Buckcherry

[blues rocker]

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.

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?
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!!!!!!!!!!


Thank God once again for Scott Weiland!

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

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!!! 

[Deez Nuts]

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.

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.

                    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.

[mrlee]

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

[1badapple]

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.
