    I am sure that not every single song is like that but the ones I have heard are exactly what I said.

    Yeah just like all bands, they have their fair share of crap lyrics but at least they dont make lyrics that attempt to make them sound tough and cool.

    you mean like supersonic, all about cocaine, fucking models and driving jaguars?

    or that one big hit is about how all those bad ass gallagher brothers need is cigarettes and alcohol, cos they're too cool to care or worry about anything else?

    cmon, man. i love oasis, but they've got more faux cool lyrics and posturing than anyone. that's what i love about them. buckcherry's lyrics are not attempts to make them seem tough. they are reflections of their partying lifestyle. they are neither the first nor the last to write about it and there is nothing posturing about it.

    so becos they wrote 2 hit songs, one of which is about cocaine (lit up) and another which is about sex with a nympho (crazy bitch), you refuse to listen to them? i take it you didn't hear their hit song about trying to get out of that life while you can... rather you probly did but didnt even realize it was buckcherry when you were thinking "this song kicks ass."

    dont you listen to hip hop? how can you listen to wu tang and then talk about how lame it is for buckcherry to write songs about sex and drugs. that crazy fucker they've got singing has probly snorted more coke than all of wu tang combined. that make them posers?

    lol, no shit. Just go to youtube.com and type in "Liam Gallagher, drunk" and "Oasis, drunk," or "Noel, asshole" or "Oasis, fight" and you'll see all kinds of tough guy stuff.

    I know, b/c I've done those searches before.....and b/c I think that shit's hilarious.

    That being said, I do not have the 2nd Buckcherry disc, so I need to pick that up.
    You are missing out, fanch. Time bomb rules. It's much better than 15. Buy it tomorrow and it will improve your weekend. Porno Star is one of my favorite Buckcherry tunes.

    And by the way, whoever said Oasis opened for the Crowes on the Brotherly Love tour was a bit off. They switched headlining spots on alternate nights. Oasis was the headliner when I saw them at Tinley Park.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    Im just not into that white trash townie bar music, arguing with me wont really change my mind. I have heard enough songs by them to know that I dont like them or their sound.

    white trash? kid rock is white trash (he's good too). buckcherry are from la. it doesn't get any less white trash than that. they're the kind of guys white trash rednecks would want to beat up for wearing leather and eyeliner.

    See now, I can buy that - simply saying "I don't like them" would have been fine with me. There's a lot of shit I don't like and I'll be damn if anyone tells me that I have to like it. For example, I think what I've heard from Modest Mouse is the biggest pile of pussy shite I've ever heard and I don't care how "amazing" people on this board think they are.

    I just got confused by your "I don't like them b/c they are tough guys" comments, when Oasis are the kings of being tough guys.

    Whatever Doc says is golden. Thanks dude! I've been meaning to pick it up but just haven't. I need to buy that and the "You Will Know Us By The Trail of the Dead" that soulsinging keeps hyping!

    Heading out on vacation this weekend....need to get these on the fanchPod for the trip.

  • I also spin Josh Todd's solo album a lot. Hard rock tunes on that bad ass album.
    Dammit! I can't help it but Buckcherry's three albums bring real rock and roll back to this generation. I love that band. They are really good live as well. Their set list is pretty decent but could be longer.
  • Are they anything original? No. Do they pretend to be? No. Are they great ass kickin rock n' roll? Yes.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
  • i would also just like to express my love for the ass-kicking rock'n'roll of buckcherry. i need to pick up josh's solo effort. i was never able to find it anywhere though, but i never bothered ordering it online. i kinda got sidetracked i guess.
