ANYONE WANNA LISTEN TO AC/DC WITHOUT LISTENING TO AC/DC?

Vince really likes Buckcherry, but I’ve never gotten into any of their songs that aren’t the big hits – namely, “Lit Up” (a.k.a. “the one about cocaine”) and “Crazy Bitch” (a.k.a. “the one about fucking”). Like so many bands that hoped to be the Appetite-era Guns N’ Roses of the late 20th/early 21st century, Buckcherry always just felt like they were trying way too hard to prove what a bunch of bad-asses they are. GN’R never actually used the words “cocaine” or “heroin” in a song – Buckcherry’s biggest hit finds them shouting “I LOVE THE COCAINE! I LOVE THE COCAINE!” In case anyone doubted that they were the real deal. Puh-lease.
So. Former Buckcherry bassist JB Brightman has a new band, Black Robot, and – no shock here – it’s readily apparent that they want to be AC/DC. If you’re one of those people who unironically loves retro-hard rawk that has no sense of originality whatsoever, then you will probably dig this band. And whatever you do, stay away from Loudermilk and Manmade God – bands that actually make excellent, original hard rock.
And, hey, guess what? Black Robot covered Clapton’s “Cocaine!” How original! How shocking! What a bunch of bad-asses! Now I can finally burn my copy of Appetite for Destruction!
Barf.
-AR
AC/DC>Airbourne>Black Robot
And I always thought Buckcherry was more of a chick band
As soon as I saw this headline I was going to tout Airbourne as well, but this pretty much sums up my sentiments.
seconded
yawn. Can I go back to bed now?
People LIKE Buckcherry? What the fuck?
yea. really. what the fuck?
im surprised that was even brought up so nonchalantly.
Fucking horrible band. They need to get in a plane crash with Nickleback and Creed.
Very disappointing to hear that Vince likes Buckcherry. Fucking Christ that band Blows
I’m Rockzo the clown! I do cocaine!
Damnit you beat me to the punch! KAKAKAYEAYAH!!
And for the record, Buckcherry sucks balls.
and you guys were bitching about Creed just about yesterday only to know that at least one in the MS Mansion likes Buckcherry ??..
Buckcherry blows much harder than Creed !!..
Geez….. Buckcherry may be one of the crappiest bands alive ….
No fucking way. They may be cheesy has hell, but that first record is pretty damn good if you’re into GNR, Aerosmith, ACDC, Black Crowes, etc.
Creed is awful.
oh well….
Ahh, Buckcherry… the only band that can give people STDs just by listening to their music.
Ear AIDS?
“With your bitch-slap rappin’ and your cocaine tongue / You get nothing done”. That’s GN’R. But your point stands. And Buckcherry sucks.
I also believe it’s 3 members of the old Buckcherry, not just JB.
And that Loudermilk record was phenomenal.
Also from “Right Next Door to Hell”
“Ya get your nicotine caffeine cocaine fix bitch don’t you get tired of turnin’ tricks”
+1 for Manmade God. I fucking love that band.
wha!!! i thought it was gonna be classic acdc(Bon Scott era), not that Brian Johnson crap…. oh well its not that great.
buck cherry SUCKS BLOOD SOAKED BALLS also ROFL
whenever i sing “cocaine”, i like to change it to “rogaine” to make it funnier for everybody.
A line from Take Me To Your Leader by Incubus: “Forgot to inject my cocaine. Forgot to apply my rogaine.”
Buckcherry?!?!?!?! MORE LIKE SUCKCHERRY!!!!!
Bring on the crickets.
Ha!
I love the Black Robot record, there is also songs on there that remind me of early Queens of the Stone Age
Loudermilk changed their name to Gosling, btw.
OK, I need to say this, because you care about what I have to say (I being an eighteen year old college guy who listens to a lot of music, and criticizes other people’s tastes for lack of a hobby).
FUCK BUCK CHERRY! I HATE THOSE MOTHERFUCKING POSERS! FUCKING RADIO-COCK-ROCK! WHY WOULD YOU EVER WASTE BRAINCELLS ON THEM? CRAZY BITCH IS A REPETITIVE, DERIVATIVE BULLSHIT SONG BY A REPETITIVE, DERIVATIVE BULLSHIT BAND!
Mind you, I’ve always been more into prog rock than hard rock. So maybe I don’t “get” this music, if singing about bitches entails anything worth “getting”.
All bands who brag about their alleged coke-snorting behavior are sufficiently parodied by Metalocalypse’s Dr. Rockso.
wanna listen to AC/DC without listening to AC/DC?
listen to JACKAL
they have a song called “she loves my cock” what more do you need?
