"Flesh Into Gear" came roaring off Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild, CKY's second album, in 2002, and as a single it climbed to number 38 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Singer and guitarist Deron Miller, guitarist Chad I. Ginsburg and drummer Jess Margera wrote it together, and Ginsburg produced it and shared the mixing with Jesse Gorman and Donat Kazarinoff for a record that came out on Island.
The song had been kicking around for a while: a demo called "Sinking Fast" showed up in 2000 on CKY2K, the band's second video. Billboard heard it as an anthem, and Spin tied it to the band's skateboarding and stunt-video roots, dubbing it "elbow-scraping rock", which about nails the lurch and swagger of the thing.
