Subject: Mourning Noise Reunion

----MOURNING NOISE-----

Of all the bands to emerge from Lodi, NJ (Misfits, Samhain, Danzig, etc),
the most under-rated of them all is surely Mourning Noise.  Mourning
Noise got together in '82 and recorded a 7" EP and a lot of unreleased
material (soon to be released on the band's upcoming compilation CD)
before disbanding in '84.  

Like their friends the Misfits, Mourning Noise had their own distinct 
horror image.  The powerful team of Steve Zing (ex-Samhain, ex-Undead, 
current band Chyna) on drums and Mike Mansfield on vocals raged through 
great songs like "Dawn Of The Dead," "Nestle Baby Killer," "Demon Eyes," 
and "Monster Madness." The band broke up when Steve Zing and their later 
guitarist Damien left to join Samhain on a full time basis.

Now, 13 years later, Gausten Productions (who brought The Misfits to 
Action Park) brings you the original lineup of Mourning Noise on stage 
at the Franklin American Legion hall in Franklin, NJ on August 23rd.  
Doors open at 3pm - don't miss it.

Date:      Sat., August 23, 1997
Time:      doors open at 3pm
Venue:     Franklin American Legion (Franklin, NJ)
Admission: Six Dollars, all-ages

Tentative Line-Up: Anotherence (Past and present members of Anotherence, Sick
Boys, Squiggy, and Those Unknown), The Accelerators (Ex members of the
Parasites), Against the Grain (Ex Cause For Alarm). Flatus, MOURNING
NOISE!!!!, Squiggy.

Subject: well, I was wrong.

A while back, there was a discussion about the union of MEGADETH and the
MISFITS on tour. I thought the idea was kooky but I have to admit now
that megadeth is really good these days. their fan club is a little lame
(the cyberarmy) but they are a good match for the misfits and make for
an awesome live show. (hey, far better than metallica these days)
in any event, I have seen a startling number of 80's metal bands making
a sorrowful attempt at a comeback, but megadeth has been fairly
consistent.

I just got into the Misfts thanks to my friend Mike.  Before that I was
a heavy metallica fan, nbut then I was shown the true light...  THE
MISFITS KICK METALLICA'S SORRY ASS! Anyway, I'm new at this, and I
wanted a crimson ghost short, so I was wondering if any of you out there
lived in Memphis TN and could tell me where I might find one.

To all Bible Members:

I know you all know that AZ and Noss are putting out a tribute cd with 
bands from the Bible.  Well just to let you all know to ORDER IT!!!   AZ 
let me check out the cd test pressing and just to let you know that its 
quality stuff.  Noss did a great job on the art work for the cd and Art did 
a great job on putting the tapes together and the mastering of the final 
product.  All the bands did a real good job too.  I never heard Violent 
World cd but I heard this and I like what I hear.   Its well worth the 
money that your going to spend, esp for the CD!!!

Just my 2 cents

Hey Fiends,

I recently saw a really cool Misfits shirt...it had the logo in white with 3
or 4 crimson ghost head underneath on a black shirt...I had seen the design
before (I have a poster like that) but never on a shirt.  The kid wearing it
said that he bought it the last time the Misfits played Philly!  I
completely missed that one...if anyone out there has a size L shirt they
wanna part w/ or know where I can get one, please e-mail me asap!

Subject: New MiSFiTS fans, #MiSFiTS, Danzig
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 1997 11:54:51 -0500

I have a few things to comment about.  I happen  to be a new MiSFiTS fan. 
I got into them after my girlfriend told me about Danzig being in them.  I
was like, "No way!  The midget was in another band?!"  On vacation this
June, I purchased Walk Among Us and popped it into my Diskman.  I was
amazed.  I wasn't a big punk fan, but I listened to these guys and from
then on, I was hooked.  Later on, I went out and bought the most
loved/hated album since Metallica's LOAD of shit, American Psycho.  This
album blew me away.  The first thing I noticed is that Graves accualy can
sing, unlike Danzig who posses little singing ability.  The guitars were
better played, most likely to 13? years of pratice.  True, the lyrics
weren't as 'in your face' as Danzig, but then that is what Danzig does,
writes lyrics that make you question.  I went to a friends house who had
Collection I and it was a great cd.  Now, I personally think old 'FiTS fans
flaming new MiSFiTS fans is wrong, because, at one time or another, you
were a new MiSFiTS fan yourself.  I think we all should just appricate the
fact that their are people who enjoy the music the MiSFiTS put out.  

#MiSFiTS is a cool place.  I personally like Hepcat and the others in
there.  Its a funplace, as long as you dont go in there and give us some
bible thumping bs and give us bullshit about how Manson rules and MiSFiTS
suck.

And to finish this up, I totally agree with Thomas Bloomfield's comment
about Danzig and its members.  Danzig was a total dipshit for dumping Chuck
and John so he can play his industrial "music."  And notice how I use the
term music loosely

I recently bought a record that I was told was an  Undead- Evening of
Desire test pressing. It came in a plain white cardboard sleeve, a 
plain
white center label, and has a small center hole, and has all of the 
songs
in the same order as the regular 12". I just want to know if this

Subject: fucking shit people, C'mon already....

Goddamn, I've been getting the Bible for quite sometime now, but I
haven't read one since late spring (1997) because it had turned into 
who's got a better dick?- Mike or Glenn?? Well, WHO GIVES A FUCK? If you
like the music, buy the cd. If you like the adrenaline, go to a show -
but for the love of all that is unholy PLEASE stop whining about the
difference between the old 'FiTs and the new. You ARE a fan, right?
Otherwise you shouldn't be posting... 
Anyway, I know I'll end up getting flamed by the people who still insist
that apples are better than oranges, so if you happen to be one of those
people, email me personally instead of wasting space in the Bible
(rancor@sunline.net).
Moving on - Here's my peice about MegaDouche. They suck. Dave Mustane
just wishes he could have sold out with Metallica (how many of us are
old enought to remember that?). Nothing else needs be stated, but
everybody seems to want to.
Here's the part where I actually talk about the band we all love...
Can we, as their loyal undead following, petition to keep them from
thinking about getting on Mtv? I think it would rip out what's left of
my heart to see a Video for American Psycho... If we can (and anyone
knows how to make an internet petition) I'd gladly be the first 50
people to sign (me, my multiple personalities, and their mafia alias')

O.K. I'm done.

To who ever said that the Misfits are the sole bridge between the punk
and metal crowd: I don't know about that, because I just saw S.O.D. live
in Cleveland two weekends ago and it blew any damn Misfits show away.
They are THE definitive metal/punk crossover band. make sure to see them
if they come around because they are only doing like 11 shows.

First I must say that Mike you are realy holding your own in my
book...I am impressed and what realy impressed me was the show at Action
Park in August 1996.  This was before Psycho was released and I heard
alot of people saying that the new singer sucked....Well, you don't! 
Mike is a good singer, He is not Danzig, but no one is and no on will
ever be Danzig...Mike is mike and he has his own style, That is how he
sings!

	Well at the Action Park show it had been a long day and the Fits finaly
get on stage.  The crowd was great (except for a few Mike bashers) the
Fits were great and the whole setting was great...
Except the PIT!!!  It was nothing bit a bunch if collage fuckups and new
breed punk rockers.  Then about half way into the show Mike gets anoyed
with the pit and finaly decides to teach the crowd how to pit... In a
CIRCLE like the old days!!!!!  Now the show got even better!  This is
the first time I have seen a CIRCLE PIT since 1989....and it was
incredible!!! (just like the old days, thanks Mike!)  So for all you
Show goers..... The pit goes in a circle...Not slaming the person in
front of you or beside you as hard as you can so they can fall and get
thier head smashed by a steel toe boot!!!  Do it right next time, trust
me you will have a lot more fun and less people will get hurt.  Remember
you are there to see the band not to kill the guy next to you!!! 

	And mike if you read this you are doing a GREAT job... and thanks for
bringing back the "CIRCLE" I have missed it for many years and I hope
that you will do the same thing at any of the shows that people forget
how to pit!!!! thanks

From: negril@mindspring.com (C. Webb)
Subject: Misfits old and new

First off I hope that I am sending this to the correct adress. As a new
subscriber I am a little fuzzy on the Bible protocol. If not let me know
and I'll straighten my act out.
  It seems like I am the last Misfits fan to find out that the Misfits have
regrouped. I stumbled across the boxed set last week and for the first time
in years I got that feeling. After several restless nights plagued by
visions of my past I bought the black coffin. On the way to the checkout
line I checked under "Misfits" just for laughs. Low and behold a NEW
Misfits CD "American Psycho" was wedged between Static Age and some tribute
to the Misfits called Violent World. I left the store with AP.
   At home I started with the Static Age CD and worked through the rest of
the boxed set. It was an experience to here those familiar chords and
bellowing voice after so many years. 20 Eyes still pumps my adrenaline like
it did when I first heard it in 1983.
   After the boxed set came American Psycho (Oh yes, a back to back marathon).
COLOSSAL describes the sound of Dr. Phibes which had me peaked for a true
musical triumph, but what followed was a bit less than what I expected from
such a line up. The engineering on AP far surpasses any of the original
Misfits recordings but the content seemed a bit trite when compared to the
earlier works. The original Misfits lyrics and instruementation evoked my
imagination more intensely than the songs on AP. I also think that Glenn's
voice is more dynamic.
  AP is still a SOLID work by a SOLID band who I bet put on one HELL of a
show. As a Misfits listener I can't help but compare and put my two cents
out here, but I WON'T sit around and slag the new Misfits simply because
they are different than the original Misfits. Change is necessary. HEADS
off to the Misfits!

> Subject: FITS on the Radio!

 You fiends always seem so amazed to hear the Misfits on the radio. I realize
that it is a pretty amazing thing when you hear them on COMMERCIAL radio, but
believe me, they have been played on COLLEGE radio stations for quite some time,
I'm sure. I personally have been playing the Misfits, both old and new, on my
radio show for the past three years (including the entire "American Psycho" the
week we received it in the mail), and I'm sure that I'm not the only fiend in
the country who has done so. Yeah, it's not as cool as hearing them on the
stations that have mega-wattage, but it's better than nothing at all.
 My point is that for those of you out there who can't seem to find the Misfits
on any COMMERCIAL radio stations, try tuning in a COLLEGE radio station sometime
and maybe you'll get your wish. (If not, that's what request lines are for.
Believe me, college disc jockeys jump at the chance to play listeners'
requests.)

Subject: vinyl needed

A fiend of mine was wondering if anyone would like to sell the Halloween 7",
the Horror Business 7" (on yellow vinyl of course) or Three Hits From Hell 7"
(orange label preferred).

I would also like to know how much the Bullet 7" on red vinyl is worth.  Mine
was given to me by my ninth grade English teacher and he didn't give me the
lyric sheet, but it is in very good condition.

I saw the misfits 
open for megadeth on friday night in denver (first time i've been able to 
log in since).  show was great and megadeth played holey wars first which 
is the only megadeth song I really like, and I wanted to meet the misfits 
pretty bad so I left.  I hung out at the bus for a while and jerry came 
out and talked to me and 3 others who left early.  he said they're opening 
up for megadeth to push records.  he apparently was tired and said goodbye 
to us and was going to sleep.  doyle was on the bus but wasn't talking 
really.  so we waited for Michael to come back from the showers.  a girl 
waiting with me knew him pretty well because he helped her out a year ago 
when she was homeless or something.  anyway, he came back and we talked 
for a while.  He said Mustaine asked them to open for them, but I don't 
know if he was serious about that.  he also said they finished filming 2 
videos, one for American Psycho and one for Dig up her bones.  the strait 
jacket he's wearing on stage is from the video he said. he said he knows 
of someone who has tapes of his band before misfits, and i told him if 
ever got ahold of those, to get a copy to someone on the bible because 
there are people who'd like to hear it.

Hey,

Did anybody else see the guy on jenny jones with the devilock

related on a talk show.  I saw some chick on maury with
the '95 skull' shrit on, and there was this guy on ricki
with a big ol' mohawk, that had the Crimson Ghost painted on
his jacket.  Ricki called these people in the audience freaks,
and this girl said, "we're not freaks, we're punk rockahs!" HAHAHA!!!

greetings, hellhounds:
  1st the bad news:just bought an Unholy Passion (2nd printing?) from a
guy who posted a few "issues" back...between his place and mine it went
from a "exc.-near mint" to a "pretty f****d up" sleeve! this certainly
may not be his fault, but 1 of 2 things happened:
1. his condition grading was WAY off...near mint means just that: near
MINT...i.e. no severe creases on the corners, etc! see Goldmine!
2.the postal service MANHANDLED my damned parcel!!!this is probably what
happened, but the lesson to be learned here is: pack the record you are
sending between some cardboard or something..ANYTHING!this will save
BOTH parties a lot of headache AND heartache!

 ANYWAY, on to happier pastures... JUST SAW THE ALMIGHTY MISFITS LAST
NIGHT IN ST LOUIS!!! these guys are perhaps the NICEST group of people
I've ever met!after waiting many hours to try to see the guys before the
show, we became worried...we didnt get to see them before...we went in,
got to the very front, and were blown away as usual by their
electrifying set I got to sing along with 20 Eyes AND 138(which i messed
up a little--hehe)...when the "Fits see you singing along, you WILL be
rewarded! at the end i even caught Chud's stick!the best was still yet
to come, tho!
  We went out back to try to meet them by their Winnebago(!) and THEY
ALL CAME OUT AND HUGGED US AND SIGNED OUR STUFF AND TALKED FOR A LONG
TIME!!! IN THE RAIN!!!!I gave Jerry the Crimson Ghost sculpture I did
and he stuck it in the front window of the Winnebago! I was thrilled!
Such unparalelled kindness and concern for the fans is something you
RARELY see from ANY band nowadays...I'm still reeling! Jerry even gave
me his wristband! HAIL THE MISFITS!!!

Why dose almost every Fits fan hate Metallica, Megadeth, or Metal in Gernal.
I am a huge Metallica fan, Metallica introduced me to the Misfits by wearing
their t-shirts. When I went to by Misfits collection 1 I thought the Fits
were going to be some really heavy goth-type band but i was introduced to a
whole new world of hard music that represented the darker side of punk music

I just wanted to tell you guys that I decided to sell the Unholy Passion
vinyl (1st press, tan cover, black vinyl).  Mark from Graveyard Records is
still wanting $100 for it, so I'm gonna throw in a few things--an audio
recording of Beware and the Rest and the Passiac, NJ show (X-Mas '81), a
video of a Misfits show from 82/83 (a copy of the one they did for the TV
show), and a choice of either the 6/24/97 Agent Orange show (includes the
interview that is in the new issue of Vibrations of Doom webzine) or the
7/14/97 Oppressor/Malevolent Creation show (includes an interview with
Oppressor)--both videotaped in great quality 8mm by yours truly at Bay Street
Bar in Savannah, GA.  First one to finalize the deal gets all this!

Also, check out the Vibrations of Doom Homepage and feast your eyes on the
latest issue:
         www.kmf.org/~cl/vod_home.html

Hopefully, I'll be going to the Misfits show in Atlanta at the Masquerade--I
just need off from work the next day.  And they're headlining!  No Megadeth,
a longer Misfits set, and a chance to hang with the guys after the show--what
more could you ask for!  Can't wait to see them again!  Later, fiends!

Now this is odd: you seem to be questioning us fellow subsribers, in an

Okay, Danzig, Samhain, and the real Misfits. Who is still making Misfits
music? As I see it, no one. Sure, some may like AMERICAN PSYCHO, and some
may not, but some on both sides also say it's not really the Misfits.

Oh your right, "Static Age" and "Come Back" are just pure misses. Since
you've now informed us all of our opinions, I hope we can all all mail-in
our STATIC AGE CDs to you, to have those tracks scratched off. Wait a
minute, we'll also have to erase parts of LEGACY OF BRUTALITY and BOXSET
DISC FOUR, because they also contain those songs. Ahh, while we're at it
we should just trash all original Misfits recodings, since they are not
100% artistic masterpieces like AMERICAN PSYCHO.

I hope you'd rather watch one "Misfits" show, becausethe "true raw 
menacing energy" of a Danzig show would be too much for you to handle. You
see, when you call Glenn a fudge-packer and a midget and all that to his
face, he'd probably beat the living hell out of you, without even breaking
his own sweat. Whoops! I forgot, you wouldn't say that to his face.

And for all those of you who think I'm just kissing Glenn's ass, as you no
doubt believe I always do,  let me just say that I have no problem with
people's opinions, provided they do not idiotically belittle others'
opinions as this guy did. I also have this problem with nobodies shooting
their mouths off when the target isn't around. If you hate Danzig, then
that's great, but if you're going to pepper your critique with stupid
name-calling and instigators, even when you and everyone else knows damn
well that the guy could easily hospitalize you, then you're just talking
out of your ass. I am truly not sure if it's possible for anyone to
criticize Glenn's talent or abilities without somehow resorting to insults
about his height, his character, or his hobbies, or whatever. But it has
to be possible; I'm just saying that I can't recall any who have done it.

Feeling a little delusional there pal? When I bought my Crimson Ghost
shirt, I just thought I was doing a little advertising for my musical
preferences, or better yet, looking "cool" -- as if there's such a thing.

Actually, he is supposed to replace Glenn Danzig. Glenn WAS vocalist,

As for the music: I'm no musician, but from what I gather, they didn't
improve it much, and they had about 15 years practise time. As for the
lyrics, no one said were "deep" or "meaningful" (oh wait, sorry, Jerry
basically said that in the Dutch i/v reprinted a few issues ago, I forgot)
-- but the old lyrics were FAR better than those on AP.AAs someone pointed
out a while back, Glenn was and is infinitely better than the new
Misfits at communicating imagery, evoking mood, etc.  Also, you should
note that the boxset text contains numerous lyrical errors.

That's nice, but it's really pointless to compare the old and new Misfits
on the basis of the complexity of their musical arrangements, because
neither are very demanding. And didn't you say in the beginning of your
post that it was stupid to make comparisons between the two bands? And
more, didn't you define them as only one band?

Why has all of the this new/old Misfits, Michale/Glenn thing gone so out
of hand lately? Why do you people even bother posting if all you're going
to do is say "anyone who _________ the new Misfits/Michale sucks."
Everyone seems to be upset over everyone else's opinions about AMERICAN
PSYCHO, and about the new Misfits in general. It's one thing to
defend or refute an argument (even with some sarcasm, as I do), but
it's quite another to get all riled up just because someone doesn't see
the new Misfits as a miracle, or does see them as a miracle, or whatever.
Those who like the band are called idiots and traitors, and those who
don't like it...wait a minute, same thing.  Why?

In conclusion, I will only say that Shawn Michaels' first reign as WWF
champion was almost double that of both of the Undertaker's reigns
combined, and furthermore, Michaels was never defeated at the end of
his second reign.

This is my first posting on the bible and sorry if it is sort of long....Well
i got a chance to see the Misfits headline and the next day open for
megacrap.....The show they headlined was in Omaha, Nebraska on Aug. 2 and to
say the least...it kicked ass!!!  I got there early and talked to all of the
band and i got to hear them record a new song for the Scream 2 soundtrack
called "Scream" it was pretty cool....anyway i was pumped for the show and I
talked to Jerry and he got me on the guest list for the next day's show and
we talked a lot about different shit... well the opening band came on (a
local band called Ravine) they were some grunge gay ass band... then next the
Misfits came on..... you got to picture this place, its a really small
bar/bowling alley.... so they opened with Phebes and went in to AP then did
their usual set list.... and they had open requests they were (Where Eagles
Dare and Nike) well my brother was invited by Jerry to sing Where Eagles Dare
and Come Back..... and I got to sing Teenagers From Mars..... well the show
kicked ass and it seems like it was like all others mentioned before by other
fiends.... I got michale's skeleton glove when he threw it and a pic..... we
talked to Jerry after the show and he told us to be at the venue in KC at
5:00 so we could watch them do sound check..... well the next day i traveled
to Kansas City to see them open for MEGADETH and i got there early, in fact
right as the Misfits pulled up.... Jerry got us on the list and we watched
the sound check.... well it kicked ass just as much as the night before
except Jerry got me up on stage to sing Don't Open Till Doomsday w/him....
that was a rush!!!  Jerry has to be the coolest and nicest band member of any
band I have met.... It seemed like he was an old friend cause he would always
talk to me and my brother when ever he saw us..... I just can't wait till
they come back...... and to all you who want to know about Misfits Stuff at
shows i'll tell ya... they have a new CG shirt which looks like the glow in
the dark one but the back is different..... then the AP one with the cover
art on the front w/ the songs on the back... the prices depend on if you see
them open or headline  $15 if they headline and $25 if they open..... when
they open they also had a skeleton bone glow in the dark long sleeve that
came with skeleton glove for $30 and these gloves were sold alone when they
headlined for $10 .... they have trading cards for $5 when they headline and
$8 when they open .... Stickers are $2 when they headline and $3 when they
open ..... the autographed AP cd is $15 when they headline and $18 when they
open ..... thats all that i can remember and saw...... sorry to take up so
much space but i had to tell all that went on.....

Subject: Time to rip a few wings off...

Hello fiends...

first thing i need to point out only cause i have never seen such a bunch
of bullshit shoved into the bible, actually that is not true.  every post this
non fiend has posted is pure bullshit.  Blag, you have said some stupid
shit before
but this takes the cake.  First off you ass, the Lithograph is not one of
*my* designs
it was designed by Chris Besaw, who i know will deal with you once he reads
the post.
Who are you to criticize someones art work like that, or this another since
Tammy has some link to it lets rip on whatever it is.  let me guess you did
not even see the design on Misfits Central.  or even if you did, that you
could judge it based on a small thumbnail that i was given so the fiends
could get a look.  I don't give a shit what you think of me, if you have
not gotten that clear yet.  you don't know me, the same way you don't know
Bobby.  Yet all you can do to try and patheticly get attention on the
bible, is call me and Bobby names.  or cuss at fiends who do not agree with
your moronic rambling.  If you think that you are cool like Wes, sorry but
he was funny, you are just plainly pathetic.
Plus one thing, since you seem to know so much, as for Jerry, Bobby and the
name The Undead.  I hate to crush your theory, but who ever thought up the
name took it from the movie that came out in 1957 - titled The Undead.
plus if you really knew your shit then you would know that the design for
the Evilive 12" was taken from the movie poster.
Next,
Ghoul - when did you see the Static Age vinyl at Spec's?  I tried to get
them to order it here in Miami and i was left some poor message that they
can't get it in.  Though they had gotten me the AP on vinyl.  I ended up
ordering some copies from one place in Texas.  they were $10 a shot.

If i get dups of anything i will be willing to trade or sell.

by the way, Tim, since Bobby is on a little vacation can you toss me that
fly swatter!!!
Oh, Brett, can you please continue the ripping from here.  I figure that
when your done we should be down to hair and some guts ;)

PS: fiends - please continue to send in your pre orders for the Lithograph.
any questions just e-mail me.

Later to all the fiendies!?!

If you are basing your evaluation of his singing on Danzig V, get a clue, and get I, II and III if you want to hear his voice the way it should sound. As far as the guitars on AP go, better played? I think you mean better, or should I say, slicker, produced. We are all talking power chords here folks, its not like this stuff is hard to play.

Glenn Danzig had one of the best voices in music and it only got better with time.Now dont get me wrond I am one of the biggest supporters of the new band but,Mike is just starting out and has yet to reach Glenns' level of accomplishment..give a few years tho... And as for the fiend who compared John christ to Ted Nugent.... get a fuckin grip!!!!!!I have alot of teds work but he is nowhere near the technical wizardry of Mr. Christ. Ted is strictly an old school blues/rock guitarist and not in Johns league,two totaly different schools of playing(I have been playing for 16 years so I am not just another fan boy). And lastly,two months ago D-rod told me he would hook me up with a copy of B-MOVIE MADDNESS. I emailed him and tried to contact him via the bible and have yet to hear from him.... Also I am now selling copies of the many Misfits,samhain, and danzig audio and video I have,my list is posted at the Horror Hotel at http://www.zianet.com/horrorkid/STUFF.HTML I have shit like the proedge auditons,the earth ad and walk among us demos interviews with the old and new bands,and lots of video so check it out.......

And has abs I could wash my jeans on to boot... To paranoid: I happen to love metal, and not the silly 80s hair band swill either. At 14 I started out with that, discovered British bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and the almighty Motorhead (still one of my fave bands ever, Lemmy is an authentic metal diety!), then after discovering thrash with Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer (still one of my alltime fave bands EVER--they'll never top "Reign In Blood"!)it was downhill from there. I love death metal/grindcore as well, but I'm verrrry picky about that stuff these days. I discovered the Misfits due to Metallica back in '87 and I've been a fiend ever since. So you see, not all fiends hate metal. I love it and make no apologies for it given I have pretty deep roots with thrash/death metal to begin with; I just see punk/hardcore/metal as being siblings with different styles and outlooks and images in my opinion. Thanks for reading/tolerating this everybody! Oh and Blag...you are truly hopeless if you think we actually agree with you on ANYTHING. Get a clue, get a grip, and get a LIFE, please, if you would. Your rambling does get tedious. Shaddap. "You're never gonna get me I'M THE CRIMSON GHOST!!!"

I agree wholeheartedly with your recent post stating that one must at least attempt to be at least somewhat intelligent in one's criticisms as opposed to being immature and tasteless ( a la Blag) or misinformed and tactless. You go mate! But I do disagree with you on Danzig's recent output. I felt cheated and disappointed when I first heard "Danzig5"'s first single on Samhain night last year, and my exact words to myself as I heard the song on the radio were "This is NOT Danzig...this is Nine Inch Nails!". After many years of making valid and vital original music that still stands up to this day, I felt that Danzig was finally cashing in and trying to follow a trend to make the extra buckage. Which may not be the case, but that's how I felt at least. I'd rather hear Ministry or the real NIN for Industrial as opposed to Danzig trying to do something along those lines, progress and all well in mind. I don't consider that progress, I consider that plagiarism, in my opinion. I believe quite honestly that the Misfits are at least sticking to their guns and weathering the criticisms for still playing basically the same style of music they ever did. Nothing personal, Brett, but I thought I should give you my 2cents on that bit you spoke of. I disagree and as you can see I do so in a far more mature manner than most people on the bible do, I think. Catch you later, looking forward to seeing what you think of this. Thanks!

Hey, What's wrong with heavy metal? What are you guys ashamed to admit you listen to it? I know there's more of you guys out there. Sure, I fucking worship the Misfits, that's why I'm here, but I also dig Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Sepultura, DRI, Black Sabbath, Danzig, Dr. Know, Judas Priest, Life of Agony, Motorhead, Nailbomb, Pantera, etc. and so on. Shit, I even like Lenny Kravitz, the Beatles, Dee-Lite, Red Hot Chili Peppers and about a million other bands. Who cares!?!? Don't rip on other people because of the other bands they like, but we should all get along because we are all here for one reason: We're all Fiends.

So if you have the anwser please e-mail me back. > > paranoid Simple, bro, punkers hate metalheads because they're close-minded. As "anti-trend" punkers are, they're all so very concerning about what fits the "punk culture" and what does not. Some say punk is about doing your own thing. That's bullshit, I can tell ya. Try wearing the wrong t-shirt or having long hair and hanging out with a "punk rocker." Uh oh. Your own thing just isn't "cool" with close-minded punkers. It ain't "punk." The sad thing about punk these days is that it's a total conformist style. I went to the Megadeth/Misfits show in St. Louis, and watched a bunch of people walk out after the Misfits finished their awesome set. Now what is the point of avoiding a concert you've already paid for? Seriously, why not at least give Megadeth live a chance, considering most of them have probably never heard even a Megadeth album in their life. It's more trouble avoiding them than giving them a fucking chance to be heard. If I went to see a band I liked open and a rap group was headlining, I'd fucking stay for the rap group. Not that I like rap, I don't, but I've ALREADY FUCKING PAID for them to play, so why not give them a chance? It's not like staying for Megadeth would've hurt anyone, even if they still didn't like them afterwards ("ew, solos, that ain't punk!"). Punk is not a way of life. Hepcat said that "punk is a way of life" to me once in #misfits, then proceeded to tell me what I thought and what I can't understand because I'm not "punk." Basically, because I refuse to conform to anyone and close my mind off to any other style, I come across this kinda "You're a poser / My music is the only true music" shit all of the time. Hepcat, and every other "punk rocker" on this list, listen to me now. I WILL NOT CONFORM TO ANY MUSICAL STYLE, ANY TREND, ANY CULTURE, or ANY "WAY OF LIFE" WHERE SOMEONE ELSE DECIDES HOW I LIVE. My Misfits CDs sit next to CDs from Overkill, Motley Crue, Downset, Marilyn Manson, and Mozart. I know most of these bands aren't "punk" enough for punkers, heavy enough for metalheads, well-written enough for classic listeners, or "modern" enough for every Spice Girls listening trend watcher out there, and I really couldn't give a fuck about any of their opinions. When you gladly pigeonhole yourself as one style or another, you're not much of a music listener, you're just trying to ride a culture (aka way of life aka trend). Okay, I'm out with my rant. Buy "From Hell They Came..." but only if ya wanna. - Deye Mofo -- My personal page: Campy humor & macabre reality wholesale! http://home.stlnet.com/~pdeming/ -- EXPLODE YER LOAD RECORDS http://home.stlnet.com/~pdeming/eyl/index0.htm ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Aug 1997 19:53:38 -0700 From: Deye Mofo Subject: St. Louis - Aug. 4th Okay, following my "I'm fed up with the close-minded" rant... The Megadeth/Misfits show in St. Louis was awesome. Before the show, some black guy was walking up and down the line, preaching at us. At one point, out of nowhere, in the middle of his religious ramblings, he shouted "Hard nacho!" Oh, how I love the city... Inside, I was at thevery front of the 2nd level pit, to the right. The lights finally went out and C.H.U.D.'s monster drumset was uncovered, and everyone went apeshit. Doyle was playing that intro thing, which doesn't sound half-bad as an intro live. C.H.U.D. snuck out from behind Jerry speakers and disappeared behind them again, going to his drums. Michale came up with bloody arms, makeup over one eye, and a top hat which he quickly got rid of (no straightjacket). The band arrived and blasted into a new song, "American Psycho," I believe. Now, I haven't heard the new album yet, so that night was the first time I've heard those "cock rock" songs. Honestly, live, they fit in with the old stuff perfectly. I have "American Psycho" (the song) still stuck in my head. Michale would tell the pit to fuckin' move in between songs, and at one point said, "Don't make me come down there." I didn't expect the fucker to actually do it, but during "Static Age," he jumped right in and walked through the middle of the pit. The amazing thing was, he wasn't using a wireless mic! Onstage, Jerry, Doyle, and Michale ran around like death was at their heels. Doyle pounds the shit out of his guitar like it was an ex-wife or something. At one point, Michale ran right into Jerry and his bass, and Jerry got caught up in Michale's cord. Violence! Michale did do the talking during the break of "Mommy..." None of this "this is where security gets nervous" bit I've been told about, he was just telling the crowd to fuckin' move. He told them to show the people up in the balcony that they weren't just wasting space. Jerry did intros to a few songs, such as "Hate the Living, Love the Dead." Jerry also dedicated the show to the Williams family, whoever they are. They did one of my favorite Misfits tracks, "Hybrid Moments," which was extra cool because they didn't do a lot of the better-known songs. They closed with "We Are 138," where Michale again went to the crowd, singing with the fiends. Jerry Only followed suit this time, with his huge skull bass! Jerry ran up and down the front of the pit, letting the fiends "play" his bass for the whole song! Towards the end, Jerry turned around and hurled that monster fucking thing to a roadie. Jerry then returned to the stage, grabbed the bass, and held it over his head. Doyle also had a new solo in the song. The Misfits left the stage, and a lot of punker-than-thou fucks straight left the building, but that's their loss. I'd basically describe the experience as a chance to go apeshit for 40 minutes to one fucking awesome band. You've all read the live reviews in every Misfits Bible before, so let me just say that there's no text anyone could write to do a Misfits live show justice. Go see them yourself, and stick around for Megadeth! Their show was just as good, but this ain't the Megadeth Bible, I still gotta find that. Lemmie just say everyone that left missed out bigtime. The pit was far more wild for Megadeth. My brother demands to have a chance to write about Megadeth, as he feels they deserve to be spoken about if they're gonna give the Misfits the opening slot of this tour. One e-mail, two posts. Ryan's post follows my sig file. -- My personal page: Campy humor & macabre reality wholesale! http://home.stlnet.com/~pdeming/ -- EXPLODE YER LOAD RECORDS http://home.stlnet.com/~pdeming/eyl/index0.htm Ryan: O.K. to anyone it may concern the Megadeth show was fucking bad ass. They opened up with a song called "Holy Wars" and did several other classics such as "Wake-up Dead," "Peace Sells," "In My Darkest Hour," and "Hanger 18". These were played fast and heavy. They also played "Symphony of Destruction" which Dave Mustain described as the song that all the fucking assholes who never liked Megadeth liked because they understood the words to it. They also played "Sweating Bullets," "Reckoning Day," "Train of Consequences," and they played about 5 songs off their new album. Also, for the encore, they played "Anarchy in the U.K." Which I dare to say was played a-lot better than the Sex Pistols could have ever hoped to play it. It was a kick ass fuckin' show. So here to any fellow Megadeth fan who might read this, and to any motherfucker who gets pissed because I'm giving Megadeth well deserved credit "do something about it little bitch." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Aug 1997 21:14:16 -0400 From: marcia disilvestro Subject: Legacy of Brutality for trade i have a black Legacy of Brutality 12" 2nd pressing for trade send me offers adam ------------------------------ From: "zerbonia" Subject: Bible #361 Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 20:47:30 -0500 I wanted to make a few comments: Blag, man, give it up. Everyone knows your only trying to piss people off, and it has worked on some people. Your a fake, and if anyone got a hold of you, they would probably hurt you. This is only a cry for attention, and its pathetic. I happen to like lots of metal bands and think liking a lot of bands is a good way to see what you like. It shows a bit about your personality. Not liking a band because it has a video on MTV is stupid, in my opinion. And I don't mean videos every other day, I mean like Danzig in which Mother was the only video MTV played a lot.

The first thing I noticed is that Graves accualy can > sing, unlike Danzig who posses little singing ability. The guitars were Huh? Now, I know that last issue I talked all about how you shouldn't rag others' opinions, but this is just craziness. "Danzig "possesses little singing ability?" To what Danzig are you referring? Surely not Glenn. Either you've got a very odd concept of what singing is, or you've been listening to someone else. Listen to "Hollywood Babylon", or "Come Back", or "How the Gods Kill", or "Heart of the Devil", or best of all, the live "Sistinas" on THRALL-DEMONSWEATLIVE-- the list could go on and on -- and it does. The guy can do anything: soft, tender, gentle, loud, screaming, rough, raspy, you name it. And he can switch from one to the other in a heartbeat. As I see it, there is a distinct difference between vocal *talent* and just the sound of a person's voice. For example: Jim Morrison had a nice voice (in my opinion), but he was not particularly great at making use of that voice; he could sing, but he wasn't great. Conversely, there are people who can sing very well, but I just do not particularly like their voices, such as the singer for the Cranberries. Now, if you don't like Glenn's voice, that's one thing, but I seriously do not see how anyone can qustion his ABILITY. > And to finish this up, I totally agree with Thomas Bloomfield's comment > about Danzig and its members. Danzig was a total dipshit for dumping Chuck > and John so he can play his industrial "music." And notice how I use the This is not a matter of opinion: you and Thomas Bloomfield are wrong. The facts are these: Chuck Biscuits quit Danzig in the summer of 1994, due to reportedly personal reasons. He even asked to rejoin the band later, but was not accepted back because he wanted more money and he would not sign a no-drug contract. John and Eerie left OF THEIR OWN CHOICE the following summer, BEFORE Danzig 5 was begun. Glenn left the door open for Erie to return, but it should come as no surpris that John quit, because he has been hinting that he would do so for quite a while -- Danzig music -- even "pre-Danzig 5" Danzig music -- was apparently never quite his style anyway. So on all counts, you two are completely WRONG. However, in all fairness, I must point out that Shawn Michaels has defeated Bret Hart, Mankind, and Vader, all of whom have defeated the Undertaker (some having done so on multiple occasions). -Brett ------------------------------ From: rabid.doctor@mindpulse.com Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 22:52:44 -0500 Subject: m.a. correz; are you crazy?!

I like AP and all, but my favorites are all Danzig's creations like Die Die, My Darling, Hybrid Moments... (Any song except Mephisto Waltz) Danzig was good at creating a mood and feel to his songs (That's why he's so Gawthick) I like Mike, he's a good singer, you can't bash his singing cause it does sound good. But the lyrics aren't in yer face pure piss and vinegar punk. That's kind of a downer. Also, bout these AP videos....Please, tell me they are not Mtv videos!! My god, what the fuck! After all these years...But AP appears to be very polished. I just hope they don't get played (a fiend hoping for his fave band to lose:) at all hours. I hope to the Goddess they don't become the next...Green Day (But so much better Bad comparison! How bout Social D?) Maybe they can get played at two am. I just don't want mainstream alterna-shits and preppy trendies to go "Wow, a new band! They are so cool!" But then, all the current shit they play is pussy soft ear-friendly rock, that's the only thing that makes me feel less worried. I will always love the Misfits, I just fear the onslaught of trendy praise. I like AP, it's good....But seems almost too good.

Webb) It seems like I am the last Misfits fan to find out that the Misfits have regrouped, albeit with a different vocalist. I stumbled across the boxed set last week and for the first time in years I got that feeling. After several restless nights plagued by visions of my past I went and bought the black coffin. On the way to the checkout line I checked under "Misfits" just for laughs. Low and behold a NEW Misfits CD "American Psycho" was wedged between Static Age and some tribute to the Misfits called Violent World. I left the store with AP as well. At home I started with the Static Age CD and worked through the rest of the boxed set. It was an experience to here those familiar chords and bellowing voice after so many years. 20 Eyes still pumps my adrenaline like it did when I first heard it in 1983. After the boxed set came American Psycho (Oh yes, a back to back marathon). COLOSSAL describes the sound of Dr. Phibes which had me peaked for a true musical triumph, but what followed was a bit less than what I expected from such a line up. The engineering on AP far surpasses any of the original Misfits recordings but the content seemed a bit trite when compared to the earlier works. The original Misfits lyrics and instruementation evoked my imagination more intensely than the songs on AP. I also think that Glenn's voice is more dynamic. AP is still a SOLID work by a SOLID band who I bet put on one HELL of a show. As a Misfits listener I can't help but compare the bands and put my two cents out here, but I WON'T sit around and slag the new Misfits simply because they are different than the original Misfits. HEADS off to the Misfits! -Chris ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 00:39:53 -0400 (EDT) From: WantUDEAD@aol.com Subject: blag, who the fuck are you? why is it that the first words out of your fucking mouth on a daily basis, is "i hate bobby steele"? why are you so obsessed? is it out of jealousy that bobby fucked your mom before you got the chance to fuck his first? is he really your father and you just resent him for leaving your mother in the hands of your drunken abusive wastoid stepfather? and what is your obsession with fucking people's moms anyways? you try to come off as this MISFITS old school head, but yet you act like a god damn 10 year old. for such a young one, or at least immature one, you really have a dirty mouth, didn't your mom ever teach you any manners boy? if fucking my mom, or me wishing to fuck you or calling me a choad is the most intelligent thing you can say to respond to my disapproval of you, then don't waste your time, i couldn't give a shit. you can fuck my mom a thousand times over for all i care, hell, you can even say my mom wasn't worth the fuck cause she's too damn ugly or fat or whatever. i just don't care.... anyways, we all know you only say you hate bobby to kiss jerry's ass, with the hopes that when jerry finds out, that he'll make you his best friend. grow the fuck up. if having to kiss jerry's ass is the only thing that would make me a true friend in your eyes, well, really i don't give a shit how you see me, so fuck you. you don't know enough about bobby to have any right to criticize him like you do. maybe you wouldn't make me so irate if your criticisms of him at least showed some intelligent thought behind them. "the UNDEAD sucks and all who think differently suck too" doesn't exactly give anyone much reason to see you've passed the 2nd grade. at least show the method behind your madness other than being just a really big jack ass. how many UNDEAD songs have you really ever heard? did you say none? bobby has never done jack to you personally, so would you please find a different topic for your all but amusing posts, already? YOU REALLY IRK ME, LITTLE BOY!!! wish that i'm never in your town, because if i ever see you, i will detach your fucking skull from your vertebrae and in those few seconds before your body completely dies and you can still mildly see, i will stomp your fucking head in! because i like bobby, i respect bobby, i know bobby's not a homo, and even if he were, i'd still fucking love the UNDEAD! in any point of time that bobby wastes his time corresponding with or has anything to do with such an ass like you, you should be grateful that a man of his intelligence should be so kind to such an undeserving little cunt. blow off little man! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Aug 1997 22:23:55 -0700 From: Inzo Subject: Some stuff, Fiend Club Page, Tims page, MISFITS video and action figures! Tim told me he saw the video for Dig Up Her Bones. I presume it was on MTV. Tim didn't tell me I couldn't say this, Todd Toys (Spawn Toys) are now working on models for what will become Misfits action figures. It is happening. And the highly detailed, cheap Todd Toys are making them. Tim has dubbed me Misfits Web Master. I don't accept the title because I think Kennedy rules the web. However, this is what I am now going to do..... I am in charge of making one hell of a Fiend Club Web Page. The Misfits have some good products but buying them is a pain in the ass! I was told that I'm probably not going to be seeing the Crimson Ghost mask I ordered till October! But things are gonna change. I am to construct a web page that has pictures of the products so you know what you're buying. You will be able to see what the Crimson Ghost mask looks like, you will be able to see what the T Shirt designs are etc.... And best of all, the page will have a secured credit card ordering thing (I guess I have to buy the program). I order stuff all the time over the internet and it's very safe and easy. In fact, I just ordered 3 Tron figures and a Lightcycle and I got to see pictures of them on the page and I was able to see and decide whether or not I wanted them. Tim's comic shop is going to be the one stocking and selling the Fiend Club stuff. I'll talk to MK and see about getting the fiend Club page linked on Misfits Central and stuff like that. I am starting on the page as soon as I finish Tim's page for his store It Came From The Basement. He just gave me a zillion things to put on the page so that will keep me busy for a few days. Tim has a bunch of pictures of The Misfits live and backstage at the Warfield in San Fransisco. If anyone wants to see some. email me and I'll scan and email'em to you. Captian Harlock shirts are indeed back! I have so far made 3 for 2 people and I send email to 25 people who wanted one (I kept their mail) and I have oh let me see..... 8 shirts to make. If you want one let me know. Finally, Over the next few days IT CAME FROM THE BASEMENTS web page will grow dramatically. Here is the address. I think it is the best comic and Toys shop around. Tim runs a great business and is very fair in his pricing. He doesn't price something at some crazy price so it will sit on his shelf for years, it's a good store. Check it out and check back often because it will have things added all week long. http://www.ecis.com/~mikei/basement.htm HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THE FIEND CLUB PAGE IS A GOOD IDEA??

I live in Southeastern Connecticut, about 1/2 hour from the Rhode Island border. I'm getting together with a couple friends who play instruments and love the MISFITS and we're gonna bash out some MISFITS songs. Thing is, we have no lead singer. We just wanna get together once a week and have fun with it, but it would be cool if we had someone who can sing close to Danzig or Graves. So far, most of the stuff we're covering is old stuff, we might play a couple off of AMERICAN PSYCHO. If you are that person, please e-mail me at PudgeXIII@aol.com. 2. Is this Newfits/Oldfits thing going to end? Shit, nobody is forcing people to listen to AMERICAN PSYCHO or to see them live. If you only like the Glenn Danzig era then fine, don't listen to anything else but that. 3. I am looking for SAMHAIN on LP.. any album. I was wondering if they were still in print or if not, if anyone is willing to sell it to me. 4. TATTOOS!! I am looking for some MISFITS clip art to complete my half-sleeve on my right forearm. I have the American Nightmare on the inside, I'm looking for more pics and ideas to complete the other side... if anyone is really good at drawing stuff like that up please get in touch. Thanks.

Date: Thu, 07 Aug 1997 08:25:47 PDT THE FOLLOWING IS FOR THE MISFITS BIBLE MEMBERS WHO THINK THAT THE BIBLE SHOULD BE "SAFE AND ENTERTAININGLY BLAND..." With all the shit being thrown about concerning one BOOBY STEELE-- a person whom I admittedly have never met, I have always regarded him as a second-rate musician and songwriter, and one who is very confused as to which musical direction to pursue. Booby's albums have consistently displayed a distinct artistic schizophrenia that belies his need for the guidance of a higher creative mentality such as Glen Danzig was for him in the past. Having called his band The Undead, he proceeds to write songs about (specifically on ACT YOUR RAGE)getting a blowjob, witches and vampires, and then a few political/punk rants (one a hippy cover song), coupled with harmless cartoony-humor songs. Booby seems to have multiple personalities that he cannot successfully reconcile into a streamlined, cohesive theme for his "band". Mr. Booby also likes to bash one Jerry Only for many reasons, one of them being his ability to make money from his musical/creative abilities. It is my opinion that Mr. Booby would love to to get slagged for this, but is unable to deliver the necessary goods as his creativity is as lame as his leg. Bluntly, Jerry Only has been much better at picking up the pieces left behind by Danzig than Booby has been. As for Booby being a nice guy, you will always find the worst football player on the team sidelines nicer to the fans than the good players. The good players are busy playing and enjoying the game, the shitty ones have no talent or skill to attract fans, so they must rely on being nice, accessible, and a part of the team to get the attention they would get if they knew how to fucking play. In departure from this, Mr. Only (whom I have met) has consistenly shown himself to be friendly and accessible, as well as able to play the game. He's no Danzig in any creative sense, but he's the one touring the world and not Booby. Mr. Only can also keep a band together. So yes, Booby is friendly and easy-going. He's got to be. He's only got one thing going for him-- his brief stint in a legendary band that he was thrown out of. I'd be nice as hell to the band's fans, too if I were him-- he needs all the fans/friends he can get. Booby wasn't there at the beginning or the end of the Misfits. Jerry Only was. Glen Danzig was. Danzig went on to other things, Jerry wanted to keep the band going. Both Glen and Jerry have been successful in achieving their goals-- Booby has not. The newfits are a reasonable facsimile of the Misfits. The Undead are nothing more than a tribute band to mistaken identity. OR I COULD'VE JUST SAID THE UNDEAD FUCKIN' SUCK, AND BOOBY'S A FAGG. WHICHEVER YA WANT. DON'T GET FUCKIN' RIGHTEOUS WITH ME FOR WASTING SPACE WHEN SOME OF YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR ARGUMENTS LIMITED TO PRIVATE E-MAIL. GO, BLAG , GO. BLAG'S MY EVIL TWIN AND I LOVE HIM. NOBODY'S BEAT HIM DOWN YET AND HE KEEPS BAITING YOU PUSSIES INTO PLAYING HIS GAME WHICH YOU ALWAYS LOSE. HE KEEPS THE BIBLE INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING. IF YA CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT...WELL BEND OVER CHICOS AND SAY "OOOWWWWW!" JUST LIKE BOOBY IN THE BACK-DOORWAY.

Please forgive me for talking about (god forbid!) MUSIC on the Bible. I should confine the discussion to trading bootlegs and models. I'm horrendously terrified that you'll kick my ass (you sound very tough), so let me explain. I don't recall making any comments about Danzig's size or looks or anything, simply because I don't give a fuck. I'm just disappointed that his talent is going to waste. If I wanted to listen to computer-generated noise, I'd pick up the other line when someone is using the modem. Why do I get the feeling that you're one of the handful of guys you see at shows that look like they're going to a Halloween party as Glenn Danzig? You were offended about my derogatory comments about homosexuals? I'm sorry. I'll try to be more sensitive to those of you who choose alternative lifestyles in the future. Or were you mad because I insulted Marylin Manson? But can I get serious for a minute? I understand your rapier-like wit and sense of sarcasm, but why would I want to get rid of the old Misfits albums? I think you're one of those people who like every song by a band simply because it's performed by that band. I don't think American Psycho is a masterpiece. After subsequent listenings, I've decided Mars Attacks is sub-par. That's beside the point. Yes, I think a pre-Danzig 4 show would be something to see. Friends who saw them play with Suicidal Tendencies and Metallica said it was incredible. My brother saw them with Type-O Negative. Type-O sucked (of course), but he said Danzig performed well. I can tell you what I think is funny. I think it's funny that because I talked about Danzig's downturn in talent, he should perform physical violence upon me. I think it's funny that you've never laid eyes on me, don't know me, and yet you're positive he could "beat the living hell (ooh, a cuss word!) out of me without even breaking a sweat." I didn't talk about his height, character or hobbies. I don't care who he can "beat the living hell out of." I just care that he's jumping on the technoqueer bandwagon. See, the problem with people like you is that you sit behind your little computer screen and throw vague threats at people who you know you'll never see, hence you'll never get knocked around by them (like back in high school when the men's water-polo team used to steal your lunch money). I know dressing up like Glenn, growing your fingernails long and listening to Ministry makes you feel tough. But this is the real world. The Misfits are a BAND. They aren't something that was created so that people could buy action figures for Kryst sake. They're there to play music. I could care less about who could beat up who. Your whining and idle threats remind me of when those lipstick-wearing fags Axl Rose and Vince Neil were having a little tiff and wanted to settle it in a boxing ring. They both knew they weren't going to get hurt. That's what motivates you. So reread my last post. I didn't insult Glenn's looks, height, age, hair color, gender, race, creed, color, religion or anything else. I insulted his ability to play real music. I hope this clears up our misunderstanding. I hope you don't come looking for me, I'm sure you're a very tough customer. I can tell by the way you type! Unfortunetly, I won't be able to hear your response because I won't be near a computer for the next month. Too bad, I'm sure you'd tell me how the technician for the Spice Girls is going to beat me up. Wait a second.

It's on Showtime at 9 p.m. (CST) Sundays. Here's a brief description from the July 18th edition of the Chicago Sun-Times: "Director Ridley Scott teams with filmmaking brother Tony Scott as executive producers of `The Hunger,' their first weekly cable TV series...[T]he Scott project establishes a tone of dark eroticism with macabre situations in eerie settings. Aimed at adults with a taste for unconventional sensations, the tingling `Hunger' feeds on a mixed diet of story ideas from `Alfred Hitchcock Presents,' `The Legacy,' `Red Shoe Diaries' and `The Outer Limits.' Terence Stamp suggests a dangerous supernatural presence as the diabolical host of each half-hour psychodrama in the visually striking anthology. One expects bold images from Ridley Scott, who filmed `Blade Runner' and `Alien.' Tony Scott's 1983 vampire feast `The Hunger' gave the British brothers a title for their kinky anthology." I haven't had the chance to watch an episode yet, but the series sounds cool. Does anyfiend know if the 1983 vampire flick was the inspiration for the Misfits' song "The Hunger"? By the time you fiends read this, I will have seen the Misfits in concert again. Here's hoping that they're tighter than they were the last time I saw them live. Woah-Oh-Oh!

Hello fiends... first off i would like to apologize for the following, but it is needed since i have had enough of this constant bashing in recent days of Bobby Steele, Brett, Tim and myself. Well Blag I guess you are probably waiting for this, i can just see you searching the bible for any mention of your name. Hoping that you could start a new fight with some other fiend that does not agree with your warped and senseless ideas. I see you have resorted to name calling as usual, so patheticlly predictable. You claim that "I(you, since other wise you would not understand your own quote) am one of the few True fiends that posts on here(bible)" You a TRUE fiend, that is actually funny, you made a funny. Good for you. And being such a TRUE fiend where have you shared or contributed on the bible or Misfits Central? I don't seem to recall you ever having anything worth while to say since you first posted. Do you collect? You know i have never noticed your name up on the collectors list on Misfits Central either. Have you seen the Misfits at any of the shows last year or this year? Have you ever seen Danzig on tour from 1988 - 1997? Your such a TRUE fiend that in 10 years you had to have seen something. You also say that everything you have said is fact or truth. Yet not once have you ever given an answer to why you hate Bobby, when you saw him and where. Since Bobby could show where he has been with all sorts of bills, check statements and such for years of his touring. You would think that you would want to prove for a fact that he was in your state when you claim you ment him. Now you claim that i'm mad at you since i supposedly want you. Now why would i want you ? You are very unintelligent, you make bogus claims, you seem very jealous of Bobby Steele, Brett, and Tim. Plus your a poor excuse for a Fiend. I think i have better taste than that, plus You hate someone I like, and I would pick Bobby Steele over you any day. At least he's smart and talented. Your lucky if you can complete a whole sentense. I see you have somemore name calling for me, plus Maroon is a color if you look it up. You need to ask your Mommy to buy you a new dictionary. Now you claim that i'm a fake fiend. Wow, i just don't know what to say. I guess all these years of listening to the Misfits, Samhain and Danzig, collecting the records, meeting and hanging out with most of the band members, being a horror kid as long as i have and contributing as much as i can to the Bible and Misfits Central for the past 1 1/2 years just does not honor me to be a TRUE FIEND as you seem to think you are. And to think I thought i was a fiend for the past 10 years or so. I must be missing something. Damn, you seem to know all the horror connections to the Misfits too, maybe you should run this years Halloween Horror Trivia Constest. Though i think the other fiends would be very disappointed. Especially since last years grand prize is something i doubt you could ever match. An autographed alternate sleeve from Horror Business is nothing to sneeze at. Also if i remember correctly you did not answer any questions last year either. Well i guess you ended your post in your usual way, something stupid and refering to low life, about a pimp. You must be hoping that i get upset or yell at you, right? What is there to yell at, who the hell yells at flys? I usually ask for a fly swatter from Bobby, though as i had said earlier he is on a small vacation and well deserved. I guess it is time to just act naturally in the true fiendish way. Lets rip this sucker wigs off and smash it a couple times under my shoe. the only way to really see a the guts and stuff. Blag, i would say have a nice day, though i doubt you would understand the meaning of that. Death, well i'm sure Brett and Tim can take care of that for me.

Blag, I forwarded your post directly to Tammy this time, as it had no Misfits content and was contributing to the immense oversize of the bible. I had to scale last issue down by postponing messages until Monday's bible. Sorry everybody - that's what happens when non-Misfits stuff abounds. I try to keep each issue size under 61440 bytes, since that's the maximum allowable email size for Juno.com users, and we have plenty of them. I also had to scale down Monday's issue as there were about 15 more posts than usual, half of which seemed to be resonding to Blag and Blag-related rants.

I don't usually comment on non-Misfits issues, but this was right on. Hey Justin, I think I was too hard on you last year about your out-of-place posts. Sorry. Also, thanks for putting the "From Hell They Came..." page together. While I'm on the subject - AZ was kind enough to send me a preview copy of "From Hell They Came..." (thanks buddy!) and I have it right here in front of me. I listened to it last night, and was very impressed. Like Jake Starr's "4 Hits From Mars" 7", this album captures the raw energy that the Misfits had in a way that other tributes I have heard don't. One great thing about this compilation is that it features bands that we've all heard about on the bible for years now. I recognized a lot of these tracks from copies of demos that the bands had sent me, especially Bane and Devilock. Some of this stuff was recorded several years ago, before the time of widely available, mostly accurate Misfits lyrics, and I know that some of the tracks were originally intended for the late Evil Don Deiffenbach's tribute tape from '94. I haven't listened to the whole CD yet, but it was nice to hear the "4 Hits From Mars" tracks on CD, and I thought the tracks by 138 and Grave Robbers From Out Of Space were great. I also really liked the SpineTingler track. I was glad to see that one of the best cover versions I've ever heard (Solefish's "Where Eagles Dare") finally made it to an album somewhere. My only wish is that the album had 38 DIFFERENT tracks... but I guess that would have been more difficult to pull off. Buy this CD! You can order it from Art Zawodny himself. He obviously put a TON of work into this thing, as did Keith Noss of Devilock. I believe there are 500 cpoies of this in a one-time press. Contact: Art Zawodny . PO Box 210 .

Contact: Matt Ball 4777 Leap Ct. Hilliard, OH 43026 (614) 529-9005 --- I have some important information about ordering Misfits merchandise. As many of you know, the Misfits handle all merchandise orders themselves, through the PO Box 310 address. When they're on the road, this causes some problems, because people often have to wait up to a few months at a time for their order to be filled. This problem has been partially solved. Corey Fair, the Misfits t-shirts guy since '95 (I know some of you have met him), now has his own web site with an online catalog of Misfits shirts. These shirts can now be ordered directly from him. This is the way Jerry and Corey plan to run things. Corey's page is located at: http://www.soulsablaze.com/mainmenu.htm - he has photos of the front and back art for all shirts available, and even has some new shirts up not available at the shows (mostly reproductions of old bootleg shirts). Please check out his page. For those of you without web access, his mailing address is Souls Ablaze PO Box 459 Coopersburg, PA 18036 --- Continuing the Misfits shirt topic, Souls Ablaze is also beginning production (finally) of the official Misfits bible t-shirt. Some of you may remember voting on the design last year. Well, it's finally on the way. I will have more information in the near future. For more info, take a look at http://misfits.plan-9.com/shirts.html --- Next, I now have a scan of the Misfits' DIG UP HER BONES blue vinyl 7" on the web page. Unfortunately, these singles are not publicly available. They were sent ONLY to radio stations and to selected record stores and are NOT for sale at this time. The single should be publicly released in the next few months. --- Remember, think before you post, or don't post at all. Mark ------------------------------ Subject: MR NICE GUY . . . NOT From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) Date: Sun, 10 Aug 1997 15:47:57 EDT >From: "Matt Richards" >Subject: wasted words concerning Booby and GO BLAG, GO!!! >Date: Thu, 07 Aug 1997 08:25:47 PDT > > THE FOLLOWING IS FOR THE MISFITS BIBLE MEMBERS WHO THINK THAT THE >BIBLE SHOULD BE "SAFE AND ENTERTAININGLY BLAND..." > With all the shit being thrown about concerning one BOOBY STEELE-- a >person whom I admittedly have never met, I have always regarded him as >a second-rate musician and songwriter, and one who is very confused as >to which musical direction to pursue. Let's translate this: The first few items are just a matter of opinion - and you have that right. As far as 'direction' goes . . . maybe you can show me where, in the PUNK ROCKERS BOOK OF OFFFICIAL RULES" it says that I can't do what I wanna do, when I wanna do it. As far as second rate songwrirting; I still say "evening of Desire. Delight in your screams / you're the girl of my dreams" is a lot better that "We're ready to roll / we're ready to roll / we're ready to roll . . . Get ready to rock". I can feel pretty safe to assume that Jerry didn't write any of the better lyrics on the new album. >Booby's albums have consistently >displayed a distinct artistic schizophrenia that belies his need for >the guidance of a higher creative mentality such as Glen Danzig was >for him in the past. It's called VERSATILITY > Having called his band The Undead, he proceeds to write songs about >(specifically on ACT YOUR RAGE)getting a blowjob Close. Actually, it's about S&M. The blowjob is just one part of the act. That song was written in 1985, I believe - a subject matter that Glenn has just recently discovered. >, witches and vampires, Actually, UNDEAD is about seeing my friends become junkies - or joining religious cults. Cool analogy - HUH ? >and then a few political/punk rants (one a hippy cover song), And a damn good one, too. > coupled >with harmless cartoony-humor songs. Booby seems to have multiple >personalities that he cannot successfully reconcile into a >streamlined, >cohesive theme for his "band". I seem to remember another band, that must've REALLY SUCKED. They did songs about GIRLS (Sweet little Ramona / Sheena is A Punk Rocker), the beach (ROCKAWAY BEACH), getting high (Now I wanna Sniff Some Glue / CARBONA NOT GLUE), "political/punk rants" (Bonzo Goes To Bitburg), "cartoony, humor songs" (We're a Happy Family / PINHEAD), not to mention PET SEMATARY (that was a horror song, y'know). They musta really sucked. >Mr. Booby also likes to bash one Jerry >Only for many reasons, one of them being his ability to make money >from >his musical/creative abilities. Uhhh. I don't bash Jerry. Read up. He's the one that did all the bashing. He's also the one that DENOUNCED THE MISFITS many years ago. He called DANZIG 1 a "FLOP". He set the rules; I'm just playing HIS game. >Bluntly, Jerry Only has been much better at picking up the pieces left >behind by Danzig than Booby has been. Picking up the pieces ? I think you mean eating the scraps >As for Booby being a nice guy, >you will always find the worst football player on the team sidelines >nicer to the fans than the good players. The good players are busy >playing and enjoying the game, the shitty ones have no talent or skill >to attract fans, so they must rely on being nice, accessible, and a part >of the team to get the attention they would get if they knew how to >fucking play. This made me laugh - especially as I read on . . . > In departure from this, Mr. Only (whom I have met) has consistenly >shown himself to be friendly and accessible, As in ", the shitty ones have no talent or skill to attract fans, so they must rely on being nice, accessible, and a part of the team to get the attention they would get if they knew how to fucking play." You know who else is really nice to everyone, and acts like their best friend ? a USED CAR SALESMAN. He needs to sell you a piece of shit for more than it's worth - so he offers you a cigarette, gives your kid a lollipop and condescendingly rubs the little tyke's head . . . he might even tell you how goegeous you fat wife is. Anything to make the sale. When the car won't run - he doesn't know you. >as well as able to play the >game. He's no Danzig in any creative sense, but he's the one touring >the world and not Booby. Hey. If I FRAUDULENTLY used the name of a famous band I would be traveling the world too. > Mr. Only can also keep a band together. For a whole 2 years, so far. Wow ! he must be God. I wonder why Rocky called me last year and asked me to take over the guitar slot. I wonder why so many of Doyle's frineds tell me he's being coerced into playing for Jerry - when he'd much rather stay home with his wife and new baby. Mr. Only did squat for 13 years. Oh sorry. He had that phenominal metal act KRYST THE CONQUERROR - which he sunk $250,000.00 into and it didn't sell one tenth the number of copies as the UNDEAD album you described earlier. > So yes, Booby is friendly and easy-going. I can tell you never met me. > He's got to be. He's only >got one thing going for him-- his brief stint in a legendary band that >he was thrown out of. I'd be nice as hell to the band's fans, too if I >were him-- he needs all the fans/friends he can get. I'd be nice to the fans too, if I needed to keep them from believing that I was scamming millions from them and the people who actually played on the record. > Booby wasn't there at the beginning or the end of the Misfits. Jerry >Only was. Glen Danzig was. Danzig went on to other things, Jerry >wanted to keep the band going. Jerry wanted to do another metal band. It failed, and he discovered that no one wanted him - unless he could deliver something called THE MISFITS. This is documented, in his own words, in JERSEY BEAT #40. Since THE MISFITS, I have succeeded with THE UNDEAD - even when candy assed pussies couldn't take the heat, I found ways to keep it going - doing whatever it took to deliver my music to my fans. With only 2 full length albums that have sold close to 100,000 copies without ever being on a label nearly as big as CAROLINE . . . or GEFFEN, and recorded for mere peanuts - as compared to those other guys; I'd say I've done pretty well. >Both Glen and Jerry have been successful >in achieving their goals-- Booby has not. Duhhh ? Up until this phoney reunion, Glenn and Bobby were the ones with the records being sold in stores, worldwide, and getting airplay. The other guy was making knives in his daddy's factory - the only job he could ever get. >The newfits are a reasonable facsimile of the Misfits. YES! I agree. A "reasonable facsimile". You said it, not me. > The Undead are nothing more than a tribute band to mistaken identity. THE UNDEAD are a band that people can relate to. THE UNDEAD is a fun band, that happens to mix a little insight with the laughs. THE UNDEAD laughs at ignorant wannabe fools who want to dictate what a REAL PUNK band should, and should not do. I break the rules. I use machines to replace humans - and succeed to the egree that even my detractors have been fooled into saying it's a GREAT NEW BAND. D.I.Y. . . . isn't that what it's all about ? > OR I COULD'VE JUST SAID THE UNDEAD FUCKIN' SUCK, AND BOOBY'S A FAGG. >WHICHEVER YA WANT. DON'T GET FUCKIN' RIGHTEOUS WITH ME FOR WASTING >SPACE WHEN SOME OF YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR ARGUMENTS LIMITED TO PRIVATE >E-MAIL. > > GO, BLAG , GO. BLAG'S MY EVIL TWIN AND I LOVE HIM. N
