New Shit

BUCKCHERRY ARE TOO DRUNK TO FUCK

 Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 at 3:14pm by

Buckcherry have a history of releasing controversial and insanely catchy first singles, and their latest effort “Too Drunk To Fuck” (download here) is no different. While “Too Drunk…” (as the PG version is called) doesn’t have the same “holy shit I need to hear this again right now” factor of “Lit Up” or “Crazy Bitch,” — the lead singles from Buckcherry and 15 respectively — it’s a catchy, bluesy rocker that will no doubt light up radio request lines across the country. Of course, it’s got some pretty racy (and funny) lyrics too, but I’m wondering why the video features a huggable fat dude instead of naked strippers. Hey, guys: boobs sell records! The unit-shifting power of drunk fat dudes remains to be proven, though Blues Traveler did manage to sell a bajillion records… so there goes that theory.

ANWAY, the track comes off of their new album Black Butterfly, slated to be released September 16. After the Cinderella story that was the success of the all-around phenomenal 15, will Black Butterfly deliver another smash for a band that everyone left for dead just 2 years ago? Check out the new video below.

    I hope to christ they arent covering the Dead fucking Kennedys.

  • http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/music/metal/ BBG

    nope.

  • Kye

    Ah the band with the only singer in the world to sound more “head registry-ey” than M. Shadows or Chester Bennington.

    And despite that comparison, I really wish this band would just go away….or just keep touring with Papa Roach, Trapt, and Motley Crue, that way I’ll never see them

    “After the Cinderella story that was the success of the all-around phenomenal 15, will Black Butterfly deliver another smash for a band that everyone left for dead just 2 years ago?”

    Hopefully not.

  • Tommy Leebowitz

    Not nearly as catchy as Crazy Bitch.

  • Nick

    wtf is this…the guitar riff actually sounds like it’s loungey half baked version of the DK song…but then the lyrics are nothing like the DK ones, so what is this, a “reimagining”…god help us all…

  • M. Meyer

    Wow, this fucking sucks, and I loved 15. Are you sure this isn’t Blueshammer?

  • 36Thoughtless

    Buckcherry–playing at a Frat house near you.

  • Sammy

    ugh. Can’t suck enough. And Kye, I simply call it “nasally”.

  • RaZZo

    er…
    I think I just simultaneously puked in my mouth,
    released my bowels in horror,
    and felt my testicles spontaneously sever themselves.

    Meanwhile, fratboys with “tribal arbmands” across the country just creamed their collective CK’s in ecstasy…

    This sounds like a crappy Dread Zeppelin song with Weird Al-level lyrical content….

    Plus:ummm the Dead Kennedys.
    Yes.
    B.C, you have ripped off a legendary song, using the same tagline for your chorus…completely missing the point of the original lyrical content…which basically is making fun of YOU, while simultaneously assuming that THE REST OF THE WORLD has NEVER HEARD THE DEAD KENNEDYS?

    Please, Buck Cherry.
    Look up “irony”.

    Like, if Arby’s made a commercial about the world’s most horrible, cheesy, cliched rock song that was ever written…
    THIS WOULD BE THE SONG IN THAT COMMERCIAL.

    I think I’d rather listen to the Free Credit Report “Pirate / Seafood Restaurant” song than this…

    And does EVERYTHING this band does have to be a “clever” (if you’re an idiot) rip-off or pretentious pun?

    ie:
    #1- Buck Cherry = Chuck Berry
    – We get it – Your bass player was drunk and it went like this:
    “Uhh….Slack Babbath? nnnaaaahh….. uuuhhh… Miron Aiden? mmmmmm, kinda cooolll…nah.. Himi Jendrix??”

    #2- The main hook of “All Lit Up” is lifted off the verse riff of “Shock Me” by Ace Frehley, only with a less catchy/memorable chorus lick. So, yeah, the kind of band whose success is directly proportionate to the ignorance of music-history of their own fanbase (ex: Marilyn Manson).
    In fact it is DEPENDANT on this ignorance, oh and #3

    #3- The fans are coked out retards with no sense of IRONY WHATSOEVER:
    Every time this band is spun by a DJ you can guarantee a herd of striped-office-shirt-wearing, axe-body-spray-smelling “bros” and their chicken-legged sex-in-the-city are gonna start “moshing” and “Whoooo-hoooo”-ing like fuckin’ retards on a trip to the zoo.

    Sorry everyone.

    I really, really hate this band.

    I think I just threw up a little.

    So catchy that I nearly took a nap during this. Pass.

  • vitruvianApe

    golf clap for razzo, well done my friend. . . well done

  • Muttweiler

    @RaZZo thanks for the reminder, I remember that Ace Frehley rip-off but completely wrote off this band back then for their suckiness.

  • http://www.consequenceofsound.net Jay

    I prefer the Dead Kennedys song compared to this drivel. What a shitload of fuck!

  • http://www.consequenceofsound.net Jay

    @RaZZo ftw!

    Good call man!

  • http://www.roxwel.com Pick-Axe Bobby

    Wow, Razzo, just perfect.

  • http://countshockula.blogspot.com ezra

    I need to find a new word for terrible.
    I hope Jello becomes president and bans crap like this.

  • RaZZo

    Golf clap? Cool!

    I just calls ‘em likes I sees ‘em…

    Maybe MS could use a new, irate, sarcastic columnist/reviewer….?

  • tito

    this song sounds like an SNL skit.

  • grymmbear

    Buckcherry: What an STD would sound like.
