  "textContent": "More CKY drama. In November last year, a British nu-metal group called BLACKGOLD pulled out of their tour with the Pennsylvania rock band due to frontman Chad I Ginsburg's \"disrespect\" and \"narcissism.\" Yesterday, CKY's bassist Mike Leon, formerly of Soulfly, posted a statement that he quit the band due to Ginsburg's \"toxicity\" and \"unprofessionalism.\" Ginsburg then responded with a video saying Leon was actually fired for hating dogs.\n\nThe post CKY Bassist Quits Due To Chad I Ginsburg’s “Toxicity,” Frontman Claims He Was Fired For Hating Dogs appeared first on Stereogum.",
