You will notice that they lower your metabolism rate. Basically if you keep eating(and drinking) you're gonna be constipated *AND* fat! Brett said: >way back around Bible #120 or something, CG posted as list of who did >backups for WAU, and I remember Jerry being on most of the songs. As for >the other Misfits albums and singles, I have no idea...Mark? Actually I think I posted a list of *all* songs, I can't remember. In any case my source material was an alphabetical listing of all the original Misfits songs, and who did what in Jerry's handwriting. I gave that list to Mark for his archives. There were *alot* of discrepancies on it, well what do you expect? The information was coming from Jerry "ehra truth? what truth" Only AZ said: >Well, pre-orders are fine, but alot of people don't want to send in money >and wait 2 months to get their disc.

That way if you have 300 pre-orders you know to press 250, cause you know 50 people won't come through. >There is someone on here that does transfers to CDR for like $16.

Just look at the manual, there's a jumper on the board that is the digital input. basically it's the aux input bipassing the a/d converter. not difficult if you're willing to fuck with it. Also, I've seen good quality soundcards with both coax and optical digital inputs, I'm sure they are quite pricey though. >I have a feeling this tape will draw as much apathy as our T-shirt did.

First, its Denmom, not demom, altho that sounds rather like 'demon' I guess...but other than that, I've met MANY addicts who were fat fucking loads, including my exhub (remember when I was the Nearwidow?)...and I've been in the medical profession for close to 20 years, and you should remember that smack/codiene/opiates slow down your metabolism. It's only POOR junkies who are wasted and thin..the rich ones like to suck down the booze, and candy bars too. They eat like hogs and inhale the methadone and then go out and score the schoolboy*. Can anyone here remember David Crosby??? These two dopey broads useta drink about a case of beer apiece per day in addition to their habit. (one beer, ok, even a lite beer is 100 calories) we are talking about 2400 calories just in beer alone. Alcohol goes immediately to sugar in your system, converting to fat INSTANTLY for future fuel. Do some serious dope, like hydrocodone or smack or even Grampa's cough syrup with codiene, and your body quits burning calories. Enuff with the drug talk. I dont want THIS to turn into a Nazi type discussion here. Heres the Misfits content: I never saw any Misfit take any heroin. Cocaine....well...thats another story. During my socialite punk rock years Glenn did the old blowzine with me lotsa times, and the night of the Chelsea Hotel debacle, (see MSK4m's 'Misfits Book' 'tours and timeline' section for details...or maybe the future 'Best of MB' that CG and I have pondered doing for Markennedy) we were all hopped up on speed donated by none other than Rudi Protrudi of the Fuzztones. Plus my carte blanche all-you-can-drink card for Le Club Mudd at the time which is where we all spent the night getting royally fucked up prior to the evenings culmination at the NYPD station on Centre St. Yes, Jerry TOO. He's no stranger to Mary Jane past or present. Don't buy into the 'clean and sober' hype. It's bullshit. A while back somebody asked (sorry can't remember who) if Glenn really had a nosejob. While the photo on the box set was kinda meanspirited on Jerry and Eerie's part, its true that Glenn had kind of a beezer in the old days even before it was broken. Not huge or anything, but more like an Al Pacino thing goin on there. He was very self conscious about it. when it was broken, he was all excited cause then he could actually justify getting it fixed. Look at it this way..if he was a flat chested woman who got implants, or a tubby one with a mommy belly who got a tuck, who in hell would complain? He got a nose job that improved his appearance and made him feel better about himself. So fucking what? You kids need to get over yourselves.

Jerry has told me the story several times. He and Glenn and Germain went into New York City and had 5 acetates made. On the way home, they stopped at Max's and left one there for the jukebox. Then George took 2 others, Glenn took one, and Jerry took the other, and they all went home. > From: JIM > "I wish I was a Misfit" That was a pretty clever song... > From: > Subject: Skrewdriver, The Righteous Black Duck, and all other bullshit > > 2)Skrewdriver got me into the Misfits.

More > songs were taped during that show. The Misfits didn't play 12 songs for More songs were taped by a bootlegger, that is. Caroline's got all the master tapes, and there are only 12 live tracks. That's all there is to it. They're not about to distribute some low quality bootleg copy of a show that they don't even own, although the quality of Evilive isn't so hot. > I am correct on this: Boxset.

I can't argue with that. However, Caroline's plan wasn't to issue the singles in order. The sessions disc has leftover session tracks that weren't released on the other Caroline albums. Therefore, only those tracks from the Song Shop session that weren't already on Collection I or II were put on Disc 3, much like half of the MSP tracks appear on Collectin I. > Question: I thought I read in an interview, Glenn or Jerry said that Die > Die My Darling was recorded during the WAU sessions and wasn't released > cuz "it took them a long time to get songs out" if this is true then why > is robo credited for the song? If it was recorded during the WAU They recorded this song twice. The original version with Googy on drums is on the master tape for Walk Among Us, curretly owned by Elektra/Slash. The version with Robo, which was recorded about a year later is owned by Caroline. On Misfits Central... there's a section called "Discography and FAQ" http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/discog.html In part 4 of the Misfits section I have a long list of all the sessions and every single track the Misfits recorded. It's always been there.

It was started by Glenn Danzig in 1978 to replace their former label, Blank Records. After he left The Misfits in 1983, Danzig continued releasing albums on Plan 9. The label ceased to exist sometime near the beginning of 1995 when he decided to start a new record label. Over the years, there has been much confusion about what was actually released on Plan 9. A full listing is available below: 7" Releases ~~~~~~~~~~~ PL1001 - BULLET This was released by The Misfits in June of 1978. PL1003 - TEENAGERS FROM MARS This proposed Misfits single was never actually released. The idea was dropped after 5 copies of the acetate were pressed in 1978. PL1005 - VICTIMS This single by The Victims was released in the summer of 1978. PL1007 - Who Killed Marilyn?/Where Eagles Dare These two songs were recording during the HORROR BUSINESS sessions. As Glenn says in the June 1986 issue of Thrasher, "There's also a 'Who Killed Marilyn'/'Where Eagles Dare' 45 that never came out. The single was never pressed and the idea was dropped for unknown reasons. PL1009 - HORROR BUSINESS This was released by The Misfits in June of 1979. PL1011 - NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD This was released by The Misfits on Halloween of 1979. PL1013 - 3 HITS FROM HELL This was released by The Misfits in April of 1981. PL1015 - WHO KILLED MARILYN? This Glenn Danzig solo single was released in August of 1981. PL1017 - HALLOWEEN This was released by The Misfits on Halloween of 1981. PL1019 - EVILIVE This was released by The Misfits in late 1982. It was the last 7" ever released on Plan 9. 12" Releases ~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLP9 - BEWARE This was released by The Misfits in January of 1980. It was distributed and marketed by several labels in Europe, and therefore not exclusively a Plan 9 release. PL9-01 - WALK AMONG US The Plan 9 version of this album was never released. A different version (which does include the Plan 9 logo on the sleeve) was later released on Ruby/Slash. The original Plan 9 version was supposed to be released in 1981. Although it was never pressed, at least 3 copies of the center label stickers for the LP were made. It was supposed to include the following songs: Side 1: 20 Eyes | I Turned Into A Martian | Astro Zombies | Vampira All Hell Breaks Loose| Nike A Go Go | Devils Whorehouse Side 2 Night Of The Living Dead | Skulls | Violent World Horror Hotel | Ghouls Night Out | American Nightmare PL9-02 - EARTH AD/WOLFS BLOOD This Misfits album was released in November of 1983. PL9-03 - DIE, DIE MY DARLING This EP was released in May of 1984, after The Misfits broke up. PL9-04 - INITIUM This Samhain album was released in August of 1984. PL9-05 - UNHOLY PASSION This Samhain album was released in the spring of 1985. PL9-06 - LEGACY OF BRUTALITY This Misfits compilation was released in June of 1985. PL9-07 - SAMHAIN III NOVEMBER-COMING-FIRE This Samhain album was released in January of 1986. PL9-08 - EVILIVE This Misfits album was released in July of 1987. PL9-09 - MISFITS Now known as COLLECTION I, this Misfits album was released in October of 1988, although the CD version was released in 1986. PL9-10 - FINAL DESCENT This Samhain album was supposedly pressed but never released, either because of a pressing flaw or because of poor album art. The truth may never be known, but an LP version of this recording was never released. PL9-11 - BLACK ARIA This Glenn Danzig solo album was released in September of 1992. It was the final Plan 9 release. CD Releases ~~~~~~~~~~~ PL9-CD1 - MISFITS This Misfits album was the first PLan 9 CD release in 1986. PL9-CD2 - INITIUM This Samhain album was the second CD released on Plan 9. Several different variations of it have been pressed since 1987. PL9-CD06 - LEGACY OF BRUTALITY This Misfits album was pressed on CD in October of 1989. It was at this point that Glenn started ordering the CD releases the same way the LP releases were ordered. PL9-CD07 - SAMHAIN III NOVEMBER-COMING-FIRE This Samhain album was pressed on CD in November of 1989. PL9-CD08 - EVILIVE This Misfits album was issued on CD in March of 1997. PL9-CD10 - FINAL DESCENT This Samhain album was released on Halloween of 1990. PL9-CD02/3 - EARTH AD This Misfits release combined the EARTH AD album and the DIE, DIE MY DARLING EP onto one CD. It was pressed in limited quantities in April of 1992, and permanently issued in 1996. PL9-CD11 - BLACK ARIA This Glenn Danzig solo album was released in September of 1992. > Date: Tue, 18 Mar 1997 14:22:34 +0200 (EET) > From: Helena S Montonen > Subject: Punk Diary > > Then, on some later dates, concerts for the intended tour are listed.

You have to go by vinyl releases, tapes ain't shit! :-) Also, "Earth AD" on vinyl is not PL9-02/3. It only took that number on the CD (and I guess the tape) where they included the "Die Die My Darling" sessions. "Die Die" is PL9-03, and "Earth AD" is PL9-02. Or the other way around.

Monkey Meal Music... so far we've got four cool projects going on, and I think some of you may be interested in a few of them... okay, here goes: *** FernSpank - is rock and roll inspired by the likes of the Butthole Surfers, the Residents, and Ween... these four guys just released their critically acclaimed "Touch Someone is Space" album on the Monkey Meal Label and plan to tour in the summer. check them out at: http://www.evansville.net/~loser *** The MoFS - is a solo-project by FernSpank vocalist Aaron Tanner and leans more towards the Residents in music styles... he is currently working on an album called "Chew Thoroughly" for the Monkey Meal Label. more info at: http://www.evansville.net/~loser/the_mofs/ *** THX1138 - is the solo project of FernSpank guitarist, Mark Nance (me). Influenced by the Butthole Surfers and the Misfits (with some Residents thrown in for flavor... ), he plans to release an album late this year. He's already got a kick-ass cover of Static Age, plus two other originals recorded, and would like to work out trades for your band's demo. http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/1094/thx1138.html *** The Butthole Surfers Tribute Album - a tribute to one of the greatest rock and roll bands of our time. Featuring: FernSpank, Wednesday Brains, Lava Lamp 2000, Noisebleed, Hissyfit, and many others, this album will probably be out in November. We are still recruiting bands to participate in this project... http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/1094/bhs.html Sorry for the long post, but I thought you all should know.

Not only is it extremely cheap, but it's damn good. Very professional looking and great quality. Pollo---Plan 9-05 is Unholy Passion which was release on vinyl only, or on CD/tape with Initium as Plan 9-4/5. Also, the Collection 1 (CD at least) is Plan 9-1. Although the vinyl is Plan 9-9. It could not be Walk Among Us, as that was on Ruby, not Plan 9. If you check the WWW page, you will find that Walk Among Us was intended to be Plan 9-1, I don't know why it changed, I think Ruby screwed them over or something.

I listened to some of it in the store and it sounded OK.

You are ignorant. I live 40 minutes from Berkeley. I used to go see Greenday when they were underground and cool. Now they are putting out bad songs. Rancid are local boy's. A good friend of mine went out with Lint and is now with the guitarist to A.F.I. Rancid used to kick ass live at Gilman St. I have a first pressing of their first 7". I have changed my mind a bit. I think their 2nd album "Let's Go" is okay, I think the production is bad. Except for 2 songs, every song on that album has the drums come in on a snare roll. The drumming is very repetitive and boring. The drumming on the first album was just fine and I didn't know Brett sucked. The first album is amazing and a classic. Matt's bass playing is superhuman. Like I said, get him together with Biscuits. Now, the 3rd album, what is that Ruby Soho Crap and the sucky rewrite of Roots Radicals? That whole album is crap (except the first song) Lars is a fuckin' Glam rocker and he ruined that band. How can you say Olympia is a good song? how can you say it is better than The Bottle? Rancid and Greenday and A.F.I were really good before they got popular. Beleive, I've seen all those Gilman St. bands come and go. I remember when Mike Dirnt of Greenday got beat up at Gilman for signing to Warners. The next band to see the light of the mainstream is probably Screw 32. I dunno, If anyone is in the San Fransisco area, come see my band and Screw 32 at Gilman April 11th.

Damnit, Jim ! You know these human cloning experiments are supposed to be secret, but now that the cat is out of the bag - it's the clone that plays bass in TIMES SQUARE. We're now working on another clone . . . to play drums, but we gotta do something about that left foot - or I/he won't be able to work the hi-hat.

Punk only for its Cramps-like power, energy, and fast, frenetic beat, Matthews adds traces of surf, pop, metal, bubblegum, riot grrrl and 60's girl group sweetness to a bouncy, GO-GO's meets SHONEN KNIFE sheen to craft eight potent slices of top-grade, BILLBOARD chartable radio fluff. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 10:29:33 From: Crimson Ghost Subject: Hello, I'm Troy McClure.... you might remember me from such films as "Mark Kennedy, the road to the presidency..." and "The Jerry Only method to hair extensions" Steve said: >I have to agree with whoever posted about an EVillive II. >I've had several boots from this show cross my hands with differnt >songs. If they actually taped the whole show, why can't they just >release the entire thing. Was this tape turned over to Caroline by Glenn >(if it exists)?? Ok once and for all. What you've all been hearing is a *bootleg* Back when this show happened they probably had a 16 track mobile recording unit on sight (if it was done properly) This unit creates the multitrack master tape. This tape is the ONLY source that can be remixed. Obviously the band decided that the 12 songs they picked were the best songs on the tape so these were mixed down to a 2 track master. Note: A 2 Track master! that's just stereo. This is the tape that Caroline now owns. Obviously someone in the studio did a quick mixdown of the multitrack tape and this is where the bootleg is coming from. Neither the band nor the record company bought the multitrack tapes, we can only believe at this point that they've been; lost, damaged, destroyed or similar. Needless to say the bootlegger is not going to come forward with the tape if he has it. Why add grand theft to bootlegging? >> From: Crimson Ghost >> btw: the story of the "teenagers" acetate on a jukebox is obviously false. >> Acetates are test pressings on soft wax backed with steel. 3 or 4 plays and >> it's shot. An Acetate is also the backup should the master tapes be lost or >> damaged. Patricia's (black) Horror Business (now owned by Matt Ball) was on >> the jukebox at the Mudd Club, could this be where the confusion lies? > >I don't think the story is false at all. Jerry has told me the story >several times. He and Glenn and Germain went into New York City and >had 5 acetates made. On the way home, they stopped at Max's and left >one there for the jukebox. Then George took 2 others, Glenn took one, and >Jerry took the other, and they all went home. Sorry Marko - He's bullshitting you. Another obvious stretch of the truth. The jukebox at Max's was one of those old jobs, you know the type with the metal arm that slams the record down on the platter, they also have a real heavy tone arm and needle assembly that prevents the record from skipping if someone bumps it. To put an acetate on this machine would be ludicrous. It's possible however, that they gave the acetate to Peter Crowley (the booking agent) as a gift. Peter Crowley is not a stupid man, he's certainly smart enough to know not to put an acetate on the juke box. Really why bother going through the trouble of opening the box up to put it in, if you have to remove it immediately. Mark you say it yourself... >On the way home, they stopped at Max's and left one there for the jukebox. Left it there! Probably for Peter, left it with a comment like "Hey give this to Peter and tell him to put it on the jukebox." this statement probably followed with laughter if I know Jerry well enough. The Black vinyl copies of Horror Business were the promo copies. These were the copies that were tagged for journalists and jukeboxes et cetera. This is also very fishy because the Misfits reputation at Max's was hanging by a thread, after the fiasco with Tina Peel (the fuzztones) in March of '79. As a matter of fact they were banned. They were still friends with Peter Crowley (bobby is to this day) but Tommy Dean (the owner) hated them and didn't want them booked in the first place. Why would he let Peter put an acetate (an unplayable record) on *his* jukebox if it's by a band that he has banned from his establishment. Bobby you know Peter, why don't you ask him. Denmother Patricia has this to say, Re: Boxset liner notes In the liner notes Eerie says: "Doyle and I were 15 when he did his first show. It was at Irving Plaza, sometimes called Club 57, or the Monster Movie Club." Irving Plaza's address is 57 Irving Place, a hall operated by Tom Scully and Susan Hannaford. This is where the nick "Club 57" came from. The Monster Movie Club was a walkdown storefront on St. Marks Place operated by the same people, who were great fans of trash culture. They had a small bar (probably illegal) set up and they showed movies borrowed from the Bettmann Archives. It was a fun casual place to hang out, but decidedly different from Irving Plaza. Chris Ternes Said: >If you check the WWW page, you will find that >Walk Among Us was intended to be Plan 9-1, I don't know why it changed, I >think Ruby screwed them over or something. According to Jerry, Walk Among Us was never promoted by Ruby(Slash). If we remember back, Fear was on Slash at that time and according to Jerry, Slash was too busy promoting Fear to be bothered with the lowly Misfits.

For the record the Aquarian is a NYC PAF rag, more elite than fuck, if you will. To make it short the aquarian had this to say... "...Punk only for its Cramps-like power, energy, and fast, frenetic beat, Matthews adds traces of surf, pop, metal, bubblegum, riot grrrl and 60's girl group sweetness to a bouncy, GO-GO's meets SHONEN KNIFE sheen to craft eight potent slices of top-grade, BILLBOARD chartable radio fluff..." Well that constitutes a rave review as far as anyone is concerned. Here's where I have the problem. I sent Bobby this message after receiving the above... "...You ain't kiddin bucko - congratulations!! That would definitely constitute a *very* favorable review from Aquarian, those fuckers hate everybody. Let's see what the Voice says.. Make sure you send Christgau a copy!..." to which Bobby replies: "...I don't even waste my time with that schmuck..." Now I'll be the first to admit that Robert Christgau is the most liberal left wing piece of shit in NYC....but, he also *RUNS* the music scene as far as Greenwich Village goes. This man had the balls to praise punk rock back in '77 when everyone else was keeping a respectable distance. Wake the fuck up Bobby, Robert Christgau packs *alot* of weight with the record companies. Remember Lester Bangs is dead, Christgau is all that's left. I hate to bring a personal communique into the fray, but this is a great example of what we've been saying about the Misfits all along. Let's just burn all of our bridges at once, eh? I also don't want to hear any PAF feedback like; "Well maybe Bobby doesn't want to be accepted and become mainstream..." to that I say poo poo. Bobby would cut off one of his 9 remaining toes to gain musical acceptance. Why else would he be sending his CD's to radio stations? My question to you Bobby is why on earth would you burn a bridge like Christgau? A favorable review from him *WOULD* land you with a record deal, or at bare minimum get you *alot* of record sales and an increased turnout at your gigs. Bobby you've said time and again that you're "Tired of struggling...I want my money...it's my turn...etc" Well do something about it. This is your professed field of expertise, what you've decided to do with your life, learn to kiss a little ass or you'll be a starving DIY schmuck for the rest of your life. In reality you don't even have to kiss his ass, all you gotta do is send him a copy of your disc. Not everyone you hate is your enemy, you know. ~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~ Q. How many Misfits Bible members does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

They got their second-generation logo from the logo of the magazine (as in, the style of the lettering is the same). More recently, the Misfits have had Basil Gogos do some artwork for them, who used to do most of the covers for FAMOUS MONSTERS. The magazine does still exist -- but without its father, Forrest J. Ackerman. Ackerman was basically DRIVEN OUT of the publication by publisher Ray Ferry. Without Forry Ackerman, the mag is basically a sellout bullshit ripoff of the original, riding the cash-wagon being pulled by nostalgia for Ackerman's unique editorial style. DON'T BUY IT!! Forrest J. Ackerman gives a terse accounting of events on his own Web page: http://www.best.com/~4forry/ Fuck FAMOUS MONSTERS!!! On other topics -- GREAT NEWS that Columbia House is carrying "Walk Among Us"! Now I can finally get around to getting a copy on CD... and for a penny, yet! (You all know what to do with record clubs, right? Get your initial shipment of CDs, and then mark "REFUSED" on every piece of mail and every package they send you from then on... be it an invoice, a bill, your next month's "Feature CD", whatever. Eventually they will get tired of paying expensive postage in two directions, and they will just stop sending you stuff. Case closed. Techbically you will still be a member of the club, but you won't get any more annoying mail -- and no, I really doubt it will damage your credit rating, but if you're worried use a fake name, dummy! Also, for multiple subscriptions to the same address... send the stuff to someone's house and use made up "apartment numbers". Ahhhh yes... I long for the days when I was broke enough to wanna be a scam artist! Next week: red boxing!!)

I just wanted to say that the conversations about heroin are (besides totally relevant) helping the bible out. There's a lot of Misfits fans out there who want the scoop on what heroin actually does to the human body. It's good that they can easily obtain this useful information in this forum, and I just wanted to thank any and all of you who posted regarding this situation. Not only is heroin and heroin addiction completely relevant to the Misfits, it's a fun topic to sift through! I configured my email program to set off an alarm so I can wake up any time an email comes in with the word "heroin" in it 5 times or more. This way I can make sure I recieve up-to-the-minute information any time mail of such an important nature arrives in my mailbox. I can't begin to tell you what pleasure this topic has given me, and I wonder how I can ever repay all you gracious contributors! So, I will close this with a great "THANK YOU" to all of you who have produced this worthwile information. What would we all do without you! Thanks again!

We have made a few video-video trades, and i traded with him for two Walk Among Us albums and a Danzig promo CD the WAU's were for the specific purpose of getting signed which I did, and the CD I have since traded off. I had no problems dealing with him and i would certainly trade with him again but trust me I wouldn't send him cash actually i wouldn't send anyone cash not over the internet that would just show a huge amount of stupidity. Speaking of trading anyone who would like to trade bootlegs check out my website at: http://members.tripod.com/~degenerated/home.html my videos are for trade only don't offer money or try to sell me anything. One more little anouncement if anyone writes to me with a holier than thou attitute they will be thrown on a list and won't be given future consideration I have only had this problem once with a seemingly prominent video collector Nick Dirt I'm not saying don't trade with him but it was just a bad case that I don't want a repeat of. Thanks degenerated@wwdg.com ------------------------------ Date: 21 MAR 97 12:17:49 EST From: AZawodny@mobile.bam.com Subject: From Hell They Came For all of you with short attention spans, page past my long ass post...... The CG said "hehehe - shit Art, Kelley would do worse than that! she might even cut off your kielbasa! anyway why not take pre-orders via email or whatever just to show interest. That way if you have 300 pre-orders you know to press 250, cause you know 50 people won't come through." Yea, you got that right! I could do that, but email pre-orders don't mean much. Once someone sent me the cash, then I know that they are going to buy it, otherwise, everyone says "yea, i'll get a CD" and then it comes out and the excuses start coming out "my dog ate my money, i spent all my cash on smack, i just lost my job, i got AIDS so I can't hook for money, i'm gay and no one will hire me" etc etc. Your expansion of my apathy comment really bolsters the above. As long as someone is doing something for you, everyone is on the bandwagon, as soon it requires for you to proactively do something, everyone clams up and sits on their ass, and then bitches about how everything sucks. They sure as hell aren't a member of the Blank Generation ... Alot of work is going into making this tape. Its going to be sold at cost, so Keith and I aren't going to be buying BMWs after we sell these. I never heard Violent World, I don't know if its good or bad, but for all the shit everyone on this list threw at it, here is YOUR chance to make a difference. There is no corporate sell-out rock on here to complain about, no big labels, no lawyers, no profit motive, nothing. Its all DIY. All you have to do is record your fave Misfits tunes. And the rest of you, all you have to do is shell our $3 or $4, basically the cost of one those Colon Cloggin Value Meals @ McRetards, and buy this tape which will clock in AT LEAST at 60 minutes if not 90. I have been getting alot of response from bands from all over the world. If you spent $12 on a 30 minute Misfits tribute (granted its a CD), why wouldn't you spend $3 or $4 on a 90 minute one. From what Keith is telling me the artwork is going to kick ass. We are going to put in a bio of all the bands and basically give you every fucking pennies worth. This list is a great thing for the fans of this unique band. Its only as good as we make it. I've "met" people through this list that have proven to be some of the coolest folks around, from all walks of life, united through the love of one band. (I'm going to setup a 900 # so that you can hear messages from all of them. $4.99 the first minute, $3 each minute after. Kids, if your over 18, get you parents permission first .... (thats a joke!!!!). anyway, let me get off my soapbox ..... the CG then continued " even on a cheap soundcard you can go digital to digital. Just look at the manual, there's a jumper on the board that is the digital input. basically it's the aux input bipassing the a/d converter. not difficult if you're willing to fuck with it. Also, I've seen good quality soundcards with both coax and optical digital inputs, I'm sure they are quite pricey though." .From what I have seen, the only card that has S/PDIF output is the Soundblaster AWE32 gold. Reports from SB say that the card does not accept any digital input at this time. S/PDIF (for Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) is the format required for digital audio. It think it has to convert what it normally would see as a .WAV or .AU file into S/PDIF and at this point in time, the only card I know that does that reasonbly priced is the Zerofire ZA2 PC to DAT card. It costs about $400, and I spent all my money at Disneyworld!! I'll ask around on my DAT list about your idea as we have alot of eggheads on there, but as far as I know, it can't be done (easily, that is). Denmom said "we are talking about 2400 calories just in beer alone." in the words of Homer Simpson .... mmmmmmm, beer. Inzo said "I remember when Mike Dirnt of Greenday got beat up at Gilman for signing to Warners." Thats too bad, I'd actually be happy for a band that was finally able to support themselves by playing music. What label a band is on shouldn't have (and doesn't) any bearing of how good of a band they are, period. Patrick Whittle said "THE MISFITS? With Agnostic Front? AND RANCID???" While this gives me a raging hard on, who is going to open for who? then Evil Diefff said "sorry, i took my spring break in jersey" You came up to NJ and you didn't call me? ... :( I'll shut up now ............... remember, submissions for "From Hell The Came" go to either: Art Zawodny po box 210 Pluckemin NJ 07978 OR C\O Keith Noss 61 East Duncan St. Columbus, Oh. 43202 Preferablly sent audio to me, artwork and other info to Keith, but if you must send it all to one place, Keith and I will work it out.

I know I haven't been on this list too long, so what I'm probably doing is sacreligous, but I don't care, I absolutely had to comment on this, it was too rich. Maybe it's not Misfits-oriented, but I'm sure it affects 95% of the people on the list, who are probably between the ages of 14-22. > BINGO - correct me if I'm wrong, but this generation is pathetic. Trish and > I comment on this all the time. These kids are boring as hell, they don't > care about shit. Punk as fuck? I doubt it, this generation wouldn't know > punk if it hit them in the ass. Then again they wouldn't know just about > anything, that's the problem. This really was too much. First of all, Crimson Ghost, the 70s were hardly glory days, but it's easy to sell that to a bunch of kids who were born into the compact disc era. Secondly, anyone who tries to define punk or calls someone "not punk" is just trying to levitate themselves to some sort of elitism, or as the judge who will condemn you back to the alternative music scene for not listening to the proper music. "This generation" may have plenty of idiots, but so has everyone before them, and having met lots of kids who I think are really rad, motivated, and play very aggressive music that kicks the hell out of most of the old punk, I'd tend to say I'm happier today in music then ever before. Of course, that's probably because I'm into hardcore...we aren't judgemental here, and we play better music, and there's no elitism, probably stemming from the fact that good hardcore is all DIY and made by kids and us twentysomethings who care enough to do things without bemoaning the good old days. Of course, we fight alot, and beat the hell out of each other and hate everyone else, but at least you don't have to have been friends with V. Vale twenty years ago or dress in full leather with six-foot mohawks and safety pinned cheeks to hang out with us. The music is what matters, people going out and doing it are what matters, not a bunch of old farts who left punk as soon as it wasn't hip anymore, and are now coming out of their minivans after their children's soccer games to yell at the rest of us for rehashing everything. Just shut up. Elitist fuckers, didn't do anything in the first place. I'm sure Crimson Ghost has some snide remarks for me, but I don't care. "I'm destroying punk!" Actually, if it wasn't for us unmotivated kids who don't know what "punk is" (punk isn't anything! come on...) you wouldn't be able to have a place to piss and moan. If punk meant anything to you, you would've slogged through the intervening years with the rest of us. So please move on with your lives, and stop babbling about 20-year old matters. Now I'm through, I don't want to start a subtopic of "what punk is" or how much the old or new generation sucks, because aren't those just stupid topics!? Kudos to the folks who were there in the first place still helping new folks out and keeping the shit going, and kudos to the new folks for noticing good music and coming out and playing and rocking and living, no matter what the false prophets of 1977 have to say. Thank you, goodnight. Feel free to flame away, as long as it's clever. "Protecting the innocents?..." Misfitry... In my continuing quest to promote bands that sound like something the fields will love but sounds new enough not to be a clone, here's a few more into the mix. The Japanese horrormeisters Balzac put out another EP, which I think is better then their picture disc from last year. The name escapes me, but most US distros picked it up, and it is GREAT! The lyrics are more of the horror type, and taking to the Japanese custom pioneered in their hardcore from the mid-80s, it takes the base sound of the Misfits and throws in a few new twists. Great horror-punk, and I love their clothes...I think Glenn should check his wardrobe, he might have a few shirts missing. The Independents are a band you've probably heard of by now, and even though there's some dangerous ska tendencies, they still rock the house, and I actually heard of them because someone said, "You should hear these guys, some of their songs sound like the Misfits with less distortion and violent lyrics." I figured taking the distortion and violent lyrics away would ruin it, but was pleasently surprised. I guess the bottom-line is I can't describe exactly why I like it, but I like it nonetheless, it's some very fun stuff, even though it has a little ska in it. The fabulous NOP alerted me to the fact Rattus did a vinyl pressing of a cover of "Horror Buisness" on the Brazilian press of Uskonto on Vara. Very cool, thanks for the info, I ordered one (and immeadietly sold my NON- BRAZILIAN [I'll never buy Non-Brazilian again! ;O)] copy, because it seemed dirty and tarnished) and it's actually a really cool cover. I'm glad Rattus are Misfits fans, it only fits. If you haven't heard Rattus, you should check them out, they are one of the best hardcore bands ever. Maybe we can get a Finnish Hardcore Solutes the Misfits tribute soon! I can see it now, Terveet Kadet, Lama, Rattus, Riiystetyt, Kaaos, Uutuus, Amen, Propaganda, Bastards... sounds hip. Better break out the IRCs, it's time for some writing! I know some 'Fits fans like the Candy Snatchers, and as well you should, they're the most intense live rock and roll band I've seen in years. They have a new EP out, and while they don't cover "Where Eagles Dare" it's still cool. At a recent live show, upon request, those funk-meisters Spazz played a cover of "Teenagers From Mars" (right after the cover of "Disco Inferno", which has to be one of the highlights of my life thus far)...and it was total annihilation. I think I recognized maybe one riff from the original song. Just brutality. I'm writing Max Ward telling him to do a 'Fits cover on the next Spazz release, here's hoping! I had the chance to hear the new Times Square CD recently, and I must admit while I like the Undead better, it's a solid CD from a band I recently should be seeing live more often. Bobby, nice 'nuff work! And you blow D-Generation away...they're pretty much corporate rock, while Times Square still has a good heapin' helpin' of punk rock in there. Nice work. Was there a vinyl pressing? Well, I'll admit that was Misfits shoddy, I'm sure someone will tell me about it. Har har. I have to go back to being punk as fuck now. ROARRRRRRR! DIY TIL DIE!!!!!!!! Watch out Jello Biafra, I'm going for your hairpiece.

Of course some of you will have seen this already, but then again it's better than reading the sightings themselves. WE ARE 138 ---------- Based on George Lucas's 1971 science fiction film "THX-1138," this song reflects the anonymity attached to living with a number for a name in a futuristic police state. On July 1, 1996 Bobby Steele emailed the following to the Misfits Bible: "We used to have badges with a picture of a robot with 138 on his forehead. I wonder if Jerry has one, or remembers it... He [Glenn] used to tell us that if someone asked what it meant, we should just laugh, and in a mocking tone say "What? You don't know?" and sound real snobby when you say it. Make them feel like every idiot but YOU knows what it means." Jerry Only told a similar story to a fan after the July 27, 1996 show: "'138' is like people being treated as androids where you have a number instead of a name, so it's like the human number would be a 138... We had buttons made once, they were robots with '138' that looked like half human android kinda things, long before your Terminator or stuff like that." -Tim ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Mar 1997 19:20:11 From: Bill Hanscom Subject: 138 sighting..yippee! A quick post. I was at the Rat, a club in Boston, seeing a show. And when you go in they write the number person you are to enter on you r hand in marker...you can probably guess mine...that's correct it was one hundred and thirty-eight ...horrah! I am relitively new to this list so...are 138 and misfits sightings encouraged, or are they viewed as an annoying waste of space? just curious, because if you think about all the places "138" shows up it really takes away from all these sightings. It doesn't take much to just make one up, in order to just write something for the list. ----------------------------------------------------- Bill Hanscom hanscom@shore.net http://www.shore.net/~hanscom ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: 24 MAR 97 08:00:18 EST From: AZawodny@mobile.bam.com Subject: 138 For those of you who like to get all hot and bothered by this stuff, my inbox for email at work has 138 messages in it right now.

No, Earth Crisis did not play Earth AD. I didn't really care though because I was there to see downset. I was curious about Earth Crisis because I've heard a bit about them. The only other Earth Crisis song I know is 'Firestorm', and when thay played that, there were more audience members on stage than members of Earth Crisis. At this point I could go on about how many kids I saw with the 'X's on their hands smoking cigarettes or about the line of people wearing t-shirts that said "Earth Crisis-Straight Edge", waiting in line at the McDonald's across the street. But I don't want to touch off a straight-edge vs. non-SE debate. I also sat through the entire Star Wars trilogy on Sunday.

However while I am dreaming we could also have a couple other tributes come out, like the all dead tribute (Nirvana, Marty Robbins, Stevie Ray Vaughn etc.) The arena rock tribute (Poison, Warrant, Winger, Motley Crue (with Vince Neil) Queensryche etc.) the all-country tribute (Bonnie Rait, Frank Black, Garth Brooks etc.) and the London Philharmonic plays The Misfits. These would all be very good ideas. Scott. ------------------------------ From: Misfitmole@aol.com Date: Sun, 23 Mar 1997 22:50:19 (EST) Subject: Misfits stuff for sale, The Slags... Hello, If anyone who attended the Misfits' Action Park show last August didn't get a commemorative ticket, I have a few left. About the size of an index card, ticket is printed with blue ink, with skull graphics by Johnathon Grimm, with Misfits logo and complete line-up of bands on front. The back has the Misfits Fiend Club address stamped in red ink. I only have a few of these suckers left, so it's limited to TWO per costumer!! I'm selling 'em for five bucks. Also, I've got an old Proedge rehearsal tape fpr '95 with Jerry, Doyle, and me on drums. It's eleven songs for two bucks (on audio cassette). I mentioned the Slags on here before. They're one of the best punk bands in Jersey. Sadly, they're rumored to be breaking up. I highly recommend that you look in the papers to find out where they're playing, and see them before it's too fucking late! Anyway, that's it for now.

Subject: Amazing, someone shit on the bible... Hello fiends... first thing, i hope some of you guys got to go to the cons this weekend. i heard from some of you on friday and saturday asking for info. also for the fiends in Europe, there will be some record cons coming up next month. though there will be more info in the next couple of weeks. Well i see corruption in the bible is coming along nicely. first flames, hate, and now ripping off other fiends. nice, way to go. ya know i thought i had seen the last of the sucky fiends when Kris disappeared, but i guess i was wrong. there is no reason to rip off anyone in trade or sales. Plus, your rep is dead after that. First on the bible and soon if the rip is not taken care of it leads to being flamed big time on Maximum Rock and Roll and Flipside. That is when any known trader or store will touch you with a ten foot pole. I've seen it happen, where the person ripped is run through the coals and there are 4 - 5 ads taken out in a single issue so that no one misses it when reading the ads in either mag. the guys who really want to toast someone who rips them will hit Goldmine with an ad, then forget ever playing with the big boys.(any store or trader seller who has the bucks for Goldmine ads) Misfits 101... Once again... this goes out to all you just starting to collect and i know i have talked about this before. See its not just me who worries about getting ripped even fiends i know who can make my collection look like a joke have fears of being ripped. I have been very vocal about this subject when it first happened to me back in 1990 and i didn't know abou it till late 1992. As you all know and can read in Misfit 101 in Misfits Central, i was ripped or attempted rip by Dr. Strange. i would have said at first he just made a mistake, but when he took an long time to correct the mistake, then when i asked for my money back he did nothing and refuse to return my calls(if any of you remember his catalog and that he used a po box and had no phone #) that is when i realized he knew full well what he was doing. I hate to say you can't trust anyone but if its someone you have not dealt with for a long time or know very well it is a possible thing to happen. There are situations that are not rips at all, I bought a Beware before i got my original, and it turned out to be a boot. though the record store understood and took it back and gave me something else. So back to the poop, you are just starting to collect and want to trade or buy from people: 1) Ask about this person, you have lots of bible fiends to ask. best bet is hit the fiends in the collectors section to see if they have deal with this person. * And ask Mark* if he does not know them he might know of someone that does. 2) Ask a lot of questions about the item you want to buy. Print up a copy of Misfits 101 off Misfits Central or if its an item not on there, ask someone who has it or knows about it. Always remember there are 1174 fiends to ask here and even a former Misfits member. Someone will have the answer. 3) If the trade sounds unreasonable or the money asked for is high, ask someone. Plus don't solely go by the real low prices i have on Misfits 101, i was lucky a lot of times and finding some of those items that cheap does not always happen. 4) Use the phone when closing the deal, don't be cheap and e-mail everything. It is important to have the persons phone number and one you have called and the person answers. 5) Shipping, well best bet is request the use of UPS, they insure for free up to $100, and the person your dealing with will have to pay on anything after that amount. No records should be shipped with out insurance on them. I have never dealt with anyone who has not done so. Something is not right if the person who is sending out a record or records worth $50+ and does not save his or her own ass by insuring the package. Though i have never been in a deal with any lost mail. 6) If you think your being ripped, talk to a fiend you know can help you or contact the post office, it is called Mail Fraud, and illegal. In short you have to be on your toes all the time and it might sound like a major pain in the ass to collecting Misfits stuff. Though this does not happen all the time and there are some great people to deal with. Also, if you fear this situation i would the safe way is to deal with record stores and use a credit card, at least the credit card company will take on any scams that might happen in that situation. well i do promise to keep you all up to date with conventions each week, plus stores to buy from as they contact me and any extra Misfits, Samhain and Danzig items that come my way.

Let's just >burn all of our bridges at once, eh? To quote Dan Aykroyd . . . Denmom you ignorant slut ; ) If THE MISFITS had used more of my ideas - we would've been big back when we were a real band. It was my idea to contact HURRAH's as soon as I heard a rumor that THE DAMNED were playing there. Glenn wanted to wait until he saw an ad in the VOICE - which woulda been too late. I wanted to send records to college radio stations - they didn't. In fact; the first MISFITS airplay came from a DJ, who had been visiting from Brazil, and was looking for some good NEW stuff to play. I talked him into buying BULLET, and he loved it. When Glenn was putting together the songs for BEWARE - he wanted to take CHILDREN off and replace it with another song. I suggested LAST CARESS. He argued that it was a stupid choice. "I'm sick of hearing that song " were his exact words. I argued; 'you might be sick of it, but I can show you several million people who aren't'. He finally gave in . . . reluctantly. Where would THE MISFITS be if he hadn't taken my advice. I've got a natural feel for this shit. I don't know if I ever told you this, but at the age of 16 I figured out how to manipulate the radio top 40, and succeeded. This was 1972 and I just got a job working the request line at a majot New York radio station. At this time the big act was Donny Osmond, but I liked Alice Cooper. What'd I do ? Whenever some teenie-bopper called in to request Donny's latest song, I gave the credit to SCHOOL's OUT. In no - time, Donny fell off the chart and School's Out rose to #2. Being a major market station, other stations followed suit. It's that easy. I don't give a fuck about Christgau's politics when it comes to record reviews - otherwise I wouldn't send stuff to those fascists at Maximum Rn'R. This is a matter of economics - the most bang for your buck. I've sent other stuff to Christgau. What was the result ? No record labels called me, and no sales were attributed to those mailings. In fact; no review whatsoever. A complete waste. I don't really think he's a schmuck - but it was a fun thing to say. I have no feelings toward the guy - even though I do have a vague recollection of having a run in with him at the MUDD CLUB after hearing that he'd said some very un-cool things about THE MISFITS. I hate MRR. I hate their politics. I hate the way they exploit the ideals of young punks - to their financial gain. Yet; I know if I send a record to them for review it will be reviewed and that one review will be good for about 150 records sold. Immediately! Where would you send that precious promo copy ? To the guy who's not gonna review it, or to the one who's gonna help generate very good sales? In the past, I've succeeded in getting HIT PARADER to review ACT YOUR RAGE . . . and a fairly good one at that. They even mentioned EVE OF DESTRUCTION in their year end 'BEST OF' issue. Trust me. I know what I'm doing. When things pick up, and we have money to burn - I'll send a copy to R.C., until then; he'll have to wait in line with the guys at ROLLING STONE, SPIN and RIP. And for now on; let's keep personal email private. Okay ? If you had brought this up in personal email, you would've seen my point. Or do I have to send Jill down there ; ) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 19:20:32 -0800 From: Inzo Subject: It has been so long, I must say something Okay, Please don't lose this message in all the other posts of theivery.

This is where your argument turns to shit kid. You deduce that good hardcore (an oxymoron) can only be DIY, an obviously ELITIST statement. Whether or not something is good has absolutely nothing to do with the color of the label. Elitism never entered into the picture back in the "good old days." Fans were happy as shit when the Ramones started getting airplay, or when Blondie's contract with Private Stock was bought out by Chrysalis. Kids back then didn't sit and complain that they were picked up by a major (like what happened here with the Misfits/Geffen) kids back then were glad that a band made it. Because people back then weren't elitist. God forbid a band get picked up and get some airplay today, then of a sudden they have shitloads of fans. Horror of horrors someone else besides *you* might understand it, we can't have that can we? Building a treehouse out of music and only letting in people that think, look & act like you is elitism, a text book definition if you ask me. >I'm sure Crimson Ghost has some snide remarks for me, but I don't care. I wouldn't call my comments snide, just brutally honest. >"I'm destroying punk!" Actually, if it wasn't for us unmotivated kids who don't >know what "punk is" (punk isn't anything! come on...) I never said anything of the kind. And your absolutely correct, punk is nothing more than music. Punk means nothing to me, it's not a hairstyle or an attitude, It's music maybe simple and minimalist maybe not. In any case it should be the *music* with the attitude *not* the fans. In any case your post is irrelevant here on the Misfits Bible, why don't you take it to alt.punk where they seem to have this argument going for the last 5 years. If you remember correctly my original comments were directly related to the bible in that we have experienced *alot* of apathy over the years with just about every contest, tee-shirt, etc... that came along. >If punk meant anything to you, you would've slogged through the >intervening years with the rest of us. This is totally false. I (Denmom) 'slogged' thru punk during the worst of times, in addition to the best of times. I 'quit' punk (read: the new stuff) when I started HATING what I was hearing. I probably 'grew out of it', like my parents told me, but I think its more that I didnt like what 'punk' had become. It wasnt fun energetic heartfelt music anymore --to me-- but what Dischord was doing seemed like instant death. Back to the youngster, CG. Why on Earth AD (<---gratuitous Misfits content) would I want to slog through the intervening years when there was really nothing worth listening to? I certainly don't listen to music because it's "aggressive" who cares? Is it listenable? Does it have any musical content? No thanks, I buy music cause I like it, *not* because it's done by poor musicians (<-- I use this term *very* loosely) with a message. I'll stick with funk. ~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~ Famous last words vol. 1 "Thank you very much to the person that threw this glass bottle at my head, you almost killed me...but you missed again kid. try again next week..."

Bill Avery did return my records. I have no way to know whether he ever really had the Misfits "Three Hits" on white that he claims he sent me, but you read Tim Cotters posts... I have been an avid record collector for years, and I would like to give my thoughts on trading, especially on what went wrong with a recent trade (between myself and Bill Avery). I don't think my collection could put Tammy's to shame or anything, but it means a lot to me. Even with several thousand records, getting ripped of on a single one hurts. I know a lot of readers out there may not be collectors, but to me collecting the records is part of the reason I love the Misfits, and 3/4 of the reason I follow the Misfits Bible. And collecting/trading/selling records has allowed me to hear thousands of bands, some of which I worship now (like Misfits, Dwarves, Dayglo Abortions, AFI, Dead Kennedys, etc.) One think I think should be mentioned is what to do if someone accuses you of ripping them off. My own policy is to immediately reimburse them no questions asked. If the package I sent them was insured, I would then file with the post office. If not, it was a chance I took - and I have to pay. If I think the person was bluffing about not receiving my package, then I may choose not to deal with them further. I don't insure every package, but I sure wouldn't send out a package worth over $100 with out paying a measly buck to insure it. If anyone else out there has any other ideas on this subject let me know. >>1) Ask about this person, you have lots of bible fiends to ask. best bet >>is hit the fiends in the collectors section to see if they have deal with >>this person. * And ask Mark* if he does not know them he might know of >>someone that does. This is definitely a good idea. Unfortunately, no one I wrote about Bill knew of him. Some of the best deals I get are from people who don't usually trade, but put up there collection for the first time. Getting bad feedback would certainly make me cancel a deal - but no feedback is neutral. >>2) Ask a lot of questions about the item you want to buy. Print up a copy >>of Misfits 101 off Misfits Central or if its an item not on there, ask >>someone who has it or knows about it. Always remember there are 1174 >>fiends to ask here and even a former Misfits member. Someone will have the >>answer. Good idea again, but everyone has access to every little detail about Misfits records. >>3) If the trade sounds unreasonable or the money asked for is high, ask >>someone. Plus don't solely go by the real low prices i have on Misfits >>101, i was lucky a lot of times and finding some of those items that cheap >>does not always happen Good again, but the good deals are the trades you usually want the most. Anyone can get most any record if they pay five times the going rate. Getting them for half the going rate is the trick. And as Tammy has said, they are out there.. >>4) Use the phone when closing the deal, don't be cheap and e-mail >>everything. It is important to have the persons phone number and one you >>have called and the person answers. This is probably the best. Bill Avery repeatedly insisted that he had no access to a phone. Obviously a lie from someone who sends E-mail every day. I said he could call collect, day or night. He didn't. I buy and sell stuff alot. I have over 500 people on my mailing list. I DO NOT give out my phone number because I just started getting too many calls. My wife was getting pissed. But even I would be willing to talk to someone who I was sealing an important deal with. Plus some people are really interesting to talk to. >>5) Shipping, well best bet is request the use of UPS, they insure for free >>up to $100, and the person your dealing with will have to pay on anything >>after that amount. No records should be shipped with out insurance on >>them. I have never dealt with anyone who has not done so. Something is >>not right if the person who is sending out a record or records worth $50+ >>and does not save his or her own ass by insuring the package. Though i >>have never been in a deal with any lost mail. Absolutely. I made it clear to Bill that I would only make the trade if both packages were insured. He claimed he "forgot" and that mine was lost in the mail. You can't guard against this, but since he signed for the package I sent him at least I had proof mine was sent. Even though you hear a lot of bad stuff about the US Mail, they are EXTREMELY reliable. I have sent out over 1000 packages in the last 10 years, and NOT A SINGLE ONE WAS LOST. >>6) If you think your being ripped, talk to a fiend you know can help you or >>contact the post office, it is called Mail Fraud, and illegal. Definitely follow-up. It's just a form to fill out and the person will be contacted. Even if no action is taken, if several complaints are filed against the same person, the police WILL take action. At least noone would be able to make a career out of it. You might also want to start out with a few small deals with a person to get to know them. Trade a tape or some flyers.

Hope you enjoy. Danzig strays from familiar hard-rock sound Saturday February 8th, 1997 Photo of Danzig and band included with caption naming them. by Michael A. Capozzoli Jr. For the Tribune-Review Glenn Danzig has been able to maintain a career as a hard-rock artist the past 20 years. In the late 1970s, Danzig led his punk-rock group the Misfits. In the mid-1980s, when he fronted Samhain, a less punk-oriented and more heavy-metal outfit, Danzig began to make his mark within the hard-rock genre. When that scene began to fade in the early l990s, Danzig had long since moved onto megaproducer Rick Rubin's American Records label. There Danzig found a relatively safe haven to create music. While other heavy metal artists went into oblivion as far as concert ticket and album sales, Danzig, through new albums and constant touring around the world, was able to maintain a strong global fan base. Yet Danzig's days at American were not always productive for the label's sales department. "At American," Danzig said, "if you don't do the kind of record they want, they're not going to push it. I wanted to leave the label because American is falling apart. There is no leadership there. Anyway, I left and now I'm with Hollywood records." The 40-year-old Danzig's Hollywood debut, "Blackacidevil," is a serious departure from the artist's previous recording ventures. The music on "Blackacidevil" is more technology oriented than any of Danzig's other albums. There's almost no shred of the hard rock/punk/metal sounds that Danzig based his career on. "What's funny is people have heard the music completely ignore the techno element that's in there." Danzig said. "People think we're metal, but we were never accepted by that crowd. I set up my music so that it's for everybody. Those who can tap into it do, and the people that don't, probably shouldn't be listening anyway. I make records that I think are great and anything that comes afterwards is just icing on the cake." One of the more interesting tracks on the album is a cover of the Black Sabbath tune, "Hand of Doom." Danzig has recorded the song differently from the original and he believes his interpretation came across well on the album. "My attitude is that if you're going to do a cover song," he said, "it shouldn't be a cover. I should be making a new song. It should be exciting and it should be new. There should be some reason why you're doing this song and bringing a new element to it.' On the album, he calls it "Hand of Doom : Version." "This way everybody knows I'm not covering it per se. I'm doing my own version of it. The lyrics are different and Jerry Cantrell (from Alice in Chains) came down to play guitar on the three songs and that was one of them.' Danzig has started his own comic book company, Verotik, which publishes such titles as "Venus Domina," "Verotika" and "Igrat." "Two years ago," he said, "I decided to start a comic book company. I wanted the stories to be for adults - mature-themed comics in full color because nobody does them here in North America. America's comic book industry is very infantile and it gets smaller and smaller every year. It implodes. There's no reason for it. Comics are a great medium for pictures and words. We approach it a little differently at my company. We picked out the best writers and artists came out with computer-colored, gorgeous books." ------------------------------ From: WOLFER138@aol.com Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 15:59:25 -0500 (EST) Subject: TAPE IS DONE!!

Hey Bible Fiends In a few words: BUY "4 HITS FROM MARS" ! I've been listening to it all weekend, it's great. These guys could (should) have been on Violent World; that's how good it sounds. Here's my pitifully inadequate review: --"Die, Die my Darling" is easily my fav cut on the album. Tom Undermine sounds like a young Glenn Danzig and says "DIE ! DIE !" like he means it. --Tim Cotter's take on "Horror Business" makes me want to buy my own home studio and record everything myself too. You really can't tell it's just him. --Ripsnorter's (The RipFiTS) "Skulls" sounded good and raw. like a fit's song should. --The Idiot Police's "We are 138" sounds very cool, very angry. Overall I loved every track. It was more like the Misfits than the Misfits. I have to say I was ready NOT to like this album. I was expecting lot's of sincere but awful crooning, so-so musicianship and "blah" interpretations not to mention cheapish production values. This did not come to pass. Never again will I doubt the abilities of the Fiends. This is a cool, professionally made album. It was made for us. Buy it ! Buy it now ! It's 4 dollars for christsakes, how can you go wrong ? If you don't have the money, give an old lady a lapdance or something and you'll make the dough easily enough. And girls, just send me one (1) nude photo of yourself and I'll buy the tribute for you ! Shit, if you're good looking enough I'll hand deliver it to your door ;-) So you see ! There's NO excuse for not buying it. On a side note: Adam West's covers of "Halloween/She" and "Search & Destroy" are great too ! I highly recommend going for their fanclub membership. And as long as I'm recommending stuff. Anyone who hasn't bought The Undead's stuff is missing out on some really great punk tunes. Bobby Steele is one of the best guitarist's I've ever heard and he's also the living proof that New Jersey's only claim to fame isn't just toxic waste and The Misfits. Buy his stuff for the collection potential, or buy it because you'll like it. Hell, even buy it to piss off hardcore 'Fits fanatics, just buy it ! JIM PS: Anyone have a clue if any former or current Misfits have heard "4 Hits from Mars" ? Just curious. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 17:48:55 -0500 (EST) From: asenath Subject: timessquare review, american nightmare gratz on the good review bobby... it was a hell ov a lot better than what was said about the new misfits.... i keep seeing ads for a band called american nightmare playing in philly, does anyone know if they are a misfits tribute band or what? :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: : jess cyphers asenath@sunlink.net : : http://www.sunlink.net/~asenath/welcome.html : :`````````````````````````````````````:''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''': : i stopped having nightmares... : : ...when i became a monster. : : : :`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':': ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Mar 1997 19:27:23 -0800 From: Nortriptyline Braindeath Subject: Tribute Tape AZ, Custom burning CDs through a nice guy on DAT-Heads should be looked into before you dismiss it.

The Misfits and Agnostic Front together...yay. We have the exhumed corpses of two bands, one of which formerly great, the other of which I would have assumed would have gotten better in twelve years, working together at last! What a partnership! Then we'll throw in Rancid, the tuneless commerical and way inferior Op Ivy, and it'll truly be a match made in Warner's new "Punk! The Twelveth Wave" collection heaven. Somebody pinch me, I think I need to wake up. The new split by Welfare and Hillbilly Blitzkrieg came out and I saw it in the store recently...couldn't resist putting it on, after seeing the direct copy of the Legacy of Brutatily cover changed to "Welfare - Legacy of Breutality"...the music was lousy, and couldn't they have at least put a beer in the ghost's hand, or something? Wouldn't normally spotlight it, but it has that cover...the music is horrible...it's best described as hillbillycore, something I had hoped would not come into existence until long after my curtain call. I'm sure there's plenty of manic-depressive goths on this list, but I'm also sure there's some folks who are extremely nihilistic but love the dark and heavy stuff...if you do, I have an album recommendation for you...Georgia's Damad, who wupped us last summer in some shows, have a full length out on Prank, and god it is horrible (and by horrible I mean, dark, nihilistic, scary, powerful...so I really meant amazing, cuz I love it). As Timojhen was saying..."It's like a nervous tick, if you don't hear it, you don't know what you're missing, if you do, you can't stop listening." Prank, my vote for 1996's best label, also released (get this) a new Gauze 7". Gauze, maybe the greatest hardcore band ever, has been criminally unspotlighted due to the rarity of their release and being from Japan, and after sixteen years, finally a legal domestic release. If you don't purchase it, you are keeping yourself in the dark. For any of you into Killed By Death-esque stuff, and who were as mad as the rest of the people with no connections when you couldn't find the Bloodstains Euro and the new Killed By Deaths they reviewed...I'm kinda distributing this stuff from Germany now, knowing the guy who was doing them. I can make tapes too...so far I have Punk Rock From Holland, Pogo Punk From Switzerland, Bloody Belgium, Where Birdmen Flew (old), Bloodstains Across Europe, Bloodstains Across Finland (including two on blue/white swirl; only 50 made), Bloodstains Across the UK, England Belongs to Me, Killed By Death 69 and Killed By Death 77. In the next month Bloodstains Across Sweden and Bloodstains Across Yugoslavia are also coming out. So...talk to me if you're interested in getting a copy of any of the records, or a tape. Very limited quantity...for you traders, I'm looking for the Hardcores vol.1-3 set. For those of you who want the American Killed By Deaths, there are distributors. Also, I finally got the first Child Molestors 7", and the eight Finnish records and $50 I traded for it finally made it all worthwhile. One of the best bands in history, no doubt. Maybe I sound clueless, but what exactly is the deal with all these gold CDs? Would someone mind explaining to me, via private e-mail...first off, if CDs sound as good as they're supposed to, why would you need an improved gold CD? I'll tell you why...they want more of your money. Secondly, anyone have any idea how much these cost to make? And thirdly, why pay $75 for them? Who wants a punk band to sound clean? I need help (well, in many ways, but especially on this topic). Are these legal presses? I'm extremely confused...another marketing phenomenon, I suppose. Fake hair...Mis-fits...yuk-yuk.

Thats all folks Scott ------------------------------ Date: 25 MAR 97 12:38:14 EST From: AZawodny@mobile.bam.com Subject: gramps .... Scott Perry listed some rather amusing cover bands for misfits songs including the following "he all-country tribute (Bonnie Rait, Frank >Black, Garth Brooks etc.) Frank Black was a member of the alternative group the Pixies and I doubt he we be considered part of the country genre, I think you meant Clint Black. Smurf, aka GRamps, comments on punk... "the 70s were hardly glory days," I disagree, almost every groundbreaking punk act that kids today use as their inspiration came from this time frame, whether we are talking about Iggy, Clash, Heartbreakers, Pistols to even the hardcore pioneers like Black Flag, Dead Kennedys and other acts that defined hardcore in the very lates 70s early 80s. then you go on to say "play very aggressive music that kicks the hell out of most of the old punk, I'd tend to say I'm >happier today in music then ever before. As your personal opinion, it really doesnt carry much weight. You like what you like, CG likes what he likes, I like what I like. Personally, I prefer the days where I could see definitive hardcore/punk acts like Circle Jerks, Gang Green and the Adolescents on one bill for $7. You then continue "I'm into hardcore...we aren't judgemental here, and we play better music, and there's no elitism," We play better music but there is no elitism and you aren't judgemental? What kind of contradiction is that! then you say "The music is what matters, people going out and doing it are what matters" Agreed, but when it comes to this list, with close to 1,200 members, you don't see too many people going out and doing anything, its always the same faces, which is why we do think you're all apathetic. and then you go on to conclude "not a bunch of old farts who left punk as soon as it wasn't hip anymore, and are now coming out of their minivans after their children's soccer games to yell at the rest of us for rehashing everything. Just shut up. Elitist fuckers, didn't do anything in the first place." Wow, you said a mouthful there. Us old timers didn't leave punk, it left us, as soon as it mutated to speedmetal, grunge, and alternative. I'm 30 years old, and I watched the punk scene in NJ/NY/PA go from balls out to nothing in a matter of 5 years. Most bands either broke up, went metal, or gave up. People grew up, took responsiblities, got jobs and moved on. Rock and and especially punk is a youth based movement. Its not much fun to go watch someone as old as your dad singing songs about how much it sucks growing up. Theres nothing as pathetic as a 35 or 40 year old fat punk rocker who looks talks and acts like he is 15 years old (no offense to you youngsters out there) and lives with his parents still clinging onto the old "scene". As far as rehashing everything, well no offense but hardcore doesnt leave much room for growth, and I've heard enough NYHC wannabees for one lifetime wishing the were Agnostic Front, Underdog, Kraut or the Cro-mags. and then the closer "And you blow D-Generation away...they're pretty much corporate rock" What? I thought all you hardcore guys aren't elitist or judgemental, yet you just spew the classic punk elitist phrase? Why is that everyone who gets signed by a major of even a large indie (look at all the hatred spewed at Caroline on here) is immediatley "corporate rock". That is so inane. It seems as soon as band gains any sort of success and you lose that intimate "i knew them when" feeling you label people sellouts. I think they kick ass and I see them anytime I can. Enough rambling from me, the whole point of the issue CG made off of my comment directly addresses this list and how it reacts to projects in and around the bible. Fuck, just look at how many people don't even bother to point their broswer to the WWW page that answers every question the Misfits ever. When I first came upon that page, I spent a good 3 hours reading every single thing I could, instead of posting here "aahh, what can someone tell me about the misfits" AZ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Mar 1997 08:14:04 -0500 (EST) From: Stephen Gorny Subject: Re: Evilive II?

One to the idea of calling MTV on a set date to request a Misfits video. The other to Gramps for sticking up for our generation. Also, did anybody watch that PAtty Hearst thing last Friday? I video taped it, and was thinking of making a video for "She" with that footage. It would probably just be for myself though, cause of course if I tried selling something like that, I would lose money. No one would want to pay for a 1 min plus video. Maybe someone who sells concert videos of the Misfits could use this idea. Go right ahead.

Crystar, first came out with issue #1 in May of 1983. what is even more funny is the artist is not refered to as an artist, but a Graphic Designer - John Romita JR. Colorist - Andy Yanchus Penciler - Bret Blevins the skull appears in issue #1 twice, two pages facing each other. but they are in different angles, and it is not till July 1984 that we see the actual skull Glenn borrowed. plus we now have a new penciler - Ricardo Villamonte. and minus the graphic artitst that was listed earlier. the skull does not appear inside the issue though there are other demons with skulls and a few similar but not what becomes the Samhain and Danzig skull. if you look around for the comics you will probably find them. plus the price will be pretty cheap. well as i said i do have to cut it short.

Would >someone mind explaining to me, via private e-mail...first off, if CDs >they're supposed to, why would you need an improved gold CD? I'll tell you >want more of your money. Secondly, anyone have any idea how much these >thirdly, why pay $75 for them? Who wants a punk band to sound clean? I >in many ways, but especially on this topic). Are these legal presses? I'm >confused...another marketing phenomenon, I suppose. The gold Earth AD CD is not to be confused with the Gold CDs you see put out as reissues by Mobile Fidelity Labs, DCC and other reissue lables. Your regular CD is pressed on an aluminum alloy disc. Thats what contains all the pits that indicate a 1 or a 0 that your D/A converter turns into music. If exposed to air, this alloy layer can oxidize and your disc can be ruined. The gold discs are not prone to this. Regardless of what audiophiles will tell you, it should not affect the sound one bit. The Caroline gold CD release may be the same type of material as the above companies use, however, MoFI and those labels charged $30 for a CD ( they are usually remastered and sound alot better than the shitty commercial releases) whereas the original 10,000 Earth Ad gold Cds sold for the regular $12 to $15. They are selling for $75 now because they are a limited edition and people collect them. I auctioned mine off and got only $35, so I wouldn't say $75 is the going rate. These discs have been long out of print and the current version of Earth AD is on the regular silver looking disc. It is also a Caroline only release, with no Plan 9 anywhere.. Justin, I will of course keep the DAT master of the tape around and will solicit and people on DAT Heads to see if they can burn CDs for me. The one guy on here charges $15 each and thats a little steep for me as I don't think anyone on this list is going to want to pay $17 or so for a home made disk (the $2 diff is for postage and artwork costs). Blank CDs cost about $5 to $6 each mailorder. I can probably have someone make these up for $10 each. I will keep the list posted of the availability of CDs/ If you want "FROM HELL THEY CAME" on CD and not cassette, please email me and let me know. If i get enough interest (the cost will be around $11 or $12 probably) I can go that route and pack on 74 minutes of tunes. Don't make me waste my time.... Keith, I'll keep you posted on this CD thing, if enough people want them we may need to come up with a jewel case insert with artwork and stuff. We'll see what happens.

Although I'm going to defend traders in general--I want to interject, to the person that has had problems with Horror Kid, you're not alone. I haven't sent him any money, but have been waiting for a trade confirmation (and tape) for a couple of months. I know many people have had good and bad experiences trying to trade for or aquire all the different mediums that Misfit's material appears on. I have dealt with many of you over the past year, and hope it has been a pretty painless and fruitful experience. First, sometimes it takes awhile for someone copying tapes to actually get them out (most of us have real jobs, and responsibilities that may delay copies). And the majority of us are honest, and if something unexpected happens (lost or damaged mail), we will take your word for it and try to work something out. Also the safeguards some of you mentioned--make alot of sense. Don't send money to someone on a whim--ask questions if you have any hesitancies. If the person has an email address, but says that they don't have access to a phone--I'd be worried. And look at the collector's section on the WWW page--Mark probably wouldn't promote someone if he had questions about that individual's integrity. And lets face it--sometimes we get burned, and if you do get burned let the rest of us know so we don't make the same mistake.

There is a full-length promo that doesn't come with a cover, but there are also other promos (with only a few songs) that have different covers than the actual release. mark ------------------------------ From: David Marek Subject: Beware Prices Date: Thu, 27 Mar 1997 09:44:23 -0600 I've often wondered what makes the Beware 12" so valuable...It is worth more than say a Night of the Living Dead 7" although there were only 2000 NOTLD 7"s pressed as compared to the 15000 Beware 12"s, plus was released later. So what makes this release escalate in value as compared to the other releases? Is it the fact that it is the only release of Last Caress? Can one song push the value this high? Also, please get a copy of the 4 Hits 7" from Jake. It is a great record, plus Jake is a cool guy. He was willing to work something out with me when my records were not getting delivered. None the less, they did arrive finally, but he was willing to work with me.

John Romita Jr. is one of the "lifers" at Marvel, along with his dad (who only recently retired). It wouldn't surprise me if he really did do graphic design on the issue... remember this is a big ol' commercial packaged product with a toy tie-in, it wasn't just a comic book. The people who made the toys probably contacted Marvel to design the characters and that's what John Romita Jr. did. But Brett Blevins is credited with pencils, so he drew the issue. Out of curiosity, who inked it? I don't know who Ricardo Villamonte is (penciler on July 1984 issue). That guy must have had a short career. There's a good chance someone else drew the cover if the interior art was done by a no-name. Check around that cover for a signature! It could still be Brett Blevins. (Incidentally, if you're wondering what this has to do with anything, we're trying to figure out exactly who designed the Danzig skull, which appeared in CRYSTAR comics in the early 80's.) NEIL ------------------------------ From: "PSYCO78" Date: Thu, 27 Mar 1997 14:36:00 GMT-4 Subject: Re: Misfits Bible #314 I have this book that reviews horror movies and in it I noticed a film called "American Nightmare". It's a Canadian flick starring Michael Ironside as a cop chasing a serial killer that is on the run? I don't remember for sure, but I think the movie was made in 1980. Im not sure when American Nightmare (the song) was recorded (I was going to check the web page but the net is all screwed up here at the university), but does anyone know if Glenn based it on this movie? I doubt it becasue it is in no way a classic or a cheese fest, but a movie about a serial killer on the run called American Nightmare? Ya never know. Also, as kind of sighting. If anyone is watching Raw is War in the last few weeks, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler continualy refer to the guys from ECW as "Misfits" and when they did a promo for the Movie "Major Leauge", Jim Ross described the players as misfits! Coincidence? I DONT THINK SO! A clear link between pro wrestling and the Misfits has already been established (Jimmy Hart wearing the CG on his jacket, also, a tag team named the Misfts was around in the independents for a while) so dont think Im exagerating! Two of the coolest things in the world together! Now if we could just get Angie Everhart into the whole thing somehow. Then I could die. Oh yeah, Im only kidding you retard so dont freak.

Paul, thank you, though you have had an amazing collection at least the last 5 years that i have known of. also you are right, even as many records that i have in my collection and all the people i have dealt with in the past 13 - 14 of serious collecting years. getting ripped hurts, i trusted Dr. Strange and he never inteneded to clear up the situation. plus to refuse to return my calls made things even worse. Also, if it was not for a close trading buddy of mine, i would have never found out Dr. Strange real name and phone number. Tons of people ordered from this guy and his catalog, who knows how many people got ripped off and never knew. so, yes i did trust him and cause if i sent him a check for what i ordered i got it with no problems. so placing a bid and sending $70 for a Who Killed Marilyn seemed like not a problem. Though it did turn out to be a problem and the piece was a bootleg 7". where are we going with this and is this a post to just run right by? Read this and what Paul had to say. See we are just trying to save new fiends and collectors from the horrors we have seen. and to say well it only happens to the unexperienced is a crock of shit. Paul i can give reference on for at least the past 5 years that he took ads out in MRR and Flipside like i did. he would be the last person i would think would get ripped. I hear all the time from fiends who have been doing this for years and fear the possibility of being ripped. no one wants to deal with it. well i do hope this helps everyone. also if you need any other info just drop a line, i should have more info on the cons this weekend. cause GM updates each issue. good luck at the cons. everyone have a great weekend.

I'm sure some of you have noticed that the Bible has been having some problems lately. I'm not sure what's going on, but it appears that subscribers after about #900 are not receiving issues, or at least not since number 310 or 311. I have so far confirmed this with a few of you (Gramps, Dominic, Tim, Pontus, etc) and I'm not sure what's going on. I have now split the subscription list in two; half is being sent from the regular address msk4m@watt.seas.virginia.edu and the other half is being sent from fiend@zombie.plan-9.com Hopefully this problem will go away soon. Other things - I too have dealt with Horrorkid and I received my video from him quite promptly the first time. However, it is certainly the case that Mike Inzo hasn't gotten his stuff yet, and hopefully this will be worked out soon. It also appears that everyone who was "ripped off" by Bill Avery has received something by now - either their records returned, or the records they purchased. I assume/hope this is true in all cases. I had the chance to spend a day with Moritz Gottwald of Germany this week. He is visiting the US and stopped by to visit EVB and then came down to spend the day with me. Mor had one of the largest collections and has been selling off a lot of it in the past 6 months. In fact, the money from his collection has funded his entire 7 and a half month trip. He still has a lot of stuff left, and hopefully we'll have a list up in a few months. New Misfits album - still called American Psycho and still scheduled for May 13th. I know the promo advance copies went out last week, and although I have not received mine yet, I did get a copy of 15 of the songs from Rocky Caiafa. Interestingly enough, the song order appears to be completely different from the promo and neither the promo copies nor the copy I have all the songs. I must admit that even I had my doubts aobut this album, but I can honestly say that it's great. Some people won't like it, some will PURPOSELY not like it, and some won't bother with it. It really is amazing how much they've progressed as a band, and yet how it sounds Misfits-esque in many ways. There are some really great songs on this album and all the songs are about 2 minutes each. As Jerry promised, there are no lead guitar solos at all. Michale ranges from screaming, to speaking, to the standard Misfits woah-woah-oh, to a gothic voice, to whatever is necessary for the song. This album sort of picks up where EARTH AD and WALK AMONG US left off. Listen to it 3 times before judging. Seriously. There is a lot of energy in this album, and there are some interesting effects to it. There are some nice reminders of the past, like the "GO!" from "Queen Wasp" appearing in "American Psycho" and of course the woah-woah-oh that makes WALK AMONG US what it is and EARTH AD's guitar feedback. Almost every song has the horror movie lyrical content of standard Misfits songs. The guitar is a little heavier than usual - sort of a cross between the EARTH AD stuff and the way the Misfits play live now. I just wish there was more emphasis on the bass. Instrumentally, Jerry's bass was always the big backbone to the music; I haven't been able to detect it a whole lot on this album. My tape has the following songs: Blacklight * From Hell They Came * Walk Among Us * The Haunting Dig Up Her Bones * Speak Of The Devil * American Psycho This Island Earth * Crimson Ghost * Don't Open 'Till Doomsday Dead Kings Rise * Resurrection * Shining * Hellnight * Mars Attacks My favorite songs so far are "Shining" and "Hellnight." The order of the actual album (MAY 13th) should be quite different. I think that's all. Mark ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 12:38:52 PST Subject: Re:hum . . .

You gotta remember; I did everything myself. I produced the records, handled all the marketing, distribution and sales as well as bookings, radio and tour promotion. I never had a real budget to work with - yet I was able to sell 6,000 Act Your Rage LP's in two-weeks . . . at a time when punk was not even hip. Add to that; airplay on over 400 college radio stations - with over 100 in the top ten, including being in the top 5 of 3 commercial radio stations. That's all gotta say something for my ability. What I lack is the money and additional manpower necessary to bring this over the top. Every time I got THE UNDEAD to a position where things were really starting to happen - the other members would get weak kneed and leave. That kills the momentum, and I have to start over again. People have left for some pretty stupid reasons - like one guy who said THE UNDEAD was interfering with his partying. Then there was that guy who left to join SAMHAIN ; ) That was the only rational excuse. > is there even an undead now? I decided I'm not gonna do it if I can't do it the way I really wanted to all along, so I'm looking. I've finally found a local drummer - who seems perfect . . . a female equivalent to Biscuits who can also sing well. She grew up on THE UNDEAD, and I like the way she plays. As soon as I'm fully recovered from my bronchitis (hopefully next week) we're gonna get together and give it a try. If it works out - I have about 10 bassists waiting to audition. > i like the undead a lot and you seem like a nice guy but it seems >you'd really have something to show for it if your ideas were really >that great. It takes a lot more than you could imagine. I'm not too popular with the 'powers that be' in this business. You could have ten-million fans, but if certain people don't want to see you succeed - they can do a pretty good job of fucking you up. anyway...i'd like to hear corpus delecti do a samhain tune... If you ever get a chance, see CHYNA. They do a great version of ARCHANGEL, which sounds more like the original version from the first mix off INITIUM - which was never used and had more power. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 21:09:53 PST Subject: UNDEAD RECORDS From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) For anyone who's interested; I was at Sound Exchange, in Wayne, NJ the other day and they had a copy of the INVISIBLE MAN 45 for $5.00. They also had an EVENING OF DESIRE 12" and ACT YOUR RAGE. VINTAGE VINYL, in Fords, NJ has a few copies of the LIVE SLAYER LP for 9 dollars - That's cheaper than our price. The TIMES SQUARE CD has been added to most of the college radio stations in the NYC, NJ area. So far, WNYU, WFDU, WFMU, WSVA are playing it. WSOU has it, but it's only getting payed on a specialty show. If you live in the listening area of any of these stations, call and request it. If you need the phone number - contact me and I'll get them for you. Stores that are carrying the CD, so far, are; In NYC - BLEEKER BOB / GENERATION / LETHAL WEAR. In New Jersey; MUSIC MAN / and CHEAP THRILLS. Most other stores will be placing orders next week - so I'll give you an update as things progress. We're trying to book a 10 day tour, that'll bring us through Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and maybe Louisville and Chicago. I'd really like to play where we can get the best response, but we also have to consider economics. Let me know if there are any particularly good or bad clubs in these towns - so I can tell our manager. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 09:49:48 -0500 From: Crimson Ghost Subject: Elitism (this post is *not* necessarily aimed at gramps, we are still miles apart on this but are arguing via email) I'd like to quote Glenn Danzig (Rip 9/94) "...There are alot of people who feel that when a band gets popular, it's not their band anymore all of a sudden. It's a very childish infantile attitude. Whereas if you really like the band doesn't matter whether they're being played or not. Alot of these people want to keep it an underground music. Which isn't fair to the artists at all..." - GD 1994 For the record this is the most intelligent statement that ever came out of Glenn's mouth and I commend him for it. Some people like to throw terms like 'elitist' around and place blame where they feel it belongs. Too bad they have no idea what the term means. Elite - The group, or part of the group regarded as the best, most powerful, etc. Elitism - Control by the elite. Who deems these kids to be elite? Themselves. I take offense to anyone who says the band they listen to is better than the band I listen to. That's personal opinion. What really pisses me off is when people say that the bands I like suck because of the label they are on. Kids today spew dogma like it's going out of style. It's dogma that the original punk movement was fighting against, whether it be political, religious or musical. Not liking a band for anything other than not liking the music is absurd. You don't like people telling you to believe in God or you're gonna go to Hell, right? Of course not, that's religious dogma. Why on Earth would you listen to someone when they say don't listen to them because they are trendy, or they are on Lookout, etc.. I would say that's about as dogmatic as the jesus freaks. I'd like to quote a conversation Denmom and I had with my neighbor's son, Daniel. Denmom and I have a cooler with a rather large Misfits sticker on top, Daniel sees the sticker and says "cool the Misfits" (this is a 12 y.o.) He's never heard them before, probably saw the add for merchandise in Thrasher. So Denmom and I promptly give him a copy of WAU to listen to. We ask him what he likes to listen to and he says: "Well I used to like 311, but they got popular so they're not cool anymore." This is a sad state of affairs indeed. A child not listening to music that he likes because it's not acceptable to his group of friends. Fuck you Maximum Rock & Roll, and all the myths you perpetuate. ~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~ Famous last words vol. 2 "Roger, Houston - going with throttle up 104%...Oh Shit." - Commander Dick Scobee - STS-25 (Challenger) The Crimson Ghost - othello@magicnet.net Denmom (Patricia) - desdmona@magicnet.net http://www.magicnet.net/~desdmona -=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 19:51:16 -0800 From: Inzo Subject: Horror Kid. > Date: Wed, 26 Mar 1997 21:18:40 -0700 > From: the HORRORKID > Subject: a text book case of slander!! > >Inzo > >Subject: It has been so long, I must say something > >Okay, Please don't lose this message in all the other posts of theivery. > > > >I was ripped off by Horror Kid a.k.a Wayne Morris. > > I told this person the last time I spoke with him that I if he had not > received the package in x amount of days to email and we could work out > a solution. > > Just wanted to clear things up.... > HK THAT IS NOT TRUE I email you and email you and about once a month I get a response.

Concerning #8, I remember thinking that the cover artist is different than the interior artist (Ricardo something, as Tammy said two issues ago). I can't recognize the signature on the cover (there IS one though) although if I have some time I'm sure I could look through my comics and find 100 other things Bret Blevins has drawn. Then I could see if the signatures match. I would credit Blevins with the design though; that Ricardo guy who did the interior of #8 doesn't seem to be the artist of the cover of #8, and if the orginal desing came from Blevins (in #1) anyway... I also doubt that it is Romita Jr., because the cover of #8 doesn't look like the style he drew back then (which, incidentally, is far better than his current style). Also, if the cover date of the comic (#8) says July 1984, then it probbaly actually hit the stands in March or April of that year -- so Glenn would have plenty of time to stick it on Initium. -Brett ------------------------------ From: Undead138@aol.com Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 16:16:17 -0500 (EST) Subject: This would be a cool Misfits tribute CD This would be a cool Misfits tribute CD...........

If you're expecting to hear something like Legacy of Brutality or Static Age please think again. As usual, the songs are very short. However, most of the songs' riffs sound similar to older Misfits songs. The sound quality is incredible. Everything is perfect sounding and the guitars, vocals, and backing vocals are on time perectly. You can tell the album is perfectly produced, mixed, and engineered. As for Michael's voice, I think it fucking rocks!! He has a real good voice and is capable of hitting some very hard to reach high notes. Even though, all the producing may make it not sound like the Misfits of old, the album still fucking rules!!! I heard it twice and fell in love with it. I am also amazed with the progression Doyle has made on guitar. If you recall, Doyle wasn't much of a guitar player back in 83' but now he's tight as hell and he's plays some killer riffs. I think this is a great album and it deserves the credit it deserves. You can't compare this to any other Misfits album because it sounds like no other. It's a lot more agressive than most of the previous Misfits releases. They combine songs like those of Earth AD and songs like Astro Zombies. I suggest that all Misfits fans listen to this with an open ear and respect the work they put into it. Overall, I think this album fucking rocks!!!!!!!!

And one of his new comic characters was named Danzig. Somehow Glenn got word of this, and he went over to his table, to discuss this name problem. And it developed into a yelling match, like this. "Change the Name of the character, or I'll sue your ass!" "No, you don't have rights to the name of a city!"

These people deserve the ridicule, and a hell of a lot more than that. what is the point to rip someone off, if you want to ever trade or sell again. Look at the recent situation, do you think that any fiend on the bible will ever buy or trade with Bill now? When i got my Rosemary's Babies 7" from Eerie, i could have ripped him off, he sent me the 7" after he got back from a tour and he was trusting that i would send him money like we had agreed. Plus, he was trusting someone he met for the first time. but i would never rip anyone off, and especially someone who made an effort to send me a record after a month or so on the road. shit you should see an issue of MRR during the time everyone was running after the Misfits and Samhain. there were so many ads about people who had ripped off other people. who not to buy from, and if you know where this person is. People looked out for others then and we as fiends should look out for each other now. Neil, the issue with the skull on the cover does not have a signature, though issue #1 has one. Bob Larkin. i have a feeling that is why Glenn took the skull in the first place since there was no artist who took claim to the design. though what would be funny is, if there is truth in Glenn going to Marvel comics (during his days in the Misfits) to show them his art. that maybe it was ripped off from him. though it does not look a lot like the style he shows on the back of the numbered Evilive 7". the only answer is someone ask Glenn. issue #1 inker was Vinnie Cilletta issue #8 inker was Dave Simons. though i would like to know what the skull looks like with out the girl infront of it. it looks as if she is covering up something in the center between the two small horns. well still no new leads to vinyl at this point, though i'll post it when i see it.

Well it looks like CDs may become a reality. I have found someone who will burn them for me for $10 each, which means I can afford to sell them for around $12. The only problem we may run into is if there are more songs on the tape than on the disc as the CD only holds 74 minutes where as the tape may run up to 90. I emailed Keith about inserts and am awaiting a response. For $12 I'd like to give you more than a CD with just music on it I have received 2 submissions so far, Alcholohaust and Nightbreed. Both do some kick ass tunes and I was mightly impressed with Alchoholhausts intro to I Turned Into a Martian, very clever!!

CG, While I understand what you're saying, and agree with you for the most part, there are definitely merits in the other side's arguments. Sure, we want our favorite bands to succeed, and to become filthy rich -- that way they can have more artistic freedom, their CD's are easier to get, and we can turn on the radio and hear them along with everything else. Those are just some of the reasons why success is great for fans. But, alas, there is a downside to that success that is undeniable. The fans who took the time and the initiative go off the beaten path and find these unknown groups soon find that they are lumped into the same concert-audience with thousands of screaming, angry jocks, and "cool people" who may or may not like the music, but who are there because the band is, at the time, trendy. Moreover, you get all the glittery insincerity that comes along with popularity, too, i.e., Downtown Julie Brown screaming, "I've been a fan of you guys for _so_ long!" when everyone knows its a lie. You get musician egos that grow large and spin out of control. I remember being made fun of about ten years ago. I was a "burn out," or a "stoner," because of how I looked, and the bands I listened to. Nowdays, I'll see those same "cool" people who made fun of me, who were listening to UB-40 or Van Halen or whatever, at the same shows as me. And I know their shallowness, their idiocy, and their herd-mentality is still present. They just became "alternative" when they saw it on MTV, and thought everyone cool was doing it. They surf the wave of popularity, going from one trend to another. And I don't think you should have such a negative reaction when longtime fans of bands are disappointed about being confronted with screaming hordes of know-nothings at their favorite shows. Yes, the free market is a miraculous thing, and yes, I wouldn't have the system any other way (except in an even _more_ free-market direction); but we also have to be honest and acknowledge that there are a lot of shitty things that happen, and serious fans who get penalized, when a previously unknown band makes it big. It's totally selfish of the fans to want the bands to themselves, but that's okay -- it's because they love the music, and don't want to see it cheapened by some "trend." It's stupid to altruistically cast pearls before swine. And all talk about the evils of elitism aside, there is nothing wrong with a little elitism. Egalitarianism is leftist drivel, and little more. Some people are just better than others, and I wish more people had the balls to say so.

They artist of the cover in question was(is) Michale Golden.. a great artist from the eighties he did covers for many books back in the day including the Micronauts ,Rom even the occasionaly GIJoe book. He never signed his name but rather had a strange symbol he used in a sort of circle design which was often difficult to find on his work. Hope this sheds some light on the subject..

I am not in favor of getting fucked for $18 for a dubbed copy. The real cost should be about $6-7, postage included. I think it is absolute horseshit to drop $10+ into someone's pocket for the "privilege" of seeing a promo for a band opening for the Misfits in addition to their show. I was under the impression that the bible was a place to SHARE footage that is, by its very nature, bootleg. It sucks that someone with a prime piece of footage would ask me to grab my ankles and smile. $18 is fucking ridiculous for a dubbed VHS tape. If someone can provide a valid explanation as to why $18 is reasonable, please let me know. If anyone can provide a copy at a more reasonable price, my addy is below.

Ummmm.....It's fucking great, I got it on saturday and the only time I took it out of my tape player is when I was going out, then I put it in my car radio. They definatley kept it in Misfits tradition but they also did some of their own style. It's weird hearing it though, I mean you can actually hear everything, including the drums, for example, listen to children in heat, you can hear the drums but you cant exactly make out what Joey is doing, AMERICAN PSYCHO was put through much production and mixing time. It is a great album and I hope it goes over well with all of you, the only one I talked to about this so far is our savior, Mark, and we both dig it. My personal favorite is a song called Resurrection, but I'm still missing Dead Kings Rise and Hellnight. Just a warning to all you "Punks," I still don't think that even the old Misfits stuff sounds punk(I guess thats just my opinion) but especially not this album, so if you're looking for an album to scream "Oi! Oi!" to while breaking your moms coffe table, dont bother buying this album. If you like that original "Go!!!......Go!!!!! Whoa!!.....Oh!!!....Whoa!!!....Whoa!!" Misfits tradition get this album. Also If you want some new guitar stuff for this album I already started it and gave it to Mark, hopefully it will all be done before the album is even released. The Noss and AZ----I am sending the Hunger out soon so hold a spot for me. I'll be going under SINister. Thanks. SINcerely, J-SIN ........Damn you father, for I have SINned check out the ANGELSIN web page..... http://members.aol.com/Angelsn/angelsin.html if you have a problem finding it just go to Marks page and got 'Bible Bands' in the Misfits Bible section and click on ANGELSIN. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Apr 1997 14:15:40 -0500 (EST) From: Daniel Rodrigues Subject: D-R(esurection)od hello fiends, Sorry for my absence but I am back in full force now. some quick comments on the last issue: To Bobby Steele: You mentioned that you did everything yourself, you forgot to pat your self on the back one more time and note that at that particular time act your rage was the largest selling independently released and distributed record of all time!!! I cant wait for you to get the undead in full effect again, I am sad to say that I have to go to summer school and will not be able to play some bass for you!!! BUt I am going to get back up to NYC and we'll get together. To CG: Good post brother! I am sick of people talking about who sells out for what! And wanting all their fav bands to stay underground. I know that allot of people get on Rollins for just about being evrywhere, and doing anything. But the way I am is that I route for my fav bands I want them to get air play I want them to be on MTV, I think that everyone should come to their senses and love exactly the same bands I do! I dont care if they sell out by going on mTV or making a video I just care about the person and the music. If the misfits became a bunch of snotty ass holes I would be crushed, and if the catored their music to fit some sort of genre that has supposedly come back that would suck. To Cherly M. Walley: There is the bootleg "return of the fly" that has rise above from the last ever fits show, they also used to cover I got a right by Iggy and the stooges, cant tell no one by negative, blue x-mas, approach and of course you do know that rattfink is a cover song? There are some more but they are listed in the discograohy section of the page. Isnt there a version of them doing Louie louie some where mark? SO i am back now and I am sure that some of you newer fiends to the list dont know but I am that gorgeus guy in all those pictures. I was wondering since the email to the fiend club is down does any one still talk to the band much at all. I used to talk to michale allot but I havent recently.

You not not have to be rich to have a decent Misfits record collection. (It does help though) For example, today I bought a Flipside Vinyl Fanzine, Vol. 2 w/ Insert, and first press Die, Die My Darling, and a German Wolfsblood all for $25. They are all NM. Beleive it or not, not everyone knows the value of these records, so keep your eyes open for the good deals- they are out there. Help Anyone!!!! I am doing everything possible to get my hands on the advance promo for the new Misfits record but haven't had any success finding one yet. Tammy or EVB, if you see this please let me know if you see anything even though I am probably looking for it at all the same places you are. Oh yeah, if anyone would like o get rich fast, just sell me your copy of the Wolfs Blood/Earth A.D. + Evilive CD (Modern Music). Depending on the condition I will pay $75 bucks for this bad boy.

The Misfits are my favorite band of all kind. My whole record collection was fucking lame after I "discovered" the Misfits 2 years ago (I'm 15 right now.) Anyways at my high school there are a lot fucking losers. You know the type jock/macho that blares rap. I don't mess with them until they start calling me "Hey! little punk rock faggot", or "Who the fuck the Misfits, are they gay, ha, ha", now if I wasn't a freshman I boot them in the skull but right I just tell them to fuck off. I hope this new Misfits album won't be a huge sucess so I can keep my favorite band and still be punk rebel at my school. Right now I am the one and only Misfit fiend but recently this little 12 year old asked if the Misfits were a goddamn oldies band, what the hell? I liked the misfits before the resurrection, but lately I kinda sorry it happened. I hope the Misfits don't break up in 2 or 3 years like so many other semi-punk or punk bands after being on major label. Look of my list of these bands, even though they aren't as good as the 'Fits: 1. Twisted Sister: around for 10 years prior; then broke after 3 years 2. Nirvana: we all know what happened 3. Blondie: broke up 2 years after being on a major label 4. Clash: same as blondie 5. Metallica: still together but totally sucks now 6. Sex Pistols: broke 1 year after signing 7. Green Day: always sucked, but now sucks even worse 8. Offspring: see green day 9. Rancid: cool before Lars, now sucks Do you want the Misfits to turn out like this, I don't. I fucking hoping this album doesn't make the Misfits another lame shock rock group. I think they should stay where all punk should be: D.I.Y. Thanks for reading sorry for the long post!!!!

Bobby: What's all this about an alternate version of "Archangel" ?? Any others you know of? CG: Glenn has said many intelligent things, however, the MOST intelligent is not the quotation you gave last issue; such comment can actually be found in the current issue of A.P., (Alternative Press; has Helmet on the cover), in which Glenn is interviewed along with electronic-music artist Moby. In that issue, Moby mentions Metallica's cover of "Last Caress" at the MTV European Music Awards. Glenn's reply (verbatim): "It was terrible; I saw it." Tammy: There IS a signature on Crystar #8; look in the botton right-hand corner and you'll find a circular shape with a sort of "V" and a dot in it. It looks like Pacman or something. The people at Wizard -- The Guide to Comics often answer obscure questions, so they might be able to identify the signature. Regardless, I seriously doubt that Marvel got the design from Glenn. Then again, he would have to be pretty brave to make so many albums and t-shirts using a drawing copyrighted by a multi-million dollar company that almost completely dominates its entire industry. -Brett ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 1997 11:15:42 -0330 (NST) From: "Neil T.

Many people on the Bible from the D.C./MD/VA area are familiar with "Reptilian Records" in Fells Point, Balt. MD. Well the owner Chris X, told me a good story about Glenn Danzig. Here goes. About 4 years ago, Danzig was playing a show at Michales 8th ave. in Glen Burnie MD. Prior to the show that day, Glenn and one of Glenn's body guards, walked into Reptilian, looked around a little bit. Chris said, "aren't you Glenn Danzig", but Glenn just glared at him. Then Chris said that Glenn threatened him, because he was selling bootleg's. Chris told him he only sells them, because kids really want to buy them, and that he doesn't try to rip them off, or pass them off as originals. Glenn asked him, what time the store closes, and then told Chris that he'd be back, to kick his ass, and rip all the bootleg's off of the wall. Chris told me he waited around for 2 hours after the store closed, but Glenn never came back. I died laughing when he told me this story, after all I've heard and witnessed about Glenn, makes me believe he's a real ass. I have only met Glenn once, for a period of about 30 seconds. It was at the above mentioned show, I was out back by the bus when the show ended. I met all the guys from Prong, they were real cool. Then John Christ came out, a friend of mine, ran right over to him, and explained how he was John's mother's next door neighbor, from Catonsville, and showed John his address, off of his drivers license. John laughed, and said something like, "tell ma' I said hi". Then Glenn came out, I was in awe, I ran over to him, and before I could get a word out, he began playing 20 questions about the white chrimson ghost Misfits t-shirt (cover of collection II) I was wearing "is that a bootleg?", etc. In my opinion Glenn has no idea of how fans want to be treated. Fans don't care if a t-shirt is bootleg or not, especially not a then 16 year old kid. Also Anyone from Balt./D.C. who wants to see the Independents, they are playing at "Memory Lane"(Balt.) on Tues. April 8th, with the teddy-o boys. The Independents, are a ska band that cover Misfits songs, they are really good. They have a new album coming out soon, produced by Joey Ramone. I'll be there proudly wearing a Misfits t-shirt, feel free to come up and say hi. I'm also wondering if anyone else from the D.C/Balt. area is contributing to "From Hell They Came", my band Alcoholocaust is going to be on it, and we are always looking for other bands to do shows with. If interested e-mail me at MISFIT4798@aol.com -Later Drew ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Apr 1997 00:21:52 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: All based on being a Packrat... Hello fiends... first off, Liza - so far nothing has come from sending in the postcard. though for a while several fiends were trying to figure out which mailing list this was taken from. Angels of the Seventh Dawn or the Danzig Force. it would be nice to see something out of this but sometimes i think a lot of us are hoping for the old days. free eps, stickers and stuff or even with AOTSD, the invites to hang with the band before the shows. with the recent Danzig promo CD's only the promo for the full LP did not have an insert. Sacrafice and 7th House did have inserts. Sacrafice had the computer enhanced photo of Glenn, and 7th House used the new Skull. Speaking of Skulls, i scanned the skull's from issue #1 of Crystar and will send them to Mark to us for Misfits Central. hopefully that will help all of you who have not found those comic books. issue #1 cost $2 and issue #8 with the skull on the cover cost a whole 75 cents. to the guy looking for the killing joke 10", i'm not the one who you spoke to but i have one to sell. the sleeve is VG+ and the vinyl is Mint. let me know. Itchy - i think Frontier went out years ago. though you can still find some of the records from the label. Suicidal Tendencies had their first LP on that label. Dan - well with James O'Barr, first off i never heard he was ever married. rumor has it that he did witness his fiance's murder and wrote the Crow because of it but that is a rumor. as for Glenn and James fighting at the con, well it is possible but i have never heard that one either. See the Danzig character was in a comic story for Caliber Press Presents. the first story appears in issue #1 Jan 1989. the story was called IO, and was under the name Barbed Wire Halo Studios. though you could tell it was James' work from the art. I can understand why Glenn would be mad and not cause of the use of the name. The Danzig character was a punk like half man half machine. the character is very violent(though that would probably not bother Glenn) and would always shoot up with morphine. which is what probably pissed of Glenn if they had a arguement about it. Though the name never changed in the story, but i don't think James writes the story anymore. He moved from Caliber Press to Tundra Press in late 91 - early 92. then the Crow was repressed and finally there was an end to the story. there was another story James did but it was another German name and hard to find. i saw the comic goes for $25 now, i have the poster for that one. well i think that is it for now. Misfits 101 will be back in swing friday and some con info for all the weekend vinyl warriors out there.

DINNER >From: Brett Fama >Subject: last Bible... > >Bobby: >What's all this about an alternate version of "Archangel" ?? Any >others you know of? It's the same version as on INITIUM. Steve Zing had an acetate of the original mix of the album. In my opinion it was a much better mix - not as dismal as the available one. I'm not knocking the final version - I just think the original mix was far better. Glenn seems to have a tendency of making a great mix of a record, and then going back to re-do the mix, and killing it. Like with the NOTLD 7". He wasn't happy with the sound of the snare in the original mix - so he went back and did the muddy remix that we all know and love. Compare the Songshop tracks on disk 3 to the sound on the NOTLD 7" and you'll see what I mean. >From: Paul Holstein <102165.134@CompuServe.COM> >Subject: Re: re: Misfits Bible #315 >Bobby, of course you have been to Detroit several times.

Nirvana: we all know what happened Yeah Kurt went crazy >3. Blondie: broke up 2 years after being on a major label Well here you're dead wrong. Blondie's first album was released in late '76 on Private Stock. That contract was bought out by Chrysalis in '77 the album was re-released under the Chrysalis label followed by Plastic letters, Parallel Lines, Eat to the Beat, Auto-American and a couple of others. Blondie fizzled out in the MID 80's (that's close to 10 years on a major) and they died out because Chris Stein, Debbie's boyfriend, got sick (Porphyria Vulgaris) and could hardly do anything let alone record or tour. He was after all the musical talent in the band. >4. Clash: same as blondie Wrong again. The Clash, with the exception of Janie Jones, was on a major since day one. The first album released in '77 the last what? like 1983? Their breakup had more to do with musical differences between Mick Jones and Joe Strummer than anything else. Strummer wanted to do politically active stuff and Jones just wanted to write pop songs (listen to Big Audio Dynamite.) >5. Metallica: still together but totally sucks now Well that's opinion, worth about the same as tits on a bull. >6. Sex Pistols: broke 1 year after signing Well since the Pistols were on a major since day one what does it mattter? By the way they broke up because they blew apart, not to mention Malcolm McLaren.

Well thank God that will never happen (notice tongue in cheek sarcasm). Too late it's already happened, the Geffen Misfits release will be out in a month.

The whole argument regarding 'sell out' bands is fairly redundant when related to the kind of genre *most* of the bands that people on this list would listen to. Most non-mainstream bands build up a fan base through word of mouth and hearsay. Therefore they *have* to be considered 'cool' to the 'elite' to start with. If the local Bush fan told you to buy a tape from a band he rated as the best R'n'B album ever you'd hardly rush to the record store... So, people who's musical taste you respect rate an album highly so you buy it, then you tell your friends it's cool and they buy it, eventually the circle spreads and soon the band are sniffed out by record companies. Then they release their debut major by which time *most* of the original fan base have discovered the next 'big thing'... leaving the MTV and Hit Parader kids to buy the 'new' band's stuff (don't worry, there will be plenty of votes for the Misfits as 'best newcomers' in the end of year polls come December). This is how it works with the non-mainstream end of the record industry. In a sense, the 'elite' that CG refers to actually do the job of the record companies A&R guys, at least initially anyway. Record companies sometimes try to get round this unpredictable route by 'buying' credibility... it rarely works (say hello Rancid). Therefore it's pointless to say bands 'sell out'... how can they decide where their original fan base should end? Should they only press 1,000 of each album, or is 10,000 still 'alternative' enough? The quote from Glenn Danzig was entirely correct, it is totally unfair to chastise an artist for their success. I mean, if you really want a debate, how about the argument that says that the best music, art and literature ever produced is probably sitting in someone's bedroom closet right now... they don't feel the need to share it with the World in case they be accused of 'selling out' if, God forbid, anyone other than themselves liked it. One last thing, I do totally agree with the point that deliberately not liking a band because they become big is totally dumb but come on, we've all bought an album which initially we liked only to realise that it's actually pretty lame 4 weeks later...

They sell only first rate stuff of >the highest possible quality. " I have too spent tons of $'s there and have found that their prices tend to be a little on the steep side, at least compared to NY. I bought the Japanese version of Animal Boy by the Ramones for $45 (CD) there (this was WAAAY before it was rereleased here on CD). I saw it in NY a few months later in NYC for $30. Some of their other discs I have purchased have been a little pricey as well but their selection is top notch and is a good place to start looking for something.

Metallica: still together but totally sucks now >6. Sex Pistols: broke 1 year after signing >9. Rancid: cool before Lars, now sucks I don't know shit about Blondie, but the Clash signed to Epic (CBS in the US) in 1977 and put out their last album in 1985 or so (Cut the Crap, which is the worst Clash album by far). That is 8 years after signing. The Clash never released anything as an unsigned band and all of their great tunes came out when they were on a major label. Regardless of whether you like their politics or not, they are one of the great punk bands of all time (though all you folks who claim that if it aint hardcore it aint punk will disagree). The Pistols broke up 1 year after signing because of shitty management and because of Sid Vicious sucking ass, not because they were on a major label. If you listen to any of their early demos, they pale in comparison to the sounds of NMTB. One of the best Metallica albums, Master of Puppets, came right after they signed to Elektra. They suck now because they chose to suck, not because of the label they are on. Rancid rocks now, especially with Lars. Just my opinion. Tammy said " i think Frontier went out years ago. though you can still >some of the records from the label. Suicidal Tendencies had their first LP >on that label." Also, the Cirlce Jerks first two albums are on one Frontier CD (Group Sex, Wild In The Streets) that I still see in stores from time to time. I'm not sure if the original vinyl was on Frontier or not. Geoff Wilson said "The fans who took the time and the initiative go off the >beaten path and find these unknown groups soon find that they are lumped >into the same concert-audience with thousands of screaming, angry jocks, >and "cool people" who may or may not like the music, but who are there >because the band is, at the time, trendy." Well, the good thing about that is that as with any trend or fad, it will be over just as quick as it started, and the bands will be back playing in local clubs when they are no longer the flavor of the month. I remember Foghat (yea, remember those idiots) were the biggest thing since sliced bread in 8th grade (we're talking 1979 here, and my school was the redneck capitol of NJ) They were huge; 2 weeks ago they played a local club to 200 people, While I have no doubt that the Misfits will never gain any popularity on a massive scale to "sell out" we can all be sure that in about 20 years or so, Metallica will be headlining your local bar and playing Motorbreath in front of 100 local drunks.

I knew it wouldn't live up to the old standards, but because of Graves forgiving performance on the Misfits Ressurection tour, i went in to to this album with an open mind. After all, I always dreamed that the Misfits would come back and kick some serious ass, but now I realize that sometimes we feel the most resentment towards the person who makes our dreams come true because the ruin our dreams. I am sad to say that this album is very disapointing. It starts off with the "Abdominable Dr. Phibes", a really horrible imitation of a Samhain intro. The next song, "American Psycho", fools the the listener into thinking that the album might not be that bad after all, but then "Speak of the Devil" reassures you that the album is just another shitty, "cash in while you can" punk resurrection. First of all (I am sorry to say this, but..) Danzig would never put up with this crap, and I can now see why he didn't want to join them. Second, the music sounds like some sort of scorpions/pennywise hybrid, or punk rock with BC Rich guitars. And third, Grave's voice really isn't that good. He sounds like Mike Patton (faith no more) trying to sound like Danzig but occasionally forgets about it. The lyrics and titles are just stupid. They used to be spooky but just plain goofy, but now they are just trying to be scary (BLACKLIGHT, THE HUNGER, RESURRECTION). Eventhough the album is bad, it is still forgivable, that is until you get to "Mars Attacks". It seems as though they went through 3/4 of the album, and then remembered that they had to have a song about some horror movie. Since they probably all hate old movies they settled for a new one. As if the tiltle is bad enough, the song is even worse. It sounds like a cross between a Grim Reaper video and the music that plays in the background of a Power Rangers fight scene. There are a couple decent songs that float through this pool of bat vomit. Ironically, they are the ones that titles sound the worst. "Walk among us", "Hate the Living, but Love the Dead", and "Blacklight" come pretty close to the glory days, but not close enough to save the album. "Crimson Ghost" is even decent until you get to the Metallica (Creeping Death to be exact) breakdown. I hate this album, however I am so compulsive about Misfits stuff, I will probably be the first to buy it when it actually come out. Dean138 ------------------------------ Date: Wed Apr 2 03:26:46 1997 From: Jon Jorden Subject: signing to majors and Frontier and boots and shit Signing to a major> To the kid who was saying he wanted to be the only punk in school or whatever, I dont know why you'd want that. Back in the days when I was in Jr. high and high school I was among maybe a dozen 'punks' in school (this is in a school of 5000). IF there were more cool punk kids around there school might have been more interesting. Instead I hung out downtown and slept in school all day. heh. As far as bands 'selling out'. Well lets take your list: Blondie broke up after 5 albums (at least....) The last two or three of which stank. SO what if they broke up. The Clash broke up (before or after Cut The Crap depending how you look at it) after what 4 albums and maybe 5 years? They started out around 77 and wound up in 82 let's say... Green Day played the same style before and after signing. It's hilarious to see people call them sell-outs after they started listening to them with Dookie. Uhmm.. Sex Pistols- Being on the label had nothing to do with them breaking up. It was Glitterbest(sp) (Malcomb if you will) who broke them up. Metallica has been on major labels for like a decade or more. I forget what else... Anyway as far as Frontier goes-- They and their catalog were bought up by BMG music about 8 to 10 years back. I'm not sure if they were sold again but I thinkthey're still issuing CDs. For a good while they were just a 'catalog' label (not issuing new music), and then in the early 90's they put out a few records. Incidentally the Adolescents first record has recently been reissued. don't know what label though, but that's a rad record. And before it was a bithc to find. uuuh what else. To the guy complaining about Danzig threating to smash boots in the guy's store. Well it's his right to isn't it? Or at least to demand them. While I think boots are a good thing many times, if an artist is anti- bootleg then they are. On the other hand, Elvis Costello said something recently about how he issued his really limited 5 CD set and was like "well it's neat to have something so limited and besides, they're already been bootlegged anyway" that is all oh... the The Goon Squad is coming for you.

I think it's selfish of you to not want them to become successful, they have no control over who likes them, and just because you fit the "trend" of your music, i.e you were classified as a "burnout" and a "stoner" 1. because you either were one or 2. because you fit the trend of your band.

( can't remember who it was) My question is what drug is this person on? I have heard a fair amount of the new stuff, and I can't stop listening to it. Second of all, where is my advance copy? (just playing, whoever has it is very lucky) We need some of those on the west coast, so we can review em for ourselves. If whoever it was, was so unhappy with the copy, please send it my way, I would be more than happy to take it off your hands. If anyone has any info on helping me get the misfits to play here in olympia, please e-mail me at cantona@elwha.evergreen.edu Any info will be greatly appreciated. Anyway this is geting long, and I don't want to bogart anymore space, so I bid you all a good day or night or whatever A fiend for life, Jason Rojo ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Apr 1997 19:00:19 -0800 From: R Hinojos Subject: kryst [kryst] thanks to jeremy greig, i know possess the kryst cd. well, maybe i shouldn't admit that. ;) thanks bud! :) [16] http://misfits.plan-9.com/sixteen.html comments would be appreciated.

I posted something very similar to this before and it looks like CG and D-Rod agree with me, just because a band becomes famous doesnt make them suck, like D-Rod said, if they change their music to fit a certain genre of music......thats a different story, but if you really did care about the Misfits youd be happy for them instead of trying to stay with the "Underground" and be the cool, tough punk you are. >Right now I am the one and only Misfit fiend -----Give the man a cigar!!!!! fiend but >I liked the misfits before the resurrection, ----....and another cigar!!!!!!!!!!!!! >but lately I kinda sorry it happened. ----You're ridiculous!!!!!!!

Contact me and we'll trade... davenaked@juno.com ------------------------------ Subject: Halloween 95...the real story From: dave naked Date: Thu, 03 Apr 1997 10:44:16 EST Fiends...Just a thought... Anyone who has the "dramatic" return of the Misfits (10/31/95, or 11/1/95 depending on how you look at it) should know the real story as opposed to the cute WWW one Mark (I guess) sketched up: "Michale took a brake and Sal Bee took over" "The band cut there set short because they thought the cover charge at Coney Island was to high" Its clear on this video that Mike quits not because he was tired, or whatnot, but because the crowd was trying to be the shit out of him. In Coney Island they were HATED. Between every song you can hear the chorus of "FUCK YOU" being sometimes even screamed over the music. The song before Michale quit he was almost pulled into the crowd a few times. He said something like "thanks alot, we'll see you guys later". He wanted to end it. At that point Sal somewhat begged for the band to play more ("come on, one more, horror buisness, one more"). After three songs with Sal, Mike comes out to finish the set with another three songs. Am I right on this? Have the Misfits ever played another punk gig? NO. Metal heads are much less violent than punkers. dave ------------------------------ Subject: Evilive '96 ? From: dave naked Date: Thu, 03 Apr 1997 10:56:11 EST Has anyone ever pondered the idea of Jerry Only supplying Blizzard with the soundboard tapes of "Shocking Return". Think about it. How likely is it to get a *soundboard* copy of a band playing (excluding radio broadcasts). Almost impossible. Would the Misfits ever let anyone plug into their soundboard? NO. Why wouldnt Jerry give live material to bootleggers? They cant put any live stuff with Michale out legally according to the settlement with Glenn (well, they can put out live stuff just not re-recordings of old stuff, with Michale). They needed something new out to get Michale exposed to the world. A new album would be almost a year away! They needed to keep interest in the band. A good copy of an almost complete show would do this. Notice they have all new pictures (except for that on old shot), they got all the names right (of the songs, and the people). Jerry gave them this tape, the pictures, the info. Not one song is named incorrectly. No mistakes are made. Jerry's on the cover. They needed something out, and this was the only way to do it. dave ------------------------------ From: GAGNON JEAN-FRANCOIS Subject: Times Square, 4 hits, violent World Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 12:19:30 -0500 (EST) Hi, This is the first time I write. I received Learn It 3 weeks ago and I must admit that I listen to it all the time. The only negative thing I have to say about that record is that it's too short, 8 songs in about 20 minutes. But than again, it's 7.50$ so it's still a good deal. I saw Times Square last summer in Montreal and it was great show despite the fact that their drummer haven't been able to cross the border. They took the drummer from the local band that was opening for them who did a good job in the circumstance, having never heard Times Square before. They also did some Undead and Misfits covers. I really hope that T.S. wiil come again in Montreal this summer. I also got the 4 hits from Mars and I like the 4 versions, especially Silent Noise, I think it's really original. And the blue vinyl is great. Violent World. It seems that I'm the only one here who really like that CD. I even think that Therapy? are doing a good job except for the singer who doesn't seems to be happy singing this song. For those who don't like Prong's version of London Dungeon, wait till you hear that song in a club, it's gonna make you wanna dance.

I know he can't see this for himself, but maybe Mark will give him our best the next time he talks to Rocky or Jerry or whoever. Have a good one Chud. Next, I was looking through Misfits Central and I realized that the original versions (ie: not mucked around with by Glenn) of "Spinal Remains" and "She" from the Static Age session weren't on the box. I checked Mark's book and according to him they are going to be released on the Static Age album. Why weren't they released on the box? Did Caroline decide to keep these two ace cards up their sleeve as insurance so that everyone would buy the seperate SA? I'd like to hear what Tom B has to say with regards to this...

I recalled a post in one of the Bibles last week that listed a whole bunch of bands that had Misfits-inspired names. However, I found another one that was overlooked by the rest of you. The band is Texas is the Reason, and they are a fairly popular punk band up here (Allentown, Pa). The title is obviously Misfits-inspired: read your "Bullet" lyrics. One more thing: There is a White Zombie song on the "Private Parts" soundtrack called "American Nightmare." Is it any relationship to the Misfits song? I haven't heard the WZ version. :::::The Gospel According to Andrew::::: ------------------------------ From: Mark Allen Blackman Subject: Evilive CD Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 19:51:31 -0500 I was wondering what the difference is between the 2nd and 3rd presses of the Evilive CD. According to Mark Kennedy's discography, there is a plan 9 logo on the 2nd and Caroline on the 3rd. Does this mean that the 2nd ONLY has the Plan 9 logo and the 3rd ONLY has the Caroline logo or does the 3rd have the Caroline logo in addition to the Plan 9 logo.

After evaluating various prices guides(goldmine, etc..) I feel Misfits(as well as many others) records are highly under valued and inaccurate(with some exception to the Misfits-thanks to MK). Most of the problems are that labels like Touch & Go(who I recently contacted) do not have any release info. Although many labels like Dischord and Plan9(thanks to MK) are well documented, I do not feel the prices are accurate or established. I would like to collect information to establish a guide that accurately describes release info as well as a fair market value of records and memorabilia(based onMint and VG+ condition). I feel Misfits collectors(Devilman138, Grimm, EVB, Tammy, etc..) are the best resources for info. Groups and labels of interest are many, but here's a sample. If you have a near complete collection of any punk related band you want represented in this guide, please send a discography,date rele! ased, price & date purchased, and estimated value, to me. Also, I'm going to try get together a group to evaluate info(from Misfits Bilble and others groups) to come to an agreement of value.

So, not being someone to blow off shit-talking without a response, here goes: First of all, I decided to charge what I am because 1) I spent well over a year putting the show together and 2) I think it's a damn good video. All I know is that I've seen Misfits live CDs selling for $35 or more, most of which are poorly recorded. For the record, I work two jobs, I'm not interested in ripping off punk rockers for cash. I've spent more than half my life supporting punk rock, either playing in bands, putting together shows, doing benefits, etc. This music is my life. Anyway, all that I said is that I have a video of this show, and I personally feel that I'm being reasonable with the price. If you don't, no problem, that's your opinion. If you think I'm a corporate sell-out, that's fine, I'll still sleep good at night. I've put more into the scene than most. If you can find the tape at a cheaper price, then go for it. Oh, and by the way: I set up and promoted the Action Park show without payment. Just figured I let people know in case that was the next complaint to come my way. Thanks. Misfitmole@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Apr 1997 01:31:19 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: Yeah, i'm doing it again... Hello fiends... first thing to hit on is, I did this last year and i think its time to do it again. *a Get To Know You Issue of the Bible* this is how it works, i will have 5 questions that you have to aswer about yourself and send it all to me for putting together the Bible issues(Yes we learned our lesson from last year that one issue is to big and it pisses off all the Juno subs.) Where to start. first answer the questions in order don't go and post it to the bible now, you will have enough time to answer the questions and send them to me to organize before i send Mark the issues. also make an effort this year, last year we had 10% of the bible members do this and that is pretty sad. i know we have 1174 last count so we could do this, its not like the Halloween Trivia contest where you had to really thing about answering the questions. last year a lot of people were asking why i did not ask fave movie and some other items, stick it in question #4. Major thing: no flaming or making fun of the younger fiends, i don't want to hear that shit this year. they are fiends too, so what if they are not up there in age like the rest of us(lucky bunch of ghouls). this upset a lot of people and it is not worth waisting space on the bible for it. ***HERE ARE YOUR QUESTIONS*** 1) What is your: Bible name, Real name, when you were born and where? 2) What do you do: Work, School, Bands etc? 3) How you got into the Misfits in the first place and how you became a Bible member? 4) What are your other interests: Other music, things you like to do, or other things you collect( other than Misfits, Samhain and Danzig Records and stuff)? 5) Last book you read? what do you do, answer them, and send them to: tes777@bridge.net two weeks from this fridays issue is more than enough time to answer the questions. on to, ryq, i'm not trying to flame you, it is just that the subject is one i take very seriously. There is nothing i hate more than people ripping others off on records. and when it comes to a fiend ripping off another fiend that just makes me even more pisses. we as a group are so different than any other bunch of fans/collectors. we all have a lot more in common than any run of the mill bunch into a band. we tend to look out for one another more than any other bunch. and to see one of us rip off another is very sickening. that is something that has to be stopped and i will not let this slide here and if it means drilling the info into all of your head, i will. obviously i don't have the collection i do if i didn't know what i was talking about. i also got a lot of it from other collectors and traders. i took a lot of chances and i got one burn that i never would expected to happen. i don't feel any pitty or sorry for the posts that hit the bible or MRR when these people get ripped. the ones that do this deserve every ounce of hate, vile and whatever nasty bit can be posted or written. It's down right stealing and there is no place for it on the Misfits Bible. This place is for us to learn and help each other out not rip each other off. Plus if you think you can get away with this without anyone knowing, think again. the info spreads faster than it did when i first started collecting. Your ass will be toast all in a couple hours to when it took a couple weeks. Mark B. - you did pretty good i see. as far as the promo for the new Misfits, have not seen it offered up, but i guess if i want it now i will have to make some calls. Brett - you were write about that logo in the corner. Misfits 101... Cons for the weekend and what to bring... There are a lot of them this weekend so if you see where you live on the list write me and i'll give you the info. April 4 Normal, IL.

BARGAIN BARGAIN BARGAIN. don't pay what some schmuck tells you, you know better than that. offer what you want to pay and bargain it. i usually say the price i want to pay and then flash a big smile. this usually works for me. ;) well good luck and post what you got. everyone have a great weekend and start answering the questions and sending them in. you got till April 20th 10PM to send them in, 2 weeks and 2 days.

Personally I don't think that guy sounds like Danzig. The guy who sings the last verse was a friend of the guys in NOFX who works at the studio where they usually record their stuff. Apparently he really likes to imitate Danzig's singing style on old Misfits stuff so they let him sing it. > From: The Party Bitch > Subject: A sighting, along with some questions. > > I think last bible, or maybe a few back, someone was talking about a >Misfits book.

NO. > Metal heads are much less violent than punkers. You're WAY off. Sal Bee sang for Jerry and Doyle during practice for about 2 or 3 years before they found Michale and got back on the road. At Coney Island, they weren't even supposed to do a show. It was going to be a record release/signing party for the upcoming Caroline Misfits releases. It was supposed to be free, but Coney Island charged $20, so the band went up and did a quick set for the crowd. The Misfits let Sal sing those songs because he wanted a shot at singing and they owed it to him. Sal also sang "We Are 138" at every single Misfits show (except for the Hallowen shows) in '96, and even took over at other songs along the way. Sal was supposed to sing those songs, and in fact the original plan for the night was to have the Misfits join Sardonica (Sal's band) on stage for a song or two, NOT to do a 13 song set. They were just being cool to the people who paid all that money to get in there. Coney Island was a tiny place, and it was packed full of people that night, but I didn't hear many people yelling "fuck you." There were some fools there who paid $20 to heckle the band, but you find them at every show. Mostly, it was a few hundred people there to see a band that nobody had seen in years. And there was a nice supply of metal heads there, just like at every Misfits show. > From: dave naked > Has anyone ever pondered the idea of Jerry Only supplying Blizzard with > the soundboard tapes of "Shocking Return". > > Think about it.

Overseas last year, the Misfits let a lot of people record their shows. There's a video compilation out there that features a Misfits live show and an interview with the band members.

I'll tell you what happened. As I have said before, Caroline put all the stuff on all the master tapes that they had onto the box set. After completing the set and preparing its release, they listened to the original 2" multi-track recording of the entire session, as opposed to the complete 14-song mixed master tape, and discovered the original versions of these songs. Too late for the box set, they decided to put them out on Static Age, which was (and is) going to be released in '97. > From: adam bodnar > Subject: crimson red postcard > > Just out of curiousity, did anybody receive a red postcard with a black > crimson chost skull in the mail a few weeks ago.

Mark ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Apr 1997 23:36:18 -0400 From: Crimson Ghost Subject: last issue Doyle poster is still up for grabs high bid is $35, KTC Cassette is gone, but the good tape (Chud's band Sacred Trash) is still available. Original advertisement will follow this post... A message to the mole: Joel shame on you for trying to sell that vid for $18. Good rule of thumb is: Cost of tape + $2 for your trouble + packing materials + postage. If you're not making any money on it then you can't be convicted of bootlegging. Since you are obviously making a profit, and you live in (or near) Vernon, and you are friends with Jerry, you are obviously doing this with his permission, right? Selling that vid for that much money not only makes you look bad, it makes Jerry look bad. Selling an amateur home video for the price of a professional production, really. Please don't tell us how you labored long and hard to put the show together for free either, that's your own fault. Jerry could have given you a point or two. Julian Baldry said: >buy it, then you tell your friends it's cool and they buy it, eventually the >circle spreads and soon the band are sniffed out by record companies. >Then they release their debut major by which time *most* of the original >fan base have discovered the next 'big thing'... leaving the MTV and Hit >Parader kids to buy the 'new' band's stuff (don't worry, there will be >plenty of votes for the Misfits as 'best newcomers' in the end of year >polls come December). You hit on something to ponder here. Who's the real trendhoppers? The idiots that go from one trendy (mainstream) band to the next. Or the idiots that hop from one *underground* trend to the next, leaving the band's music just because they got popular? I'm not proud, I like Nirvana (oh shit don't I just feel dirty all over?) My first exposure to them was seeing Nevermind at the top of the Billboard chart. I said who the fuck are these guys? I put on MTV and watched for about a half hour and sure enough a Nirvana video came on. I liked it. I immediately started to ask around, where are they from, what have they done prior... I found copies of their earlier stuff and liked it too. The point I'm trying to make is that without the national exposure you never would have heard of this band on the east coast. Just like 3/4 of you dopey fucks would never have heard of the Misfits without bands like Metallica or G'n'R. God knows Glenn never talked about them. >From: SICKELS@main.library.duq.edu >Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 21:49:54 -0500 >Subject: stupid question > >I was just wondering why that Tammy chick always gets to be the last post. >Is there any reason?

They cant put any >live stuff with Michale out legally according to the settlement with >Glenn (well, they can put out live stuff just not re-recordings of old >stuff, with Michale). Actually, there shouldn't be anything stopping them from putting out a live album featuring the 'old songs.' ANYBODY, any band, even the Misfits can cover any song they want, without the permission of the author or catalog owner. (since Evilive (Glenn Danzig) owns the publishing that's what it would be a cover). All you have to do is pay the royalties to the publishing company. Bobby you are informing BMI everytime Times Square performs Yummy Yummy Yummy, right? Going back to your assumption that Jerry is behind the 'Resurrection' Bootleg. You seem to have drawn this conclusion just cause it's a good soundboard boot and everything is spelled right on the cover. That's kinda silly. I've yet to see a soundman without a DAT deck or at least a cassette deck in his rig. Didn't you ever stop to think that that's where the source originated from? As far as all the information being printed correctly... Well jesus Keerist already even a slack jawed yokel can go to Misfits Central and get all the information they want. Geez Mark's got more info on there than even the Misfits remember.

Many bands wont even know if it happens or not. Most sound setups have a tape deck in the rack, and when you're playing a gig you wont see the soundman putting a tape in. I Dont believe in following rules: 1) What is your: Bible name, Real name, when you were born and where? look up, look up, Hyde Park New York- 1972 2) What do you do: Work, School, Bands etc? film/audio producer, dj, producing The Jam covers comp, in a band "Goon Squad" uhhh other stuff. Trying to graduate. 3) How you got into the Misfits in the first place and how you became a Hmmm. Not sure exactly. I think the first Misfits record I heard was Collection or Legacy, and the first one I owned was the Walk AMong Us reissue (cassette. haa) around 87 let's say. 4) What are your other interests: Other music, things you like to do, or other things you collect( other than Misfits, Samhain and Danzig Records and stuff)? punk, jazz, hardcore, classical, hiphop, new wave. collect records. mainly interested in early punk hardcore records and new wave records. i guess i'm gettin' old! 5> last book read All Our Kin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Apr 1997 14:07:02 -0800 (PST) From: Geoff Wilson Subject: Responding to the profoundly retarded... > > Date: Wed, 2 Apr 1997 13:38:23 -0700 (MST) > From: CLONE > > have you kept in contact with these people through the ages, you > know, people can change, for the better or for the worse, how do you know > that they are idiots? or shallow? you know that person in high school was > shallow, but what about today? why are you ripping on people, you're > supposed to go to concerts to have fun, and part of that fun is watching > the people, maybe they just go to see what it's like, that to me is > open-mindedness not shallowness, at least they are giving the music the > time of day, I'll give you an example, my girlfriend wanted to go see > Social Distortion, and i said, oh yeah ok i'll go with you to see your > shitty band, but then Social D ripped the crowd apart, they were killer, > and now are one of my favorite bands, why don't you give these people a > chance, I bet some of them are just out there to have fun. Of course I haven't kept in contact with those people! It's not my idea of fun to hang out with a bunch of assholes and wait for them to mature. Part of the fun of shows is the people, when the crowds are cool and friendly and not a bunch of beer-swilling jocks who have a burning desire to play football with everyone else in their vicinity. And their putative "open-mindedness" is a myth. Their distinctive attribute is actually passive mindedness, the refusal (or inability) to think and evaluate critically. But a discussion of epistemology is probably way beyond you. You were driven to ad hominem attacks and flaming me simply because I voiced an opinion, and I have little choice but to question your reasonableness and sincerity. > > I dont really see the misfits being played over and over again on MTV. > Search my last post carefully.

Are you capable of reading a post without projecting your own hackneyed and half-witted comments into them? I said that there were POSITIVE results of success, and that there were reasons why we'd want to see our favorite bands succeed. Once again, READ MY POST, in its entirety, if you want to comment on it. Don't grasp at some isolated paragraph, ignoring the context in which it was written. And it is both MORAL and FINE to be selfish. Pursuit of selfish interests is the root of all good. Why did Mark create this list? Because he had a personal, selfish interest in discussing and promoting a band that he loves. Why do we all subscribe? Because we do too. Should we altruistically subscribe to a mailing list on a topic that doesn't interest me? Would that be "good?" You are displaying an adherence to a outmoded ideal which you have failed to question or explore. I can see why you got pissed off when I commented on a "herd-mentality," since you seem to be the self-chosen representative. You are aptly named, "Clone." And yeah, I did look like that, and was ridiculed because I didn't wear J-Crew or whatever. I dressed like the bands I listened too, because that's what I wanted to look like. I thought they were cool. But did I look down on anyone else for doing what they wanted? No.Did all my friends dress like me? No. There is no accounting for taste. I dressed like that because _I_ wanted to. But that didn't make me into a "cooler than thou" jerkoff like the people to whom I was referring. That makes me a follower? Maybe you should get out the dictionary again... > > are you one of those people? you sure seem like it, i think your > high school pal's trendy drivel rubbed off on you, and you just dont know > it My "pal's trendy drivel?" What are you talking about? Take a course in logic, or at least in composition, before you decide to write another post. We are all a little stupider for having read your idiotic scrawlings, which are more akin to cave-drawings than reasoned arguments. Geoff ------------------------------ From: Willie Crane Subject: Looking for Guitarist and Bassist Date: Fri, 04 Apr 1997 15:08:54 PST I would like to defend my self shortly. 1. I am more than a kid. I hold 2 jobs, record other bands albums, and play in a few bands myself. A lot more than some of you can say. 2. The Misfits will always be my favorite band. It is not that they signed to a major label. It is o.k. as long as they don't break up or become so wildly famous as it dilutes the purpose of punk rock further. Anyways I am looking for: 1. Guitarist 2. Bassist 3. Drummer I am looking to start a Misfits and other songs by punk bands 1967-1984 cover band. If you live in the e-mail me. I already have a once-a-month gig lined up a local hangout. I can play the drums and sing so my talent is limited. Please don't flame us Fiends just because buy beer or cigarettes (legally anyways) For a free copy of my oi/metal band U.K. '82 send me an e-mail with your home address.

Personally I think Mike Patton has one of the best voices in the business. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Apr 1997 19:37:28 -0800 From: Clayton Long Subject: misfits bible Hell-o 1) Its a shame that I can't get through one issue of the bible without seeing at least one post of someone bashing someone else. For someone to say, I am going to beat your ass because you don't like Rancid, or for their opinions about various other things. There are certainly ways to express your disagreement without threatening to kick someone's fucking ass or blatantly insulting them. There are about 1175 bible members, and the few who have the guts to express their feelings about issues are made to feel like they should have kept their mouths shut. All opinions are valid, and if people can't look at them with an open mind. It's a given that all fiends are here to talk about the Misfits, but if they want to sidetrack a bit and talk about other things, thats cool. 2)I also have a bad feeling about the new Misfits album. I'll give Glenn Danzig one thing, he has a hell of a voice. From all the stories I've heard, I have formed the opinion that he is a grade-A asshole. Maybe this isn't true, who knows. On the other hand, how can the misfits survive without him. I don't see it happening. Without his voice, and his talent for writing songs(which seems to have been lost about ten years ago) I think that the Misfits are doomed. I hope very much that I am wrong. I wish only the best For Jerry and Doyle, because I have written to them and they are good guys. All for now. silkyboy "Do not forget, I am Divine!" ---Divine ------------------------------ From: "Cheryl M.

That is also where I live. Personally, I don't care for them too much, but they have a following down here. I think that they sound a little like Tool and maybe a little Danzig 1 in there. If anyone cares, I can find out some more and maybe hook you up with a CD or something. -itchy ------------------------------ From: EvilDieff@aol.com Date: Fri, 4 Apr 1997 23:29:47 -0500 (EST) Subject: not a bad idea! luther the greek said: >>For those who don't like Prong's version of London Dungeon, wait till you hear that >>song in a club,it's gonna make you wanna dance. hey! that's a good point! next time i'm at the batcave i'll remember that. but i liked it to begin with so i'll be on the flo' shakin' my booty.

I like lots of bands, across many genres and that have achieved a wide range of popularity (from none ever, to a flasj on the pan to major stardom for years). But in all cases, I like these bands cuz I like their music - for whatever reason (i.e. I dig the music, I can relate to the lyrics, it just sounds real good cranked to 11 when I'm driving down the highway, etc). I like bands that have never played to more than 100 peaople and bands that have been selling out arenas for years. But in all my years I have never cared about how many copies of whatever album they sold - I like bands for thier music, not for their sales. If you stop liking a band just because they become popular - well, that's pretty fucking shallow. It's different if the music becomes stagnant or formulatic, or they run out of creative juices or whatever. You guys sound like people on the Manson newsgroup. I liked their first album when I heard it (cuz I thought it was funny as hell) but the ng had all these 14 year old talking about how MM "spoke to them". Then they got swept up by radio and MTV and they talked of how MM "sold out" just cuz you could hear em on the radio. Its getting the same on here - saying the Fits have sold out just cuz they have a record company putting out their album instead of gluing together sleeves in their basement. If Times Square's EP spawned a song that became a hit single and they sold 500,000 copies of the album - would Bobby and the band then be a sell-out??? Grow up people. As for these other bands.....the Clash was the first "punk" band to sign to a major label. The Pistols technically released 2 albums ("Swindle" was an official release) and the reasons for the breakup were rather complex - if you want to know the details (as well as everything else about the original punk movement) read "England's Dreaming", a 500+ page epic by Jon Savage. As for Metallica playing to 100 drunks in a bar in 20 years. Well, from what I know about em, if they did so it would be because they still loved playing. But I believe the context of this comment was in a post about "fad" bands. Um...They've been selling out arenas for about 10 years now - I would hardly call 10 years a "fad". Disco was a fad... break dancing was a fad (although both had a life long before and after their brief days of popularity). Ok...I'm ranting too much here....I'm done. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Stephen Gorny + There is an old truism which is often Department of Psychology + forgotten by the proponents of University of MD Baltimore County + political correctness: 1000 Hilltop Circle + Baltimore, MD 21250 + "You can't please all of the people + all of the time" sgorny1@umbc2.umbc.edu + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------ From: Undead138@aol.com Date: Sat, 5 Apr 1997 10:45:57 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: Black Sabbath Yeah, Ozzy wil reunite with the originol BSabbath for this years OZz Fest. THe only originol member who will not be there is Bill Ward (drummer) and Mike Bordin of Faith No more will be filling in. BSabbath will be playing on 20 of the dates, Marilyn Manson wil be playing 8, and I think Type 0 negative and Pantera will be playing all. Also, second stage with smaller acts like Machine Head and Neurosis.

Some People say it is like the coolest thing on Earth, and others say it really sucks. I remember someone said it sounded like Pop-Metal, but last time I checked Pop-Metal was like Bon Jovi, Trixter, and other shit like that. Anyway, I will see for myself how The new LP is in the near future..... undead138@aol.com PS- MiSFiTS Should play Ozz Fest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------ Subject: Danzig Scrapbook and Stuff?
