Chuck Biscuits 1965-2009 R.I.P.
Known for his work in Danzig, D.O.A., Black Flag and Social Distortion, drummer Chuck Biscuits passed away a few days ago from throat cancer at the age of 44.
I was fortunate enough to catch him a few times with Danzig including the 1988 tour from which the picture above was taken. I’ll never forget being astounded at how high he had his drum seat. It looked liked he was standing up while playing. I met him on the Danzig II tour at an autograph session. He was pretty out of it since it was still pretty early in the day for a traveling rock musician but it was cool nonetheless.
In my opinion, Chuck’s greatest musical achievements were the first four Danzig albums. Four albums I will put up against any first four albums made by anyone–popular legends included. The drum work on those albums is some of the most powerful thumping ever put to tape.
Rest in peace Chuck. SSS will never forget.
