Anyone else a HUGE fan of Buckcherry?
I feel like that they are the last living example of a modern day Aerosmith or GnR. I also feel a lot of the bands that I see people following are purely rock bands that miss the other critical part of the equation - ROLL. The groove that sucks you in and that swagger that the Stones had. That AC/DC had. That Aerosmith had. And Guns N' Roses had. IMO they are the last band cut from this mold. Most of these new bands get the rock but they forget to roll.
Granted, Buckcherry has been around for awhile but they are still doing it and IMO were the last band cut from the same cloth. I LOVE Keith and Stevie D's guitar playing and Josh's raw vocals. I love the Black Crowes too for a newer band but they are so on again/off again that I have to give the credit to Buckcherry for keeping it going.
And they STILL get on modern rock tours and festivals even though they are WAY better and more old school than these other bands they are touring with. So they are keeping the old sound and style alive, and for that they are worth their weight in gold IMO.
Their music may be a bit too hard-edged for a lot of the more country-rock Eagles fans or people that aren't into guys like Aerosmith or GnR but IMO they have a LOT to offer and are totally old school with their vintage Gibsons and Marshalls and the whole bit. I think of Keith and Stevie like a modern day Joe and Brad from Aerosmith. They totally know how to play to each others strengths. And the music is full of groove.
My favorite songs are Lit Up, Crazy Bitch, Sorry, and Gluttony.
Definitely worth a listen if you are a fan of old 70s hard rock. It's like they picked up were GnR left off.
