Maybe somebody as well travelled as Chuck just got burnt out. When you are playing in bands for 20 years there are obviously things you do and see that take their toll bt it is weird that he seemed to disappear altogether!

I actually got called to audition for his band when I lived in Olympia, auditions were held in Seattle.
Are you still singing in a band?
If so, point us to your bands site or where we can maybe d'load samples of your music.
I sure would like to listen to you beltin' it out!

The album was really, really good...with a singer-songwriter, alt-country flair...
But that's it...one album and then he was gone without ever releasing any new music afterwards.
Ive said this on this board before, but it was a while ago, so I'll say it again: I never thought Chuck fit well with Social D. Allthought Roxy ranks high on the short list of good live records, I wasn't at all impressed with the drumming on it. And I dont know how many of you this is news to, but Live At The Roxy is the only Social Distortion record to feature Biscuits. Allthough he is listed as the drummer for WLWHWT, he didn't actually play on the recording. The drummer you hear is a studio drummer, I believe his name is Eric something. I LOVE the drumming on White Light, it is well-timed, strong, but not in the least overbearing.
All in all, I think Charlie Quintana is the best fit for this band. I dont think anyone could fit better right now. Id go so far as to call this the best lineup for Social D since the Ness-Maurer-Dannel-Reece days, probably better. (I know Chris isnt particularly well liked in retrospect, but for where they were at the time he did quite well, in my opinion.)
Just my everpresent two cents.= )
