When Buckcherry hit the scene in the mid-'90s, few would have predicted that the raunchy, stripper pole/retro-hair metal outfit had a 15-year career ahead of it, let alone a Grammy nomination. Despite the nearly complete dissolution of the band in 2002, Buckcherry managed to embrace the subversive tenacity of chief inspiration M�tley Cr�e by ignoring the naysayers and keeping the train running with a pair of well-received albums that successfully rebooted them back into the biz. Like their studio albums, LIVE & LOUD 2009 doesn't bring anything new to the genre, but the band's juvenile, infectious choruses ("Crazy Bitch," "Lit Up"), boundless energy, and occasionally sloppy execution prove that while they may not have invented the "Sunset Strip bad boy" image, they certainly know how to revel in it.

Los Angeles-based hard rock band Buckcherry kept the torch lit for decadent, hard-partying hair-metal bands well after grunge had come along to sweep the genre under the carpet. Greatly inspired by Guns N' Roses and AC/DC, Buckcherry's sound was considerably tougher than the glitzier bands that came before them. They scored a huge hit in 1999 with the cocaine-praising single "Lit Up," and following a hiatus after a disappointing sophomore album, they returned to the charts in 2006 with the controversial single "Crazy Bitch."
