By the 10-minute mark in most AVN award shows, the heady thrill that accompanies the 2-hour wait for the show to start has dwindled considerably. That is why many people don’t remember that the band Buckcherry played the AVN show in 2007 on the strength of their 2006 hit “Crazy Bitch.”
I use “Crazy Bitch” as the ringtone for someone very special, and many Buckcherry songs speak to other parts of my life, including “Lit Up,” “Borderline,” and “Porno Star.” The L.A.-based band picks up where George Thorogood left off in that they don’t just perform songs about drinking.
But they don’t completely exclude drinking. The video for their song “Too Drunk To Fuck” follows a chubby, bearded man and his hot girlfriend to a houseparty where Buckcherry is playing (the band has been forced to play smaller venues as has been the fate of any mainstream act that appears at the AVN show). The bearded man drinks too much and cannot perform for his woman, then vomits in what appears to be a Swiss alpenhorn.
Appearing as a tender, lovemaking couple in the video are real-life couple Ashlynn Brooke and Tommy Gunn who, even in keeping all their clothes on, still manage to convince Hot Girlfriend that she can do better than a man who appears to be a porn production assistant who can’t hold his liquor.
Brooke and Gunn are friends of the band, who played the AVN show the night Gunn won as Best Male Performer.
“When the fans see us in mainstream projects like this, they tell me it’s like they’re in a secret club and knowing who we are is the handshake,” Brooke said, not adding “drinking is wrong.”
