Controversy

This band has been linked to numerous stories about leaking its own music for PR. While not the most reliable source, here is a link of what I'm talking about: http://torrentfreak.com/band-leaks-track-to-bittorrent-blames-pirates-080731/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.30.125 (talk) 19:28, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy Bitch Cover

I tried to put a cover to the crazy bitch single on the crazy bitch page but it didn't work so I put it back. If anyone wants to do it here's the link to the picture http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/8205/crazybitch9ix.jpg That is because every bitch is crazy -JJCook

Section

The next 2 you fan-video does not belong in it's own section.

"Sleaze" Usage

First off, I must say that calling anything "sleaze" in an article is POV.

This is from the "Sound" section

On their debut record, they successfully treaded heavy metal territory while managing to stay hard rock, while on Time Bomb, the band took their sleaze to an extreme with an excess of profanity and attitude.
With 15, Buckcherry has continued their decadent, glam metal inspired sleaze, ignoring popular trends in music.

I agree, "sleaze" should probably be edited out. This is an encyclopedia, not a Rolling Stone music review.--H.al-shawaf 22:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its not an opinion they are a Sleaze Rock band & Sleaze Rock is a Genre.

Chuck Berry Trivia

Interesting bit of but I've never read that anywhere. Whoever put that, where did you get that bit of information from, I'd like it to be confirmed. jewofunk 06:40 January 14, 2006 (UTC)

Look at discography on the previous page. if u look at the albums, fifteen is up there twice (once for the American release, and twice for the Japanese release). below is are the release dates. it was released in America on 11 April 2006. but in japan, it was released 29 November 2005. it could just be an error on the page, but that's where it came from

Japan

Anyone care to clarify why an American band released their third album so much earlier in Japan than in the US? Blocky 02:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

cuzz they were touring Japan I think and probably had no label in America and wanted to try and hype it up since they were unsure it would be successful after such a long time since their last record that bombed. At least that's what I think.

Crazy Bitch

Shouldn't 'Lit Up' count as their 1st hit, not 'Crazy Bitch'?

Well "Lit up" was a mainstream rock hit but "Crazy Bitch" is their first real hit" It hit 3 on mainstream rock , 13 on modern rock and I think 40 something on the billboard , it's a bigger overall hit. But in someways you're right. It's what first got them noticed and on charts.

Even though it wasn't as big overall, "Lit Up" was bigger on mainstream rock, hitting #1 for 3 weeks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.42.164 (talk) 02:01, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Severe Vandalism/Marketing

What's going on around the bottom third of the page? I see what looks like a mass marketing attempt. Can someone sort out what's part of the Wiki and what's been added? Gwrtheyrn 20:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah someone seems to be trying to sell Josh Tood merch or some shit. I'm trying to fix it up.

Tell me about it. I came across this page, looked at the history... dear god. It's okay now, but I'll watch it from here on in. --Dayn 03:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

-Someone fucked it up again. There should be restricted access to the page or something to stop all the josh todd marketing. This is the person's IP code who vandalised it according to the history page-24.5.84.193. I looked at their edit and then undid it so now the page is back to normal.

I've noticed both this page and Josh Todd (the artist's) Wiki page seem to talk more about the band than they should. I've been editing Josh Todd's page for a bit, trying to even it out some, but I don't feel his endeavors as a solo artist, aside from a passing mention of him forming another band during the break from Buckcherry, should be mentioned. I see mention of JOSH TODD (band) members (listed above Buckcherry members) and the album art and singles for his solo album. Save that for his personal page or for a new article on the band. I'm going to remove them. This is a Buckcherry article. 24.222.102.68 03:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Atleast once a week/month someone re-adds information about JOSH TODD band members, albums and singles. Once again, this is a Buckcherry Wiki article, not Josh Todd the artist or JOSH TODD the band's Wiki. Information about JOSH TODD the band can be added to that band's Wiki now that it has one. I'd be tempted to go so far as suggest locking the article.

???

Shouldn't Buckcherry be listed as an Alternative rock band as well as Hard Rock? I dunno, I am having a hard time figuring out what is alternative or not. To me almost every rock band that came up in the 90s is alternative. They are often played on the altenative format radio station here. Alternative rock is way too broad... but i love it. lol. (Tigerghost 10:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Buckcherry plays Sleaze Rock and Hard Rock. They weren't influenced by any Alternative Rock band. The Darkness and Lenny Kravitz songs were also on the Modern Rock charts but they aren't Alternative Rock bands.

Why are they listed as a heavy metal band? Is that a joke? I mean, calling them "hard rock" is enough of a stretch... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.36.39 (talk) 05:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

critics

Buckcherry is a very dangerous because they will harm the rights of girls as free men. I nevr heard of this band before but when a very depressed girl on instant messaging from the US told me about this band I was really shocked what is happening in a free country like the USA. Because I cannot see a crying girl I asked how to help. She wanted no website so I promised her to try something to tell people what the band want to do. Altough she is really wild she had no idea how to tell people about it. After listening to some songs of this band I knew what she meant. Now I tried to post it here. Please don't refuse it. Even tough you're fan of this band you should let this be part of the article. If you think there is something wrong with my grammar just correct it. I am no native English speaker. Maybe you should rewrite it in a little more neutral way. Maybe it is to offensive. But if you change something it should keep its function. Please respect it. I don't want to let someone harm somebodys rights. And I don't want to write something what is not the truth but I think she told the truth and I know what I heard. If you have doubts and want to demur please post it here. She thought there it's same with the singer Akon. But since the article is protected I cannot write something - maybe I should create an account. But maybe there is someone is willing to help. I would be prout of anyones help. Thank you at all Wikipedia community. --217.234.107.248 (talk) (spyro02) 19:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Black Robot

WTF is with that? Looks kinda like an ad for some nameless band of has-beens. Somebody needs to move this or delete it altogether. EthanEndlessNameless (talk) 08:14, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing info/continuity

There appears to be information missing that leads to confusion in the 'Recent events' section:

It starts by talking about "another lawsuit" being filed against the band, yet doesn't mention a first lawsuit anywhere.

Also it goes on to talk about the bands 4th album release but the article has completely skipped any mention of a third album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.146.138 (talk) 22:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and the reformation of the band with three new members in 2005 is barely described at all. I am going to do some work on this article soon, based on this issue and a few other things that were mentioned in earlier threads above. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:36, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've cleaned up the article (though I didn't realize I was not singed in at the time) and removed most of the promo material for Brightman's band Black Robot. Since he and the others are no longer in Buckcherry, their later activities only deserve a basic mention here. Black Robot needs to progress to the point where they deserve their own Wikipedia article. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:33, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

Yesterday I redirected All Night Long to this article but an IP reversed it. The reason I redirected it is because not only was it unsourced, but I couldn't find any sources on Google for a release date or a track listing (the track listing even said "not officially confirmed tracks"). It says something different now, but the tracks still aren't confirmed. Erpert (let's talk about it) 17:41, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree with turning the article into a redirect. Blabbermouth has confirmed the release date, label, etc. for the album. The unsourced track listing can be removed. RG (talk) 23:38, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fair enough. Erpert (let's talk about it) 01:14, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures of Josh Todd and Buckcherry

There's way better pictures of him and the band on their official site. I found a better close up of him, here, and there's individual of the other band members too. Skakdi (Talk) 05:28, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Genres

According to the source in the article, Buckcherry's genres are Hard rock, Post-grunge, Alternative metal, American traditional rock, and Heavy metal. These should not be changed without another source. I did not put the source in the article, but I initially changed the genres after someone put Punk rock as one of their genres, which is not in the source. I just undid an edit where someone removed every genre except hard rock. Thank you. GamerKiller2347 (talk) 09:45, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
