[Update: This was news to the band's publicist who doubts the validity since the band has had the name for 10+ years. We're hoping to hear confirmation from the band's management either way soon but as for now the hoax box is filling up!]

If true this isn't the first lawsuit filed against Buckcherry since their recent resurgence. Last September they were sued by an under age girl that appeared in one of their videos. Below is the press release their PR people out at that time about that suit.

In response to a lawsuit filed September 7th in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging that rock band Buckcherry and its labels, Warner Music Group and Atlantic Records, willingly allowed a 16-year-old girl into a music video shoot, Buckcherry�s attorney, Skip Miller of the Century City-based firm Miller Barondess, LLP, has issued the following statement:

�The attorneys for the plaintiff (identified only as Jane Doe) have been talking to the press about this case. We feel it is necessary to set the record straight. The claims in this case are entirely unfounded and without merit. Strict precautions were taken to ensure that only those over the age of 18 would gain access to the music video shoot. The casting ad called for over-18 talent only, signs were posted to that effect at the venue, and IDs were checked at the door. This woman not only used a phony ID to gain access, but filled out and signed a talent release form with what we now know to be false birth date information to match her phony ID. She was later seen boasting into the camera about her exploits in the video.
