Prior to his days in Buckcherry, Todd fronted the Hollywood glam band Slamhound and a pre-Buckcherry Sparrow. During a brief hiatus from Buckcherry he formed a solo band as JOSH TODD. He has released three albums as Buckcherry and one as JOSH TODD. He also performed at the Canadian Live8 venue in Barrie, Ontario in 2005. He first joined Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer of Aerosmith and others on stage for a rendition of Walk This Way and then later joined all other performers on stage for a version of Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World. Todd auditioned to be the leader singer of the band Velvet Revolver in 2002 upon the recommendation of Slash. After several weeks of laying down tracks the band realized he was not the sound they were looking for, and subsequently let him go.[1] He has appeared in several movies in both credited and uncredited roles including playing the part of "Rudy" in the 2002 teen comedy The New Guy and several small parts in xXx and The Salton Sea. Josh Todd is known for his multitude of tattoos including a full backpiece, full sleeves and heavily inked chest, stomach and legs. A partial list of his tattoos follows: • A suicide King of Hearts with the word "Love" above it and "Desire" below it covering his entire back. • The word "CHAOS" above his navel and a black widow spider below. • The word "Willow" in script across his upper-chest/collarbone area. • The word "STAY" on his right knuckles and "GOLD" on his left knuckles, spelling out "Stay Gold" when put together, a reference to The Outsiders. • Matching spiral tattoos on his shoulders, sometimes referred to as "Spiritual Headlights". • Matching skulls over spider webs on his kneecaps He's married to model Mitzi Martin.
