Chuck Biscuits RIP
Chuck Biscuits, ex drummer of Black Flag, DOA, Circle Jerks, Danzig and Social Distortion`passed away on October 24, 2009, after a protracted battle with throat cancer…
Hailed as the greatest punk rock drummer of all time, born on April 17, 1965, in British Columbia, Canada, Buiscits played with DOA from 1978 to 1982 when he joined Black Flag still in their early days. Music producer Rick Rubin invited him to become the drummer for Danzig in 1987 and appeared in their first four LPs and one EP. He played with Social Distortion from 1996 to 1999 when he finally quit.
As a big fan of the american punk rock this is really sad news…
Producer Bill Stevenson once said: His style was easily recognizable, and he seemed to have just a ton of extra energy when playing his drums. He is one of those people who did not have to practice a lot to play really well.

My friend Jim is a DJ, known for hyperbole . . . I hope Chuck is still with us . . . I’m still reeling from Joe Strummer’s passing.

Dead or alive, seeing him drum was practically a religious experience. If he’s passed, we have lost an incredible talent. If he’s still kicking, I hope this possible hoax/debacle brings him some new audience.

Amen brother!
