Buckcherry At MTelus

Montreal's MTelus was the scene of a rocking double bill a little while back.  Dubbed 'The Northern Exposure Tour', the first of our co-headliners for the evening, Buckcherry, hit the stage with the intention to leave their mark.  It's been almost sixteen years since I saw them for the first time and I can still remember how raw and powerful they seemed at the time.  Several days, months and years may have passed since that show, but they're still as powerful on the stage now as they were back then.  The band that claims to put the danger back in to rock and roll came out with guitars blazing.  They opened their set with ‘”Roar Like Thunder” the lead single from the upcoming album to be released in June of the same name.  What followed was another nine songs of rock and roll fun.  Singer Josh Todd was on fire.  Hitting the stage in a rather dapper suit, the further we got in to the show the less he seemed to be wearing until his full torso of tattoos were on display by the end of the set.  We got a little taste from all of their albums while Buckcherry finished with a wild flourish that included ”Say F@ck It”, which had the everyone on the floor bouncing up and down.  This was followed by a revved up version of Bryan Adams’ “Summer of ‘69” before Buckcherry brought their set to a close with a medley of songs that began and ended around their big hit, “Crazy Bitch”.  It was a great performance.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Buckcherry as they performed on the MTelus stage.
