Buckcherry



They're one of my all time favorite bands both on CD and live. For one ... they were great back in the day when "lit up" was huge, two ... they're a success story from when they disbanded and got back together only to have the most commercially succesful album of their career ... and three ... they are the very definition of Rockstars! For example, when I saw them in Indianapolis, their guitarist Keith Nelson ... did a line of booger sugar right off of his amplifier while playing a guitar solo!! Just for the record, I don't think doing drugs is cool ... at all. But you just don't see that kind of thing everyday.

They also love Saskatchewan. They've been here probably 6 times in the last 2 years which is unheard of ... unless your in a band called Trooper.

The first time I saw them was at the Pump in Regina ... I'm not going to lie, it was one of the best nights of my life!! (minus the whole not being able to hear for a week thing) Since then, I've seen them in Saskatoon 2 more times and in Indianapolis. If you were to take away all the production and lights that bands use now a days and just put them on a stage ... Buckcherry would blow everyone away by far. They are the best live band you'll ever see!! Josh Todd is a maniac when he gets on the stage!! The guys got so many tattoos it would be tough to find skin plus he wears leather pants ... if thats not Rockstar, I don't know what is.

Anyway, the reason I'm talking about them this morning is because they have a new album coming out September 23rd called "Black Butterfly" and they leaked the new single and video through youtube. It's called "Too Drunk" and it's safe to say you will not be hearing it on The Eagle anytime soon ....

*** CAUTION ... THERE'S A LOT OF F BOMBS!! ***
