Sad shit. Dude was too young. Great drummer. RIP.

Former DANZIG Drummer CHUCK BISCUITS Loses Battle With Cancer - Oct. 29, 2009

James Greene, Jr., a freelance music writer from Brooklyn, New York, reports that legendary hard rock drummer Chuck Biscuits, whose lengthy résumé included stints in such flagship underground acts as BLACK FLAG and SOCIAL DISTORTION, died Saturday (October 24) after a prolonged battle with throat cancer. He was 44 years old.

"In response to the inquires, thank you for all the support," an anonymous family member wrote in an e-mail sent yesterday morning. "Chuck did not survive his battle with throat cancer. He passed surrounded by his family on 10/24/09."

Chuck Biscuits was probably best known to the general populous for his work with DANZIG. Beginning in 1988, Chuck played on that group's first four albums, which are often hailed as DANZIG's best (thanks in no small part to Chuck's powerful drumming style). The percussionist also appeared on 1993's "Thrall: Demonsweatlive" EP; that release yielded an unexpected chart-burning hit for DANZIG in "Mother" a song the band originally included on their self-titled debut.

WTF

[Nick]

WTF is that the article didn't even mention him as a founding member of DOA. His drumming was particularly amazing on that shit.

[noel_nothing]

he's my all time favorite.

[elliot]

Dude was also in Black Flag and Social Distortion. He left a pretty amazing legacy.

[servo]

did some work with run dmc as well

[joseph]

****UPDATE: Rumors are beginning to swirl that this story is some kind of elaborate hoax involving a Facebook page and several months' worth of correspondence from someone claiming to be Chuck. We are looking into it.****

[servo]

its on wikipedia. that means its true until it is edited

edit: i have edited the wikipedia page and returned chuck from the grave

[DaVo]

Dude was also in Black Flag and Social Distortion. He left a pretty amazing legacy.

Fear, the Weirdos and I think the Misfits, also.

[jjjsXe]

He sounds like the me of the 80's. I hope I don't die at 44. I hear the more bands you are in, the earlier you will die.....fuck...

[Nick]

Easily one of the best punk drummers ever. Really sucks.

Saw him with Social Distortion in '96. He was pretty amazing and made it look effortless.

[Nick]

We were all scammed by the interwebz. It IS a hoax it seems. Glad I guess.

OTIS LINK JUST HEARD FROM CHUCK BISCUITS! (UPDATED!)Share
Today at 4:25pm
Okay, guys. I take this as a solid refutation of the Chuck Biscuits death rumors. Otis Link was business partners with Chuck Biscuits back in the '80s, in a concern called Otis 'n' Biscuits. Here's what Otis just posted on his Facebook page:

" Otis Link Heard from CHUCK BISCUITS today at 1:51 he says "This is fucking retarded" no you cant have his email."

This, after Otis' more detailed earlier post:

" Otis Link CHUCK BISCUITS!!!! Not True to me until the dead guy sings!
I cant keep up with the calls and the emails, here is what I know.
Chuck sent me an email last night at 11:55 DEAD MEN DONT EMAIL!
I talked with Bob, chucks brother today, Chucks family has not been notified of a death. Normally they are told if their brother or son is sick or dead.
A rumor started in august about cancer, Chuck was fine then too."

News reporters at wire services, please note: THE INTERNET IS NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE! As Blabbermouth.net put it in one of their updates, "Rumors are beginning to swirl that this story is some kind of elaborate hoax involving a Facebook page and several months' worth of correspondence from someone claiming to be Chuck."

*shakes head* Thank Jah that Chuck still lives. And thanks, Otis, for clearing it up.

UPDATE: Okay, y'all. Dig Otis' latest post:

" Otis Link CHUCK BISCUITS still aint dead! just smells funny.
How awesome is it that the media does not care about confirming anything any more. No one ever contacted chuck or his family to see if he was dead. His brother just talked with him at work today."

Re-read that: BOB MONTGOMERY, CHUCK'S BROTHER, SPOKE WITH HIM ON THE PHONE. TODAY. AT HIS WORKPLACE. Now, let's see the media rush to correct this *guffaw!*....

[DARKBASS]

Chuck Biscuits was awesome! And he is awesome! He is NOT dead!

I heard about that hoax, sounds pretty fucked up for someone to do such a thing.

Obviously he did great punk stuff, but my favorite is........

His work with Danzig, those albums are fucking excellent.

That is how you play rock n roll ladies and gentlemen!

He also kicked ass laying down drum tracks RUN DMC!

Famed punk drummer Chuck Biscuits isn't dead after all. Instead, the man born Charles Montgomery -- who has played with the likes of D.O.A., Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, Danzig and Social Distortion -- was the victim of a death hoax involving an elaborate correspondence from someone claiming to be Biscuits.

According to music blogger James Greene, Jr., this punk rock version of the Balloon Boy mess started when an imposter using an e-mail address that was previously believed to have been used by the drummer sent out an e-mail Tuesday, Oct. 27, claiming that Biscuits, 44, died last Saturday after a prolonged battle with throat cancer. The death story was picked up by a number of music outlets, Spinner included, after an e-mail supposedly sent by a member of the Montgomery family falsely reported that "Chuck did not survive his battle with throat cancer. He passed surrounded by his family on 10/24/09."

Vancouver 's The Straight managed to get in touch with the drummer's former D.O.A. bandmate Joey Keithley, who reported that Biscuits is alive. Meanwhile, Circle Jerks vocalist Keith Morris also disputed reports of Chuck's death to BrooklynVegan.

Since the original story broke, former Danzig bassist Eerie Von and Chuck's own brother Bob Montgomery questioned the reports of Chuck's passing. Biscuits was seen at work on Thursday and was supposedly "pissed off" about the erroneous news of his demise. Biscuits has yet to make a public statement, but we're all very glad to learn that he's alive and well.
