AC/DC could pick any one of a dozen songs and sue for copyright infringement since they all sound the same.
They toured with AC/DC twenty years ago. I guess it rubbed off.

[MattleyCrue]

The first song I thought of when I heard the riff in that buck cherry song is this:

Defcon “Hard, Loud & Heavy”

[aznsquirt]

I don't hear it.

Just kidding, yes obv it's the most AC/DC thing ive heard

[DangerZone]

“Shoot to thrill” all day long until the vocals come in with the 90s bummer vibe

[LAglamrocker]

Sounds like D- version of Jetboy
This would definitely be B+ AC DC song
Vocals are not annoying and guitar actually sounds pretty good

Josh Todd will be singer for Skidrow in 2028 it’s his turn

[WentEast]

Have a Drink on Me in the verse riff. Shoot to Thrill in the intro.

[Wild Obsession]

BC has always had a hint of AC/DC to their sound, but yeah this new song definitely sounds like a mashup of actual AC/DC riffs.

[sirthx2]

From the upcoming album: Roar Like Thunder Struck

[LitaStrauss]

It must be copy AC/DC month. The Darkness just came out with their new album and this song called "Mortal Dread" also sounds just like AC/DC. It's like a slowed down version of "Shoot To Thrill." It's 100% AC/DC.

Well, considering there have been several Buckcherry threads already & they all seem to devolve into "these guys suck & are completely unoriginal", this tracks.

[Wild Obsession]

Buckcherry rules! The debut, Time Bomb and 15 are great, All Night Long and Hellbound are really good, Black Butterfly, Rock N Roll and Volume 10 are solid. Only albums I couldn't get into were Confessions and War Paint (essentially the 2 albums where they strayed from their signature style).

[CrankerBait]

Sounds a lot like AC/DC, except for the vocals. I think Buckcherry are very hit or miss, but I like this song.

[Black Stuff]

Their first big tune reminded me of Abe Freshley

[FreddyFender]

The riff and music are sold... love that fat fuzzy bass.... but the lyrics/melody sound like they were written by AI. Boring.

not high (this time )

holy crap, this is Krokus or Airbourne level plagiarism!!

Maybe another thread but name the best AC/DC song that's not AC/DC??

I'll go for Long Stick Go Boom or Blonde, Bad And Beautiful

Love Krokus! Just saw them on the cruise and met Marc. Great guy, real friendly.

[BootyDaddy69]

yeah it does but I like it

[diamondave22]

Buckrokus!

People say Buckcherry are a B band .

There are worse bands that have become way bigger .

Motley Crüe is a example

[endstand]

Buckcherry have done random AC/DC type songs…since forever. Many of them have been better than this.

This sounds pretty much something that was created by AI. You can not be original when you try to do AC/DC, but you can do it in a catchy way and add SOMETHING own to the mix. But this has nothing.

However, still cool that they are still releasing new music, so props for that.

[Michael Hotts Ghost]

Its starts with the Shoot To Thrill intro. Then it hits a few moments of Dog Eat Dog and then the beat kicks in with Hell Aint A Bad Place To Be. Be hilarious if ACDC sued their asses. Influence is one thing... this is straight up rip off.

[VincentVanWinger]

I'm so tired of this shit. It's 2025. None of these bands are relevant. Who gives a fuck. Sue? Seriously. It's that serious?
These bands are 20-45 years old. All past their prime. What do you expect these bands to do anymore? There is nothing new under the sun. These bands have tried to sound fresh or original before and it sucked. All these bands influenced each other to some extent of course the music is going to reflect that. This is why the world sucks. Everyone has their dildo shoved so far up their ass about everything.

[MattleyCrue]

It might sound like Helix “Give it to you” also

[StateOfShock]

Definitely has an AC/DC feel to it. I like the song. Probably should have been the first single.

[Deege]

I think it's more than just the feel they're copying here. It sounds like they literally A/Bed the mix with the Back In Black album and literally tried to copy the guitar and bass tones and even the drum sound as close as possible.

I think she just outed herself

[Fletch]

I’m surprised he doesn’t sing for AC/DC now.
