December 2, 2010, 13 years ago
In a recent interview with Marko Syrjala of Metal Rules, BUCKCHERRY guitarist Keith Nelson discusses the band's self-titled debut album that was released in 1999.
Keith comments: "We were just so young. It's hard for me to listen to that record. I know a lot of people dig it and it's a moment in time, but it's really hard for me to hear that record because I think about how young we were and I just think we really didn't know what the fuck was going on. We were just signed to a major label, we were a bunch of broke guys from Hollywood, never made money, and got this major label record deal. So it all happened really fast and I just think that Josh (Todd) is a better singer, I'm a better guitar player, we're a better band and we're better song writers.
So when I listen to that record now, I can appreciate it for what it's worth, but I just think we're such a better band and I don't want to say different band, but we are a different band now. We've grown you know, and I think different in the best possible way. We're still a rock and roll band, it's really obvious, but I think we've just evolved a little bit. I think we're just better at what we do. We've played a couple thousand shows since then as well, so that doesn't hurt."
