Flood "Caroline" with requests to put out >"Maxs Xmas". > We can do this.... Even better . . . Tell them you want the original tapes with Bobby Steele on guitar - not the FAKE re-recorded version. No matter how bad it might be - technology exists that can fix almost anything without re-dubbing tracks. On top of that. CAROLINE has passed on the tapes that I've offered from September '79. We could combine the best of these 3 sets for a nice live CD. I'm even getting closer to that Halloween '79 video and the CBGB's audition video. >From: 00sbgibson@bsuvc.bsu.edu >Subject: Featuring Ex-Misfits? >I have been getting the bible for a long time now, and have never posted, >but the other day as I was packing up all my stuff after getting evicted >my apartment I found a flyer from a Sloppy Seconds show I went to a couple >ofyears ago. It made me think of something Bobby Steele posted in the bible >a while ago. >In #263 Bobby Steele said: >>ACT YOUR RAGE- a punk record that came out when punk was very unpopular- >>recieved limitless good reviews; while DELIVER US FROM EVIL (that's Jerry's >>record - the one with the "features ex-MISFITS", but Bobby and Glenn are >>banking on the name -sticker) was slammed. In fact, that CD did so poorly >>that Jerry had to resort to using the name of a band, that he had previously >>put down, in order to achieve any success. >Now, I'm not attacking Bobby in any way, but this flyer was advertising all >of the bands which were going to be at "Sloppy-Palooza," Which includes >"the Undead featuring ex-Misfits." Next to this claim were a number of >Crimson Ghost logos and a huge copy of the cover from WAU (did Bobby even >play on this album?). Now, I really don't think Bobby had anything to do with >this flyer, but it just goes to show that no matter how dead set against >being identified solely as a one time member of the Misfits you are, sometimes >you just can't control the way in which someone else might present you.Why not >give Jerry the benefit of the doubt and assume that he had about as much to do >with the stickers on the Kryst CDs as you did the advertising on this flyer? Let's get this straight. I am not, and have never been dead set against being identified as an EX-MISFIT. I'm proud of that past. I had nothing to do with THAT flyer, but I have always advertised EX-MISFITS for UNDEAD and TIMES SQUARE shows. Why not ? It's the truth. Jerry put out that KRYST CD with that EX-MISFITS sticker, while accusing me and Glenn of "banking off THE MISFITS name" - which he then went on to say he was beyond that. "I'm washing my hands" That's saying he wants no association whatsoever with THE MISFITS - no matter how you slice it. I would have had no objection to it, except he was so damned righteous about how he would never lower himself to such a level as to use the MISFITS name. He's nothing but a liar, hippocrate and he's conned a lot of loyal fiends out of their money. If you think he's so sincere - see if you can get him to do a benefit show. With all the money he's made off of last year's tours - you'd think he would be willing to do at least one. He's only in it for the money. I feel badly for Michale, CHUD and DOYLE. Unlike both Glenn and Jerry; I have always been proud of being a MISFIT. The ultimate proof is in the fact that I held on to my MISFITS memorabilia. Most of what you see in MISFITS CENTRAL was from my personal collection - and I still have plenty more . . . including the MAX'S XMAS poster and photographs that have never been published anywhere. Jerry has admitted to throwing away everything he had - including a copy of the Halloween 79 video. While they were both denouncing THE MISFITS; I was touring and keeping the legacy alive by playing MISFITS songs for our fiends. Jerry has just stepped in to reap the financial rewards for something that I have been the primary one responsible for keeping alive. Then he stole about $70,000.00 of my share of the $650,000.00 advance that CAROLINE paid for the box set. He did the same to Joey Image and Googie too. I hope this clarifies this matter. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 May 1997 00:13:33 +0200 From: Ruprecht Meyer zu Riemsloh Subject: misfits review 05/03/97 berlin Here's the review of the show on Saturday 3rd of May 1997 at the SO36 in Berlin !! Perhaps you want to know something about the place SO36. It is one of the most important clubs in Berlin's Hard Core/Punk/... scene. The Misfits were supported by Sardonica and Subzero. Sardonica sucked! I think they're pretty bad. You couldn't tell whether it is a new song or still the same as before. The drums were so dominant that you could hardly hear anything else. Well, Subzero was pretty good, I liked them a lot. The place was nearly sold out and a lot of people were there when they started playing. The last song was a cover song of Cro Mags which they dedicated to the Misfits for taking them on tour. The Intro of The Misfits was the same as last year and they started the show with Halloween. The crowd went wild and everyone was pushing to the stage. Michael Graves came on stage last and had a hat (zylinder?)on and his face and head was painted white with a black skull on his face which looked pretty erie/cool/crazy ! The show was fantastic, they were even playing better than they did last year, when I saw them the first time. They played for almost 90 minutes, lots of old songs and 5 or 7 new ones of the American psycho which will be released in Germany on the 05/14/ as far as I know. The new ones were better than I expected and everyone seemed to like them. But the most important thing was that Michael Graves improved so much compared to the show last year that I couldn't belive it. He must've worked very hard and sometimes I thought that he was going mad on stage because somehow he was acting like in a rage or something. I don't know perhaps he was on drugs but it was just unbeliveable. Oh, I have to quit now. Hope that's enough info and if you've some more questions just write! bye, Rupi ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 May 1997 19:16:39 -0400 From: Greg Paterson Subject: Geffen homepage Geffen has their Misfits homepage up and running with sound clips from American Psycho.

Don't waste your time. "In The Doorway" is the last of the unreleased tracks.

Remember to check out _Great God Pan #9_ - there's a great short article featuring unreleased pictures of the '83 Misfits. Their next issue will also feature more unreleased pictures. Write to: Great God Pan; PO Box 491; Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-0491 with $4 (postage paid) for an issue. Several others have mentioned it recently (Persephone!) and it's definitely worth checking out.

The Philly Fugazi show was the most ludicrous event I have ever attended. I don't know whether to blame the venue or Philly but the two are inevitably intertwined. The crowd began to talk whenever the band played new material. The kids continued to crowd surf despite Ian's request for them not to roll on people's heads. I was embarassed to be from Philly. It was not the first time lately. I attended two NYC shows the nights before and there was no excuse for Philly's behavior. The shows in NYC lasted up to 2 1/2 hours with as many as three encores. The new songs especially "NO SURPRISE" were great. Philly doesn't know what it missed out on!!!!! So no I definitely don't think the MISFITS should play there during their summer tour... xDISCO INFERNOx P.S. If you don't like H2O for their music... fine. But don't hold them to some garbage hardcore ideal because no one is holding you to it. You only are responsible for yourself and therefore should only judge yourself. However, if you think H2O sucks... then don't go to their shows... its cool... it's your choice. ------------------------------ From: oioioi@geocities.com Date: Mon, 05 May 1997 20:23:33 -0700 Subject: DAMNED ALBUM HEya, I have a Damned album on white vinylon Stiff records from 1977 that my brother gave me, it has 5 songs on it, New Rose, Neat Neat Neat, a cover of Help by the Beatles, Strecher Case, and Sick of being Sick. Does anyone know the value of this?

It kinda reminds me of pennywise/bad religion with some parts sung by the singer of sisters of mercy. But there are parts that actually sound like the misfits also. -- . S U B H U M A N . `.

But before I step on the soap box I would like to inform you about 3 upcoming releases: 1. Marky Ramone and The Intruders S/T- May 6th on Thirsty Ear 2. GBH "Punk Junkies"- May 27 on Triple-X 3. Foo Fighters "The Colour and the Shape"- May 27 on Capitol Now about the Misfits reforming. They aren't they only psuedo-punk band to reform after breaking up. There are actually numerous ones to speak of: 1. Sham 69- reformed in 1989 after breaking up in 1980. 2. X-Ray Spex- reformed in 1994. 3. Sex Pistols- reformed in 1996. 4. Blondie- reformed in 1995. 5. Clash- remured to be reforming 6. Damned- had broken and reformed many times. 7. Buzzcocks 8. Vibrators 9. Dictators 10. Television- reformed and broke up again in 1993. 11. Velvet Underground- reformed for European tour in early '90s 12. Stiff Little Fingers 13. The Fall 14. The Jam- also rumored to be reforming 15. 999 16. The Lurkers So, when you complain about the Misfits coming back for money, it not their fault because it is really just a current trend in music. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 2 For all you guys who like to pick on posers. Well I just found an letter to MRR in Febuary's issue, #165, I would to share with you. Maybe, just maybe you will learn something: >"Oi! I read Ben Marx's tirade against "Fake punks" in #163. Hey Ben- >I totally agree with about posers and "punks" wannabe's in the "scene." >But...fuck, it's really not that cut and dry! Look at it this way: >Sure, there's stupid kids out their who worship Rancid and NOFX and >buy Punky Color hair dye and pay $80 to go see shows- this makes me >depressed, and I'm sure you feel the same way. But...don't despise >these kids so much. Cause, look- we all had to start somewhere! 3 >years ago, I was into Bad Religion and but I didn't know shit about >punk rock. I though "alternative" crap was cool. Yea, I was pretty >stupid for paying $16.95 (or more) for a brand new Helmet t-shirt at >the Underground, just fucking stupid for thinking I was being >different and alternative by dyeing my hair green , piercing my nose >and slam dancing. Blah, blah few paragraphs down...... >Quit whining! Make friends with posers and get 'em drunk. Let them >borrow your record collection. Everybody changes, a lot of these >posers will change. Most of these kids are learning about punk rock. >So don't make fun of them just cause they don't know as much as you >do. I agree totally with this article because I "discovered" punk by bands like Green Day, Rancid, and Bad Religion. I don't listen to their shit anymore because I found a few .45's of Richard Hell and Dead Boys. I know only listen to pre-new wave punk. Mostly only from britain or Ny. Since PUNK IS DEAD (no fucking joke).

One was in a fanzine that reissued material from the T&G 7inch comp (one Necros track), there's been some reissues of the Necros 7inchers, though they've been semi-legitimate or unlegitimate. Though they were from master tapes if that means anything. As for the possiblity of stuff being reissued: Touch & Go was owned during that time period solely by Tesco Vee. However Tesco sold/gave T&G away, so i'm not really sure who owns the rights to the old releases on T&G. Never the less, since some of that other stuff has been reissued legitimately (Negative Approach, Meatmen, etc) then I dont see why the Necros cant. As for Gasatanka, that's a label owned by White Flag. If you notice, the Germs tribute is co-released by Gasatanka. Who knows who has the rights to Gasatanka material from back then, cause they had a pressing/distro deal with someone (i dont remember who, maybe Important?). Either way contracts back in those days were non-existant so i could be the bands holding it up , or the labels, or whatever. As for ChiPs.. that show sucked but i watched it when I was a kid. My band tried to cover it... .that I Dig Pain song, but it sucked really bad. So.

I know that Ticketmaster says they have one or maybe even more, but I wouldn't count on them. The band has not released any information to anyone, even to those that work for them. When they do release the dates, they will give them to Mark. When Mark gets them, he will post them. Get off his back, he can't tell you what he doesn't know. Now, the newsletter. I asked Doug Evil (who designed the Fiend Club newsletter we've all been hearing so much about, yet have not received) to either have Candi post when it's being sent out, or to tell me. If he tells me, I will post it. Again, Mark can not tell you what he does not know.

I dont think thats true. Everyone one here was bitchin about how much the CD box set cost. . the vinyl would run you even more as it takes alot more records to put out all those songs.. also the packaging would have to be alot larger, etc.. I could see the vinyl version list price at $100 exp now that vinyl is more expensive to do that it when it was the format of choice... and people here bitched about spending $60 on the box set.. I got your tape by the way .. will listen to it later this week .. and then have to lug my VCR over to my DAT to record it :( Opus (aka Michael) said "Don't get me wrong, I love the Misfits, I just CANNOT except what Jerry is doing" its ACCEPT (as in that hilariously funny band that sang about having their balls to the wall) not EXCEPT .... Lord Quitus said " And on the H2O issue, if Toby is SxE, and sings about SxE, why does he ridicule the SxE kids who come to see them." Because its so easy and fun to ridicule straightedgers .... just as much fun as it is to ridicule stoners or born again Xtians anyone else who wears their "religion" on their sleeve ... Mike Pennington then spoke "i found out that there was a demo version of Metallica's "The Four Horsemen " called "mechanix" written by Dave Mustaine, former guitar player and lead singer of Megadeth!!!" Mustaine used to be in Metallica .. back in the day so to speak .. before Kill 'Em All came out.. You say formerly of Megadeth .. did that band break up? Persephone then commented on the CHiPs punk rock episode ... Some of you may also remember there was a punk rock episode of 21 Jump St which starred Agent Orange (or at least their music) I dont know if the real band was in that show as I have never seen them live.. .From Hell The Came is coming along .. i have 30 songs so far ... and it appears that the way I will issue it is a 60 minute cassette and a 74 (or so) minute CD. The CD will contain extra tracks that the cassette will not have, but not vice versa (i.e. if you have the CD you will have all the tracks from the cassette). The reason for that is that people paying 3 times as much for the CD are entitiled to more .... and some of the best performances that don't make it to the tape will make it to the CD and they will be picked at Keith's and my discretion. Do to the space considerations of the 60 minute cassette, some bands that may have been promised 2 songs may only have one on the cassette. Everyone who submitted anything will have atleast ONE song on the cassette/CD. I'm trying to be as fair as possible for all of this while at the same time giving some extra recognition to the bands that really shined. Thoughts, comments and hate mail can be directed at me.

At first i wasn't sure how long i would put off buying psycho, but now i won't! As for the music, all i can say is "sunday, monday... happy days!" ;) Well, ok, maybe not like that, but the new stuff sounds almost like a cross between the misfits and happy days, or eddie and the cruisers or some shit. Just take some old music and speed it up! I liked it though. Listening to it, i thought an evil elvis voice would have kicked ass, but some songs i think can stand without it easily. I hope the rest of the album is that cool.... and I'm sorry you all had to read my cheesy premature review of some 18 second sound clips! Nick B. by the way, maybe im dense or something, but did anybody answer my question about prong covering london dungeon and what danzig thought about it??? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 May 1996 14:06:41 -0400 From: aaron pacitti Subject: american i just got a copy of the american psycho promo, and it really aint that bad music wise...but im sorry to say this, it isnt the misifts. there are a few songs that have the true misfits spirit, but if you put them up against any pre 1983 songs, they just pale in comparison. even the best songs on the album still can compare to horror business or martian. its sad that these guys are trying to be the misifts. they arent. the AP demo is great. but it is not the misifts. jerry may own the name, but he doesnt have anything else. the music is wonderful, but not for a band called the misifts. jerry knew what he was doing with this, and it turned out perfectly. aaron ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 May 1996 14:02:15 -0400 From: aaron pacitti Subject: mr. naked dave naked, i couldnt agree with you more! well said. i think someone is trying to pull a quick one on us fiends. whether its jerry, glenn, caroline or who the fuck ever, they are simply cashing in on the fact that 90% of the people on this list will buy anything with the misifts name on it. why dont they throw the other 4 or 5 "unrecorded songs" that miraculously surface at convientent times on 7" and sell it for $4. that is doing something for the fans. then they could get the maxs xmas out on a LP and sell that for $10. i know someone has the original tape in their possesion. i dont wanna hear doyle overdubs. half the reason that show was so incredible was because of bobbys work. hey, maybe they will hold that until the next misfits album comes out, or make some deluxe package and charge $65 for two songs. until whoever does that, i will say whoever is holding this shit out on us is in it for the money. and out of curiosity, what did jerry do to get doyle to join the new misifts cover band? aaron ------------------------------ From: "JeanC,SrA,49CS/SCBBS" Subject: .WAV's & misc. Date: Tue, 06 May 97 12:33:00 PDT If you haven't done it, check out Scooter's .wav files of the new stuff. There's about 8 of 'em. Thanks for takin the time for doin that Scooter. Sounds like this album is gonna' live up to the band's name and the hoopla surrounding it all. Tammy - what's up with the flame-baiting? Didn't you praise the issue that Mark put out trying to get rid of all that? Sounds like now you're encouraging it from Blag. Yeah he took the first step...why not try and go above what he did and get past it all already. I think Bobby Steele can hold his own and stick up for himself if he feels the need to. Otherwise why not drop it and stop tellin the war stories? No, this isn't a flame or an attempt to make you look bad. But it appears you're the one who's not lettin it die..... Yeah, he made his first post pretty noticeable, but the times square review he gave really wasn't anything different from anyone else giving album reviews, and didn't mention your name once. And that CHiPs episode was hillarious! I saw it a few years back. The fat cop even had a small demonstration of slam dancing with some lockers. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 May 1997 15:24:18 -0400 From: Tarry Carapezza Subject: weekend So I went to NYC last weekend. Got to see a show at the legendary CBGB's, and yes it was Adam West. Jake and the guys played a shorter set than usual, but it was 2 o'clock in the fucking morning! All is forgiven. Stopped in at Kim's on St. Mark's and found not one, but two, used copies of 'Dawn of the Undead'. I've never seen even a new copy of this in DC. Sunday was a bad day. I went to Staten Island with the expressed purpose of going to Wu-Wear, the clothing store owned by the rap group Wu-Tang Clan. It was closed on Sundays. Not only that, it was closed until later this month for renovations. So, I was in a bad mood. Then I saw something that got me really pissed off. Some Pro-Life mother-fucker decided it would be a good idea to put a graphic bloody picture on a billboard, right across from a child care center! ERRRRRRRRR! Sorry, unMisfits related, it just pissed me off. >i have noticed that Metallica's "The Four Horseman" >of the "Kill 'em All" album sounds a bit too similar >to Megadeth's "Mechanix" of the "killing is My >business and business is GOOD!" album. >i found out that there was a demo version of >Metallica's "The Four Horsemen " called "mechanix" >written by Dave Mustaine I know somewhere I have a boot of Metallica playing Mechanix live.

Scary times. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 May 1997 15:36:14 -0400 (EDT) From: Brett Fama Subject: AMERICAN PSYCHO; OZZFEST cd; STATIC AGE cd 1. Is the official release cover of American Psycho going to be in full colour? (As depicted in a small ad in the new ALTERNATIVE PRESS [with the L7 cover], and also in a full-page ad on the inside back-cover if the new METAL MANIACS) Oris the cover completely coloured in red? (As in the METAL EDGE that came out a few weeks ago). Personally, the all-red version looks cooler. 2. I was told that a cd for the Ozzfest tour is supposed to come out on the 26th of May (or close to it) and will have at least one Danzig song, as well as one (or more) from each of the other bands that participated. True? 3. Someone complained about Caroline's upcoming release of STATIC AGE, which "mysteriously" contains thepreviously-thought -to-be-never-recorded "In the Doorway." Mark already explained why the song was never included on the box-set, (because Caroline had not yet received the master tape from Glenn), and I remember him telling me the same thing over a year ago -- so it has nothing to do with Caroline's greed. Why do you think they used Franche' Coma's mixing tape for Disc Four, rather than the superior master tape in Glenn's possession? Because they never had Glenn's copy until after the box-set was already in production. Also, if you feel you are being swindled in being "forced" to buy the new release for only one song, remember that it also contains unreleased, undubbed mixes of the 1/78 "She" and "Spinal Remains." When the box-set came out, everyone was freaking about how much greater the original SA mixes were than the LOB ones -- well, now you'll get 2 more originals. -Brett ------------------------------ From: DamagedInc@aol.com Date: Tue, 6 May 1997 15:37:41 -0400 (EDT) Subject: VERY cool Misfits sighting I don't know if it's been posted yet due to my leave of absence, but in Chasing Amy (part 3 of Kevin Smith's New Jersey trilogy, Clerks and Mallrats being first) there's a scene in a music stoe.

The first gig was held at Tullikamari, Tampere. People were invited to sing with Graves and lots of stage diving etc... Really good gig. Jerry said that although there weren't as much crowd as in the gigs in the UK but the gig was better cuz people were so crazy. A Finnish tv-show called "Jyrki" (the biggest show for teens in Finland) interviewed Jerry after the gig and the interview came out yesterday (5/6/97). It was only a five minute-clip, but it's good that bands like Misfits can get some time in a TV-show. The other gig was in Lepakko, Helsinki. I met Jerry and the boys after the gig in the backstage. They signed my ep's and cd's. Jerry is really a cool guy and he has a good sense of humour, I gave him "Jerry's Now 38"-lyrics (made by Tony the Tool, greetings to you) and he laffed a lot. The gig wasn't so cool because there were fascist guards who didn't let the crowd to go to the stage. No stage diving... Fuck! Anyways, the crowd was mad at them. I had my mom's camera with me but it didn't work. Fortunately my loved friend Tiina took many pics and I can have them. She took some pics of me and Jerry and so on... If she allowed me to put some of the pics in the net then I'll do it. I will tell you about it later.

Tim, did you check to see if the version of Green Hell is the one from the 1940's or 1950's, big difference. the first one is more mystery/Drama than horror, though Vincent Price is in the first one. the second one is plain out right monster movie. wasps that turn into giant wasps from test rockets that fall to earth in Africa. otherwise the Fly is the Fly, if its on AMC you know its the one with Vincent Price. Also if any of you fiends have not seen this movie it is a must see classic. damn someone should do a what to rent in horror movies thing for the bible. That in japanese animation. next you know fiends will be swarming blockbuster ;) Oh there is one interesting bit i wanted to mention. it seems that Drew Hayey, who created the Poison Elves comic on Sirius (orig. from I Lusiphur comic) is a Misfits fan, he goes on about them in issue #21 of Poison Elves before he starts the comic. its all part of a horrorable night out and some cover band. check it out soon since his series of comics goes up real quick in price. well its time to cut out.

I dont want to get started on a vinyl vs CD discussion (i do have a good turntable), especially on the Misfits Bible where most people couldnt give a shit, and this topic is beat to death on regular basis on REC.MUSIC.HIGH.END. Whether vinyl is "cooler" than a CD is really subjective, and i'm sure nostalgia for a simpler time rears its head in these debates, but if you look at the frequency response, dynamic range, longevity, ease of use, etc ... digital recordings perform better ... the numbers don't lie. As far as what people PREFER to listen to, that has no bearing, as neither analog NOR digital give a true represention of the original recorded event ... that has been proved by countless tests in which an LP, a CD and the master tape were all compared and in all cases, the master tape was superior. Both LP and CD have their strengths and weaknesses, and to say one is "better" than the other is really more of a matter of taste. ... In any case, Misfits recordings don't tax the upper limits of either format ..... you prefer LP, I prefer CD .... thats what makes America great .. freedom of choice .. whoever else wants to join this debate ... email me in private .. but dont waste my time AZ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 May 1997 15:30:02 -0400 From: Craig <@iglou.com:> Subject: 138..and why other things don't make sense This is my First look at the misfits bible and I could not possibly read all the post so if some of this stuff has been said already forgive me.. As for as what "we are 138"! means...I couldn't tell you, if you listen to it backwards the amessage becomes clear however; "YA he doesnt want you...." over and over followed by "your god your god" This also explains why other things don't make much sense because there are many "backward messages" on the misfits albums. Walk Among Us is an example of a master piece of backwards messages. In sculls for example "I want your sculls" is "Destroyer come out" And Twenty eyes is "I freed my anal" over and over. If you don't believe me just put the CD in you computer and capture a wav. of a some part of a song(especially a part that they singing stuff that doesnt make sense) then using you wav maker reverse it...Several of the songs are quite nice backwards as well as forwards. Ps..i have aways like to think that on "138" he says "we are 138" and some times "we are one diry ape" which would make more sence anyway.... ________________ Marduke 3;> |Criag 3;> ________________| ------------------------------ Date: 7 May 97 16:19:00 EDT From: AZawodny@mobile.bam.com Subject: money Hey Bobby. ... where is my peice of the $650,000??? :) az ------------------------------ From: Misfits555@aol.com Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 16:30:50 -0400 (EDT) Subject: looking for vinyl Greetings I am looking the Earth AD caroline repress on vinyl and for a Halloween 7" bootleg.

They know I want one and they know they'll be gone by the time they play San Fransisco. I already have bone gloves. Are they going to have more to sell on the U.S. tour? I went to a comic convention 2 weeks ago and it sucked. it was 80,000 square feet but I couldn't find verotik comics anywhere. maybe a Jaguar God 1 or 2 here and there but it sucked. I ended up getting a reprinting of the Mars Attacks card set, The Soundtrack to Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2, about 10 FMOFL magazines and some other things. Does anyone know of some issues of Famous Monsters (Tammy??) that has pictures of the Crimson Ghost? I know issue 54 has a full page picture of him with his arm around Linda Serling. Does anone know where the old Crimson ghost masks came from? Famous Monsters? I know Glenn had like 3, but he has 2 now because he gave one to this kid I know. At the convention I saw this guy running his booth that I know that knows Glenn. Glenn gave his son a Crimson Ghost mask and an autographed band picture of Danzig and I think the Misfits. His son is going to start working for Verotik soon. He wants to me to to the San Diego Comic Con in July so he can introduce me to Mr. Glenn He told me that Glenn have him a spiked bicep band that Glenn used to wear under his shirt when he was started to get big, he said Glenn would flex and it would pop off. Does anyone know anything about this? I've never seen pictures of this. IT must have been late Samhain. Tammy, dig out some of your FMOF if you dare! oh yeah, I looked all over the convention and I could only find Crystar Crystal Warriar number 5 and 6 for 25 cents each. I couldn't find 1 or 8 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 16:40:22 -0400 (EDT) From: ZOMBIES ate my brains!!!!

The two have nothing to do with each other.

Way in the beginning of the Misfits bible some on asked what 138 meant. I wrote in response that in fact becase of the backward messages that it may meant nothing, because the song is a backwards message. If anyone want to try to listen to the song backwards just use you wave maker to reverse the song once you record it in a wave...note that the Songs are very clever in the way they make sense forward and still have a message backward so you must listen very carefully...here is the Backwards lyrics on "we are 138" as I hear them this is to help anyone that may want to hear the song backwards. Note: Danzig ether says "Yahweh doesnt want you" Yahweh being the Jews and therefore the Christians god, not in hebrew but in "Aramic" I believe. or "YA he doesnt want you" ether way Danzig is Refering to god 3;> Him him him him him <---the 8 8 8 at the end of the song...possibly a reference to the destroyer... Ya he doesnt want you Ya he doesnt want you ya he doesnt want you ya...he docents want you Your your god the god of you ya we worship Satan my god is the devil Ya my god he grows with my sin he wants the death of you you'll cower when he gets you your god don't want you ya..he doesnt want you (repeat)...music fades Other good song to listen to backwards are All most all of Walk Among US for instent Backwards gradication play Skulls backwards(the WAU version is the best) ____________ Marduke 3;> _____________ P.s. sorry for any of that may have already been posted for I just found the bible today and there are many post that I haven't been able to read yet ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 15:33:30 -0400 (EDT) From: "Russ... but probably Bryan" Subject: Back in the USSA Hey homeys.

Mechanix can be found on Megadeth's 1st album "Killing Is My Business. ...& Business Is Good" It is not a "Demo" version but rather one of the few (only?) musicl scores that Dave Mustain took w/him when he left Metallica. Dave was their first guitar player (before Kirk) and was given credit for writing on "Kill 'Em All" and "Ride The Lightning" If you are into Metallica find the album 'cause it is kinda wierd to hear "Mechanix" after hearing 4 horsemen for lo-so-many years. And it is played faster which is cool. Kinda reminds me of Bobby Steele vs. Jerry Only vs. Glenn Danzig 'cause there has been a Dave Mustaine vs.Metallica thing going on since about '83. So many different stories, so many different takes... ...and US.......Left to wonder......

Jerry has just stepped in to reap the financial rewards for > something that I have been the primary one responsible for keeping alive. You've got to be kidding, Bobby. Last time I checked, Metallica was the big name band that endlessly plugged the unholy hell outta The Misfits, leading to the conversion of a whole slew of new fiends, myself included. Not to knock what you were doing, or the fiends that were fiends before Metallica even existed, but I think it is fairly well-established that Metallica pretty much single-handedly brought about the revolution that led to a more widespread acceptance of how great The Misfits were, leading to the much bigger following that the 'fits enjoy today. It's kinda like something that Jerry once said, that Metallica led a lot of people to The Misfits, but The Misfits were the ones who kept the new fans because they didn't suck. Point being though is that if you ask me, Metallica is primarily responsible for keeping it alive by bringing in new fiend blood. (And don't bother to respond with something stupid like "No one asked you.") > So, when you complain about the Misfits coming back for money, it not their > fault because it is really just a current trend in music. But just because it's a current trend in music doesn't mean it's not open for scrutiny. Are you saying that we should like all the mainstream shit that comes out endlessly recycled just because it's "just a current trend in music"? Don't get me wrong though; personally, I'm not (completely) opposed to the Newfits...I'm just making a point. > .. You say formerly of Megadeth .. did that band break up? Nope.

I grew up watching Vincent Price and Hammer Films but there are probably alot of underprivileged people out there who were not so lucky. So many movies, so little time! 1) The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) Vincent Price..need I say more? 2) The Atomic Brain (1964) The name says it all 3) Astro-Zombies (1967) Tura Satana stars and kicks ass as usual 4) Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959) This movie really scared me once 5) Babette (1967?) Ultra-cool and sleazy flick about big city sex addict 6) Beneath the Valley of the Dolls (1970) Sex, drugs, bisexuality, and a grand beheading with a sword... 7) Blacula (1972) It doesn't get campier than this, guys 8) Blood Feast (1963) The one that started it all...that blood looks so FAKE 9) Blood Orgy of the She-Devils (1974) See it for the title and the busty babes 10) Bloodsucking Freaks (1975) I can't help but love it...torture, blood, cruelty 11) The Brainiac (El Baron Del Terror) (1961) Probably the first horror movie I ever saw, it brings a tear to my eye. Being of Hispanic origin, I am very fond of Mexican horror and prefer the Spanish version. Awful paper mache mask, long forked tongue, and bad English dubbing make this a MUST 12) Bride of the Monster (1956) Poor Bela..you can almost smell the death on him here, but he is great nonetheless I am only listing movies made before 1976 since I would hope you have seen anything after that year. Next time I'll continue with the C's. Does anyone out there think Joe Bob Briggs is as cool as I think he is?

They wouldn't know good music if it walked up and bit them on the ass. It's the same with spin magazine, they're so obsessed with trying to be "cool" they have no objectivity whatsoever. Anybody who actually "reads" these magazines is just as vacant-headed and moronic as the people who print that crap.

Has anyone heard Atari Teenage Riot? Their CD 'Burn, Berlin, Burn' is insane. And it sounds like at the begining and end of 'Not Your Business' they've sampled the opening riff of 'Who Killed Marilyn'. There's Bad Brains and Sex Pistols samples all over the rest of it as well. Sorry I don't have an opinion on the new Misfits CD because, well, I just don't care anymore. Although I do think the whole Static Age + 3 new tracks re-issue thing seems *very* unusual.

Anyone who can find copies of American Psycho on red vinyl after it comes out, PLEASE let me know! I'd love to get it. Same with Static Age when it comes out. Also, I downloaded the 8 wav files from Scooter's Homepage, and, so far, I really like what I hear! I have to admit--it's quite different, but the catchiness and campy horror style doesn't seem to have left them. If this is the case on the whole album, then it's a winner in my book! I'll make sure to review American Psycho, the Violent World tribute, and the 4 Hits From Mars tribute for the next issue of Vibrations of Doom Webzine www.kmf.org/~cl/vod_home.html Oh, and don't worry about Rolling Stone. If I'm not mistaken, you see how Natalie Merchant's CD "Tigerlily" was way up there in the charts, even though they gave it a star and a half (I know, this really has nothing to do with the Misfits, but it's almost the same case--at least to me it is). One more thing--something to ponder on here. I think one reason why Glenn would not get back together with the Misfits is because they are on Geffen Records. I remember him saying in an interview several years ago (around the time of Lucifuge) that he hated David Geffen and did not want to deal with him. His opinion, I guess. I think the Misfits are better off without him. Let's face it--it's a new band, a new beginning, but it's all in the same vein!

Well, there's probably been a million postings about the show in Vanersborg, but I've been having comp problems for a while now, so I haven't read any. Here's my views on the event in question. This evening fucking rocked, man. A lot of bands, mostly hardcore though. Come to think of it, it was only hardcore with a couple of exceptions. The first bands I missed, but what the hell. I was there for the Misfits. The final three bands (Integrity, Refused and The Misfits) played full sets. Refused, the second last band, had a cool comment about playing in between Intetgrity and Misfits: "...we end up playing between the tough guys and the _really_ tough guys..." The audience laughed... After the Refused show, I got my records, which I had brought in case I would have the chance to talk to the Misfits, and placed myself outside the backstage area. The security guy who would keep guys like me out of the backstage area said I wasn't going to get a chance to come in. We'll see about that... Finally, I spot Jerry in there and calls out to him and asks if the guys could sign some stuff. No problem, just come on in. I try to get in, but the guard, who looked quite annoyed that I bothered the main band just 20 mins before the show, stops me. Then Jerry comes to the rescue! "Hey, let him in. Just this one." The guard just shrunk to about 2 inches in height and let me in... Ha! In your face, muthafucka! Jerry was cool as hell, and took me into the Fits dressing room, where all the guys signed my entire vinyl collection + my jacket. They were very cool to talk with. One of the organizers wanted to take some pictures and even asked me to be in the picture with the Fits. Unfortunately I said I wasn't part of the crew. Dammit! After that I left and let Jerry keep my gold pen, since he asked if he could keep it. On the way out I just laughed at the security guard. The show fuckin killed every concert I've been to. The songs, of course, were excellent. The guys really gave it all they got, and they looked really happy. The crowd just went fucking nuts and sang along to all the old songs, and even to the refrain in a couple of the new songs. The only song I missed was "She", but what the hell. I had gotten my stuff signed, so I was just happy as shit. The guys came back for an encore, and finished off with "DDMD". Then Doyle threw his neck sweatband into the crowd. With a fucking acrobatic jump I caught it! Man, was I in heaven! Then the guys left for Stockholm I believe, 'cause they didn't stay on stage afterwards. I received a number of hugs and kisses by fiends who "wanted to share my joy of catching the sweatband". Nice :) All in all, a fucking great evening. If any of the fiends out there gets hold of a video of the show, I gotta have it! Well, that's my 2 cents. Hope you could bear with me, since this was a little late, I presume. Fuck it up!

Well i was listening to the undead yesterday, and i realized that Glenn was not the only misfit to mumble lyrics. At one time, before i had bought "Act your rage" on vinyl, i had no lyric sheet. I remember singing the lines of "Eve of Destruction", like: "You can eat your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace." and "Even the Jordan river has violent floodings, but you tell me...." and many other Misfits/undead/samhain songs. Michale also does this. I got the Amer. Psycho promo a couple of weeks ago, and it sounds like Mike says: "Don't open till tuesday, the instructions, my father wait!" (Don't open Till Doomsday) Just to add my two cents, American Psycho is fucking awesome! A lot better than i had expected. Every song sounds great. There are no filler songs on this album, and no off the wall songs (except for "Day of the Dead"), which is awesome anyway. I'm sure alot of people are going to compare that song to "Amer. Nightmare", but oh well. I remember at the 10-30-96 Memory Lane show, where they played "Amer. Psycho", (instead of "the haunting" as requested by me. Jerry gave me some lame excuse after the show like it's hard for Michale to sing it live or something. I think he was kidding.) and thinking how good of a song AP was, but on the CD it's even better. Overall the whole CD flows perfectly. Personally i love the new Misfits. And dare i say it, but i think this may be one of the best, if not the best Cd's the misfits have ever put out. Don't get me wrong, I love the old stuff, and "Static Age" will probabaly always remain my favorite. Besides I've invested too much money into 7"s and 12"s to not like them. Don't flame me for this it's just my opinion. But don't take my word for it. Go buy the CD on tuesday, and see if you agree with me. Also check out Geffen's page, it's great. www.geffen.com What's up with Doyle von Frankenstein? Does anyone know what the bonus song on the vinyl of AP is going to be? If you check out mark's page he list's about 4 or 5 songs that were recorded for this album, that are not going to be on AP. Like Angel Baby, Death of the fallen angel, Talons of steel, etc. And what about the 7 songs recorded last year, and the two Iggy Pop tunes? I guess all things in good time right. -Later Drew Alcoholocaust ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 May 1996 12:24:17 -0400 From: aaron pacitti Subject: NEW to everyone who i have outstanding deals with or anyone who will need my address... my new email addy is npacitti@msn.com ================ please mail me at that one to check up. aaron ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 May 1997 00:39:20 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: This is way to confusing... Hello fiends... first thing, well i hate to break your heart Tim, but the version of Green Hell that was on "MONDAY" and only monday, was the original 1940 version with Vincent Price and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. not the one about the giant Wasps. Though if you read the lyrics to the song, i don't think that Glenn was reffering to a movie about giant wasps. David, well the phone # for Taang is 619-499-5156, i tried e-mailing them, but there is still something wrong with the e-mail from their web page. Also, Taang is no longer in MA, they are now in CA. I still don't understand that one, a label famous for Boston Hardcore and now they are located in California, go figure! Ask for Curtis, or if he's not around and Scott is still doing mail order. By the way, posted on the web page is the location of their store, yes they have a store that sells classic vinyl as they put it. Just to clear some stuff up, i usually do not flame fiends for no reason what so ever. there is a reason, if you have been reading the bible since last year and knew the on going bullshit from Blag. otherwise and please don't take this as a personal attack, please take your nose out of this situation. I really feel no need to justify what i say to anyone, again there is reason and has nothing to do with protecting Bobby, he can do a nice job of that on his own. Misfits 101... Record Conventions... plus some other stuff Well as we hit the weekend again its time for some record cons. May 10, Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Louisville, KY; Lewiston-Aubum, ME; Wayne, NJ; NYC, NY; Charlotte, NC; Greenville; OH (10 - 11); Chambersburg, PA; May 11, St. Paul, MN; Lancaster, PA. that is it, and just a reminder so that i don't get lots of e-mail asking if these are tour dates for the Misfits in the US again. THis is the deal, these dates are for RECORD CONVENTIONS, if you want to go just e-mail me the city you want to go to and i will give you the info (time, admit fees, and addresses). Best bet, go when it first opens, keep yourself level headed, ie don't go nuts from seeing all the tables and boxes of records, start with the first table and go through the records, also ask the dealers if they have anything from the Misfits, Samhain, Danzig or whatever you really want. don't get over worked when you ask and they say yes. its a bad version of playing poker, you don't want to lead them on and then have them jack up the price. or worse, they have no clue the value and you triger their minds, wait this stuff might be worth something. Plus the usual, if you see something you want, decide then and there with the record or what not in hand. once you put that puppy down kiss it goodbye. We have talked trading before, but not what would be an equal trade for a Misfits record. If i was trading a copy of Cough/Cool, what would you give me? What non Misfits record is worth the quaoted $425? Think about it, and this will be on Monday's Bible. What is an equal trade for Misfits records, ie. Misfits 101! Hope all of you fiends have a great weekend, see ya back on Monday.

While they were both denouncing THE MISFITS; I was I sometimes wonder if Jerry's anti-Misfits coments during the 1980s were not simply intended to lash out at Glenn. I don't have any exact quotations, but if I'm wrong, then all of that "Christian righteousness message" he was preaching against the evil of the Misfits and Samhain was either the product of dementia, or a joke. As for Glenn, he seems ready to talk about the Misfits, under the right circumstance. (ie: don't walk up to him and start asking about 15 year-old news). > > touring and keeping the legacy alive by playing MISFITS songs for our Samhain and Danzig also performed Misfits songs regularly, at least until Danzig had enough original material of their own. > > fiends. Jerry has just stepped in to reap the financial rewards for Well, you obviously believe that Jerry's refounding of the band is more than coincidental with the recent retro-punk explosion, and the financial gains he stands to make are obvious. However, many people seem to overlook the fact that Jerry couldn't reform the band until he had the legal rights to the name -- in March of 1994. (? Mark, correct date?) > > something that I have been the primary one responsible for keeping alive. ??? No offense Bobby, but prior to hooking up with Mark, I never knew that you and the Undead were still around. Nor, I think, did most of the people currently into the Misfits. If anything kept the Misfits' legacy alive, it was Glenn's (re-)release of Misfits records, his continued production of Misfits t-shirts, the success of Danzig, and the support of Metallica. Now it's time for 10-15 idiots to post messages bragging how they were around for the original Misfits in the early '80s, or how they discovered the band through some non-Danzig, non-Metallica, non-mainstream way. Too bad such people are very insignificant drops in a vast ocean. > x> Then he stole about $70,000.00 of my share of the $650,000.00 advance > > that CAROLINE paid for the box set.

I don't claim to know anything about Caroline or the record-company business, but wouldn't they have to make the cheques payable to each individual member? If so, how could Jerry exert any influence over anyone else's share? Also, it's no one's business but yours, but I find it hard to believe that the individual Misfits (or Caroline for that matter) made that much money off the box-set. I especially find it difficult to believe that the members got that much since only Glenn appeared on every song on the set, and he gets double (40%) of what the others do. (Although he, too, claims to have received nothing). > > From: gorgo > > don't worry too much about rolling stone giving american psycho one > > and a half stars. when danzig 1 came out, it only got one star. Wrong. Three and-a-half stars, and the absolute only criticism the reviewer made of the album was that Albert King was not credited for writing "The Hunter." But this is totally irrelevant anyway, since Rolling Stone probably employs many album-reviewers, especially over the nine-year period that separates Danzig and American Psycho. Album reviews (or anything else you read) are the opinion of the individual author, not a corporate entity. -Brett ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 May 1997 00:30:20 -0400 (EDT) From: BF Subject: Re: Misfits Bible #332 > From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) > well i hate to break your heart Tim, but the version of Green Hell that > was on "MONDAY" and only monday, was the original 1940 version with > Vincent Price and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. not the one about the giantWasps. > Though if you read the lyrics to the song, i don't think that Glenn was > reffering to a movie about giant wasps. Of course, we all know that the lyrics to "Green Hell" (and most other EAD songs) that are in the box-set are 80% wrong, so we'll never know to what Glenn was referring. On another note, not necessarily related to any issue of the Bible in particular, I must say this: There is way too much useless, totally unrelated garbage on the Bible. This has been going on for well over a year now, and although most of the flaming stopped after Mark tried to clean the Bible up a few months ago, it still takes me a good 1/2 hour to sift through the pointless messages, most of which are filled with horrid spelling and indecipherable nonsense. I am a fast reader, and it takes that long, sometimes longer. Worse, I come away with little or nothing of value that I didn't already read elsewhere. People seem to be obsessed with posting their idiotic stories, theories, and and jokes; everything from an uninteresting anecdote about how some "poseur" at some school dares wear a Misfits shirt, as to how many incidents in which the average moron can uncover the number 138 in a given day. It was never funny the first time, and it's just getting older and stupider. Misfits, Undead, Samhain, Danzig, Chyna, Bighouse, etc. -- all of these qualify for inclusion in the Misfits Bible. Metallica, Motley Crue, and the tv show CHIPS do not -- or at least do so only in *extremely* limited circumstances. When I say "limited" I mean that a Metallica reference better be centered around them covering Misfits songs, or appearing on-stage at a Samhain show, etc -- if you are reasonably intelligent, then you get the picture. Mark, you said you don't want to censor postings. Don't censor; edit. There is a difference. Eliminating pointless junk is not censorship, since you would not be excluding posts on the basis of the opinions they present, but rather on whether those opinions are of interest to the average reader of this list. Like it or not, you started the list, and you are its editor. Just a suggestion. -Brett ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 May 1997 12:41:52 +0100 From: Jake Starr Subject: MARK! mark, the washington city paper just anounced the misfits playing at the 9:30 club on july 3 with d-generation and damnation a.d. opening. so much for letting local bands open for them on the road! now i'm pissed! -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Jake Starr/ADAM WEST * Fandango Records * 1805 T Street, NW #A * Washington, DC 20009-7128 * (202) 483-0065 * e-mail: jyas@loc.gov * http://www.access.digex.net/~yield/adamwest.html * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ------------------------------ From: David Marek Subject: Pushead Discog/Comics Date: Fri, 9 May 1997 10:26:00 -0500 Two items for ya today.

Brad and myself worked on the songs She and Skulls, and brought in a bassist to do some live stuff. Well, we went and got a 4 track one night, but then 4 other people show up right when we (Brad and me) were about to record. Well, anyone in a small band can tell you that when you tell people you're trying to get on a CD Comp., everyone tries to get in on the act. So, we humored them and came up with a poor recording. The guy who's never played the songs turned his guitar up loud and played it with a "wokka-wokka" sound. It blew. The next night, Brad and me rushed to geta good cut with just us--unfortunately we recorded bass/drums at the same timeinstead of guitar/drums. We took the first cut of 'she' on the tape...

I talked to the guy who says he's going to be the singer but he has no band, just himself. That was a while back so if he has a band now then maybe it's true, but I doubt it. Anyone out there who actually knows Steve Zing, can you ask him and let us all know if this guy is for real? Or better yet, ask Glenn if he can sing as good as he did.

It is inevitable that he who by concentrated application has extended this limit for himself, should arouse the resentment of those who have accepted conventions which, since accepted by all, require no initiative of application. And this resentment generally takes the form of meaningless laughter or criticism, if not persecution.

Anyone who thinks the Electric Factory is the best venue in Philly just hasn't been to enough shows. Granted the Troc isn't much better and is basically the only venue large enough to hold one of the band's shows, the Electric Factory isn't the answer. I've seen many shows there (including CIV and Orange 9 who aren't all that similar to fugazi) and the place sucks "and thats the bottom line cause STONE COLD said so..." There's no way in hell I'd attend a Misfits show there... but thats just my opinion and if you don't like it... I could almost care. xDisco Infernox ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 May 1997 00:48:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Daniel Herrmann Subject: Shut the fuck up already!!!! God damn!! If we added all the "2 cents" people have put in about American Psycho, I bet we would make around $138. To all those people who have been fortunate enough to hear the "promo copy" or whatever, quit your bitching!! Fuck. Give the rest of us "unlucky" ones a chance to judge for ourselves. I mean, it comes out in on Monday (today by the time your reading this), and than all of us can judge on our own. To those stupid fucks who say stuff like "It's cock-rock-glamm-crap-metal, mid80's shit. Reminds me of Motley Crue!" Shut the fuck up!!!! And than there's those that compare it to Glen's Misfits. It's NOT supposed to sound like the danzig era Misfits, after all, he penned most of the music himself. The new Misfits are doing a hell of a job of exceeding expectations, all while being in the shadow of Glen. And than there's some people who say it's "kryst the conqueror with spooky lyrics", while they haven't even heard Kryst before! So to all of you that think the new shit sucks, hold your thoughts within your ignorant mind and keep the Bible free of "my negative review of American Psycho". To that hate breader guy - Why do you hate bread? and to Craig Wiecdorkiewicz I agree fully with your point on Metallica, but than you said - >When did this change from the Twisted Sister Bible to the >Motley Crue Bible?

There was a post on Bobby mumbling the lyrics on Eve of Destruction...the song was actually not written by the undead...it was written in the 60's or something...I had an old high school teacher bring in the album and play it, and she also gave us the lyrics...I remember her saying that it was an anti war song. When I heard it I knew that it sounded familier, but it wasn't until sometime later that it clicked that it was the Undead who covered it.

Shameless plug: I got a column in the Operator's Manual. I had to beg, plead, and go to Denmom and CG's private casting couch, but I got one anyway. First one = bad, but I take responsibility. It's still a fun read and I was mean and used the word fucking a lot so the kids would dig it. Next one = better. Come check it out. Since I will be a good boy and answer Tammy's record $$ questions... Folks, these records are certainly a varying value...there is no Punk Collector magazine with a going price, because finding an average price is impossible, save to say Americans will pay much less for these records than foreigners, especially the Germans and the Japanese and one Italian to remain nameless, all of whom will probably pay up to triple in some cases of what we'll pay, mainly because they are unable to find these records otherwise while we constantly find one or another in the $1 bin at the local record shop. The prices on these seem to be a matter of what you'll pay or how much the person can get. But in terms of trading there are certainly "tiers" if you will, where each record is on a level worth either a record of that equal level, or more of lower levels. This is probably the trading key. In general, I'd say there are probably four or five levels of American punk...I'll put records below that seem to fit. #1 (nigh-impossible: records in this catergory at the moment have in some cases ten or less copies circulating in the world. prices can reach up to $1000, and in some foreign cases up to $2000. bad sentencing there, sorry.) EXAMPLES: Tapeworm - Break My Face, Absentees - Tryin' to Mess With Me, Misfits - Horror Buisness (black vinyl), Hugh Beaumont Expierience - Cone Johnson, Vomit Pigs - Take One (the last record is debatable for this, but I've seen foreigners with $1000+ offers for it. The Eat's Communist Radio is steadily approaching this catergory as well. Thee other four are virtually non-existant.) #2 (in-demand: there are probably fifty or so copies of this record in circulation or in existence and accounted for, sometimes more sometimes les. often many of these are stashed somewhere, waiting to be found...ala the Gears, which was in huge demand until it was discovered the guitarist had 100, and plop, it plummeted. these are still so in demand they can get up to $300 US and probably up to $500-800 or so foreign.) EXAMPLES: Eat - Communist Radio (in my opinion the record to have from America), Misfits - Cough/Cool, Mad - I Hate Music, Child Molesters - Wholesale Murder, Dogs - Slash Your Face, Fix - Vengeance, Necros - Sex Drive, Meaty Buys - Cut A Fart, Huns - Busy Kids, Bobby Soxx - Hate In The 80s, Zero Boys - Livin In The 80s, Fun Things - Where Birdmen Flew, Eppu Normaali - Nipa, Cringe, et al. #3 (getting in demand or just located in mass #s: these records probably have more copies or are less in demand music-wise or have gone down because many numbers have been found, or are just easier to find with say up to a hundred copies in record collections worldwide. sometimes though it is because there are just discovered and will probably just rise higher in the future. often worth about $100-150 for the US collectors, can go up to $300-400 for those in foreign countries.) EXAMPLES: Panics - Wanna Kill My Mom, Sick and the Lame - Ate Days A Week, Misfits - lotsa stuff (this is the fiend level here), Rejects - Back To School, Dogs - Slash Your Face, Detention - Dead Rock And Rollers, Next - Mr Wonderful, about every other US KBD record and many foreign ones #4 (more recent or less interesting: this is where most of the hardcore records of old seem to fall, as they can't reach the real high prices, and there is also where records that are often from 77-83 but are either very bad or have just gotten booted with a perfect clone or whatever seem to go. Under $100 US, usually $50-75, foreign probably add $25-75 depending on the record.) EXAMPLES: Well, I was pretty clear before. For Misfits, say later stuff, I think Misfits stuff is selling for far more than it's worth these days, look at how common these sales are all over the world, oh well. There are paint smears, on everything I own, christmas cards to which I never reply... #5 (really recent or stupid stuff: duh). There are certainly many other things that fit into each catergory, but it seems as sensible a way as any to judge record worth, which is a very unsensible thing in itself. Oh no, the new Misfits record is coming out! ARGH! Music dies before us. Well, I will have to pick up the vinyl just to give it a fair shot assuming my advance tape had some serious flaws (maybe mishandling in the mail caused the overdose of cock rock, bad vocals and stupid lyrics, it's been known to happen) and I'll make sure to keep you posted on how well it sells in my neck of the woods, although it will be extremely interesting to watch the Billboard charts, it'll give me an excuse to go back to the New York Public Library. They really need to get some crazy library investigators. Also, I haven't bothered to read the Rolling Stone review because I'm far too prideful to touch an actual copy of the magazine, but if someone could e-mail me a copy of the thing, I would be grateful, I'd like to read it muchly, as it seems for once Rolling Stone and I agree on something. Those of you who like horror and appreciate that good comics are the stuff of the gods are highly recommend to check out Preacher and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, two of the only things worth reading these days. Also, the new series Squee! from the JTHM creator is friggin' aces too. And don't forget Scud + Stray Bullets. Comics are great. Finally, to morons using the Bible as a personal flameground, I personally couldn't care less as I just skip over your idiotic ramblings, and I'd encourage everyone else not to read such pointless dreck anyway. Just stupid little kids looking for attention. Seems to be the tagline for anyone whose address ends in @aol.com, or who mixes their name as the singer of a once-offensive band and the symbol of the once-powerful church.

But the singer's generic vocals are as likely to career into Dexter Holland territory or a pointless Elvis imitation ("Day of the Dead"). The band seems desperate to claim the Misfits' self-proclaimed legacy of brutality ("Walk Among Us"). But this album feels less like the Misfits and more like Elvira. There are few hooks and no memorable songs on "American Psycho."" But I think this sums it up: "All this longtime fan can say is, "Quick, Van Helsing, a stake." -RICHARD ABOWITZ, rolling stone Now, I know you guys don't give half a shit what someone from Rolling Stone has to say but I think he makes a rather good point.

I'm beat. Not like anyone really cares anymore, but my favorite tracks on AP are American Psycho, Crimson Ghost, Blacklight, Hate The Living Love The Dead, and without a doubt the #1 song (in my opinion) is Dig Up Her Bones. This song could not possibly kick anymore ass. I dropped acid one night and had my boyfriend paint me to look like the Pushead drawing (and model kit) "Rising From her Shadow Blood". Then he videotaped me coming out of a coffin and dancing to this brilliant song..my song. Hearing Michale croon "I have seen the demon's face" or "walk me to the graveyard dig up her bones" fill me with an unholy passion such as I have never felt. I truly believe this album will be the groundbreaker for Jerry and Doyle to get the fame, fortune and recognition they deserve. Mike and Chud are talented songwriters and Doyle has really sharpened his axe. I have been a fiend for 15 loyal years and will be there long after the dust settles from their explosive resurrection.

Subject: Just some more stuff to learn... Bible shit----------------------------------------------------------- Hello fiends... Well first thing, Eric, that guy that wants the Earth AD repress. Vinal Edge Records has them the last i saw in their ads. the # 281-537-2575 Mike, being that i just read your challenge i'll pull them out and post the infor for Wed. Bible, and yet i have quite a bit of them. well being that my mom got me hooked when she bought me my first issue in 1977. plus i have filled in several gaps with ones i got real cheap at some shows. i do know of several issues that have the Crimson Ghost, also in that spin off Forrest J. did before he started FM back up again. there were only 4 issues and one of them had a CG photo in it. Also there was a mag back in the day called Thriller something that had CG story for an issue. In the newer issues they FM uses a CG paying money to a hood and they linked it to their subscribtion notice. Though just give me till Wed. plus you do know there is a CG model that was put out some time ago and not by Jerry. I don't remember the name of the company right off my head but i can look it up.i think it was a vinyl piece since it was $75, and that is too cheap for a resin model. Plus to all the horror kids, who have cable and get Encore: this week you can catch The Abominable Dr. Phibes, The House of Usher, and still they are showing Phantom of the Paradise. Plus to all the Japanamation fans there is a new film floating around that Viz will be taking to video who knows when. its a great film if you know anyone with a copy of it. its called X - The Destiny War. if you know dealers who sell all the stuff for the movies, you can find the posters and wall scrolls for the movie too. the style is Akira as far as the anima goes. Misfits 101... Comparative Value... well as i posted friday and gave you fiends a chance to think it over, what would be an equal trade for a Cough/Cool. How many fiends would out right get screwed on a trade. Right now the records that are in the $400+ range are: Necros - Sex Drive, Fix - Vengeance, the Eat - Communist Radio, Big Boys - Frat Cars, Huns - Busy Kids; plus a couple others. Some say Nirvana - Love Buzz is up there but i've seen that go cheap - $300 or less. So after reading this, how many of you know of these other bands or even these records i'm talking about? You can't trade with someone if you don't the other records. cause there are few deals based on Misfits for Misfits. Most of the time its Misfits for someone else. Right now there's a guy on the Bible willing to trade(your in luck Misfits for Misfits) a Beware, what would you give him? its a $325 record, he wants Misfits 7"s. What Misfits 7"s would be an even trade for a Beware, or a single 7" an even trade? Give him a Cough/Cool you loose $100, now we would be talking color vinyl and ultra rare. Not even a White vinyl Three hits is up at the level with a Beware, $175 - 200 if you go by Glenn's CA standards. What if he wanted a non Misfits item. what would you do then. When i say you have to know other records and the value of what you want too, its right on the line. unless you feel the need to loose money. the Misfits 101 list on Misfits Central is only the first part of not getting screwed. The next step is knowing your records. Wed Bible we take another step into learning to really trade without getting screwed. By the way, for that Beware, i would say a White vinyl Three hits and a Horror Business would do the trick. Horror Business at its highest is $160 and never under $100 anymore. otherwise you would have to give up a couple of (3+ pieces) 7"s. IF we are talking a non Misfits trade, maybe the first Fear 7", or Hugh Beumont Experience 7". otherwise we would have to take a couple pieces again and that depends on the guys want list. Though most good collectors/Traders want the big pieces.

I guess I'm not making this very clear. Sure Glenn played some of the songs, but he refused to talk about it. Jerry did nothing. I did the songs and answered any questions. While Jerry had thrown away everything (practically) - including the only other copy of the Halloween 79 video - I still have everything . . . including posters that no one has seen since those days . . . unless they've been guests at my parents house. D-rod has seen some of these, one of which is in very fragile condition and I'm trying to find a way to preserve it.

That's the amount that both Jerry and Franche have told me. In fact Mark and EVB were witnesses to Jerry's saying that at the CHILLER con.

Again, they have NOT been mailed out. They were brought to the post office and supposedly mailed out about a month ago, but Doug Evil just recently discovered that they were still sitting there. Some of you have received copies indirectly, either through Doug or other sources, but the official mailing has yet to go out, due to some bizarre mixup. They'll go out soon. This is all I know. 2) Static Age - July 15th, on Caroline Records. 3) Be sure to check out the new Operator's Manual with the greates Bobby Steele interview ever. If you liked Mike Stax's interview of Jerry Only in Ugly Things #12, you'll like this too: http://www.magicnet.net/~othello 4) Samhain reunion - this is NOT happening. Sorry everyone. Steve Zing just emailed me to let me know that he thought it was a hilarious joke. By the way, be sure to check out his band Chyna at the Spiral in New York City on Wednesday May 14th (tonight!) at 8pm. 5) Tour dates for the US - I have none! The band is still in Europe, and when they come back I will get all the confirmed dates at once. Ticketmaster is apparently advertising about 5 dates that have been supposedly confirmed - 2 in New York City, one in New Haven, CT, two at the Middle East Club. When I have dates I will post them. Please remember this! 6) American Psycho is not out on red vinyl as I was originally told. I don't know the numbers yet, but it out on HEAVY BLACK vinyl with the bonus track "Dead Kings Rise." 7) Email - I will lose this email account at some random time during the next 2 months. I do not know when. I will also be going on various trips and moving to DC, so I'll be slightly busy over the next few weeks. Please try to keep email to msk4m@virginia.edu to a minimum. I logged on this morning and had 114 messages! It gets tough, especially when I'm short on time. I like hearing from Fiends though, and I'm glad to answer questions, but often the questions I answer have been posted to the Bible or are available on the web page. By the way, the web page is permanently located at http://misfits.plan-9.com/ and will remain at http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m for a short time.

I scanned through it and DAMNIT!!!!!!! This idiot- Opus just put in all these petty opinions from rolling stone magizine about how the boys in black just haven't cleared the approval mark for all of thier OLDER fans, and some of their newer fans. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE????? I still haven't heared the new album, mainly due to my location on this planet earth, but that's another story. So, yes, I don't have the opinion as to wether the album isn't as good as the rest of them, but still, get over the fact that Glen Danzig's an asshole and a half and doesn't give a flying fuck about the Misfits, and that Michale Graves doesn't sound exactly like him, WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU WAITING FOR? A FUCKING CLONE OF DANZIG?????????? You should look up to the Misfits, they've been through thick and thin and made it through.

And Karl Crisis has Cabal 315, I think Glenn would be in a little bit of trouble. That and I think Danzig could care less about what some relativley unknown band's Misfits cover sounds like. ------------------------------ Date: Mon May 12 15:32:58 1997 From: Jon Jorden Subject: SSD & Descendents talk about Misfits Yo... I was interviewing the Descendents (Karl Alverez in particular) and Al from SSD (what'd they used to call him? slammy? spanky?) happened to be there. Anyway the Misfits/Glenn came up... ---------- [talkin' bout having a band and restricting the drummer to a bare kit]... Al> Speaking of drummers, Where's Biscuits? Karl> Playing with Social Distortion. We're going to be playing with them on the Warped tour. I'm really psyched cause I wanted to see Biscuits... Should be totally fun to go see biscuits everynight. J> He totally goes off. Karl> He's one of my favorite drummers. Doesn't seem to matter what band... Al> And he's the gonzo of punk rock, let's face it. Karl> Yeah he gets around, he plays on a lot of records. He's great. Biscuits left the DOA camp specifically to do the Black Flag thing and then the Circle Jerks thing, and then ended up with ol' Glenn. J> What do you think of the new "Misfit" record? Karl> I haven't heard it... don't know anything about it. Al> Which Misfits? It's like the TSOL thing. J> Yeah, the rest of the band... Karl> It's Jerry and Doyle... J> And some new guys Karl> I haven't heard it yet. I was hoping they'd bring... Robo outta retirement. Robo's a great thing, he's so stern. Al (in Robo voice)> What is theese fruit? I doan know what it tis. Will you tell me what it tis? Karl> He has no idea. Al> No idea. Karl> He's great. Al> How come he doesn't know fruit? It's a fuckin' fruit. It's been growing for a million fuckin' year. Karl> He doesn't know, he's from Columbia and... Bill [Stevenson] joined Black Flag because they couldn't get Robo to Europe cause he Visa wouldn't permit. It's all functions of nationalities and shit...

The Jam"- Karl allroy@chop.isca.uiowa.edu ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 17:13:20 -0400 From: "Mikey Python" Subject: rolling stone Hey Fiends, Well, sorry I took so long about this, but I wanted to say it... Rolling Stone is stupid. Besides, didn't the original Misfits catch a bunch of crap from critics back in the day? The Misfits are before their time then and now. Critics are probably rant and rave about how "American Psycho" is such a briliant masterpiece in ten years like they do with "Walk Among Us" and "Collection I" Critics are dumb anyway. They give techno crap and Beck all this wonderfull praise, but when something that is worth listening to comes along, they shun it because it's not in the 'mainstream.' So, screw rolling stone and all their critics. I saw an "A.P." add in this months 'Alternative Press' (the one with L7 having their crotches licked by dogs on the cover) Just thought I'd tell ya. 'Scream Until You Die!' Mike PS-The "AP" stands for "American Psycho," not Alternative Press. just caught that myself. ------------------------------ From: ChristoTer@aol.com Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 17:21:29 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Newsletters etc etc To those wondering about the Misfits newsletters....ever notice the big "Bulk Rate" thing on the corner of all Fiend Club stuff? That means that they pay very little to mail the shit (rightfully so, too. If you were mailing about thousands of shit for free, you'd do the same, so don't bitch), and therefore the post office takes their dear sweet time with the stuff. If I'm not mistaken...postal employees correct me if I'm wrong....I think bulk rate stuff has "guaranteed delivery within three months." Seriously. So the fact they were sitting in the post office may not have been an error, even though they claim it to be. AND, besides all this. These newsletters are FREE, you really shouldn't complain. If they were charging $20 a year that'd be one thing, but this is free and it's not like there's anything in it you don't know, assuming you read Mark's posts and check the page every so often. Whatever happened to Steve Zing's e-mail account? Or does he just not post anymore? Hellnight is the bonus track on the CD, another is on vinyl. No edition contains both. Gramps--come on! Not all aol people are bad. A while back someone asked about the OzzFest disc. This has been out for a few weeks and no, Danzig is not on it. Even though I heard ads stating the opposite. There will be a free OzzFest 97 2xCD set to those who go to the show. Perhaps on that? But I can't see why, considering they were on 96. To all Samhain reunion believers---come on! Do you honestly think Glenn will let Samhain get away from him after years of fighting for the Misfits? Samhain was his baby, face it, there's not a chance in hell he's going to let a reunion (without him, which is something he has kept open) happen. And, I reckon Mark kinda shot down this rumor last issue anyway. Chris ------------------------------ From: Bob Dansby Subject: HOW I DISCOVERED MISFITS Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 19:17:22 -0400 I want to address the issue that all these little turds who want to complain about how someone discovered the misfits. If you discovered them 10 years ago or three weeks ago. Does it matter? This may sound stupid, but i discovered them thru saved by the bell. Jesse's brother had a evil live poster,I liked the poster so much that i bought walk among us. This was about four or five years ago.

Nor, I think, did most of the people >currently into the Misfits. If anything kept the Misfits' legacy alive, it >was Glenn's (re-)release of Misfits records, his continued production of >Misfits t-shirts, the success of Danzig, and the support of Metallica. I for one, who had heard the Misfits on the radio in the early 80s (i'll take one of those 10-15 idiot slots please courtesy of Pat Duncan on WFMU) but really started getting into them when LOB and Collection I came out in the mid 80s. Previous to that, the concept of getting any Misfits recordings was impossible unless you were a) a collector with the financial resources. b) lucky to find bootlegs or c) really lucky and find the original releases for affordable prices. I know alot of people, especially in college when the Metallica EP came out, come raving to me about those two Misfits songs. As "uncool" as it seems, Metallica was the best thing that probably happened to the 'fits, because it opened at whole audience up that would have never otherwise heard of them. Punks had known of them and their legacy would have died with punk without the massive Metallica exposure, and to limited extend, Danzig getting semi-succesfull as a solo-artist ... both really courtesy of the heavy metal crowd. then you say "Also, it's no one's business but yours, but I find it >hard to believe that the individual Misfits (or Caroline for that >matter) made that much money off the box-set.

I figured out that 50,000 box sets, times a wholesale price of $40 = approx $2,000,000 (pretty fancy math huh?). since they money the band got was a purchase of the rights to all the recordings, it would not have been tied into the success of the box set (though Caroline anticipated making a profit i'm sure).

Don't you know who I am? I am the fantastic Mike I. I have been Making Harlock shirts forever and the only reason I have not been making them since I got more paint is because I don't have any money to buy shirts. I am completely capable of making them. I am just currently low on money. Money wouldn't be much of a problem if HORRORKID would pay me back the money he owe's me! He still has not paid me the money back for the Star Wars Trilogy he supposedly sent me. Anyway....I don't want that guy (Mark Estes) taking business from me. So to all of you out there, there is a link to my Harlock shirt ad page in Misfits Central news section. I think I am going to be in the next Famous Monsters Of Filmland magazine, issue #218 ...atleast my name, Mike Inzerillo. I sent FM a postcard asking them to put some pictures of the Crimson Ghost in their Magazine. This would go in their "You Axed For IT" section where they print requests of pictures from Fiends. I emailed them an order and asked about my postcard and Ray Ferry replied and confirmed my order and said "we haven't got your postcard yet but we'll be happy to print a couple pictures of the Crimson Ghost in the next issue #218, see You AXed For IT" Get #218 when it comes out. It will have the CG and My Name :) Also, since I'm talking about FMOF. For those of you that have never seen an issue (they ARE hard to find) a lot of the Misfits originality can be credited to this magazine. Example: I have some old issues. In an old issue from about 1974, there is a section in the magazine where they list the fanclub addresses for actors. The section of the magazine is called "The Fiend Club" also, the word "Fiend" is all over the magazine. I thought the Misfits, instead of calling their following fans, called them Fiends cuz they were more obsessive. No, this was just a switch because "Fiend" works the same way and is Horror (you get what I'm saying I can't put it into words) I know a reliable source who says Eerie von used to call her friend Jeff and say stuff like "You don't know who you're dealing with, you better watch yourself" If you watch the Danzig 1 homevideo, Eerie does seem like a lowlife, so I beleive it. Eerie has been calling this Jeff guy because he wants Jeff to sing for him, Jeff is from Philly I think. I guess Eerie used to not like Jeff for reasons I forget. Anyway, sources tell me that Bighouse broke up because "They suck and can't get shows" That would Explain Eerie looking for a singer and moving. Uneasy Listening was pretty descent. He should dump the cowboy hat and go with that stuff.......a samhain reunion, this probably started because Eerie is looking for a new band. If Samhain got together, Glenn would sue sue sue. But Eerie's new band might do some Cover's but not be called Samhain. The info for you: In New York call 1-212-989-0869, They sell Evil Dead 2 posters for 35 bucks plus 5 dollars shipping. I do not know their name nor what else they sell. A friend gave me their number and I called, ordered the poster, and that's it. Go in Yahoo and search for REEL DEALS. They sell Evil Dead 1 posters for 15 bucks plus 5 dollars shipping. The above place might sell Evil Dead 1 posters....I didn't ask. I already have the Evil Dead poster on order from REEL DEALS. I'm looking for a Horror Business and NOTLD boot still; they'll pop up somewhere. ------------------------------ From: sistinas@webspan.net Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 20:31:44 -0400 Subject: send me please?! can someone send me a copy of the bible #332? i have mistakely deleted it :( and there was some information in there that i needed to show someone to make him shutup about knowing everything.. ------------------------------ From: Hrrmnn8or@aol.com Date: Tue, 13 May 1997 00:52:48 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Don't buy this (no, I'm not talking about American Psycho) I hope no one would be stupid enough to think that this is a Misfits album (and than go buy it) - Some album by SARA HICKMAN entitled ``Misfits''.

Quite why they decided to release it AFTER the band's two UK live dates is beyond me... but rumours that they've decided to schedule it against Hanson's release of 'MMMBop' over here are so far unfounded :) >>On the back of American Psycho, it says under Doyle's name, "Wolf >>Von Frankenstein".

I don't know if it's GEFFEN or the Disc Jockey Superstore I bought it at. A total of $17.89 if pretty crazy. I mean I'm gonna buy it reguardless, but one of two of them is making some serious bucks. This is also the same store I paid $74 for the box set, but it's the only store here that carrys Misfits stuff. All in all I really like American Psycho. I'm not going to go indepth about all the songs, but I really like the best: Walk Among Us, Blacklight, American Psycho, and The Haunting. The Haunting has been my favorite all along. The two I dont really care for are Speak Of The Devil and Hate The Living, Love The Dead. I'm sure I'll eventually like them. By the way, what about Dead Kings Rise? Not on mine, Hellnight is the hidden track. I noticed Mars Attacks is a lot slower than the version I recorded in Louisville last June. If anyone is interested in the Town Whore Records compilation email me and I'll give you the details. I was also wondering is any other Fiends on here own a Hearse?

I'll spare everyone the generic track-by- track analysis with such standard descriptions as kick-ass, awesome, and the old stand-by, punker-than-fuck. First of all, let's get the OPINION part out of the way. I THINK this album is solid and will definitely be in my disc changer for a long time to come. I love it. Special props to Dig Up Her Bones and American Psycho. The only track hard to get into is Mars Attacks. However, the facts are simply that this IS a different band, and these are different times. If G--nn D--zig was back in the band, everyone would complain that it sounds too much like D--zig. Stop the fuckin' comparisons. Just take the music for what it is. I for one, see this band, now, in an entirely different light, separate from the past. American Psycho definitely proves that the line-up of Graves, Only, Doyle, and C.H.U.D is an effective one, capable of making great music. I am already anticipating the next album. Basically, this album is what it is; stop comparing, let the past alone, forget about names and labels and just ENJOY THE MUSIC. ...Marino ------------------------------ From: EEdiot103@aol.com Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 00:53:20 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Whatever happened to "Dead Kings Rise"? and other stuff Fiends, I know--I'm probably the millionth person on this issue to review American Psycho, but as a CD reviewer, I felt I should put in my two cents. I've already listened to the CD twice, and it REALLY KICKS ASS! But I won't argue with ANYONE about the fact that they have changed because the changes are obvious. Hell, what do you expect if it's their first album since 1983? If you think about it, their sound changed a lot from 1977-83. The changes between Cough/Cool and Static Age are tremendous. Same with Horror Business (through Walk Among Us) and Earth AD. They changed and evolved throughout their early career, and 14 years later, they evolved even more (without Danzig, and his stuff has evolved too--not to say I'm crazy about Blackacidevil). Musically, they've polished up a lot! Doyle's guitar playing is a lot cleaner and heavier, the drums are better, the bass is better, and Michale's vocals have great variation with the music. Sure, they're not quite Danzig (some of them sound like his vocals), but his vocals work perfectly with the music. And I also see the slight resemblence to Joey Ramone. There are a lot more metal elements in the music, but the catchiness, the horror, the attitude, and the "Go-go-whoa-oh's" are still there--they still seem to be the band I know and love! "American Psycho" has already become one of my favorite songs of all time, if not my fave! I know there are other fiends who absolutely despise the new Misfits, no matter what I or anyone else say. That's fine--everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just thought it was great! Check out my review of American Psycho in the next issue of Vibrations of Doom (see what score I give it out of 100). I'll let you guys know when the next issue is coming out on the homepage. One note I want to add--when I met Jerry Only and the rest of the band in Atlanta last June, they were really cool. Chud took me backstage to meet Michale, and Jerry told the bouncers to let me in the bar area so I could hang with him. We talked for a while about what their plans were, what he thought of the music industry--everything. I must say--the Misfits love their fans! I really believe that partly had to do with them getting back together because they've gained such a large fan base over the years that would love to see them play new stuff. Jerry told me, "We want to play new stuff." Sure, he loves money, just like we all do. But from talking to him, he gave me the impression that he's not as much into it for the money as he is to play new stuff. I've probably written a book by now, but I have one more question. What ever happened to "Dead Kings Rise"? I know it was a proposed track--in fact, it was the first proposed title of the new CD. I'm just curious to see what happened to it. I think I have an idea what may have happened to it, but I'm not going to say. Gotta go for now--I have to wake up at 4:30 to leave for Georgia Tech for a day. EE Fiend ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 May 1997 22:22:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Adam P Segal Subject: New CD Are there any colored vinyl copies of American Psycho? I just got the CD and was curious. Anyhow, Graves sounds good when he sings in his higher range. These songs are typically shorter and more melodic. When he sings in his lower range it sounds a bit too operatic for my taste (like Iron Maiden, whom I like in general). There's a vocal coach credited on the CD, which may explain the effort at "real" singing. Nothing like singing lessons to ruin a singer! I just skip those low-voice songs and pretty much like the rest of the CD. Anyone else feel this way about high range/low range? -adam ------------------------------ From: GhoulFiend@aol.com Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 02:56:33 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Movies For Fiends Fiends, Let the D's begin! 25) Dance Of Death(1969) Bela Lugosi's last film was Plan 9, Boris Karloff did this right before he died. A Mexican made pre-decessor and influence to the Puppetmaster series. 26) Dante's inferno (1924) Go to Hell the silent way in this old tour through the Lake Of Fire. BTW, they aren't really naked. 27) Daughters Of Darkness (1971) There just aren't enough movies out there based on Elizabeth Bathory. 28) The Death Curse of Tartu (1966) Indian medicine man zombie terrorizes students. I don't think this tried to be a comedy 29) Deep Red (1975) Released as Profondo Rosso (a much bloodier version) in Italy, Dario Argento leads on a gore filled classic. Italians do blood right. DON'T MISS THIS ONE 30) Deliverance (1972) Backwoods sodomy, inbred jed, and Dueling Banjos should terrify anyone. 31) Deranged (1974) Tom Savini does the FX in this twisted tale. Check out the grave-robbing cannibal. 32) Devil's Rain (1975) See William Shatner battle Ernest Borgnine. Good against evil? Anton La Vey was the technical advisor to this piece of history. 33) The Devils (1971) I saw this movie years ago and finally remembered what it was called and saw it again. This is exceptional in every way. Vanessa Redgrave plays a self-flagellating nun with spinal meningitis who seeks revenge on Oliver Reed, a priest whom loves another, by having him accused of commerce with the devil. 34) The Doll Squad (1973) The producers of "Charlies Angels" ripped the idea off of this movie. Still, if Tura Satana is in it, I love it. 35) Dracula (1931) The crown of gothic horror and Bela at his peak. 36) Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971) This is so comical you have to see it. Some things mystify even me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- I'll finish the D's next time.

Just because he couldn't reform the band doesn't mean he couldn't form a band. Glenn and Bobby seem to have done all right for themselves after the misfits. Could it be that the only way Jerry could be in a band that has fans is to reform the Misfits. If he really cared about his fans he would've named his band something else and played, not wait years and years until he got the right to reform the Misfits. btw.

Basically according to my sources, Steve Zing and this guy --i don't know his screen name-- are trying to get some new version of Samhain started. I heared that it may be a counter attack by Glenn against the Misfits, considering there was a rough court battle and the profits from the whole thing got swiped out from under his feet. Plus the Misfits are not a serious band, Samhain was totally different as far as lyrical statements and meaning behind the songs,much more serious and to the point; which is one of the reasons Glenn left the 'fits in the first place. And as far as why a Samhain with no Glenn because the Fits you could see with out him but Samhain you couldnt, well, I personally am not complaining about the idea one bit, I think it would be a nice turn of fate, and besides, if that person was correct about Glenn having a producing role in this new band, it would be more Samhain like, unlike the way the Misfits have turned out sounding totally different, though I happen to know Glenn is a busy person and he has a tendancy to procrastinate sometimes, not to mention want things done his own way. You have to remember that Jerry and Doyle don't like Samhain too much, it was the reason Glenn left the Misfits.

Thank you. ------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 01:20:54 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: Just way to much bullshit... Hello fiends... First things to hit, Boy Brett you sure had a lot to say last bible. you seemed very eager to judge Misfits and Fiends alike. Well i'm not going to go on about how i came to be interested in the Misfits or any of that. But as far as what i post being relevant or not, who are you to be the judge of that? Last i looked the Misfits music does link to horror and the horror movie genre. Plus if you have not noticed this paticular topic has be part of the bible for quite some time. Plus assuming i got the lyrics out of the boxset is pretty sad on your behalf. The boxset is just a tiny molecule to the collection i have. Plus what point were you trying to make when you selected part of my post out of all and then to go on about how so much of the bible is totally useless. I admit that there are flames that are so uncalled for and some fiends would rip on others for no apperent reason, but if you out right say something you know that person is not going to be happy with once they read it you should expect to be flamed. So am i going to flame you, no. do i have an opinion of you, yes. you come off sounding like some POMPOUS ASS! so what if the bible is not 100% Misfits Samhain Danzig etc. if it was it would be dead, and its not realistic. we have close to 1200 fiends that read this thing, only 10% at the most participate and post. now what the fuck do you thing you would get from a group of fiends ranging in age from 13 - 40, and are students to professional working class whatevers. half these fiends are just learning info on their fave bands for the first time, and some are seasoned fiends who collect and have spent many a night at any number of shows hanging out with any member of any of these bands. so what do you do, not allow the new fiends to post since its not what "you" want to read. hey it may be pointless to you but obviously it was not pointless to them to sit and write it. SPELLING, such a horrible thing. damned those fiends to hell for not spelling correctly and making all those typos. Though i guess you never knew that most of us are human and are not perfect. There are some very well known fiends that have the greatest stories to tell, but their spelling and typing skills really suck. so what, you have to be pretty dence if you can't figure out what they are trying to say. So what am i trying to point out here, who the hell are you to sit in judgement of us. its not realistic to ever even thing that the bible will be the perfect little new letter you imagine it to be. Oh by the way as far as Green Hell goes, until you have seen the movie i am talking about and have listened to the song enough, then you can shoot your mouth off. The movie is not what Glenn is talking about, at least the second version of the movie. Simple version of what the movie is about. 1) wasps are put into a test rocket and are trying to be shot into space. 2) that rocket malfunctions and lands in Africa. 3) the radio activity does strange things to the wasps. 4) the wasps turn into giant wasps. 5) the wasps now go around scaring villagers and eating them. 6) the scientests who sent the rocket up in the first place go to Africa. 7) They find out what is happening. 8) End result they kill the giant wasps. On to, with the quest for CG in Famous Monsters of Filmland. thus far i have looked in issues #30 up to 54 plus all the year books from the 60s. the only one i saw was in issue #54 on page #45. Though the other magazine was Screen Thriller Magazine issue #4 and the same photo was part of the cover. As i mentioned before the other mag. with CG is Monsterama(which was Forrest's spin off when FM was not in printing) issue #1 page 44. Different picture than the one that is in issue 54. on fridays bible if i find anymore i'll list it then. Misfits 101... Values... Well your now at the point where you guys got to hear from me and even Gramps about values of records. Now where do you find this info on your own without the rantings of me or Gramps. First ask a lot of questions, if someone wanted to trade with me when i first started out, i would ask other collectors i knew, record store guys who really knew their stuff, Chuck Cleaver was always out right honest with me. He would give me the values of records that were being asked for in trade. Usually at that point i would be very pissed that someone once again was trying to screw with me. Perfect example, Kris McLauchlan and the trade for a Horror Business. He wanted only 8 different records, and they were all records that would equal a Cough/Cool in a straight trade. or 3 - 5 copies of Horror Business depending on the record i could get. Next, everytime i see an ad for punk and hardcore records for sale, i cut it out and save it. usually ones from dealer with good reps, or known record stores. i use those as reference. Also I was given a list that was printed in a collectors magazine quite a while ago, its the top 100 US punk and hardcore records of all times. it has accurate info as far as #s of pressings, full titles of songs, and other info. the only thing is some collectors do not agree on some of the placement and the $ values are in english pounds. though that is not hard anymore since there is a currency translator on the internet now. so with all this info you have at this point what do you do. sit down and try to match some values to get an idea. Look at the most extreme prices for Misfits items and the cheapest for them. Best bet is ask around the fiends with all the major pieces. Cause what i have listed paying for most of my stuff is not realistic. Most fiends who have a white vinyl Three Hits is not going to tell you they paid $30 and three 12" records from the SST label. EVB told me i was just lucky, Glenn gave me this look of utter shock and almost fell of the counter top we were sitting on. its not the typical pricing on the white Three hits, i was told $175 - 200, though i'm sure that there are some fiends that did not pay in that range either. I paid $200 on my Cough/Cool, which is a decent price, EVB paid $175, Curtis .from Taang offered me one for $175 but it was too late. I know fiends that paid double or triple what i paid. It all depends who you talk to. SO once you have a price range for the Misfits stuff and you learn about the other records its time to actually do a trade. and we will hit on that on Friday. Also Fridays bible list of Record Conventions as usual. Plus please remember they are not just for Misfits records and they are not US tour dates either. Later to all the fiendies!?!

Mike Inzo: ~~~~~~~~~~ Eerie Von is no "lowlife". And you're a chump for believing what you see on a video someone sold you as entertainment. I first met Eerie Von right after Danzig II came out, and I asked him about that very thing on the first home video. Literally, I asked him, "Hey, so Eerie... surprised to see you out of the house! Is it true all you do is sit around a drink all day?" He chuckled a little bit, and explained that he was pretty much just fooling around. (I mean -- what possibly would YOU have to say if some dipshit was asking you dumb questions in an "interview" taped for video?) Eerie was very talkative, asked about all this Misfits stuff I had brought for Glenn to sign (he's apparently a BIG fiend himself), and all around was THE class act of the entire group. While Glenn was aloof, John awkward, and Chuck didn't seem to be in his "fan element", Eerie was friendly, candid, and plainly having a great time meeting people and talking about music. You're an asshole if you're going to put someone down based on hearsay and blatant marketing ploys. BTW, a "reliable source" (my Aunt Petunia) tells me London May used to call her for phone sex back in '85. And he DOES look like a lowlife on the back of Samhain III... hmmm... Fay Beckman: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ You got it all wrong... the "cheesy" cover (painted by Basil Gogos, and intended to look like a copy of "Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine, from whence the Misfits got that logo) is probably the best thing about "American Psycho", cuz... AMERICAN PSYCHO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...well... okay, I'll say this. It doesn't SUCK. Not exactly. I'm sure it has its market, even outside people who are curious to hear what the "new" Misfits sound like. I will say another thing, though: not one thing about it even REMINDS me of the Misfits. Even the overdone "woah-oh-oh"s (I know they're spelled that way, they're on the lyric sheet) don't sound like the Misfits. The guitar sound is Metallica... I won't say it's "metal" because any metal fan on here ought to be able to admit that American metal is stale, not representative of what's really going on in the genre, and pretty much sucks all around. When I saw the NewFits live last year it struck me that their new guitar sound does NOTHING good for the Misfits' songs, and I feel that way even more now since none of the new songs even harks back to the old. Also, when you take the CD out of the jewel case, you see behind it a picture of Doyle playing his guitar with a bunch of hands reaching up and giving him "Devil sign". Doyle gets top billing on the back as well, which seems to indicate they're trying to position him as some kind of "guitar god" for the metal kids, which he clearly ain't. Michale's voice isn't bad... but he's plainly pretty inexperienced, and it doesn't seem like they really got his best performance out of him. On the whole, it seems like the production on this album was rushed -- or at least, not done with the loving care that any number of Fiends would have given it -- especially with regard to Michale's vocals. Still, is it telling that everyone on the MB seems so thrilled with the song "Hell Night" -- the one song on the album where THE PRODUCER GETS A SONGWRITING CREDIT? Michale IS something different... neither a Glenn rip-off or a complete change of direction in vocals. Lyrics are a problem, though. The lyrics on this record are complete corn. There is no swearing. There ARE plenty of silly Christian references, especially in the song "Speak of the Devil"... something about "Believers stand strong/ Be wary" etc. The hooks don't hook you. You can figure out the chorus of a song by its title. When you read the comic books Glenn Danzig writes for Verotik you might think his brain is made out of banana pudding, but his lyrics for the Misfits were 10 times more clever than these new ones. And in general, the song structure is all fucked up. Someone obviously told Jerry: "No solos. Short songs." So what they end up playing are these Reader's Digest condensed versions of Rockmetal songs, but without a proper song structure, no bridge, etc. To tell the truth, by track 16 I'm bored with the whole thing. If they're going to play with this bad style, they should have at least written a couple whole songs. "Crimson Ghost" is just awful. "Mars Attacks" does it one worse, though. If I had to pick a couple songs that I'd listen to off the thing (and humming it on the way to the bus stop doesn't count, cuz I get that way with Vanilla Ice sometimes)... I kinda like "American Psycho", and "Dig Up Her Bones" is probably the best cut off the album. (Oh yeah... my favorite song off BLACKACIDEVIL is "See All You Were".) BEST CASE SCENARIO AS I SEE IT: This album finds a market and gets some success. MTV plays a Misfits video, then two. The people who are getting tired with the flood of pop-punk crap in stores start crossing over to the Misfits' type of sound, and get led into metal. Metal experiences a revival. And finally, the video for "Reverence" by EMPEROR gets play on MTV!!!!! Thanks again, Jerry! :-) I still support the Misfits and with Jerry & Co. the best of luck on their new endeavor, but I like the old albums thenkyewverymuch. All in all, listening to this album gives me the same sort of feeling I get listening to the last 4 or so RUSH albums... and fans of "2112" and "Hemispheres" ouught to know what I'm talking about.

Out of all the songs people listed as their favorites, I didn't see anyone mention Hellnight. Hellnight is by far my favorite and this is the song that stands up the Walk Among us stuff. If they can take more of a Hellnight direction, things will be great. What I didn't like is so much talk about God in the lyrics. I wouldn't have a problem with this if the lyric were somewhere else. Ressurrection is a good song.....but it's about Jesus Christ....not what the Misfits are about. Kryst the conqeror was anti misfits and anti glenn, that stuff belongs there. I think, Speak of the devil is also maybe religious. I'm like soooooo sure, they're gonna play ressurrection then play an old Glenn anti-god one. I looked at Misfits Central for song writing credits, they used to be there; so I can see who's responsible for those lyrics. If Jerry wrote ressurrection and Michale wrote......Hellnight then Jerry should quit writing lyrics. I think Chud wrote Hate the living love the dead, good lyrics meaning that they're like the old songs. What is Hellnight about? ------------------------------ From: Rich Hartwig Subject: First posting & comments Date: Wed, 14 May 97 15:02:19 CDT Hello Fiends! For my first posting I wanted to get a few things out of the way: If you are in the DuPage County area of Illinois, or happen to be cruising that area, tune in to 88.7 WRSE-FM to catch some of the greatest metal and Misfits in the area! We are often copied by commercial stations, but they just can't hold a candle to us. Check me out, I am `The Thing That Should Not Be' ...and check out Zork (fellow fiend and bible recipient). Zork premiered American Psycho in it's entirety last week...and we definitely had listeners rolling tape! I feel that Metallica DID in fact contribute to an influx of fiends. I for one became interested through Last Caress/Green Hell. It was Zork who nailed it the rest of the way home. Thanks Zork! I wanted to thank Tammy (tes777@bridge.net) for her comments in #333. I agree with the non-flaming, open-minded ideas/opinions you expressed. It also helped me to create this first posting. Again, thanks. I like the new album for what it is, a new album, a new era. Period.

It's alot different, and some songs are great. Is it as good as old misfits? not in a million years, but it's good for what it is, and god, i love those whoahs. Best songs are American Psycho, Dig Up Her Bones, Resurrection, The Haunting, Don't Open "til Doomsday, & Hell Night. Also, is it just me or was Blacklight alot cooler soundint last summer?

Subject: Heaping Pile of Faeces American Psycho is a pile of shit. I want to slit my throat. It is good that the Mishits are environmentally friendly though. They practice the three R's. Reduce--The number of good songs (none) and good titles (none as well) Reuse--Riffs, vocal patterns, as well as lyrics from old Misfits songs. Not a lot of this though because they could have maybe had a decent showing if they had done it. I like American Psycho somewhat because it is a rip-off. The title sucks. Recycle--Old songs. Dr. Phibes is ttttttttttteeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrriiiiibbbbbbbblllllleeeeeee. I try to forget the 80's but shit like this doesn't help me. Of course you are all welcome to your own opinions, but seriously, this album sucks. Some songs are catchy, but the lyrics fuck it up. Doyle has definitely improved.

Got A.P. a day late (I'm getting old folks, I forgot it was coming out yesterday), picked it up at a local indy chain store for $12.99, pumped it in the car on the way back home, and guess what? It's still the Misfits! Admittedly, first time out the opening instrumental "Abominable Dr. Phibes" threw me off, but for the rest of the album, the band on the album is pretty much the same one I "met" on Walk Among Us. It's great. Rock radio should be playing "Dig Up Her Bones" right now instead of Bush or Journey for the 1000th time. Michael Graves as a singer fills Glenn's shoes very nicely and doesn't have to rip off Elvis to do so. The backing vocals, even tho they're a little more cleaned up than the football-unison Misfits backvox of old, are what you'd expect real harmonies to sound like on a Misfits album! The choice of producer was cool. Daniel Rey manned the board for The Ramones, co-produced Soul Asylum's "Hang Time", and he did his usual good job here. Andy Wallace's mixing, well, we've heard him bring the ruckus for Rollins, Slayer, Nirvana, Sepultura etc. so he deserves some credit for this too. Great job, guys.

Unless it sounded like metal from the MTV music creation wharehouse, I gotta say I don't think I'd be complaining. Bottom line without Glenn they aren't the Misfits. In fact, if you ask me without Glenn, Franche + Mr. Jim they aren't the best Misfits, but I'll take what I can get. Will Glenn ever rejoin? I doubt it. He shows a little class. Thus the Misfits can never reach their former glory. Why? Jerry just doesn't get it. And since he is the official dictator-for-life of the reunited Misfits and has the other four on a very tight leash, it'll sound like he wants it to. Bad. > Basically, this album is what it is; stop comparing, let the past > alone, forget about names and labels and just ENJOY THE MUSIC. It's impossible to bury the past of the Misfits.

Read my column! > Most fiends who have a white vinyl Three Hits is > not going to tell you they paid $30 and three 12" records from the SST > label. EVB told me i was just lucky, Glenn gave me this look of utter > shock and almost fell of the counter top we were sitting on. Or if you're really smart, you simply pay $60, get those three songs and over a hundred more on a convienient box set. Leave those crazies paying $500 for something with a different serial number alone. Not meant to flame Tammy in particular or to really shoot off buckshot at most collectors, but to be honest the mental processes of paying obscene amounts of money to further a so-called "collection" is absolutely ridiculous. I'd like to think there are better things and more rewarding things in the world than spending $500 for nine minutes of music. I've never paid more than $35 for any record, and my collection is over 2,500 pieces, many of which are in the multiple hundreds. Trading is the way to go, people. And the one thing I truly don't understand is the concept of not selling these records later. If your goal is to get them all, good for you, you did it. Keeping them doesn't make much sense. If you were in the band, sure, I can understand. That makes perfect sense. But every record I own, including ones I was in the band or knew the band for, has a price. I have no sort of regret for selling these things...expieriences and the fun of collecting are certainly a lot more valuable, and money can be put to great purposes when the only cost is cleaning a record out of my house. I mean, Jesus. And the worst thing of all (and Tammy you are slightly guilty in your post) is bragging about your collection. I mean, what the fuck is that all about? I was lucky...I was there, I got most of these records at cost or free from the bands. Certainly luck is a massive part of it. Putting someone down for not having the original records is absolutely ridiculous, and bad-mouthing them for not knowing music as well as you do is equally ridiculous. I mean yeah, I have Minor Threat - Out of Step silkscreened with all four band member's signatures. Yeah I have a test press of Negative Approach's 7" and LP, both with John and Graham's signatures. Yeah I have everything including alternate vinyl from Infest, Crossed Out, Initial State, Neanderthal, Stark Raving Mad, Rattus, Gauze and a zillion more. Who cares? Not even me. I was there then! That's the only reason why. I paid low prices, or in some cases, nothing. Why brag about it? Oooh...I bought records in the mail, begin worship. To those just starting collecting, bypass the old stuff and collect what's coming out today. And in ten years you'll have it all, your colletion of 90s/2000 stuff will be as good as mine or others stuff from the 70's and 80's, and tons of memories and expieriences and other mental shit with it. Collecting stuff from your parent's or older siblings' era is just tossing clams to have a meaningless waxen slab. Saying someone is absolutely blessed with luck and bathes in four-leaf clovers to get a record for $30 and 3 12"s is a sad statement of current times. In past days, if you did that you'd be considered a fool. Aw well, live in the present, I guess. Strange days. Okay, guilty for that rant quality, but I felt something had to be said. Unlike the socially introvertic collector crowd who seems not to want to help but to be quiet, hoard, and rip you off (this includes many a distro head or newsgroup maven who puts up a front) I think everyone should know about good shit and fair shit, and Tammy gets credit for doing it. Although I admit, as I do occasionally, I re-stated myself a few too many times. Yeargh. Our Lord Spoketh: > 4) Samhain reunion - this is NOT happening. Sorry everyone. Steve Zing > just emailed me to let me know that he thought it was a hilarious joke. > By the way, be sure to check out his band Chyna at the Spiral in New York > City on Wednesday May 14th (tonight!) at 8pm. So trusting, is Mark. There are no unreleased Misfits songs...there will be no Samhain reunion...etc. Come on Mark, don't believe everything you hear. My two cents on the matter: Samhain has more members than just Steve Zing...if Glenn wants this band back together bet your ass it will...Glenn didn't say he'd reunite the Misfits but look what happened...Danzig the band is so godawful he'll go back to his second-best old project...there is a box-set coming out, is this a forebearer of the times? and is anyone else curious as to why it isn't out now? Hmmm. To say the least, I have a feeling Glenn has a few surprises for folks left. Me, I couldn't care less. But...don't write everything off, you underestimate the music buisness, which the Misfits are now unfortunately quite a large part of. Boy I watch too much X-Files. To quote the same speaker as above: "Do you know how paranoid you sound?" Yup. Scares me too. Secondly, my own topics, guaranteed 100% to trigger "bypass" in your subconcious: To the guy (I'm sick of cutting and pasting, sorry!) who said Geffen is making a mint off this Misfits release...what did you expect? When it comes to capitalism and money-making there are almost no people more skilled than those vultures in the music industry, one of the most fucked up and evil corporations on Earth. I saw the vinyl selling for $11.99 down at the store and immeadietly said "PASS!" I'll go to Vacuum and order ten great LPs for under $60 instead of blowing $12 on lousy cock rock. As for the CD, yeah, that thing is a total rip-off. Even if they got gouged by costs in any way (which I seriously doubt, as this is the big leagues and Jerry + company are a scruffy bunch of Babe Ruth players who bribed their way to the World Series) they are still making at least a $8 overhead on the damn thing. Take it from the horse's ass, CD's cost pretty much nothing to make. The profit? Goes to pay for all the records that didn't work this year, though I think that money would be better saved by firing the scout who picked up the non-selling band in the first place...kill record labels! "Limited" heavy black vinyl edition I seriously fucking doubt it. Limited as in 500K. Still plugging that Operator's Manual. What a great magazine it will be (and is and is!) That Bobby Steele interview should be tons of fun for you all to read. The best thing is that they haven't got to the part where Bobby obsesses on Jerry yet, it's all original topics, which makes it a helluva lot more fun to read. Hooray. I hate to abuse the rigorous bible rule of don't post off-topic, but I am still searching with no avail for a copy of the goddamned Assuck/OLD split. I have two originals of Necrosalvation if anyone wants to swap. Also digging through punk rock tombs in search of the Pack 12" reissue, I forgot to order it from distros and seeing as how I'm not paying big bucks for the original, I'd dig the reish. I'll pay up to $15 or I'll trade a CD or new LP or something silly like that if anyone has it. So, if you got either, please gimmie a buzz. Finally, I hate to do this, but if Norbert Sawall is out there, gimmie an e-mail, I haven't heard from you in some time and my e-mails to you have gone unreturned. My e-mail server sucks in a miserable way, as I get about 40% of the e-mails sent to me recently and people seem to think I just don't respond. So...where are ya pal?

I thought it was jerry and glenn that were the hypocrites and only in it for the money , well then again there goes Bobby with his own patented "foot in mouth" disease, you know bobby if you just kept your mouth shut for a little bit, then maybe you would get the respect you think you deserve, but when making comments like you did on your last post is the reason why most fiends dont like you or your pathetic attempt at music, i.e. the undead and times square, Bobby FUCK YOU and the fucking horse you rode in on, always raggin on people and then goin and doing the same shit that you claim they suppossedly did, heh heh chico, you are a joke. When are you gonna get it thru your hairsprayed hair that Glenn and Jerry can do what ever they want to do because they kick ass and you cant because you simply are a wanna be jobber? oh yeah Tammy, the wedding's off....lol, and as far as AMERICAN PSYCHO goes,. out of the 18 songs, only 3 suck and those songs are Walk Among Us , Crimson Ghost and Mars Attacks, the rest of the album Slays the competition, including you Bobby "choad" Steele, go back to your little hack band"times square" and pretend you are something youre not and that is a MISFIT! heh heh, later chico choads.... :) have a nice fucking day, Blag Jesus ------------------------------ From: ~*jas*~ Subject: American Psycho Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 19:43:41 -0500 yesyesyes... you've heard it all before...but this album kix ass. Despite what Rolling Stone said about it it got a B rating in Entertainment Weekly ("B-rating" how appropriate for a misfits record) which is really good especially for that mag. which is usually kind of hard & opinionated, but i don't think Michale sounds like Glenn at all anyway. I won't do a whole run-through of the tracks either but this is one album i can listen to all the way through without skipping...at first a couple of the heavier songs caught me off gaurd but after a couple listens i got used to the "heavier" sound...but i do like all the songs. Actually i think "Mars Attacks" is one of the catchier songs on there n' i really like it but then again that's my opinion. I'm not sure what else to say other than go buy it right now. -jas ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 19:14:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Daniel Herrmann Subject: "Just a suggestion" Hey Brett, when Tammy said this to me two issues ago - > well i hate to break your heart Tim, but the version of Green Hell that > was on "MONDAY" and only monday, was the original 1940 version with > Vincent Price and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. not the one about the giantWasps. > Though if you read the lyrics to the song, i don't think that Glenn was > reffering to a movie about giant wasps.

It is terrible. Down with the new album down i say burn it, ban it, get danzig back or ill kill Doyle Von Dumfuckstein, Jerry Only(c'mon guys use Caifa its a nice Italian name), Dr. Chud and Michale Graves. Maybe if they promise not to make any more new stuff and just play the old stuff i'll go easy on them. or maybe ill like the album in a month and forget about it(anything's possible) well whatever Mike Siciliano p.s. tell Mr. Graves to put a little more "Uh" or other incomprehensible Danzigisms into his singing and them tell all the misfits to stop getting "vocal instruction" like it says on the inside of the album!!!!!!!!!!! they sang fine when i saw'em on tour last June. ------------------------------ From: Saxton_D@mediasoft.net (Super Shredder) Subject: American Psycho? Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 18:29:29 -0400 What is all this about American Psycho "kicking ass"? The album is pathetic except for about 5 songs (The Haunting, American Psycho, Day of the Dead, Abominable Dr. Phibes and Don't Open 'til Doomsday). Couldn't they have used a different name or something? This is NOT the Misfits I have loved for so long and I hope that if they come out with another album, that it kicks the hell outta American Psycho. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 23:42:13 -0400 From: David Moon Subject: SHIT SANDWICH! Hey all you "fiends", Get your blow torches ready. The review of American Psycho in Rolling Stone should have been merely a two word review reading: SHIT SANDWICH! Who the fuck is Jerry kidding?(aside from a number of you) "This Island Earth" and "Crimson Ghost"? These tunes make "Hellhound" and "Wolfs Blood" seem totally brilliant. All these songs are just a little too happy and cheesy. "Mars Attacks" is complete and utter Spinal Tap. Nevermind the Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein thing being a random spur-of-the-moment joke, this whole album is a random spur-of-the-moment joke!!! Even the most descent songs on A.P. don't touch the old stuff. I saw Michale and the boys last year live and they totally blew me away. They were amazing. I was really looking forward to this album -- what a disappointment. Now I must take this opportunity to apologize to someone: Dear Mr. Danzig, I'm sorry I never liked your band DANZIG(it wasn't my thing). I am sorry for constantly making fun of your tough guy image and your silly songs about evil. I guess you really are the man. You were the Misfits. I just never realised this before. But most of all, I am sorry for the release of American Psycho. My sympathy goes out to you and your family in this time of need. To anyone out there who has not rushed out and wasted their hard earned money on American Psycho, don't do it! Wait for Static Age on July 15. You'll be glad you did. Criswell P.S. Flames will only be welcome from those who know where the SHIT SANDWICH reference is from. P.S.S. And no, I'm not punker than fuck. I just like music that takes some effort and intelligence to create. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 May 1997 09:19:06 +0000 From: Julian Baldry Subject: Eerie Von... lowlife? I don't think so. >I know a reliable source who says Eerie von used to call her friend Jeff >and say stuff like "You don't know who you're dealing with, you better >watch yourself" If you watch the Danzig 1 homevideo, Eerie does seem >like a lowlife, so I believe it. First up, the above may well be your take on things but I've actually spent a brief period of time with Eerie and I can assure you that he was/is one of the most friendly, down to earth and generous people I have ever met. The guy had never even heard my name before I met him yet he quite happily took some good friends (Hi PDH!) and myself to the studios he uses (also where Danzig made the first record) and even bought us all breakfast. True, that may not prove too much but I base my view on people on how I'm treated by them and that guy made us feel like royalty. >I offered that to Jerry. I'm really convinced that his motives are to >avoid giving me one penny - out of fear of the kind of competition I >could give him if I had some money to work with. That is plainly ridiculous. Bobby, you said it yourself, labels were only interested in Jerry (who, like him or hate him, DOES have a higher overall profile than yourself) if he could bring them the Misfits... why the hell would they give a rat's ass about some band you made up? Therefore, as Jerry is now on a major it's unlikely anyone would take an 'ex-Misfit' band on as both he & Glenn have now been snapped up... in other words, you CAN'T now compete with Jerry. What is more money going to get you? Nicer record sleeves, better production and promotion? Yeah, all of those. One thing it won't do is make your music any better, in fact, many great bands have turned to shit once they came into money... so maybe Jerry's doing you a favour :) BTW, there's really no need for you to go into a diatribe concerning your theories about conspiracies that exist within the entire music industry just to keep ol' Bobby Steele from getting anywhere. Julian ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 May 1997 09:43:47 +0000 From: Julian Baldry Subject: Kerrang! Magazine review of American Psycho This review has been transcribed word for word and the original does contain inaccuracies and errors... THE MISFITS - AMERICAN PSYCHO (4 out of 5) There are cult bands and then there are cult bands - and The Misfits are probably one of the most notorious and influential of all. Formed in 1977 by bassist Jerry Only and vocalist Glenn Danzig, the New Jersey outfit put out a handful of classic crash-bang-wallop punk records which now fetch quite ludicrous sums of money, and promptly split up in 1983 before more than a handful of spiky-haired oiks had even heard of them. Danzig went on to have a sense of humour bypass and a successful solo career, and that perhaps would have been the end of it were it not for the fact that Soundgarden, Guns N' Roses and - most notoriously - Metallica cut cover versions that raised The Misfits' profile to legendary status. If The Misfits had sold as many records while they were around as they did bootleg T-shirts and patches after they split, then they'd have been bigger than God. Up until now, that's the way most people thought it should have stayed - you shouldn't even try to recreate something like that. When news filtered through that The Misfits had reformed without Danzig, the only thing louder than the cries of dismay were the gales of laughter. But somehow, The Misfits have managed to return from the dead with two new members, and knocked out an album that, while perhaps not classic, certainly doesn't bring shame to their glorious legacy of brutality. The new drummer is Dr Chud, and he hits things hard, which is what drummers generally do. The new vocalist - one Michael Graves -on the other hand, has much to live up to. And do we dig Graves? Well, his voice isn't buried quite so deep as his predecessor's was, but he certainly gets away with it. And, aside from occasionally sounding alarmingly similar to Wolfsbane, all the songs stick pretty close to what fans would expect. It's still crash-bang-wallop topped off with a bunch of 'Woh-oh' Hammer Horror choruses and about dead dudes and all things spooky. There's even a nod to their past with a track called 'Walk Among Us'. True, American Psycho lacks a Last Caress, Skulls or Hatebreeders but it's big, dumb fun - just like their recent London show. It could have all gone wrong, like the pathetic 'Munsters Today' TV show which attempted to feed of it's '60s predecessor like an ugly, bloated leech. Instead, we get something more akin to 'Addams Family Values', not the same as the black-and -white original but well worth checking out all the same. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 May 1997 12:13:44 +0200 (MET DST) From: Franz Ardito Subject: american psycho I finally got the cd and this is what i think of it: first of all i have to admit that i had some doubts on the whole reunion thing and so i've listened to the album with some prejudice. Even more honestly, though, i have to say that american psycho is not bad at all. i mean what do you espect from the misfits? rocky punk-pop, simple riffs, and powerful vocals. Well, that's exactly what you get, so i think that all the complaints about the sound and shit like that are completely unjustified. If you look at it this album kicks ass compared to the majority of similar productions that are out today. It's simple, fast, direct power-punk, after all the misfits invented this kind of music, they have all the rights of playing it. question for mark: i saw the vinyl at the record store, and i've read on the bible that there is a bonus track on it. is it the same as the ghost track on the cd ("hell night" i guess) or is it another one? bye franz ------------------------------ From: KramerPunk@aol.com Date: Thu, 15 May 1997 00:48:15 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Motley Crue's pussy drummer When I sent Tommy Lee an e-mail (T Bone 00@aol.com) that asked why did the Misfits and Henry Rollins chase Motley Crue down the street before a show at the Whiskey, his response was "Those guys are full of shit! Never happened!" What a lying sack of shit. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 23:00:05 -0700 From: Greg Tice Subject: My Opinion Like most fiends I bought American Psycho on the 13th. The album kicks ass as long as you don't expect it to sound like the old Misfits. I detect some Motorhead and Maiden influence=) Graves is a great vocalist and I'm happy he isn't trying to emulate Glenn. My Newspaper gave the new album an insulting two out of four stars. The obvious reason was because Glenn was not the singer/songwriter. I've never trusted newspaper or magazine reviews, their always so biased. Reviewers all kiss MTV's ass and praise the mainstream shit. Mainstream is just a bunch of unoriginal fag bands that will be popular for 3 years max. The Misfits will survive every fad because fiends are loyal and will allway's support the Misfits. And an interesting story for everyone: When I walked up to the counter holding American Psycho and wearing my Jerry Only shirt the Cashier(brace your self)said the Misfits were just an older version of Marylin Manson!Can you beleive it. I promptly corrected him by saying the Misfits may wear makeup but they play music not shit. Not everyone can be as enlightened as us fiends. Sometimes we have to tolerate the common morons. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 May 1997 10:31:06 -0700 Subject: Hidden track on A.P.

I'm really convinced that >his motives are to avoid giving me one penny - Exactly This is what I think as well here Bobby. I just think that jerry feels it is his duty to support the family now and to do that he wants doyle and rocky. Now would you let rocky be your mgr? I am sure they have had probs with geffen over this. But he just wants to keep the misfits Trade Mark in the family, kinda like a family buisness. I mnean this whole Maxâs X-Mas is so simple to figure out guys I mean just look at it, why wont jerry release the normal copy? Cuz there is serious problems with the guitars, Okay lets translate that statement: I dont want to have bobbyâs guitar on this cuz I want My brother Doyle to get payed for this! I am sure that there is no hint of Joey on there either lord knows who is on this thing doing the drums! Bassically that tape is just a tape of Glenn singing acording to jerry . It is kinda like he wants everyone to get payed if he is related or close to them or feels like paying them and there is soo much ,more I could go into but that is all I will say about that. But as far as you are concerned Bobby it is just obvious that he just doesnt want to give you a dime, or if he does he will prolly give just a little of what you deserve and think that you would be happy with the scraps from his table! Or I have thought about how he feels about you, yoiur kinda like a bad ex- girlfriend! We have all had them I mean when you dump somone you dont want to see them riding down the street with brad pitt! But you did this to jerry you started a great band and rivaled the misfits, so there is no denying your talent, or comitment to a band. And wereânt those the reasons they gave for giving you the boot! Anyone who questions Bobbyâs integrity as a muscian or a person is just ignorant. But onwards and upwards I always say and getting to the new album! Now mind I am about to give my thumbs up on this! You may ask well how can I support this band when I know jerry is such a scumbag, well it is like this: I may not like what jerry has done to bobby or whomever but there is one thing I will always support and that is the misfits as an institution. Because I have never seen jerry be anything but great to any of his fans, sure he may stick his foot in his mouth from time to time but hey these are certified press secretaryâs here! Also there are 3 guys in this band who are genuinly great guys with a musical vision for that is 100% the MISFITS! And Their integity will keep me strong in my beliefs and love for this band. Besides all the politics and bullshit is just that and will prolly always plague the misfits but the one constnat that will always endure is the music, cuz when it all comes down to it the misfits are a beaste all its own. Glenn may have stole stuff but ithas evolved into itâ s own entity. So lets not get caught up in the politics lets leave that tarry caprezzaâs senate friends! IT IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE ABOUT MUSIC! Cuz trust me guys if you get to know people in any band you are gonna know too much and soon enough you would get to the point where you wouldnt see jerry only on stage you would see jerald Ciaffa in a halloween costume playing music to a bunch of punks and freaks! well this is my take on the new album. I LOVE IT! I have had some of the songs for a while but just haveânt said anything I figure I would wait till we had a free for all here. I love evry song, IMO the weakest song on the whole thing is mars attacks, I wish they had just used the old sessions version they did over the summer. Another this is that I really thought that michale was not going to be able to handle the writing like glenn did but he did! I love the lyrics to these songs. My fav tune is Dig up her bones, could this be a possible misfits love song? I mean the guy is so heartbroken that his woman has died that he wants to die , but he is too scared to kill himself so he is going to the graveyard to dig up her bones!Michales voice is amazing all the wooh oh ohâs are great the first time I heard any of these songs it was just when I first got into the fits I was trying my hardest to figure out the words and sing along with I thought was going on. I love it. When I listen to this record I am proud of the guys I seriously didnt think they could do it but they did. And now I anxiously await the summer tour and seeig as many shows as possible! Because I canât wat to hear this stuff live cuz they one thuing the did which I love is they had jerry and CHUD carry the backing vocals so it sounds just like a live >I still have everything . . . including posters that no one has seen >since those days . . . unless they've been guests at my parents house. >D-rod has seen some of these, one of which is in very fragile condition >and I'm trying to find a way to preserve it. It was silkscreened with >oil-based ink onto a silver mylar surface (only 5 were made) and the ink >is falling off. OH my god yes he keeps everything! The only price of admission is and open mind and money for dinner! The posters he showed me were amazing he still has everything! See the thing is about Bobby is the misfits will always be special to him and I will say it right now even after all the shit that he has been through he would go back with open arms to jerry and the fits if he was let, cause the one thing about bobby is he always believed in the misfits even when they bashed him. I am sure he still believes in the misfits now, I mean I know he doesnt like jerry but he likes michale and chud and doyle. >Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 14:01:18 -0400 >From: MK >:Subject: Re: Misfits Bible #333 >7) Email - I will lose this email account at some random time during the > next 2 months.

BTW..it's the first made-for-TV movie adaptation of a Stephen King story. 38) Driller Killer (1974) Don't leave a drill near a failed artist in Manhattan unless you want to look like swiss cheese. 39) Drive-In Massacre (1974) Once upon a time there were these cool places where teenagers could drink beer, get laid, and watch bad slasher movies in the luxury of their well-padded backseats. This would be one of those movies.... 40) The Dunwich Horror (1970) Based somewhat on an H.P. Lovecraft story, you'll recognize the original Gidget (Sandra Dee) and Al from Quantum Leap (Dean Stockwell). Who says horror movies don't breed talent!?!? 41) Easy Rider (1969) Would there be as many bikers in the U.S. if it weren't for this movie? Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper paved the road with this.. 42) Eaten Alive (1976) 3 elements of horror in this movie about a crocodile tourist trap. Carolyn Jones (Morticia from the Addams family TV show), Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), and Tobe Hooper directs (Texas Chainsaw Massacre). 43) Eegah! (1962) A caveman falls in love with a real groovy chick and all hell breaks loose. Now you know what Richard Kiel (Jaws) did before James Bond movies took him away. 44) The Exorcist (1973) My dad wouldn't walk down dark hallways for a month. The cross-fucking scene is not to be missed for those of us who blaspheme. So few movies are this scary and well-made anymore. I can never tire of this masterpiece. 45) El Hombre Y El Monstruo (1947) A pianist sells his soul to the devil to become the greatest performer with a catch..every time he plays a certain melody he grows a bunch of buck teeth and fuzz. 46) Faces of Death (1974) Except for the animal scenes which offend me tremendously, this movie is a dull documentary full of death, suicides, executions etc. I'm far too jaded for this but those of you who can still be disgusted should see it 47) The Fall of the House of Usher (1960) Great sets, story and a dark moody feel give this Poe tale a kick in the ass. Vincent Price is awesome and steals the show. 48) Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1966) This is one of the coolest movies of all time! ( Varla (Tura Satana the goddess), Rosie (Haji the muse), and Billie (Lori Williams the nymph) are strippers looking for kicks. Hungry for action, they meet with trouble each time they meet up with "squares" as they cruise in the desert. When Varla wants a hot dog, she takes it! When called a hussy, she B-B-Q's your face!

In case anyone is interested, here is the review of AP from PUNKASFUK! magazine (http://www.blclinks.net/~paf/)... ================================================================= MISFITS -- AMERICAN PSYCHO For a decade, the Misfits have been my all-time favorite band. Therefore, I approached the new _American Psycho_ CD with much trepidation. How could it live up to my, or any fiend's, lofty expectations? Without Glenn Danzig penning the tunes, and devoid his nigh-legendary baritone, how good could it be? Upon listening, however, I was tempted to proclaim "It's alive! It's alive!", because _American Psycho_ exceeded any of my expectations. The CD is remarkably good. Doyle's crashing guitars, reliable skin-bashing courtesy of Dr. Chud, and Jerry Only's menacing, omnipresent bass provide a thunderous tsunami of sound to back the furious howlings of Michale Graves. The songs are overall, quite good, and a few even rise to the level of excellent (e.g., "The Haunting," "This Island Earth," "Dig Up Her Bones," and "American Psycho.") Almost all of the songs are very catchy, and in that respect may remind the listener of the magic that made the Misfits so special in the first place. This is not the Misfits of days past, however. Gone is some of the lethal intensity of songs like "Bullet." Fortunately, though, this CD is blessed with excellent production, which the 80's era Misfits lacked. And purists need not despair because of this development -- _American Psycho_ manages to retain the energy and raw power absent in so many studio productions. Moreover, there are a variety of sounds on this new CD that harken to influences as diverse as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, late 80's thrash, and the original Misfits of various eras (particularly the Earth A.D. period.) Last, enormous credit should go to Michale Graves. Stepping in the shoes of Glenn Danzig was no doubt a daunting task -- one that required that he overcome the doubts and loyalties of legions of fans. With _American Psycho_, Graves should put all doubts to their much deserved death. Graves is no mere Danzig wannabe, as some mistaken critics have foolishly opined. Graves has an energetic and powerful voice that is as fresh as it is unique, and has proven that, for the Misfits, there can be such a thing as life after Danzig. Highly recommended. ERNST VON HEIDEGGER ================================================================ ------------------------------ From: "Guech" Subject: American Psycho Date: Fri, 16 May 1997 02:19:38 -0400 Fiends, I must admit that I was extremely reluctant when I heard the Misfits were making a comeback. Not so much that Glenn was not in the band anymore. But that I found it hard to believe that anything they can do now could ever compare to the music they have already composed. When I first heard the Misfits it put me somewhere I have never been before. Its no surprise to me why they have such a loyal following. Obviously their music has affected others as it did me. Now it came to AMERICAN PSYCHO. I first downloaded a couple of songs off the Internet. I instantly found myself in awe. It is the Misfits sound back again. To me it was not so much Glenn's voice but the background "Wohs-ohhs" that made the music so great. That is what makes AMERICAN PSYCHO so great. And YES it is great. It is classic Misfits but much better recorded then their older stuff. It is crisper than it was but without sounding fake. Graves does one hell of a job replacing a legend and after listening to him it is hard not to notice the resemblance to Glenn. I have been a Misfits fan for years now and I don't expect a piece of shit magazine like Rolling Stone to give the Misfits anything but a shitty review. If they would have reviewed Walk among Us when it first came out they would have gave it the same shitty review. So I don't put much stock in Rolling Stone reviews. They only give bands like Beck and U2 good reviews because they use different musical styles. But I don't like talking into a mic. I like people that actually sing. If you want to see some good reviews of AMERICAN PSYCHO check out: http://www.allstarmag.com/revs/ and http://www.mrshowbiz.com/reviews/musicreviews/ Lastly I would like to thank Mark for all he does because it is his work that is making people look at the Misfits for what they are "Legends" The Misfits are back!

Well, of course that is only your theory, but if you are correct, then he is pretty pathetic to refuse cooperation purely out of spite -- not to mention being stupid, because he would still make more money by releasing the album (and splitting part of the profits with you) than by not releasing it at all (which appears to be what is happening -- unfortunately for us). > In fact; I just got an email from someone who says he brought up my name > to Glenn recently, and Glenn reiterrated the fact that the band was at > its best with me and Joey. That's one of the reasons I don't buy the whole "Glenn is ashamed of his past" business in regards to the Misfits. If he were ashamed, would he care what the new Misfits do? No. Instead, he says things like the above, which indicate that (in his mind) the reformation of the band is an insult to the "true" Misfits. If the old Misfits were a source of shame, then there would be nothing to be insulted about. > Absolutely!!! But he refuses to talk about the FITS publicly. Remember > the HEADBANGERS BALL episode ? Maybe now...although he has mentioneda few odd things here or there in various interviews. > I guess I'm not making this very clear. Sure Glenn played some of the > songs, but he refused to talk about it. Jerry did nothing. I did the Again, he didn't always refuse -- only in the last few years. If you read most of the Samhain- and early Danzig-era articles on Mark's page, (which you probably have already), then you see that the Misfits frequently come up. Actually, there is a Thrall-Demonsweatlive -era (1993) article in RIP ("Demons Down Under") in which Glenn mentions the Misfits. He says how the songwriting became progressively more serious from EAD to Samhain and finally Danzig. "It's time to grow up" -- this seems to be his attitude towards his first band: not shame, just a belief that more serious stuff needs to be done. > songs and answered any questions.

That was only for the money. Possible -- even probable. Although 1997 -- not '87 -- is the best time to make money on Misfits merchandise. If Glenn were purely motivated by financial gain, why would have stopped making Misfits shirts in the last year or two? Probably because he doesn't want to risk association with what he believes to be (Jerry's) sinking ship. > Not when someone CLAIMS to be acting as an agent for all the members - > which is basically how Glenn, and now Jerry had done. CAROLINE is still > liable nonetheless - which is why they were a subject in Jerry's lawsuit > - and now mine. As I understand it, did Glenn not own all legal rights throughout the 1980s and early 1990s? Did the 1993 settlement not disestablish those exclusive rights, such that EACH member would receive equal royalties in releases (supposedly, 20% each, except Glenn's 40%)? If this, and everything you say, is true, then Caroline has no business giving one member everyone's share to distribute as he sees fit. > > I especially find it > >difficult to believe that the members got that much since only Glenn > >appeared on every song on the set, and he gets double (40%) of what > >others do. (Although he, too, claims to have received nothing). > > According to fairly reliable sources; Glenn got $70,000 too. This is part > of what's so confusing. No one wants to give a straight answer to me or Yeah...the only reason I brought it up was that the amount seemed high. Especially high if one guy gets double what everyone else does, and that same guy is the only one involved with every recording on the entire boxset -- and is even involved more than once (ie: as singer and as overdubbed guitar, bass, or drums) on many of the songs. So right there, a good chunk of money falls in one person's hands. If everyone else still gets $70 000 for much their more limited invlovement, then how much did Glenn get? And how much was the total pie? None of my business, of course, but I'm just curious... Anyway, good luck in your lawsuit(s). >>Subject: New Danzig EP > I sure hope this one redeems B.A.D..

I Whoah -- read my post again. There is absolutely only one reason my diatribe immediately followed your post: your post was last in the Bible. I discussed everything I had intended to discuss that derived directly .from the previous issue (ending with your post), and then proceeded to make generalized comments regarding the current state of the Bible. The way the post was setup, I foresaw a misunderstanding such as this, which is exactly why I began the barrage by saying "in no particular relation to this", or words to that effect. I can't remember what exactly I said, but if you look, it's there. > admit that there are flames that are so uncalled for and some fiends would > rip on others for no apperent reason, but if you out right say something > you know that person is not going to be happy with once they read it you > should expect to be flamed.

But if I sound like that, it is largely because I write with a relatively formal style and I choose my words carefully. I say this totally unapologetically: if you think I am using "big" words, then you are an idiot. As for the percentage of M/S/D material, obviously within the realm of related bands, there is much to discuss that is not "100%" Misfits. TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, you could include comic books,wrestling, horror movies, pornography, punk (choke), martial arts, guitar technology...the list is nearly endless. What is NOT relevant is a 20-issue ongoing discussion about which arena in Philadelphia is the best. That may have had some limited relevance prior to the Misfits' show there, but to have people posting endlessly about it -- it's just not interesting or useful to the many hundreds of fiends that do not live anywhere near Philadelphia. It's reached the point where people giving their opinion of the new album are starting their posts with "sorry to have another review of American Psycho", while bullshit about the Electric Factory's lighting system or whatever -- all that crap goes unapologized. This list is *supposed* to be about people's album reviews, and stuff like that. I also don't see why you're so upset over what I said. I didn't actively censor anyone's messages; I only expressed my own opinion, which I hoped would appeal to their common sense (whatever that means -- so I can't always choose my words with care). > shows hanging out with any member of any of these bands. so what do you > do, not allow the new fiends to post since its not what "you" want to read. > hey it may be pointless to you but obviously it was not pointless to them Did I say ANYTHING about the age or experience of ANYONE?

Fine, maybe I wnt a little overboard with that. But, again, as CG said a while back, it is not typing errors (as when you hit the wrong key, or hit the keys in the wrong order, etc.), but consistent use of the wrong word. There is an enormous difference. It makes the Bible tedious to read, especially when the errors made are so utterly BASIC. Of course I can figure out what they are trying to say, but it often takes second or third glance. And if the content is useless anyway... > far as Green Hell goes, until you have seen the movie i am talking about > and have listened to the song enough, then you can shoot your mouth off. Do you know what I have and have not seen? Do you know how many times I've listened to the song? The answers to these questions are no, I have not seen the movie; secondly, I would estimate that I have listened to the song literally a thousand times, minimum. Either way, more than enough to know that the lyrics in the boxset are, at best, highly questionable -- which is all I said. Did you write the boxset lyrics? No. Was my comment about "Green Hell" even a part of the diatribe in that post? No. As I said above, you failed to notice the division between a lighthearted comment on lyrics, directed to you, and a bitter complaint about the Bible, directed to everyone. How you figured that I was attacking you is beyond me. BTW, Tammy, if I *had* wanted to shoot my mouth off, at ANY time, I would have, regardless of your say-so. I've never met you, but I seriously doubt you could stop me. -Brett ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 May 1997 02:11:04 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: The only post not talking about American Psycho ... Misfits 101... Record Conventions(NOT MISFITS TOUR DATES, IF MARK DOES NOT HAVE THE DATES NEITHER DO I!) Trading and info... well first, Julian the Wolf Von Frankenstien was not a joke or just a short stretch from something he used for signing stuff way back when. I do have an 8X10 black and white for Doyle on stage and its signed Doyle Von Frankenstien. so you see he just made a slight change, hey it could have been PC Doyle. Record cons May 16 Birmingham, AL (16 - 17). May 17 Hollywood, FL; NYC, NY; Binghamton, NY; Alexandria, VA; May 18 Carmichael, CA; Los Altos Hills, CA; Hermosa Beach, CA; Orlando, FL; Willowbrook, IL; Baltimore, MD; Royal Oak, MI; Edison, NJ; Toledo, OH(2 different shows); Cincinnati - Sharonville, OH; Pittsburgh, PA; Burlington, VT; Seattle, WA. you know the deal, catch me tomorrow and i'll give you the info for whatever Convention you need. i'm hoping to make it to the Hollywood con myself this saturday. Getting ready for the trade, so did anyone have any questions yet about value? i can tell you know this takes time to develop a sense for what is equal to make trades. i still ask questions of other collectors if i'm not sure. we all want to have the upper hand in a trade deal. i live by the coming of each issue of Goldmine, though if you use it for just Misfits stuff your wasting your time and money. $40 a year for a few lucky shots every so often. But it has helped me over the past 10 years as a subscriber. I have to say that best bet is start a journal with the info you get, and if you see ads cut them out. i alway refer back to info i have taken down years a go. Though i never go by just on single source. That is why i keep on saying to check around on Misfits prices. There are several extremes, and there actually is a fair range in the middle. Just cause you want a record very badly you should just plop down the moeny for it. Eerie is a great person, but $2000 is still a lot for any record, ie the Pink vinyl Legacy of Brutality. Just like plopping down $160 or records valued at that for a Horror Business on yellow vinyl. By the way if you fiends have been trying to learn, what is in the $160 value range for the Misfits? Think about it. Plus what could you trade for it if you wanted it. Name another record that is in that range for a straight trade deal? I never said that this would be easy. Obvious this took some hard work on my behalf to get to this point in collecting. Then again, i don't know to many people who can get away with trading a poor condition Beware, and a Die Kruezen Cows and Beer for a multi color Earth AD. The guy thought he had the upper hand on me, though the asking price on the record which was only labeled as a purple vinyl Earth AD was $250. The Beware was $80 and the Cows and Beer was $10 when i bought them. I think slicing off $160 of the asking price is good trading. So where do you go from there. Trade, well not that simple. And where we will continue on Mondays bible. as for Famous Monsters of Filmland, i still have more to go through to find more of the Crimson Ghost. By the way if you want issues of the originals, first be willing to hand off the bucks, the same way you would for Misfits records. also you will find the older issues at most comic book stores and Comic cons. Also the new issues of FM advertise the older issues for sale. well hope everyone has a great weekend.

All through the 80's Jerry and Glenn were either refusing to talk about the FITS, or outright denouncing it. I was the one that you knew you could go to a show and expect to hear MISFITS songs, played by a real MISFIT. Check out the version of BULLET, on LIVE SLAYER; or ATTITUDE on EVENING OF DESIRE (sure, I can't sing near as well as Glenn, but that's another story). As far as METALLICA goes; I've never played down their contribution either. I even thanked Kirk when I met him a few years ago. I believe it was in RIP, where Glenn totally dissed MEtallica and claimed that they had nothing to do with the major interest in the FITS. I've also never had such "delusions of grandeur" as to say that METALLICA and BON JOVI ripped me off - as (ho)MO THE GREAT has said - along with also claiming that I stole THE UNDEAD name from him and that he co-wrote the old MISFITS songs. >(And don't bother to respond with something stupid like "No one asked >you.") Where do you get off thinking that I would make such a remark. I've NEVER been rude to a fiend who hasn't been outright rude to me in the first place. That's more like Jerry's way of avoiding having to tell the truth. Need i remind you of a DOYLE FAN CLUB letter that Jerry once mailed out; berating, rudely, fiends for annoying him with questions regarding where the stuff they had sent him money for was, and why they hadn't recieved it. It's a pretty harsh statement. There's also another letter that I still don't have in my collection; where he tells about how the KRYST Cd was a failure "because YOU, our fans, didn't support us". You won't hear that from Glenn, and you won't hear that from Bobby - because we do appreciate you. I truly believe that Jerry only appreciates your money. P.T. BARNUM was certainly right. >> So, when you complain about the Misfits coming back for money > >But just because it's a current trend in music doesn't mean it's not >open for scrutiny. You're apparently a fairly smart guy. You're not going into this with your eyes closed, and accepting it just because it's called THE MISFITS. Shit. There are some people out there, that I'm convinced would buy anything called THE MISFITS even if it was just ROBO and BRIAN DAMAGE. (as I'm typing this, my monitor just turned blood red - no kidding) Read the bibles from when I came on here last March and you'll get a better understanding of what I'm saying.

I seem to recall them saying that Glenn was the best singer in Rockn'roll since Jim Morrison. And that was in '82. Just remember; a review is really just one person's opinion - whether he's a long time fan or not. I got hold of that guy, and he got a lot of flack for panning the record. Not for the reason you'd suspect . . . because he offended an advertiser. You're not allowed to pan a major label record at ROLLING STONE. The labels threaten to withdraw "big bux advertising". >From: Jon Jorden >Subject: Vinyl >Now bobby, where's the Max's record? :) Harass CAROLINE. Harass Jerry - and Harass Glenn.

There are no unreleased Misfits songs...there will be no Samhain > reunion...etc. Come on Mark, don't believe everything you hear. My two cents on the > matter: Samhain has more members than just Steve Zing...if Glenn wants this band back First off, as usual you said some good stuff before this. About this specific matter, a few issues back I listed what the other former Samhain guys were doing. Glenn has said about 10bazillion times that he's moving "forward" with his music, and his feelings for the Misfits reunion would seemingly be reflected in his feelings for a Samhain reunion. Steve Zing and Eerie Von keep in constant contact with Glenn, so I would assume they would know if there was going to be a Samhain reunion. That's all I meant by that. > From: Franz Ardito > Subject: american psycho > > question for mark: i saw the vinyl at the record store, and i've read on the > bible that there is a bonus track on it. is it the same as the ghost track > on the cd ("hell night" i guess) or is it another one?

Again, this was mentioned in my post last issue. The newsletters were completed in March and supposed to be mailed April 14th. It didn't happen due to some error at the post office. They're on the way out now, a month late. The membership card idea is not happening as of this time. Also, Fiends, some of you are really over-reacting to Brett Fama's post. His suggestions weren't directed at anybody in particular - they were written in a general sense. Don't take them personally, and keep in mind that if you're going to flame him, you should do so in personal email. mark ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 May 1997 02:45:03 -0400 (EDT) From: Brett Fama Subject: ANOTHER LONG ONE > From: Neil McAllister > Eerie Von is no "lowlife". And you're a chump for believing what you see > music. You're an asshole if you're going to put someone down based on > hearsay and blatant marketing ploys. I think Mike Inzo was making a small joke, which was actually funny. Lighten up. How ironic that I should say this, and then follow it with the post below... > From: Rich Hartwig > I wanted to thank Tammy (tes777@bridge.net) for her comments in agree with the non-flaming, open-minded ideas/opinions you expressed. > It also helped me to create this first posting. Again, thanks. Non-flaming. Non-flaming. That is pretty interesting. Tammy calls me a pompous ass, accuses me of flaming her (which I didn't), says/implies that I want to censor new subscribers, and horror movies and other such topics from the Bible (which I don't), and tells me "not to shoot my mouth off" about "Green Hell" (which I didn't). But of course, she started her post off by pointing out how she would mercifully spare me her flaming wrath, (of course, my heart almost stopped until she put me at ease) so therefore, despite everything she said, her post is not a flame. Okay, fine. This is not a flame: Mark Kennedy, you are the world's biggest fucking loser, you probably molest children and animals, and your posts are stupid. And just be glad I didn't flame you. > From: Grandpa Atomic > Everyone can guess by the writing caliber of this fool's original message is that he's > just another kid trying to prove himself. Really? Why is that, because I don't make idiotic errors? Tell me, how old do you think I am? I have posted to this list for a couple hundred issues. I think I have helped Mark a fair bit with his WWW page, and I talk with him in personal emails. I seriously don't believe I have ever "flamed" anyone (except in retaliation), and in my recent post, I was only expressing distaste with much of the current material on the Bible. Others have done that before, and in much stronger terms than I did. Mark has never complained about any of my messages, nor did anyone complain about my "rant" two issues ago -- that is, no one complained until Tammy FLAMED me -- quite unjustifiably -- last issue. Mark, if *you* have a problem with anything I say, by all means, let me know. As for certain others... If there is anyone who feels the need to prove herself, it is Tammy. Am I wrong? If she is not obsessed by what the rest of the subscribers think of her, then why does she go out of her way to say she is not flaming me? (When in fact she did flame me; that reply of hers was as close to a "flame" as you get). Tammy, if what I said above offends you, then so be it; you gave your opinion of me in Bible #334 ("sounds like a pompous ass"), so don't cry if you can't take it yourself. You have wrongly accused me, on more than one occasion, of flaming you. Many other times, you have reacted irrationally and harshly to some of my messages: if you recall, I said to you several times in the past not to take everything so seriously. Believe me, Tammy, if I had wished to flame you, or anyone else, it would have been much more explicit. There would be no doubt whatsoever that I was whipping your ass. > From: Daniel Herrmann > Subject: just a suggestion > I was more than happy to learn that. I mean, shit, I didn't know that. > Her post was clearly made to help me out, not an attack by any means. So > where you get off attacking her is beyond me. Thanks Tammy. See my message last issue. You know, the one in which I had to waste about 60 000 lines of Bible space explaining my previous message, because Tammy (and obviously you as well) completely misunderstood it. Tammy and "Green Hell" had absolutely NOTHING to do with my complaints. Maybe if I ask one of my 8 or 9 year-old cousins to write my messages, people like you will understand them. > BTW - You're the same Brett that ironically shit on yourself trying to > correct grammar a few months ago, huh? Read #292 to refresh your memory. And you are the same imbecile who flamed me in that issue for making a **typing** error (different than a spelling error, as the Crimson Ghost taught you --or I guess I should say, *tried* to teach you, as you obviously learned nothing from him). BTW, did you have to look through back issues to find the correct one, or did you have a copy of it framed on your wall? I bet your "triumph" over me that issue was such a source of pride that you'll take it to your deathbed. "Just a suggestion" Tim, or Daniel, or whatever you call yourself: stay the fuck away from southern Ontario if you value the use of your legs, you stupid bloody idiot. You're obviously a moron, so you'll probably have to look on a map to find the place. It's in Canada. You know, that vast expanse of land to the north of the USA. Oh, BTW, north is usually the "up" direction on a map. Anyway, that's where I live, and if you get within a mile of me, I'm gonna knock you out. And don't even think of emailing me personally like you did last time; keep all of your whining, juvenile comments to the Bible, where I can respond or ignore them at my own leisure. THAT is a flame, Tammy. And that is also all I have to say on this topic. I guess I shouldn't have even made those complaints about the Bible, for three reasons: 1. they would not accomplish anything anyway, despite the truth and rationality of what I said. 2. people misunderstood them and put words in my mouth, then attacked me based on those words. 3. because of #2, I was forced to waste much more room on the Bible by explaining and defending myself. So...I am done with this. If you disagree with what I originally said, even after I elaborated and clarified everything in single-syllable words last issue -- fine, I don't even care anymore. I will just summarize my repies: Grandpa Atomic: Whatever...you don't know me, so call me whatever you want -- just realize that you do so in ignorance. I hope for your sake you never get the chance to say it to my face. Tim/Daniel Hermann: Based on my previous experience with you, I think I know what you're thinking. Don't even bother. Instead, do us both a favour and go play in traffic. Tammy: I've done all the explaining I'm going to do. If you didn't get it the first two times, you never will, so let's just leave it at that. I never had a quarrel with you to begin with, regardless of what you erroneously came to believe. To the rest of the Bible subscribers (those few of you who even paid attention to this thread, or cared about it): I still don't think you can deny anything that I said. I am somehow on the verge of apologizing nonetheless, but then I think of why I made my first post on this subject. So I will apologize to some of you, not all of you. I think it is ironic that most of my LONG posts are the secondary ones that clarify all the garbage interpretations of the shorter, initial ones. Why is this? It was right there all along... I don't know. But that's it. -B ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 May 1997 14:24:21 +0100 From: Jake Starr Subject: dumfux < Subject: Sorry About the New Album Down with the new album down i say burn it, ban it, get danzig back or ill kill Doyle Von Dumfuckstein...>> now THIS is genius = Doyle Von Dumfuckstein. nuff said. < Subject: SHIT SANDWICH!

Date: Fri, 16 May 1997 14:41:33 -0400 I noticed a number of fiends in the last Bible commenting on the Misfits trademark "woah-oh-oh"s. Well, I'd like to take this time to make a non-Misfits plug: there is another band almost as well known for their "woah-oh-oh"s and that is Chicago's Naked Raygun. They released their first record back in 1982. Raygun had an incredible piledriver sound. Very much the metallic, white-noise guitar sound that other Chicago 80's punk bands like Effigies and Big Black shared. But they grafted it onto these great Buzzcocks/Misfits melodic punk tunes. I strongly recommend you check them out. My favorite albums are ALL RISE and THROB THROB.

I picked up the limited edition Heavy Vinyl edition of American Psycho for $10. They had 3 or 4 copies left. Dead Kings Rise isn't that good of a song. The huge picture of Doyle is worth it though. Also picked up vinyl for Earth AD. Just the regular old 3rd press. Also found a copy of the Undead's Live Slayer. It is a really cool purple vinyl. That was $6. .From Danzig, I got Lucifuge on vinyl. Also got the Danzig Sacrifice remixes 12". If anyone is ever in the area, check the Princeton Record Exchange out. They have lots of stuff.

Okay, I can understand (not really) so I can respect the fact that someone might actually like the new album, but how can you continue breathing after saying that Micheal Graves doesn't sound like anyone? Come on! Throughout the album, I can hear a lot of familiar voices; Dave Mustaine, Peter Steele (type O negative), Danzig (he even yells like him, a lot), and a few others I've already forgotten. His voice has very little originality. As for the album, it is likeable if you can get past the songs. Don't Open Till Doomsday sounds like a Fat Wreck Chords band. Chrimson Ghost.....give me a break. I was embarassed when I heard it. Ironic that one of the few good songs, hellnight, is a hidden track. So I actually have to listen to the last song just to get to it. This album is terrible, yet I do find it catchy. The lyrics suck, so I just block them out and pretend they're a whole lot of mumbling. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't understandable but they are damn clear. "I traded in my bible for a little black cat"!!"!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What's that shit. I nearly died. That is the worst lyric I have ever heard. Worse than Silver Chair, and though they can play, those Aussie kids couldn't write lyrics to save their lives. And the picture/poster!!!! Oh my god. That is the worst shit I've ever seen. I can't wait to hear this album on the radio. I just hope I don't drive off the road laughing. Cheers J. ------------------------------ From: AZawodny@mobile.bam.com Date: 16 May 97 15:13:08 EDT Subject: AP Now... Neil McAllister wrote "I will say another thing, though: not one thing about it even REMINDS me of the Misfits." You got that right. Though I enjoy listening to the album, and believe there are some cool catchy songs, this album in no way has ties to the past ... and it can't because the songwriter from the past isnt on this album.. It takes way more than a skull on the cover, some whoah -oh ohs and doom and gloom lyrics to make a Misfits song. If I heard this album, and didnt know that it contained two ex-Misfits, I would never think "Hey, these guys sound alot like the Misfits". Instead, I'd say, as I do now, "these guys sound a little like Judas Priest, Metallica and Therapy rolled into one". you continue with "When I saw the NewFits live last year it struck me that their new guitar sound does NOTHING good for the Misfits' >songs, and I feel that way even more now since none of the new songs even harks back to the old. Also, when you take the CD out of >the jewel case, you see behind it a picture of Doyle playing his guitar with a bunch of hands reaching up and giving him "Devil sign". >Doyle gets top billing on the back as well, which seems to indicate they're trying to position him as some kind of "guitar god" for the >metal kids, which he clearly ain't." Again, great point. Doyle, while moving up miles in the proficiency club of guitar playing (are those arpeggios in Mars Attacks? Does he think he is KK Downing?), needs to learn to 1.) GET HIS DAMN PALM OFF THE STRINGS EVERY NOW AND THEN!!!!. Those palm muted riffs ala Hetfield and countless others have to go!! I mean, there is a time and place for that style of playing, but song after song after song makes you yearn for an open and ringing chord ala Last Caress. 2. HE NEEDS A NEW TONE!! The distortion is way to cheesy, sounds like one of those old DOD American Metal distortion pedals that sound like you are playing through a garbage can. Thats why solid state guitar amps and effects blow, the tone sounds like shit. Give that man an old Marshall or Orange head, and turn the gain up! Mike Inzo said "What I didn't like is so much talk about God in the lyrics. I wouldn't >have a problem with this if the lyric were somewhere else. Ressurrection is a good song.....but it's about Jesus Christ....not >what the Misfits are about. Kryst the conqeror was anti misfits and anti glenn, that stuff belongs there. I think, Speak of the >devil is also maybe religious. I'm like soooooo sure, they're gonna play ressurrection then play an old Glenn anti-god one. Yea, I hear ya. There is nothing worse than a dopey song about Satan, except for dopey songs about god and Jesus. While the Misfits were never a "satan" band, they had plenty of evil references in their songs. Does Jerry think he is gonna be the next bass player in Stryper? Are we to expect the next album to have songs called "Mother Theresa, Fearless Vampire Killer" or "The Pope vs the Mole People?" ... puhleeze.... One very cool lyric though .. "Death holds you in it's arms, and kisses you goodnight" .... I love that one from the Haunting! I though the production was way too clean. Misfits songs had the tradition of sound raw, underproduced and driving. This album sounds way over done. I do like to listen to it, but it aint the Misfits. Some Samhain reunion news .. Mark was wrong, there will be a reunion, its gonna be me, Packy Vomit and Mike Otrock. Though none of us were in Samhain, we are going to take the name and start playing the songs and go on tour and release some albums. We figure, everyone else is doing it, why cant we?

Does Danzig 5 sound like Danzig 1? No. Danzig 5 sux! Danzig one was (is) great. Glenn has evolved in to a lower grade of songwritter, in my opinion. Does Earth A.D. sound like Static Age, or for that matter Walk Amoung us? Hell no! This album contains material written some 13-15 years AFTER the last Misfits album. (New material of course) Credit Jerry, and Doyle Von Whatever for musical evolution and growth. They still kick ass, but now they can play much better. Why would you force someone to remain stagnant? Are they not allowed to grow? Does being a fiend give us special privlages to keep our "heros" static? No. Face it, we all love to talk about "We Are 138", but that and "RATT FINK" have to be some of the stupidest lyrics ever written. All of EAD is indecipherable. If you played WAU and EAD for someone who had never heard of the 'Fits, or those albums before, they would never guess they were the same band. However, if you played American Psycho and WAU for that same person, it's MUCH more likely that a connection would be made between the albums. There is even a similarity between AP and EAD, although none of the songs on AP are quite as thrashy as EAD. I'm sorry that some people on here can't accept the fact that 15 years have gone by since Glenn was in the band, times change, people change, things grow. It's a fact of life. AP is a refreashing change from the standard crap out there. I support your right to disagree with me, but I felt I had to express my point of view. As for the song "Shining", yes it is about "Poltergeist", but the psychic said that Carol Ann's life force was a beacon shining in the dark for the spirits in the house. Thus the title of the song. Takes a little thought, but thinking is always better than following blindly. :) Stay Sick!

Well It's time to say a few things. For those of you who think the misfits suck or the new album sucks or whatever, I have two words: FUCK OFF. The reason I say this is because the new misfits aren't the old misfits. The new stuff is incredible. Period. The old stuff is incredible. Period. Why compare Michale's voice to Glenn's? They are both very good. I think Mikey's vocals have a haunting quality to them. The music is catchy, or else most of us wouldn't be hummimg the shit all day long. I sing the lyrics to "day of the dead" pretty much nonstop. I can't get it out of my head. So I am truly sorry that some don't like the new stuff. It is a shame, because the misfits are truly ahead of their time. I think that I have a great idea. Why don't we ask Tammy to make a top 10 list of our favorite misfits tunes like she did for the getting to know you stuff. Each fiend can post their top 10 and then they would be compiled into a list that would be posted later. (We can make the list to just show the top ten songs period, or show everyone's top 10. I think we should just post the top ten period.)We can give points to the songs like this: Ten for 1 nine for 2 eight for 3 and so on. Or something like that. Then we can see just how the new songs hold up. I bet a lot of people will be suprised at how many new songs are on it. Just an idea. Anyway, the misfits are back and for those who can't accept it, well, I will be chewing on your flesh later! HA HA HA Fiends kick ass! ALL of us.

Ressurection, and Speak of the Devil. >Ressurrection is a good song.....but it's about Jesus Christ....not what >the Misfits are about. Well I have to agree with this one. It is about Jesus, and doesn't really seem to fit the pattern of typical "Misfits songs", but as I mentioned in my last post, people change. I hope they don't turn into Stryper, but one of the things that turned me off of Danzig's new stuff (besides hating the music on the new album) was the increasingly dark lyrics. >I think, Speak of the devil is also >maybe religious. Nope. Not a chance. Perhaps the reason you thought it was is the line: "Some call me the son of the morning; God knows I'm the Angel of Light". The Angel of Light is Lucifer. He was God's original "No.1 Angel", His right hand man. The rest of the song bears this out as well. "I drink my water from a wolf's footprint; my souls redemptive work of Christ", seems to me to be about the Angel of Light and Christ working at cross purposes. (no pun intended, ugh) I certainly hope this doesn't come off as a flame Inzo, since it is only meant as my impression of the songs. :) Stay Sick!!

Laterz, Eric ------------------------------ From: Matt Richards Subject: rotten fruit for fresh vegetables-- my bitch session on the new 'Fits Date: Sat, 17 May 1997 08:34:55 PDT we went from "demon I am and face I peel" to "I take my cyclotrode right out of it's case?"!!!!!! Anybody who thinks these new Lyrics are as good as the old ones needs a little education. I recommend Eng 101 or British Lit. Anyone who thinks these lyrics are even passing should go back to listening to Ugly Kid Joe-- The lyrics on American Psycho are pathetic, half-assed drivel with no creative talent. I was willing to let bygones be bygones, who needs an asshole like GD in the band right? Well, now I see where ole GD got his pomposity, his arrogance, and his unwavering belief that he knew what he was doing and no one else did. anyone who has studied even a little poetry or literature ought to be able to see that Glenn was way above the heads in his day (the use of words like 'somnambulace' always left headbangers scratching their heads) how many of you knew what the pulmonary was when you first heard VAMPIRA? After I started with my major courses (British Modern Lit) I went back and re-read all of GD's lyrics and started STUDYING them, looking for the key to Danzig's style, for what made him so damn different and what I found is perhaps stating the obvious but DANZIG'S method of presenting horror is very abstract and in the majority of cases, the evil is implied not described, with a few exceptions. Consider: "With both eyes open, I wait up for the kill, feel the evil, feel the heat as I blast you open." That my friends, is poetry. And to pull it off and pull it off WELL is not easy. If the new Misfits were to use this idea for lyrics, it would probably go in this direction: "There's a bad guy Sitting up late at night,in a dark room with a gun, waiting for the person he's going to kill, he feels so evil inside, Now they're here and he's shooting them and it hurts them really bad." New Misfits lyrics merely describe-- tell a cute little story with dark words-- DANZIG PAINTED A PICTURE WITH ABSTRACT IMAGES AND (a lot bigger and better)WORDS THAT LET YOU IMAGINE WHAT THE REAL HORROR WAS. And most importantly-- look at this one-- WHEN DANZIG WRITES, IT'S ALMOST ALWAYS FIRST PERSON-- DANZIG TAKES US INSIDE THE HEAD OF THE MONSTERS HE WRITES ABOUT. HE-- AND WE-- BECOME THE MONSTERS FOR A MOMENT AND SEE THROUGH THEIR EYES. Plain and simple Danzig was an artist and the 'fits were not. -- but here's another problem with the New Misfits lyrics-- they can't even get the rythm right half the time. The lyrics don't flow with the music-- poor Mike has to speed up some of the words (I'm thinking specifically of the "I hate People" line in the title song) to get them out before they rip into the chorus. In several places on the album this happens. What this shows is a distinct ignorance (not stupid ignorance, just careless ignorance)of how a song should be written-- how the words and music are woven together to form a song. This is not something that can be passed off as though there was a politically correct way of doing it, and the rebel punk way. There is a correct way to write music and that correct way is pleasing to the human ear in all possible cultures. I'm not talking about style of music (punk, folk, techno, etc)I'm talking about melody, harmony, and rythm. Someone singing along with a drum machine can be music if it follows the beat-- someone singing rock a bye baby to a polka beat is not the cadence of the lyrics will not follow the random blows of hammers and squeal of drills- blah blah-- I'm starting to ramble. I don't think a lot of you realize that what made the Misfits so great and made you like them so much, had a lot to do with the songcrafting and lyrics that ole asshole did for them. These are very subtle things that are hardly noticeable when they are present, but when they are absent, you miss them a lot.Anyone who has taken any music classes or lit classes beyond high school ought to know what I'm talking about. Why do you think it's possible for people like that super-producer Butch Vig to put together a band that has a whole string of hits? Because there are certain elements in music that when put together in a song are naturally pleasing and likeable and people like him know what they are. Vig would have been just as successful even if it was a different style of music that was popular. Anyway, Im getting off course. About the artwork on the cover of the album-- LOUSY-- IT'S NOT MISFITS STYLE. Alright, it's not GD's style. GD took old ideas, and re-worked them into something new-- he used the old Monsters of Filmland shit and comics and movies and twisted them a little- Made it an original. That's a lot different from directly copying something. Glen was much more creative when it came to finding ideas or images that represented the misfits. His stuff was a lot more subtle. That's what made the old Misfits great. FINAL BUT MOST IMPORTANT BITCH: This is the most important thing to consider about the old vs. new fits. Remember the excitement of tracking down all the Misfits influences? Finding out where the Crimson Ghost logo really came from, and what 'Samhain'was, and where the monsters on the cover for WAU came from, and what PLAN 9 meant and words like DEVILOCK, and the capt. harlock skull etc.-- DANZIG didn't make these up, but he took them and made them great. He introduced a lot of us to new things through his work with the Misfits. I am not saying he's a good person, just that he is an intelligent creative force that far outshines most of the performers in the genre's he's been involved with. The big question is: DO YOU THINK JERRY AND DOYLE AND THE REST CAN DELIVER THIS CREATIVITY AS WELL? WHAT NEW AND EXCITING THINGS THAT YOU WERE UNFAMILIAR WITH DID YOU COME ACROSS IN AMERICAN PSYCHO? ANY NEW SKULL DESIGNS? NEW WORDS? REFERENCES TO MOVIES OR COMICS YOU'D NEVER HEARD OF? I'll answer for myself-- NOT ONE. There's nothing FRESH about American Psycho-- nothing really new.I'll listen to it-- I don't hate it-- some of it is great for moshing around and sing-along's-- I'll definitely see them live and have a blast. But there is a definite breakdown in the things that made the misfits so great before and there is never going to be a reviewer who says in ten years that American Psycho was way ahead of it's time-- It's a copy of something that was way ahead of it's time. I don't hate the new Misfits and I don't love Glen, I think Glen is an ass-- but I'd go to him for a tattoo idea before I'd go to Jerry and Doyle. ready for the flames:-> LYCANTHRO13 --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 May 1997 12:34:23 -0700 (PDT) From: Daniel Herrmann Subject: Green Hell on AMC "Green Hell" is on AMC on Wednesday, May 21st at 12 pm Eastern Time.

First of all, I don't think the song Resurrection is about Jesus. It's about the rebirth of the Misfits the way I see it. Second of all, I want to add that I think the new album is great. Everyone I know thinks it's cool except for my brother, who upon hearing it for the first time (without being told who it was) said "I hate the fuckin Misfits". So that goes to show that it does sound like the Misfits not some pale immitation. The only differance I see now is that the Jerry and Doyle are better musicians and the lyrics seem to be telling a story in many of the songs. This is not that bad of a thing. I find myself singing along to almost every song, especially "Resurrection", "This Island Earth", "The Haunting", "Day of the Dead" and "Dont Open Til Doomsday". These songs are as catchy and as good as the stuff on Walk Amongs Us. The third thing I wanted to add was that I am sick and fucking tired of all these assholes getting on the Bible and wasting space bitching about how bad the album is. Im so tired of you "punker than fuck" people bitching. Lighten the hell up. I mean, it's obvious by the way you guys are acting that you would never be happy even if the album was the greatest fucking thing since the blowjob. Ill bet money that you assholes wouldn't be happy if Jerry invented a fucking time machine and went back to 1982 and drafted a young Glenn Danzig as the new singer. Shut the hell up and if you dont like the new album then don't fuckin buy it. Just quit bitching. The person Im really sick of hearing from is GRAMPS. Is is me, or is everyone sick of this jerk comming on and dropping the names of every single fucking "real" punk band he has stashed away on some stuid 7" somewhere? I dont give a shit if you have a large musical library pal, I really dont. What are you trying to do? Show us all that you are a real punk and an expert in what is cool and what is not? Shit, you must have dropped the names of about 400 fucking bands in three or four of the posts you have made. Gimmie a break. Quit judging the new record by comparing it to your god like record collection. It's a good record and it stands alone. If it were not the Misfits would you like it. What if it were the new Balzac or whatever the hell their name is record? Would you shoot your load over it then? Ill bet you would. Now if you want you can throw some insult back at me or make fun of my grammer or spelling or something like that because I really dont care. Just quit being a "PUNK" and decide if something is good or not by just fucking listening to it without all the bullshit that seems to go along with being punker than fuck. And goddamnit, quit calling it a metal album. Judas Preiest was metal, not this.

I thought it was kinda clever considering most (if not all) of them are Horror Movies......Get over it. I am sure most of you complaining couldn't write and make an album as good as American Psycho..... I could care less if they sound like the old Misfits are not...considering they are not the Misfits....they are the MISFITStm......

Like that's a real stretch! 52) Fiend Without A Face (1958) Blame it on the atom bomb! Great 50's kitzch in this movie about flying skull-sucking brains with spinal cord tails. 54) Fists Of Fury (1973) Made the same year as Enter The Dragon. I love Bruce Lee movies. This is where Steven Seagal, Van Damme, and Glenn Danzig wish they could be, but there can only be one...well there is also Jackie Chan.. 56) Flesh and Blood Show (1973) A bunch of dumb actors get killed in an island theater. Sort of like what you wish would have happened to Mr. Rourke, Tatoo and the rest of the rejects on Fantasy Island. 57) The Flesh Eaters (1964) Not just a band, a great flick! Nazi scientist experiments with microscopic sea critters that feast on flesh. 58) Flesh Feast (1969) Veronica Lake plays an insane Nazi -hating plastic surgeon who brings Hitler back from the dead only to torture him to death with maggots to avenge her mother. 59) Flesh Gordon (1972) The year I was born, was the year Flesh Gordon became the leader of planet Porno and defeated the evil sex ray. Soft-core porn which is worth a look. Hirstute women and Rick Baker FX abound. 60) The Flesh Merchant (1955) Hollywoood aint no tinsel town as this aspiring model soon finds out in this serious attempt to enlighten people on the horrors of 1950's prostitution. I repeat-ATTEMPT. Watch it with your girlfriend for a laugh. 61) The Fly (1958) The first and best, another classic with the great Vincent Price as Francois Delambre. I cried for days when they killed the spider at the end.~v~ 62) Food Of the Gods (1976) Animals grow to giant proportions and eat island inhabitants. My favorite scene is where the giant mosquito sucks some lucky guy dry. Back before the days of cable they showed this on TV during "Revenge of Mother Nature Week". 63) Frankenstein (1931) This is the role that Bela refused. Boris Karloff made an instant classic and insured that Doyle would covet those neckbolts for all eternity. 64) The Freakmaker (1973) Donald Pleasance is a mad scientist who hybrids people with plants with disastrous results. 65) Freaks (1932) A cruel dancer marries a circus dwarf and uses him for his money. His friends seek vengeance when she tries to poison him by making her one of them. Great movie which was repeatedly banned and almost lost (MGM found it too contraversial and disowned it) until it became a roadshow phenomenon. 66) Frigid Wife (1961) Ever wonder why sometimes your girl just can't get into it or why some nights you are as limp as a noodle? Watch this and find out. 67) Frightmare (1974) Cannibalistic English couple want to have you for dinner. 68) From Beyond the Grave (1973) Peter Cushing owns an antique shop and those who try to steal from him will soon wish they hadn't. 69) The Fury of Hercules (1961) In Italy, Machiste movies were the spaghetti sword-and-sandal movies that were all the rage. Dubbing them into English and re-naming the hero Hercules made them more marketable and a hell of alot funnier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- I decided to go ahead and finish up the F's so i could have a clean slate for the G's.

It's what Earth A.D SHOULD have sounded like. To tell you the truth, I'd much rather listen to this album instead of that CRAP Glenn is putting out these days. And by the way, Samhain sucks my ass. How can anyone rip the Misfits of today. Glenn's stuff after the misfits in unlistenable. Trash. Glenn turned into a faggot after the misfits and I realize where the heart and soul of the Misfits came from...JERRY ONLY. You can see it in his eyes...
