mister foozel 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 I bought cKy Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild. and Volume 1 and they both kick major ass. Very refreshing sound that I am yet to get sick of, unlike some stuff I've heard where I can't stand hearing it twice. Anyone else heard them and your thoughts?

SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Yeah, I've had D.I.R. for a little while now. I think it's alright, not really mediocre, but not the best either. I mean, It satisfies me when i listen on rare occasions, but otherwise, I dont listen to it much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 I like I.D.R. a lot. Starts with "Escape From Hellview" and ends with "Close Yet Far" which are two completly different kinds of songs. I picked it up cheap cause I liked "Flesh Into Gear." I had very low expectations, but I really liked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 I like Volume 1 more, just because it has Knee Deep, which is one of my favorite songs by them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 I'm big into cKy, saw them at the begining of March at the Southampton guildhall, one of the best live acts i've seen. Got Vol.1, IDR and the video dvd which is awesome. I think its really cool that they made a video for every song on IDR out of their own money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Him/Her is among some of the most trite stuff I've ever heard. It's metal gone pussy, which totally takes any and all appeal from the sound. Cky's got a couple catchy numbers, but on the whole it falls under "Eh, it's ok" as far as I'm concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who said anything about HIM? I will agree with you though HIM are pussy metal. Thats one of things about cKy though due to the connection between Bam and brother Jess in cKy and all the cKy gear that gets worn by Bam and cronies and also all the HIM shilling by Bam as well the two bands kind of get pigeon holed together by non-fans which is kind of unfair.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 He did address them both seperately, you know. cky are fine for what they are. I probably would have liked them a lot when I was a few years younger. They sometimes make me think of POD. Initials... they're overdone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Yeah I saw that they were addressed separtely, its just when i talk to music fans in person they always pigeon hole the two bands together like that, it just gets kind of annoying after a while. I wasn't aiming the rant about HIM and cKy at AoO just in general. Also the initial thing is kind of impossed by the record label as they weren't too high on the name Camp Kill Yourself.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 7, 2004 CKY's a better name than that anyway. It could be interpreted as a subtle jab towards popular fashion.."ck...why?" Plus it rolls off the tongue better than Camp Kill Yourself. HIM is just a stupid name though, and ol' boy's brother should tell him to stick to skateboarding and breaking his neck, so he doesn't have to deal with that albatross in all of their promotion and such.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 7, 2004 I'd also like to add that I've seen the members of cky play on parker guitars. This earns them another thumbs leaning up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 CKY is pretty good. I don't think there's one song on IDR that I don't enjoy, except maybe Plastic Plan. Their video album is pretty cool as well, because how often do you get a band doing a video for every song on their CD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 One of the things that really got me into cKy was the video album as i'd heard and liked songs of theirs but never really gone out of my way to get ahold of their stuff, but one of my friends showed me the video album one day and i've been a big fan ever since. I also really liek the way that they try their best to be as connected to their fan base as possible with their ask cky section on their website where you can ask the band members questions which they respond to fairly quickly i believe so long as its a decent question or hasn't been asked before.

Garth 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Thats definatly one of their best songs, my personal favorite thoigh is attached at the hip. To anyone thats seen the video DVD in your opinion whats the best video on there - i don't think inhuman creation station can be beat except maybe by Escape from hellview.

jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 I love them, check out my avatar. They're one of the few bands who I try and keep up with on a pretty regular basis. I first heard of them when I saw them open for Snapcase in late 2000 because my girlfriend at the time loved Snapcase for some reason. I decided to check them out right as soon as I got home and bought the album the next day. I think all of their songs are pretty good, a few of them I'd rank as some of my favorite songs ever. I listened to IDR almost nonstop for months after it came out, I was so impressed. I drove out to Philly back in June and again on Halloween to see them because those were their two big for the fans concerts. Plastic Plan is probably my least favorite song of theirs as well, but hearing it live was actually very cool. Their live show is great, they're also very, very cool guys who make a big effort to talk to every single fan who approaches. I saw someone mention that they play Parker guitars, that's just their singer Deron who plays them because he is sponsored by them. They actually sponsored him pretty early on in the band's history.

Garth 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2004 Thats attached at the hip your refering to with all the spray paint. Rio Bravo is a damn good song, have you heard the remix of it? IMO its even better than the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2004 cKy is my favorite band for many reasons, but their dedication to their music and the respect they have for the fans are the main ones. I for one cannot wait until they release their new album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
