Buchan is known for criticizing other musicians and starting feuds with other musicians, The Exploited's Punks Not Dead album's title is a reaction to anarcho punk contemporaries Crass song Punk is Dead. Buchan has been open about disliking Crass, saying People listen to bands and believe what they sing about, Crass was just words. He stated they were full of shit, They said they believed in this and that, but bought record companies under other people's names so it couldn't be traced back to them, It was all about money with them. Other than Crass, Buchan has criticized multiple other bands and musicians including Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Green Day, Bad Religion, Linkin Park, The Offspring, and Descendents. Buchan has also criticized the emo genre, saying Emo's shit They can stick it up their ass. Buchan accused the punk rock band the Buzzcocks of selling out, Buchan said about the Buzzcocks They used to be good but they really sold out, A lot of the bands here used to be good until they turned to more pop rock, Like when I was a punk, I used to see the Buzzcocks live It was great. When the Exploited were at Amnesia Rockfest, Buchan during an interview, criticized the other bands at the music festival saying here at Rockfest, you got a lot of bands that define themselves as punk bands but they're shit, They are so pop oriented that they don't even stand for any values, they do not deserve the status of being defined as punk bands.
