CKY Gig UEA, Norwich

A long set from the guys, but albeit with a sour twist at the end when chad used the microphone stand to attack an audience member giving him abuse, he then stormed off leaving the rest of the band to play the last two songs. The crowd was really up for it at first with a great reaction for 96QBT, The Human Drive In Hi-Fi and Escape from Hellview, but the band seemed disappointed that not many people in the audience knew many of the other songs. Deron seemed agitated that many younger members of the audience were only there to see the other margera, who was not. Before almost every song the band asked us which songs we wanted to hear and many people were screaming out their favourites only for the band to play a song no one was playing. The crowd perked up again for santa claus and flesh into gear but despite tireless enthuisiam from vern and a strong display from Deron, Chad started off the same but grew weary halfway through. The band didn't quite live up to the high expectation i had of them. I was disappointed they didn't play disengage the simulator or lost in a contraption. Despite all this though it was a great gig for the real CKY fans. 8/10

Strange that they didn't play Disengage The Simulator...they generally always play it. I take it there was no encore? Shame about all the Bamtards there...they really know how to ruin a show for real CKY fans + the band themselves.

Well while stupid twats where getting hit with mic stands (i LOVE you chad!!) one true fan was stuck outside after surfing in shipinsburg (dont drink and surf kids)...i think these gigs are ruind for fans of the BAND by stupid little shits whos only interest is 'when's bam gonna come out?' its apsolutly fucking rediculas about half of the people there were blaitantly just HIM or BAM fans and it really pisses me off...there gig at the forum in december was too much better then last night's....and they didnt play Rio Bravo... (plus people shouting for Brandon's freestyle rap etc...fuck why are they allowed to live...)

they will put it behind them because at the end of the day it was the crowd who ruined it, not the band

this being my fourth CKY show i can assure you this wasn't one of the worst shows ever and i didn't see anything seriously wrong with the show. 'the crowd ruined it'? fuck off mate, it takes more than just a few Bam Margera lookalikes to ruin a gig for me. the only people who might have ruined it for some were the overly authortarian security staff who ordered anyone under 5ft5 to get out of the crowd and kicked crowd surfers out of the gig- then again, save crowd surfing for festivals because it's starting to fuck me off. it was a different show to the others I've seen and it made quite a nice change. They didn't open with Rio Bravo but played Inhuman Creation Station, which works as well as if not better than RB. They also played Sara's Mask, a track I'd never heard live and one that went down very well with the crowd. The audience was quite young and some, uninitiated in the ways of CKY for example when they played Promiscuous Daughter and Deron left the audience to sing 'What can be done with my!' I was the only person I could see in the main crowd who sang back. I really can't see what people are complaining about. My friend Rob and I built up an awesome pit during the intro to Escape From Hellview and the crowd loved CKY. 'To All Of You' was another great song played well with the classic Deron start and the rest join in. The band took a break towards the end and came back on to play GG Allin's 'Bite It You Scum', which might have got Chad a bit excited as the next thing I saw him doing was beating someone in audience with the microphone stand. Once he stormed off the band finished with 'Close Yet Far', maybe highlighting their need for rest and the end of the tour. I was suprised not to hear Disengage The Simulator but I also don't think they should have a setlist set in stone. In response to those that said 'this sounds like the worst show ever' and 'there gig at the forum in december was too much better then last night's' (who taught you English?) I completely disagree. The Forum concert was my first CKY gig and I was pretty disappointed because at that one the crowd almost did ruin it. In fact, at that concert at least 50% of the people came to see Bam & Co and they got what they wanted. I'll agree with chrisbray1 and give this show 8/10.
