Chad Ginsburg

Chad has been in the music industry for years, and appeared in his first album Reverb on the Click by the band Rudy + Blitz in 1995. Most recently, Chad has been responsible for the addition of intricate guitar solos to CKY's songs starting with their new album, An Ånswer Can Be Found. However, Chad's more basic guitar work can be heard in the earlier albums Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild, CKY Volume 1, and some work on CKY Volume 2. He is known for being and up-front about his fans, and doesn't shy away from signing autographs or posing for photos, or drinking at the bar with fans. Chad can also be seen in the CKY videos and in Bam Margera's film Haggard (2003). Chad was part of the fictitious band Gnar Kill in the film. He is not a part of the current band Gnar Kill (which is comprised of friends Bam Margera, 'Brandon DiCamillo', and band-mate Jess Margera. He is also shown in many of the early CKY films such as Landspeed: CKY (1999), and CKY2K (2000). After CKY dismissed their original touring bassist Ryan Bruni, Chad filled in, and is seen tossing his bass over his shoulder on the cover of Volume 1. In 2004, after their next touring bassist Vern Zaborowski, was fired, Chad again took over for the brief tour (the first show without Vern was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on June 27, 2004, where Chad stated, "It seems we're missing someone, although, we don't really MISS him..."). Rudy and Blitz is a band formed by Chad and Dante Cimino in the early nineties in the Philadelphia area. Dante recruited Dave Kloos to play bass and sing. Rudy and Blitz were signed to Ruffhouse/Columbia, who dropped them due to personal conflicts between the band and the record label. Chad later received the record back in his possession, intending on shopping it around to other labels, but the band broke up due to Kloos' disappearance. Rudy and Blitz later played a few shows in and around Philadelphia, and were seen on local public access channels. Since the band has split, the members went on to pursue different projects. Dante Cimino plays drums in a band called Custom Deluxe (with Kloos on bass, no vocals), a project with Kloos called "Three", and Dante also plays drums in a band called Laguardia. Kloos and Dante are now recording some stuff on their own. A remake of their CD "Reverb on the Click" was made in 2003 by Chad.
