Buckcherry

Buckcherry have been a band out of time for as long as they’ve been together. Formed in 1995 they were too late to fit in with the Glam Metal scene of their native Los Angeles, too late to ride the wave of grunge in the early 90’s and a little bit too early to truly capitalize on the post-grunge boom at the turn of the 21st century. However, if you don’t fit in you can only stand out, and that’s exactly what Buckcherry do. They’ve built up a devoted fan-base by not only fusing the two genres that they missed the boat on the first time around better than anyone else around, but also by regularly turning in staggering live show after staggering live show which anyone can see to this day. Combining the street-born swagger of golden era Guns ‘n’ Roses with the tuned down riffs and heavy angst of Silverchair and Shinedown, a Buckcherry concert can stake a legitimate claim to being a melting pot of the last thirty years of American rock. Everything that made it exciting, edgy and life affirming can be found in spades along with Keith Nelson and Stevie D.’s duelling, scything guitar work, while all being conducted to perfection by Josh Todd, a frontman who could be the dictionary definition of commanding. The band hasn’t missed a step live as they come up to their 20th year as a band, and they’re only getting better. So anyone looking for the best time they can have with some sensational riffs and amps turned to twelve can’t go wrong with an evening with Buckcherry.

Buckcherry, the Californian rockers have been performing as a group for almost twenty years albeit a short hiatus in the early 00's. They have amassed a loyal and dedicated fan base for their hard rock sound and they repay this loyalty with slick and energised live shows.

The consistently high quality of their gigs means fans continue to sell it out again and again to the delight of the band. As they appear under the moody, grungey lighting the audience know they are in for an old school rock performance. Often performing partly clothed, the band appears showing off their vast array of tattoos before launching into an aggressive rendition of 'Lit Up'.

The crowds mosh and jostle intently as Josh Todd encourages them to give everything they have as the band thrash out the classics such as 'Sorry' and 'All Night Long'. You begin to realise why the band performs topless apart from being proud of their body art, each member is dripped in sweat by the finale due to the intensity in which they recreate their music. This is a credit to this hardworking rock band and why the fans continue to sell out shows again and again.

I would have to say with the 2 grouping bands that open for "Buckcherry," "AEGES" sounded pretty damn good!! Hope to see 'Aeges" make a name for themselves across the USA. Buckcherry on the other hand, couldn't ask for a down to earth awesome band that started in Los Angeles, CA (like "The Red Hot Chili Peppers," and "Nirvana"). Bands like Buckcherry are what inspires young kids like my daughter, who loves the sound of this type of music just like her Ol' Man, and pushes herself to better herself when she plays her variety of instruments!! I would like to see them again if a chance was to pop up again around "TEXAS!" I would recommend anyone that loves Rock N Roll or Heavy Metal,to go see "Buckcherry," and experience the intensity and the positive vibe the band puts out to their fans and the communication with their songs. Ill give them a high "10" in my scrap book of concerts that I have experienced.

Thank You,

Buckcherry is one of my favorite bands that I try to see whenever I can. I prefer to watch live music in smaller venues versus larger venues so when I saw they were playing at a local club I made sure I could go. They are true rock n roll performers. The venue had a small issue with the main mic and its quality and clarity. Josh Todd noticed the issue, didn't stop the show or indicate to anyone that it needed to be changed and just continued on with the show in spite of the issues. That is a true hallmark of a great performer and a great band.
The size of the venue was perfect and I got to rock and enjoy their music up close without being overly crowded. They played all of their great hits and mixed up the playlist with music from their most recent album. Again this was another great performance by Buckcherry and I will definitely go see them again!!

Josh Todd was amazing as usual. He was worth the nine hours we drove to get there. I just wish we could have gotten closer and I wish there would be an opportunity to actually meet him, after all if we're there because he really love this guy and we love his music is a hundred percent real that is one of the things that make him so awesome. I do find it a little unfair that only people who know somebody or have hundreds of dollars to dish out can get close to him. I don't think that's the way he is and if he knew how important he was to some of us, speaking for myself he's been my idol for 10 years now and as I mentioned earlier I drove 9 hours to see him I just wish we could have met him

The first thing I want to say is " THANK GOD FOR BUCK CHERRY " they have restored my faith in rock n roll. I saw them about 9 or 10 years ago in salt lake city, Utah. It was at a small venue called salt air, ( about 4,000 people ) They reminded me of an orchestra every one in the band knew their part and didn't miss a beat. I have followed them since, buying their albums, watching their videos. I am 67 years old and will rock until I drop. My 2 daughters luv ya and so does my grandson. Josh Todd is total Rock Star. ROCK ON BUCK CHERRY! Allen Wise Salt L ake City, Utah.

BuckCherry was amazing!! Been waiting a long time, worth the wait 100%! Venue, Hardtimes, and their people were the absolute worst so won't go there again to see them. WILL, however, HAPPILY, make a 3, 5 even 10 hour road trip elsewhere to see them!!! YES!! THAT killer of a show! (And, YES, THAT disorganized, poorly run, where you get 10 different answers to one single question,venue. And God forbid you ask where the merch is set up!!! WTF)

Can't wait to see them again!!!

Wow. Amazing performances all round. Rocky Kramer opening was a great start, got me lifted. Definitely looking for future performances. Then the treatment, wow, now following and hope to see again in the future. Then for the headline act BUCKCHERRY, WOW WOW WOW. Amazing, electrifying performance and without a doubt the best live band performance of have ever seen. Roughly an 80% chance I'll be there at Cardiff too.

oh we had an absolutely fantastic time. The band was definitely on point vocals were great acoustics for fabulous really really surprised by the band they put on an extremely good show they're very clear. The venue was perfect just the right amount of people I can't say enough good things we all really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely come see them again and go back to the tally ho.

Went to see them last night in Dayton Ohio they were great. The Venue was horrible though; dirty,overpriced drinks ( mixed drink & 1 beer was $11), bathroom was in bad spot and in need of help. Their performance was awesome, will see them every chance I get. Will not ever go to that venue again though, which was almost a 3 hour drive for us.
