Buckcherry
Touring with Hinder and Papa Roach as the "Bad Boys of Rock," this summer, Buckcherry promoted its most recent release "15." The experienced group of rockers continues to move from smaller venues to become regulars of the arena-rock circuit. Fans have mixed feelings about the listing of bands for the recently completed summer tour. Many are happy that more people are seeing their favorite band, but others state that they think Buckcherry should be the premier headliner.
The group was noticeably away from the rock scene for a couple of years. Now touring again with new members, Buckcherry still comes on with tattooed arms and a driving sound that is similar to just a few other current bands. Josh Todd’s vocals continue to stand out above the hammering guitars (as good vocals should). It’s interesting to hear the ballad quality of the vocals in "Sorry" and the first few bars of "Everything" contrasted with the Robert Plant force of "Broken Glass." Maybe this fit of different vocal presentations to different beats and guitar styles is what keeps Buckcherry fans coming back.
Buckcherry members Josh Todd (vocals), Keith Nelson (guitar), Jimmy "Two Fingers" Ashhurst (bass), Stevie D. (guitar) and Xavier Muriel (drums) tour Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and several other states this fall. The tour includes stops in California and Washington state.

I wonder if Josh Todd will eventually go solo. You know they always do.
I have seen Buck Cherry live in concert more than once, more like ten. He puts on an awesome rock show. I use to watch Buck Cherry before they became famous with such a wonderful song as “Crazy Bitch”. I was a big fan back in the days of “Lit Up” or as everyone would call into the radio station and request, the “Cocaine” song. Normally someone like lead singer Josh Todd would not be the top of my list on most attractive males, however when he is up there signing he is incredibly sexy. I will see Buck Cherry whenever I can, again and again.
I remember back in 99′ going to see them in concert with Lenny Kravitz in Austin. There were a few other bands there too (Smash Mouth, Collective Soul, etc) but these guys just blew me away. I love their new music but will always have a soft spot for their debut album.
Since my last review on BuckCherry I have had the opportunity to see this wonderful rock and roll band in concert once again. They were not the headlining band, but you would never have known. They stole the show and as far as I could tell the show pretty much ended when they were done. Magical show once again by Todd and the gang.
