Nü-metal act BLACKGOLD has bailed on their show with CKY scheduled for November 4 at The Fleece in Bristol, UK over some issues with CKY vocalist and guitarist Chad I Ginsburg. In a video statement posted by BLACKGOLD (and transcribed by The PRP), the band accuses Ginsburg of being a narcissist and stated they “can not be around that guy.”
“What’s happening people of Bristol? Unfortunately we will not make the show this evening,” stated BLACKGOLD. “We can not do another gig next to the frontman of CKY. We can not support that type of narcissism. Our whole touring party just doesn’t want to be around it. We want to play for you guys and we do this for fun, but this has turned not fun. We can not be around that guy.
“So unfortunately, we are out. We will be back real soon to play another show. We thought this was gonna be fun, little bit of nostalgia to end the year for us, but it turned out to be absolutely horrendous. We can’t support it. But hey, at least we got to see a really bad vocal cover of [’96 Quite Bitter Beings]. Fuck Chad.”
