Buckcherry’s Stevie D. Speaks On Lineup Change

Buckcherry rocker Stevie D. has opened up about the recent changes to the band’s lineup. Last week they revealed a move to part ways with their previous drummer and lead guitarist and speaking with Legendary Rock Interviews, D notes that the decision fell largely on the two ousted members.

“We already had some shows booked between now and the end of the year. A couple months ago, I got a call from Josh [Todd, BUCKCHERRY singer] saying that Keith is not going to be playing those shows. Then I got an email from X saying he wasn’t going to be joining us for those shows either. So as to why, you are probably going to have to ask them. So, what I had to do was find a couple guys to do the shows. JOSH TODD & THE CONFLICT [Stevie and Josh’s new project] was already going on, so I just asked Sean Winchester if he would be interested in learning ninety minutes of BUCKCHERRY songs [laughs] because his drums are already set up in the studio,” he said.

“For guitar, we could have asked anybody, but what I wanted to do was get a guy in there that I knew that we could already get along with and be comfortable with. So, we asked our longtime, dear friend Kevin Roentgen. He was in a band back in the day signed to Elektra Records, a band called SOUL, and later on after that he was in another band on the Wind-Up Records label called AMERICAN PEARL. He’s been carrying the rock and roll torch here in Los Angeles for years and years. We all go back a long way. Myself, Kelly, Josh and Kevin all used to drink together back in the early ’90s. So it just made sense for us to ask him to lend a helping hand.”
