Buckcherry
Los Angeles hard rockers Buckcherry formed in mid-1995 after singer Joshua Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson were introduced through their tattoo artist; after cutting their earliest demos, the duo recruited bassist Jonathan (J.B.) Brightman and drummer Devon Glenn and began performing live, quickly earning a major following on the L.A. club scene. Following the subsequent addition of second guitarist Yogi, Buckcherry signed to DreamWorks Records, issuing their self-titled debut LP in 1999. Singles such as "Check Your Head" and "For the Movies" were modern rock hits for the band, allowing them to raise their profile by summer 2000. The following year, Buckcherry released their second album, Time Bomb. It wasn't widely received by critics, but dates opening for heroes, AC/DC, proved prominent for the band. In July 2002, founding member Joshua Todd unexpectedly left Buckcherry, which led to the band's demise
While on hiatus from Buckcherry, the duo was recruited by Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum to play a benefit for the late drummer Randy Castillo. Soon afterwards the ensemble began writing material and playing new songs, and although it never panned out, these sessions served as the precursor for the infamous 'G&R Project' - now titled Velvet Revolver.
'It made us realize how much fun it was to be in a band again,' says JOSH. 'We began to focus on what mattered--the music--and what Buckcherry represented and believed in. We were able to turn our disappointment at the label's demise into a new direction.'
'By the end, I was just so spent dealing with all the egos, I needed to take some time off,' explains Keith, who ended up with a co-writing credit on 'Dirty Little Thing' from Velvet Revolver's hit debut Contraband.
The experience recommitted the pair to working together and reforming the band. 'I missed him as a friend,' says Josh. 'And it came back together so quickly and effortlessly, we felt, 'this is the way it's supposed to be.' The time away ended up working in our favor.'
The pairing favorably compares to several prominent lead singer/guitarist duos who have fueled some of the band's major inspirations, a torch that has been handed down from the dawn of rock - which Josh and Keith have willingly accepted.
FIFTEEN sports some of the all-out rockers that Buckcherry is known for, like the aggro fury of 'Out of Line,' the salacious, Stonesy swagger of 'Crazy B**ch,' the balls-to-the-wall 'Onset,' the full-tilt Faces rock of 'Sunshine' and the anti-war, AC/DC-influenced 'Broken Glass.' But there's also the Bic-flicking, Marti Frederickson co-written power ballad, 'Sorry,' the minor key Anglo-rock of 'Everything' and the bluesy acoustic ode to 'Brooklyn.'
'We went into the studio and vowed not to come out until we had a successful, ass-kicking, career-defining album,' says Josh.
'We entered this process without an A&R guy or a label behind us,' agrees Keith. 'There wasn't a huge payday waiting for us.
It was about making a record we were happy with and believed in. At this point, I don't give a f**k about selling records if I'm not getting off on the music and the people I'm making it with. We learned that we can succeed creatively being self-contained and self-directed if we allowed ourselves to follow our instincts.'
'I've been trying all night long, cause I want to get next to you' - 'Next 2 You'
With FIFTEEN, Buckcherry hasn't just returned to the scene, they've grabbed it by the throat and are back in your face with renewed vengeance.
'I have a lot of pride in the album, years of experience and knowledge riding on the fact this is an opportunity to do what I do with a band that's awesome and that I enjoy playing with,' explains KEITH. 'Once you learn where the potholes in the road are, you can go around them. We're really fortunate in being able to get back together, absorb those lessons and move forward.'
'That's the best thing about America,' adds Josh. 'You can get a second chance... and I'm very grateful for it.'
On FIFTEEN, Buckcherry have survived the industry to show the world what they've always strived to become - a world-class rock band.

Lyrics Buckcherry Songs
Murder books and the face in my nightmares
Blood and tears and the enemy's right here
Sickened, broken, blood shed, murder you're children
Torture, treason, never falling out of war
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Sing my angel, life has slowly slipped away
Killing fields and I'm starting to miss you
Pornograph's all I got for a bedroom
Sickened, broken, blood shed, murder you're children
Torture, treason, never falling out of war
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Sing my angel, life has slowly slipped away
Life's so fragile a revolution taking place
Bullet shells and famine and stab wounds
I wish I could do more than write you
Sickened, broken, blood shed, murder you're children
Torture, treason, never falling out of war
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Standing on a broken glass!
Sing my angel, life has slowly slipped away
Life's so fragile a revolution taking place
Sing my angel, life has slowly slipped away
Standing on a broken glass
Thank you for being such a friend to me
Oh I pray a friend for life,
And have I ever told you how much you mean to me?
Oh you're everything to me
Thinking all the time how to tell you what I feel,
Contemplating phrases....I'm gazing at eternity,
I am floating in serenity...
And I am so lost for words
And I am so overwhelmed
Please don't leave just yet
Can you stay a moment please
We can dance together
We can dance forever
Under your stars tonight
We'll live and breathe this dream
So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories
And when I fall you're underneath
1000 broken hearts, carried by 1000 broken wings
There are days that take too long
It's those days I wish I had you right here in my arms
[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm gettin' lonely, I'm sick waiting here for you
I'm gettin' lonely, please come home cause I want to be with you, or maybe I'm a fool
Baby you still drive me crazy
Nothings gonna change me so you don't have to cry
Maybe I should take the blame
I guess a music man is no shelter from the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus:]
Baby you still drive me crazy
Nothings gonna change me so you don't have to cry
Baby you know that you saved me
Your loves so amazing you're never off my mind
[Solo]
Nothings going on I've been gone for way to long
I'll be right back in your arms don't be afraid
I'm getting closer, I'm making my way back home to you
I'm getting closer, I can see your face and the light keeps shining through, and what am I supposed to do
[Chorus]
Nothings going on I've been gone for way to long
I'll be right back in your arms don't be afraid
Alright!
Break me down
You got a lovely face
We're going to your place
And now you got to freak me out
Scream so loud
Getting fucking laid
You want me to stay
But I got to make my way
Chorus:
Hey!
You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream
I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
(Repeat Chorus)
Take it off
The paper is your game
You jump in bed with fame
Another one night payed in full
You're so fine
It won't be a loss
Cashing in the rocks
Just to get you face to face
(Chorus x2)
Get the video
Fuck you so good
Get the video
Fuck you so good
Crazy bitch
Crazy bitch
Crazy... bitch
(Chorus)
Hey
You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream
I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back
Come on!
Baby girl
You want it all
To be a star you'll have to go down
Take it off
No need to talk
You're crazy but I like the way you fuck me!
(Chorus x2)
You keep me right on
You're crazy but I like the way you fuck me!
Buried way beneath the sheets I think she's having a melt down
Finding it hard to fall to sleep she won't let anyone help her
The look on her face, A waste of time
She won't let go, Gonna roll the dice
Losing her grace, Starts to cry
I feel her pain when I look in her.
I wanna be, I want everything
I want everything
Somewhere she is on the streets trying to make things better
Praying to God and breathing deep
Gotta break this long obsession
The look on her face a waste of time
She won't let go gonna roll the dice
Losing her grace, Starts to cry
I feel her pain when I look in her.
I wanna be, I want everything
I want everything
I wanna be, I want everything
I want everything.
If I had everything would I Still wanna be alive?
Oh wanna be high
If I had everything would I Still wanna be alive?
Oh wanna be high.
Now and then she talks to me
And sometimes writes me letters
The look on her face a waste of time
She won't let go gonna roll the dice
Losing her grace, Starts to cry
I feel her pain when I look in her.
I wanna be, I want everything
I want everything
You know I wanna be, Yeah I want everything
I wanted everything everything
Your eyes, never close your eyes
And open up your mind
Oh and baby you can have everything
Your eyes, never close your eyes
And open up your mind
Oh and baby you can have everything
I want you to know that I see
All the reasons why you fail
I've seen all your motivations
Ones for good and ones for hell
When you close your eyes to see
The truth that's inside me
May you hold your breath to breathe
Your empty reality
If you had eyes to see
Down inside your stomach
Then you would understand
What I mean
Who I am
Who I am
I was pouring out of passion
To light the step you're on
You choose not to hear or waken
All thats left is you alone
When you close your eyes to see
The truth that's inside me
May you hold your breath to breathe
Your empty reality
If you had eyes to see
Down inside your stomach
Then you would understand
What I mean
Who I am
Who I am
You can't limit me
With all your gross mistakes
If you had eyes to see
Down inside your stomach
Then you would understand
What I mean
Who I am
Who I am
I'm on a plane with cocaine
And yes I'm all lit up again
Cough up love and touch up
Your mama said packing lines is sin
*
And yes I'm all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes, I 'm all lit up again
Flying...I love the cocaine
I love the cocaine
Mama can't you wait, mama can't you wait
I'm on a train, and right on
You know the train is staying off the track
I'm in touch from this crutch
Your at ten but money I'm on eleven
(*Repeat)
Crack the door for the curious girl
cause she's waiting
She's been waiting
Chop a line for the fiending man
cause he wants on
Can you feel it can you feel it
tonight are you high
Tell me are you fucking high
In the moment you are just so right
are you right love
(*Repeat)
Oh I had alot to say
Was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
This time I think I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
We get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
I'm sorry baby.
I'm sorry baby, Yeah.
I'm sorry.
