Buckcherry Not Sorry For Hit

Buckcherry has wound up strong on the tail of their album tour cycle for their latest record 15. Their latest single, "Sorry," has crossed over to Top 40 chart, and they've reached Number six on the chart. The single caps off what was one of the hardest campaigns by a band, starting off with the viral Crazy Bitch, originally released on an independent album.

Video clip :

After some success as an indie band, their relentless touring and catchy rock sound caught Atlantic Records attention, which helped the band achieve their goal of making the album 15 platinum. So how does the band feel about the success of the single on top of selling one million records before "Sorry" went pop?

Buckcherry Hard Work Paying Off

[Jossh Todd] "You know, we're just happy. We've worked really hard and it's paying off and we're grateful. We're just going to keep on working and doing what we do best -- Rocking the free world and the nations around the free world." [Keith Nelson] "It was just a matter of time before it caught on. I think the five of us knew what was going on and it was a matter just waiting for everyone else to catch up, really."

A tired and slightly annoyed Buckcherry talked about crossing over to other formats of music.

Buckcherry On Sorry Crossing Over

[Todd] "It certainly does. As you know 'Sorry' is a big hit right now. OK? On Hot AC and it's going to Top 40. It feels fantastic. And you Keith?" [Nelson] "I've never cross-dressed in my life."

Buckcherry were welcomed at the Grammy Style Studio despite not being nominated for an award. Aside from a platinum album, they've also scored platinum with both the ringtone and the digital single for the dirty-rock anthem, "Crazy Bitch."

Crazy Bitch is probably one of the worst songs I've heard in the past few years.

[matalliam]

i like buckcherry, they aren't very commercial lie most bads are today, they're completely different from those stupid emo band you see around today, and they should be recognised for their efforts

[ninjaface]

I don't think their success can be attributed to "people finally catching on"... I think it's more a function of the massive amount of marketing surrounding this album that has allowed them to reach enough people with horrible music tastes (i.e. retards) to achieve the platinum mark.

These guys are still rockin' the lame sunset strip look that GNR had in the 80's. The differece being that GNR wasn't a pack of no-talent cheese balls. These dudes suck harder than a shop vac on steriods.

Nuff said.

Ninjaface

[Son_of_Kyuss]

this band is cliche 101. "Yeah, we all knew what was going on and it was a matter of everyone else catching up really." Oh yeah because these guys are clearly the future or rock music since they figured out how to write one song for the passive radio audience. Please, these guys are just as lame as Hinder, Nickleback and all that crap. This band is so cheesy it could give people heart-attacks. Rock n' roll is not that polished or pretty, these guys are just douche bags that want to be on the cover of magazines when they're not doing anything to push the envelope. I'm all for being in a rock and roll band, but these guys are like a joke, it's almost like they write the music just fit their image. These dudes just seem so caught up in making it huge they don't realize the music is supposed to be the star.

[Son_of_Kyuss]

Ninjaface and I are starting a rag-tag team of badass musical mecernaries that will write riffs so righteous it will make these fools dirt beneath our boots and you can too! Actually think about what you're writing instead of writing for others!

[Dead Cats]

The ass of msuic

[omarrodrigez]

What a dreadful group.

[Gregray88]

What a bunch of cocky jerks. You have no talent, you, like every other mainstream band these days, release an album with ONE hit song. And what do you know, no one else knows where you are in a year.

[guitarbutt]

FUCKING NUT SACK, ITS A GREAT SONG!!! NO POP SONG SOUNDS LIKE THAT!!!! THEY ALL HAVE SHITTY PRETTY VOICES AND JOSH HAS A ROCK VOICE!!! THEY DIDNT SELL OUT, SO FUCK EVERYBODY

[dethskar0]

I absolutely hate that song. I like some of their work... but that song... it's just terrible. It doesn't sound like them, there's no complexity to it whatsoever, and it's got some of the most cliche lyrics I've ever heard.

[JustinBrand]

Buck Cherry, Hinder, Nickelback, 3 Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Seether all suck ass... they all have no talent and write songs withput solos because they can't play anything involving any talent at all. They all sellout and make music to appeal to the radio masses. all of these bands have nothing distinctive about them and they all sound the god damn same. old bads like Zepplin, Van Halen, Maiden they all had a singer or guitar player or bass player to make them stand out and people know who they are. Now days when a new song comes on the radio people are like who is this because there is NOTHING that stands out, it is all the same. Buck Cherry is a waste of time and money. focus needs to go to real bands that have talent but are struggling... i have seen In This Moment 3 times they arent my favorite band but they have opened for megadeth and Heaven and Hell and they are struggling to make it big and they have alot of heart. Or 3 Inches of Blood they play $10 shows and they have opened for shadows fall and static x and Lamb of God... Why not help a good and talented struggling band that cares about the fans and music other than a sellout wannabe bitch like Buck Cherry.

Buckcherry not commercial? Are you retarded? Have you ever heard them? They are commercial sellouts to the max brother.

Ah how I love classic rock elitists. I'll agree that Buckcherry and Hinder and at times Seether are complete and total sellouts. I know this is equivalent to worshiping satan on here but even tho Nickelback writes some radio rock stuff, if you actually listen to their albums they rock pretty damn hard. Now 3 Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin? Are you retarded? Just because they're not Van Halen or Maiden or (your gods and I'm sure you masterbate to a poster of them every night) Zepp doesnt mean they suck ass. If you would actually listen to them and instead of automatically saying they suck just because they're popular, you would find that they are quite talented.

And I've always wondered...people (like JustinBrand) who discredit popular music just because its popular...shouldnt they not like the Zepps and the Van Halens and the Maidens even more? Since they've been popular longer? And are more famous? Just a thought

[mrryan]

i like how people are like "ooh i hate buckcherry they arent real rock.. real rock is-" then they name heaviest of heavy metal bands... this tends to happen after most bands are mentioned tho.

its quite obvious you like metal, so do I, your commenting on a Buckcherry news article...metal and rock are not the same, now i will admit there is a lack of technicality in todays rock, a lack of talent, thats up to debate...i just about shit my self when i heard double bass in a nickelback song.

now when you mention ZeppElin, Van Halen and Maiden you say that they have a singer or guitarist the make them awesome...well all of zeppElin were amazing, van halen all had members who were good and steve harris is one of my favorite bassists. so i guess i am agreeing with you.

just leave the elitist metal opinion out of a rock band...

[JustinBrand]

no beause Zep and halen and maiden all did amazing stuff for music they all started generes and im not saying those are my favorite bands but they all did amazing stuff and had thier OWN sound unlike those bands that are listed... and i do listen to the albums before i say that. i have listen to more music than u ever will and their albums suck. they have 1 cathy song per album and it makes them famous with having any talent it is all just luck. i dont hate them cause they are popular i hate them because they are unoriginal

[JustinBrand]

Quantonyme , your right i do like metal but i like other stuff too. i just dont like no talent bands dominating the charts with songs their producers wrote for them.

You have listened to more music than I ever will? What are you like 750 years old? And thank you for answering my question, you are officially retarded obviously. Really? Listened to more music than I ever will? Do you realize by that statement alone you should be required to wear a helmet at all times and also to ride the short bus around town?

Oh just another quick question, and if its too complicated for someone with your condition I'll break it down into smaller more easily understood words...

Who exactly does all of these bands you named (Nickelback, 3 Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Seether)...who do they sound like and copy?

[x0rsist]

reality check for anyone judgeing breaking benjamin because they are popular in the usa. where i live no one has heard of them, but they still rock.

[Nick-182]

they are so good!!!... :'(

No. Your face is NOT a ninja!
Crazy bitches XD.
and stuff about Nickleback and w/e Silver Side Up is a kickass album, at least most of it. And Breaking Benjamin is good, they just have the similar kind of vocals.

[Bananapatata]

After some success as an indie band, their relentless touring and catchy rock sound caught Atlantic Records attention,

No. Their original video on youtube.com, which just completely undermines women and is nearly a porno, is what caught Atlantic's eye. They got so many hits so fast thanks to the obsession of sex in America.

Thankfully it sounds like most people recognize the commercial aspect of this band and the lack of interest in and quality of the music they are putting out.

[Chris B]

Those bands might be popular and commercial to some degree. But I still like Seether alot. They're not on the radio that much. They've had like 4 singles play on the radio! I listen to most of their albums and I like their sound. I can't associate them with sounding like too many bands. So I will still say they're not sell outs, in my opinion.

"VIRAL" is the perfect way to describe that god-awful song.

[weez13]

Josh Todd has a solo album out there from when buckcherry was broke up that kicks ass, pretty much puts Buckcherry to shame.

[White Devil]

I like Buckcherry but I wish they would do a song that isn't about sex for a change

[Chevelle454]

i don't think buckcherry is that bad

[SERGEANT-D]

buckcherry is bad, in your opinion. they are a rock band. if you are an avid metal fan, don't just say they are shit. no-one will listen to you. if you don't like them, then why the **** did you read the article and then be bothered to type a comment about it. if you had any brains and knew you didn't like them, don't read it!!! i mean what difference do you think you're making? nobody cares about your opinions!!!

[Footzyrama]

It's like every other band that makes it. they get a bunch of dicks going wrong commenting on how much they suck. Well there album went platinum so they must be doing something right!!

However it must be said crazy bitch is there worst song.

[hollywoodrose]

nobody cares about yours either?

[jshizznit]

i hate to complain and seem ignorant but,

i dont like buckcherry, to get that out of the way, i dont like anything about them
-their repetitive music
-their pointless lyrics
-their WANTING to be poppy

i just hate it...they dont deserve to be that "famous" but hey, if they just want to be corporate drones its fine by me

But seriously, this band is just another one of those "radio sound" groups that make music so radio stations can play it in a continuous loop to fill in the silence between commercials. Honestly, I hear this song (and countless others) at work so often that I could sing along to it if I weren't trying so hard to tune it out.

What? You trash Buckcherry than turn around and defend bands from being trashed the same way you trashed Buckcherry? And you claim Buckcherry are commercial sell-outs then defend Three Days Grace? Did you read the article...Buckcherry worked hard as independents...writing a hit song doesn't make you a sell out.

I was agreeing with you until this point. 3DG is okay, but Breaking Benjamin and Seether? You would have to be an idiot to not see that they have talent, especially Breaking Benjamin. And obviously you have never even listened to BB because they do have solos. Get off of your high horse.

[distortion4116]

I have to agree. I listen to all the heavy metal, technically proficient bands as much as the next guy, but Breaking Benjamin do write some good songs. They don't sound anything like the rest of those artists. But hinder, buckcherry, and nickelback... ... yea..lol

[Biohazard]

once you realize that music isnt about flashy guitar solo's and people who can 40 notes a second, you will understand why buckcherry is not a terrible band at all.

and i would seriously consider listening to 15 the whole way through. it really isn't that bad.

its not that bad, i cant stand this song tho. theres way more songs they have that are better than this and this is the only one people talk about

[atomic69er]

I saw a show the past summer with Nickleback, Default, Finger 11, Staind, Headly, State of Shock and Buck Cherry...and I've got to say Buck Cherry was goddamn horrible, just plain all out garbage. Now, i'm no fan of headly, but i've got to say they put on a decent show. As did all the other bands. But Nickleback dominated, for those of you tarring them with the same brush as Buck Cherry, you should definatly check out their live show. It will undoubtedly change your opinion of them...but I will admit they are a very commercial band.

It was more of a general observation I see in all types of situations but it was sparked by the guy who was talking about slayer and them

[Spay]

What's with all the hate?

I thought Buckcherry brought decent music back to the reletive mainstream. I loved 15, and I was shocked when the single "Everything" wasn't a really big hit. It may not be complex music, but they're more melodic and catchy then any Slayer or Pantera song I've heard. And I'm a big Slayer and Pantera fan as well. While most of their lyrics are indeed thoughtlessly innuendo soaked, they have some really great humble moments as well. Seriously guys, stop trashing.

Why has no-one mentioned Next 2 You? Hasn't it been played on the radio enough? No?

I like these guys. It's not the "same GNR bullshit", it's different from everything else. The tunes are what I like to call "clever", the vocals are awesome and the lyrics may be a bit shitty, but who cares?

[AngryGoldfish]

Will everyone stop saying someone has no talent! Talent has very little to with how succesful you are in the music business anymore. It used to be with sheer skill at your job. Now, its just a matter of luck and determination. Being in the right place at the right time. My mate has one of the best shred bands I've ever heard, but he lives in the back ass of nowhere and thats where he'll stay! Talent is how hard you work and Buckcherry obviously have had the combination of working hard, being lucky and being decent at what they do! They don't shred, they don't sing about meaningful things, we've got Biffy Clyro, Tool, Deftones and Slipknot to do that!

[K.i.S.A.]

I just looked through my Breaking Benjamin albums... and there's a solo in just about every song. Sure, most of them are short and simple, but they're still solos. And as for Seether, they may not be the kings of originality, but has no one listened to One Cold Night? That's a great album. They've got tons of talent.

[jplay5]

theres nothing wrong with buckcherry, he has a unique voice, they play old school rock music,regardless of how mainstream it is,

sorry isn't for me, but their first album was great, lit up is one of my favorite songs

and they do play solos

[tbarrettl]

THis is called selling out literally.

[DanteLord]

ok um i DO think Buckcherry is pretty damn bad. So is hinder. So is nickelback. HOWEVER, you should not just say that "oh god nothing that comes out today is anything as good as it was 20 years ago", because some people like this stuff. And there are some people who hate Zeppelin and the Doors and The Beatles and so on (im not one of those people by the way) and the reason they got big is because PEOPLE LIKED THEM. So do the artists today. Many, many, recent bands have talent. You personally may not like them, but hey, you cant deny they have some rudimentary talent in there. So all im saying is keep an open mind. Hinder and Buckcherry may suck ass to me, but there are people who DO like them.

[Megallica666]

Buckcherry sucks ****.ing dick

[Dragon Master]

Nickelback, Buckcherry, and all those other emo bands are horrible. Buckcherry is alright, I suppose. They aren't so emo, when you get their music. However, they are awfully violent in their art covers. Also, I don't like how their best song is named "Crazy B****." Of course, one of Jet's best songs is named like that, so, I guess I can't really say that.

[FadetoBlackened]

Buckcherry sucks

[redhotsexmagic]

yea not really liking these guys at all..sounds like the dude is tryin to push out a turd when hes singing..and i want to bash my head into a wall when i hear that crazy bitch bullshit song..absolute crap imo. but someone must like it and they're making more money than me so...

[goldmember1217]

I'd rather stick my balls in an oven than listen to Buckcherry.

[Grapejuiceksjdf]

easily the worst band today

Wow, there's a crapload of stupid comments on this article. I understand if you hate Nickleback/Buckcherry etc. but there is no freakin' way that they are emo. You might have sounded halfway intelligent if it weren't for you changing your mind every other sentence. In all, you win the prize for most retarded comment.

As for MY opinion, I heard "Sorry" on the radio today. I never heard Buckcherry before that and I thought it was ok. Definitely not worth buying a cd or anything though.

[Masonpwiley]

Lol at this band

[SL!!!]

This band is ****ing terrible. Crazy Bitch is the worst song i've ever heard. But oh how fun patriarchal society is. What a bunch of redneck bros. I can't believe that song is so popular. What the hell is wrong with people?! Cripes. I'm going back to my own secluded life away from this junk now.

[TheReverend724]

has anyone noticed that buckcherry is just a two letter switch of country-rock legend chuck berry?
this band lacks originality
/creativity
and they sucks ass
i saw them live (they played w/ muse and sevenfold) but they were god awful!

[genresrforposer]

I actually really liked "Crazy Bitch" when it first came out.

Now though, a lot of the slight shock (it's not like it's never gotten that candid) of the lyrics is gone, I'm left with focusing more on the composition and... meh.

[dmaccy06]

This has to be my least favorite band of all time. If you don't agree you are simple, shallow, and slow.

[HolyDiver1118]

First of all these guys are OK nothing more. But I do have to give props to them because at least they aren't emo. But yeah they aren't that talented either. ANd just like Hinder, Nickelback, Creed (the list goes on) their gonna get a big head because they went "platinum" It always vexes me why bands who love their job and work their ass off for the music never make it big.

[HolyDiver1118]

Crazy Bitch was really cool when it first came out bbut then when everybody found out about it..... well you can pretty much guess at that. But Sorry isn't a horrible song either

Completely Agree!

I love how UG instantly jumps on the hate bandwagon on any song/band that gets a ton radio play. This website has become predictable.

[whitebluesboy]

I don't hate them because they were on the radio. I hate them because they are a lame aerosmith clone, except without the talent. Their singer has little to no range, their riffs are typical, lyrics cheezy, and no crazy guitar god. They should fight Hinder for the title of worst band ever.

[Ingsoc]

I thought Buckcherry was a Hinder sideproject.

I must say I am THOROUGHLY delighted to see this fantastic band get the recognition it deserves for passing through the gauntlet of artistic self-improsonment and fencing of creative boundaries. Truely no one in history has contributed as much to rock music as Hinderberry. Er Buckinder. Whatever. All I know is everytime I hear "Crazy Bitch", I want to air guitar in a Hot Topic bathroom mirror.

Thank You and Fool In The Rain by Led Zeppelin could be on a hallmark card...but it's Zeppelin so you don't say anything or else you'll look uncool! I think pretty much every major band has written a ballad that could be on a hallmark card...don't get me started on Van Halen the Sammy Hagar era probably kept hallmark in business.

That being said Crazy Bitch is probably my least favorite song on the album but it does manage to get some rock music in the bar's for a brief moment.

Buck Cherry, Hinder, Nickelback, 3 Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Seether all suck ass... they all have no talent and write songs withput solos because they can't play anything involving any talent at all. They all sellout and make music to appeal to the radio masses. all of these bands have nothing distinctive about them and they all sound the god damn same. old bads like Zepplin, Van Halen, Maiden they all had a singer or guitar player or bass player to make them stand out and people know who they are. Now days when a new song comes on the radio people are like who is this because there is NOTHING that stands out, it is all the same. Buck Cherry is a waste of time and money. focus needs to go to real bands that have talent but are struggling... i have seen In This Moment 3 times they arent my favorite band but they have opened for megadeth and Heaven and Hell and they are struggling to make it big and they have alot of heart. Or 3 Inches of Blood they play $10 shows and they have opened for shadows fall and static x and Lamb of God... Why not help a good and talented struggling band that cares about the fans and music other than a sellout wannabe bitch like Buck Cherry.

Actually, Buckcherry, Hinder, Nickelback and Seether all have songs with solos, atleast one anyway. And don't talk about them like they don't have talent. You have no idea what they are capable of playing. For example the guitarist of Sum 41 is an amazing guitarist, although it's pretty hard to tell from their songs. And who cares if someone writes music to appeal to the mainstream. What if they like mainstream music. Btw havn't heard the new Buckcherry stuff but I've heard some of their older stuff and it was pretty cool. Don't know what to expect with this though.

You have listened to more music than I ever will? What are you like 750 years old? And thank you for answering my question, you are officially retarded obviously. Really? Listened to more music than I ever will? Do you realize by that statement alone you should be required to wear a helmet at all times and also to ride the short bus around town?

Oh just another quick question, and if its too complicated for someone with your condition I'll break it down into smaller more easily understood words...

Who exactly does all of these bands you named (Nickelback, 3 Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Seether)...who do they sound like and copy?

Does UG give out awards for worst comment ever? Please deliver it to the nearest short bus factory. Honestly, even more than elitist comments, this is probably the worst one ever. That's saying something. Really, congratulations, for real.

I ****ing hate reading comments on this site nowadays... some of you have some brains and a level head but some of you seriously just need to either get a life or stop wasting good air.

Now, pertaining to the article... personally I think Buckcherry is good, but not great. They're pretty original as far as their overall sound but their lyrics are shallow and thrown together, and after a while all their songs sound the same-ish.

Also sorry for the immense comment. I just felt the need to trash these retards... I honestly think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let this problem sort itself out. Christ some people get on my nerves.

haha dude. you obviously dont pay attention to anything (not surprising, neither do half the people on here)... i agreed with somebody who basically said everyone who hates music just cause its popular should hate zep and van halen too. which to you apparantly meant i hate zep and any other big band. explain that one chief.

course than you went and topped yourself by saying id never trash van halen or anyone else's slow touchy-feely song because then i wouldnt look "cool".

haha dude. thank you. i needed a laugh today.

i trashed sorry cause its one of the fakest ballads ive ever heard. screaming: "im sorry im bad...im sorry about all the things i said to you and i know i cant take em back" doesnt exactly take a genius or a whole lot of feeling to write.

and honestly. i could give a shit who wrote what song. if it sounds good ill listen to it. if it sucks i wont. just cause you have your little biases about whos good or who sucks or w.e doesnt meen everyone else does.

[scud133]

***yall are all completely wrong****
They are nothing like nickelback. Thier album is amazing, its like if you took AC/DC and Aerosmith and crossed them. There are riffs in most of the songs that are straight off the alter of Angus Young and Joe Perry.
Don't hate just because you don't know. Preview some of the other tracks (non-radio) before you start passing judgment.

There's even a nasty slide acoustic blues tune on there... these guys are legit

[samtberg]

I like Buckcherry. You like what you like. If you don't like them, you don't like them.

I like: Buckcherry, Leadbelly, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, Brujeria, Mr. Lif, Mozart, Slayer, Thelonious Monk, Boney M, Daft Punk, Extreme, Jeru The Damaja...etc.

I don't like: Van Halen, Jay-Z, System Of A Down, Miles Davis, Puccini, Motley Crue, The Supremes...etc.

So there you go. Now what?

[Teppe]

Brooklyn is a pretty good song tho

[Vagabond21]

Buckcherry is a decent ROCK band. Whoever said their songs don't have solos is a retard and obviously hasnt listened to their music. They don't have standout solos but they do have some. Sorry and Crazy Bitch aren't their strongest songs (as far as showing off their talent) but the most likely to get airtime on the radio. Their style reminds me a lot of AC/DC. I'm not sayin they sound like them or are as talented as them, just that their style is the same. Yes, most new bands that get airtime on the radio suck. And most metal bands (lamb of god, 3 inches of blood) suck. There seems to be no in between.Buckcherry slightly stands out from all of this.

[killmequickly28]

you know...i read these posts to start my day so i can get a good laugh in..most of you people on here are douchebags who get off on ripping any and all bands...bravo i say. bravo.

[Dewey1040]

Buckcherry isnt nearly as bad as most of the bands today and especially not as bad as some of you say. Nickelback, Papa Roach, Seether(their ex-guitarist was good but he was fired), these bands are all completely untalented, Buckcherry could be worse, they atleast have solos, no shit the solos arent masterpieces, but they atleast show they know what their doing. they wrote music thats catchy, its still rock music. Just because a lot of people like something doesnt mean that its bad. and death metal is just as repetitive just a lot faster and the solos are shredd... not talent... watch youtube shred is more common

this band is cliche 101. "Yeah, we all knew what was going on and it was a matter of everyone else catching up really." Oh yeah because these guys are clearly the future or rock music since they figured out how to write one song for the passive radio audience. Please, these guys are just as lame as Hinder, Nickleback and all that crap. This band is so cheesy it could give people heart-attacks. Rock n' roll is not that polished or pretty, these guys are just douche bags that want to be on the cover of magazines when they're not doing anything to push the envelope. I'm all for being in a rock and roll band, but these guys are like a joke, it's almost like they write the music just fit their image. These dudes just seem so caught up in making it huge they don't realize the music is supposed to be the star.

...except the emo thing. its be fasionable either to be bashing the weak ass pseudo-emo scene or be a part of it. as with any false, soul-less, corporately commericialized music scene.
My Chem, Jimmy Eats World, Panic!, Taking Back Sunday, and all those other fags are just alt.-rock with no sense of real emocore (Fugazi, Rites of Spring, Antioch Arrow, Cursive, At The Drive-In, Sparta, etc.).
although with At The Drive-In and Sparta, they are more towards post-hardcore indie, if you can even consider than emo at all. **** what they are considered, they just kickass!

i was in agreement with you at first, but that death metal comment is so out of line. what the **** is with the genre dissing today?
most people defending Buckcherry (even in the most minial ways) are hating on a large group of to justify that their precious band is better.

there is so much good death metal (and all its sub-genres) that your comment is astounding and foolish. i bet you listened to one Deicide song and decided that was it.
mother****er, listen to Gorguts, Meshuggah, Opeth, Lethargy, Pavor, Edge of Sanity, Beneath The Massacre, Necrophagist (i much i as i hate Necro, i hate them even more for being so damn talented), Psycroptic, Cephalic Carnage, the tech 3 [Cynic, Athiest, and Pestilence], the Gothenburg 3 [At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, and In Flames], Arch Enemy, Amorphis, Paradise Lost, Devourment, Disgorge, Wormed, Dance Club Massacre, Black Dahlia Murder,
Arsonists Get All The Girls, Bring Me The Horizon, The Red Chord, and others. there is some much more, but this is all i could come up with off the top of my head.
you must be absolutely tone deaf (or just deaf) if you say that death metal is repetitve and talentless.

now before you death metal purists flame me, i will flame you. i indulge in a little deathcore here and there, and you are ignorant to believe that death metal is "pure". it is so bastardized and more varied than a lot of other genres. i mean, the neo-classical influence in Necro is pure metal and so is the jazz-tech of Cynic.
all you people are ****ing ridiculous.
music is music. whatever the shape or form. if you don't like it, fine. if you wanna diss it, fine. if you wanna be a retarded monkey, fine. but whatever you do, don't defended corporate schemes like Buckcherry. its an insult to the mentally-ill sapiens.

[Dragon Master]

For the record, I can't stand Buckcherry, or, those mainstream rock bands that are so depressing. I prefer alt-rock. REAL ALT-ROCK. First of all, Buckcherry is trying to carry Aerosmith and Rage Against the Machine together as influences for a new generation. 90's alternative rock was based in originality, as is today's music. It's not so wrong to use old rock to be original. There's no really original thought. However, Buckcherry is a slave to trends and Josh Todd makes Steve Tyler's jerky behavior pale in comparison. Honsetly, the only complete Aerosmith album I found worthwhile was Rocks. Other albums were alright, but that was the pinnacle of their work. No other album has had more great songs. At the right volume, you've got Aerosmith's archetypical record and one of the best records since Sergeant Pepper's and Electric Ladyland. The only one to top it is Appetite for Destruction.

[Dragon Master]

Oh, and I don't hate it, because it's mainstream, either. I hate it, because it is awful, in some respects. The band's great, in terms of musicianship. Songwriting and vocals, however, make a perfect band.

[dmaccy06]

I'll agree with you there. While im not really a fan of this band, at least they are making music different than that shit noise called emo.
