He got in a big car accident and fucked up his neck. That probably had something to do with it.

Oh no. Are you serious? That's horrible. Here I am thinkin it was somethin shallow. That's terrible.

Daniel Bedingfield did the same thing. That's when his sister decided to start recordin. These Words, from what I understand, is written to him.

chuckaducci said:[quote]There are some bad bands mentioned in this thread:


Buckcherry was hardly a good band gone poof; the tunes on the first album are nothing but derivative AC/DC & G N'R drivel, which in turn, leads to more derivative drivel. "Lit Up" may have been a catchy tune but damn, that was the only thing on that album that was worth listening to. Buckcherry was hardly a great debut and hardly original. And Deee-lite and Lucy Pearl do not belong in this thread. Rockwell? Yes. Lucy Pearl and Deee-Lite? No.

First of, very few bands now days can claim 2 b original. As for AC/DC
GNR drivel, u clearly have no taste as those were great bands. Buckcherry
came along at a time of rap metal or nu metal and it was great 2 hear a
band bringing it all back and doing something no one else was doing. Their debut
is a great album, what about Crushed, Dead again, check your head, dirty mind,
all fantastic songs.In the UK the NME had a spread saying they were the "next
big boys of rock...testosterone pumping, beer drinking, snorting, shagging rock
Gods". Better management, better timing and the band managing 2 keep itself together would have bode a better future for them. Their comeback single Crazy bitch, despite its lyrics is starting 2 catch on 2 U.S radio I see...

And the video plagued my formative years.

Anx said:

Meh,.. I've heard the first two albums. They were okay. But nothing was happening musically that could make me consider them a "good" band. I'll spot you that the last album was good, but I think in order for me to consider a band "good" that adjective needs to be spread out over a band's work consistently. As for questioning whether or not I have the weight to be in this discussion,.....if you say so.




No it's not. You are the one who said that C+C was "crap" in comparison to DL. To voice my disagreement with that statement, I pointed out that C+C's main vocalist could be considered a better vocalist than Kier. I also pointed out that one of C+C producers, David Cole, was a highly sought after and talented songwriter. They couldn't have been entirely "crap."

matrixrox said:

There are several bands that are releasing music today that I hold as original. Gimme a break with that "nothing's new under the sun" speech.





If you say so. Buckcherry wasn't the only hard rock band at the time of their debut and I would hardly say that their 80s glam/heavy metal retreads were "great." What is it about those songs that makes you think they're musical manna from heaven? Obviously I've a different conception of what "good" and "great" mean to me than some of you. Buckcherry was a "fun" listen but "great?" I dunno...






To me, that's a fun listen. After I've weeded through the style, the image and promotion, I'm left with mediocre songs. Attitude only gets you a few spins on my record player. You gotta have substance in order for me to think you're great or good. And I think NME's a joke. In fact, sometimes, I think the entire UK musical press is a joke.

good performers have worked with less-than-stellar producers. martha wash is legendary. and her treatment by C+C and the record label is almost as legendary, and not in a good way. i don't know enough about david cole's career to judge him as an artist, but i know i hated C+C music factory.

BBD and Boys to Men


Shabba!!!!!
Maxi Priest and Shabba- remember that?

Boys II Men didn't really go poof as much as they just faded out.

cborgman said:

oh i feel SO scorned. after all, i was only able to see deee-lite back when they were together on the dewdrops tour, front row...and miss kier passed me a j during the middle of the show.

(however, dumbass geek admission: i passed said j without partaking of it. )

Anx said:

She's a cutie.

Anx said:

Yeah, and if she wasn't more concerned with partaking of that substance, we'd probably have a Kier solo disc. A friend of mine who worked in a wrecka stow was friends with her. He shot video for her at Wigstock. Said she was working on a solo disc, but never got her shit together.

Whatever. Dee-Lite is/was cool. Saw them at Toad's Place during the "Dewdrops" tour. The same friend brought me backstage to meet her after the show. She signed a "Dewdrops" flat for me. The room reeked of weed. She was MAD cute in person.

Anx said:

Marsha Wash's treatment by the label is based upon sales and discrimination as the obese are the most discriminated group in this country. But that kind of mindset is rampant in the industry. Believe me, if Beyonce looked like Marsha Wash,....it'd be a whole 'nother story; she'd be dating me instead of Jay Z.


I guess you should find out about David Cole as I should find out about DL's last record: we both think of each as "good."

Rogue588 said:

yeah, i've heard from many sources that her shit was far from together, which is a huge shame.

chuckaducci said:

oh, thank god.



i was afraid i was goign to have to point out how crap rockwell is, and if someone isnt already aware of that, i was gonna have one HELL of a time making them realize it.

Anx said:

now i feel better.

Rogue588 said:

she sang 3 songs from her "upcoming solo album" at wigstock. they were kinda good... i hope it happens.

and she seemed high. but i was too. so... meh.

Someone actually compared Buckcherry to AC/DC... NOT! But I did like their version of Nasty Boys by Janet.

I was always disappointed there were so few g'n'r albums before they fell apart.I believe Chinese Democracy is looking good though.

ok..ya'll gonna hurt me for this one....but


I was on yahoo...I was listening to the 1980's r&b station and they played


Crush on you by the Jets.


OMG...I danced so damn hard!!!


Why not a new Jets...didn't they have like 18-19 kids in that families


then they played Oh sheila....I almost fainted....

I miss all them damn groups from back then...especially from 1987-1993.

Prince & the Revolution -- their demise really broke my heart, epecially after that stellar Parade.

The Sundays -- I discovered them when "Summertime" was getting spun by MTV on the regular, and they were doing spots on Letterman and such.

The Paula Cole Band -- Momma Paula just needs to come back, for real. Her vocal chops and the stylings of the other two musicians in that band made her third album a treat to hear.

I'll throw Semisonic on this fire. Great pop/rock group, but kind of a one-hit wonder. Their 3 albums hold up, though. And they covered 2(!) Prince songs.

ThePunisher said:

You couldn't be anymore wrong if you tried. Buckcherry used the same big, polished hard blue-rock musical template replete with the screeching vocals and big hooks that AC/DC used.

Heavy influence from AC/DC and GNR. Plus, Steve Jones produced their first album, so maybe some Sex Pistols, too.
