Editorial Reviews

Formed in 1995, Buckcherry, led by Joshua Todd and Keith Nelson, quickly earned a major following on the L.A. club scene. Signed to DreamWorks Records, the band issued their self-titled debut album in 1999. With its hard hitting riffs, the album, produced by Terry Date and Sex Pistol Steve Jones, firmly established the band as one of the finest around. The album unleashed the hits 'Lit Up,' 'Check Your Head' and 'For The Movies,' becoming a rock and roll classic. This Special Edition CD/DVD version of the classic Buckcherry debut album contains the remastered original album, as well as a DVD featuring three rare audio tracks (two studio recordings from 1999, 'Late Nights in Voodoo' and 'Fastback 69,' both commercially unreleased in the U.S. and 'Lit Up' (live at Woodstock '99), commercially unreleased in the U.S.) and seven rare videos. The seven promo videos:' Lit Up,' 'Check Your Head,' 'Dead Again,' 'For The Movies,' 'For The Movies (Live Footage),' 'Crushed (Live At The Viper Room)' and 'Check Your Head (Live At The Viper Room)'.

The Good
Despite the fact this release is an obvious cash-in, it's still the album that put Buckcherry on the map and allowed them a little bit of recognition for a while. Who can forget the jarring opening riffs out the balls-to-the wall party anthem "Lit Up?" I still turn the radio up every time this one kicks off on the radio. "Crushed" is also just as in-your-face and raw as it's predecessor. "Check Your Head" starts off like one of those poignant ballads with acoustic guitars under smooth vocals. The pace picks up as vocalist Josh Todd gets into how your life could be worse.

Buckcherry infuses some bluesy tones and virtuoso style soloing into "Dirty Mind." When this album came out back in 1999, the rock power ballad was pretty much dead. "For the Movies" took me right back to that time with it's slow, emotional verses, and powerful choruses. Even though the lyrical content has been done ad nauseam, the musical arrangement still moves me. "Borderline" also has a blues swagger to it that compliments Todd's cock-sure delivery perfectly. Guitarist Keith Nelson puts his wah-wah pedal to good use on "Get Back."

The bonus DVD included gives you all of Buckcherry's videos that were released for the album; "Lit Up," "For the Movies," "Check Your Head," and "Dead Again." In addition to that, three live performances from the Viper Room, as well as an alternate version of "For the Movies." But that's not all. 2 unreleased audio tracks, "Late Nights in Voodoo" and "Flashback 69," and a live version of "Lit Up" from Woodstock '99 are also included.

The Bad
And for the third and final time...it's a cash in. The band probably won't see a dime.

The Verdict
Buckcherry's debut is a long way from the melodic and smoothed over sounds of their latest album 15, but still a piece of their hard rock history. Even though the group has come a long way from their humble beginnings, you can still hear the groundwork being laid for their future success with this collection of impactful music.

I love these guys, great reissue with a dvd If you have the first album already you'll still want this for the dvd, which has there video's + some live stuff. Packaging is pretty much the same, my only complaint is that they should have put some bonus tracks on the cd, there's a couple on the dvd.
