ction Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 It's Halloween, you should be listening to the Misfits today. Seriously. Glenn Danzig may be a joke now, but he wrote some amazing songs in the late 70's/early 80's. Might I suggest some Walk Among Us, or perhaps Static Age? P.S. Here's a picture of the Misfits in their WAU-era "heyday": It's funny, they would probably draw a thousand people per show (maybe more) if they toured now, but probably routinely played to less than 50 back then.

Mrs. Peel Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 They just played in Hartford this week. Or more more accurately, that one guy from the Misfits played in Hartford this week with the guy from The Ramones and the guy from Black Flag. I heard they were awful. Now, the REAL Misfits? Yeah, I can get with that appreciation thread! 20 EYES IN MY HEAD! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Peel Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I have to admit though, I saw their FIRST comeback tour when it was everyone but Glenn, and they were freakin' awesome! The replacement singer sounded just like him and the rest of the band was original. Now I think it's just Jerry Only, plus Marky Ramone and Dez from Black Flag.

Mrs. Peel Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Here's a little anecdote....when I worked for an airbrush paint company I used to talk to Jerry & Doyle's mother all the time. She owned a nail salon in Lodi, NJ and specialized in airbrushed nails. She ordered from me. I once told her I liked her sons' band. She couldn't believe I knew of them.

bjorn_skurj Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Man, The Misfits were the shit back then. "Death Comes Ripping." Sigh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_fliz1 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Glenn Danzig may be a joke now You tell him that I ain't gonna do it. The last time I checked he hasn't gotten any smaller. Muscle wise that is, from everything I heard he's something like 5 feet tall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ction Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 That's probably my favorite Misfits song. That or "Hybrid Moments". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 "Hybrid Moments" is definitely top notch. They've got a lot of top notches. Misfits = (That's a devil lock he's banging up there) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
