Chuck Shute:

Hey, thank you for checking out the show if you're new and if you're subscriber Welcome back. We got a great one today Josh Todd from Buckcherry is here to tell us all about their new album volume 10 comes out June 2, and they're touring with one of my favorite bands Skid Row. So we're going to talk about the new album some old stuff a little Josh, Chuck Todd trivia, and more stick around. Ready to this interview? I'm sure you've been doing a lot of these lately.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, I've been doing a whole lot. Yeah, but it's good. It's all good. You know, we got a great new record come in, and this is part of it.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, absolutely. So let's talk about a new album's called volume 10. And it's out June 2. Tell me about it because it's produced by Marty Fredrickson. I'm sure he co wrote a lot of the tunes as well talk about him because, I mean, his resume is amazing. Aerosmith, Def Leppard Mick Jagger, Ozzy. I mean, he works with these A listers. Was it hard to look him with a schedule?

Josh Todd:

No, you know, we've worked with him for a long time. It goes way back to 15. We co wrote, he co wrote sorry, with us, and he produced a couple of records back then. And, and so yeah, you know, we did hell bound with them and wrote a lot of songs, you know, we get together, he's like, the six band member, you know, it's like, it's like you said, you know, he's worked with a lift guys and, and girls, and, you know, Stevie and I, and we get in a room with him, you know, we're always on high alert. Because, you know, you know, we're gonna learn a lot and, and also, you know, we want to squeeze every, all the information we can out of him, you know, and it's, it's really a lot of fun. You know, we went on a nine day songwriting session in Nashville, prior to actually recording the record. And we wrote eight songs and nine days, it was incredible. And we write really fast together, and we always do what's best for the song, and we just have this like magic, you know, between me and Stevie and Marty, and it just works. So we keep going back to that. Well.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, no, it's definitely work. This is a classic Buckcherry record. But I think there's also going to be some a few surprises for fans also the you know, some twists and turns. Obviously, the first couple songs, let's get wild. I mean, that's just like classic like uplifting. I love the song or the lyric adrenaline straight to my core. Yeah, it's, you know, it's a classic Buckcherry is that that's assuming that's when you're gonna play live.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, we've already been playing that live and good time and shine your light, you know, we've been doing, we've dropped all three of those, you know? Yeah, it's, those are really kind of quintessential good time rock and roll Buckcherry songs, you know, but you know, the record has a lot of depth as well, as you were saying, I think that's what you're referring to. And songs like, you know, feels like love and pain and with you and stuff like that, you know, it's just, it's a fun ride from beginning to end and can't wait for everybody to hear it.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, I was. You did my buddy's podcast, Clint Schweitzer and he you were talking you guys were talking about feels like love. And I thought it was interesting. It was inspired by the Def Leppard hysteria. Like you're like, I want to record his stereo version for Buckcherry. And it does kind of sound like that.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what we talked about prior to Marty and Stevie going in and writing the music to it, you know, I get obsessed with songs, you know, and I was really obsessed with hysteria for a long time. I just thought it was such a great song. There's so many times that song is hit me when I'm driving. And I just blast it in my car. And I'm like, man, so good. I want one I want something like this, you know, and so I put it to Marty and Stevie and they came up with some great music for me and I went to the hotel and wrote for like, two hours to get to where it was, you know, lyrically and melodically and actually, the melodies Marty came up with some of the melodies in that phone and just came together went really well.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, that's a cool one. I think I know this one's about but can you tell me the song one and only because some of the lyrics are really powerful in that one it's like if we can i It's okay to read the lyrics I don't want to give too much yeah, yeah, but it just like that lyric like if we just do what we are told that talk is getting old left me in the deep end paralyzed with thinking nothing can control this time is our one and only I was like, oh, that's that's really powerful stuff.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, that's kind of like the sign of the times you know, that song you know, everything really affected me. And everybody for that matter, you know, the pandemic and everything that was going on the United States and all the fallout from everything and you know, all this stuff, you know, craziness on social media and negativity and all all this stuff. It really He weighs on you at times if you, you know, give it too much power, you know? And that's what came out, you know, one and only?

Chuck Shute:

Yeah. Do you find yourself like I know, for me, I feel like I have to limit my time on watching, looking at the news or social social media basically isn't news now. So I feel like I have to, okay, I need to get off of that, you'd have to do the same thing where you're like Tic breaker.

Josh Todd:

I do that. I'll tell you what I do. I stopped watching the news. A few years ago, I got a few years off the news, which is great. You know, I do have a news feed. And my but I only put in stuff that I'm interested in. So it's only like, it's like, National Geographic and time and like the Los Angeles Times and like stuff like that stuff. I'll just want to read and I'll keep up with current events. But I don't watch the news. Because it's it. It plagues your mind. You know, I only know this from not doing it anymore. You know, so? Yeah, so I don't do that. And then social media, I limit to five to 10 minutes a day. That's it tops, I'm done. So Wow. Yeah, all that has really, really helped me and you know, only because I just, you know, it was just not healthy for me, because I did this, like experiment when myself I go, I'm gonna do 30 days off social media and see how I feel, you know, and I felt great. You know what I mean? And so I continued, and, you know, there's other things I do on social media. I, whenever I post something on my personal Instagram, I turn off, commenting, you know, so, so I'm so anyways, I'm not seeking validation, I'm not seeking any of that, you know, it's strictly to kind of let everybody know what's going on musically. And, you know, where we're at, and, you know, shows or promotion. And that's it, you know, and everything else I'm done with, you know, and it's really been healthy for me, you know, I don't know about other people, but I dig it.

Chuck Shute:

No, that's Did you ever see that movie?

Josh Todd:

Yeah, social dilemma on Netflix. Yeah. And it was after seeing that, too. I'm like, Man, this is, this is heavy, you know? And I think everybody should see that, you know, yeah, it's pretty.

Chuck Shute:

It makes me want to delete my social media. But then, for me, it's like as a podcaster. Like, I need it. Like, I have to have to promote myself. I

Josh Todd:

mean, yeah, me too. I gotta do I gotta deal with it to a certain degree for my business. But you know, we also have people that, you know, do that and handle that and manage that. And then I just check in, you know, very, very short period of time, every day, make sure everything's cool.

Chuck Shute:

Oh, that's a nice. So you do have people that kind of handle a lot of the business side, or you can focus more on the music? Yes. Okay. So like with the tour, was it? Who's obviously you in Skid Row? You guys have the same publicist? But was it your management that kind of had that idea? I mean, I love it, because Skid Row is one of my favorite bands. So this is like a dream tour for me.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, we're all friendly with those guys, you know, before all this, and so that was, that's good. That's always good. You know, and then we, there was talk of it, and the managers got together. And so we booked a leg, you know, like a whole month, and we went out, we've already done it, you know, and all like, so many of the shows sold out, I would say more than half of them sold out, you know, which is crazy. So, you know, the promoters were fired up, the managers are fired up, we're fired up. So Skid Row. And so we decided to do a second leg and a third leg we've already booked and we're about to go out on the second leg here. And, you know, a few days, like five days, six days, and then and then we're doing a third leg already. And we're doing some shows in Canada with them. And, and then there's talk of doing a fourth leg because it's just selling so well. So, you know, whenever something like that happens, you just ride a wave, you know, and right now we're riding the wave. They dropped a record not too long ago, and they got this great. New singer Eric, he's, he's awesome. And, you know, yeah, they got a lot of momentum. And we got a lot of momentum with the new record as well. So it's working.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, no, how does it work? Because you're both great bands. And I mean, we're looking at the levels that you're out. I mean, how do you decide who closes or who opens? Or do you even care? Does it matter as a co headlining like, how do you

Josh Todd:

just tell headlining and they they end the night and we're fine with that, you know, and we just we do the same amount of time as far as set time. And that's how we do it.

Chuck Shute:

Awesome. I know, is there going to be a third like opening bands or just YouTube and that's it.

Josh Todd:

There is another band and I am drawing a blank right now on who it is. But yes, there's one more that opens the night.

Chuck Shute:

Okay, cool. And then you guys have some just solo shows that you're doing before you hit the second leg or the next leg?

Josh Todd:

Yeah, yeah, we continue to tour and they everybody takes them away. We continue but yeah, we do. We do headlining shows in between and, and it's, it's all good.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah. Cool. So we're back to the album. The song pain. Now was a cool one. I feel like that had it kind of had like an Aerosmith dream on kind of vibe. And I'm gonna call right now and say that song is going to change some lives. I mean, I don't know about streams or hit singles. I mean, of course, all that stuff. So nice. You guys gotta make a living. But I feel like that song is going to change somebody's life, like someone's gonna be on a dark path. They're gonna hear that song. And it's gonna turn things around. And I think it's gonna save people. And so I know, you probably think a little crazy, but I think someone's gonna come up to you a meet and greet and say, like, hey, that song changed my life. So tell me about the process with that, like, what inspired it? And how did you write it? Because that doesn't sound like a 15 minute writing session, like with lit up or whatever?

Josh Todd:

Yeah, there's kind of a story behind pain, you know, and thank you for all that. I mean, I really love the song as well. And if you I'm gonna tell you how it started, because where it got to is like, it's crazy, you know. So when we went to go do our Songwriting with Marty in Nashville, we we go to Nashville, and we go to his house, just to kind of powwow, listen to some of the old demos, get a game plan where we want to be, you know, how we want to start the songwriting day, the next day and all that. And I look, and he's got a piano in his house, and I said, Hey, where'd you get the piano? He's like, Oh, I just got that. And I'm like, it's really cool. And I said, Hey, I would really, like I go, can you come up with like, the saddest song you can come up with on the piano, and, and I want to have like, just a piano vocal song for like, maybe a hidden track on this record? And he goes, Yeah, that'd be cool. And that was it. Never. We didn't talk about it anymore. We just went on. And we started writing songs, you know, rock songs. And we, we kept writing and kept writing, and then we got to feels like love and, and so I am, I'm hammering out the lyrics to feels like love and my hotel room, I'm exhausted, I had sang already a whole song. In the morning, I broke for lunch, and then they got me the music a little later. So I'm spent, you know, it took me about two, two and a half hours to write feels like love and, and then he hits me with this voice note, and he's like, Hey, I got I got this idea for that piano song. And he sends me just two parts on piano of the song, right. And I'm like, fuck, and we only have like, one more day or something like that. And I, so I had to get on it. And I didn't want to even write I had nothing left I thought, you know, and so I'm just kind of in a dark place in my head that night. And it was a perfect time for me to, to approach the song and I'm like, fucking, I'm gonna write the song. And, and it's really about me, it's about, you know, my kind of, like, my inner selves, things I know, I don't really talk about, you know, public, you know, with anybody. And that's where it came from. It came from a very sad place inside of me, you know, and I think everybody, everybody's everybody deals with pain. everybody deals with mental pain, physical pain, and, and so it was just a really good subject. Anyways, I go into the studio the next day, I record feels like love. And then I said, Hey, Marty, I got this idea for that piano song. And so I sing it to him. And Stevie's in the control room as well. And we all just kind of had this moment, you know, after I sing it, I'm like, damn, this is this is cool, you know? And then Marty's like, Okay, listen, stop, you know, I need to work on a song, I need to, I need to put drums to it, I got to kind of make it a song, you know, because there's only two parts here. And I was like, Cool. And so we knew that we had something and it needed to go to another place. And it was going to be bigger than just some hidden track on a record. And so anyways, I come back and he's put drums and bass and he put this midsection with a funk and Duncan Duncan back and the whole midsection. He added to it that wasn't there. And then he ended it with this crazy chord at the end. And it was like this huge, episodic you know, amazing rock track. And he's like, I was like, damn, Marty. This is like so much bigger than I thought it was gonna be. And he goes, he goes, Yeah, I think this is Buckcherry is November rain. And I was like, that's cool. And so anyways, I put a little melody and some words to the midsection and created a bridge, you know, and then went and sang it and and the rest is history. You know, it had to be on the record. It was just so good, you know? And I'm so I'm so glad we have that song but that's how it all happen.

Chuck Shute:

That's amazing. That's a great story. I love the teamwork there. Because it's like you. I mean, just lyrically, you can tell that you're singing from a place of true emotion. And then what Marty did to it and made it you know, like, tweaked all those things. It's like a great team work that came out perfectly in my opinion.

Josh Todd:

Yeah. And, you know, prior to prior to that, we had had the only tiff we had in the studio was that day. So it kind of brought that, you know, we were all tired. And we just had a little tiff over some of some old songs from the hell balance spillover sessions that I thought was going to be on the record, and we're all thinking it doesn't fit. And it just pissed me off, right. And so, we had a little tiff, I went to lunch, I sent a text apologizing for you know, getting, you know, upset and, and so anyways, it kind of spiraled into pain, you know, and so it was perfect.

Chuck Shute:

That is perfect. Yeah. I mean, I think people forget about that part of that, like, this is a job and it is working, it is stress. And it sounds like you're putting in a lot hours with stuff like this with a

Josh Todd:

lot of hours. Yeah, a lot of songs. We, we we had about 25 songs to pick from, you know, to create this 10 Song record, you know, and we always do that we were very thorough, you know, in order to get a to put out a record, we want it to be, you know, we want there to be no filler, and it to be great from beginning to end for us, you know, so we feel like if we do that, then we did our due diligence, and then you see what happens when it finally hits the streets, you know? And that's, that's what we always do.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, no, I think that one, I think the pain, I think that's going to be a popular one. It's interesting, too, because you guys can obviously put out the singles, you put out three songs already. Within once you put out the full album, like, people kind of choose right, like the song that gets streams or whatever. Okay, this is the most popular one.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, it's over at that point. It's in the public's hands, you know, and they decide and they dictate what goes on and, and that's cool that we love that because we want to know what people are reacting to, you know, because we've been sitting on this record since October of last year, you know, so for it to finally get to the you know, street is like, it's so exciting for us. Yeah, that's really cool. It's like It's like giving birth, you know, you've been there you've been, you've been marinating on it, you know, it's been building and it's time. Yeah. Is

Chuck Shute:

it kind of like Christmas? Like is it like it would remind me of like opening a Christmas present, getting or maybe giving a Christmas present getting to see people's reactions to this.

Josh Todd:

And sometimes it's not what you think it's gonna be, you know, and so that's interesting in its own way to,

Chuck Shute:

like, give me example that What do you mean? I mean, sometimes

Josh Todd:

you think particular songs on your record are gonna really react and they don't react or other songs react in a huge way and you just never saw it coming, you know? So stuff like that, you know, I could go into detail on path records, but you know, it's just bizarre what you know, people gravitate towards you or you're just like, wow, I never I didn't see that coming you know.

Chuck Shute:

Now that's it's the same with like podcasting if I post a clip or something, I go, Okay, this this clip this is gonna change the world and like nobody's stupid. This is dumb. I guess I'll do this. And then people love it. I'm like wildly.

Josh Todd:

Or no, You never know what's gonna react with people. It's it's it's so bizarre.

Chuck Shute:

It is interesting. I love the guitar work on this album too. Yeah, like the song with you. I feel like that had a really bluesy, 70s rock but with a heavier it kind of reminds me of the Scorpion song the zoo.

Josh Todd:

Yeah. It's because I when I came in and heard the guitar work off that shit going on. I'm like, fuck, man. It sounds like Buckcherry Scorpion song, you know, and I had a laugh about it, you know? And then it started really kind of growing on me. You know, at first I didn't really dig it, you know? And then it started growing on me. And now I love it.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, and then like the song turned it on. There's that's that's another bluesy riff but awesome guitar. So what about the song? Keep on fighting because that's another catchy one. Do you think that you would try to get that used in like sports or something like that? I feel like that could be a song that they play at, like a football game or something like that.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, that would be even that or turn it on. I always thought his turn it on the chorus being great sports own as well, you know? Yeah, well, we'll be visiting all that, you know, when the record drops and trying to work at it, you know, sports, and, you know, I think they're already playing I think they're playing good time. We, they played it in a hockey game, you know, we heard so, you know, I think a lot of them could could work that way. If you just chop it up, you know, but um, we'll see.

Chuck Shute:

Ya know, I feel like because that's gotta be a big piece of getting royalties with the music. I don't know if you even care about that. But like, I mean, you put all this work into it. It's like, obviously, you know, it's hard to sell albums. Now you get some money for streams, but I feel like the bigger piece of the pie would be like in a, you know, sports arenas, movies, TVs, commercials, things like that.

Josh Todd:

Yes. All that is very important. Because it just gets the awareness out it everything is important, you know, wherever it's played, you know, on radio, you know, TV, movies, sporting events, advertisements, we're open to all that stuff.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah. Are you What are you listening to these days? Is there music that your any new music that you're introduced to listen to music sites, it's fascinating that I interview some musicians are like, I don't listen to music.

Josh Todd:

I listen to so much music. And but it's usually in the pop genre and hip hop. That's what I really listened to a lot. I listened to a lot of pop music because it's really melody driven and singer driven. And it's written by the best songwriters in the world. And so yeah, I just bought I still buy singles. You know, I'm kind of obsessed with a song called favorite song by by this artist. To see to see, I don't know if that's how you pronounce it. I love this song. Sure thing by this artists, Miguel. That's a dope ass song. I NL go back to the old school, I got obsessed with the Manhattan's shining star. Got really obsessive that song. So you know, those are just to name a few. But I'm always when I hear a good song, I go out and buy it, you know, and I make playlists on my phone. And, you know, I listen to songs all the time,

Chuck Shute:

used to and you saw, or you're using your phone to listen to music, or you listen to on the streaming, you don't buy the physical exam, people don't buy the physical vinyl or CDs.

Josh Todd:

No, I buy I go to iTunes and I buy singles. You know, and I'll if I hear sometimes I'll hear a song on satellite radio, you know, because I have satellite radio, or Spotify or whatever. And I'll buy the single because I want to I want to, I want to take the song and put it in my library and make playlists. And I like to do that myself. You know, instead of like just putting it on some playlist and like Spotify or some

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, when you're in your big prints fan to write you guys because you guys talked about

Josh Todd:

love friends. Yeah, yeah. Did you read that I met miss him. I miss him so much. Did you ever meet him? I never met him. But Matt has people. And you know the people who work for him and they've been very complimentary to Buckcherry. And at one point, we sold out way back in the day First Avenue. And we got to play there and we sold it out. And that was like a big thing for us and cut to some of our band members went to what's his place? He lives I forget what it's called Paisley Park. They went to Paisley Park to do the tour. And they were being briefed by the security guy there. And he had he had worked with friends for a long time and he was like telling them okay, this is what's going to happen and yada yada yada. He's like, what band he goes in. And Stevie goes, Oh, we're and we're in Buckcherry. And he goes Buckcherry, we'd love butchery like we went and saw you guys do crazy bitch. And we went when you guys sold out First Avenue. And I was like, Oh my God. They know Buckcherry like, that was like so huge for us, you know, to know that they they knew about that show and they knew about you know our songs and to be on Prince's radar was like fucking amazing. You know what I mean?

Chuck Shute:

That's amazing. There must be a lot of those kind of pinch me moments that you've had. I mean, you've toured with some of the greatest bands of all time, I think.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, we have a tour with a lot of our heroes. Very grateful for that. You know, the list goes on my kiss AC DC Aerosmith. Like all those. We even did a show with Bon Jovi back in the day, you know, which was which is classic, you know, and then, you know, we've toured with, you know, I mean, John shows on stage with like, one time we did a show in Japan and it was us, deep purple. And then Slipknot was such a strange, like lineup. Oh, yeah. Like this. Is this amazing, you know,

Chuck Shute:

did you get interactions with because a lot of times the bands have separate dressing rooms and stuff, right? So you don't actually get to like interact with them.

Josh Todd:

I met Cory Taylor a few times. Very nice guy, you know. But yeah, we weren't. I don't know how the the dressing rooms are arranged. I just remember standing side stage. Like I was really into Slipknot, so like, I'm side stage and I'd never seen them live. And it was crazy. You know, they when they get it, they gotten their shit. And they get into full character once they get into that mode. And when they were walking on stage, it was heavy, you know? And once they started it's like, it was just amazing. I had such a good time that day.

Chuck Shute:

That's awesome. Yeah. Well, I'm excited for the Skid Row. That's gonna be a great package. I think you guys are coming to Arizona and your cars funny because you're coming to Phoenix with Skid Row, but then you're coming to like Flagstaff, which is funny because that's like two hours away and good choice to come there in the summer because it's hot as hell and Phoenix, so I might drive up for that show, even though it's on like a Wednesday.

Josh Todd:

Yeah. Work. You know, I don't know about other singers, but I thrive in the heat. I like it hot. So that'll be fine. Yeah, you

Chuck Shute:

have an interesting, I heard you talking about your vocal tips and stuff. Because I'm I'm always interested in that in those kinds of things. Because when I hear singers that they continue to sound amazing. And your thing is that you don't drink any water when you're singing, right? It's not the rule.

Josh Todd:

Yeah, I don't I don't that I haven't done that for a long time. Now. I mean, I hydrate a lot prior to going on stage. But then once I, once I start, I don't like it because it tightens me up. You know, and I don't know why. But it just, I'm way more flexible, and it feels better. Without doing it, you know. And it took me a second to do that. Because I used to be in this nervous habit of always taking a sip between every song and it was like, I saw Steve Perry. From journey. I saw like a live video of him and he wasn't, he wasn't drinking any water. And then I started watching a lot of artists, a lot of pop artists, you know, just a lot of singers with great vocal technique, and they weren't drinking any anything, you know. And so I started working on that. And it was like so much better for me.

Chuck Shute:

Yeah, that's really fascinating, because I've done so many of these interviews. I'd never heard that before. But that's a great tip for anyone listening who wants to be a singer? I know we've got a couple of minutes. Can you tell the story? I thought this was so fascinating. one of your biggest songs obviously is crazy bitch, but the way you wrote it the way I remembered it, you called your mom's voicemail and recorded all of his voicemail because you didn't have a tape recorder. That's

Josh Todd:

and did you know my mom and I are very close. And she she's always been very supportive of me. You know, I've been I've been in bands since I was 15. You know, and one of the first shows I did was a house party at my house. You know, my my mother and my stepfather at the time they left and they didn't know what I was doing.
