What's behind the rise & fall of CKY? I talk about: their breakthrough via Bam Margera (Jess Margera's brother) and "96 Quite Bitter Beings"; "Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild" & "Can An Answer Be Found"; Deron Miller leaving the band to do 96 Bitter Beings and World Under Blood; the Jess & Chad Ginsburg lineup and CKY's lasting influence.

@@Phat2art I got their crappy band name confused with another shitty band that also starts with an M that was a Pearl Jam rip-off (I can’t think of their name atm, but I’m almost positive it starts with an M and it might even has the word mud in it). Mudvayne was still super shitty though. Fukkin’ nu-metal garbage. It’s utterly revolting to put them in the same breath as Deftones, so it doesn’t change my point. Edit: The PJ rip-off band I was thinking of was Puddle of Mudd (the extra ‘d’ isn’t a typo). It doesn’t start with an M, but definitely had the word Mud in it and even has that same annoying misspelling thing that so many crappy bands did back then.

This band was always underrated in my opinion. I think them being attached at the hip to Bam Margera was a double edged sword. Due to Bam obviously increasing their popularity in the 2000's but also making them categorized by so many as just skater rock music. They are a great band and had unique guitar riffs and lyrics. Ultimately I think their height will rest in the 2000's skate scene which their is nothing wrong with that. Im 28 and CKY was my first concert in 2005 I was in 5th grade and it was sorta their height with Viva La Bam ect. They are great live. Ill always love this band. Thanks for the video!

Deron is an amazong song writer. Even his new shit with 96bb is awesome. Very underrated song writer. An absolute riff machine.
I guitar teched for CKY in 2011 towards the end. I was roommates with their bass player at the time. It was hard at first but it became fun. Chad's gear was a hodge podge of all these rack units and a wireless from the 90s that hardly worked correctly. But obviously when it worked well it sounded good. Darren used a Marshall DSL 2000 with a Boss synth wah, octave driver and a TU-2 tuner. His shit ALWAYS worked, everyday. Darren was nutty at times and would wander off but I always liked him. He played Best In Show for like five days straight on the bus. Thanks to Darren I'm a better fan of Mel Brooks. I have nothing bad to say about any of them. They're all unique people. Chad was difficult to relate to at first but I ended up really liking him in the end...as I figured out how to get his rig to last a night of songs. They're a great band. I still like jamming to them.

"You guys heard the new Gnarkill cd?"
Alcohol is a serious problem. I'm over 5½ years sober. At my worst, I was consuming a bit over a ½ gallon a day. I went to rehab in Massachusetts, it took me about 12 hours to get there and the plane only gave me 2 drinks and then 1 from Chicago to Connecticut. I was withdrawaling badly pulling into the rehab. My bac was .40 That would kill 90% of people. I was withdrawaling. Meaning, I was likely functioning with a .6-.7. I know that's extremely difficult to believe, but, it's the truth. I drank heavily for 20+ years. I got really bad, about the last 6-7 years. Hospital bills and lawyer/court fee's, equal about 2½ houses paid for. I don't miss that shit at all. I fully expect to die earlier than I should. I damaged my body pretty good. If you can control your drinking, cheers! If you're honest with yourself and you know you're getting out of control, get help.

As a former skater and self-described punk rocker, I was a massive fan in the early 2000's. But I was also young and dumb. Then I grew up. Now looking back, I realize that they were exceedingly shitty people. And none of this surprises me. Brandon Dicamillo might be the only exception. It's no surprise that he dropped out of the whole thing and now lives a quiet, anonymous life.

Totally agree it was weird looking back on these guys who I thought were cool when I was a teenager and now as an adult I realize just how much they actually sucked. Still enjoy the music but I understand why they fell apart.
I played a show with CKY in 2000 It was In Asbury "Casino" Skatepark ..When I was in As Darkness Falls.. Point being.. IT FUCKING ROCKED! And I skated during their whole set- and landed some huge ass tricks! They got me stoked! Thanks for the memories CKY! Great Vid Fin!
CKY was definitely one of my "gateway to harder metal" bands back in late elementary/ early middle school! i was a little skate rat + that landspeed video absolutely rocked all of our little minds at the time. these guys were hugely influential in so many of us "groms" growing up into actual sponsored skaters (not me lol) or harder music fans. CKY was a truly bonding glue in that era/ scene. I have friends I still talk to 20-25 years later bc we originally met in a skate park wearing CKY merch. awesome video Finn!
CKY is one of the best bands ever! I discovered them when I was young thru the obvious way (bam) and liked their music. After years of not really listening to them I was older and had gone thru a major shift in my musical taste and when they came to mind for the first time in years I wanted to go back and get a hit of nostalgia secretly expecting that I wouldn't like it as much as I did then just like a lot of bands I somehow liked when I was 14 that give me stomach aches today. When I went back to CKY though, I became an even bigger fan than I was when I was younger! As a kid I thought the songs were cool (not to mention the bam/jackass connection) but now purely for its musical integrity I've come to realize what an amazing songwriter and guitar player Deron is! I'm so glad you covered them because like you said they get overlooked by most of the metal/music community.
I agree, they could have been legends like Korn, Slipknot or at the very least the Mudvayne tier of influence/respect if they didn't let their problems tear themselves apart! The three bands I just mentioned also battled drugs, metal illness, loss, and conflicts over creative differences. Fortunately those bands managed to do the impossible and (for the most part) stick together and overcome their personal demons. Some bands manage to win that battle, others loose, its just the way it goes I suppose. I agree 100% with what you said about their influence. I was a little late to the CKY party as I (am not a skater and) discover them on Myspace during that era. They quickly became one of my favorite bands and one of my Mom's least favorite bands! Fond memories of blasting them through the speakers every chance I got!
CKY never fell, they got immortalized in time by jackass and Bam.

I worked with Matt in an office job from 2015-2017 before the business closed. Incredibly nice, put-together, down to earth guy. Completely unassuming. He recently rejoined All That Remains (he was with them before CKY).

@@timflint25 Met Matt randomly escorting a female friend to her car after one of their shows. He was almost as excited to meet me as I was him. He seemed genuinely surprised that someone recognized him. It was at a festival and they were kind of passed over by the younger crowd that was there. He took a pic with me, signed my shirt, then thanked me for coming to the show before hopping on his scooter and taking off.
I remember the first time I saw cky back in the early 00s, they played with clutch and some guy in the crowd spat on stage and the next thing you see is a bottle of JD flew threw the air and then bam comes flying out and just wailing on the dude, I thought it was mental as kid because I hadn't been to too many gigs back then

I was in my early 30s when these guys hit... got to see them live and meet Deron. Listening to Deron's new band now 96 Bitter Beings.
I believe I saw CKY live at a gig once. I remember wearing my F U CKY ou, hoodie back in 2005, I'm still in the same town but a different person now. Their music was great to a teen / young twentysomething, but people who you once thought were cool when you were young and self destructive, well, you now realise they weren't.
96 quite bitter things is straight up iconic to me as a skater punk teenager when it came out. Tony Hawk's soundtrack in general was absolute fire back then. But other than that song I never really found any of their other music to be appealing.
Thanks for covering bands like this! I think it really says a lot about you that you can cover cky and no doubt with it feeling like you genuinely care about the content. You are becoming one of my favorite content creators!

Excited for this one. Played with them in 2019 and became a big fan of the music.
Great video! CKY vol 1 is genuinely an underrated masterpiece. 10/10 album for sure. Would love to see you do one of these videos for the band HIM. A band that probably doesn’t get enough recognition in 2022 considering how prevalent their music and logo were in the early 00s.
The connections with this band to horror films should not go understated as well. Deron met, courted and married, Felissa Rose. The star of Sleepaway Camp, who's iconic image was used on the cover of CKY's EP Disengage the Simulator. She contacted him after seeing her face on a shirt he was wearing on an episode of Jackass. I'm also surprised nothing more was mentioned of Daniel Davies. He is the son of Dave Davies from The Kinks, and is the godson of director and composer John Carpenter, whom he currently tours with.
I had 96 Quite Bitter Beings as a paid ringtone on a small Nokia brick phone in the early 2000s. We've come a long way.

It's crazy that Jess Margera's side project and Deron Miller's band 96 bitter beings released albums within a week of each other. It was fun to cover these releases and have a blast going back over CKYs music 🌶️
Was my favorite band in 2002. I still have Cky collectables from when I was a kid. This video hit me very hard with nostalgia. I’m 34 yrs old and can’t remember the last time I heard anyone mention them
So, as someone who personally knows Chad and (to a lesser extent) Jess, I can confirm that Deron was the biggest issue, if not the only issue. The incident in which Deron caught them "talking shit" about him wasn't like he claimed it was. Chad and Jess were on the bus discussing their concerns about Deron's drinking as not only was it harming the band, he was harming himself. Deron didn't like this, so he started a fight. After Deron left the band, he left a number of anti-semitic voicemails on Chad's phone. I'm sure Chad and Jess probably had their own issues and stuff back then, but in the years I've known them, they've been happy, loving what they're doing, and dedicated to the band. Genuinely two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
Small correction at 13:03, Matt Deis had been on bass with CKY since ‘An Answer Can Be Found.’ Fantastic video otherwise Finn. Love your content.

Carver City is an awesome album, probably my favorite one from the band (The Boardwalk Body is an all-time favorite song for me). And in general, I really enjoy Volume 1 and Infiltrate Destroy Improve as well. An Answer Can Be Found is mixed for me. Still need to listen to that Foreign Objects album, heh

"The Boardwalk Body" and "...And She Never Returned" are my two favorite CKY songs, and "Carver City" is my favorite CKY album. The riffs were something ELSE on that one.
I’m in a guitar pedal group on Facebook and just last week someone posted a picture of an octave pedal they bought from Deron, with a note that said “this is THE octave pedal I wrote and recorded all the cky songs with.” Then someone in the comments posted a picture of the exact same thing with the comment “well this is awkward..” I was rolling 😂
"Infiltrate Rebuild Destroy" is still one of my favorite albums of the early '00s. Hell, I even lucked onto that rare picture disc LP! (No, it's NOT for sale!)
For anyone missing old cky, the singers new band "96 bitter beings" just released a new album, and it hits all the spots cky missed with their recent album. Definitely check it out.
*_cKy is the real deal. Easily one of the best rock bands of the last 20+ years._*
CKY is still one of my favorite bands, I saw them twice in Atlanta through the years and the experiences were great. I actually really like The Phoenix, I listen to those tracks all the time, I thought Chad did great with the vocals. Awesome video on the band's history.
I saw them live in 2019 at a small venue In Johnson city, Tn, and let me tell you. Best concert I've ever been to, and not just because they've been a top 5 band for me since middle school, but they were so lively, and their music sounded so amazing live. Do not miss seeing them if you get the chance.

Unpopular Opinion: I really liked The Phoenix! Favorite song is still 96 Quite Bitter Beings and favorite album being Carver City, I still like The Phoenix considering lineup and sound change. Still has that familiar energy and potential to be what they were.
Carver City is my personal favorite. “…and she never returned” “…imaginary threats” and “The boardwalk body” are just awesome
Ahhh man. Being an OC kid skating in the 90s (graduated 2000) the CKY videos were the best. It felt like we had a hand in Jackass getting started cause we were skaters who watched CKY and the Big Brother videos. Special time tear😢
One of the most unique sounding bands from that era, their stuff holds up
I actually played the opening slot before CKY in Adelaide for the Soundwave festival. Speaking of drinking and fighting, Bam was there and had been in a drunken bar fight with Hell's Angels motorcycle club members the night before.
CKY were awesome! I got to see them live in 2012 at Soundwave and had the privilege of meeting Chad and getting a picture with him while he was wandering around after they played. Super awesome memories ❤
I remember hearing ‘attached at the hip’ on tv and loved it… I didn’t have the money as a child to buy the album so I audio recorded the song on my Windows 98 pc via a little microphone.

Well... I listen to them since around 2005 in Poland, as a teenager, not very obvious how it even happened XD I like how they sound and came back to their music from time to time. Really happy to watch this video, Keep it up !
My first concert. I turned 14 two days before. Stuck around after the show and got to meet the band and hangout while they got drinks at the bar. Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville 2003. Good times.
Really great video to watch as a massive CKY fan from growing up in the 2000s. They were always one of my favourite bands and I was so happy for then when they signed to RR but man they all seemed crazy as fuck and they ruined it. Such a shame as I don't think we'll ever get another incarnation of that sound as good as IDR or AACBF.
So cool you did this one!! Live at Mr. Smalls Funhouse is one of the best live albums I've heard. World Under Blood is extremely awesome too!! Under the Autumn Low, particularly killer track!!🤘🤘I follow Deron and do remember that "hiring brothers" post. Like, ooooook 🤣🤣

Those CKY prank vids / songs were a defining part of my childhood, and I never skated once in my life as a midwestern farm boy. That’s how popular they were.
Man, I haven't thought about those guys in a hot minute. I loved Vol. 1 and Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild. They reminded me of a quirky, proggier version of Helmet. It was pretty cool how they were sort of their own thing in the early 2000s. They didn't quite fit with the emo/pop-punk/warped tour crowd or the various metal and hardcore crowds, but they managed to pulled in folks from all scenes and circles.
Escape form hellview is one of my fav tracks from that era of music. Great band!
Close yet far was one of their best songs imo
I don't see a whole lot of people mentioning it but An Answer Can Be Found. Vol 1 and Infilitrate - Destroy - Rebuild are both incredible. But An Answer Can Be Found had such a unique sound to it. And pretty much every song on it was a banger, which for the time was unheard of. It's such an easy album to put on repeat and just jam out too. LIke most here I grew up watching the CKY skate vids, jackass, Viva La Bam. Growing up loving CKY and HIM was such a generational thing and I don't really know many people outside those of us that were there who love this and like that.
For Jess to say that hanging out with Viking Skull was vacation time for him, viking skull being a band with it's own interesting history. It shows how bad it got in the band.
This was a sick video. I got a chance to interview Deron Miller a few months back and it went really well. Considering the strangeness that Deron has gotten himself into over the years he does seem to be a genuinely well meaning guy. I'm still hoping that some day soon they get back together for a proper reunion cuz the whole situation is just so rough.

Cky was the first band I paid my own money to go and see when I was 15. Grew up watching all the cky dvds so I knew all the songs and I was so pumped. It was on the ROCKADIO tour in Burlington VT. They played 5 songs and then Deron said “well we need to get this one over with” and they played 96 Quite Bitter Beings. After that, the members had a quick sidebar. Afterward Ginsburg grabbed the mic. He said to the crowd that Deron only wants to play 1 more song but we want to play for you guys all night, which would you prefer? The crowd obviously screams in approval of playing all night and then Deron (clearly drunk and embarrassed) throws his guitar into the crowd and walks off stage. Could’ve seriously hurt somebody. So the remaining three members improvised a song called CKY sucks and then they all walked off stage. It was pretty sad to see and I’ll never forget it because they were my favorite band at the time. I hopped onto the AskCKY forum on their website the next day to see if they addressed it, and there was an apology stating that Deron had checked into rehab the following morning. All that being said, I still love skating and listening to the old foreign objects instrumentals.
