Marla's Favorite Keith quote: “We’re into all those naughty pleasures nobody likes to talk about. We were living and breathing rock ‘n’ roll when it wasn’t in style, and 10 years from now, when it’s out of style again, we’ll still be doing it.”

Keith on the origins of the band's name: “Our LA shows were getting packed, and there was this transvestite name Buckcherry who always used to bum cigarettes off me outside the shows. He was a nice guy, but a complete Hollywood freak.”
