i think "You" is a really, really good ballad by the band personally. Even if it is really stereotypical.

Awesome news, thanks.   Saw them 6 or 7 times on the last tour, it's be great to top that this time around. 

They're well on the way to releasing the next album :peace:

http://buckcherry.com/LitUp/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=35584

Today is the day. We started writing and rehearsing for these recording
sessions a few months back and now the time has come to put this baby on
wax! we have so many songs now, the biggest challenge is what NOT to
include on the record. A quality problem. True to form we work quick,
afterall we did "15" in fifteen days. We're shooting for the same vibe with
this one, but maybe adding an extra week. Will we call it "21"? Ummm... No.
But, part of what made that record so much fun is we just captured the raw
essence of the band without over-thinking the recording process, and that's
exactly how we're making this one.

Stay tuned for more updates as I'll be taking the time to let you know
what's going on here and how everything is progressing a little more
frequently than before. We can't wait for everyone to hear this new music.
Keep the faith and stay tuned!

Keith

looks awesome :)

Is good news!

it looks like there new cd Black Butterfly will be released in japan on July 16th and in the US in sept. there wasnt any other info such as song titles ect... i could have spent 25 bucks for a single for all i know.  you can order it here

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UICY-90974

tbe title doesnt fit their usual title types haha.

strange. we'll see i guess. i hope their new album is good buckcherry really should give crackin the rest of the world a go on this one alot more since theyve made it in america pretty much.

sweetness

Fuck yeah - that's awesome news.   Ordered. 

Is Buckcherry doing or planning any tours? What are they up to?  :smoking:

finishing their record then tour with cr?efest or whatever it was called i think

they are about to kick off a an american tour supporting motely crue. i think it starts this weekend

They should go down well asl they are the only good act on the bill.

That's great! I really got into their first cd.

anybody seen a setlist from their first show at cruefest or that hasnt started yet?

this is from another forum

BUCKCHERRY -   TIRED OF YOU, RIDIN', PORNO STAR, EVERYTHING, SORRY, CRAZY BITCH, LIT UP

new buckcherry song Too Drunk To Fuck 
http://www.divshare.com/download/4858355-747

 its on there site so i figure its ok to post.  Song is catchy.  the lyrics are up there with Porno Star.  hahah i love how they just write cool songs about getting wasted and girls.  if you want some deep lyrics then you won't like this.. if you want a kick ass fist pumping party song then its a gem.  i'm glad they are sticking to what they do best. 

thanks man, classic buckcherry :)

I guess everyone knows how they came across that name..... :rofl:
Chuck Berry
Buckcherry.......

Hahahaha great tune. I was worried it would be an album full of "sorry" type songs but i'm glad to hear their sticking to what they do best. I love how unapologetic the lyrics are when they do songs like this, "so far", "porno star", "crazy bitch" etc.

"sugar loaded candy kane" lmfao at that line.

thats cheese!!!

sounds like they are trying to make songs in the vein of Crazy Bitch as its there most successful. Thats not a bad t hing, although i hope not all the songs are this moderate pace, i love Buckcherry cause they have mad fast songs, very aggressive.

love the solo in that new song, sounds very hendrix, 60s feeling.

actually, sorry were more succesful so i'm glad they are still doing sexy rock :hihi: :headbanger:

yeah but sorry is only known in USA.

Crazy Bitch is even known in the UK which is a rarity for rock bands lol.

I like the new track.  It's kind of funky and that solo really makes a very average song much better.

Ha ha, catchy track.  Looking forward to the release of the CD.   I wonder how much of the new stuff we'll see live.

is the first song a new one?

the "HERE" is a link to a torrentsite :hihi: that's just funny!

song's kickass "yong, dumb and full of cum"  :rofl:

great song

Nice, the new songs shows they haven't strayed from their bread and butter, it's vintage Buckcherry, great song to blast while drunk  :hihi:

im hooked on it

And here's the vid...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qplBVqPhbBY

Catchy tune, funny vid..

anyone notice, the end solo in the video, sounds quite alot like the main tune of a hendrix track?

i didnt notice that before, was that edited in for this video release?

Yeah, the end solo is based on the opening riff in Hendrix's "Purple Haze". But the first solo starts off with a riff from "Hey Joe". And the song is the (very famous) name of a Dead Kennedys track. I rather like Buckcherry, but this song, albeit rather catchy, has "LAME!!!" written all over it!

i still love the song, its in heavy rotation on my ipod

coolio



actually, appearantly that's not the deal at all : ok:

apparently its a hooker or transvestite in LA!

thats odd

anyone know what happened to the litup message board?  i couldn't find a link on the home page

There is a torrent for some new songs from Black Butterfly.  But it looks like it's some scam to attract traffic to some dodgy dating site.  Not sure, the readme says to go to  http://convert.convert2media.com/z/714/CD989/&dp=1614 to create a profile and I was willing to try it out of desperation, but it says that it's not available from my area.

Anyone know if the new leaks are legit?  Supposed song titles:
We Will Rise

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=102547

yeah, i just want it on my ipod

commercial, sounds like they are trying to sound more like the bands of today.


-infact-

upon more listens, i still think its very commercial, but it reminds me of Hanoi Rocks Two Steps From The Move era songs. (which to me was Hanoi Rocks commercial album)

Its ok, its not bad but its not rocking either.

I fucking love that new track.

Higher quality version here:

http://www.myspace.com/buckcherry

the new ballad is great :smoking:

the ballad is good yup yupp  :smoking:

both new songs are good

I don't think they'll ever top the self-titled debut, but still 9 years later they continue to make good old fashioned rock music, still fun to listen to.  I like the two new songs, they aren't great but they're good and entertaining songs

I'm not sure how old fashioned "Too Drunk to Fuck" is...  :hihi:

hey guys, has anyone been able to get the mp3's of "dont go away" and "rescue me" being theyre up on the myspace page?

so has anyone tested the so called leak?

so far the indications i get are that it is fake.

I've got them. Give me a PM if you want them.

What bitrate are they dude?

probably ripped from myspace so even if it has a high bitrate the quality probbalby suck doesn't it?

lol i was trying to find out if they were myspace rips cause then they aint worthy.^

If you use file2hd it offers you the myspace stream and the original upload quality as possible downloads.

looks like the japan version will have 2 extra tracks.   i'm so pissed i pre ordered from HMV and ordered the 'special edition" japanese version months ago... and this version doesnt have the extra tracks....  WTF

13     Nothing (Demo)
14    Stayin` High (Demo)

http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2732437

its crap they are giving demos instead of properly produced songs like on the 15 Japanese release.

its crap that japan always gets extra traks.. its even worse that somehow ordered the special version without the extra tracks.. and it cost 300yen more....  i suuure got beat

Also the Japanese always get better quality pressings and have better sound quality on their CD's.

anyone go to the show at mohegan sum last night?  it was just crue and buckcherry.  i was wondering if the played an extended set list

For fucks sake, i was sure it would be leaked today. But still, its not.

Im sick of waiting and i want it for my holiday abroad to listen to. Otherwise ima have to wait an extra week after its release date/

So you'd rather steal from a band you love, rather than be patient?

Yeah, and then if the albums good, give back and buy the album.

No harm done.

sort of a random question: what happened to the original buckcherry? that first album was amazing.

o ya and how was their second album? timebomb or whatever it was called

I like Timebomb, but some people hate it.  I guess I'd just say give it a listen and decide for yourself.

I actually think Timebomb is their best work to date. Many would disagree with that though.

The thing with Timebomb is, and this is just my opinion, the good songs are really good but there are more bad songs than any album they've done. 

Frontside, Timebomb, Whiskey In The Morning, and Slammin are some of their best songs. 

Ridin, Porno Star, You, and the hidden piano track are all good. 

But Place In The Sun, Underneath, Slit My Wrists, and Fall could easily be the 4 worst songs they've put on any of their albums at least IMO

It's still well worth the money if you like their other stuff

i think timebomb is great.  Ridin, slammin, and timebomb are some of there best tracks.  the ballads are good too.  i really like all of their albums but each has a slightly diff sound

Buckcherry- has the most classic rock sound
Timebomb- is the heaviest album
15- is the most poppy.

ya i wasnt too impressed with 15. It had its moments like Sorry and Brooklyn but i didnt really like it overall.

all ive heard off Timebomb is Ridin and i thought it was ok.

i think ill give the album a listen

i like all the albums they have done.

Although i think the newer songs minus too drunk to fuck. Aren't Buckcherry at all, its good. But that sound isnt them.

too drunk to fuck, crazy bitch and a few others are sooooo bad lyrically its almost embarrassing listening to them.  :rofl:

yes.. bad as jules in pulp fiction, which is one cool motherfucker :smoking:

damn, ive been listening to Rescue Me and Dont Go Away and i have to say they are growing on me.

are they officially released or just leaks?

They are to be on the new album.

But are the first tracks the band has put on myspace, and used in games like rockband etc.

cool Im definitley gunna pick up the new cd when it drops

i thought you found the band embarrassing to listen to?

I didnt say the band was, just those 2 songs (Crazy Bitch and Too Drunk)

although i take back what i said about Too Drunk, its alright

Gotta say that I'm not as pleased with the new CD as with 15.   It's good, but the first spin doesn't grab me as much as 15 did.   Admittedly after 15 my expectations are pretty high.  :)

is it out? which of their albums is the sound closest to?

It's not out, but if you search "buckcherry black butterfly download" there'll be a link to a rapidshare upload of it (if you don't want to wait for a torrent).

I'm about halfway through, and I can't say I'm horribly impressed. 

It's just different.   The song writing is different.  Songs like Too Drunk can easily be comapred to Crazy Bitch as they have that same fun immaturity (don't get me wrong, I love both songs).   Just like Ridin' and Lit Up.

So having been listening to it solidly for the last few hours.

Great songs - all in no particular order:
Rescue Me - we all heard that one.  FANTASTIC rocker.
Tired of You - Sort of on the rock by numbers Buckcherry style format.  Strong riff, good lyrics.  Good track.  Straight ahead rocker.
Too Drunk...  We all heard this one too.  Good fun track. 
A Child Call "It" - Kinda reminds me of something that would come from Blink182 for some reason.   Good track.  Different pace to anything from their other CDs in my opinion. 
Cream - Has some slower methodical parts, but some great rock parts too.  I LOVE this song, I really do.  Perhaps even my favourite track.  A more mature track.  Not that their previous CDs were all immature music, but I believe that this one shows their progression.
Don't Go Away - I really don't like the intro to this song.  The haunting snippet.   But the song is a great song all the same.  This is the "sorry" for Black Butterfly.
Fallout - Fast paced rock song.  In the vein of Broken Glass.  Love it. 
Imminent Bail Out  - another fast paced rocker.  Sounds like it would have been more at home on Timebomb with songs like Whiskey in the Morning.  Great track - if you liked Whiskey in the Morning.

Good songs
Dreams  - power ballad.  I like it.  But it's not in the same league as the others.   Stronger than sorry, has a faster pace. 
Talk To Me - I don't think those are Josh's vocals opening the track.  Straight ahead rocker but I'm not big on the chorus.  Not a bad song, just not up there with the others.


Take or leave songs
Rose - another power ballad... Not a bad song, but we already have Dreams and Don't Go Away.
All Of Me - uhmmmm...  slow plodding ballad.  Almost sounds like a nursery rhyme or kids song.  I don't get it.  Leave it.




To put this in perspective, Broken Glass never really jumped out at me till I heard it live, then I got a new appreciation for it and now love the song.  So - 6 months from now perhaps those lists will be reversed. :)

I didn't add ratings.   But having given it some proper time at a decent volume (;)) I'm really loving this release. 

The amount of "great" songs seems generous to me, but that is, admittedly, after only one listen.  I felt it to be somewhat mediocre, to be honest, though I plan to give it more than one chance (and at a higher volume, ASAP).

I really like 15, but it didn't hit me at first, either, so here's hopin'!  :beer:

nice review :beer:

I like the 3 songs Ive heard so far but Im not really dying to hear the rest so Ill wait till its out.

Yeah to be honest the review was more positive than I thought it might be.   The first couple of listens were kinda quiet last night.   Maybe it was a few more listens, maybe it was just listening to it with much better sound.  Either way it's grown on me more than I thought it would.   The opening for Don't Go Away really turned me off.   That was firmly in the "don't like" pile until I gave it a chance.

A little volume improved it greatly.  You always miss those subtle things in the background when it isn't cranked a bit.  I'll now need a few more listens to really get it.

Apologies if the formatting is butchered, responding through the mobile version of the site.

My SHM-CD arrived from Japan today. 

Stunning packaging.  It's a really well put together package with the CD sliding into a cardboard sleeve LP style.

After my first listen to the two bonus tracks:
Nothing - Raw, rough and ready rocker.  Timebomb-esque. 

Stayin' High - is a soft ballad.  I can see why they didn't put it on the general relase.   Black Butterfly has some great power ballads on there, and some soft ballads too.  Not a 'bad' song, but we don't need to many of this type of song. 

Buckcherry and Avenged Sevenfold are playing Montana. Can't fucking wait!

buckcherry coming up on Jimmy kimmel live in a few minutes!

i found the album dissappointing myself.

Very commercial and tame.

^agree to some digree but there are some pretty good songs IMO

anyway, they'll most likely reach over 1000 listens on my last.fm tomorrow and then in some more days move past RATM and BLS on the list to be in 5th place :beer:


"oh i wanna do this right,, kiss u right between your thighs"  :smoking:

Agreed.  By far their worst album.  I really like Rescue Me, Tired of You, and Fallout.  The rest of it is pretty unmemorable.  Buckcherry's strongest suits were always the raw, unbridled energy and attitude and those attributes are definitely watered down.  Oh well

Definitely worth the 9.99 via Amazon MP3s.  Fallout is a great tune, Rescue Me is rockin.  A few filler songs.  Too Drunk is kinda lame, they were def going for the Crazy Bitch vibe, but CB is actually a good tune. 

Good disc.  I wasn't expecting anything to blow me away.  BC is a great band but I know what to expect with them, cock-rock thats fun to drink to.

Probably their best record thus far...If I had to rank them it would be 1.Black Butterfly 2.15 3. self titled 4. Time bomb...Ive seen this band countless times and I was one of the few who did not give up on them when they were broken up a few years back...I went to their first show here in Jersey for the 15 tour and the place was empty...the next show they played a year later was jam packed...its good to see them hit it big again..I will however say they are making a huge mistake with their first single....this was part of the reason 'Time bomb' tanked, because "Ridin" was a shitty single, and one of the worst songs on the record...the same can be said about "Too Drunk"...Rescue me, Dont go away, Dreams are all way better options for a first single...

its definately watered down and alot of the songs i feel are made to cater current musical trends.

i like it, but it maybe the bnds worst album yet

really? i would rank them 1. self titled 2. timebomb 3. blackbutterfly 4. 15

I dunno the new one seems too poppy, its still pretty good though

I think the post about it being watered down is pretty accurate. The album has a couple bright spots, and overall isn't bad, but not great or really very memorable.

after a few more listens, i have decided I dont like this album. I think its their worst to date.

it has a few good songs but the bad out weigh the good in my opinion

www.rockhospital.com

go read my review of it. Those who dont like it too much will probably agree with my points.

 :hihi: I love the review of "Child called it". took the words right out outta my mouth, i just remember thinking "what the fuck is this shit" the first time listening to it.

EDIT: after a few MORE listens Im actually liking the new cd more and more
          its definitely been a grower for me

Not really a fan of Erlewine, but ouch...

1.5 Stars (of 5)

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Has any party band been less rock & roll fun than Buckcherry? Self-appointed saviors of sleaze, the L.A. scuzz rockers are disciples of the Sunset Strip circa 1987, singing songs of crazy bitches and cocaine, scored to second-hand Aerosmith rip-offs stripped of boogie so they're turned into lead-footed stomps. Rock & roll doesn't need to be complicated ? it's often better if it isn't ? but if it's going to be the soundtrack for a night of binge drinking at strip clubs, it damn well better make wallowing in filth sound irresistible, not drudgery. Buckcherry dutifully hit all their marks on their fourth album Black Butterfly ? the greasy guitar, the snake-dancing vocals, rhythms designed with a Texas lapdance in mind ? so that makes the record no different in form or function than their other LPs, but it nevertheless marks a significant downturn in energy, lacking the stoopid hooks of "Lit Up" and "Crazy Bitch," hooks which now more than ever seems accidental. Here, they piss on the Dead Kennedys, swipe power ballads from M?tley Cr?e, and pluck Guns N' Roses with absolutely no sense of glee; it's dutiful cardboard cock rock. If the band played with any sense of enthusiasm, this could be tempting toxicity ? music you know is bad for you but you can't resist. But Buckcherry is so far gone on the road of rock & roll indulgence they wind up repeating the same stupid excesses not because they're fun, but because they don't know how to do anything else. Far from being the soundtrack to a raging party, Black Butterfly is the flipside of indulgence: Buckcherry is now the sound of a slow slide into the monotony of addiction.
 

Maybe a little too harsh but I definitely think that their past three albums if nothing else had a totally authentic level of energy and attitude and were flat out fun to listen to.  They were good (if simplistic) songwriters with a great sense of melody and the ability to write fist-pumping anthems but musically and lyrically have never been that good.  It's always been the combination of songwriting and attitude that made them good.

This album isn't much fun.  They didn't elevate or expand upon in a writing sense (except maybe Cream, it's more ambitious structurally and musically than anything they've done), but they lost a lot of the the swagger, attitude and reckless sense of fun that made them one of my favorite contemporary bands.  It's a listenable album but a huge step down from 15

I don't understand your blink 182 shit you're talking about when it comes to a child called it

so what's blink 182 about it? the bass?

IMO it's one of the better songs along with, talk to me, rescue me, fallout, tired of you, too drunk.. and imminent bailout

pretty mych only likes don't go away of the slower songs

the song musically is totally pop punk blink 182 style.

Seeing BC tomorrow nite, digging the new record.

There's a couple of clunkers but a good listen for the most part.

"Talk To Me" is currently in heaviest rotation for me...

Shinedown's also on the bill with former Silvertide member - the amazing Nick Perri on lead guitar.

Lookin' forward to it. :yes:

Awesome - please post the set list if you can remember it... 

I am definitely liking this record now. you can tell they took it more seriously and are pushing in a new direction

they have a few kinks to work out but the list of songs that i like started at 3 and now there are only 3 songs i DONT like

id give it 7/10


PS

anyone understand Cream, i love the song but i jsut dont get the chorus " cream on me" :hihi: what the fuck is that supposed to mean
