Buckcherry: 'Black Butterfly' Details

Buckcherry has set "Black Butterfly" as the title of its new album, which is expected to be released on September 23, reports Blabbermouth.net. The Japanese version of the CD will apparently arrive on August 27.

Buckcherry released "15" just over two years ago, beginning a comeback that saw the band play 300 shows, sell over one million copies of the record, and earn five hit singles after being all but defunct five years ago.

Buckcherry has just kicked off "Crüe Fest," the summer-long package tour headlined by Mötley Crüe. Keith Nelson told The Pulse of Radio a few weeks ago why he was looking forward to the trek. "Mötley Crüe is really one of those bands that I think is so ahead of the curve," he said. "For us to be out on the road with them with this package I think is really cool because you're getting a lot of different rock bands. You're getting a band like us, which I don't think there's anything out there quite like us, and you're getting a band like Papa Roach, which I think is probably the best band of the early new millenium bands. Throw in Trapt, who's great, who's had a lot of success, and the Sixx: A.M. guys, and it's just, it is a rock 'n' roll festival."

"Crüe Fest" will hit over 40 cities, closing out on August 31 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In addition to the CRÜE and Buckcherry, the lineup features Papa Roach, Trapt and Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx's side project, Sixx: A.M.

First! And I hope this is a good album. The singles from the last one were good, but not much other than that. Really, I only liked Broken Glass and Next 2 You.

[Rocker_94]

Awesome. Hopefully this is a great album. I really like Buckcherry and what they could do to modern music, like VR, Wolfmother, Jet and other newer rock and roll bands.

[Spay]

Yay, can't wait.

[Kiffa]

Sweet, cannay wait for this bugger.

[Take This Life]

pfft, Papa Roach, good? hahaha

Buckcherry are freaking sweet and hopefully their new album will rock like the others.

[hairypineapple]

Meh... Im not expecting much, but maybe ill be surprised?

[3dd_bggst_fan]

I like buckcherry but I am SO SICK of "sorry". it is so overplayed!

[toaster_poodle]

I really liked almost all of 15, but it could've been better. I hope they take the next step with this album.

Not a big Roach or Trapt fan, but Cruefest sounds pretty cool...might have to catch that in Milwaukee

[AnoKid09]

I like Buckcherry alot....but I'm suprised this page isn't full of flaming yet.

[schizz]

Is it me or do the singles and the rest of the album seem to be made by two totally different bands for Buckcherry? They're both pretty sweet though.

[fastlanestoner]

mother****ing aces!

[theotherguy7145]

Wow! Buckcherry rocks!
I hope they bring the Cruefest to England!

[b_flo]

[jplay5]

I think you'll find that Keith Nelson and Josh Todd spent a while in Velvet Revolver, and Slashes jamming sessions during that period fueled a lot of Buckcherry's latest album.

Aside from this, the band have, in my opinion, shown their songwriting talents to be first rate with their debut and second albums. I love Borderline and Check Your Head.

I used to as well, but I am SO SICK of them in general. Their music in general gets way overplayed. Overplaying music makes most normal people start to hate it.

The only Buckcherry song I've ever heard is "Crazy Bitch," and I absolutely ****ing hate that song. I can't stand it. It's the most idiotic, asinine, annoying song ever.

[Shredder Guitar]

i just.... i dont like them at all anymore. they try to make a touchy song to make all the girls love them, and the next thing you know, you hear a song that completely trashes all morals that were used in their other songs. i just dont get what theyre trying to accomplish. i hate it... their "hits" are too overplayed

Cruefest should be awesome this year. I'm so pumped to see Sixx AM, what a great new band.

[rhcpfan118]

one of the worst bands ever. just cookie mold average mainstream alternative rock crap that's constantly on rotation on any radio station. sad what the music industry has come to... :/

couldn't agree more

...

???

That was a joke, right...?

I like their older stuff, and I would NEVER go that far. Can't say that comment makes me want to listen to any of Buckcherry's new stuff.

[Wannabe Page!]

is it me or does the album artwork look like a certain POD album?

don't like them? then simply stfu and leave...

reported for flaming and spamming

what retarded was neither of you ever listened to their other songs.

but gotta admit supporting motley crue and praising Papa Roach are really sad.

[hooli94]

sweet!! can't wait!! im gonna buy a lot of cds for the last half of this year...slipknot..dragonforce maybe..and buckcherry..and alot others

[gibsonrock]

The "Too Drunk..." song is kinda lame. I was quite a fan of theirs for a long time, but they've gotten really juvenile. However you must check out Black Robot!! Its ex-members of the original Buckcherry (when they were at their best!) The Black Robot stuff is awesome!! Go to myspace.com/blackrobot
and check it out!! Very cool AC/DC type REAL Rock!! These guys are gonna be the next big thing!!

Well, they did collaborate with Marti Frederiksen(who wrote for Aerosmith) on Next 2 You and Sorry, so they have a slightly different vibe. But for the most part, I'd say the album flows quite well.
