CKY - Camp Kill Yourself
 

Hello there,

I've recently ran out of music to listen to, so I went through my archive, from the age when I still had money to buy CDs. This age is long-over, and I keep a list of CDs I have yet to buy. To cut a long story short, I found my CKY-albums again.

I dunno about the USA, but here, you don't hear anything like them. They're just unique. Sure, they're not on the radios, MTV only broadcasts their songs when they're in Jackass or Viva La Bam. So, basically, nobody knows them over here. I'm sure that this is different in your place, since I've seen concert-videos.

So for everyone who doesn't know: CKY is a band. And if you'd never think that none of the Margera family, aside from April and Phil, could ever come up with something actually enjoyable, then you haven't seen what Jess Margera, Bam's brother, does. He's the drummer of this band. So here's who's in it:

• Deron Miller: Vocals, guitar, bass
• Chad Ginsburg: Vocals, guitar, bass
• Jess Margera: Drums
• Matt Deis: Bass

Their music is hard to describe (if someone could help me out here, I'd be glad), but I'd put them in the rock genre. You most likely know a song of theirs if you either played "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" or if you have seen the shopping-cart stunt on Jackass. If you want any more information, make sure to have a look at their Official page.

My personal favourite is "Disengage the simulator" from "Volume 1". I can't really say why, but it has something cheerful yet dark and gloomy to it.But then again, I lack comparision here.

Apparently they have a new album called "An answer can be found", which I haven't heard so far. Is it any good? I read that they're becoming "sell-outs", but then again, people say that about just every band today.

You can, of course, add your comments to the band, their music and your favorites here.

God I love CKY. IDR and Volume 1 are two of the best rock albums ever.

Ever.

I'd say they are very unique even in the states, that's what attracted me to them. 96 Quite bitter beings, Flesh in to Gear, Atatched at the Hip and Sporadic Movement are my favorites of their songs probably.

Have you heard their newest album yet? I think of spending some of my un-money (money I actually wouldn't have) on that CD, but since I got bills to pay and all that and I don't know when I will have my next salary, I have to be careful with stuff I buy. So, is it worth buying?

Rock... What type of rock? Deep Purple rock? Dream Theatre rock? Grunge rock? Papa Roach rock? Die Toten Hosen Rock? Any additional information about relative bands would be appreciated.

Well... uhm... Rock. You see, I can't really compare them to anything, mostly because there's apparently nothing to compare them to. But you can listen to some song samples on Amazon. This is only Volume 1, they have more albums. Three or four, I think. One doesn't really seem to be counting for some odd reason.

96 Quite Bitter Beings is the only song I recognized.:P

However, I'm really interested in getting the CKY DVDs.8)

Where did you find the additional three bitter beings? :D

The DVDs are awesome, get them asap. Really. It's Jackass with less Johnny Knoxville and a tad more style, when you look at the visual presentation of it all. And they have great music, of course.

WHOOPS! My bad.

Fixed it.:)

I like CKY up until recently. The whole "I'm Bam Margera and I'm doing the EPK for both of my favorite bands (CKY and HIM) so you should buy their albums and stuff 'cause I'm hardcore" bit just totally turned me off. That and...

It's complete crap. There are NO decent songs on the entire album. I'll be willing to "lend it to you permentantly" if desired.

And I too ran out of music to listen to, so I caved in and started listening to Phish recordings.

You're not telling me you hate a band because some guy, who actually doesn't have that much to do with the band itself (aside from being the drummer's brother), promotes it? That's really weird...

It was the straw that broke the camel's back. For me, at least. That, and the stupid DVD they released. And, of course, the new CD.

I like the old CKY stuff, cant stand there new stuff, but yeah. BAM mediocreskater has given me a hate of both HIM and CKY. the cky movies are funny as hell though. cky2k is by far the funniest.

I love Cky and Im not going to let Bam's jackassery and selling out make me not like them. HIM is pretty good too.


Haha, Ill take you up on that man. Id be willing to "permanently borrow it". Haha.


*EDIT* Crap...Just realized I double posted. Sorry about that. I tried to delete it but couldn't. I guess playing poker while posting is a bad idea cause you can't concetrate on either.
