BuckCherry

Saw these guys in a shit bar here in Winnipeg on Sunday. Amazing fucking show. Great straight up rock and roll. If you have a chance, check them out. Singer reminds me of Scott Weiland (sp?), looks like a heroine addict. Drummer tears it up at 110% through the whole show, and they have two excellent guitarists who take turns at lead and rhythm (much like Mike and Stone).

I love Buckcherry. They brought feel-good hard rock back to life. I think it's a fucking beautiful thing. I can't wait to see them on March 10th.

HAHAHA!! All of Canada has been a drag for him. Lots and lots of snow! He says they must be crazy to tour Canada right now, all the Canadian bands headed south to the states because of the weather. They finished Canada Sunday, are back in the States for a few days, doing Letterman on Friday, then off to Europe..

hehehehee...Well, they do suck,and you know it! Steve is on his way here to see me! I just didn't get my "fill" when I visited 2 weeks ago before the Canada stint...Do you remember my post about the Grammys' when they were nominated? I just couldn't believe they were nominated for such a foul song!

Lit Up and Dead Again were okay... always thought it sounded like a second rate Chris Robinson fronting a second rate GNR.

They're not the most talented band in the world, but they're certainly not the least talented either.
They brought fun back to rock n' roll though...something that was sort of lost in the 90's. I have to commend them for that.

Igottago

these guys suck. they have no real personality, they have a very generic stereotypical image of a rock band with attitude..nothing real..its boring

since chris robinson can't quit fighting long enough to make another black crowes album and guns'n'roses imploded due to axl's elton john fetish, ill take what i can get.

im happy to hear a band that's not afraid to be inappropriate and kick some ass. im tired of that pansy-ass emo type shit we've been hearing, and even the mopey false-humility of grunge. it's nice now and again to throw on a band that's all about drinking and partying and the seamy side of life instead of whining about girls or their sad childhood. it's why i like oasis so much.

Did'nt Oasis do that?

Just one question: Are Buckcherry and Hinder interchangeable or what?

iamrockmusic

As someone that grew up on 80s rock, has loved Buckcherry since the beginning, and has seen them live half a dozen times, I can tell you that in my opinion, they're one of the best live bands around. People may disagree with their lyrics or say they're not the most original band. Guess what? They're not the most original band in the world, but they don't claim to be either. They come from the same blues-based, guitar-oriented music that fans of Aerosmith, AC/DC, Guns N Roses and other bands like that will love. And Buckcherry does that kind of music very very well.

If you don't know a single one of their lyrics, you could still appreciate the energy and the vibe of their live shows. In my opinion, Josh is one of the better frontmen in rock today. He's all over the stage, and his voice is very distinctive and unique.

Just my two cents...

Amen to that one!!! Buckcherry is actually a 4th rate version of the Black Crowe!. Anyone who digs Buckcherry should go check out the Crowes...after one listen, you'll see just how vanilla Buckcherry really is muscially.

Chris Robinson can't quit fighting long enough??? Let's see...the Crowes are in the studio and planning to release a album in '07 actually. And Chris and the rest of the Crowes just got done touring for close to a year and a half (some mind blowing shows by the way). Sounds like he's pretty active to me.

and how long has it been since lions? how many times have they broken up, done solo albums, toured, fired keyboardists, had the guitarist quit? im glad they're doing new stuff. dont get me wrong, i love the crowes and like them better than buckcherry, but you never know how long it will be until the next crowes album and in the meantime you've got to find something to listen to. buckcherry fits that bill nicely. they're a fun band. nothing brilliant, but fun. id say the same about the crowes... they're not doing anything particularly groundbreaking, they're just a fun rock and roll band. so is buckcherry. so why the hate? cos they have a song called crazy bitch and that offends your pc-sensibilities cos it has the dreaded f-word and is about good sex? you're telling me the lyrics to stop kicking my heart around are a whole lot more impressive? cmon... they're both fun bands. there's nothing wrong with liking them both. by that ridiculous sentiment nobody should like pearl jam cos the who came first.

the problem is ALL there songs are like that, i mean they could have just as easily been written by warrant, or poison, or motley crue. . .great bands have some substance to them, which buckcherry does not. like i said there show was decent and pretty energetic, but i cant see myself being a big fan

i dont WANT all my songs to have deep substance. sometimes i like to shut down my brooding, weighty depression and just have fun. seems like a lot of people around here take themselves and their music way more seriously than the emo kids they love to hate. does every song have to be about unrequited love or world peace or how much republicans suck to be worthy of a listen? i mean, i love that shit as much as the next guy, but we know all those things and sometimes it's nice to remember that our happiest memories are usually those senseless nights out at the bar partying it up with out friends.

I know watcha mean soulsinging. I mean if every song was like Present Tense, then that song wouldnt be as cool. I like to listen to NOFX, Citizen Fish, other punk stuff, just because its not deep and its fun. I hate, hate, hate buckcherry though. Buckcherry reminds me of hinder and most hinder fans are scyophant lame asses. And they like Nickelback. Ugh.
