Masked n\u00fc-metallers BLACKGOLD have backed out of their planned show with CKY at The Fleece in Bristol, UK tonight, November 04th, after taking issue with CKY vocalist\/guitarist Chad I Ginsburg. In a video posted on their social media today, BLACKGOLD condemned Ginsburg, though stopped short of describing any particular incident that led to this departure. They stated [transcribed by theprp.com]:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s happening people of Bristol? Unfortunately we will not make the show this evening. 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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t support it. But hey, at least we got to see a really bad vocal cover of [\u201c96 Quite Bitter Beings\u201c.] Fuck Chad.\u201d<\/p>\n
In caption on their post, BLACKGOLD added:<\/p>\n
\u201cPEOPLE OF BRISTOL. It hurts to say that we won\u2019t be playing Bristol tonight.<\/p>\n
Our whole touring crew cannot perform alongside the frontman of CKY. The level of disrespect we\u2019ve been shown by this individual, leaves us no choice but to exit. Don\u2019t be a narcissist, don\u2019t be a dick..
We\u2019ll be back soon with a headline. #knowyourworth\u201d<\/p>\n
BLACKGOLD joined up as support to CKY\u2018s latest UK tour on Halloween with tonight\u2019s show closing out their leg. Ironically, this isn\u2019t the first time Ginsburg has run afoul of their tourmates on a UK tour.
