Buckcherry lead singer Josh Todd says he's noticed a real difference in crowds attending their shows post-Covid. He recently told Canada's 104.9 The Wolf, “I feel a lot of energy. There's all kinds of things going on. I think people are struggling, honestly. They're tired of being corralled . . . when we finally hit the stage and it's on, people, their enthusiasm is at a different level.”
Todd added, “I just read that it's the biggest pandemic in world history now; it's surpassed 1918 flu pandemic. It's brutal. And we're still gonna have to be very careful and stay on top of this for some time to come. And I know that's just a drag for people to hear.”
Todd said that as successful entertainers, they've always been grateful to get to do what they love for a living. He explained, “We get together as a band every night before we walk on. We pray, and we get into gratitude. And as far as my process goes, I'm backstage, and one thing I always tell myself, 'If this is it, this could be the very last show that you do. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?' Play it like it's your last one. And that seems to really work for me.”
Covid-19 forced Buckcherry to postpone a couple weeks of tour dates when two band members tested positive.
Their latest album, Hellbound, was released in June.
