BUCKCHERRY Frontman Talks Viagra, Cialis, And Lucky Charms

Josh Todd of BUCKCHERRY gave some insight on the band in the new issue of Penthouse discussing the "ups and downs" of the little blue pill, and its competition.

Penthouse: You've joked about getting a sponsorship from Viagra. Have you ever tried the drug recreationally?

Josh Todd: "Of course. I tried Viagra and hated it. It gave me headaches. It would take me forever to blow a load, so I wasn't into that. I tried half a Cialis once, and that was perfect. I really enjoyed that. It's good if you're supertired and you just want to put on a good show [in bed]. You can fucking nut on Cialis, and it feels like you're 18. It's nice. You don't have a raging hard-on for four hours. I don't think any dude wants that. I want to have an orgasm just like everyone else. Listen, I get my girl to come, I come, and I'm done. I want to get down to eating a bowl of fucking Lucky Charms and watching movies."

BUCKCHERRY's fourth studio album, titled "Black Butterfly", is on track to sell around 40,000 copies in its first week of release, according to Hits Daily Double, the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS. The CD follows up 2006's "15", which marked a huge comeback for the band after it was left for dead in 2002. "15" sold more than one million copies and produced several hit singles, with the song "Crazy Bitch" becoming one of the most popular ringtones ever. Although the band is now bigger than it was before its four-year hiatus, singer Josh Todd told The Pulse of Radio their values remain the same. "When we started out, I remember Keith (Nelson, guitarist) and I just saying that we had gotten to a point where just, like, we just wanted to make music that we were excited about," he said. "It was just all about, like, 'Let's just go and enjoy ourselves.' And we still have that philosophy today, you know, like we don't want to overthink it and we don't want to chase radio, you know, we just want to make the music that means something to us. And if it's real to us, it's gonna be real to everybody else."

BUCKCHERRY came onto the scene in 1999 with its self-titled debut album, which went gold. But its 2001 sophomore effort, "Time Bomb", was a sales disappointment, leading Todd and Nelson to put the band on ice until 2005.

Todd and Nelson are the only original members still in the group. During BUCKCHERRY's hiatus they were involved with an early version of VELVET REVOLVER.

"Don't Go Away" is the latest single from "Black Butterfly". It follows up "Too Drunk..."
