RockMusicStar.com's Thomas Stanley Orwat Jr. has issued a new interview with BUCKCHERRY guitarist Keith Nelson. The following is and excerpt:
Q: Your new CD, All Night Long, is a solid release and shows a new maturity. I’m impressed in the band's ability to progress to the next level without losing your trademark intensity. How did you go about maintaining that?
A: "You know, I don’t think we really thought about that. We’re fans of music and I think the goal really is making records that we want to buy. So it really starts there. But the longer the band is together, the more comfortable we get with each other, the less thinking is involved and the music is just coming out. And I think you are hearing some of that too."
Q: Another very noticeable aspect of the CD is that there is no profanity on any of the tracks. Was that done intentionally for airplay?
A: "Our singer, Josh Todd, challenged himself to say what was on his mind without dipping into the bag of expletives. That was something that he personally wanted to explore and I think he did it with great success. You take a song like 'Oh My Lord', he sang a lot of stuff in there that can be taken in a very sexual way, but without being so obvious. I applaude him for his approach and for pushing himself."
