We opened for AAF at the Gathering in 2023, and they were the upmost nicest dudes ever. So much so, we were at the dining hall eating, and we were too afraid to say hello to them because, well, theyre AAF. Dryden walked in by himself, saw us sitting by ourselves, and came over and introduced himself, shook all our hands and said he was excited to hear us. After our set they literally shook us by the shoulders being so stoked and hype over our set. Super disgusting behavior of Chad. Dudes lost in his own skull as a rock star who cant sing Deron's parts. Feel so bad for Jess and Elvis.
Thats dope AAF played the gathering, I wasnt able to go this year and i hope they bring some dope ass acts back like AAF for the 25th annual next year.
Dryden sounds like a class act. Treat everyone as equals, everyone trying to do their best and need to work hard day in and day out. Be empathetic as a human. Awful he got punched, hope he’s ok.
The goal should always be to treat others with respect and don't be a POS... but a musician mistreating the stage crew seems as foolish as antagonizing the person about to make your food
Deron is smirking hard. For those who don't know modern CKY is NOT CKY. CKY's music was written almost entirely by original vocalist and guitarist Deron Miller. You can find the ACTUAL music of CKY continuing under the band 96 Bitter Beings. I still find it absurd they tour under the name as Deron was almost 100% their sonic core. CKY with Chad and Jess is a tribute band living off another man's work.
You are correct. Deron was a very critical member of the band they just can't recover from that loss. It's sort of like what happened to Sick Puppies after they lost their first singer.
CkY isn't making new music they play the old songs and they're fine for that because it's a superior catalog than alien ant farm . But they have troubled personalities for sure@@SoUnDMaN831
I loved AAF back in high school. Always thought they made a mistake by having Smooth Criminal as their first single. Not that it wasn’t an awesome cover song, but that kind of killed their reputation. So many other great songs on that album they could have led with. Instead they became “that band that did the Michael Jackson rock song”.
I'm not into either of these bands but the guy he punched has had a C1/C2 neck fusion surgery???!! Is he insane?? He could have paralyzed that guy!! All it takes is one bad neck snap and you're done!! This is beyond reckless. It's borderline criminal. The alien ant farm guy should have pressed charges.
I wish them the best, I'm not a hater but CKY were once great, then they lost Deron and things fell apart in my opinion. They really need to just stop.
These are the kind of dudes who will just call anyone who criticizes them "too soft" as an excuse to never grow as a human being. And that mentality is completely rotting the minds of whole demographics of people more and more and certain people cheer them on for it and reassure them the problem is with everyone else.
Technically we are not “late into the 21st century” there are still 75 years and 7 weeks left of the 21st century, but anyway, I agree with your point. Bands need to grow up and stop acting like they can just tell everyone to f-k themselves and treat everyone like dirt just because they are in a band. I know being in a band is supposed to be the best “job” in the world, but you still need to respect other people whether they are a fan or in another band.
@@SoUnDMaN831i said “this late” which isn’t the same as “late”. And by that I mean that we shouldn’t even be hearing about these two bands anymore. Their time is long past.
@@rabidgoon So you're a Top 40 hits person? Then go listen to your Top 40 radio and pay no mind to the older bands who are out trying to entertain the fans who still care, instead of whining about how "we shouldn't even be hear about these two bands anymore"
Feel bad for Jess (drummer in CKY). He’s a super nice guy but he always has to deal with all this drama all the time with either Chad or previously with Deron.
@@tunelowplayslow5623 Yeah, Bam is another one who needs to grow up and get his shit together. Not just for himself, but for his family and for his son.
I met the guys from AAF back in college. They were solid dudes. After Dryden getting hurt in the accident, I kind of lost track of them. I'm glad he stood up for the crew. It doesn't matter if you're behind the stage or in front of it, everyone deserves to be treated right.
AAF still so underrated. New album is great! "Movies" is on multiple often-followed playlists of mine. That band is insanely talented and unique. They always kind of reminded me of an updated version of Mr. Bungle
Im just surprised AAF get to make that decision Id have thought CKY were the bigger band and have control of the tour. Who the hell is seeing AAF as a single headliner lol
Alien Ant Farm had actual hits that charted on mainstream bill boards, CKY is a relatively unknown Indy band that had a brief period of visibility because of Jack Ass. The difference between these two bands from a financial and mainstream success stand point isn’t even close.
CKY is a B grade band at best these days. Dudes have been irrelevant since Deron left. Also wouldn’t expect anything less from Chad, GG Allen wannabe..
Love the content. Nobody has time for haters and instigators. Screw that guy. (Friendly suggestion...maybe some acoustic treatment in the studio space.) 🤘
Of course it was chad😂😂😂😂 he has an abrasive attitude😅😅😅😅 cussed out a kid, cussed out Ryan dunn i know the guy the man has that axel rose demeanor with a gg allin feel to everything he does
Wild to hear this- The last time I heard; CKY was chill- they make skateboarding music … And one of my favorite bands Chase The Comet toured with them, no drama spoken of. This was literally a few months back.
Could've made Chad super salty by kicking him off the tour by himself and allowing his band mates who did nothing wrong to stay on as guest members of one of the bands. Chad would've deserved that for being an asshole.
When they played here in my town, he was such a prima donna. He wanted to cancel the show saying there wasn’t enough people to play for and truly just seemed miserable.
I too love the new AAF album...I just wish it had the same mix as ANThology. That album sounds incredible and unfortunately on the new record the drums and bass don't have the same punch. AAF has phenomenal musicians, they deserve to be heard!
Tried listening it and it was awful. Shippensburg started out promising but then one Derron started singing I legitimately laughed at how bad and far from the original it sounded.
I seriously doubt the other guys in CKY would have been oblivious to how he was acting, if you're gonna let that crap ride then you don't deserve to be on tour with anyone, shouldn't be up to folks from another band to clean your house up for you.
I'm reading so many positive experiences people had with AAF I wish I had one. I saw them on the Warped tour and met them at their merch tent after their set. I said that it sucked that they played so early and I missed almost their since we had trouble finding parking. Dryden told me that next time we should get there earlier and that there's nothing but shitty bands left. I'll chalk it up to them having a bad day.
They aren't really CKY without Deron anyway. Not because he was a better singer or anything like that, but rather because he was the principle song writer for CKY. 96BB sounds more like CKY than CKY does. Why do you think that is?
I seen these guys with bam margera at the machine shop and he was shit faced throwing half open beers at people and slurring his singing. I'm all for a good time but they need to be able to keep their members in line.
I have to be honest... If I was a guitar legend like Chad Ginseng from a brilliant rock band like Camp Kentucky Fried Chicken I would also see lowly members of a road crew as undeserving of respect and consideration.
That little weirdo tried to flex in my friends record store. Skulking around , waiting for someone to notice him. This was in early oughts, and there was still good music on the radio, and maybe the last real run of the music industry..cky isn't good enough to have drama. Trust fund skaters etc...

@@danielsouza4712don’t forget Foreign Objects. 👍
@@danielsouza4712 I know Jess was involved but my point was that the sound of CKY is all Deron. Jess's drumming isn't exactly unique.
I just assumed CKY was writing music with a different singer.
He’s right, 96BB sound more like CKY than CKY
So Chad still thinks he is GG....
Pathetic 😂
He is the most annoying ever his solos record are pure cringe
What a poser
Chad’s music idol is GG Allen. Let that sink in.
Pathetic 😂
CKY is not CKY without the original singer and this proves it
You’re right. Deron wrote all the songs but unfortunately he has had issues as well and couldn’t get along with Chad and Jess.
You are correct. Deron was a very critical member of the band they just can't recover from that loss. It's sort of like what happened to Sick Puppies after they lost their first singer.
Amen!
Derron has a new band '96 bitter beings, released 2 albums. It scratches the cky itch.
Deron doesn’t need any of this & is in Malevolent Creation which blows all of these shit bands away
Both bands are still making music?!?!.. Wow!!
I’m more surprised that CKY is still making music. Alien Ant Farm’s music is better quality, in my opinion.

CKY isn't CKY without Deron Miller
Maybe he and Perry can go to Alcoholics Anonymous together?
"and chad, go to the gym" jesus christ, a very eloquent sick burn
I think he meant it as a helpful tip
Honestly had no idea CKY was actually a band. Thought it was just a Bam Margera t-shirt brand.
1:13 this guy certainly doesn’t look like a Chad, my goodness no wonder he mistreats people…look at him.
CKY without Darren is like GNR without Axl. Just pointless 😂😂
CKY without Deron is more like having Megadeth without Dave Mustaine.

Mostly alcohol, probably.

Tried listening it and it was awful. Shippensburg started out promising but then one Derron started singing I legitimately laughed at how bad and far from the original it sounded.

Bonus for some with Inme are stepping in for support for quite a few gigs before their own tour.
