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.

    AC/DC>Airbourne>Black Robot

    And I always thought Buckcherry was more of a chick band

    • SP420

      As soon as I saw this headline I was going to tout Airbourne as well, but this pretty much sums up my sentiments.

      im surprised that was even brought up so nonchalantly.

      • Wayne

        Fucking horrible band. They need to get in a plane crash with Nickleback and Creed.

  • Driven9

    Very disappointing to hear that Vince likes Buckcherry. Fucking Christ that band Blows

    I’m Rockzo the clown! I do cocaine!

    • TXHellbilly

      Damnit you beat me to the punch! KAKAKAYEAYAH!!
      And for the record, Buckcherry sucks balls.

  • Trux

    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 ….

    • stu1

      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.

      • Trux

        oh well….

  • Grymmbear

    Ahh, Buckcherry… the only band that can give people STDs just by listening to their music.

    • Beereded

      Ear AIDS?

  • Servius Tullius

    “With your bitch-slap rappin’ and your cocaine tongue / You get nothing done”. That’s GN’R. But your point stands. And Buckcherry sucks.

  • stu1

    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”

  • Ajax

    +1 for Manmade God. I fucking love that band.

  • musicalsnob

    buck cherry SUCKS BLOOD SOAKED BALLS also ROFL

  • http://www.myspace.com/uglydirge aaron m.

    whenever i sing “cocaine”, i like to change it to “rogaine” to make it funnier for everybody.

    • Beereded

      A line from Take Me To Your Leader by Incubus: “Forgot to inject my cocaine. Forgot to apply my rogaine.”

  • Master Chah

    Buckcherry?!?!?!?! MORE LIKE SUCKCHERRY!!!!!

    • gibberish

      Bring on the crickets.

      • Wayne

        Ha!

  • matt

    I love the Black Robot record, there is also songs on there that remind me of early Queens of the Stone Age

  • villanj1

    Loudermilk changed their name to Gosling, btw.

  • Alex P.

    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”.

  • Marcel

    All bands who brag about their alleged coke-snorting behavior are sufficiently parodied by Metalocalypse’s Dr. Rockso.

  • bretton

    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?

  • richard

    This reveiw must have been generated by a bored ugly fat girlfriend..right? right? ANYHOW.. Loudermilk? You mean Gosling (gay name) ps Issac Carpenter (DRUMMER) played drums on the singer for “Black Robot” Huck Johns’ (great singer) Rock and Roll classic “Huck” released on Capitol Records 2006 (yep thats Ike on the drums!) and guess what my little fat sweetie?.. guess who helped Loudermilk get signed? ahha!! Thats right my little Bon Bon eater… Buckcherry!!! you can always tell when someone only listens to one song on a record. Well.. PLUG YOUR EARS! Cuz Black Robot WILL BE in your face soon enuff.
    Maybe you should listen to the rest of the record.

    Buckcherry’s rich! Black Robot soon to be..

    “Whats in your wallet?” ;)

    suk it

  • Sandy
