Title: Misfits Post by: qcmyoungwill on September 10, 2007, 08:20:44 AM Anyone going to see the Misfits in Ft. Lauderdale on November 24th? Just got my tickets! :smoking:
Title: Re: Misfits Post by: cfcsfc on September 11, 2007, 06:35:14 AM Enjoy it dude- I saw them last year. People put down the Jerry fronted version of the band, but they put on a real fun show! It was great.
And also hang around at the end- at my show Jerry came out and signed everything for everyone. Real friendly guy. Also last year I saw Danzig, and he did the Misfit mini-set with Doyle- was amazing! Title: Re: Misfits Post by: qcmyoungwill on September 11, 2007, 03:49:38 PM I read somewhere that Doyle may be around on this tour because it's the 30th anniversary. Everyone except Glen... almost perfect.

btw graves owns glen :P Title: Re: Misfits Post by: Wheres Izzy on September 11, 2007, 05:56:39 PM Enjoy it dude- I saw them last year.

Real friendly guy. Also last year I saw Danzig, and he did the Misfit mini-set with Doyle- was amazing! I'm going to see them on the 27th here in Jersey. I've seen them so many times I honestly lost count. Somewhere in the double digits. I went to see Glenn play with Doyle 3 times as well, it was pretty awesome hearing him sing some of my favorite songs ever. And Jerry always hangs out after the show no matter what. He literally doesn't leave a single person wanting an autograph or a picture without one, it's insane. He's an incredibly cool guy. Title: Re: Misfits Post by: Bill 213 on September 11, 2007, 08:45:00 PM Haha did you guys ever meet Jerry when he wasn't dressed up. He looked like a high school gym teacher when I met him. Had these bright ass sweat pants on and some polo shirt and he was wearing glasses. The guy is awesome though. There couldn't be a more sincere artist to his fans. He literally talked to my friend and I for over 20 minutes before his show in State College one night. I felt bad for actually keeping him away from other people, but the dude is a pro.
I really wish Glenn would stop being an asshole and maybe repair his ties with Jerry. That would be the greatest fucking show possible. Glenn's voice is turning to shit these days though so they better do it soon. Title: Re: Misfits Post by: von on September 12, 2007, 01:32:42 AM I'm a fan of Danzig's post-Misfits work. In fact I'm going to see him the weekend before Halloween. But yes, Michale Graves does indeed own Danzig as Misfits frontman. The "Resurrected" Misfits are where I really got into them, and while I have all of the Graves albums I have no interest in the Danzig era. I can't stand shitty production, which is why I have a problem with most punk music, but with Graves they took on a much more metallic feel, sort of a sped up death rock. Samhain was great old school death rock, and I think the Danzig albums are amazing. It's just Danzig Misfits and me never clicked. Still, going to see Danzig and then going to see the Jerry-fronted Misfits the next fucking day this Halloween. Should be ... exhausting. Doyle's playing Danzig's show with his band Gorgeous Frankenstein, so I don't see him playing with Jerry at all on this one. Even though it's the 30th anniversary, which is disappointing.

If you want Danzig-era Misfits with good production........try to download the album called "12 Hits From Hell". Basically it was pulled because Glenn and Jerry both hated the final mix, but Caroline records had a few copies pressed anyway (only like 1000 and they're super rare now). Either way it's easily available on most files sharing networks and the mastering is far better than even Static Age. It's also the only sessions that the Misfits recorded as a five piece band.

Thanks. I'd heard about the album but (for obvious reasons) never came across it. I'll search for it now :beer: Title: Re: Misfits Post by: qcmyoungwill on September 12, 2007, 05:28:23 PM Graves owns Glen? It's Glen's music. He's the guy who wrote and recorded it originally. That's like saying Weiland sings GNR better than Axl. I don't care how good Michael Graves is... the Misfits are Glen Danzig, Jerry Only, Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, and anyone who can play the drums (Although Franch? Coma had a part in some awesome tunes). Period. You are obviously retarded.
Title: Re: Misfits Post by: CheapJon on September 12, 2007, 05:43:48 PM Graves owns Glen?? It's Glen's music.? He's the guy who wrote and recorded it originally.?

Yes we obviously are retarded since we have a different opinion then yours :D sorry people for going off topic but he brought it up.. GNR did a shitloads of covers but by your logic all the originals of those covers are better then GNR's versions.. uhmkay ::) I think i even read that trent reznor thought cash's hurt was better then his..but you would never think that mr narrowminded because cash didn't write it and record it first Title: Re: Misfits Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on September 12, 2007, 05:56:49 PM Graves owns Glen??

Title: Re: Misfits Post by: von on September 12, 2007, 09:28:36 PM Except that Graves wrote or co-wrote most or all songs on the albums he appears on. Graves had enough original material of his own that covering Danzig's never really became an issue. That's like saying Scott Weiland can't compare to Axl even on his own material with Velvet Revolver (which he can't anyway, I'm just making a point) just because Axl came before him and he covers some of Axl's material in concert. The Misfits with Michale Graves are an entirely different entity than they were in the Danzig era. Their sound as a whole was completely different. But Graves music just clicked better with them for me and for other fans.
Title: Re: Misfits Post by: crow316 on September 13, 2007, 03:36:03 AM No Glenn= Not the Misfits
Title: Re: Misfits Post by: qcmyoungwill on September 13, 2007, 04:16:35 PM Graves stuff with the Misfits may be good... but it isn't what most people think of when they think of the band. I am talking about the original Misfits. The band that was innovative. Glen created the band. And do you know why Jerry calls the band the Misfits? Because Glen still owns the name and rights and gets a piece of the action without having to do a thing. If Axl wasn't around and Velvet Revolver called themselves GNR... I wouldn't think they were. I don't care if Cash thought Trent's version of Hurt was better... it's still Cash's song. That is why it is called a cover. GNR's version of Mama Kin is great... It's still Aerosmith's song. The lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd is Ronnie Van Zant's brother and they call themselves Skynyrd... but they aren't. I am looking forward to seeing the Misfits in November... but I would be shiting myself to see them if Danzig were there. HE is the Misfits.
Title: Re: Misfits Post by: CheapJon on September 13, 2007, 04:33:44 PM I don't care if Cash thought Trent's version of Hurt was better... it's still Cash's song. no, judging from your logic it's reznors song Title: Re: Misfits Post by: qcmyoungwill on September 13, 2007, 05:22:39 PM Why do you say that? And how did this become a pissing match? lol
Title: Re: Misfits Post by: CheapJon on September 13, 2007, 05:40:21 PM Why do you say that?? probably because reznor recorded it in like 94 and cash covered it in 2002 And how did this become a pissing match?? lol probably because i'm "obviously" a "retard" since my opinion differs from yours "lol" Title: Re: Misfits Post by: von on September 13, 2007, 07:21:38 PM Overall career:
Glenn Danzig > Michale Graves The Misfits: Glenn Danzig < Michale Graves Case closed. Flawless victory. The pissing match can end here :hihi: EDIT: Cash's version of "Hurt" can kick as much ass as it does, but it's still and will always be Reznor's song. Too many younguns are coming up without even realizing it's an NIN song. I thought that was blatantly obvious for all to see, but the amount of people who've started to believe it's a Cash original really scares me. Worked well for Cash. Worked better for Trent. He wrote it. About himself. Well, that's just my opinion. I don't think you're a retard if you disagree. Title: Re: Misfits Post by: crow316 on September 14, 2007, 06:02:20 AM The Misfits was Glenns vision. His idea and his music. The Graves "Misfits" no matter how much you like the music is not the real Misfits.
And am I the only one who prefers NIN Hurt over Cash?

I love the graves stuff, but come on, the orignal Misfits songs are just so much better. Whether or not you prefer Graves vocals over Danzigs, which I don't but I could understand, ya gotta admit the songs were better. Lyrically a lot or the Graves stuff is more cartoonish as opposed to Danzigs Misfits lyrics which were incredibly fucked up a lot of the time but in that really fun way like when you see someone killed really gruesomely in a movie. And no song with Graves has melodies anywhere near as catchy as "Horror Business", "Astro-Zombies", "Night Of The Living Dead", "Halloween", "Horror Hotel", "Hyrbid Moments", and so on. And that's not even mentioning 'Earth A.D.', which is an amazing album start to finish. That album is basically the birth of Thrash and not many bands that have attempted that sound have come close to measuring up to songs like "Death Comes Ripping", "Blood Feast", "Earth A.D.", & "Demonomania". Title: Re: Misfits Post by: cfcsfc on September 14, 2007, 01:43:09 PM Geez, what is it with this board and old line up vs. new line up fights! ;)
I love Danzigs stuff and I love Graves stuff. To me they both had a bunch of amazing moments. It all comes down to preference. As far as only Glenns stuff being 'The Misfits', I don't buy into that. Graves stuff is instantly recognisable as Misfits to me, and they produced enough material with him to live up to the name.

Fair enough. At least you didn't call me names :beer: Title: Re: Misfits Post by: qcmyoungwill on September 14, 2007, 04:04:46 PM Sorry. Yes... Trent may think that Cash's version is better... but it is still Reznor's song. I appologize for confusing anyone (myself included). I stand by my original argument that Danzig is the better frontman of the Misfits. In my mind, the only frontman of the Misfits. Like crow316 said, "The Misfits was Glenns vision. His idea and his music." Almost everything about the Misfits is Glen Danzig. I don't think that the Misfits would be such a momumental band if it was Graves originally and not Danzig. As I said before, the only reason they even call themselves teh Misfits is because Glen lets them. And I do appologize for name calling. Not a good way to back up my argument. I am obviously the retard.
I am going to add to the topic by naming a few of my favorite Misfit songs. If you would like to add yours... by all means. London Dungeon Teenagers From Mars Some Kinda Hate Hollywood Babylon Attitude Title: Re: Misfits Post by: von on September 14, 2007, 06:56:54 PM Well, that's rare. Apology accepted :beer:
Here's a bunch of my favorites, easy to pull up because I'm in the process of putting together a few mix CDs for a Halloween party my film group is throwing. Anyway, they're mostly Graves era songs, but I really mean nothing by it :hihi: "Halloween II" "Dig Up Her Bones" "Crimson Ghost" "Mars Attacks" "Hate the Living, Love the Dead" "Shining" "Don't Open 'til Doomsday" "Scream!" "Saturday Night" "Pumpkin Head" "Descending Angel" "Monster Mash" (Cuts from the Crypt version) "Fiend Without a Face" "Bruiser" "This Magic Moment" Title: Re: Misfits Post by: Wheres Izzy on September 14, 2007, 09:39:15 PM Well, that's rare.
