(1/16/01, 1 p.m. ET) - With the release of Buckcherry's self-titled debut album in 1999, critics often compared the Los Angeles rockers to such classic bands as Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, and the Black Crowes, to name a few. Buckcherry vocalist Joshua Todd says their upcoming second album, Timebomb, should eliminate such references.
He tells LAUNCH he's "sick of" such comparisons. "One thing that's gonna happen with this second record is, when you hear a Buckcherry song, you know it's Buckcherry," he says. "It's just gonna be us. There's gonna be no more of that stuff anymore, you know--we'll definitely have established a sound, and that's what I'm really excited about."
Todd tells LAUNCH he never understood those comparisons in the first place. "When I hear Buckcherry and I hear comparisons, I'm like, 'What are people thinking?' Really, because when you hear a song like 'Dead Again' and then a song like 'For The Movies' and then a song like 'Lit Up,' I don't know how you can get, like, the Black Crowes out of that, or GNR, for that matter. You know, I don't even sound like that as a singer. Maybe the guitar tone? I don't know."
Timebomb arrives in stores on March 27. It features the single "Ridin'."
