Heh Heh Heh
Now that I have your attention . . . I haven't seen the video, myself,
but I am curious about it. IT sounds like it might actually be
interesting. Styrofoam gravestones - why not ?

A kinder, gentler bible ? This is ridiculous. Jerry says he won't come on
here unless you start to act nice. I wasn't afraid to take the heat from
you when I first came on here 18 months ago - and if you were around back
then, you know, I got a lot - and I faced it like a man. I challenged you
to confront me with the rumours - and responded. What's Jerry hiding from
? Is he afraid to have to tell you why he's holding out on the money owed
to me and Joey Image, or is he afraid of being asked which of the several
different versions of his stories about me and Glenn is true ?

The truth doesn't fear light. That's why I came on here. Now Jerry
expects everyone to just say "we love you Jerry". "What's your favorite
color?"
The reason Glenn stopped talking about THE MISFITS was because
interviewers started calling him out on his contradictions.

I feel the bible was set up so you sould learn more about THE MISFITS,
whether it be good or bad.

Glenn created THE MISFITS. He got all the songwriting credit because,
believe it or not, he WROTE it all. He didn't WANT all the power. He had
the talent and the vision - and most of us respected that fact. Jerry
wanted CONTROL. He manipulated Glenn by fucking with his insecurity. Did
you read the latest FLIPSIDE interview. Jerry alludes to this fact in
there.

For a little more insight, you should all read SECONDS #44. It has
back-to-back interviews with both Glenn and Jerry . . . and Glenn talks
about THE MISFITS (I wonder what they slipped in his drink to get him to
do that). Glenn say he never wanted me. In other interviews Jerry says HE
didn't want me. It sounds like COLLECTION 2.

In this same issue, Jerry talks about the LONDON DUNGEON incident. I
don't know if anyone's seen this yet. To summarize, he says that  a buhch
of skinheads started a fight with Glenn, and I RAN AWAY ! What's wrong
with this sentence ? Can you picture Bobby Steele . . . who's too
crippled to kick his way out of a coffin (in Jerry's words) actually
outrunning a bunch of skinheads ? Now he'll have to cover his tracks by
saying, "oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the skinheads were all hobbled
and in wheelchairs - that's why Bobby was able to outrun them".

Keep talking Jerry. Soon enough you won't even have the credibility of a
priest in a strip club.

On a more positive note; the east coast tour has run into a few minor
snags, but they should be worked out by next week - and I'll have Mark
post the info. The CBGB's show is confirmed for November 14th w/THE
INDEPENDENTS and C.J. RAMONE's band LOS GUSANOS. There'll be people from
Columbia and Epic Records there - so I'm hoping for a full house so I can
show them that we've still got it.   

To all Australian Fiends, a petition is being passed around in several
cities - to get THE UNDEAD to play down there. It'll be presented to
SHOCK RECORDS in order to convince them that we have a strong enough
following to warrant their support for such a tour. If you need info on
where to sign one of these petitions . . . email me and I'll get it to
you.

LOOK, i really dont even bother with any of this American Psycho or
whatever. I heard it, I hate it, and this is NOT the MISFITS. I am
terridly sorry, but everyone needs to MOVE ON!! The MISFITS can never be
rekindled or replaced so I don't see why anyone bothers trying. I think
what irks me the most is that NO ONE should be allowed to sing any REAL
Misfits songs except GLENN FUCKIN' DANZIG. ok? My deepest apologies if I
have offended anyone but this actually bothers the hell out of me.
Nothing classic can be replaced, so give it up.

I wasn't going to bring this up, but since someone kind of already touched
on it, I will.  I struct me kind of funny that in all the grave yard seens
Micheal neither had his hair in a devilock, nor did he have his face
painted.  The way they had his hair combed straight down, the way they
always shot his face from pretty much the same angle, and the fact that the
rest of the time most of ther rest of him was behind the grave, made it
look to me like they were trying to pawn Graves off as Danzig.  Maybe it's
just me, but this is what I saw (I'm not saying I think that Graves looks
like Danzig, I'm just saying I think they wanted you to think that he looks
like Danzig.  Sort of he's the same, but different type philosophy.)

Also, I'm not a big fan of the 138 sightings, but I haven't seen this one
posted anywhere yet, and I think it's particularly good, so here it is:
Go to your local toy store, and where they keep ther sporting goods look
for the Vortex or Vortex Screamer football.  It says right on the package
"For ages 5 to 137)  I guess what they're trying to say is, when your 138
years old, YOUR TOO DAMN OLD TO BE PLAYING FOOTBALL.  The question that
strikes my mind is how many 138 year olds want to play football(or, how
many 138 year olds are there?)

Very true... but according to your theory of what makes one band better
than another (ie revenue generation) you must be an awfully big Garth
Brooks fan.

Still, I'm sure if Jerry & Doyle had the surname Gallagher and decided to
form a (poor) Beatles tribute band instead of being part of something
INNOVATIVE, they might have faired better in the $$$ stakes. 

>I was reading an interview with Dani of Cradle of Filth and they were
>talking about Black Metal and he said "Essentially we are Black Metal but
>I consider bands like Mercyful Fate and even bands like Misfits as being
>Black Metal because they all pertain to atmospheres."

Anyone who mentions M**cyful F*te in the same context as the Misfits
could only be the kind of person that'd wind up putting 'Jesus Is A C*nt'
on their band's T-shirts. As there appear to be some, I have a question
for the COF fans... if they're sooooo scary and evil, why does their
singer have a girl's name?

Re: the issue of the continuation of the Misfits 'horror' image. I personally
think the Misfits are the only band other than KISS that carry off a full
scale 'image' without looking too stupid. Much as I love the Misfits, take
away the image and I think you'd turn an awful lot of people off. In fact,
take any band that's ever had an identifiable image, each time they've
gone 'straight', they've lost their audience... KISS, Twisted Sister,
Crimson Glory (haha).

>From my experience of the new line up, when I first saw them at the
London Astoria a year or so ago Michale Graves didn't have his image
figured out properly and Jerry & Doyle looked like they had in the late
80's. When I saw them back at the start of this year they all looked great
and it really added to the show. 

If they were using flashpots and confetti cannons then maybe I'd think
otherwise but the image as it stands is fairly unique and works well.
Plus, it allows Jerry FAR more scope for merchandising :)

BTW, anyone else noticed that Mr Only seems to be losing some of his
more, er, surplus bulk lately?

One last thing... I know a few people on here are helping with this at the
moment but 20 Eyes are better than two.

If ANYONE sees a copy of an album by 'Dear Mr President' (self titled) I
will pay top $ plus postage plus a 'finder's fee' for a copy. I would prefer
CD or Vinyl but cassette (or even a dubbed copy) would be OK. The
album was released on Warner Bros. during the late 80's and so there
must be some copies still around. If anyone can help I'd be very
grateful... y'never know, maybe some of you have it lurking in your
collections and have been thinking 'Why in the hell did I buy THIS piece of
shit?' for the past 10 years.

Take care,
Julian

I feel i should clear up my post from the last bible.  I was wrong in
saying that Danzig is a control freak.  I am not wrong in saying that
Danzig needs to listen to his band members ideas a bit more.  I  STILL
respect Danzig and all his work.  I have nothing bad to say about graves
because Ive only heard one album... and I love it.  Anyway, we should all
co-exist together on here.  They were and are misfits, and isnt that one of

Subject: Tempe, AZ show

A few things...
 I was just wondering if there are any fiends from Tucson who are going up
for the October 29th show at the Electric Ballroom in Tempe who would be
willing to give me a ride! I can pitch in on some gas $$$. Hopefully someone
who doesn't drink and drive, and is planning on coming back after the show.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP if anyone can give me a ride! I desperately want to
go, but I can't afford to buy a bus ticket there and back.
Thanks to the people who mailed me in response to my post about the video.
It's good to know that some people are part of the bible who actually are
supportive fans of the Misfits!
In the last bible, someone had a post that said something like "I saw a real
band called Oasis who make more in one show than the Fits do on a whole
tour." What's up with that? I think Oasis are a pretty damn cool band, but
the Misfits aren't any less of a "real band" just because they don't make as
much money. If that were the case, then I guess Puff Daddy and Beck are more
of a band than the Misfits, Samhain and Danzig all put together, right?!
Wrong! I'm not trying to start shit, but that was a pretty pointless post.
And anyway, do you think 20 years down the road people are gonna conider
Oasis one of the most influential bands in Rock history? I doubt it.
About the Horror Hotel/London Dungeon thing... they're both kick ass sites.
That's all that matters. They both provide us fiends with a cool place to
visit on the web. I've talked with the Horror Kid a few times via email, and
he seems like a real swell fella. I hope there is no more shit between the
two webmasters. 
Hmmm, the Misfits without the make-up and everything. No sir, I don't like
it! True, the real backbone of the band is the great music, but it all goes
together. It's a lot more fun to see bands like the Misfits, Kiss, Gwar, and
the few bands who still enjoy putting on a show for their fans than seeing
some depression rock weenee staring at the ground and barely even
aknowledging the audience's existence. 
Does anyone have anything they wanna contribute to my small Misfits page I'm
starting. I'm not gonna fill it up with graphics and stuff, just mostly my
reviews and maybe some stuff from some of you. E-mail me and let me know!
Finally, I just want to say that I hope everyone realizes what a great thing
Mark has going here. A lot of people probably take it for granted, but it's
great to be able to interact with other fiends in a usually positive
environment. So cheers to Misfits Central and the Bible!!!!!
Again, PLEASE! SOMEONE! GIMME A RIDE TO TEMPE!!!!!

Later all!

Jerry has stated they they (Jerry and Doyle) plan to begin selling

Yep, it's on the "Bullet" 7", the BEWARE version, and the various
compilations and bootlegs from over the years... it is kind of weird
to hear it without the 1-2-3-4, and it used to throw me off too.  It 
seems that then they mixed the STATIC AGE album, they didn't want any
of the cool introductory stuff.  My favorite is "Theme for a Jackal, 
really..." which for whatever reason WAS on the original mix-down tape
from '78, and got edited off in '95.

have been reissued by Caroline without the Plan 9 logos) have been out

Actually, Glenn talks a LOT about The Misfits in the latest interview
in Seconds.  However, he doesn't talk about the current lineup.  I know
that about a year ago he said some not-so-friendly things about them.

Around that time, Googy had dyed white hair, sort of like Billy Idol.
Apparently his hair blended in with the background of the photo and
when they (the people at Slash Records) were cutting out the band photo,
they couldn't tell where his head was.  They only had older pictures
of Googy from back when he had a shaved head, so they cut his head that
way.

Well, you should recognize 4 of those songs from disc 3 of the Box Set.
The other 3 were taken from the tape for the lost Fair Lawn recording

I'm not sure how the timing of everything worked out, but it always did
seem to me that Metallica has been on "Glenn's side" of the Fits rivalry,
especially since they toured together & even recorded together on the
first Danzig album. Obviously Jerry must've had no idea at the time, but
it makes perfect sense to me that Metallica would treat him like dirt.
Okay i grew up on Metallica but i've never fooled myself into thinking
they were anything other that white trash metal dicks-- and now they are

Subject: Why the Misfits Are the greatest Band Alive.

O.K.  I subscribe to a newsletter that I beleive will fill my life with more
Misfits info than a person could possibly need.  I read the first issue I 
recieve, and everyone is bitching about how sucky Graves is and how he doesn't
compare to Glenn.  Whell, by Goddess, Graves is better than Glenn and I'm not
afraid to admit it.  I personally own every song the 'Fits put out, I losten to
American than any other of there albums.  I really love the earlier stuff, but
the new album really has the feel of a band who are in synch, and are working
together for the love of the music.  And to me, that is the most important thing
that music needs today.  And the DUHB video was amazing.

Everyone is having a problem with others critizing the new Misfits, what the
hell is this? You should have more respect for the co-founder and the man
who wrote all those songs the NEW Misfits are playing at their concerts(I do
like American Psycho, Graves has a great voice.) 

Also, I always thought that Glenn quit and I still do but in an interview
with Jerry that I have on video he says they kicked Glenn out of the band.

I don't gloat, 
   And, I'm not in the mood to start a fued with someone who probably
lives 2,000 miles away from me. I just wanted to say thank you to
Gigantor, and Horrorkid for somewhat backing me up on my "Danzig doesn't
suck, I just choose to listen to other music" from the bible #388. Mr.
Devilman138, I hold no grudges against you. That's grade school stuff,
and I've been out of school for almost 10 years now. If you like Danzig
so much, do something positive with that admirement, and start a Danzig
Bible. Then, you could set the standards for that particular subject(s).
This is the Misfits bible, and we (the fiends) joined to talk about the
misfits (old and new). LIke I stated before, I've seen Glenn with
samhain, and Danzig. now, I'm going to see the Misfits. That's
all..Nothing more, nothing less. If I'd have know my post was going to
get people angry, (or person, since you were the only one that griped
about my post) I would have just kept my mouth shut..If you can't say
anything nice, it's really best to not say anything at all. And, saying I
didn't like Blackacidevil wasn't an act of war. it was an opinion. That
is all  And that's all I have to say about that.

Subject: re: NO MAKEUP?!

--CHRIS WROTE:

In response to JP DuPuis' post in the last bible, I must say, are you
MAD, man? The Misfits' image is one of the most distinctive out there,
and to me at least is an essential part of their whole ethos along with
the horror imagery in their lyrics. If you take away the makeup
something intangibly cool would vanish...a LOT of their character would
go away. They still write great tunes, but to me it wouldn't be the same

to see Jerry Only standing onstage in jeans and a tshirt with a Fender
bass--the extra something would be gone. I prefer the makeup and
costumes because they add something that so many trendy bands lack as
well as talent;ORIGINALITY. Nobody out there looks like them and I'd
rather see them stick to their guns and look as ghoulish as ever as
opposed to potentially falling into the morass of identical bands
wearing jeans&tshirts--besides, Jerry would look pretty funny in mundane

garb onstage, frankly! (Nothing personal, Jerry!) I'd rather see the
leather, spikes, makeup, DEVILOCKS, and custom guitars and basses
stay...

        I don't have cable (a GOOD thing!), so I missed out on the DUHB
video...MTV will probably never show it again because the Misfits are
not one of their trendy darling bands like No Doubt. I'm glad some of
you out there taped it, I'll have to get a copy from one of you it
seems. Thanks for printing this, Mark!

That's a good point, but if you think about it, would say... KISS have
lasted as long as they have if they stuck with the makeup? The custom
instruments are great, they shouldn't change a thing.

I've never seen the Misfits live, I discovered them through the music
they play and I've never seen the DUHB video (I get 4 snowy channels on
my TV). I'm sure there are ways of looking ghoulish. Let's face it, the
Misfits are a band reborn and maybe they need a facelift. I don't think
Jerry would look that great in jeans and T-Shirts, but what's wrong with
say leather pants and a tatoo covered body.

That's my two cents, I don't think they should go GreenDay, but there
are other ways of looking scary than dressing up like Dracula on stage.

Subject: TRIVIA

Greetings Fiends,
     It's been MONTHS since I last posted but I couldn't hold back any
longer. Still gossiping and bickering, I see. Someday I will continue my
Movies For Fiends lists but for now I am just too busy..couldn't resist the
trivia challenge, however!

Who is Maila Nurmi?
The gorgeous and beautiful...the one and only..dark and lovely..my mentor and
Goddess....VAMPIRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2) Name the one movie that Vincent Price and Elvis Presley were in together
and what year did it come out?
This is too scary for me to touch..It wasn't BEACH PARTY or CLAM BAKE...fuck
it...I am not getting into this. Too scary!

3) Who played Dracula in the very first Dracula movie?
Max Shreck in NOSFERATU (1922)

(Bonus 3 points What was Dracula named in the movie and what was the name
of the movie? Just to make this a real challenge, 5 more Bonus points if
you can tell why they named Dracula another name other than Count Dracula?)
He was called Count Orlock because German filmmaker F.W. Murnau changed the
names and incidents of the Bram Stoker's story trying to make the public
believe it was his own original. He was sued by Stoker's widow who recognized
the similarities.

4) What actor played a character in both versions of Tower of London and
name the two characters he played? (Bonus 4 points what numbers were the
two movies in  the actors career, example was it his 28 and 85 movies made.
also what movie companies made each version of the movie?
 Vincent Price drowns in wine in the 1939 version (no character name, just
cousin something..I lose a point) and plays Richard III in the 1962 version.

5) Brains at every single meal, you know the song, well what was the movie,
what year did it come out and describe the creature?
(Bonus 3 points What novel was the movie based on and who wrote it?)
FIEND WITHOUT A FACE (1958) It looks a like a brain with a spinal cord
attached and it will be my next tattoo...(right next to my J-Sin/Jerry hybrid
tat)  no bonus points for me on this one.

Well, I did ok. Don't forget to check out my homepage at
http://members.aol.com/GhoulFiend/index.html and sign my guestbook!

BTW..I love BOTH Horrorkid's and Redneck's pages and you can find me
contributing to both. Fiends shoulldn't fight..they should unite in bloody
splendor.

Subject: Why Can't We just Grow Up?
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 18:13:54 PDT

	 Underworld Scum's post in #390 made perfect sense to me. I think one 
of the reasons the Misfits don't post on the Net or on the bible is just 
because very few who post here seem capable of expressing their opinions 
in a mature, adult fashion. Yeah, yeah, I know, you gotta be "punk" and 
give us the UNDILUTED VISCERAL VERSION of your thoughts on the Misfits, 
steaming hot from the bowels of your fevered brains, right? Right...and 
make fools of yourselves in the process while you're at it. Nothing 
personal against the likes of Arlo, whom I think expresses himself in a 
very direct and uncluttered fashion, mind you. But really, do you lot 
think that cursing and flaming the band we all supposedly love so much 
is going to make them come back and talk to us online? No it won't. They 
have better things to do, as someone else said elsewhere in the bible, 
and all the whining in the world will not change things unless certain 
of us here grow up and try to learn how to express ourselves properly.

	Case in point: To respond to Ronnie Biggs' post, sorry mate, but Oasis 
are a very unoriginal band who rip off numerous ideas from the more 
psychedelic Beatles and Stones albums...in my honest opinion they are 
painfully average and not worthy of being called a "real" band. On top 
of that I find them boring and Liam Gallagher's three-note vocal range 
grates on my nerves. See what I mean? That is what I would consider a 
more intelligent and original way of disagreeing with someone instead of 
saying "FUCK YOU OASIS SUXX YOU STUPID FAGGOT" or something charming to 
that effect. BTW, that IS how I feel about them, Ronnie, sorry...

	And my good gracious!!! A COHERENT post from Blag?? Miracles happen 
every day, I guess.....Thanks Mark, sorry this was so long! But c'mon 
folks, can't we just try to grow up here??

Subject: One more time...

Hello again.  Nick here.  It seems many still dwell on the Glenn vs. Jerry
debate, and I have a new take (if not new, so what).  Maybe one of the reason
they don't talk is because they used to be friends.  In one of the interviews
on Mark's page, Glenn says something to the extent of "the Misfits being him
and Jerry" and so on.  Maybe, if he and Jerry were still friends, they would
have done something admirable.  Think about it, having a good friend, whom
you connect with on many levels, and then a few years later, you both wander
away from each other to the point where your differences get in the way of
the friendship.  I would be mad too.  But alas, I nor anyone else here in the
Bible is in or was in the Misfits (Bobby excluded from this statement) so we
can't say what they should and shouldn't be doing.  And speaking of Glenn, I
just found a tape which I thought I'd lost and it has a Misfits related story
which he tells, but I'll post that later.  Glenn is playing at the Whisky in
L.A. on Halloween but the advertisement says BlackAcidEvil...cool, huh?  I'm
still gonna go see the Misfits.

Warm Regards,

Subject: SAMHAIN and HALOWEEN.

Hey
Well, evidently, someone asked what Samhain was. WELL O WAS EAING IN A
RESTURANT AND PICKE UP THE TIDBITS magazine and it had halloween stuff in
it... heres what it said-_-

"The New Year of the ancient Celts in Great Britian and Ireland began on
November 1.  Their celebration began the night before, on October 31, and
honored the Celtic lord of death, whose name is SAMHAIN.  It was their
beleif that SAMHAIN permitted the souls of the dead to visit their earthly
homes for one night per year.  After the Celts became christians  hundreds
of years later, the Church declared November 1 as "All Saints' Day", and
dedicated a Mass that day reffered to as "Allhallowmass".  Thus, October 31
came to be known as "All Hallows' Eve", and later "HALLOWEEN"."

From: Ksaxon 
Subject: Samhain and other stuff

Here's my definition....

The meaning of the word Samhain is in the encyclopedia, but since you asked. Samhian was 
the ancient celts god of death. They had a yearly celebration of Samhain where 
superstitous rituals and good fortune rituals were performed. Halloween is a derivative 
of it.
The exact memory of the rituals and halloween deriving from it is a bit hazy, so if I'm 
a little wrong, feel free to correct me.

And I'll forever be forever yelling a loud, resounding "FUCK" to the Misfits, their tour 
organizeation, Western Australia and the large amount of open desert between Perth nd 
any of the three Australian cities they're playing.

And also to Cradle of Filth who are ALSO not coming to Perth.
And ALSO to Iron Maiden who have never come to Perth.(in a whole almost 20 years. I maen 
they go to Canberra.. the smallest damn state, most upperclass place of the lot. what's 
up with that?????)

But then agian I can be happy that the Misfits are actually entering Australia in the 
first place, even if it's too far away.
And I might as well have another groan about t-shirts while I'm on the groaning theme.
Damn being a medium.

And who the fuck is this Adam West guy? The first time I saw discussions of him on the 
list I thought batman had turned muso or sumthin..

Whoever said Oasis.. a real band. I don't know if this is just some fucking lame, poor 
attempt to start a huge flame thing but you got my attention. 
I hate Oasis almost as much as I hate the Spice Girls. Admittedtlt mostly for their 
attitude than their music.

Subject: things

really want to see the new video, anyone know if it's gonna air EVER again?
Will they release some stuff on videotape, for those unfortunates among us
who missed the video? Anyone have an inkling?
A lot has been made the past few bibles about Danzig's blackacidevil and AP,
and the differences between them.  So, i took a listen to b-a-d, and i think
that the album has a lot of good music on there - some are really kick-ass ,
and some are worse than others (which means, conversely, that some are better
than others); this is true of almost all of glenn's earlier albums,  - every
song isn't great - but there are more good than bad tunes on the album.  My
criticism is that, on that album - after the very good "4", he messes with
what's always been his strongest attribute as an artist - his voice - it was
so distorted on some of the songs of lesser quality that it detracted from
the song.  All in all it's a good album, maybe a great one if you take one or
two songs and put em on a B side somewhere (like the title song).
AP's a completly different creature, much more like a Ramones or Glennfits
album - not hard on the brain and doesn't aspire to be.  Hell, there's enough
of that shit out there.  AP is all escapism, come in and join the fun, you
either dig it or you don't.  A lot of folks on this here bible are polarized
between old and current Fits, fuck it, it's better than most of the new shit
they play on the radio these days.  Glenn's past that, he's  attempting to be
an auteur - the "artist of the floating world" (ishiguro) - he aspires to
something higher.  So what if he doesn't want to do the Fits thing, let the
rest of them carry on with their things.
But don't take it out on Glenn,
he'll be sad,
and even Danzig needs a hug every now and then.
Bye.

Hello fiends...

the creature, and why is the creature wearing half of an ape suit and a
divers helmet ?

George Barrows a friend of Director/Producer Phil Tucker - plays the
creature who is named Ro-Man. They could not afford a robot costume and
that is why you have the combo half ape suit half divers helmet.  also the
reason George got the job was he owned the costume.

4) What monster comes to life after the A-Bomb tests in the Arctic?
(Bonus 3 points What movie company puts this movie out, who did the special

giant octopus have and why? (Bonus 1 point if you can name the famous
bridge it destroys in the movie?)

was it and who gave it to the creature?

Little Kong was what almost everyone gave me which i gave points for even
though it was not what i was looking for.  this name was given to him by

I know at least one place to find the CD ad vinyl. Happy hunting! -I want Samhain vids. There's one out there with packagine and all(a la Creepy Compilation) but I havent seen it lately. Dammit! -To the guy/gal who thinks Graves is better than Danzig: Glenn wrote every Misfits song that we all liked enough to sign up for this Bible(unless you are one of the extremely new fiends who have gotten into them in the last year). Graves did not, and would have nothing to do with the Fits if not for Glenn. You may like Graves, but better than Danzig? I can't see how any Fits fan could think so. -the Oasis thing: whoever said that just did it to get people all wound up.

I wasn't afraid to take the heat from >you when I first came on here 18 months ago - and if you were around back >then, you know, I got a lot - and I faced it like a man Jerry Only is full of shit. He will NEVER come on and post to the bible. NEVER...sorry kiddies. First off, why would he now? The new band is already established. If Jerry was ever going to come on the bible, he would have back in 95, or early 96 when he was trying to get word out about where shows would be, and about new releases. But no. Why? Jerry feels that this little mailing list is his FAN CLUB. Jerry is a rock star, and this is HIS mailing list. Why should he post? Since when has a band ever had any REAL contact with members of their fan club? Jerry wants to be this over-inflated, intangible, rock god...if he got on here and posted, that would bring him down to "our level"..Jerry wont do that. >Glenn created THE MISFITS. He got all the songwriting credit because, >believe it or not, he WROTE it all. He didn't WANT all the power. He had >the talent and the vision - and most of us respected that fact. Jerry >wanted CONTROL. He manipulated Glenn by fucking with his insecurity. Did >you read the latest FLIPSIDE interview. Jerry alludes to this fact in >there. I got the following from Denmom, it should further shed light on the topic: "Its true. Bobby told me that he thought he (Glenn) was gay and was very surprised to see him out in public with a female. He did usually travel with his little group of friends, Howie, Nick Berlin from the Blessed,and a couple of other guys. I guess you might have gotten that impression. He was very insecure, he told me he'd been a fat little kid and was sure everyone still looked at him as 'that short fat guy'." "Glenn is pretty easily manipulated, I think thats why he's so schizo, cause he's been led down the path too many times by Jerry. Jerry fucked up the band, not Glenn. Glenn has a lot of emotional problems, and Jerry really takes advantage of that. Glenn is an artistic type, he doesnt have alot of stomach for all this 'he said, she said' he just wanted his work to GET OUT THERE, he didnt really want to mess with the details of making it happen. he put his trust in Jerry and Jerry took advantage of it. I think Glenn had a 'crush' on Jerry, nothing gay, just really admired him, cause Jerry was all the things Glenn wasnt, tall blond, lots of girls, athletic, big nice (!?) family, smooth talker, etc blah blah. Jerry had a car,Glenn couldnt even drive (still cant). Jerry had 3 different girlfriends, Glenn couldnt even deal with one. Jerry's dad supported the idea of the Misfits, Glenns parents thought he was wasting his time. etc. etc." interesting, eh? dave ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 11:52:22 -0400 (EDT) From: lidsjt93@mail.suny.edu Subject: Bootleg CD Vampira On this CD, the version of Nike A Go Go sounds different than the one on Disc 3 of the Box Set (ie, you can really hear the keyboard on the boot). Did they remix everything (like they did with the NOTLD single's songs)? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 12:06:23 -0400 From: Christopher Waters Subject: A few more words by EE I just read today's (Monday's) Bible, and I have a few responses: To houghton@erols.com: Jerry talks about the break-up in '83 in the interview we did with him in Atlanta. He told us that Glenn had some problems with Googy (he got rid of him about a year earlier), and Glenn really didn't want to put up with him (I never really got the scoop on what the case was, though). The bottom line was that either Glenn deal with Googy or leave. So Glenn left. That's the story I got--whether or not it's 100 percent, I don't know. This interview will be in the next issue of Vibrations of Doom webzine, which should be out anytime. Just look out for it: http://www.kmf.org/~cl/vod_home.html And, might I say, kudos to Chris (alphawolf_28@hotmail.com) for his post "Why Can't We Just Grow Up?" I agree with you all the way on that one. I really think it's immature as hell to post stuff bashing other fiends and what they think. Just think about this, guys and gals--we're all fiends--isn't that a good reason to get along? Besides, what if the person you want to flame is standing right in front of you (face to face)--would you still flame that person? The scary thing is--who knows what they might do if you flame them to their face. I know this is the net and many of you probably won't meet most of these people anywhere, but you never know (and it's just something to think about). Also, I'm sure Glenn thinks it's immature for any of you to flame Bobby, Jerry or any of the Misfits, and I'm sure Jerry, the Misfits, and Bobby are the same way. Newfits, Oldfits--I love them all! To hell with the politics--I love the music! 'Nuff said! To Bobby Steele: Just wanted to know if there are any sound files or anything from the Undead I can check out before I buy. I've never heard them before, and I've been very curious. Also, I heard you might be coming up to Atlanta soon (Masquerade). If so, let me know when and I'll try to go to the show. Just thought I'd add in my two cents, so now I'll get off my soapbox. Anyone feel the need to flame me, send it to ME! Later fiends! EE Fiend ------------------------------ From: "Matt Richards" Subject: cwn anwnn/samhain/oasis/ronnie biggs Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 09:18:35 PDT CWN ANWWN was a dark Celtic god in that mythology. The morrigu was some type of animal god- shape-shifter thing, I don't recall exactly. Something like that I think. Check Bullfinch's mythology. I loaned out my copy of the book that deals with all this two years ago and never got it back. Also to flesh out the Samhain seasonal thing-- yes, it was the the Celtic pagan new year representing the autumn solstice in the wiccan and other nature-religion calendars. Samhain was first in importance, followed by Beltane the spring equinox around March 20-21st. Samhain was the "season of the dead" because the celts believed the spirits of the dead hung around until the end of the year, at which point they were released to the afterlife. A beautiful ritual that went with this was that on Samhain night, OCT 31, most major hills in ireland would have bonfires built atop them to warm the souls on their journey and to ward off faeries from obstructing these freed souls. There are lots of other stories that follow this tradition. Loreena Mckennit has used it frequently as a theme for her songs (she did the soundtrack for "Jade") and her music can be extremely haunting. Obviously SAMHAIN represents a darker, more mystical side of rebirth and for this reason (perhaps) it was especially meaningful for Glenn as he started over after the misfits. In defense of Ronnie Biggs who I've talked with privately-- he's a good guy and did not mean that Oasis was a better band just because they were making more money than the Misfits. He said they were better AND were making more money-- don't be so quick to jump on people. Oasis is a damn good band whether or not they are very original or worship the Beatles.(I know another band that isn't very original and tries to copy an old broken-up horror-punk group) Noel is great guitar player and has a great feel for song-craft as well as writing some very thoughtful lyrics. I would point out that Oasis is a very honest and upfront band with little regard to what people think of them and they love to tumble with people who criticize them. They are closer in spirit to the old misfits and punk than the new misfits are. As times change, different kinds of rebellion are needed. Also the historical Ronnie Biggs was not just a convicted british felon but also sang some Sex Pistols songs on the Great Rock and Roll Swindle because it was only half finished when the band imploded. McLaren though him a colorful character. cheers and jeers and make mine HEINEKEN Blasmaster Lycanthro13 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 18:23:20 +0200 From: roland.carlsson@hks.se (Pontus Carlsson) Subject: Mark Estes Captain Harlock shirts!

Not everyone on this list has a problem with people criticizing the Misfits or Danzig. And some of us are even actually able to make fun of the things we like. Go figure. --------- A friend of mine went to see Rollins (or Black Flag fame, or, un-fame) do some of his spoken word stuff.

In My Opinion...bud is one of the best things in the world, Micheal Graves sez so too, go read the High Times Interview on the Pit Oasis: These guys suck...I hope Jerry O, Doyle, and the rest don't track down whoever said that and beat the living hell out of em. I'm just waitin for em to meet Oasis someday and have another Motley Crue incident, But they'd probly wind up killingem or some shit....which would still be cool....maybe they could use it in the AP video Glenn being in control: I've read numerous article in which Glenn sez When he wants to do something musically, he'll find a way to do it. He just has a lot of talent & vision in music. (I just hope his next work isn't so industrial influenced) Glenn Sounding Like NIN: Yeah, I'll admit 5 wasn't my favorite Danzig album (4 was) but you gotta admit, it was still the Danzig sound despite all the electro-drums & synth. I liked the guitars on it, he juts needs to get rid of some of the synth. The Drums sounded kinda cool in blackacidevil. Jerry O,Doyle,etc. Being on the Bible: I think this would be cool, They just say "If anyone pisses us off I'll beat the shit out of em when I'm in your town" That would stop me from talkin shit, They're some big muthafuckas....... Micheal Graves: Ok, so he needs some practice, but he's still a damn great singer. Everyone who talks shit about singers should try to sing...in pitch and make it sound good. I'm17 5'3"(About as tall as glenn) and my band does Misfits, Samhain, & Danzig covers. I'm the guitarist and singer..And I tell ya....his stuff is not easy to sing...especially Sistinas...in an unrelated note, the funnest song to sing would have to be Brand New God Misfits Guitars: Great idea but OVERPRICED!!!!! I mean c'mon, anyone heard of Steve Vai?? Arguably one of the all-time most skilled guitarists and his 7-string Ibanez only costs $2,000 last time i checked, shit Mine cost me $200 back in '89 The Misfits Dumping the make-up, clothes hair,etc: ARE YOU FUCKIN NUTS?!?!?! C'mon, Devilocks, Leather, Spikes, Shit like that has been a part of the Misfits Since They Recorded Static Age. If they did that, they might as well start singin about happy shit and dump the whole horror image....THAT WOULD SUCK!!!! DUHB Vid: Not the best song in the world but this video KICKS ASS!!! Its up there on my all time favorite Video list (Cantspeak at the top) Samhain: This is the Pagan holiday to celebrate the death & rebirth of the world, it envolves a huge feast and asfor sacrificing, the way this works is if there isn't enough food for the animals to last thru winter, the slaughter the weak for the Lord of the Dead (AKA Collector of Souls, AKA Grim Reaper) I also heard it was The Celtic New Year. Nov. 4th Show @ RCKNDY: Some on here said they were goin, Is this show all ages or 18+??

Glenn lost all his talent after he left the misfits, so the misfits had no choice but to replace his stupid ass with graves, who is a better singer but cant write songs as well. jerry said "This isnt a reunion, its a whole new band. We just play old stuff because you want to hear it, and we want to play it." the dig up her bones video is a little bit wacky, but the misfits are a little bit wacky too. i thought that graves did look like glenn in the video, but what do i care. glenn sucks. graves is in there and glenn is not. everybody should leave jerry alone, he is just trying to make a living, like you and me. at least he still lives for the misfits unlike some x-members. and for you bobby steele, EAT SHIT! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 12:26:38 -0700 From: R Hinojos Subject: Bleeder's Diegest Mark, please unsubscribe me from the Bible. but before i go... i joined the Fiend Club...sometime. i don't remember when. but, the first mailing i got was issue #1 of the Bleeder's Diegest. i thought, "oh, how cute" and was finished reading the little thing in no time. (i think "Jewish Sports Legends" was a longer pamphlet.) i figured, hey issue #1, it'll get off the ground. lo and behold, a couple weeks ago i got issue #2. what a disappointment! 4 pages of even less info than the first issue. blah. i'd ask for my money back, but then again it's free. and speaking of money... is the Bleeder's Diegest a source of juicy info about the new Misfits or is it really just a big bloated advertisement for Squirt! magazine? i love the way each Diegest prominently promotes that unashamedly new Misfits-worship magazine. on the back cover of Bleeder's Diegest #2, they ask us to write in and tell them what we think. i'm not gonna waste a stamp, just your time and some space in the Bible. my review: it sux. it really really sux. i thought that a Misfits Fan Club mailing would have stuff directly from the Misfits: a little paragraph from Jerry, exclusive photos, exclusive interviews. hell, i'd even settle for a catalog of available T-shirts, CDs, cassettes, and vinyl. but, no, we get a third-rate Rolling Stone with some really bad writing. don't forget to buy your copy of Squirt! cheers ryq ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 12:59:48 -0700 From: CBC Subject: lets face facts OK, since this is my first post I'll be respectful. I've been reading the Bible for three years off and on, and now it's time to throw my 2 cents in. Misfits, my fave band ever. But they are not the Misfits anymore. They are a good band. I've seen them several times since they're come back or whatever it's called. But you can take the soul of the band out and still call it the same band. I like em and I like Danzig. i also live in southern cali and have the choice to see Danzig or the Misfits on Halloween. Should I see a cover band with some "original" songs, or the man who started this whole argument in the first place, a man who is still breaking new ground(i admit the last album was kinda, well you know:). My choice is to see Danzig, but i wish they were playing at different times so I could see em both. They are both good and I'm sick of people choosing sides. Lets respect all the artists and give em they're due ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 17:50:21 -0500 From: punkture Subject: 138 Someone on the last bible asked what 138?

Date: Tue, 14 Oct 1997 12:24:07 -0400 (EDT) From: "Brian Cameron Findlay" Ok, heres an interesting 138 sighting from the State News in Lansing, Michigan: A bus carrying nearly 50 senior citizens on a Thanksgiving Day trip to view the turning of the seasons plunged into a ravine Monday in central Quebec, killing 43 people. Quebec provincial police said the accident took place in the afternoon about 60 miles northeast of Quebec City. The bus was traveling on HIGHWAY 138 and crashed at the bottom of a steep hill heading into a hard right curve..... The article goes on with some other insignificant details, but i just thought that was wacky... Oh, by the way, as anyone heard any rumors about who might be opening the Feb. 2 Misfits show in Grand Rapids? I know its a long way off, but rumors have a tendancy to form early :) -- Brian Findlay "Whoa hoah ho, whats that supposed to mean?" --- ------------------------------ Subject: Jerry and Glenn are both full of shit (my review of the From: davenaked@juno.com (dave naked) Date: Tue, 14 Oct 1997 13:43:52 EDT Well, I just picked up my copy of "Seconds". Geez, I cant help to feel that Ive just WASTED my three dollars. Why? Well, the real question should be, why do rock stars feel they must LIE to their fans? What, we cant handel the truth about why THE MISFITS really broke up, or what Glenn Danzig's last name REALLY is. Is it that they figure we as the fans would LOSE RESPECT for them if they actually came out with the truth. If Jerry Only just simply said that, well, yeah back then Glenn was in control of everything, but its not like that now and its a team effort...or something like that would people not like him or the NewFits?...no. If Glenn just said, fuck my name used to be Analzone, and I really used to be a short, fat, big-nosed Italian guy.., what would happen? Nothing at all. Here are some specific examples... SECONDS: The commen complaint was that The Misfits became a Hardcore band on "Earth AD" and lost their original vibe. ONLY: Thats why I broke up the band... Ok, first off we know thats total bullshit and Jerry DID NOT break up THE MISFITS...right? He then goes on to say... ONLY: It seemed that Glenn's ego was to big for the band. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I had seven years of time and so much money in the band that for me to walk away would be stupid. I said, "you find a drummer and if we pull off Halloween and the kids good, we'll go to Germany.". We opened with "20 Eyes" and the kid didnt get one beat in the right spot......Glenn could have told me, "We'll take the guy from The Necro's to Germany. I'm sorry, you were right". But he didnt say that and I told everyone that night, "This is our last night, and Im not going to Germany". But, wait...I thought HE broke up the band because he didnt like the musical direction they were taking. No, now HE broke up the band because they didnt have a drummer to tour Germany with. How about this... ONLY: For the Misfits to come out with a clean album (no cursing) and for you to love it, I think that sayd something about our songwriting. Let me just say, if Im wrong about this PLEASE let me know. From what it seems, Jerry just said that for them to come out with an album with no cursing can only mean that they are GOOD SONG WRITERS. Is that what Jerry is saying? Maybe that the only reason anyone liked the old band was because they cursed so much. We should all take offense to this...Jerry is insulting our intelligence. As Bobby has said, Jerry slams on him, which was quite unnecessary. Now, about Glenn...I dont know what his trip is... SECONDS: Where did you get the name Danzig from? DANZIG: It's my family name. Somebody started a rumor a long time ago that it wasnt my name but its not true. Its my name. Its on my license. Theres a story behind it that I dont want to tell you because its a personal thing between me and my family. Maybe the guy who started the rumor was the kind fellow who HAS GLENN'S HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK!! Could it be, maybe, you think?? Does Glenn even look German, come on!!! What a load of bullshit. Well, there you all have it. dave ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Oct 1997 15:12:39 -0400 (EDT) From: StaticAge Subject: RIP Glenn If Glenn dies, do Jerry and Doyle get to go apeshit, and just release everything?

I have plenty to do. But there are lots of fiends that are interested in hearing from a former MISFIT. Fiends are also interested in hearing the developements in the lawsuit that Joey Image and myself are filing against Jerry for embezzling our share of the box set royalties. I never would've had to do this if Jerry hadn't initiated a campaign of slander against me in the press, but a man has to defend his reputation. Read all of the articles in MISFITS CENTRAL. You'll see how Glenn and Jerry constantly contradict themselves - especially in regards as to why I was removed from the band. Maybe you'll get a better understanding. At least, with my band, I call it THE UNDEAD . . . not the MISFITS - just so I can take advantage of a bunch of naive kids to take their money. Before you go trying to put me down . . . look at the amount of success THE UNDEAD had over te past 15 years. Then look at what Jerry accomplished - outside of THE MISFITS - over that period. And next time you personally email me, you don't have to send the entire bible. ------------------------------ Date: 15 Oct 1997 14:29:58 -0000 From: bible@zombie.plan-9.com Subject: Last First, I talked to Jerry on Wednesday - the band has 450 sets of armbands to sell on this tour, so keep your eyes open for them. He's also working on getting the Annihilator and Devastator guitars mass-produced and just got some prototype molds made... apparently another 10 are on the way. That's ALL I know on this subject. He had no idea when they might be avialable for sale. Also, look for a surprise at the Roseland show in New York City next week. > From: davenaked@juno.com (dave naked) > Date: Mon, 13 Oct 1997 11:41:16 EDT > > Jerry Only is full of shit.

Why do you say this stuff? What do you personally have against the man? He doesn't deserve that crap. Do you want to know why he doesn't post to the bible? He doesn't have a computer. He spends his day practicing, occasionally writing songs, making phone calls, and writing letters to people who write to him for autographs, etc. He fills out all the mail merchandise orders for the Fiend Club. What do you want him to do? Why don't you buy him a computer - then maybe he'll get online. In the mean time, he'll continue as he always has, calling me to pass information on to YOU. Do you want to know why he's in no hurry to get online? It's because of accusing, angry messages like yours. You would never say this to him in person, and I don't know anyone who would. > From: lidsjt93@mail.suny.edu > Subject: Bootleg CD Vampira > > On this CD, the version of Nike A Go Go sounds different than the one on > Disc 3 of the Box Set (ie, you can really hear the keyboard on the boot). > Did they remix everything (like they did with the NOTLD single's songs)? All the tracks on the BOX SET were remastered, not remixed. NO tracks on the box set (and that includes the NOTLD stuff) were remixed. There are 3 different versions of the "Nike A Go Go" keyboard track. The one on the VAMPIRA bootleg CD is from a lost master tape. The one on the box set is from the same session, but is a different mix with a different vocal track. There is yet another version of the one on the BOX SET with a much lower keyboard track that wasn't included on the BOX. Want to know more?

Could anyone ever possibly have more than one reason for doing something? Both Jerry and Glenn have been saying for years that they don't like the sound of Earth AD. Why? I don't know. I think it's one of the most amazing, intense albums I've ever heard. I like it better than WALK AMONG US, but that's just me. Glenn says Jerry, Doyle, and Robo recorded the instrumental tracks while he slept, and that's true. Jerry says Glenn and Spot were in charge of the production and that Glenn put the album out (in December of '83) after they broke up. That's true too. Either way, neither of them seem to like it. As for the last show, Jerry has been saying for years that the show didn't go well and that he only wanted Glenn to just apologize for it and admit that he was wrong. Jerry says he and Doyle were so pissed that they played the show sitting down on their amps. Glenn had already lost interest in the band and had started working on Samhain stuff. Glenn says that he quit the band in June '83 after the Santa Monica Civic show. He obviously changed his mind, since the whole band went into the studio in July of that year to finish up EARTH AD, and they also did a show or two in the New York City area. Regardless, the band hadn't practiced much when the Halloween show rolled around. Listening to the tape of the show makes this obvious. And another thing - it's obvious that something happened on that stage that night because Glenn says to the crowd that it's their last show ever. And so it was, at least together. They did have a tour of Germany planned to support the German releases of EARTH AD and EVILIVE. Jerry had to cancel it after the show. Either way, it seems to me that 2 guys (Jerry and Glenn) who had been performing as the Misfits for roughly 6 years, 6 months, and 6 days (first show 4/25/77, last show 10/29/83 - Halloween '83) just got tired of each other. Both tell the story from their own point of view. Would you do otherwise? > ONLY: For the Misfits to come out with a clean album (no cursing) and > for you to love it, I think that sayd something about our songwriting. > > what it seems, Jerry just said that for them to come out with an > album with no cursing can only mean that they are GOOD > SONG WRITERS.

Here's the full text, in the proper context: "I told them to put a sticker on our album because it has absolutely no swear words and no guitar leads, one of the boldest statements in thirty-five years of Rock & Roll. Do you have to have gang wars to get an album to sell? Do you have to swear and be really cool? Or can you get down in the trenches and kick it? With this new record, I told the guys, "There's no reason we can't write spooky songs without swearing." So we did it. For The Misfits to come out with a clean album and you to love it, I think that says something for our songwriting." Interpret it how you wish, but let me promise you that he had no intention of insulting your intelligence. It's just an interesting point. You're obviously reaching for every chance to slam this guy. > Now, about Glenn...I dont know what his trip is... > SECONDS: Where did you get the name Danzig from? > > DANZIG: It's my family name.

He has stated before that he's part German, and perhaps he is. Perhaps there's a member of his family somewhere whose last name is Danzig. For all we know, it could be his mother's maiden name. He never directly says that Danzig was always his last name. > From: StaticAge > Subject: RIP Glenn > > If Glenn dies, do Jerry and Doyle get to go apeshit, and just release > everything?

Regarding the guitars MARILYN812@aol.com said "When i talked to Doyle at a >Misfits show in D.C., we asked about the guitars.He said the origanal >company he was going to go through(the company named in >the AP CD, its in Baltimore, MD.) backed out of the deal because it was >much trouble or something like that and he said when they were done >they were going to look for a new distributer." I hope they drop the price too ... there is no way I'm dropping $5,000 on a guitar that doesnt stay in tune. Wolfsblood says "First off, to Art Zawodny and Keith "GWAR" Noss, a big "Hell Yeah!" The trib cd is great. " Yea, listen to this guy ,..... he knows the deal ... :) Riotgrl5@aol.com said "to quote Homer Simpson "DHOAH"!!!" Its actually written "D'oh" ... but I'll let it slide this time ... :> Initium said "Great idea but OVERPRICED!!!!! I mean >c'mon, anyone heard of >Steve Vai??Arguably one of the all-time most >skilled guitarists and his 7-string Ibanez >only costs $2,000 last time i checked, shit Mine cost me $200 back in '89 Spending $2,000 on an Ibanez, regardless of what dumb rock stars name is painted on it, is insanity. For $2,000 grand you can buy a real guitar, like a Les Paul Custom, and leave the toys for the boys in spandex. and now for my rant....... What really amazes me the most about what the bible has sunk too is that everyone bitching about how Glenn sucks probably have been listening to the Misfits for years and loving those songs, and now that there is a new bandwagon to jump on, the forget their roots on go right on blasting him. Regardless of what kind of a person Danzig really is, he wrote songs 20 years ago that are still influencing bands today and I pop on my stereo several times a month. While I think AP isnt a bad effort, I can't see that it will have the same impact in 20 years .... "MR-PHIBES" >BOBBY, DO YOU NOT HAVE ANY THING BETTER TO DO THAN REMEMBER YOUR DAYS IN >THE MISFITS? Yea, enough about Bobby's time in the Misfits, lets hear from you. Tell us some stories about when YOU were in the Misfits. Wait a second, just looking through my albums and stuff, I don't see your name on any of them? Are you the fifth Misfit? The Pete Best of the Misfits? The one nobody knows about? C'mon, let us all in on your secret. Tell us about all the gigs you played with Glenn and Jerry and Googy and Manny and Franche and Doyle. I want to hear how you killed that kid with your guitar, or how you spent the night in jail with Glenn in England, or how you got chased by Hanson down the street. How much money do Glenn and Jerry owe you? For all the songs you played on its got to be close to $0.00! Be friggin grateful there is actually someone who played in that band on this list ... the rest of them seem to be too chicken shit to come on because we don't behave.
