Considering that Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd once told Classic Rock that Crazy Bitch is destined to be their epitaph, that song might be the reason the band are doing the business of rocking in 2025. In a way, with added furore around alleged misogyny and liberal use of the ‘F’ word, it’s their Sweet Child O’ Mine – a song crafted quickly, demoed and not particularly well thought of that somehow surpassed everything else they did. Funny how things work out.
But now, having recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their platinum-selling album 15 – the one with said Grammy-nominated track on – it’s credit to the band that they’re still pumping out bottle-rocket earworms. And new album Roar Like Thunder has plenty of them.
