future cast into doubt

The future of the band was once again cast into doubt in July 2011, when members disagreed about its future. In a video titled “CKY – What Next?”, Miller noted that he and Margera had the idea for each of the band’s members to record individual albums and then release them as an overall “CKY” package, which Janaitis also supported. However, Ginsburg was opposed to the plan, claiming that he would prefer to record a follow-up to Carver City . Miller presented an alternate version of events in an interview in October 2015, claiming that it was Ginsburg’s idea initially to produce albums in other bands (Miller in World Under Blood , Ginsburg in Rudy & Blitz and Margera in The Company Band ), before a disagreement between the guitarist and his former bandmates left him without a side project. The rift escalated in the days and weeks following the release of the video, as Miller claimed on his Facebook page that Ginsburg had left the band, before himself announcing that he too would be “throwing the towel in” after completing the group’s upcoming shows. Margera cited Miller’s alcohol abuse as one of the causes of the tensions. The band performed a show dubbed “Christmas with CKY” on December 18 in Reading, Pennsylvania , which Ginsburg labelled on Twitter as the last CKY show.
