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.

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. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Aug 1997 09:25:27 -0500 From: NightSpawn Subject: New Fan/Crimson Ghost T-Shirt Wanted 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. -- NightSpawn xphile@netten.net http://www.netten.net/~xphile/NightSpawn.htm ------------------------------ Date: 4 Aug 97 10:38:46 EDT From: GKichli1@mobile.bam.com Subject: FHTC 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 GK ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Aug 1995 12:26:58 -0500 From: Misfit Subject: cool sightings i n the skate video "welcome to hell" the first song they play is london dungeon and there are a couple of guys with misfits shirts on. also the company scarecrow has a misfits deck out that comes with a free fits shirt and they also have a pare of misfits wheels out. ------------------------------ Subject: shirt... Date: Mon, 04 Aug 97 12:29:53 - From: stk3472@loki.stockton.edu 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!

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 CitizenV ------------------------------ From: JIBBO@IX.NETCOM.COM Date: Mon, 04 Aug 1997 13:00:46 - Subject: static age hey, on the static age in the boxset, why is static age on it twice ( tracks 1 and 2)?????? has anyone noticed this???? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Aug 1997 13:32:34 -0500 Subject: undead test press From: socalledpunk@juno.com (Tony S.) 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 really is a test pressing and if it is how much it is worth. -Tony S. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Aug 1997 15:28:25 -0500 From: Preferred Customer 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.

Subject: Mosh Pits at Shows This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------7B5D378716F5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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 Demonbane138 -aka- Rich P.S. - I use Yahoo chat a lot so stop in and see me and let me know what you think about what I said! and check out my site sometime I am working on a Misfits room in there.... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Aug 1997 22:02:17 - (EDT) From: ChristoTer@aol.com Subject: Hey hey YELLOW STATIC AGE ChristoTer has a yellow Static Age for trade.

Hey, Steve Z., my brother, CANGEL 13, thanks you again. I can't get that song "Heart and Soul" out of my fraggin' head. Also, I got Static Age (I know, I know, I'm slow at these things cuz I got no money), and In The Doorways kicks more ass than lead to believe. That song is kinda depressing but in a good way.

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! -Chris ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 00:36:39 - (EDT) From: Blag1jesus@aol.com Subject: BZZZZZZZZZZ You wanna swat me? you wanna? yo i sooo scared, chicos. you couldnt swat me nearly as good as i did all three of your mom's and this goes for Brett, Tim and Tammy and everyone who agrees with them, Fuck all of y'all! there aint no way you guys are gonna make me stop, with the snap of my fingers i could snap your little swatters from your mothers' asses quicker than you could say the UNDEAD sucks. you guys think you know whats real and what's not? you guys couldnt distinguish whats real if it fucked your mouths on a hot summer sunday morning.....your stupid ass calling Booby steele a hero, he is about as much of a hero as Yahoo Serious is in Compton! you pieces of crap. he's a hero for the homos. tammy wears booby's jock strap and tim and brett cant decide which one of their mother's panties they wanna wear of sniff.....it aint ever gonna end, never....when booby retires, until that day, then i might shut up, as long as that bastard is alive, i aint goin anywhere, you little mid-card jobbing choadfuckers. you can go and rant and rave about how much you hate me all you want, but the bottom line is.... is that you all love me, im the only thing worth reading on the bible and you all know it. you guys can call me trash, and scum all you want but hey, you arent telling me anything new because i will be the first one to admit i'm shit, but i know deep down low....y'all are loving it......you might call yourselves fiends and misfits fans, but a real true misfits fiend is talking to you.... and what is funny is that deep down low inside all of you fuckers that read my posts know i'm right.... and thats the bottom line cause the motherfucker said so, yeah owwww well alright now. gotta go i got a pussy to eat :) have a nice day......the ripper.

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.) The Recently Graduated and Therefore Now Retired College DJ, C.W.

Secondly, I found a copy of the Violent World tribute record on green swirl wax. Can anyone tell me how many copies of this color were pressed? The only other color I've heard mentioned was orange.

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. kyle ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Aug 1997 17:52:09 - From: "Riot bOi!"

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!

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!

What is Glenn Now this is odd: you seem to be questioning us fellow subsribers, in an attempt to show us what our opinions are. Think about what band I like?

Sure, some may like AMERICAN PSYCHO, and some may not, but some on both sides also say it's not really the Misfits.

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. > > friends and I left, we were amped.

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. > > Nails fans. I expect to get a lot of flack.

It's actually a tad complicated now boys and girlz. 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. > > It took me 10 minutes to figure out American Psycho (w/ the tabs), > > as opposed to the 2 minutes it took me to learn Where Eagles Dare (okay, > > WED is a very simple song....but AP is one of the easiest on the new > > LP). 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. -Brett ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 00:49:00 - From: knoss@iwaynet.net (KEITH "GWAR" NOSS) Subject: Hello!?

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 ....

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!!!

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....

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?!

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.

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.

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. That's all for now. Keep music evil. ~Pudge ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Aug 1997 23:47:49 -0700 From: Adrian Honey Subject: Portland OR MisfitS SHOW pics not all of them are up i will post my review later i am working amogonst other stuff sorry for my delay Adrian ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Aug 1997 23:56:17 -0700 From: Adrian Honey Subject: my web site for the portland show oooooppppsi i forgot to post the address http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/1337/ Adrian ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Aug 1997 12:53:21 -0400 From: Neil Belan Subject: horror biz!!!!!!!

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. IF YA'LL WANNA RUMBLE ANNA TUMBLE WELL COME ON DOWN TO MY HUMBLE ABODE WHERE I'LL KICK YER SISTER IN THE TEETH AND WHERE YA GONNA GO FOR A BLOWJOB THEN? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 18:20:52 +0200 (CET) From: Blackacidevil Subject: Box Set If there is any fiend in Europe that can sell me new sealed box-set email me please ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 13:02:08 -0400 (EDT) From: Thomas Bloomfield To: Brett Fama Dear Brett, I'm sorry I offended you. 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! Zork. ------------------------------ Date: 7 Aug 1997 15:38:08 -0400 From: "COTTER TIM EXC PP US" Subject: DON'T DELAY LIST #1 IS OUT AND ITS FULL OF ITEMS FROM THE RARE TO NOT SO RARE.

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 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 .

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 . . .

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm no MR NICE GUY, but I do appreciate my fans. Enough not to try to cheat them by calling my band THE MISFITS. Let sleeping dogs lie. It happened once. This tribute band is not really THE MISFITS. It's just Jerry cashing in, or banking on the name. To quote Jerry Only from JERSEY BEAT #40 while talking about the failure of KRYST, "THE FIRST QUESTION THE GUY AT ATLANTIC ASKED WAS, 'DO YOU OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE MISFITS STUFF?' THEY IMMEDIATELY WANT TO JUMP ON THAT BUT I'M WASHING MY HANDS ON IT. GLEN AND BOBBY (STEELE) ARE TRYING TO BANK ON THE MISFITS. I'M NOT INTERESTED. WE'RE BEYOND THAT."

Hello fiends. How are you all? I guess since the Misfits are opening for Megadeth there seems to be a lot of fuss over "metal" all the sudden. I am not sure why seeing as how a lot of us used to listen to metal. I used to love Megadeth and Metallica at one point in time. But don't knock metal because you are into punk. We are all take time to post because we love the Misfits. And if you knew anything about music you would see the similarities between metal and punk and music in general. No one is really doing anything different anymore. Punk and metal has always been mostly power chords as any guitar player will tell you. "When I Come Around" by Green Day and "Glycerine" by Bush and "Skulls" by the Misfits are all the same chord progressions just played at different speeds. Check it out guitar players you will be amazed. That to me is the most amazing thing about the Misfits. Some songs have two chords and they are the catchiest fucking songs ever recorded. Megadeth aren't cock rock or whatever term has been floating around. Yeah Mustaine is probably jealous and is trying to sound like Metallica and looking like an idiot in my opinoin but metal and punk was always about being yourself and not caring what anyone thought of you and to me is seems some people on here have forgotten that. I went to see the Misfits in Indy and I had on jeans and a tshirt and a plain haircut. I look nothing like a punk but I was in the front row singing every word of their songs and yes I do own Sepultura and Slayer as well as other types of music. One fact remains, no matter what trends come along, the Misifts will always be the coolest band to walk the fucking planet. Sorry about the length. I don't post too often. And Eric if you read this, email me and let me know how the S.O.D. show was. I think our email system is screwey. Take care and if you want to talk, email me at SeanC138@aol.com!!!

First EVERYTHING is up in the air until Jerry, Doyle, Mike, Chud and Ken approve or disapprove of it. The figures that are (were?) being sculpted at McFarlane toys, was something a designer had already made for his own amusement. Don't know if they will be USED at all...... The rumor of Mc Farlane considering Marilyn Manson for the next figure set is apparently (but unfortunately) true. But if the moon lines up just right, and the right animals are sacrificed under the correct phase of the moon. The next set will (hopefully) be the Misfits. I am trying to arrange a meeting at the Phoenix show. Hopes it all goes well. The only possible bad note would be that Chaos Comics (Evil Ernie/Lady Death) have a deal with Megadeth. So I am hoping that their shindig won't make a deal difficult. Next, Fiend Club web site, that is something that we need to show as a REAL possibility for them to consider. Not just a mock up, but a working prototype. This is in NO WAY to interfere with 'Fits Central. Just as an ancillary site where you can buy merchandise, or be directed to local stores carring it. Not just a faxable form letter. But a real secure ordering site. It would offer everything (hopefully) available, and if it's not when you could hope to receive it. It could also offer tour info, as well as more info directly from the boys. BTW if you want it in print, you can order Squirt Magazine (a shameless plug for Doug Evil's GREAT 'zine), that we actually carry at the store.... What a concept, not mail order, but come in and buy it. Although we will sell out quick again (we just got the final batch of #1's in, #2 should be in in two weeks). Just to set the record straight about who I am and why I am doing this. I have a 17 year old son who thinks the 'Fits are GODS. So to make him happy, and hopefully make a few bucks too, I decided to offer my services to Jerry and the crew. My training is in sales and marketing. My owning comic stores comes into the picture when I noticed the sheer proliferation of Misfits stuff now worn by my customers. This made me consider the real possibility of perhaps helping them to do better marketing. Also for those of you who want to have my music "credentials". I got into the punk scene in the mid 70's. BTW I have seen the old and new Misfits. I can also say that perhaps Michale may not have the "power voice and presence" of Glenn, he is still a commanding and every bit as riveting performer. Sorry , got lost there.... where was I, oh yes, in the mid 70's. I played in several bands and went to all the local punk do's. I do still like to go to shows with my son, and yes even occasionally mosh with him. So I am not a "suit" invading the turf. In the last few years I have had the good luck to become acquainted with Glenn and his last lineup. And now I count myself fortunate as having met and talked with Jerry and the boys. Hopefully this can be to all of our benefit. If you would like to contact me please feel free to do so. I do try and respond as soon as possible. And all ideas for Misfits stuff will be passed on. Finally, as some of you may know I have tried to correct any sins of ommission or commission on stuff that was passed on to Inzo. So please consider any errors mine and not his. I will try and report any info given to me directly. This way the conduit will be direct. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Webb) Subject: Re to Deye Mofo's rant Hey Dey! Read your rant about how close-minded punk is these days. These days? I was going to Agnostic Front, Murphy's Law and Bad Brains shows in 1983 and '84 and punks were very conformist then. Some punks were so snobbish as to think that if you did'nt have Doc Martins (much more rare back then than now) then you could'nt truely be considered punk, etc. You should note that not all punks were so silly and that stuff like that was not taken seriously by most people going to those shows anyway. Look, of course there are going to be cliques within subcultures and a hypersensitivity to fashion or style no-nos within ANY group, be it punk or otherwise. I remember the "preppie" kids ratting eachother out if so-and-so had bought generic top-sider shoes instead of Sperry Top-Siders. And by the way, I also remember being stuck in a long car ride with a group of "metal heads" who argued the whole time about whether King Diamond was speed metal or something else. To tell you the truth I can't remember any subculture that I have been in contact with that did'nt have this sort of thing going on. Truth is, as you get older you just care LESS about what color shoe laces you have on or whatever and just listen to what you like. Some thirteen years after I started listening to "punk" and "hardcore" (would'nt want to get those two confused now would we) I still enjoy it and make no BONES about it even if I do have a ponytail (for-shame!) and wear Brooks Brothers shirts (eegads!)

I apologize for taking up so much room, but I'm sure 2 or 3 people may care. Yes, I like detail. Friday, August 8, 1997. Aragon Ballroom. Chicago, Illinois. Show starts 7:30, doors open one hour earlier, we arrive--4:30. Only to find an already long line of about 50 Fiends, yes Fiends, about 2 Megadeth shirts in sight, already there. We wait and wait. The line grows until it wraps around the building. Finally, we are let in. To the Fiends who have not seen a Megadeth/Misfits show yet, get there early--FREE POSTERS. Yes, there was perhaps 20 hanging on the wall in the lobby of the Aragon and about 50 more inside. Of course, you have to rip them down and try to keep them in good shape if you mosh. There are two kinds--the cover of AP and one of 4 individual pictures of the band--different than from the CD. Merchandise--Skeleton t-shirt $30. American Psycho shirt $25. Glo-Go/20 Years of Terror shirt $25. Stickers (purple, reddish, green, and blue) $3 a piece. Cards--$5. Caps (Crimson Ghost w/20 Years of Terror 1977-1997)--$23. Autographed CD $17 They did NOT have skeleton gloves, but you can buy those at Spencers or that type of store for a few bucks. The cards are the pictures from the back of the CD, but they have an almost 3-D thing going with some glossy shit. It's more detailed, like you can see very clearly that Michale is wearing a Sardonica shirt. And to be very sexist--Chicago males, go to the Aragon just to see the girl selling shirts. That was worth the admission price as is. MEE-OW Anyway, we get in. Against the railing. The stage has risen to a good 6 feet off the ground. After waiting for an hour during which we listened to the new Geezer album over the speaker and watched the guy next to us put out cigarrettes with his tongue, the Misfits took stage. Started with--Dr. Phibes. Chud did not sneak to his drums, instead he came out on stage, lifted his arms, spotlight comes on, we scream, spotlight goes off, he disappears behind the drums. His make up and outfit is really cool. I dig the spine thing down the back. Michale is next on stage--with the straight jacket. He runs on, falls down and tries to break free. Jerry and Doyle come out and kick into American Psycho. Killer killer killer. Michale sounds great, the band is great, the crowd is great. They kicked out a few new ones, and then some classics. It was very cool in the sense that they would do about 3 new ones, and then 3 old ones, and so on. Set list in no order--Phibes, American Psycho, Walk Among Us, Hunger, Speak of the Devil, Static, TV, Hybrid, Last Caress, Crimson Ghost, Martian, Skulls, Mommy, London Dungeon, Astro Zombies, From Hell They Came, Dig Up Her Bones, Day of the Dead, Haunting, Hate The Living, Shining, Don't Open, 138 The band played for 50 minutes (pretty damn long for an opener) and they just kicked much ass. I will go as far to say as this, the first time I have seen my favorite band, was the greatest show I have ever seen. Michale jumped down to the floor and climbed on the security rails, letting everyone sing. During (I think) Last Caress, he stagedove (not a very safe thing to do considering how high he was and how far he was from the crowd, but he made it.) During 138, Jerry jumped down to the ground level and was pounding his base. He walked up and down the center security area. When I was at the Testament instore today, the security there were bitching about Michale and how he kicked some of the guards while diving, and that he's the "first asshole to get by them in a long time" or something. Megadeth (or as the punks called them ULTRA DETH!!!) was okay. Not bad at all. After the show, we hung around for a while, but didn't meet the band. We did hear that Michale came out before we got there, looked at everyone outside, and turned around ignoring them completely. I do not know how true that is. The crowd was great. I've never seen so many people get together and have a great time. I have not seen people get along like that since I saw Kiss and all the drunks were hugging each other. This was the only show I was at where everyone around me was smiling the whole time, loving every minute. The Misfits rule.

Hello fiends... well i think this will be a short one to make up for fridays mess and for the fact that i would like to get some sleep. first off i got my copies of Static Age, i have to say i hate this take a guess what color you end up with. Does anyone need a black vinyl copy of the lp? i got three. yeah laugh it up, i got stuck with three extra black vinyl lps. $11, and i'll pay the postage if you want one. Next, this is in reply to several posts. Many of you made comments about this constant flaming of fiends on the bible. I guess i can say something since i was involved in this. There is no point to flame anyone for no reason at all. I only said what i said on friday after one bash to many. I don't regret it, but i will not waste space on the bible for this subject again. Some of you have jumped into a fight that you need not be in, and it is not something worth taking sides for. That will only make things worse. You do the same thing by posting such ignorant things about rehashing the Glenn VS Michale, about flaming Glenn, even though you all know that none of us would even be here at all if it was not for him. It is so sad that all of us fiends were dragged into someone elses battle and then stupid enough to choose sides. That is where most of the flaming and hate comes from if you think about it. It's only that easy to call someone names since they are not on the same side you picked, or agree with what you believe. All i can say is that i refuse to get into this stupidity. I know that i heard all the stories and that i did not let them effect me in judging the memebers of the Misfits, Samhain or Danzig that i have met or become friends with. Well that is enough for me, just remember to get your pre orders in as soon as possible. We are getting close to what Chris will have to leave.

I disagree on all counts (except CHUD's height and Doyle's abs): Michale MUST be at least 5'8" or 5'9"; Jerry isn't in such great shape, and I doubt he's 6'2" -- I have a friend who is 5'11 1/2" and I feel more dwarved by him than I did when I met Jerry. And finally, there is NO WAY Doyle is 6'6" unless he has the worst posture on earth (I know he has a bad back, but he would have had to literally be a huncback when I met him). And I wish 5'6" was average height -- it's more like 5'9" or 5'10".

I don't consider that progress, I consider > that plagiarism, in my opinion. I believe quite honestly that the Misfits Thanks for the copliment. Okay, now here's my opinion: Although I initially thought so too, "Sacrifice" does not actually sound that much like NIN's "Closer" to me. I had heard "Closer" several times before 5 came out, and then I heard "Sacrifice" and thought they were VERY similar. Then a while later, I heard "Closer" again, and realized that only the synthesizer is similar. Now, obviously, Glenn sort of "lifted" that part of the song, but it's hardly analagous to "plagiarism" -- this sort of thing is done all the time in music, and incidentally, there are several older Danzig songs that display this FAR more than "Sacrifice" does (listen to "Into the Void" on Black Sabbath's MASTER OF REALITY -- does the guitar riff sound familiar? It should if you've heard "Do You Wear the Mark" on DANZIG III). As for the "cashing in": many people who believe this did not notice the fact that Danzig has been mentioning that he loves NIN, Godflesh, White Zombie, etc etc, for ages before he made Danzig 5. Why is it so odd that he should make music similar to that which he likes? He made "punk" music when punk was "big" -- was he a sellout in the Misfits too? And finally, as for Danzig 5 being "industrial": Glenn says it's not; he says he mixes elements of industrial music with techno, with "what [he] normally does" -- the same type of thing he has always done. (Let's be realistic, Glenn's "creativity" has come more in the lyrical/vocal department; it's not like he ever invented a new genre of music). So, Danzif 5 has blues, it has "metal", and it has those other things. Personally, I think it sounds more like UNHOLY PASSION and NOVEMBER-COMING-FIRE than any of the NIN stuff I've heard (which is, admittedly, not much). And from what I have heard from any of the so-called industrial bands, or bands from any genre for that matter, I personally prefer Danzig's "version" -- he was not the first guy to do blues, but I will take "I'm the One" over anyone else's blues stuff. You should probably give Danzig 5 another try. Maybe you are the type of person who likes or dislikes something immediately; I don't know. Personally, I was not shocked at the sound on 5, because I had been hearing that such a change in style was coming -- but I still didn't like the album as much at first as I grew to like it a short while later. On a closer look, it's really not an abandonment of anything he's ever done, it's more of an expansion. Either way, the next record or two will sound quite different from 5 anyway. > From: WantUDEAD@aol.com > Subject: blag, who the fuck are you? good question > 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 no, he does it the ultra-awesome way and says "Booby" (now everyone, make sure you don't laugh yourselves to death) > From: Thomas Bloomfield > To: Brett Fama > Dear Brett, > I'm sorry I offended you.

As for disposing of the old albums, I was being sarcastic, as you noticed (or did you?) I like songs that are good. I think all Danzig songs are good -- some less so than others.

Again, read my post again. But since you're so sure that you can take Glenn (at least you imply that above), and since we both know you won't say that to his face, and since you're so sure I'm just talking trash "behind my little computer screen", here's what I'll do for you: 25 Joya Place, Dundas, Ontario, CANADA. Dundas is a suburb of Hamilton. When you get to the Niagara Falls border, it'll be about a 45-minute drive to Hamilton. You can probably pick up a map once you cross -- don't worry, I'll reimburse you when you get here. I'll even pay for your gasoline.

I'd like to think that I used to post good stuff, but now it seems I'm just defending myself, Glenn, Tammy, Bobby, or whoever, and all I get in return is people calling me "tough guy" or something. If some of you people want to act like complete jackasses, or if you can't take a joke, that's no longer any concern of mine. I probably will not be posting too much in the future (hundreds applaud). What does all this stuff above mean? Who cares? Some of you have mailed me personally and said "thanks", "I agree", etc. -- I thank you, but I don't think I ever did anything more than state the truth and the obvious. If some other people can't take it, it's not your problem, or mine. To the guy above: feel free to take my offer. Although I'm still not sure you read my post right. Some things you said indicate that you do understand; but for the most part I think you're way off. But that's it; I don't care. To Blag: you no longer exist as far as I am concerned. I suggest the same attitude to the others who think he is an un-funny Wes Thomas rip-off who could not make an intelligent, interesting, or humorous post if his pitiful life depended on it. _brett P.S.

What does the name "Black Flag" mean? I don't know if that's a real term. My best guess has always been it's a play on "white flag," the symbol of surrendor. A "black flag" would be the opposite, an anti-submission symbol, and thus, still fighting the enemy. Well, as creative as my idea is, I know it's wrong. So, what *does* "black flag" mean? I'm tired of chatting what "punk," the music, the lifestyle, is. Not all punks are close-minded. Of course not. You'll find close-minded people in any, repeat, ANY musical style. I'm just sick of all of this elitist punk shit, man. Punk is almost to music what the nazis were to political parties. Punkers are not the master-race. Before I sound too silly, lemmie say that metalheads aren't the master-race, are anyone else. I just get tired of all of the crap, man. I get tired of the "punk is a lifesyle" bullshit. Punk isn't a culture, either. When it gets to that point, man... When someone can ask you what you are, and you can give a one-word reply, "punk," man, what is that shit? For real, man, tell me what that means about anyone. I can't really take anyone too seriously like that. Regarding this "fashion punk" stuff, it almost seems that any punk the majority of punks don't like can wind up with that name. What's the point? I think the line between "fashion punk" and "punk" can be pretty shakey, man. I've seen all sorts of people get branded as "posers" because they don't quite fit in with the social group of a band's or style's fans. Some conform and try to fit it (be it to punk or Marilyn Manson fans or what have you), others see right through it. I'm certainly not trying to be "Mr. Everything," musically speaking. Some music sucks, some music is good. I like good music. Not everyone will think everything I like is good. Anyone who doesn't like a single CD in my 170 CD collection may have a limited mind, but even then, maybe not. It's just when someone says "this one style is good," that's when I see right through it. "Punk is good." No, some punk music is good, some punk music totally sucks, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER STYLE! When someone won't give a new band a chance because they're not punk (i.e., Megadeth) and "just know they wouldn't like them," it frustrates me, because that is a closed mind. Does this apply to all "punks"? No. Does this even apply to most "punks"? I have no idea. I never took a survey. These are just the things bugging me about the structure of this punk idealogy. Mad props to The Undead for being upfront and honest about punk to me back in the day (like, uh, a year ago?). Bobby knows where it's at. Oh, and the subject line doesn't really mean anything. E-mail me, and you'll get a reply (assuming it reasonably calls for one). Excuse the many typos in this. I know they're there. Tell ya what, if you need to, go collect as many as you can find so you can prove what a total idiot I am for the next Misfits Bible.

In Misfits Bible #363, Bobby Steele wrote: 'Uhhh. I don't bash Jerry'. ...and then proceeded to do EXACTLY that in the remainder of his (over)long post, finishing with the charming line: 'But he's not beyond whoring himself in order to sucker you out of your hard-earned cash.' Some people could be harsh and, after reading the above, be tempted to brand Mr. Steele a liar or hypocrite. I'll just prefer to think he isn't too sure about the correct use of the English language. Incidentally, the very same language that ZERO847954@aol.com took the time to learn and can (almost) write even though he apparently 'hates the fucking british'. Excellent, somebody that hates approximately 60 million people. I'd have thought Misfits toys would have looked great in your play pen. > The first thing I noticed is that Graves accualy can > sing, unlike Danzig who posses little singing ability. When are people going to learn that just because they don't happen to like something, or happen to prefer something else, it DOESN'T mean it is bad or any less good than what they do like. It is quite obvious in the technical sense that Glenn Danzig has a better singing voice than Michale Graves (ever imagine Graves singing 'You & Me'??). However, Michale Graves fits perfectly with the 'new' Misfits, which let's face it, is a different band and therefore can't ever truly be compared.

This is a response to the person who feared that the Misfits would soon share the Billboard top ten with whatever crap is on the radio these days. It will never happen. Well, there's a small chance it could, but really, this band really only appeals to certain people. Whether it's new or old Misfits, for some reason, people I know either love the Misfits or hate them. Even though American Psycho is much more listener-friendly in the actual sound quality dept, it's still a batch of cheesy horror pop-punk songs with a touch of metal. The Fits have always had their own niche, though many punks took to them. I don't think they have the mass appeal to upstage Hootie, Hanson, NIN, or R.E.M. Their music, of course, is a million times better than those acts, but good music never reaches the mainstream. Music has to be marginal and superficial to get that far, or exceedingly controversial. The Fits sing about horror and gore but they're not jerking off on people and sniffing children like Marilyn Manson (whose music is so devoid of actual talent he has to write shock lyrics and cut himself up on stage). The Fits just get onstage and annihilate night after night. Their music and performance is what they're about, not Billboard and eMpTyV. Besides, even if they do release a video, there is no guarantee it will be aired. MTV never plays anything good for long. So feel safe. The Fits might expand their fiend base, but they won't be a household name anytime soon.

Well Punks not dead yet there are a few real punks left certainly not as many as before. I don't think the new misfits are punk to me they kind of sound like megadeath so they should tour with them, metalheads and punks are a good combination. i know there are a few bible fiends that are true fiends, and i hope there are somethat agree with me AP is not MISFITS AP is not punk if it is than its rip off punk and I'll be damned that I'll buy another misfits album with out Glenn on it.

Jerry could find another guitar player in an instant, but with *two* Misfits members, the Kryst-Fits would be "more authentic" or something. someone explain this... if Glenn puts out a techno-industrial-country song ("come to silver") it's experimental, but when Bobby steps outside the, um, "boundaries" of punk, it's not experimental? thank god Bobby doesn't have custom-made guitars with cliched names. it might affect his writing talent. ;) yes, i said talent. Bobby is a great songwriter. listen to Kryst, and listen to DAWN OF THE UNDEAD. see whose songs you are humming afterwards. anyone ever notice how well-researched Bobby is? he isn't making blind accusations, throwing out insults or making blanket statements. you know, like Blag and the other Bible fiends who have taken sides in this feud. Bobby doesn't just (indirectly) say Jerry's lyrics sux, he also gives us an example! he quotes Jerry word-for-word and then tells us where he got the material. that's more than can be said about most of you with strong, vastly unfounded opinions. am i defending Bobby? am i attacking Jerry? 'no' on both counts. i like the Undead and AMERICAN PSYCHO. i even put on Kryst from time to time. i'm just calling it as i see it. ---- Tim Herrmann....loved your post, dude.

I have. I've heard it all. So I CAN make a judgement. I like Danzig's voice, I just perfer his voice on Danzig albums compared to the MiSFiTS albums. Graves, in MY opinon, is better as the MiSFiTS' singer. But, opinions are like assholes.... And whoever said I made mistakes in spelling, well, your right. I can't spell for shit and my keyboard is messing up. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 14:12:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Daniel Herrmann Subject: House of Blues Video? and then... I'll number this for no reason other than it looks cool. 1) I saw some guy with a hand held video camera at the 7/20 House of Blues show. If you're on here, I want a copy. Or anybody for that matter. I want a copy of this show. I'd be interested in trading/buying, whatever. Let me know. 2) I wanted to thank Mark for ending that whole situation... That was getting REALLY frustrating, and I would have just rathered ignored it. I'm sure most of you did. Course I've been guilty of unnecessary flaming. I apologize for those pasts occurences. It won't happen again. Mark shouldn't have to put up with that shit. 3) ********** told us wrong last time - > This is a small addition to everyone: This is not an Undead newsletter, > nor is it dedicated to Megadeth, techo-Glenn Danzig, or even Blag and > Brett. It is about the Misfts. Actually, the Bible is about the Misfits, Samhain, Danzig, and the Undead. Heck, we can even talk about Chyna, Uneasy Listening, and MAYBE even Roy Orbison... 4) Does anybody have a log of the Misfits chat from the Universal Chat Network on July 22 they could send me? I have no frames, so that web page won't work.

I was wondering if anybody knew his set up. It seems to give him an eerie hum (in addition to the feedback caused by maximum VOL). It seems this hum is also present on the American Psycho CD. I like it, it adds a little spooky flavor to the mix. Any info on the type of pickups he uses? Everything else is, I'm assuming, home-made, so I would figure it is these two items in conjunction which produce this noise. Two things of note: (1) Punkture must die, as he (she?) is a complete idiot. Don't take it personally, punkture, just get a clue and then join in. (2) Leave Bobby alone. He usually decimates people on the rebuttal end of his mailings. If it wasn't for his fucked up hair that guy could be captain of the debating team.

Hey everyone... well i went to see the Misfits last night (Aug 9 at Buckeye Lake OH. if you were at this show email me misfit88@concentric.net) and it was fuckin great! first some local band was playing when we got there, and when they got off stage, i went down to get in the front. the crew came out and pulled the cloth off of CHUD's drums and he ran out and started playing something off the new album (Dr. Phibes i think) and then Jerry and Doyle ran out, then mike ran out wearing a straitjacket and tophat. he wiggled his way out of the jcaket, and started singing (again off AP) then the first song i recognized was Last Caress.... it was really great, he ran around the audience, and ran next to me, then he stagecived... the songs i recognized were: (not in order) Last Caress Crimson Ghost Mommy Halloween Hate the Living Walk Among Us 138 Hybryd Moments but all in all it was a great show, i got to meet them all, but chud was only out for like a minute, then jerry came out, and signed my shit (i saw him before also, he went out of the trailer and the door locked him out) and mike came out, and my friend got his towel, and then me and 5 guys started yelling "DOYLE... DOYLE" for like 5 minutes then he came out all in all it was a real great time and i encourage everyone who hasnt seen them SEE THEM! and right now, i think that if you have any doubts who is better, glenn or mike, see them live, then decide... PS megadeth didnt put on that bad of a show... i was getting food when the started, but then dave got all pissed cuz some guy got his ass kicked in the pit, threw his guitar down and left. like 5 minutes later he came out and yelled at the crew for not doing anything and played one more song, then everyone was on their way to their car, and he came out and said "if you dont know us by now..." then he talked for a minute and played ANARCHY IN THE UK! and had the crowd sing along. then he stood around and let people cheer, then they put a sex pistols record on after he got off... so all in all it was a great show! -- Slavemonkey Malum Nunquam Abolesco mailto:MiSFiT88@concentric.net ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 20:32:43 -0700 From: DEVILMAN Subject: VINYL FOR SALE OK HERE IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET A COOL RECORD COLLECTION.

It was speculated that it came from a line in the Ed Woods film Glenn or Glenda . . . Actually; this record had no name when we brought the tapes to England in '79. We kept noticing these signs "BEWARE BOLLARDS" everywhere. we had no idea that a bollard was a block that kept you from driving your car onto the sidewalk, but were amused at the tone of the signs. It made it sound like a bollard was some kind of beast that jumped out from behind the bushes and ate you. Just before handing the artwork to the guy from Bonapart, Glenn just scrawled the word "BEWARE" on a scrap of paper and slapped it on the artwork.

Just a few points...... Halloween- yup, Jerry said it is Hallween 97 in Washington DC. I guess it wouldn't be fair if we got to have them in Philly 2 years in a row. Where does it say bobby can't do what he wants in "THE PUCK ROCKERS OFFICAL BOOK OF RULES"- I believe that is on page 138. Misfits' height- I guess someone cares about this....Michale and I are the same height, about 5'8. Chud is about 5'9. Jerry can't be much taller cause I was taller than him in my platform heels. Asbury Park show - isn't it the 14th??? Thursday? Blag- If you don't give a shit what he says why does everyone reply to him, talk about him, wait...laugh about him cry about him and nail him to the cross, lol, he he he...If you have to beat someone up, just for saying he fucked your mother or whatever, then you have some kind of serious problem, and you must care what he says. If I were you I would just ignore it. Personally I think he is funny as hell. But then again I like assholes, *wink*, and I can take a joke. He has a right to say what he wants about bobby or booby, whatever. However unfounded it may seem. People on here post things about glenn, jerry, and michale all the time that seem pretty fucking wrong to me. I may write and disagree but I don't rally to have them banned. Btw, Tammy, you were the fat and unpopular girl in high school weren't you? You seem to want to suck bobby's balls so bad, did you fuck him yet? later to all the fiendies!?!?!?!................*gag* ------------------------------ Subject: Bobby Steele etc. Date: Tue, 12 Aug 97 02:12:06 -0500 From: Hey all you idiots making fun of Bob for no reason back off. You really can't say the undead or he suck. Listen to dawn of the undead its great. Songs like a life of our own and hollywood boulevard really make the album great. I don't see why people constantly ridicule him or anyone else ,for that matter. You would never say anything to his or anyone else in person why type it to them in a public forum? I would bet everything I own that if Bob made it and Jerry made knives for a living people would trash him. People would say the misfits sucked bob needed his own band or some other bullshit. Even to say the misfits have made it is inaccurate at best. If replacing the songwriter with someone who had never heard of the band previously to trying out, Luring people to shows with the name Misfits then playing more new shit than classics(which made them a great band) is making it then making it doesn't entirely suck but you can see some major compromises were made. One more thing the other misfits were basiclly machines playing Glenn's music. You will never see the drum machine bob used when he had no other band members rip him off and travel the usa as the undead. It will never give interviews saying how it shared ideas with bob, or how it thinks bob was an asshole but its ok because jerry was there when glenn wrote the $ongs. ___________________________________________________________________________ _ American Nightmare fennellw@bc.edu http://www2.bc.edu/~fennellw ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 18:29:48 +1000 From: FRANKENSTEIN Subject: Misfits in Australia Are there any other Misfit heads in Australia on this Bible?

Hello,Fiends. >>From: "Matt Richards" >> THE FOLLOWING IS FOR THE MISFITS BIBLE MEMBERS WHO THINK THAT THE >>BIBLE SHOULD BE "SAFE AND ENTERTAININGLY BLAND..." Matt,I wonder how an inteligent person like you,who once made comments about how the bible is worse these days because of offensive and meaningless posts,could post that.See,I'm not,in any way,criticizing your position regarding Bobby Steele's music.I never heard an Undead record,and I only discovered who the hell he was about a year ago.Still,you criticized him as a person,even though, as you said yourself,you've never met him.Odd. Concerning Brett Fama's recent posts:Another guy who I,on occasion,congratulated for very well written posts.Sadly,he has now fallen to lower levels,fighting ridiculous and meaningless e-mail fights.A true loss for the bible,as he was one of the last bible members who actually had interesting things to say. Now,to Brett,Tim,etc,etc.Had you left Blag alone with his remarks,he would have remained the usual funny and harmless Blag.You enticed him,and now you go,"oh,you should stop posting such useless crap".He(Blag) went from funny to offensive, because of you.(notice,I used the word funny,not hilarious).Quit bothering him, and quit bothering us.Or didn't you notice you guys are bothering us more than Blag ever could? Tammy,great post last bible.Maybe things will start to improve now,intellectually speaking. About the punk vs. metal issue: Can't you understand that's not the issue?Maybe I'm wrong,but for as long as I've read the bible,there hasn't been any posts saying that Metal sucks,or anything like that.It seems like after people started criticizing the Misfits/Megadeth tour,some guys started tothink people were criticizing metal as a whole,which wasn't the case at all.I posted once saying how shitty,in my opinion,that tour was,and I got posts from people saying,"hey,there's nothing wrong with liking metal,blah,blah,blah...".Hey,all the criticism was geared towards the COCK ROCK Megadeth,not metal in general.I bet there are only a couple of "punker than fuck" guys on the Misfits Bible,and I wonder if they ever posted anything... So,people who go,"why criticize metal?",you're mostly posting to people who agree with you,so why post?We all like punk,we all(or at lest most of us) like metal. Finally,to the guy who was selling a Thrall Demonsweatlive back...uh...patch? Is that how you call it?(sorry,no such word is used here in Brasil,so I get confused sometimes).Well,that thing you put on the back of your jacket,if you're still selling it,e-mail me.

Date: Tue, 12 Aug 97 00:00:44 -0500 From: paranoid -- [ From: paranoid * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- I may be a new Misfits fan but, one thing I'd really like to know is will Danzing ever come back to the fits? Did he get pissed at the rest of the band when they broke up or something? If he did come back they would pretty much sound the same, its not like the gutair technique is so sepciefic that they need Franche' Coma. Has anyone aprouched Glen and asked him about it? Or is it like hes moving in a forward direction with all this hardcore tecno shit, Dose he play any fits songs on his tours? I always had the intention that "Danzing" was metal, I never heard Danzing before in my life except for the time I saw his video for "can't speak" on Bevis and Butthead. I got "Danzing 4" two weeks ago and its not metal, I guess its a mix between alternashit and hard rock. Ever song on the album except for mabey 2 are soft slow and slightly twisting, and whats the deal with 66 tracks was he going for 666 but couldn't make it, and on track 66 whats the deal? is this a ode to satan with a acordion. (In my oppion) this album's not good but is not bad, and one thing for sure its no Misfits.

As clearly stated in the post, she said that SHE is selling ARMBANDS for $10 plus $2 for shipping and handling. Anyways, I sent a money order to MIKE DUNN, as stated in her post, and I did not recieve a pair. I gave her over a month, then I finnaly sent her an email asking her about it. She (PERSHEPHONE) told me that it only takes 2 WEEKS and that the package must have gotten seized at customs (she has had problems with Canadian customs before I guess) and that SHE would send me out another pair in an unmarked package. Well, a MONTH passed and still no armband. SO, I wrote her another email and asked about it. I was very civil and all that, and she wrote me back and said that SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARMBANDS and SHE WOULD FORWARD MY CONCERNS TO THE CRAFTSMAN (whom I assume is MIKE DUNN) This I don't understand. IF she had nothing to do with the armbands, WHY did she say SHE would send another pair out? She gave me the EMAIL address of the craftsman and I sent him a email to inquire about my armbands (keep in mind she had already forwarded my concerns to him) and I still have not had a response. ANYWAYS, I was wondering if anyone else sent money to MIKE DUNN via the post left by PERSHEPHONE and if you got your armbands or not. Keep in mind, Im not trying to accuse anyone of being a shitty trader, but It has been over 2 months and still no armband. SHE or HE DID recieve my money that much is known. I just feel like I am being brushed off by THE CRAFTSMAN, whom I assume is MIKE DUNN. I have emailed him and he has ignored me. I have emailed PERSHEPHONE and she tells me she does NOT make the armbands and has nothing to do with them. What is going on? Somebody please help me out. It really makes me sick to think that a fiend would rip someone off like that, if that is indeed the case. Fuck. Also, I would like to add that I have ordered stuff from other fiends [Paul Holstien, Evan O'Brien, Bobby Steele, the guy who sells the tapes over the Bible (Chris)] and have NOT tried to get multiple copies sent to me.

SO deye mofo before for you say that there is no such culuture of "punk" live in the punk culuture cause it is very much there and will realize that it is real and it is one giant fucking soap opera that keeps mainly amongst it's selve. espicialy where you are from, St. Louis, there is a punk culuture, how do i kow well i am a part of it come and check it out, and there is a master race out there it is called the human race and once we all open our minds and realize that the lifestyles we lead and others lead, be it punk, gansta, metal, gay, black,white,whatever, we lead it for the same reason that it is right for ourselves. so next time you DM or any one starts to bash something that is different or it is something you don't understand stop and think about what you will accomplish by doing so. know i am not condoneing racism, sexism, homophobia or other nasty thing like that, but once those people open there minds they will realize that is alright for some one to be a different color os skin or sexual oreintation.

"you havent listened to any of Danzig's previous records so you can't say he cant sing and you are a bitch" posts, I'll clear something up. I have. I've heard it all. So I CAN make a judgement. I like Danzig's voice, I just perfer his voice on Danzig albums compared to the MiSFiTS albums. Graves, in MY opinon, is better as the MiSFiTS' singer. That's good that you have your opinion, but what you stated was different from this. You stated that he 'posesses little singing talent', you basically said that you thought he sucked. Again, that's what it came off as and that's why you got so much flak. Next time, read what you wrote before you post. As for hating the fucking british, I don't hate them ALL, I like James Bond movies!:) Seriously though, I only put that there because Glenn said that in a concert that was recorded...I believe it was Vampira(the bootleg, not the song). I do hate the 'royal family' though because I hate hearing about them on TV. Anyways, I can't wait till the 21rst when they play at Tsunami. I won't post about how "He came out during Phibes in a straight jacket..." because I believe we all know by now that they do that at every show this tour. But it was nice getting some clue as to what expect. Lastly, I would love to see the Misfits tour with White Zombie. Rob Zombie said that the old Misfits was his biggest inspiration. I've read that in several articles, and it's very apparent in his music and artwork. I don't believe, though, that Zombie'll be doing any touring soon seeing as they did for five years with little rest. PS. I was thinking the same thing, that Misfits has it's own niche, and the mainstream isn't fiend-friendly. Yeah! I feel so relieved. Ok, time to pick apart the above sentences and retaliate, <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 13:53:14 -0700 From: Inzo Subject: Black Flag, Harlock, Fiend page Deyemofo wrote: First, I'll ask a stupid question I keep forgeting to post anywhere. What does the name "Black Flag" mean? I don't know if that's a real term. My best guess has always been it's a play on "white flag," the symbol of surrendor. A "black flag" would be the opposite, an anti-submission symbol, and thus, still fighting the enemy. Well, as creative as my idea is, I know it's wrong. So, what *does* "black flag" mean? This is what I know. I don't know if this has to do with the band but I know what a Black Flag is and i don't know why bug spray is called that. A Black flag is flag that means Anarchy. Pirates used them. And some pirates wanted to really scare the enemy so they put a skull and crossbones on the flag too. Speaking of Skull and Crossbones. I know there are actual Harlock shirts made. I have seen them and don't like them. I don't like the actual skull I like my rendition better. I have a pin of the desing and the skull is dumb, besides, the real shirts are like 25 bucks!

Brett Fama wrote in Bible#364 >As for the "cashing in": many people who believe this did not notice the >fact that Danzig has been mentioning that he loves NIN, Godflesh, White >Zombie, etc etc, for ages before he made Danzig 5. Why is it so odd that >he should make music similar to that which he likes? He made "punk" music >when punk was "big" -- was he a sellout in the Misfits too? Now that you mention it, He was punk when that was hot, then metal in the 80's when that was dominant, now industrial. Unfortunatly for him, industrial is much less a factor in music now than it was 3-4 years ago. Was he "selling out", following his muse, or setting trends, I don't know. I do love the "Glenn" Misfits, and the first 3 Danzig albums. To me, Danzig 4 is wonderful from a music standpoint, with the possible exception of "Cantspeak", but I don't care for his lyrics on that record as much as the older ones. I also love the new Misfits record. Am I crazy? Probably, but oh well. :) Welcome back Justin, good ta hear from you again. I was going to post on the closed mindedness, but since you did it much more eloquently then I would've, thanks. :) Um... No offence Paul, but did you HAVE to post EVERYTHING ever released, and a summary of what every item was, and the condidtion? Couldn't you have given a small sample, then asked anyone interested to e-mail you and you'd send them the complete list?

By the way, I went to the World Series of "gasp" Metal to see the Misfits and Megadeth. I got to see Clevelands own Spudmonsters play as well. If you aren't familliar with them, they're, geez, I don't know, hardcore/metal/punk. All I know is that I like em. Anyway, the Misfits thrashed on stage. The pit was wild, and the only comments Micale made during Mommy was in reference to the fact that he was in jail the last time they were in town, and he wanted to see the pit really move since he didn't see it last time. *Note: that was NOT a direct quote, I'm writing this a few days later, and that was the gist of what he said. It was the first time I'd seen Micale. From what I'd read about his antics, I was concerened. DON'T BE DECIEVED! He has fun on stage, but isn't an idiot. Of the 18 songs on AP (incl Hellnight) they played 12. The only old tunes I really wanted to hear that they didn't play were: "Bullet", "Horror Biz", "Horror Hotel", and "Wolfsblood". Betcha you'll nevber guess why I like that last one. :) Megadeth was also very good, and I saw many people in CG shirts sticking around for them. Anyway, this post is longer than I intended. If you didn't like it, I hope you skipped it. :) The Blood is the Life!

So I digitally re-mastered some of thier songs. I'll E-mail copies to anyone that wants them. They are .WAVs but can be converted if neccessary. The sizes range from 6.7 Megs (She) to 15.6 Megs (Die, Die My Darling) If you want a song remastered...lemme know. I will not remaster Evilive songs, the quality is *too* poor. Anything else is cool tho. Eventually, I'll be making tapes with some songs on it so keep a look out. ------------------------------ From: "Redneck" Subject: Misfits sighting....Plus the latest exband member fight! Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 19:49:10 -0400 Ok, just to add my 2cents to the pile.. M.O.D. "usa for mod" look at the photo on the insert. The band appears to be mimicing the cover of Samhain "initium", and the guitar player (Tim McMurtrie) is wearing a Crimson Ghost shirt. In addition, on the back cover, the drummer (Kieth Davis) is weraing a Samhain shirt..looks like Initium. To add to all this, I want to contribute my ideal ex-misfits/kryst/undead/danzig/samhain fistfight of the century lineup. Ok...Bobby is misunderstood and glenn believes he is being a smart ass, and begins to fight with him, then, Jerry(being the kind soul that he is) tries to break it up..only to get accidentally punched in the nose by Bobby. Believing that Glenn did it, Doyle then steps in and puts Glenn in a headlock. Bobby siezes this opportunity to kick Glenn in the throat, thus ending his career as a vocalist. Finding this a bit unfair, Doyle proceeds to smash Bobby in the head with an available guitar. Fortunately though, Bobby's hair softens the blow enough to ward off any serious damage. All the while, Jerry is recovering, and vision blurred by the blood, begins attacking Doyle thinking it is Bobby.. Wjile all of this is goin on...GLENN comes around and, summoning the powers of darkness, becomes the incarnation on evil and just destroys all of planet earth. Now where exactly did all of this get us....NOWHERE. Please stop bitching about the differences/likenesses/etc. between all of the bands. The guys were part of a great band . period. some went on to do other things. more power to them. end of subject.

I really like megadeth. Heck, I used to really Like Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer, etc. I have been monitoring the bible for a little while now and it seems quit honestly that some of us (no names please) have a problem with this "It's punk, not metal" thing. I realize it's no big deal and i don't mean to start anything but I get the impression that those of us (once again, no names) who do or did really get into the METAL scene are pressured to defend our listening preferences. I'm not just talking about here in the bible, but in any group that calls its self "punk" or "hard-core" or whatever. It's this simple guys and I know a lot of you will agree... I don't need to defend what kind of music I listen to. Nobody's piss poor attitude is important enough to me to make me care what they think of the music I listen to. I have "friends" that are like this. They say "you listen to what?" and I just have to laugh because they waste so much energy getting worked up over something that can't possibly matter to them.I mean really, who would shit twice cause I likeNapalm Death but they prefer Bolt Thrower? is there some kind of Northern Ireland thing I shoul know about here? (Catholic vs Protestant get it?) I like the Misfits old and new. and I like a lot of other stuff to, including Jazz and R&B. Just a thought, not aimed at anyone in particular. MACBETH ------------------------------ From: "Matt Richards" Subject: lycanthro sez hi to bobby steele Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 20:17:11 PDT WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS A RESPONSE TO BOBBY STEELE AFTER HE (NATURALLY) DEFENDED HIMSELF AGAINST MY ACCUSATIONS ON THE BIBLE THAT HIS BAND SUCKS.(well, there was more to it than that) YOU MAY WANT TO SKIP IT IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ALL THIS-- IT'S KINDA LONG. The original posts that started all this are on the last two consecutive BIBLES. I would have reproduced Bobby's comments word for word, but that e-mail feature doesn't work on my copies of the Bible for some reason. I mention this because I do not want to be accused of responding to Bob's comments out of context. COMIN' BACK ATCHA BOOBY: 1)You can put out any music ya want boob-- I never said you couldn't. What I said was you can't seem to find your creative niche because you're confused and not very creative. 2)You aren't versatile Bob, you're confused. You don't know if you want your band to be political, horror, horny-sexy-stud, cartoony, cynical-- etc. That's my point. If you WERE creative and artistic, you would be able to comment on all kinds of disparate topics in a cohesive manner that connects them all to the central theme of your band. Glen can do it. CONFUSION DOES NOT EQUAL "VERSATILE." You're versatile like SPINAL TAP. 3)I have always maintained that the lyrics on American Psycho suck dick compared to Glen's. I never defended the new lyrics or compared them to yours as an example. I WILL say that if I had to choose between these two shitty examples of lyric writing, I would choose AP's any day of the week and twice on Sunday. 4)You made a big Booby boo boo when you tried to compare yourself to the Ramones as another band that was "versatile" like you. WRONG-O BUCK-O. The Ramones had a stylistic cohesiveness that centered around their spoofing of bubblegum rock n' roll. That was the entire point. They dealt with different subjects (like you, like Glen) but unlike you and like Glen, there was always the tongue-in-cheek theme riding through every song. The Ramones were a great band. As for "Pet Semetary" you're damn right-- it was out of character for them-- know why? Because the song was written specifically for the movie as Stephen King is a huge Ramones fan. He used their lyrics (For Blitzkrieg Bop) in the book and when he wrote the screenplay, they were invited to do the song. 5)YOU SAID THAT YOU DON'T BASH JERRY, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO DO THAT VERY THING. Are you possibly stupider than I thought you were? You called him a scammer and said that he was a fraud and was whoring himself out to rip off and cheat the fiends. Your words. Faulty logic here, bud. You talked shit about jerry all over your damn post and you've done it a million times. 6)YOU SAID JERRY AND DOYLE WERE "FRAUDULENTLY" USING THE NAME OF A FAMOUS BAND. Well, ya big ass, I guess since you weren't there, I'll update you. Jerry was a founding member of the Misfits along with Glen. If Jerry was the big scam artist you call him, you'd think he would have been very protective of himself and gotten all the songs in his name back in the beginning. Since he didn't do that, he fought Glen in court for the name and won. IT IS LEGALLY HIS. No fraud there. HE WAS AN ORIGINAL MEMBER. Again no fraud. He's a MISFIT. You got kicked out of that band, remember? 7) Boob, you would NOT be out there "touring the world" if you had some famous band's name. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF BOOBY GOT SLAYER'S NAME? hahahaha. Even if you had Mozart's name, Boob, ya still wouldn't be able to make it. Why? For the same damn reason you can't make it now-- you can't deliver. Jerry and Doyle can. It aint just the name that keeps 'em coming back. 8) Yep, you and Jerry are both nice to your fans. YOU SAID YOU ARE NICE BECAUSE YOU CARE ABOUT THEM. YOU SAID JERRY IS NICE TO THE FANS BECAUSE IF HE WAS MEAN TO US, WE MIGHT FIND OUT THAT HE IS SECRETLY SCAMMING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM US. What is it Mr. Boob-who-does-not-bash-Jerry? Does Jerry have a special "money-cyclotrode"? It's easy to "care about your fans" when numerically they amount to the kids in the neigborhood. It's a lot harder when it's a million kids all over the world who want to barrage you with questions after you play two hour sets 200 nights out of the year and you're over forty. Jerry and Doyle still pull it off. SO I DON'T THINK JERRY IS "THE USED-CAR-SALESMEN" YOU CALLED HIM. YOU ARE, BOOB and your tired-ass "band." 9)BOTTOM LINE HERE, BARBARA STEELE, and all of this bullshit aside-- my opinion, your opinion, your inconsistencies and self-contradictions, this is what it boils down to: THERE AINT NO "UNDEAD CENTRAL." THERE AINT NO "UNDEAD BIBLE." THERE AINT NO UNDEAD WORLD TOUR. NOBODY COLLECTS UNDEAD BOOTLEGS (hahaha- do any exist?), and nobody's beating each other up over BOOBY STEELE LOOK-ALIKE WIGS. see ya 'round. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 00:02:37 -0400 From: "Riot bOi!" Subject: stupid crap on the bible Hi Am I the only one whose tired of stupid crap on here? Of course not. But I am pretty tired of it. Duke out your matches of mike vs. glenn somewhere else. My dad likes 7 Mary 3 and he asked me why I didn't like em cuz he said that they were like the misfits. I didn't agree, and I still hate 7 mary3. I told him that both glenn and mike are much better singers than the 7m3 guy. So, it's not because they aren't punk. They just happen to have as much talent as a lot of punk bands, which isn't much. I'm 15 and I don't consider myself a punk. Although I may wear punk band's shirts or spike my hair up or wear dr. martens, I don't think I'm 'punk'. On some local levels(ie my school)some people may think so, but I don't. I like punk music, but I also like ska, blues, jazz, reggae, and stuff like fiona apple(whatever you might classify her as) I considered myself a fiend when I started liking the Misfits(about 3 years ago) I'm also a Christian. (*gasp* heaven forbid a Christian liking the Misfits!) The only other fiend in my school is a Christian too! (OH NO!) Ever heard of a band called Blaster the Rocketboy? Yep, they're a Christian band, and they make no bones about it. Some of the finest punk I've heard too, Christian or not. And, they list the Misfits as one of their main influances. I was at a Christian concert last saturday, and this guys in the band was wearing an ALL shirt. Their guitarist was using my marker to sign people's cd's and stuff(they didn't have one so they bummed mine) I told him I had a better one, but I lost it at a Misfits concert. He started laughing and said that it's funny that I'd lose it there of all places(being sarcastic i guess) One of their roadies was wearing a Strife shirt, and told this girl that he was in Strife. The girl just kinda said'oh' and walked away. I thought it was pretty funny. I met a girl there who was a Christian who liked the Fits too. Same girl who thought it was amazing that I liked OpIvy. BTW-My dad took me to my first and only misfits show last july. I love my dad. I can already feel the heat of the flames! mike ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 00:04:57 -0400 From: "Riot bOi!"

What about the rest of the songs they've only covered live? This time I'll be able to trade/buy. Last time I was broke. Let me know. 2) On the meaning of the black flag - There's a report that I found on the web that clears it up rather well. I would've just copied and pasted it, but it's REALLY long, and the spacing got all fucked up. So I better just give you the web address - http://black.cat.org.au/spunk/library/intro/sp001492/blackflag.html It's really informative, and should help you out. Enjoy. 3) Hey Ryq, thanks man. Your post was RIGHT on as well. Bobby's a good guy, and people should figure that out. 4) Concerning what lycanthro13@hotmail.com said about Bobby two issues ago > one who is very confused as to which musical direction to pursue. > Booby's albums have consistently displayed a distinct artistic > schizophrenia Hmm... I seem to remember yet ANOTHER band that was like that. They must've REALLY sucked. They tried songs with a political style (Bullet), violent but humorous songs (Braineaters, Last Caress), the realization of problems with technology (TV Casualty, Static Age), thrash/speed metal approach (Death Comes Ripping), love songs (Hybrid Moments, Come Back), strange covers (RATTFINK), pagan traditions (Halloween I and II), a conspiracy (Who Killed Marilyn?), even a hairstyle (Devilock). I could go on further, but I think I've made my point. I *think* they were called the Missfitz (sp?). I'm not sure though. Ask Mark. BTW - You had my attention until you turned on the CAPS LOCK. That's always a good time to scroll down... Bye bye. -TiM ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 14:40:47 -0700 From: Tom Farrell Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #364EVIL HI, I Just wanted to say this: > Name one person who has beaten the Undertaker FAIR AND SQUARE!

To a few certain ass-sucker's on the bible. Stop fuckin' with bobby steele. He just makes you look like assholes when you flame him. It's like that "kids in the hall" skit with that wimpy guy trying to beat up this huge guy in a bar fight. He keeps getting floored, but won't stay down and accept the fact that he's a loser and doesn't know shit (I'm sure you can Identify). Give it a rest already. I swear to god, punks are supposed to be so cool, yet they gather online in the common interest of The Misfits and their music, just to fight each other.

If I choose to do a MOTOWN type thing - I will. Honestly. You sound like one of those major label marketing experts. "There's too much going on here. We can't just project a simple image that'll appeal to a narrow niche". The bottom line is; people like it. People BUY UNDEAD records - even the bootlegs (yeah, they're out there). >3)I have always maintained that the lyrics on American Psycho suck dick >compared to Glen's.

You should know that. After all, it was the best thing Jerry ever did. Let me quote from the KRYST promo kit; describing the song SPELLBOUND - "This is our best song on the E.P. And second only to "wherever I Roam off the album. If you play our E.P. AND FOR SOME STUPID REASON FAIL TO SEE GENIUS behind all of this then listen to "Spellbound". If this song does not sell you than nothing I ever do will" Nuff said ? >4)You made a big Booby boo boo when you tried to compare yourself to >the Ramones as another band that was "versatile" like you.

Mine is different. Sure, I have a tongue in cheek attitude in some of my stuff, but unlike them - I've been through a lot of really bad things. The only RAMONE that ever really had it rough was Dee Dee. If you really think about the lyrics in my songs - I even laugh at my own problems ( I don't wanna Go). I take life with a grain of salt. Hell, I've been fucked out of more money than you'll ever make and I joke about it more than anything else. This doesn't mean that I'm gonna let that slip through my fingers, but I'm not gonna cry if I don't get it. I just won't give up (Never say Die). >5)YOU SAID THAT YOU DON'T BASH JERRY, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO DO THAT >VERY THING. Are you possibly stupider than I thought you were? You >him a scammer and said that he was a fraud I may have implied these, but I never said that it was Jerry doing it. I just said I wasn't gonna resort to that. > and was whoring himself out >to rip off and cheat the fiends. Your words. Here are the exact words (thanks to "cut and paste technology) >>To quote Jerry Only from JERSEY >>BEAT #40 while talking about the failure of KRYST, "THE FIRST QUESTION >>STUFF?' THEY IMMEDIATELY WANT TO JUMP ON THAT BUT I'M WASHING MY HANDS >>ON IT. GLEN AND BOBBY (STEELE) ARE >>TRYING TO BANK ON THE MISFITS. I'M NOT INTERESTED. WE'RE BEYOND THAT." >>But he's not beyond whoring himself in order to sucker you out of your >>hard-earned cash. I was showing FACT here. He said it HIMSELF. While he was telling the public, and that includes you, the fiends - that he has no interest in THE MISFITS; he was actually in court trying to seize the rights to the name. To paraphrase FDR; we must NEVER forget the character of the one who perpetrated this deception (sorry, I don't have the exact words, but I think you know what I'm refering to). I can tell you're no idiot - you're probably just prejudiced because of THE MISFITS exploitation of homophobia - in order to get fiends to turn against me. > Faulty logic here, bud. >You talked shit about jerry all over your damn post and you've done it >a million times. All I have done is state FACTS. Facts that should show you that Neither Jerry, nor Glenn have any credibility in what they've said about me - especially since they've changed their story so many times. >6)YOU SAID JERRY AND DOYLE WERE "FRAUDULENTLY" USING THE NAME OF A >FAMOUS BAND. Here's another 'cut and paste' >>>Hey. If I FRAUDULENTLY used the name of a famous band I would be >>>traveling the world too. Sure. I do believe that what they're doing is a type of fraud. Not because I'm not in the band, but because Glenn isn't. Couple that with the above quote from JB #40 - and I think you can see why I feel that way. Back that up with the fact that hardly anyone bought the KRYST CD, while THE UNDEAD sold a shitload - and Jerry's own self expressed desperation at not getting recognized for his "genius" and I think you can see where I'm coming from. > Well, ya big ass, I guess since you weren't there, I'll >update you. Jerry was a founding member of the Misfits along with >Glen. If Jerry was the big scam artist you call him, you'd think he >have been very protective of himself and gotten all the songs in his >back in the beginning. He's not making that mistake this time. The only catch was that Glenn wrote everything - so Jerry had no rights to the songs. He lied to me about band practice - in order to make me look bad in front of Glenn, and that's how he convinced Glenn to get rid of me. Patricia Ragan (Glenn's girlfriend at the time) has alread stated on this forum that glenn was unhappy about getting rid of me. CG (who worked for Jerry) has also confirmed that Jerry boasted to him about this exact scam - and his goal of taking over THE MISFITS way back then. I stated my suspicions in MRR about 5 years before this all came to light. You can see that in MISFITS CENTRAl, I'm sure. >Since he didn't do that, he fought Glen in court >for the name and won. Only because all relevent parties weren't there. If Joey Image and Myself had been included, things would've been much different. We would've all gotten our money, the box set would've come out (remixed - if it were up to me), and we would've let sleeping dogs lie - unless there was some kind of real reunion. >IT IS LEGALLY HIS. No fraud there. HE WAS AN >ORIGINAL MEMBER. Again no fraud. He's a MISFIT. You got kicked out of >that band, remember? Yes.

Why didn't anyone go out and buy DELIVER US FROM EVIL, and why did it even linger in the $1.00 bins - despite a big EX-MISFITS sticker on the front. >8) Yep, you and Jerry are both nice to your fans. YOU SAID YOU ARE NICE >BECAUSE YOU CARE ABOUT THEM. YOU SAID JERRY IS NICE TO THE FANS >BECAUSE IF HE WAS MEAN TO US, WE MIGHT FIND OUT THAT HE IS SECRETLY >MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM US. What is it Mr. >Boob-who-does-not-bash-Jerry? Does Jerry have a special >"money-cyclotrode"? You're twisting words here. You stated that I was nice because >>"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." As far as "scam" goes. I saw one of the BLEEDER'S DIGESTs - with an ad for posters. They were advertised as LIMITED EDITIONS, but then the ad says they're "limited to an indefinite amount". I think it's safe to call that a scam. I mean, Jerry knows the words LIMITED EDITION would cause a feeding frenzy among collectors, but apparently he wants to make sure he gets everyone's money before he stops production. This is not a true limited edition. this is just a catch phrase - like when a magazine boasts of itself as "COLLECTORS ITEM". It's a marketing scam. It's not a collectors item unless collectors have a demand for it. I pointed out that it was Jerry who was really going out of his way to be nice. C'mon. You never bought any of his stuff when it wasn't called THE MISFITS. Why does putting that name make the same music sound any better? Because he knows there are enough of you who "just want to be able to say I saw THE MISFITS live". He probably saw how well all those bad bootlegs were selling and figured there were enough suckers out there - at a time when he was desperate to save the "family farm". > It's easy to "care about your fans" when >numerically they amount to the kids in the neigborhood.

I wouldn't consider Bosnia, Japan, or SIngapore to be my neighborhood - though email makes it feel that way. >after you play two hour sets 200 nights out of the >year and you're over forty. Jerry is not over 40.

You at least try to keep things intelligent - and avoid the "low blows" aside from not being able to get my name right.

I heard the title was "Bleed Angel" and it was going to be an ep. If it is as good as Thrall-demonsweatlive, it would be worth the wait. I just viewed the pictures of the MiSFiTS figures, and they look great. When is the release date on those? I know this sounds corny and shit, but a stage would be cool for them. With Chud's drums and the various MiSFiTs stage items. I just hope they don't come with stupid actions, or any items they don't need. Sorry, J.Simms but I am going to use the biggest word on the bible ever: anti-disestablishmentarianism. It's a real word, just look it up. (now where is my prize!) And about the MiSFiTS fight, whoever posted it was right. They all were in a great band and most went their seperate ways. You have to respect them for that. As long as Bobby, Glenn, Jerry, and anyone else are doing what they want and like, they do not suck, but once they start to do something they don't like, you can bash them to hell for all I am concerned. I also happen to be Roman Catholic, so there are some religious fiends on the bible. As I go back to school (*whine*), I will have to put up with the various trendy punks (sorry, punks as in assholes, buttheads, etc.) questioning my taste in music. Can I help that I like bands with talent? I'm sure everyone on here has got shit for listening to MiSFiTS, since me and my best friend are the only MiSFiTS fans in my school. Ending comments: I've heard and know that Doyle is softspoken and nice, but in a movie, I could see him running down a hall like T-1000 in T2 and seeing bullets bounce off him as he talks in third person. "Doyle..kill...." Heheh. And if they put Graves and Batman in a two-pack, god forbid, Batman would more than likely come with his handy dandy Anti-MiSFiT gas gun. If you ever watched the 60's show, you will know where I'm comin' from.

A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer on the lips than be seen with you. You are a fiend and a sniveling, back-boneless coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you. You are a bloody nardless newbie twit protohominid chromosomally aberrant caricature of a coprophagic cloacal parasitic pond scum. And I wish you would go away. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a putrefaction, a big suck on a sour lemon with a lime twist. You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in regret for what they had done. I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformation. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, a ferment, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? If you aren't an idiot, you made a world-class effort at simulating one. Try to edit your writing of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly. You snail-skulled little twit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. Your hand even refuses autoerotism. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusional self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake? You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meat slapper. On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on the warm side of Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of your drivel. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicapped space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you (like passing gas, for instance). In short, if I traded you for shit, I would lose the container I brought you in. Otherwise, have a good day. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 13:48:40 From: michael_rivera@mcgraw-hill.com (michael_rivera) Subject: Glenn Rules Fuck everyone on this planet and I believe everyone should fuckin' die!!!

I'm sick of all the flamers in the Misfits Bible lately. ENOUGH ALREADY! We don't need any more flames or flamers here, especially with regard to former members of the Misfits, the band that we're all here to talk about. I think you know who I'm talking about -- Bobby Steele. That's right, BOBBY STEELE IS *FLAMING!!* I know it because I heard it from my cousin, who I know is a reliable source. My cousin said his friend saw one episode of "Saved By the Bell" where the Misfits make a cameo appearance playing live, and he said Glenn said it right there, in the middle of when they were playing "Teenagers from Mars": "Bobby Steele is Homer Sexual". Now, if you guys lived in San Francisco like I do, you would know that "Homer Sexual" is not a real person's name, it is a secret code name that people can use when they want to say somebody is GAY, and they don't want to get the crap beaten out of them with a cane. Glenn also said the Undead SUCK -- so I bet it's not just Bobby, it's the other people in the band too. And before you start telling me it ain't so, I'm telling you GLENN SAID THIS, and since Glenn WAS the Misfits we should believe him before we believe these other people. And besides, look at the facts: "Act your Rage" is clearly a reference to gay activist group "Act UP!" I bet "Live Slayer" means something too, but we don't know what it is because we're not gay. And now he's in this other band "Times Square" -- well that just proves it because Times Square is where me and Wes Thomas went to pick up those 13-year old boys that one time. I mean when we had that birthday party thing for Wes. He said they were his friends. I don't remember too much of the party, though, I was pretty drunk. Anyway, there were some other guys standing around where those boys were, and I'm almost POSITIVE they were gay. Wes gave the boys some money, I think so they could catch a cab later on, so they wouldn't have to stand around on the corner where there were gay guys. >From: eighties@gti.net > >The Misfits got back together?!

As a huge fan of the Misfits and an Action figure collector,I am very excited about this. For those who voiced concern about being sold in toys stores therfore the Misfits being exposed to a mass audience,I wouldn't worry about it. Todd McFarlane had a very hard time gettting a lot of toy retailers to take the Kiss figures.Toys R Us and Spencers gifts were going to be the only stores that carried them,but the demand from the advance orders convinced Kay Bee to pick them up as well. After Todd puts out the Manson figures,I highly doubt that Toys R Us will carry The Misfits figures. They will probably be sold through the Fiend Club,Comic and collector shops,and music stores. So don't worry,your secret little band that only you can listen to because you're the only one cool enough will remain a secret so you can convince people your cool. ------------------------------ Date: 14 Aug 97 12:49:21 +1200 From: Jason Subject: Misfits XL shirts This is the reason why I never sent away for anything else from the Fiend Club. I was planning on getting a few more t-shirts but the first one I got was an XL (I'm an M) which is of no use to me, I sent them a letter about it but heard nothing. So I'm spending my money else where. btw, I would get a Misfits action figure but only if there was a Glenn Danzig one. The Marilyn Manson action figures sound like a better idea.

I was watching an old WrestleMania video and I fell asleep. My roommate came into the room to use my puter when I was still dozing, and he put on American Psycho. I dreamt that the Misfits were a tag team in the WWF! Abominable Dr. Phibes blared over the PA, and out come Doyle & Jerry, looking quite sinister, devilocks flowing, with Michale Graves leading them to ringside in his skull-face makeup and top hat (come to think of it, he stole Papa Shango's image) and Dr. Chud in his werewolf costume trailing behind like a deranged pet. I think they were wrestling Hawk & Animal, then I woke up and LOD was wrestling on the video and Jim was listening to the Misfits.. It was very bizarre, but hey, if the band fizzles then they SHOULD go to the WWF! That would be bad-ass indeed. That's all for now.

BOBBY HAS BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG ON WHAT HE HAS BEEN SAYING ABOUT JERRY. I THINK BY SAYING WHAT HE DID IN THIS ARTICLE, JERRY HAS DICKED HIMSELF AND ALOT OF FIENDS OVER. JERRY HAS LIED TO BOBBY FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS. NOW JERRY HAS LIED TO US...HIS LOYAL FOLLOWERS. HE ALWAYS SAID HE WAS NEVER IN THE MISFITS FOR THE MONEY OR THE FAME...BUT BECAUSE HE LOVES PLAYING THE MUSIC. WELL READ THIS, AND MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION. I AM GOING TO BET YOU WILL SEE HOW MUCH OF A CASH-MONGER JERRY IS. (the full article will appear in misfits central sometime before saturday) enjoy. aaron all excerpt are from SCENE magazinge. august 7-13, Vol 28, No. 32, page 28. ... But Only, the bands bassist, expresses a lust for money only (notice the word ONLY) to help bail out his father's ailing New Jersey machine shop, which thrived on military business in wartime, but sits relatively idle in the peaceful 90's. The same shop that was used to forge the Misfit's grusome spikes through the years is now in arrears with banks, and a Misfits tour is as good a cause as any to get the progenitors of all things black, back in the black. ... "I was the Michael Jordan of the machine shop" Only says of his days as a screw machine operator in his dads factory, "and I didnt want to leave him hanging." Only is banking that the Misfits name and their highly marketable Crimson Ghost logo will restore financial order. ... When Doyle joined the band, things became increasingly lopsided, causing Danzig to become defensive and forceful, and his subsequent concept for Earth AD ran afoul of what the other members envisioned. ... "I hope it (the MISFITS) works for us because my dad really needs some help. Im hoping we can bust this big and I can go in and hire some people to help him." ... "He (Mr. Caifia) is still a little skeptical about it," Only admits with a laugh. "i want to show him I'm not just pissing into the wind with my mouth open." Like i said, these are just the juicy bits of the article. the whole article ties together nicely. check misfits central or the undead homepage for the full article on saturday. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 22:05:03 (EDT) From: Misfiend@aol.com Subject: comments First off I'd like to say that Matt Richards had a good post in #365. Of course I did not agree with everything he said(noone agrees fully), but it was well articulated and seemed to be well thought out. I am interested to hear the response(Bobby Steele is also well articulated). I also think that J.Simms had a good post on Black Flag(my second favorite band-next to the Misfits). I never knew the origin of the name(not that I really cared, sorry), but it was enlightening. To the 15 year old fiend-like what you want to, who cares if your friends don't(I love my Dad, also). Next I want to address the issue of "what is punk". From my understanding(I was 3 at the time, so I can only go by what I have researched), the whole "Punk Movement" started in England around 1974 when the unemployement rate for adult was enormous. The unemployement rate for kids(I guess 16-20) was even more astronomical. At this time the kids said screw this, and started a semi-revolution...as in punk. If you remember the early punk bands sung(not good mind you) about mostly political themes. Not until it came to the U.S.A. did it stray from the main theme(for the main part). The Ramones where called punk as was Johnny Thunder and even Blondie. As it spread to the west, we got bands like the Germs, Black Flag, etc. Who did not conform to the original idea of "Punk", but were instrumental in forming what punk is today. The Misfits are not "Punk" as originated, but hell, they're not anything else as defined. The Misfits are as close to original as the Germs. Now that we have gone through all that, I want to talk about the Misfits. The Misfits are my favourite band. Though their lyrics are almost as silly as a Bugs Bunny cartoon, the vocals are deep and dark enough to pull it off. The basic construction of their music is not that intricate(power cords and simple "beginner" cords), but it is melodic enough(Ghouls Night Out, Hate Breeders) to make us all love it. I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but I want to know everyones top 5 favourite Misfits songs---and why. My 5 favourite Misfits songs(in order): 1-Ghouls Nite Out-Suffer unto me..need I say more(other than the drums)? 2-Hate Breeders-When I hear it, I feel that it was meant for me. 3-Nike-A-Go-Go-"Nike be everything woman's not", I wish! 4-Death Comes Ripping- I can imagine being ripped apart. 5-We Bite-Have you ever wanted to just fall back into you animal past? I could list every Misfits song in order of my liking(Come Back being my least favourite), but 5 is good enough. I'm not including the American Psycho lp, because I have not listened to it enough to add it's songs. Please let me know your favourite old Misfits songs. After I have determined my favorite off of AP, I'll post those. I'm still looking for buyers of my Misfits/SAMHAIN double album(bootleg) the quality is shitty, but what do you expect from a bootleg live recording. Also my bootleg Cough/Cool b/w She 7". Make an offer. I don't collect, I just want to hear the music. If I dub it, I will sell the original. Make offers-I also have the Sex Pistols 7" on blue vinyl from the last pub. I also have a lot of Black Flag vinyl/tape/cd 7" and 12". DOA vinyl, as well as MDC vinyl. If you want some old stuff, just ask me, I may have it. I did extensive research on punk from 1984-1993. I have compiled many facts and folklore on many bands. I hope to continue this research from 1997 to infinity, if anyone can help contribute, I would appreciate it.

We could all probably hang together at the show (I'm still trying to find out whether or not I'm filming it). Make sure you guys stick around after the show too--the band will sign stuff and hang out (at least they did last year). Personally, I think it's a good thing that Megadeth is NOT opening for them--that way they can make more money AND play the complete set (and hang out with the fans). Also, the Samhain vinyl is still for sale (tan cover black vinyl 1st press of Unholy Passion--1000 made). Mark from Graveyard Records is asking $100, but I'm throwing in a recorded copy of the Misfits' Beware and the Rest and the Passiac, NJ show on X-Mas '81 (audio casseste), a recorded copy of a Misfits show from '82/'83 (the video for the TV show), and a choice of the Agent Orange show from June 24th or the Oppressor/Malevolent Creation show from July 14th (both videotaped by me at Bay Street Bar in Savannah, GA--both include band interviews). Check out the current issue of Vibrations of Doom webzine--lots of cool stuff like CD reviews (including American Psycho, Violent World, and 4 Hits from Mars); sound samples in Real Audio (and you can download the Real Audio Player); interviews with Therion, Infernal Majesty (the only one ever done in the US), and Agent Orange (this one is on the video). One final note (DAMN, this is a long post!)--I just got AP on heavy black vinyl and Static Age on red. Might I say, that heavy vinyl is pretty damn heavy (it's thicker and heavier than any other vinyl I have)! Also, the red vinyl is cool as a mo fo! And I give all my thanks to Jason Rojo Bustin' Mojo (Like a Mo Fo!) This is the guy to buy vinyl from--he'll get you what you want! Anyway, gotta go for now--Later, fiends!

ROBERT STEELE, I PUBLICLY AND WHOLEHEARTEDLY APOLOGIZE for ripping on you and your band. TO MY FRIENDS THE FIENDS WHO I AM UNWORTHY TO CALL FRIENDS,I APOLOGIZE for wasting bible space with my pseudo-intellectual crticism/blathering and downright meanness of opinion in regards to MR. ROBERT STEELE, his band, his hair,his songs,his leg, his creativity and his artistic development. You good people have shown me the light, and this fiend-who-is-not-a-true-fiend is groveling on the floor of the information highway in penance. I'm mean, piss on me! What the hell ever gave me the idea to criticize Bobby and his band? Especially on the Misfits Bible? What the fuck climbed up my asshole? And all that "pretending to have a point" shit I pulled. GEEZ LOOEEZIE! Smack me in the head and call me the boy named Sue! Trying to set myself up as the punk rawk Roger Ebert! HOO BOY! I WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER, CRITICIZE anything related to the Misfits remotely, at all, ever, ever, ever again. I now realize that ANY CRITICISM AT ALL is nothing more than a FLAME IN DISGUISE and an action that is unworthy of any fiend. I will not have a point ever again, certainly not one that is meant to back up my opinions. PLEASE FLAME ME so that I will truly know repentance. MR. BOB STEELE: You were 100% right, on the target, on everything. Again I apologize to you, sir. I yield to your wisdom, your expertise, your age, and your hair. .From now on I will only post things about Michale running amok in a straightjacket and top hat, the estimated physical size of Jerry and Doyle, pro-wrestling, and especially, from time to time I will post every damn item in my record collection, when it was made, who drew the sleeve, which Misfit sweated all over it at that unknown show, the price, my address, two alternate addresses, and every visible color on the record sleeve; FOR THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE TRULY IMPORTANT HERE ON THE BIBLE. I AM SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FIGURE IT OUT. I am such a bastard. I pray that I will be murdered by the hand of an un-named demon and stuffed whole into the mouth of a magpie for my crimes.

And, incidentally, what is up with the action figures? Are they home-made, or what? At any rate, I am a fellow Fiend who is nowhere NEAR being a punk. If one were to attempt to categorize me, I am more of a rock-n-roll Death Hippie or something. I am a semi-recent convert (a bootlegged copy of "Walk Among Us" was given to me 5 years ago) and have recently been really getting into them. However, I must ask all you experts out there - just what is Glenn Danzig's deal? From every interview I've seen or heard, he seems to take all that occult stuff a bit too seriously, and even though he seems pretty intelligent, he comes across as smug and pretentious. Am I getting the wrong impression, or what? I mean, he IS a founding member of the wonderfully un-pretentious MISFITS, but lately it seems that the reason he's so freaking HUGE in the musculature department is that his muscles get a workout from supporting his HUGE HEAD. Never mind that HORRIBLE industrial stuff he's cranking out lately. This opinion will probably earn me lots of hate mail and whatnot, but if anyone can contradict me in a constructive manner, by all means feel free. I have been a Danzig fan for years, and it would be nice to be able to think that Glenn is not as much of a jerk as he comes off as. At any rate, I await your responses, and for crying out loud, let's all keep an open mind, okay?!?!?!

It was great....untill we were told of a 45minute delay due to tech difficulties! Well, to add to that, it began to rain, but it didn't put a damper on the spirit. Most everyone refused to get out of line to seek shelter (myself included). Once the doors finally opened, and I made my way inside, I was treated to the sounds of BLAG XIII. I thought they were pretty cool..hardcore punk, and it was great. This band had the pit moving pretty well. Next up were the CANCEROUS REAGANS, they were good too, except i couldn't hear the singer, due to a shitty P.A. system. It turns out that later in the show, Jerry divulged the fact that he and the boys had blown up the other one at practice, and thus the technical diff! KILLER! last up for the openers was a band called...VIOLENT SOCIETY. this band also moved the crowd very well. They reminded me of Minor Threat in some ways. Then...the lights dimmed...the crowd twitched with anxiety....and ...the opening notes of DR PHIBES!!!! the crowd goes FUCKING NUTS!!!!! I swear to God you couldn't hear Mike at all during the "WHOA's" In American Psycho (which they launched into from Dr. Phibes) It was incredible! From AS, they went directly into WALK AMONG US. Same thing...crowd drowning out poor Mike! One thing thpough, the PA being shitty was one reason you couyldn't hear him. Jerry stepped up to his mic during the first break and proclaimed "You all gotta fucking sing tonite cause of this shitty PA system!" CROWD GOES NUTS AGAIN! No problem Jerry, I think everyone was going to sing along anyway. Well, the set list for the night included... Dr.Phibes, American Psycho, Walk among us, Speak of the devil, Hate the Living.., From hell they came, Don't open till Doomsday, Day of the dead, Ressurrection, Crimson Ghost, a bonus...SCREAM..from the film Scream2, 138, Last Caress (this would be the song that broke the record for the most audience members knowing the lyrics), Return of the fly, Horror Hotel, Halloween ( where an audience member was pulled onstage to sing), Hatebreeders( where Jerry threatened: "Ok when I point at you, you're all gonna yell what?" silence from the crowd..then Jerry says.."HATEBREEDERS you fuckin' jerks! all with a smile on his face. He finished that comment with.."I mean it now..If i don't see ya singing, I comin' right the fuck up there and get ya!") Devils whorehouse, MOMMY!, spinal remains, hybrid moments, some kinda hate, where eagles dare, martian, astrozombies, a killer LONDON DUNGEON, NOTLD, and Skulls, (where Jerry says "we need some good lookin girls up on stage to dance for this one!" he got them too.And at the end of the song, Mike says.."too many girls onstage..." hahahah) Well, after the show, all but Jerry retired to the winnebago, while the bassist remained outside to meet-n-greet. He signed and hugged his way to the end of the line , where I awaited. I had but one thing on my mind. For those of you who have been in touch with me regarding my web site ( http://www.lcworkshop.com/users/redneck ) You know that I have in my posession, pictures of Jerry in high school. Well, the man says OK! I can now put those pix on my page! If you wanna see Jerry in highschool, Keep checking the site.... Well, I guess this post is long enuff. Oh yeah..I got the privelige of taking my friend, a huge fan., to her first MISFITS show, and she got her picture taken with Jerry. If you can, take the time to email her and ask her about the show. I know she'd appreciate it. Her name is Martina and you can mail to her at Mart@lin.lcworkshop.com or Martina@lin.lcworkshop.com .

Now this is just a thoery (that my cousin made up, but I like it too) that "we are 138" means "we are cursed forever", this is how I,er,he figures. The 13 could mean unlucky,ie,friday the 13(which happens to be a horror movie)or cursed and if you take the 8 and turn it on its side you'll have the infinity sign. "We are cursed forever" "WE ARE 138,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8"..

While looking at the back cover I noticed right away that the coloring (red) of the lettering for "Side One" and "Side Two" is a deeper red than on the lettering on the Red vinyl copy.....also the red "shading" in the background is deeper red. On the Red vinyl copy it looks more faded...a bit more pinkinsh.

Well, THE MISFITS came out...and, of course, right into "Dr. Phibes". Only thing interesting was that Chud only added druming to the end to last part of the song. Maybe just a screw up, but it sounded really cool. After that was the usual AP/WAU/H/FHTC, and they even did SOTD later. Interestingly enoughthey did SIX (6) STATIC AGE songs (SA/TV/HM, and ROTF/SKH...wow, loved hearing those!! And lastly 138), and NOTHING (0) off of EARTH AD. WOW!!! I just realized that now. Not one damn EAD track. Oh well. Interesting stuff: - During "Dig Up her Bones", aparently someone "pissed off" Mr. Graves and he felt it necessary to come down to crowd level and "start shit". The end was result was (as usual) no fighting, and Graves not singing half the song. What a damn waste of time. - SIX STATIC AGE SONGS!!!! (just had to mention it again) - no earth ad songs (cant really tell if im dissapointed, or somewhat glad (??)) They ended off with "Dont Open Til Doomsday"/"We Are 1 3 8". It was painfully clear, despite my whole assed attempts, I had failed (one again) in getting the guys to do "Night of the Living Dead". Well, I guess I'll have to wait for next time (give up?? NEVER!!!!). Heres the fun part, what made my damn night. During 138, Michale came down to crowd level to sing, etc. Well, he was pretty much in front of me and he grabbed my hand, and let the guy next to me sing (ugg!!!), but just when I thought it was over...I got to do the "8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8..Ahhhhhh"!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!! Okok, I know I'm pathetic for being this excitied...but, hell...it was damn cool. You could hear me over the PA and stuff. Woo hoo!! PLEASE, GOD, HAVE AN ILLEGAL RECORDING MADE OF THIS SHOW...thank you. After that, luckily I was several feel away (another thank you going out to the G-man) when BIG ONLY took it upon himself to DIVE INTO THE CROWD. Its funny, to, because NO ONE could lift him!! After, he just kinda stood there. So, thats was really it for THE MISFITS...next up, show closers MEGADETH. Me and my friend kinda sat (indian style, at that) in the back. MEGADETH came on. We *tried* to get into it. I SWEAR!!!! We even went up front for some of "Hanger 18". Thats when it hit me (quite literally) that MEGADETH PEOPLE ARE JUST AS ANNOYED THAT A PUNK BAND IS OPENING FOR THEM. How did I come to this startling and SHOCKING revelation??!! About 20 "Metalheads" (once again, quite literally) started to beat the hell out of me and my fiend ass. Me and my f(r)iend were out of there. Heres something interesting about MEGADETH. - In the back of the Concert Arena, EVERY song is noise and whineing. - Downstairs of the Concert Arena, EVERY song sounds like "Dr. Phibes" Something unrelated, I just FARTED and it ACTUALLY SMELLS LIKE THE SHOW. Has that ever happened to anyone else?? So, MEGADETH played and played and played. Then, our other friend John comes running downstairs babbleing, "I gotta find him....I gotta!!!". Who?? A member of the MISFITS??? No. Aparently, he has seem to see a fight, and is looking for the guy who got beat up. He wants to see how bad this guy got beat. Now, this seems irrelevant, right? No. This is only interesting because...this violent act, and mutilated man happen to be MORE INTERESTING THAN MEGADETH to him. So, they kept playing. I EVEN tried to pick up some of the hot, concert, goth chicks. Obviously, un-successful...or I seriously doubt I would be on the damn computer this morning. The last song they played happen to be "Anarchy in the UK". Funny isnt it. The crowd was loudist for this one, and Dave even gave NYC a few compliments right?? (or as he would say, NFY). The crowd was loudist for a song that the band didnt even write...not only that...but a punk song. Yeah. Guess we win, right? gotta go sleep somemore, hope you enjoyed my babbleing, dave ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Aug 1997 09:42:56 -0400 From: exoflalius niemenfleck Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #366 > From: "zerbonia" > Subject: Bible #365 > > When is Danzig's new album coming out?

Hey Fiends, hey Blag - I found this on the Revelation Records home page, and thought it might be of interested to some of you collectors. Any thoughts anyone? ---- I'll give everyone one last example. My good friend Mark Kennedy, for those who don't know, runs Misfits Central, the official Misfits site, and knows just about everything there is to know about the band. Anyway the 1st press of Earth A.D., the Misfits final album (not including this cover band thing that's been playing around for the last year or so), consists of 100 on green vinyl, 200 on clear, 200 on purple and supposedly 200 on yellow vinyl. Any die hard Misfits collector out there may realize for only 200 on yellow vinyl, that yellow guy sure as hell pops up for sale a whole lot more often than all the other colors combined. This bothered me to no end (and my constant badgering probably bother Mark a whole lot more). Anyway if you add up all the colored numbers together you get 700, not too weird a number, but if you look at the number of black vinyl copies you get 10300. 10300? Who says "yeah I want a really screwed up number like that"? Well a very easy explination would be to say well those extra 300 are probably yellow vinyl copies which would explain: 1. 10000 would be a much better number of black vinyl copies for a plant to press, 2. the much greater occurance of yellow vinyl copies seen for sale, and 3. if you add up the color copies now you get 1000, far more plausable all the way around. Well Mark has added such a footnote to the Misfits pressing info but I'm not going to stop bugging him until the official numbers are changed. Well getting back to the point, just remebering how many times you see a record for sale can give you an indicator on how rare it is, and yes your friend is full of it (about the 200 on Chain on green that is). But, take a look at the record as well, the clear vinyl versions have a hint of green to them and the green verion is not solid (as your message states). If in doubt look at the True Till Death pressing page.

I got a purple copy yesterday--only one, it's not for sale--but I think I figured it out. A few weeks ago I said the colors had the vertical plastic slit in the back and the black was horizontal. Here is my updated theory. On the black copies I've seen (3 of them), they all had the horizontal line and when you opened it, the outer flap opened UP. On the purple copy, it was also horizontal but opened DOWN! The yellow copies I've dealt with (4 of them) had a vertical line and opened LEFT. Therefore, I can only conclude that the red opens RIGHT, although I have not personally opened a red. If you can disprove this, or if you agree, let me know.

Would it be so tough to make L and XL shirts? This goes out to everyone (not just the Misfits). Every show I go to, I'm forced not to buy a shirt due to a lack of a size that actually fits me.

I don't want to start a fight or anything, but I think that reforming and touring your ass off for over a year and a half (so far) to save your dad's own business (as in owned by him,not some corporate mongul) is pretty fucking cool.

Why does putting that name make the same music sound any better? Your WRONG. "American Psycho" is a damn fine album, who gives a shit what the guys who put it together call themselves. When Jerry didnt label his band The Misfits, THEY SOUNDED DIFFERENTLY!!! Kryst was a "Metal" band in the vein of Iron Maiden. The Misfits are their own thing. People see "The Misfits" live to see all of the songs preformed live. You find me another band doing a set list containing all classic Misfits material, and I tell ya, I'll go see them. Not only do they do old Misfits stuff, but pretty damn well. Michael is a GREAT singer, and Doyle has never sounded better. PERSONALLY (being that I'm only speaking for myself). "American Psycho" is a GREAT album. Who gives a shit if Jerry is ripping on Glenns shit...why should such politics go into WHAT I LISTEN TO??? Why should I discard a GREAT album because Jerry is dishonest, or a thief, or against the fans, or even trying to rip me off. I would hope the fiends would know enough NOT to get sucked into buying all of the SHIT Jerry SLINGS at us. Ok, sure...I buy a lot of shirts from the band..and why not? They are some of the best made shirts, with the coolest designs, that I have ever seen. FINE. You dont see me with a Jerry Only model, or a Frankenstein mask, or even Limited-to-Unlimited supplys of lame, fake, flyers. Bottom line is I listen to the Misfits because I LIKE them. Bobby...What you dont realize is that 9/10's of "Rock Stars" are TRYING TO RIP YOU OFF. Look at ANY bands fan club. What do you get? Usually $20-30 for a fake-autographed picture, a few bad newsletters, a membership card (so you could show all your friends how you wasted your money!!??), and a few T-Shirt flyers. I like The Misfits...Who gives a fuck what theyre called. btw: since I have your attension...how much would Manny get paid for his two-song contribution to the box?

Second of all,he's not talking about money to buy limos,he's trying to make sure his dad doesn't go bankrupt. I don't think that's the same thing as "I wanna be a rich rock star". Considering it was Jerry's fathers money that paid for most of the Mifits touring and recording,I think Jerry and us as fiends are in debted to his father. I think it's pretty fucking callous to attack Jerry for wanting to make money in the first place. How would you like to go to work at a convenience store and have someone tell you,"You can't make money at this job. Your supposed to do it because you love it." You can make money and still have integrity. Ask Ian Mackaye,Glenn Danzig,or Joey Ramone about it some time. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Aug 1997 20:27:31 From: Subject: Assorted Errata To Adam Zawodny, I'm wondering are you a musician? I play bass and guitar and found your recent comment on how "easy" Misfits songs are to play a bit puzzling. Perhaps they sound easy because of being basic chords and power chords (love those flatted fifths!), but playing them properly is another matter entirely. You'll note that Doyle and most other punk/hardcore guitarists play EXCLUSIVELY with downstrokes and at the tempos some of the Misfits' songs get to that can be pretty demanding to maintain, speaking from experience jamming along with their stuff. Doing so at a midtempo pace can be challenging as far as maintaining consistency of attack etc., also. I'm not dissing you at all, but I thought I ought to point that out. Try playing "Green Hell" sometime with all downstrokes at tempo..you may be in for a rude awakening if you're not properly warmed-up and relaxed--another hugely important element in playing punk/hardcore/thrash&death metal well and properly. No joke there... Also, to Lycanthro-13, a question: if you are so bent out of shape at the content of the bible recently, what would you RATHER we spoke of? This is a fan-run publication for fans, therefore we speak of fannish things, yes? That can include musing on how tall they actually are etc (btw, Julian Baldry--ONLY 6'3"? Wow....then again he was sitting down when I met him....Doyle that is...). Which may seem petty but some things can seem that way I guess. The point is, this is our forum and if we want to discuss things of that nature about our fave band then so be it. Isn't that the point? Sorry for the space Mark, I thought these things should be pointed out.

Back in June I finally had the money to order Saber Inc.'s Jerry Only resin modelkit--Saber, for those who don't know, is the model company run by Jerry and Doyle's brother Ken, who is the head sculptor. Anyway, I recieved a letter (handwritten, yet!) from Ken in mid-July telling me that it would be a few weeks before I recieved my kit because of the fact(again, for those who don't know) he also doubles as the band's manager and since they're on tour at this time orders are on hold. He asked me to please bear with him as he would get my order out to me as soon as he could. I thought that was really cool of him to actually take the time to write a letter personally to explain things to me and let me know things would be OK. Whether this is true or not will remain to be seen, but for now I still think it was a nice thing to do on his part. I actually got to speak on the phone with him briefly a few months ago around May and he was a very nice fellow to boot, so I'm inclined to believe him at this point. I'll keep you all posted on the developments in this case.....thanks for posting this as always Mark.

Are you sure that it's not a synthesizer? (I know Tommy Victor makes it look like that is the guitar sound in the video, but I am almost postive it is a synth. Any instrumental experts out there?) To everyone: (mainly those who are involved in or are hoping for the "Misfits stores" and action figures): I'm sorry, but I just do not see this happening. To my knowledge, no other band has ever opened its own store, much less a "chain" of stores, and the Misfits are hardly going to be pioneers in this area. (Actually I think there are Elvis stores...) And KISS just came out with action figures last year -- of course KISS have about 6 trillion more fans than the Misfits do. If Jerry wants to market his own action figures through the fiend club, that's one thing, but there is just literally no way in hell that we are going to see these things in Toys 'R Us. Nor would I get too hopeful that Todd Mcfarlane will produce these -- this guy has plenty of projects underway to bother with a band that few people have heard of (face it, Misfits, Danzig, etc. have nowhere near the "household-name" status that KISS or Superman do). > From: TWiTCH@prostar.com > contrary to popular belief, noone likes to hear other people bitch and So how do you explain your own little post? To Lycanthro13 (I think): In accuracy, Jerry did NOT fight Glenn in court for the rights to the Misfits name, and subsequently win -- the suit was settled out of court. Big difference. If it had gone to court, I doubt Jerry would have won (yeah I know, I think Glenn is God, Glenn rules, I cannot see Glenn's faults, Glenn is invincible blah blah). The fact is that Glenn wrote all the songs and designed everything; Jerry may have got some royalties for the '80s Caroline releases, but I seriously doubt that he would have won the name if it came down to a courtroom fight for it. But on the other hand, Shawn Michaels does not make excuses for losing matches unfairly, since, unlike the Undertaker, he realizes that foreign objects and outside interference are a part of the game. -Brett ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Aug 1997 15:19:47 +0300 From: Bauh Subject: sucks Don't you Bobby have anything else to do than wonder around and tell everybody that you have been in the Misfits?

So I went to the August 15th show at Great Woods and I must say it was quite good.... I was sort of upset not many people dressed up because i was in "full gear". Anyway, I missed Dr Phibes, American Psycho, and Walk among us because everyone was to busy getting drunk in the parking lot... I got there during the Hunger, however. Anyway, the wasnt many people there (I had seats... section 3 row z) and it was sort of funny seeing me going insane and screaming and shit while other people sort of just moved their head back and forth.... I think the band saw me 'cuz one time when I raised my fist Jerry raised his bass real high... anyway they played a few songs I wouldnt expect themn to play, like "some kinda hate" and "return of the fly", and they closed with "We are 138". Megadeth put on a good show as well, and played my fave song by them, "Wake up Dead". My only bitches abou them is Dave Mustaine talks to much- just play the fucking song! He could of played like 5 more songs than that if he would just shut up.... Anyway, after the show we waited out back for like 45 minutes... there were some other people there too. So then these guys with passes came out from backstage and we asked if the misfits are coming out and he was like "I dont know, I'll go check" and the security guard wouldnt let him back in! What a dick! I must say the security sucks at Great Woods.... anyway, we waited like another 20 minutes and then these two other guys came out who we're hanging with the Misfits (he said they we're touring with Sick of it All this fall) and they we're like saying they we're the coolest guys and if Jerry knew we we're out here, he would be out in a second... so then that guy went back backstage and told jerry or something and he came back out and said the band will come out in like 10-20 minutes... so then like 15 minutes later, this security guard came out and was like "if you dont leave, I'm gonna call the cops" so we all left and right when we left the tour bus went by.... that fucking sucked! I was pissed and as we we're driving off we gave that guy the finger. All in all it was a good show except the incident afterwards...

It's time for your medication!" "Yes, Mommy..." our little Fiend calls. He wipes his sweaty palms on the back of his fading black Wrangler jeans and stands to go. At the open door, he turns back and looks joyously at the little figurine on his bed. The plastic muscles eternally flexed, the scowl a bit endearing, the devilock full and ready to sweat apart. "I wish you were really Jerry Only," the boy says a bit sorrowfully-- then, in a flash, he's gone-- bounding down the stairs. From the first level we can hear his voice as he chatters to his mother in between mouthfuls of medication, and swallowing his pills. "There, there, Timmy," his mother says lovingly as he finishes,"these should keep you from losing your balance for awhile, okay? Remember to tell me if you start seeing things that one way again." "Right, Mom," the little Fiend promises, combing his devilock back down over his face and untying his bib. "Do you like the little Misfit doll we got for you, honey?" she asks. "Oh yes, Ma, it's super! I think I'm probably a real fiend now." "Why is that Timmy, dear?" "Well, because I watch pro-wrestling all the time, and I have a bunch of different copies of the same Misfit albums, and I have t-shirts, posters, the lunchbox, Misfits Underoos and now the complete toy doll collection." "I'm very proud of you and your hobby, Tim," his mother says in a quite serious voice. "So many kids these days are into things that are so bad..." She looks off into the distance with a the trace of a tear in her eye. In a flash her smile is back and she rumples Timmy's hair. He looks up adoringly. "Mommy, can I go out and..." "Yes, Timmy? And what?" "Mommy, can I go out and play tonight?" "Of course, son. Be careful." Timmy rushes up the stairs and grabs his new punk rock dolly. He doesn't look back as he skips out the screen door in happiness to join his friends, all of whom are also Misfits fiends and "collectors". He offers a short prayer of thanks to Doyle that his medicine enables him to safely go outside and play from time to time without serious self-injury. He bounds down the recently tarred street in the fading light of evening and as he goes you can hear his small, twenty year old voice singing happily: "I am 138, uh-uh-uh I am 138, uhuhuhuh I AM uh-uh 138!!!" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Aug 1997 21:20:21 -0500 (EST) From: Stephen Gorny Subject: Re: Bobby Look-alike wig I agree - I don't think this would be a hot seller - but how about a Jill Matthews blow-up doll? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Stephen Gorny + Department of Psychology + The WNBA is here!

So what? He was a founding member of the Fits and if he can make a decent sum by bringing the band back - good for him. I've been to a few of the new Fits shows and I've had a hell of a lot more fun seeing them than a bunch of guys who look like they need a shower singing about how depressed they are. For my money - that's worth the price of admission - to see a good show. When I reviewed a Fits show last year for my mag - I ended it by saying that it was the most fun I'd had at a concert in a long time - that was the truth. And in addition - at least Jerry is touring and putting out new product to make his money - unlike a band like Kiss who is flooding the world with useless merchandise while they haven't released a new album in 5 years. Hell - if you could make money by playing in a band - wouldn't you do it? I know I would. It's not like Jerry is trying to cash in on the Misfits name while doing nothing productive. He put out a decent album and followed that up with a great show and my impression, in talking to him, is that, yes, he wants to play stadiums and make mega-bucks, but he is also willing to work his ass off to do so.

This isn't actually true... in fact, the opposite is. Most retailers have not even been given their advance order (even though they've paid in full) as one of two things are happening: a) The demand has outweighed production (fairly likely) b) A false demand scenario is being created by McFarlane Toys, which, considering Kiss are involved ('God of Marketing, and rock and ro-oo-oll') is highly likely. The fact that Spawn the movie is doing so well also isn't going to hinder advance orders of anything Todd 'Midas' McFarlane puts out in the future.

I see that some of you are asking where is Tammy and why is her post not a the end of the bible. Well even i need some time off from the bible. Though in any case, i am back. First off, i still have two more copies of Static Age on black vinyl for $11 with shipping included. If you want one just e-mail me. Next, Still need those pre orders in for the Lithograph. as i had posted before we need 84 pre orders before Chris knows he can spend his own money on having the Lithograph produced. If you have not seen it yet there is a small picture of it on Misfits Central in the news section under my name. As for the info on the Litho just e-mail me and i'll give you all that you need to know about it. There is one thing bothering me. Lately several fiends that have been here a long time posting and being part of the Bible have now unsubscribed for the obvious reasons. I can only say that this has gone to far. The major part of the problem has been dealt with, yet several fiends still seem to have the need to flame others for no apparent reason. What is the point? Someone only an issue ago or so just flamed me for something they had nothing to even do with. All we have accomplished in the past year is rehash the same old shit and piss off several fiends to the point they don't even want to bother with the bible anymore. I know that some of you will say who cares or who needed them. But the bible is based on only so many fiends that contribute informantion that is useful, and now we have lost two more of those fiends. It was bad enough when EVB left, but now we lost even more. I just don't get what some of you want from the bible. The purpose seems to be a mute point now. Though if you think that I'm going to leave or give up on the bible you got another thing coming. I can say I am a FIEND, a true one, good one, bad one or anything else. No Just a plain and simple FIEND. Just like anyone else on the bible.

This is in reference to Jerry's comments - over the past 18 months - that money had nothing at all to do with the 'reunion'. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make money, but you may not be aware that he's trying to bail out the business with other people's money - namely mine, Joey Image's, and , apparently Manny's. To Cisco: It IS costing taxpayer's money.

Although I believe the better songs are the result of Michale and Chud. Jerry still seems to be trying to add that KRYST sound to some of the songs. And the fact still remains that no one took interest in Jerry until he started using THE NAME again. something that was pointed out to me recently . . . THE UNDEAD already had a name for itself long before THE MISFITS name had any real value. THE UNDEAD was already going strong from 1981 - 1986. I believe it was '85 or '86 when GARAGE DAYS came out and really got the fits name going. > You find me another band doing a set list containing all >classic >Misfits material, and I tell ya, I'll go see them.

Has anyone noticed the extreme abundance of low-quality Misfits pages on the Internet? Has anyone noticed the over-abundance of Misfits Central ripoffs? Not to point fingers, but some of you blatantly steal the lyrics, discographies, pictures, or news pages from Misfits Central with little or no creativity. In particular, these "fiends" are guilty: Horrorkid (http://www.zianet.com/horrorkid/) Vader (http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/3647/themisfits.htm) American Nightmare (http://fly.hiwaay.net/~drdunlap/misfits/) Erik (http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/8847/misfits.html) Ben & Aaron (http://www.trader.com/users/5010/4516/dantoc.htm) Horrorkid and Ben & Aaron are ESPECIALLY guilty of this. Do you guys have no conscience? You just rip Misfits Central's stuff off, word for word, letter for letter, keystroke for keystroke and don't even credit it to the guy who did all the work for you. I'm surprised Mark lets some of you stay on the mailing list. Hey people, grow a brain. Do something creative or just take your pages down. Ever hear of plagiarism? Did you ever notice the copyright information on the Misfits Central discography? Everyone feel free to email these guys and tell them what you think. Look at their pages and see how they shamelessly rip off Misfits Central. The Horrorkid in particular is EXTREMELY guilty. His pages seem to even rip off the HTML code from Misfits Central. On top of that, he even attempts to sell tapes and videos of recordings that are also distributed (often for lower prices) by the people on the collector page of Misfits Central. Does anybody know what's up with this guy? I'm sorry Ryq had to unsubscribe - he was a good guy. Julian Baldry - keep those intelligent and well-written posts coming. Redneck Russ - why don't you look more closely at Misfits Central before you ask some of your questions? Tammy - stop pretending you're so important - you're just a collector, albeit an intelligent one. Brett Fama - keep up the hilarious posts, but please, shorten them a bit. Everyone else (and Tammy too), please learn English.

I've played it all, hardcore, punk, covers, classic rock, you name it. The songs are demanding really only from a stamina part, as playing that fast for that long does tire out your arms and wrists. The song structure and chord changes are pretty straightforward and can be easily mastered by beggining guitarists as are most punk songs.

True fiends would show a little respect to one >of the men who played in a band they claim to like. Agreed, there is no need to be disrespectful to ANYONE on here... after all, we're all here for the same basic reason (and if you're not, it's only your own time your wasting). However, there is no rule that says you have to like any ex- or existing member of a band that you happen to like. Hands up any Kiss fans that actually 'like' Vinnie Vincent? Also, you have to accept that as Bobby does post regularly and sometimes fairly confrontationally (as I would expect anyone with his obvious level of intelligence to do - and that's NOT meant to be sarcastic) it is likely that he'll come under the same barrage of flames that a mere mortal would. If Glenn, Jerry, Michale or anyone else submitted posts as regularly then I'm sure they'd be pulled up on stuff and rightly so... being an ex-Misfit does not make you untouchable. There's no excuse for being outright rude to people but expressing your polar point of view in an intelligent manner is always acceptable, as I'm sure Bobby would agree. As far as Jerry making money to pay off his father's debts go, it would seem to me that as HALF the band are only on this Earth because of that guy then it's hardly an illegitimate use of Misfits revenue. In the early days the Misfits only existed thanks to Ciaifa Senior's credit card so if J & D want to pay him back for that then fair play to them. Anyway, considering what most bands spend the money we give them on, there's not really a lot of room to criticise. Take care, Julian ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Aug 1997 10:30:36 -0400 (EDT) From: Dennis Pierce Subject: Misfits guitar parts >You'll note that Doyle and most other >punk/hardcore guitarists play EXCLUSIVELY with downstrokes I believe that Doyle uses all downstrokes live, but I don't think Walk Among Us or Earth A.D. are all downstrokes. To me, it sounds like Doyle is alternate strumming on those two albums. The guitar is not locked in with the drums. A lot of the time he is not even playing eigth notes. Songs like Devilock and Vampira have a fast tempo, but the guitar is mostly sustained chords. Robo and Googy are the ones setting the speed of those songs, not Doyle. I think Franche Coma used downstrokes, or at least had a sharper attack. The guitar in Bullet and 138 is clearer and tighter. Each guitar strum matches with a hi-hat hit. Greg Ginn and the Circle Jerks guitarist (can't remember his name) also have a very sharp attack. All of those guitarists sound very different than Doyle's old stuff.

Dave Naked, they played Mommy..., and thats on EAD, so they did play an EAD song :) Me, my friend, and his girlfriend got a chance to see the Dig Up Her Bones video. We got to the "Hammer" at about 3:30 after going to Pizza Hut, we didnt finish our pizza, so as a joke I said "Lets bring the rest to Jerry and DOyle" so we walked from the Hut to the Hammer, and we asked these kids on line if they had seen jerry or doyle. They said no but their tourbus was around back. SO we went to the bus, my friend knocked on the door..and who answers? Jerry Only. He asked "ARe you guys my next interview?" and we just said "Uh...yeah" so he said "Ok cool come on in" We sat on the couch, and I offered him the pizza but he said no thanx so i gave it to 2 kids who were on the bus to interview him. Well he said "Hey i just got the new video, you guys wanna see it?" so of course we did, and he played it for us. I loved it. The whole thing has this wicked green lighting. During the verse, its just Graves crouching by a tombstone marked "Graves" and throughout the video there are live shots from this tour. I swear it is so damn cool. After the video, Jerry said he had to go to a photo shoot, so that explained why he had his stage clothes on at 4 i guess. We walked to the front to get on line and he came out the front and said to the kids on line "Hey, those guys brought me pizza!" We got a kick out of that. At like 6, after the fits finished their sound check, (which we could hear from the line, so i guess we heard 2 fits shows in one night :))CHUD came out and started talking to us. He said he made his own drumsticks. SPeakin of that, my friend caught one drumstick after they finshed playing. We met up with CHUD and Jerry after the show again,CHUD signed the stick and Jerry hugged me...I dunno why, that was a bit odd (haha) But cool nonetheless. I've probably bored you all already, so i'll shadup.

He said he will be selling them, but for about $5000 each. He said he will probably only make about 13 a year. He's charging so much because he only wants "serious" people using them. And he makes guitars for Adrian Vandeberg from Whitesnake! I didn't know that, thats wacky. Also they are touring with Sick Of It All next tour.

I guess that one's been a while back... Anyway, on the Return of the Fly bootleg, where's that picture of the band from, and is there a copyright on it? Whoever it was asking about the red vinyl opening, it's horizontal up I believe. Hey, just think of ways to avoid the stupid conflicts on here--Just don't reply and don't give 'em fuel to keep on. It's not that hard to ignore the idiots on here. As far as the fits and Megadeth, who cares? Blame them personally--They could have gone to a different label had they wanted a different band to tour with. So, maybe they like them. Lastly, about AP. My friend heard some of it and said it sounds like and Epitaph band. Now, wouldn't that have been a more symbolic label for them to sign onto? Heh heh.

Hook up any standard keyboard to a guitar amp w/ reverb, and you have NIN/Marylin Manson. My bud is into a bit of industrial, and we did this a while ago. He made up a bunch of real cool tunes using only my $35 practice amp and my sisters $200 plastic keyboard from Best Buy. Since sythesizers can all make the same sounds (just like any other musical instrument), I wouldn't be surprised if a Danzig song sounded like "closer", especially if he's trying to jump on the NIN bandwagon (yet a little too late, considering eMTyV has finished yet another cycle and is now hyping POP again). You might notice that KMFDM uses the same samples and sythesizer sounds through numerous songs. Perhaps because they lack they can't buy a new setup for every song.

From what >I hear, the Misfits are really working it..so, maybe you should think >about that for a moment. Sure, that is a nice reason. But, you have to go back to the beginning of the reformation. When Jerry and Co. were in Cleveland last year (Aug. 1996) he told the crowd before the show that they got together because they loved the Misfits, and after years of doing other stuff, they had to go back to who they are. He told the fans there, that they were touring for the fans, and to bring the music back. Aaron was also at that show, as I'm sure he will confirm as well, and from everything Jerry's said in the national press, they aren't "doing it for the money". Perhaps he thought those quotes in a free local paper wouldn't reach beyond the readership of a few thousand people, many of whom couldn't care less about the Misfits and wouldn't read the article anyway. Like I said, it may be a noble idea, but read the entire quote, he sounds more money hungry than noble. Just my thoughts on the matter. Stay Sick!

BEN ------------------------------ From: LCBL95A@prodigy.com (MR BENJAMIN W BARNARD) Date: Mon, 18 Aug 1997 20:55:38, -0500 Subject: SACRIFICE: man or machine? Ok...here is my take. Let me start by saying that I am no music expert. I have seen the video, I have seen the Blackacidevil show (9/14/96) and have a bootleg video from 9/5/96 in Philly PA. I don't remember the show I saw, it and the 9/5 show were BEFORE blackacidevil was released. I don't know the date Danzig 5 was released, but it must have been recorded before these shows. In the bootleg video the song starts with a synthesized part that fits exactly with the cd release. Tommy is standing there pointing at Glenn, walking 'round etc. When it gets to "I Wanna Bring It!" Victor begins his live playing, here is where it gets interesting....when it returns to the original beat (opening "riff") Tommy plays high a flurry of fast and high notes kind of reminiscent of the "synth" but obviously different. this continues throughout the song, no more do we hear the familiar opening beat (you know when Glenn is crawlin' through the tunnel in the vid). I believe that Victor "plays" in the vid 'cause he didn't wanna stand there.... BEN ------------------------------ From: "Redneck" Subject: Jerry Only's Bass etc...

The band is playing the songs we all love, and they aren't trying to hide anything..New singer and all. It is a great band, and that is the point. Was there this much controversey when Kiss reunited? Hell no, because those fans got a chance to see the band again! their kids got to see them! WHOOPIE!!!!! Let it rest people....let it rest. As for the comment about money making...so what? What the hell do you think all of that "Franklin Mint" shit is? those people make stuff for the sole reason of collecting stuff.

I agree with Aaron Pacitti and El Cisco Ked and the others in that I think it's a noble thing for Jerry to have one of the reasons the Misfits are back on the road again be to help his father's shop. What's so bad about helping out the people who brought you into this world in the first place and made your life possible I say? If Jerry wants to help his father out I think that says a lot about him as a man and a person in general--placing family in such a high priority spot is one of the greatest things one can do, I think. It could be worse, he could be using our hard-earned cash to line his own pockets at everybody else's expense correct? Oh, but that's right--the "punk police" (thank you whoever coined that term) dictate that one must hate one's parents and curse their very existence! So screw them, right? Also, money is sooooooo evil to them...as I've said in the column I write for a local punk zine, Suburban Voice, anyone who screams "Smash the state, smash the system," and yet pays rent on an apartment etc., IS THE SYSTEM. They seem to have no respect for anyone who doesn't live in a cardborad box and eat their own shit all for the glory of punk rock. Here's the reality: Jerry Only is a better man than many out there for wanting to help out his father by doing what he knows and loves best, playing his music. Assuming that's the case. And please, everybody lay off Bobby Steele...I've sent a couple of emails his way in the last couple of days and he's answered them in prompt, direct, intelligent, and witty fashion. And he was there and saw what he saw, so does he not have a right to voice his opinions on Jerry, the Misfits, etc.??? GIve hima a chance folks, even though he's very capable of defendinghimself, OK?

Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 01:33:00 -0400 Well, after nearly a year of posessing these pictures, I finally got the go-ahead from Jerry to post the pictures. I had a few fleeting moments at the show in York, PA on 8/13/97 to discuss the photos with him. Jerry took one look at them and said "Hey I know those guys.." What a card!!! He looked at each picture to verify that they were all of him and said "Jesus, where'd you get these from?" After I told him he laughed and said "well put any damn thing up that you want" to that I said ' what about doyle?' Jerry said "sure...hey look for the one in eighth grade, he got kicked out of class for having pink hair!" Well, I guess this is the "OFFICIAL UNVEILING " of the Jerry High School Pictures.

Graves is very much alive onstage and gets the crowd going wild, he is the perfect frontman for this band, and his voice rules. Anyone who says otherwise sucks dick. Anyway ive been to all the shows they have had in Mass and before that it was all a dream. the closest i could get was the Detroit 1983 Video. They brought our dreams to life with this Resurection. I like the shows they did at the middle east club in Cambridge because the sets were longer and everyone feels like we are one big happy family, Now the misfits generate positve energy rather than negative as in the past. Everyone seems to get along great and there are little or no fights. Also at the Middle East the fans get to meet thier idols, at great woods the security are a bunch of cunts. They should play the orphium theater (nice and gothic). These guys deserve a lot more credit for bringing our dreams to life, anyone who says otherwise sucks dick. I hope they do another album and get on MTV and get the credit they are entitled to. Im so sick of these shit fuck bands like Machinehead and V.O.D. etc. that have no talent and blew whoever they could to get there. I think the misfits would be a great inspiration for the youth of america. I really love the feeling i get when im at a misfits show, Im sure most of you know how it feels. I got to say i really love thier new image. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Aug 1997 13:15:28 -0700 From: the Horrorkid Subject: 138-flames-bobby-figures and other shit.
