Buckcherry Hope to Be Promoted to Arena Rock Band Status This Year

Posted by Talia Ricci on February 16th, 2009


While Buckcherry lead singer Josh Todd is able to collect some stories from the road as he tours with Aveneged Sevenfold and Papa Roach, he can’t help but look back to last summer’s jaunt with Motley Crue.

“Well, without getting into too much detail, at Cruefest there were these crazy ass parties in Tommy Lee’s dressing room where he would DJ,” Todd tells andPOP. “Basically in order to get into the party, you would have to be topless or bottomless so it makes for a very interesting dance party.”

While bands like Motley Crue have kept touring interesting, it was AC/DC who brought Buckcherry together over a decade ago.

Todd met lead guitarist Keith Nelson through their tattoo artist after discovering their common love for AC/DC. “He really knows how to complete my thoughts,” Todd says.

The band has gone through numerous lineups, even breaking up for a few years. But all seems stable now for Buckcherry after the 2006 album “15,” which featured the hits “Sorry” and “Crazy Bitch,” and last year’s release of “Black Butterfly.”

“We’ve all been through the same hard knocks in the business,” Todd says. “We all get along really well.”

Todd calls “Black Butterfly” “our best record to date. We really matured and songwriting is getting better and better. It was the longest writing process for a Buckcherry record and it really paid off.”

As for the biggest challenges of creating the album, Todd says, “sometimes you have to let it go and move forward. You can spend forever writing a record. We like to not second guess ourselves, we like to not spend too much time over thinking things.

The band will continue their tour throughout the year, and hope to soon become an arena rock band. “We’ve been in arena’s since the beginning of the summer last year and it’s going great. We are just going to stay on the road, keep servicing radio with the songs on this record and stick with it.”
