RIP RIP Chuck Biscuits
Posted by Megan Seling on Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 10:57 AM
Drummer Chuck Biscuits—who has played with Black Flag, Danzig, the Circle Jerks, and Social Distortion—passed away Saturday afternoon from throat cancer. He was 44 years old.
The blog JG2 has a great write up about all of his musical accomplishments here.
UPDATE: According to the latest update on the JG2 blog, Chuck Biscuits is not dead. His wife has contacted the author of the post, saying Chuck is alive. Apparently the writer got bad information from a source claiming to be someone they weren't. Strange.

So sad, Chuck Biscuits helped provide an important part of the soundtrack of my youth! From listening to the Repo Man soundtrack all the time driving around highschool, to DOA's brilliant "Hardcore '81," to the first couple Danzig LPs and then seeing him live drumming for Social Distortion.

Total bummer. He was a great, great drummer. The Black Flag material he played on deserves a proper release ASAP.
I'd heard he was living in the Seattle area recently.
