CKY's Chad Ginsburg is so excited about his band's forthcoming disc, An Answer Can Be Found, that he's practically bursting at the seams with rabid energy. The guy's just pumped. Every expressive word that comes out of his mouth just teems with enthusiastic anticipation as he describes this, the band's fourth opus. "Um, it's a CKY album, dude," Ginsburg explained, half-awake. "It's the only kind of album we make." Damn, can't you just feel this man's febrile passion? "It's the only rock record I'll be listening to this year," he said. "It's an instant classic. It's a CKY record. I don't want anyone else's record. I want this one. It's a great record. We love it. The songs, they're new songs. They're not the same songs that were on the last record." Maybe Ginsburg, guitarist for the progressive, prank-pulling post-hardcore chug-rock trio, doesn't feel he needs to go into detail about An Answer Can Be Found because, well, he agrees with singer/guitarist Deron Miller's recent online boasts, that the record is hands down 2005's best rock album. In fact, when it comes to CKY, everything the band does is, naturally, the best ... according to CKY, anyway. "Why wouldn't it be? What else would I be existing for? This is stupid," Ginsburg said. "Everything you do better be the best. Other than that, get out of my way. It's not bullsh--. It's loud, it's passionate. But I ain't f---ing lying to you. Confidence is key. What are you going to do, commit suicide? Live, dude. It's about making sure you force the change. There are kids out there who are going to need to learn from you. It takes a certain amount of being pissed to make sure other people are happy. If I come across as cocky, I'm doing it for the good of everyone else." The latest from CKY — whose lineup is rounded out by drummer Jess Margera, Bam's bro — is due June 28, but there's much to do before then. First of all, the boys need to shoot a video for their single "Familiar Realm." "We're going to do another one with Bam, which keeps it all CKY," Ginsburg explained. "Getting other people involved tends to distract things. We like to keep things in-house. We've made plenty of videos — maybe 14 so far with Bam. Hopefully, we'll spend more money on it than we ever have before. We could do it cheap. We've done a lot of low-budget videos, and they're still better than everybody's." They'll also need to find themselves a new bassist they can take on the road for a summer tour Ginsburg said is in the planning stages: "When we can get a dude who can deal with us and we can deal with, we'll get out on tour as soon as possible. I'm anxious and ready to furiously fire the hell out of people. We're ready to do this." And then there's the airing of CKY's "A Very Special Special" on MTV2 on May 27. The documentary-style program will provide fans with behind-the-scenes, backstage and onstage glimpses of the group while previewing material from An Answer Can Be Found. Featuring soaring guitar solos for the first time in the band's brief history, Answer includes the tracks "Suddenly Tragic," "Dressed in Decay," "Deceit is Striking Gold," "Behind the Screams" and "Don't Hold Your Breath." — Chris Harris SOURCE: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1501499/2...509/story.jhtml

CKY have set a June 28 release date through Island Def Jam for their third album, "An Answer Can Be Found". Commented CKY guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller: "Our album is finally completed and all I can say is that it's a masterpiece. We have busted our asses for the last year pushing our abilities and talents to outdo what we have done in the past, and without disrespecting our other records, I feel this one blows them away. We have succesfully progressed beyond our expectations. I want to extend congratulations to Chad Ginsburg for producing and mixing this record top-fucking-notch and taking the level of this band even further than I ever imagined, and to Jess Margera for delivering the drumming that this album called for. "To the CKY Alliance worldwide...this record is totally for you. We are grateful to you for sticking with us for so long and I know you will be pleased. Much appreciation to Paul Pontius, Island Records and our management team for believing in us and letting us do exactly what we needed and wanted to do...make the best rock record of 2005..."

Anyone ever heard of "Leaves Eyes'? where are they from?

Slash

so what? CKY is my religion. I feel bad for those of you who cant hear the talent and technicality in their music. No, it may not be the most technical, but its unique. CKY is doing their own thing, there is no other band that came before them that they sound like. Uncatagorized....and as far as a drummer...Animal isnt really a cop out, if your favorite drummer isnt on here...hell...go for Animal! Drummers are harder to judge, their music doesnt really reflect how they drum behind the scenes. But i guess its all according to taste........good luck with that

Its Definatly confirmed......June 28th.....the album got a new title "An Answer Can Be Found"...which is better than "The Butchers Hand" in my opinion

Sorry for the bump........... but a release date has been announced. Its been reported on www.ckyalliance.com that the release date has been set for "The Butcher's Hand", June 28th is the date that the album is scheduled to release. The information was shared by a member of the Island Records Street Team, in his news letter it was written: "*CKY IS COMING!!! New Album will be in stores June 28! We should have tools very soon!" The post was confirmed by 3 moderators of the CKY Ålliance. We should get an official word from a band member by tomorrow or the end of this week. The tracklisting is pretty much the same with some minor changes: 1. All Power To Slaves 2. Dressed In Decay 3. Tripled Manic State 4. Behind the Screams 5. As the Tables Turn 6. Sniped 7. Mesmerized (No longer called this) 8. Just Quit (No longer called this) 9. Don't Hold Your Breath 10. Suddenly Tragic 11. Familiar Realm ~roCK I hope you are looking forward to this as much as i am :strumma:

for all you "non-believers" like myself.....i find this a great read http://daphne.palomar.edu/mlane/ATHEIST/at..._philosophy.htm

This is exactly why im Atheist......because religion and their pompus beliefs are so f'ed in the head when compared to logic

Because Metal Hammer is a UK Mag..........and a US band IS INTERNATIONAL anyways.....heres my votes.. Best UK Band: Lostprophets Best Live Band: Slipknot Best International band: NIGHTWISH Best Underground Band: Meshuggah Best Rock Label: Century Media Best Newcomer: NIGHTWISH Best Video: My Chemical Romance - "Helena"

Mudvayne = thumbsdown

well i got 3......listened to it a few days ago and didnt really like it, i dont remember why. but like i said it was 3 days ago

yeah it is....because most in the states consider it "gothy"....and thinks that all music that comes out of finland, or scanadanavia in general is devil worshippin music.....like...wtf.... ...ive been trying to get track #3 ever since you made the thread...ill tell ya what i think once i get it

Rolling stone lost my respect with this horrible review......... "If you air it, they will spin off. Featuring Jess Margera, brother of pro skater and Jackass regular Bam, CKY first made a name as the band behind some colossally stupid stunt videos that got airtime on the MTV show. Though the group studiously avoids riding Johnny Knoxville's coattails on its third album, its music still has the same skate-punk residue -- rapid-fire guitar lines; punchy, gritty drums; lyrics about suburban alienation ("I'm on the loose with my neck in the noose/But, hey, I enjoy the intense"). The result is a kind of melodic doom metal -- more ambitious than, say, Staind but still a little ham-handed. When they forgo the snarl, as on "Close Yet Far," CKY show that even desperation can be something of a prank." (2 Stars) JON CARAMANICA (RS 908 - October 31, 2002)

H.I.M. is considered pop-rock over there? ...thats pretty crazy...

Are these guys comparable to H.I.M. or Negative (the band) at all?

will they actually show their so so secretive faces?! "mudvayne" is a joke

good.......i dont like problems either

i love Gmail so far.......ive had it for about 3 months, i like the simple design that all Google's sites have. It goes to show that you dont need tons of cool graphics and have your page cluttered for a nice look.........i will definately be sticking with GMAIL

its nice to see we get important IN DEPTH news stories here at BK...... lol :))

im gonna have to go with the Three 6 Mafia........strait outtta M-E-M-P-H-I-S

Im suprised......that El Salvador song is pretty good. Thanks for the tip ;)
