I believe that when a band is out for more than 25 years, you can do a tribute album to them. That band can be one that quickly sprung into the publics eye and faded just as fast, like Golden Earring (Radar Love, Twilight Zone) and The Knack (My Sharona, Good Girls Don't) or a band that has stayed around for years, The Beatles and Rolling Stones. But you have to be around long enough to influence someone...even if it is Kelly O'Donnell from Sioux City.

A band that does not qualify for a tribute album is Buckcherry. But the world doesn't give a shit what I think because Versailles Records has announced their plans for "Lit Up: A Millennium Tribute to Buckcherry."

Specific songs have not been released, but Versailles was able to get some heavy rock hitters for the tribute disk. I can't be too sure those heavy hitters knew they were doing a tribute album to Buckcherry or not.

The list includes, Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Hanoi Rocks, The Circle Jerks, Mountain, Slash's Snakepit, Ratt, White Lion, Steelheart, Michael Schenker Group, and L.A. Guns.

I can't wait to hear At the Movies as performed by The Circle Jerks. To give you an idea how the Circle Jerks sound, click the clip below. I would have gone with a performance video, but they were typical punk live videos, raucous, loud, and unintelligible.
