Track Listing:

CKY (stylised cKy) is an American alternative metal band that formed in West Chester, Pennsylvania in 1998. Centred around core members Deron Miller (vocals, guitar), Chad I Ginsburg (guitar, vocals) and Jess Margera (drums), the band shares its name with a skateboarding and stunt video series produced by Bam Margera, brother of drummer Jess. CKY is closely linked with the crew of the same name, and their music is often featured on the crew's productions including the Jackass and Viva La Bam television series.

The band was originally formed as Camp Kill Yourself with live bassist Ryan Bruni. He was replaced by Vernon Zaborowski in 2000, who was later fired from the band in 2004. Matt Deis joined in 2005 as the first full-time bassist of the band, but left in May 2010 and was replaced by Matt "Matty J" Janaitis, previously a live keyboardist with the group. CKY has released four studio albums.

Second album and international exposure (2000–2004)

Throughout the end of 2000 and the beginning of 2001, the band continued to perform on tours in promotion of their debut album. In April, another 5,000 copies of Volume 2 were released, before in May the band signed with The Island Def Jam Music Group for a worldwide distribution deal with Island Records, labelling Volcom as a "small, unorganized franchise with poor distribution". Soon after the deal was finalised, Island released a "re-mastered and enhanced" version of Volume 1, on June 26, 2001. Four editions, with different coloured printings of the album cover (featuring Ginsburg), were printed and issued – 5,000 copies each in blue, orange and purple, and unlimited copies in red, thus making it the largest release by the band to-date. When CKY had finished touring, they began writing new material for the first time since 1998, for a second full-length studio album; recording started in November 2001 and the album was completed by January the next year. Whilst preparing the new album for release, Island made Volume 1 available worldwide for the first time in June 2002, distributed through Mercury Records.

On September 24, 2002, over three years after the release of Volume 1, CKY's second studio album Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild was released in North America. An enhanced CD album containing music videos for "Attached at the Hip" and "Flesh Into Gear", the original September pressing of the album was faulty and the enhanced portions of the disc did not work. Shortly after this faulty first pressing, Island fixed the problems and reissued Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild in North America, although did not apparently recall the defective copies of the album. IDR gave the band its first experience of chart success, when it reached number 99 on the Billboard 200 albums chart; promotional single "Flesh Into Gear" also charted at number 38 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The band continued with a promotional tour which began before the release of the album and finished in December.

The day after the release of CKY's second album, legendary hard rock band Guns N' Roses (which by now included vocalist Axl Rose as the sole original member) announced that they would be embarking on their first tour in almost nine years, beginning in November of that year. Three days before the tour was due to begin with a show in Vancouver, Canada, CKY received the news that Rose had chosen them to appear as a support act, from a shortlist of approximately ten bands. Speaking about receiving the news on such short notice, drummer Margera said the following:

However, due to apparent "mechanical troubles" delaying Rose's arrival in Vancouver from Los Angeles, the first show of the tour was cancelled 20 minutes before it was due to begin with CKY's performance, with the band onstage setting up when the cancellation was announced and was followed by riots. Most of the rest of the North American tour continued as planned, until it was cancelled almost a month prematurely before a show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (thus making it CKY's 'hometown gig'), which also ended in riots.

Following the 2002 tours, CKY began 2003 by performing on the Out on the Noose Again Tour, which continued until March when Ginsburg broke his tailbone and thus postponed the tour until May. Two-song 7" vinyl EP Hellview was released on March 18, featuring "96 Quite Bitter Beings" (from Volume 1) and "Escape from Hellview" (from Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild). On May 18, the band supported heavy metal veterans Metallica at the first of a series of four shows at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California, following a personal phone call to Miller (who considers Metallica "iconic") by the band's lead vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield shortly after the Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy Tour. The Out on the Noose Again Tour continued until July, when the band took time out and prepared for an upcoming show at Electric Factory, Philadelphia on October 31 (Halloween) dubbed "Live from Hellview" which was to be recorded for a proposed DVD release. In November a full-length video album titled Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild: The Video Album was released, featuring music videos for all ten tracks from the album and two Volume 1 tracks, as well as behind-the-scenes videos for all music videos; and beginning in December, ending in March 2004, CKY completed their first tour of Western Europe. During the recording of the video for opening song "Escape from Hellview", guitarist Ginsburg was almost killed while pretending to be hung from a tree in reference to a line in the song. Speaking about the incident, Ginsburg explained that he "hung there for close to a minute" and "passed out 10 seconds in", assuring however that he "never came that close to dying".
