Many rock critics have hailed
Buckcherry as an awesome live act. The band has mainly been touring the US, but this summer
Buckcherry played a few European summer gigs. Finally this live disc proves
Buckcherry's abilities on stage.
Mostly "Live and Loud" relies on their latest album "Black Butterfly". Compared to the outstanding "15" "Black Butterfly" is darker and not as catchy. However, songs like
Tired of You and especially
Rescue Me have the fuel that the studio versions lacked
The album is 100 percent live. It's a raw and honest live album packed with sincere pure Rock N' Roll. Sometimes Josh Todd's voice drowns and the album comes off unpolished. The best thing about the album is the energy -
Buckcherry has succeeded in moving the venue into the living room.
Even the ballads
Everything and
Sorry works perfectly live.
Buckcherry is a guitar based band with Todd's vocals as icing on the cake. The breakthrough hit
Lit Up still sounds fresh and opening line "
I'm on a plane.with Cocaine" is as bright as ever. These guys have rock star charisma and got the material to prove it.
Open an ice cold beer - put this disc on and get the party started!
