Re: BUCKCHERRY Frontman Reveals Favorite Albums Of All Time
In celebration of the fact that BUCKCHERRY just broke into the ranks of the Top 10 on The Billboard 200 chart wit its latest CD, "Black Butterfly", IGN.com has commemorated the event by posting frontman Josh Todd's Top 10 favorite albums of all time. The list is as follows:
01. MINOR THREAT - Out Of Step (1984)
02. AC/DC - Back In Black (1980)
03. YAZ - Upstairs At Eric's (1982)
04. PRINCE - Purple Rain (1984)
05. THE CULT - Electric (1987)
06. SLIPKNOT - Iowa (2001)
07. RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Rage Against the Machine (1992)
08. IRON MAIDEN - The Number Of The Beast (1982)
09. LED ZEPPELIN - Houses Of The Holy (1973)
10. GUNS N' ROSES - Appetite For Destruction (1987)
To read Josh's short commentary on each of the 10 selections, go to Ign.com.
BUCKCHERRY's fourth studio album, titled "Black Butterfly", sold just under 47,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 8. The CD follows up 2006's "15", which marked a huge comeback for the band after it was left for dead in 2002. "15" sold more than one million copies and produced several hit singles, with the song "Crazy Bitch" becoming one of the most popular ringtones ever. Although the band is now bigger than it was before its four-year hiatus, singer Josh Todd told The Pulse of Radio their values remain the same. "When we started out, I remember Keith (Nelson, guitarist) and I just saying that we had gotten to a point where just, like, we just wanted to make music that we were excited about," he said. "It was just all about, like, 'Let's just go and enjoy ourselves.' And we still have that philosophy today, you know, like we don't want to overthink it and we don't want to chase radio, you know, we just want to make the music that means something to us. And if it's real to us, it's gonna be real to everybody else."
BUCKCHERRY came onto the scene in 1999 with its self-titled debut album, which went gold. But its 2001 sophomore effort, "Time Bomb", was a sales disappointment, leading Todd and Nelson to put the band on ice until 2005.
Todd and Nelson are the only original members still in the group. During BUCKCHERRY's hiatus they were involved with an early version of VELVET REVOLVER.

Re: BUCKCHERRY Frontman Reveals Favorite Albums Of All Time
Doesn't surprise me he lists GNR, you can hear the GNR influence heavily in the music...although more in the guitar structures than the vocals I guess.
I'm hanging to get Balck Butterfly it still hasn't been released in OZ I don't think. Really got into a bit of buckcherry recently.
Don't undertstand why timebomb floped either...IMHO its quite similar to 15 both of them are much better than the debut record.
