With the 2,200 or so fans in attendance, the band brought the Los Angeles sleaze rock to the cold and wet air of Detroit in a 70 minute set that focused on a lot of new material from their tepid return album “15”.

Led by heavily tattooed lead singer Josh Todd, Buckcherry came out to one of the few strong tracks off the new album, “So Far”. The band focused heavy on the new album, and the album that sent the band into hiding for four years, 2001’s undervalued “Time Bomb”. Todd, guitarist Keith Nelson and company dove into fist pumping tracks such as the aptly titled “Porno Star” and the new single “Next 2 You”.

But most of the fans who came out for the event were in the crowd to hear one of the biggest tracks of the year, the out-of-left-field hit “Crazy Bitch”. The song was intended to be a reintroduction of the band to fans, but took off, thanks to a highly risqué video streamed all over the internet. The band launched into it halfway through the set, which satisfied everyone in attendance.

The band let the crowd sit it out patiently, until Buckcherry ended the show with the drug-fueled signature hit from the band “Lit Up”. Even with “Lit Up” in the set, the band disappointed some, leaving out many songs from the band’s superior debut album.

Even with those omissions, it looked as if most fans inside the State left happy. But with those songs being left out, the show was nothing special overall.

Alabama modern rock outfit Crossfade opened up the show with a 45 minute set, hitting on all of the hits that have been ubitiquous on rock radio for the past few years, such as “Colors” and “Cold”.
