It was done with impressive speed and I'm sure everyone is grateful for their generous contribution of time and effort. Secondly, cheers for the reference to Repo Man and the Circle Jerks in a posting in the last Bible. Repo Man is a great movie and I highly recommend it to everyone on the Bible (vintage Emilio Estevez!). Thirdly, thanks to the person who posted about the Celtic beliefs concerning October 31st. That was pretty cool and a good example of what makes the Bible such a good source of information. Lastly, NINcompoop, you better watch it or I'll tell Sasquatch that you've been tracking her for months (hee hee hee hee!). blood "i like green day" boy blacksburg = green hell ------------------------------ From: EevilDon@aol.com Date: Tue, 4 Apr 1995 17:49:40 -0400 Subject: Re: #2(2) Misfits Bible, #70 yeah, after i posted the bobby letter i realized he wasn't in the band during the time of halloween. maybe that explains alot about booby!

Many records have > this defect (check out Vain's first album for a horrendous example!!). Well, although this may be true in most cases, this is not the case with Mommy. Here's the story from Jerry - When the band was recording the music (not the vocals) for the Earth AD album, Glenn fell asleep. When they got to Mommy... (released later on the Die Die EP) they woke Glenn up so that he could yell the "Mommy, [pause] can I go out and kill tonight?" during the break in the song. That way they could time it correctly. Later when Glenn added the vocals, he used the lower volume yelling as his cue. Mike Westlake > On the Demonomania Club discs the first concert is listed as being held in > Detroit. But, as my memory hopefully recalls so that I don't have to hear > the rath of all of you Glenn thanks Black Flag for bringing them out west. The Demonomania Club lists the shows INCORRECTLY. The correct listing is this: Disc 1 - Live 4/17/82 at Al's Bar; Los Angeles, CA Disc 2 - Tracks 1-17: Live 3/27/82 at Irving Plaza; New York, NY Tracks 18-30: Live 12/25/81 at Hittsville; Passaic, NJ > Can someone tell me what the label and number of the German Earth > A.D./Evilive/Wolfsblood.

It's actually taken from a 4/17/82 performance at Al's Bar in Los Angeles, as Mark later found out. I guess that the Misfits were banned from playing Max's K.C. at the time that this gig supposedly took place. It's always good to get the facts straight... So for everyone ordering the tapes - please note the difference. I guess everything else on the tape checked out as being correct (info-wise).

Chris ------------------------------ From: dorin@popmail.mcs.com Date: Tue, 4 Apr 1995 20:53:12 Subject: comments..whatever... Tim and Veronica: Did you actually thank that Glenn's on this?? That would be cool... but anyways--coments and an observation: On the whole slow or fast Misfits thing...I like stuff on Legacy a lot..especially Theme for a Jackal. Theme for a Jackal, Cough/Cool, She, Return of the Fly, Come Back, and those sorts are my favorite Misfits songs..anyone with me on this? I finally heard Last Caress-THE ORIGINAL- and I don't think Metallica was able to cover it well. The lyrics seem pretty hard core, but the music isn't. And I agree with what someone said about how Hetfield sung flat and so on.. Green Hell was ok since Metallica's into that stuff--but i never really like Green Hell.. I think that's a pretty cool idea to have people on the list record Misfits songs, I'm up to it... and now an observation... anyone notice how Kiss of Steel by Samhain sounds quite a bit like Horror Hotel in places? --Greg ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Apr 1995 12:35:41 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: attention foreign fiends... Hello, Well, a lot of requests are coming in for the video from foreign countries and I just wanted to keep you all updated and informed on the progress there. Sometime this week I will go down to the post office and check all of the rates for the people who have sent requests from these countries. I will then send you the rates to your personal e-mail address and then you can decide if it's worth it to you. Okay? Finally, this is a reminder that the videotapes are only being dubbed in American format (no P.A.L.). Please make sure you check your VCR format before placing an order.

Nelson" Subject: sightings in the past few weeks i have seen many misfits/samhain shirts worn by the "stars" ....(joke) 1) if anyone has ever seen the band photo of u.s.a. for m.o.d. you will see that this greasy haired early 80's metal man is wearing an intium shirt (i think he is the drummer?)...then on the inside, there is another picture of the band and they are covered with blood...samhain ripoff, ha. 2) if there are any NOFX fans here if you look at that video they just put out you will see that there is a shot of them playing at the show and one of the band members (el jefe?) is wearing a really cool misfits shirt that i have never seen before, i thnk that it has something to do with horror buisiness. 3) lastly there was a picture of ian Macay when he was in minor threat and he was a wearing a misfits shirt, this picture was totally weird just because i had never seen ian wearing a band shirt before. (he usually wears really plain clothes on stage as far as i have seen) i was also wondering if any of you lived in the chicagoland area during the summer because i am in a band that does numerous misfits covers (slightly humorous) and we play every once in a while (whenever our shows don't get cancelled) so email me if you are going to be there dmnelson@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu thanx again angelfuck ------------------------------ From: PumroyKJ98%CS28%USAFA@cadetmail3.usafa.af.mil Date: Thu, 6 Apr 95 00:14:32 MDT Subject: various junk hey misfellas and misfellets, (sorry, just had to do that once). I got back from spring break and read the past three bibles. thanks for all the responses about my last post on Manny and stuff. I want to clarify what I was talking about Earth AD songs played live. I know stuff that wasn't (I don't think) on the original earth AD like Mommy, Die Die, demonomania etc were played live. I was speaking of death comes ripping, green hell, devilock, and everything off Wolfsblood other than demonomania. Out of the bootlegs I've heard of, these and some others were not mentioned. I'd like to know what bootlegs do have these songs. I can't get to that http sight to see if there's any information there. also, nobody really had any explanation why Misfits started without guitars. Did they not want them or were they unable to find somebody to play. it seems strange to me being a bass player and songwriter wanting to start a band with no guitar player. something else I've noticed. Has anybody out there been able to find similarities between samhain songs and Danzig songs? for example, I (maybe I'm imagining things though) think that the end of the Howl (my favorite for some reason) sounds a LOT like the end of Mother. when I transcribed both to bass I got basically the same chords with different rhythm. has anybody else noticed this and noticed more? -two more quick things. Page did write the soundtrack to Lucifer Rising and I'm pretty sure he was even in the movie. lastly, what that guy said about Candyman II I think is right. I saw the misfits thing on the back of that notepad but it was really fast and I thought "nah, I'm just imagining things" I'm glad somebody else noticed it. by the way, I don't think wes craven had anything to do with the sequal, I stayed for a while on the credits and never saw his name. I could be wrong though. sorry this is so long. later.

I don't know if people are getting tired of this subject yet or not, but I discovered yet another Misfits sighting last night. In the inlay for "The Whitey Album" by Ciccone Youth ( w/ Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth) there is a picture of a girl in her room, which is completely wall papered in flyers from various shows. Towards the top of the picture is a flyer for a Misfits show. I think it was from a show in September of 1981 but I could be wrong. My memory isn't too good. The flyers were awesome though. Black Flag, Necros, etc. Wish that was my wall! Thanks for the info on the cover songs. Sorry for not checking the home page first Mark. I didn't even think about it being on there. Has anyone seen Danzig yet on the current tour? I don't remember anyone posting about it yet. I don't think I'm going to be able to see any of them this time around, and I'm not too happy about that. I'm trying to arrange a trip to Florida to see them a couple of times. That's the only time I can do it because I'm in school until then and they're not really coming anywhere near here. Hey Liz, are you still going to FL? I have a friend who lives there (that kid Marc that I thought you met at the MM show) and he's offered to let me stay at his house. He wants to go to the show too and see MM again. Things might just work out after all! Well, enough for now. BTW, I think the Bible just keeps getting better and better. It's so much more friendly and informative than the newsgroup. That's almost a joke. I'm so glad I found this! Thanx to everyone for conversing with and helping out everyone else. You all rule. Talk to you soon!

I have DOMINION which I am in the process of transcribing but its rather difficult to transfer from paper to computer TXT due to it being weird in spots. Also if anyone sends me a SASE I can give them the correct photcopies of these songs. Look in guitar magazines every month you will sometimes find a Danzig song.

Is it worth it? Is it VALUABLE? Will it ever be? Does anyone have more information on this? -- Lord Valgamon 800-241-7337 ext. 1673# ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 Apr 1995 16:55:39 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: The video and audio... Hello Fiends, Well, I just went through and reviewed the final products for the video and audio compilations and thought I would tell you what I think of them. First of all, the audio tape is excellent. These recordings are definitely the highest quality you can find (probably because most of it is from the originals). This is well worth your time and money. BTW, most people are sending in $6.00 to cover costs ($3.00 goes to the tape, and $3.00 goes to priority shipping). I recommend sending in at least that much for the video as well. Now about the video...I realize that this extra time between now and after May 7 may be getting you rather antsy and excited about finally getting video of the band. I have to tell you, don't get your hopes up too high!! I just watched it in a room full of college-aged, testosterone-pumping males. By the time all was said and done, only one other guy was still watching and another one had fallen asleep on the floor. The rest just left the room. And these guys were really into Glenn, etc before watching the tape! I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that THE FOOTAGE IS VERY OLD and ALL OF THE FILMING WAS PERFORMED BY AMATEURS. Is this clear? Please don't expect some super-slick MTV-quality grade footage. In some spots, the audio fades in and out and the picture gets fuzzy. THAT'S WHY THEY CALL THEM BOOTLEGS. I just think it's only fair to warn you about what you are getting. But then again, what do expect -it's FREE aside from shipping and tape costs. If there are any specific questions or concerns, I would be happy to address them for you. But aside from all of the little glitches, the video is still interesting to say the least. The footage from the Bethlehem, PA show is by far the best as far as video/audio quality - not too many break-ups. The other stuff is kind of hit or miss, but the dialogue and incidents between songs makes it worth your time. Watching the tape, I got the sense that Glenn just did what anybody in his postion would do (a lot of the fans were assholes!!). Also, Glenn didn't appear to be control-freak at all. In fact, Jerry appears to call most of the shots onstage - I think that he served as the backbone when the Misfits played live. The video certainly gives you a better perspective of what kind of people Glenn, Jerry, Doyle, and Robo were back then. They're actually LIKEABLE!! I must say that I am now a huge fan of Jerry's! Kudos to the first person to count how many of Jerry's 1-2-3-4!'s are in the video. Maybe you can make a game out of it. Finally, the funniest part of the video has to be the "Braineaters" video. It's just what you would imagine it to be... Finally, I got all of the European/Foreign postage rates, so all those who wrote in should have received a reply by now. And to all of the PAL users, keep your eyes peeled here because I believe that there is a guy in Italy who can convert the video for you. More when that develops... later - Brent E. ------------------------------ From: dorin@popmail.mcs.com Date: Thu, 6 Apr 1995 16:03:38 Subject: sighting..

On part of the shirt there were some letters which i couldn't read since Kirk's hand was in the way...BUT.. the one's i made out were LY in the end of the first word and ON in the second....so I figured it's probably Unholy Passion. anyways... one more thing...if Glenn IS a racist (which i don't believe) I geuss that would explain "SPOOK" City U.S.A.

They have the "Initium" tribute going in full effect on the cover, blood and devilocks all. On the back they have the Skeleton with the cards, too. They cover "Attitude" on the record. One time when Falling Forward (another Louisville hard core/emo band) was here (Detroit) they played "She" and I got to sing the entire thing with the singer. It seemed like no one else there had ever heard of the song (what the hell are they doing in the hard core scene if they don't listen to the Misfits? I guess they think hard core started with Youth of Today and Revelation records). Anyway, the singer from Falling Forward said that all the bands from Louisville were going to do a 12" of Misfits covers, but that was the last i heard of it. Falling Forward is playing Detroit Saturday, so I'll ask him about it. (By the way, that saved by the Bell with the coffins poster was on at three in the morning last night.) Dempz ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Apr 1995 12:02:09 -0400 From: paul Subject: The new Misfits Just thought I would comment on the discussion of the Misfits without Danzig. Honesly I want the best for Jerry and Doyle because they were just as much the Misfits as Glenn was and without them and other members in the band the Misfits never would have had a horror image, the "twins of evil", such a powerful sound etc... but as far as the music goes Danzig, regardless of his personal side, he has proven his musical ability beyond a doubt. With 3 bands that all have been sucessful musically and all in their own way brillant. Of course again he didn't do it alone but he was the core of the music itself. And I hope everything works out for Jerry and Doyle but musically I don't see how they can reproduce the Misfits without Danzig. They have already tried another band and I don't think Kryst the Conqueor can ever come close to the Misfits. They may reform the Misfits and the image may be half there, after all Glenn was part of the image as well.

First off, I wanna say it's amazing how dedicated ya'll are!!! I wanna thank Robert for making "Demon Bloodseeds" available to me. Totally great stuff! Secondly, I sent the past three Bibles to John Reese at BFD, a friend of mine who is Danzig's manager so there's a strong possibility Glenn will see it. I did discuss the Bible with John Christ at their recent LA show and while he wasn't online yet, he did mention he was giving it a lot of thought.

Since I'm new to the list I thought I'd be polite and introduce myself. My name is Jens Hendren, and I'm a 19 years old computer- science student from Finland. I've been into Misfits for 3-4 years now, and I'm purely into it for the music, not for collecting. Other music I like is some heavy-metal (not Danzig), 'normal' punk (Ramones) and Swedish skinhead- metal. That's all the introduction I think I'll give, but I do have a question too: here in Finland the only records one seems to find are Walk Among Us, Legacy of Brutality and Misfits. Since I'm going over to London in May I thought that somebody perhaps could tell me the name/location of some recordstores where I could search for Misfits and other punk-stuff (atleast I would love to finally get hold of the tracks from Beware...)

Might as well get this off my chest... AN OPEN LETTER TO MR. GLENN DANZIG Dear Glenn, My name is Brent Eyestone and I have been a huge fan of your pre-Danzig bands (and current band) for about nine years now. Tell you what, I'm going to cut straight through the bullshit (since you probably will never read this anyway) and get to the point. I'm sure you are aware that Jerry is re-assembling the most amazing and influential "punk" band ever - that's right, the Misfits, your second band. I'm sure you've got lots of people begging you to rejoin the group and tour all over the place, etc. I want you to know that I understand how impossible and non-feasible this is, given your current band and your comic company commitments, etc. Even if you wanted to do this, you couldn't, right? *BUT*, I do have one simple request of you that you CAN do. I want you to take about three or four months away from Danzig and hop on the next flight to New Jersey. I want you then to go over to Jerry's. I want you to break out the old lyric sheets, talk with Jerry a bit, and then see what happens. After maybe two weeks of spending time with Jerry, I want you to go into your fancy-pants recording studios (courtesy of American) and I want you to re-record the best, if not all, of your Misfits songs. Why? It's simple. You have inspired so many through what you wrote and performed with that band.... but you were young at the time. You didn't have a lot of musical experience. Neither did Jerry or Doyle. You didn't have the best equipment, and you sure as hell didn't have a lot of money. Consequently, a lot of the material you recorded was rushed and cheaply produced. I might as well just be blunt - a lot of the production SUCKED. It's just a shame that some of the most brilliant songs ever were limited by their production. But Glenn, YOU HAVE *ALL* OF THESE THINGS NOW. You have the experience, you have the money, you have the equipment, you have the best studios, you have the best producers - YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT AT YOUR FEET!! I think that you should do this as an act of thanks for all of the fiends out here who have been supporting you since way before "Mother" made you a fucking demi-god. We want it bad, please don't let us down. We're the ones who supported you and made the popularity of "Mother" possible in the first place. We put you on MTV - please don't take us for granted and please deeply consider this. I am not asking for you to re-live the past. I'm asking for you to re-do the past for an even better future FOR YOUR FANS AND YOURSELF. We made you a fucking millionaire and all we ask for is one thing - a few mature, high quality Misfits records that we can listen to and enjoy for the rest of our lives. I'm going to cut this off here, Glenn. I think you get the idea. However, if you care to talk about this or to provide an explanation against this idea, I shall be waiting. You can contact me after May 7 at 2005 Monitor Drive, Stafford, VA 22554, call (702)720-1307, or write ScottEyes@aol.com. We're waiting... Signed, Brent Eyestone and many others **Anyone who agrees should bombard Glenn/American Recordings/etc. with letters similar to this one. Also, to get some discussion going, how would YOU feel if this actually became reality? In other words, should the old stuff be tampered with, or should it just be left as is?

I was scanning "SPINonline" the other day and laughed at the following: (forgive me if this is old news to the rest of you) Apparently, American Recordings has announced that Danzig 4p is the most stolen CD ever. More than 50,000 CDs have been lifted, no doubt due to the smaller-than-standard packaging. Spin noted that the folks @ American seem almost flattered, as their press release reads, "Is that 10 Danzig CDs you've got there, or are you just happy to see me?" Also, about Plan 9--I've read that this was the Misfits' label, that it was/is Glenn Danzig's label, etc... I was just wondering (and forgive me if the question is stupid) who actually owns it (if "own" is the proper word). In reading through the past bibles, someone mentioned a connection between Caroline and Virgin Records. Isn't the latter owned by the same British fellow who owns Virgin Airways (or Airlines)--Anyway, any info would be most appreciated. I love minutia...

It's also got some other cool stuff on it like "To Walk The Night"(Samhain), John Christ's guitar solo (same one as in the Lucifuge video), and a cool Christ intro too "End of Time" on it. The sound quality's pretty decent so it is definitely worth picking up if you can find it. BTW, "Horror Biz" is listed as "Last Caress" on the back so don't be fooled by this.

Kirk Hammet was wearing an "Unholy Passion" shirt in a posed band photo. Cliff Had a big Crimson Ghost Shirt and he was mimicking the face in a photo. Cliff's tattoo, of course. James has a Samhain Skull sticker on the underside of one of his skateboards. James has a huge Danzig sticker on one of his trunks. James wears a black Samhain shirt on stage in a few pictures. I've seen a lot of misfits shirts on the guys. Quoth James Hetfield: "I like Danzig from the Misfits... He can sing real good" The Misfits was the only American band covered for Garage Days. James sings backup for two songs on Danzig I. Jerry's comment before playing "Last Caress" was : What do you wanna hear? We know what we're fuckin' playing, So we don't give a fuck James copies this on "Live Shit": What do you guys wanna hear. We already know what we're fuckin' playing, so...whatever (Jerry's comment was from Al's Bar, BTW) James has also copied Glenn's comment: You guys don't know how to dance, or what.... Too fuckin rough for you, huh? James has done different variations of this in live concerts. James also has a long sleeve Danzig shirt (embroiderred, I think) He went hunting with it on in "Year and a half in the life of Metallica" Well, gotta go!

I have > noticed about the "I wanna be your dog" (Stooges) ripoff but not > Misfits' "Halloween"... Hi guys. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, you're both correct. The song that Mudhoney does called "Halloween" is indeed a cover of the Sonic Youth song of the same name, but the Misfits version can be heard playing in the background at the end of the song. The version can be found on the CD "Superfuzz/Bigmuff and Early Singles" by Mudhoney, on which they credit Sonic Youth for the song. I don't remember seeing any credits to the Misfits, though there is a portion of their song in there. It's a really good song I think. That's interesting that Danzig 4p is the most stolen CD. It does make sense though. I had heard at one point that, due to pressure from record stores because of problems with the package, American Recordings decided to redistribute the CD in a regular cardboard digipack that would fit in the plastic security cases. I have yet to see any of these, so I don't know if there's any truth to that or not. It is rumored to be the exact same with the inlay, etc., but only with a different package. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, will the ones in the original packages be worth any money? I know for some items when they are repressed or repackaged the original version goes up in value. Kinda short on time for today so that's it for me. Talk to you all soon! Angela- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Apr 95 17:23:27 AST From: HellBent Subject: covers and stuff Well, the scene's not to great here in the valley, but just about every half decent band that comes from around here has performed a Misfits cover on regular occasions. It's as if it is part of forming some roots in the scene, they have to play a Misfits tune to attract the attention of the old-schooler's. Since I don't think I've wrote in since about issue #22, I thought I'd mention how I got into the Misfits. When I was around 14 or 15, the punkers from the next town over caught my attention and I fully thought they were the coolest, so I got into skating and punk and the main band that they listened to was the Misfits. To them the Misfits were the coolest band, and the Crimson Ghost was drawn all over the place, it seemed to be more of the image than the music at first, since I had heard all about the Misfits before I actually heard them, and thought they were really rad. Anyway, relating this to something else, those guys who got me into the Misfits didn't care about anything like owning "THE ORIGINAL" copies of Misfits stuff, they just wanted the music. This is what I find strange about most people on the Bible, everyone (well, not everyone) seems to think that they are cool cause they have an original pressing. Big-Shit! Who cares if it is the original or not, it's the same music isn't it, I can't beleive there are people who would pay over $25 for a Misfits album. I mean, they're one of my favorite bands, but you'd never catch me dishing out $150 for one of their albums, just cause it's an original, that's just plain foolish. As far as sound quality goes, the originals weren't that great to begin with, but hey, there a punk band, who cares if it's not crystal clear. Well, I think you get the point. I think it would be great to see the Misfits if they ever get a singer and get on the road, as long as they still have to old horror image, that would be the absolute best. I'm sure there must be a band that would take them on tour with them, I mean, they're the Misfits, what more of a way to attract people to a show. To Brent Eyestone: Great letter, I think I'll send one to American, but they never reply to my mail. To PDH: Yes, that's a Misfits tat on Rollin's arm, I'm wearing the T-shirt right now as a matter of fact. I produced a map of the first leg of Danzig's current tour for my major thematic project, it's alright I guess, do you want to see it on the homepage?

I hope they are bringing you much pleasure. I swear that all the tape decks I'm using to record this stuff will die out by month's end! I don't care, though - it's worth it. It's kind of sad - my roommate sings along to all the songs now (he's a country bumpkin). Anyways, if you haven't got the tape yet, hang in there - it's coming.

Ladies - speak your mind! We'd like to hear from you if nothing else but to get a female perspective every now and then... Okay, a few things about the last Bible... To John Durham - Hmmmm...another kid quick to call Glenn and Henry sellouts. Sheesh - will they ever learn? John, please do yourself a favor and read what we've had to say in previous bibles on this topic. Maybe you'll get a better opinion on this... I don't know which bibles in particular, but I guess you could start with #60. I'm interested in what your definition of a sellout is. Be careful though because Bloodboy, NINcompoop, and C. Vomit live within walking distance of your house!!!! I'd consider them my Astro-Zombies (if you get that reference). To Andychrist - My latest band is based in NoVirginia and we're currently planning our tour schedule before we hit the studio in late July/August. If you really need a band or whatever, get in touch with me and I'll see what we can do. Do you own a club or something? Your message was too brief for me to pick out exactly what you were talking about. To the aforementioned NINcompoop and Bloodboy - Let's do this. You two jump in the squared circle, Bloodboy gets to wear the mask and the cape, NINcompoop gets to paint his face and wear the arm tassles. We make a pay-per-view out of it! NINcompoop can have sasquatch in his corner and Bloodboy can have the Dryheaves in his corner. Yeah, that's the ticket! Anyways, I've said enough.

My name is Dave and I am a midshipman at the US Naval Academy. I have only been interested in Danzig and Samhain for a little while( got hooked on Danzig at their show in Cincinnati, OH), but I definitely love the music. I have only gotten into the Misfits in the last few months, but I have gotten hooked on them too. I love all kinds of metal music. I'm a rugby player and I use Danzig songs for pre-game inspiration like "Going Down To Die" and "I Don't Mind The Pain". What a way to get fired up. Well enough about me. A few comments: I too have the "Demon Danz" bootleg and I highly recommend it to everyone. The sound quality is good and the little extras that are provided are great too (i.e. guitar solo and intro and the Misfits songs). I was wondering if anyone knew where it might be possible to get my hands on a larger copy of the covers of Danzig III and "Black Aria"? And in response to the question about artists being on the list, count me in. I am almost completely self-taught and I was being urged by an artist friend of mine to apply to an art school, but I decided I wanted to come here. I work mainly in just inks and graphite, but occasionally oils and pastels. Well, that is all for now...hope I didn't put anyone to sleep.

Greetings everyone! I've got a couple of questions for all you Misfits-wise guys (and gals)- 1.) I remember in a past bible that someone said something about a song that Glenn wrote for Danzig 4p, but wasn't released (something w/ "white devil" or something in the title. Anybody know anything about this song? 2.) I was curious about that unreleased "Static Age" album. I guess since it IS unreleased that sort of limits what actually is known about, but if someone does know about it, please share. 3.) Anybody happen to have an extra copy of the gold Earth AD album just lying around somewhere? Or if you know where I could get one, I'd appreciate it. 4.) Is Glenn's song on the Less Than Zero soundtrack worth buying the album for? 5.) Has anybody heard anything lately about the Samhain boxed set? Just a couple comments (bear with me)- 1.) Another Misfit sighting- In my psychology book there's a picture of a bunch of punkers standing on a street corner. One guy is wearing a Legacy of Brutality T-shirt, with the Misfits logo in green letters. I had a shirt like it, but it had red lettering on it (I'm sure you all will sleep better now knowing that). Anyway, the article that the picture was by was about mentally troubled and angry youth. 2.) I, too, think it would be awesome if Glenn re-recorded some classic Misfits stuff. But don't you think it would put Glenn in an awkward position if that album sold better than any Danzig stuff? That might be a far stretch, but it could happen. And with so many people that love to label him as a "sell out", I'm sure they wouldn't miss this chance. Of course it won't make any difference to Glenn- as long as he still gets his "fair" share of the $$$. Well, I'd better stop blowing hot air for now. Hope you all enjoyed my senseless drivel. Please direct all flamings to x85205c1@usma2.usma.edu or write and ask for my mailing address if you want to send me money or gifts. Till next time...

Talked to Eerie backstage and he gave me his address and he sold me a copy of Rosemarys Babies for $25!!!!! Glenn was super cool!!!!!! I asked him when the Sanhain boxset was coming out and he said he was taking time out this summer to complete it! He said Steve Zing just gave him a shitload of photos for the set. John was really nice. I asked him about his solo project and he replied "as soon as i get a band together it will be done." He also added it will be really diffrent from Danzig!! The show was really great. The crowd sucked!!!! But Glenn and Eerie and John were really nice and sighned my Limited Edition "How the Gods Kill" CD and talked to me about everything. Joey was a dick!! he never talked to anyone! And he ran out the back door to escape all 10 of us who sat outside and froze our asses off just to meet the band!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------ From: ewebb@yorkcol.edu Date: Wed, 12 Apr 1995 00:12:24 EST Subject: Eerie Fiends, I'm new to the list and this is my first post. I just read the last couple issues and im amazed how great they are. first of all, i have seen a MISFIT sighting that blew my mind (hold onto your skulls)... it was on "saved by the bell" I know..."what in the hell were you doing watching that?" BUT, they has a big crimson ghst on the wall, much like the evillive poster. The real reason i wanted to post was thios: EERIE. I talked with him in november of 1994 and he said his back was a mess. He has to wear a brace all the time and has a special one just for stage. It sounds to me like our favorite drummer from Rosemary's Babies may be on his last legs?!!

In it, both Rob and J. are wearing Samhain shirts (J. gets maximum points for wearing a non colour one!). In the accompanying interview I saw, Rob was asked "Which of your peers do you identify with?" to which he responded "Pantera, Marilyn Manson and Danzig". I'm glad he said this as I heard a load of rumours that after the two had played together, White Zombie fell out big time with Danzig... so it's cool to see two cool bands getting on together. Thanks to Yannis for putting Veronica Crenshaw right... not all English people suck. If I remember correctly, Ms Crenshaw based her judgement that we're all 'assholes' on the fact that some officials fucked up someone's immigration proceedure. Well, if we all based our views of nations on their officialdom, we'd all end up being assholes (from what I've heard US cops make ours look like anarchists). Also, every week MTV Europe's HB Ball says they're giving out the Danzig Euro tour dates... then never actually give them. Anyone know anything more, prrimarily are they playing the UK at all? One last point, the MTV HB Ball best video category includes 'Cantspeak'. What say we get everyone (plus friends) to vote for it. Crap visual effects aside, it'd be nice to see a decent band win for a change. I'm probably gonna piss everyone off with this, but I like to see what people like me are into... include your current playlists with postings (it's great to spot the 'obscurity' freaks!)...

Well, what I am talking about is track 6 on the Mudhoney album: "Superfuzz Bigmuff plus Early Singles." The track, "Halloween" is performed by Mudhoney, the song was originally relased January 1990 as the flipside to a split Mudhoney/Sonic Youth 45 (Sub Pop) Written by Sonic Youth. So, *yes*, it's a Sonic Youth song, what I meant that it was *Mudhoney's* version of the Sonic Youth song "Halloween," and if you play it really loud in the quiet part you can hear the actual recording of Misfit's "Halloween" playing in the background.

Anything > to do with Black Flag's rise above?? Of course you've heard of it. Indeed it's the Black Flag song from the Damaged LP on which Robo plays drums. The Misfits began playing it in concert when Robo joined the band. There are at least 2 bootlegs (10/29/83 and 3/20/83) in which they play this tune. You can also hear Doyle do the guitar for the beginning of the tune towards the end of the Al's Bar 4/17/82 show. The song, like most songs the Misfits covered (and there were 4-5, including one on the new album !#$!@@!) was NEVER recorded in the studio. In other news, New Jersey fiends, WAKE UP!!!!!! The Misfits (Jerry and Doyle) will be doing a radio show at Upsula College in South Orange, NJ. Tune in to WFMU for the first Misfits radio interview in many many years. And tape the show so we all can hear it. They will be "leaking" several of the songs off the upcoming live album.... This will happen this Friday the 14th.

(i think) that i saw in tower records while in london. by the way i am a he, not a she but no big deal. as for good places to pick up misfits shit in london i found that a place called "metal shop" on carnaby street had some cool shit. that was the best place that i saw misfits shit. tower records did not have much except for the standard shit. the NOFX video i saw was something about 10 years and something or some shit like that. it just came out as far as i have seen so i have not seen it nor do i care to at this point in time. i do not mean to go off the subject of the misfits stuff but i was wondering if there were any pogues fans on the bible because i am looking for some early shane macgowan shit when he was in a band called the nipple erectors later changed to the nips (british punk). also if anyone has live pogues shit i would really be interested in it. sorry to get off the subject but i have been searching everywhere for it. have any of you ever seen the perfessionally recorded unreleased flipside video of the misfits in boston? that is some great quality if you can get a good copy of it. as for one final misfits conection i would like to point out how fucking funny the movie die, die my darling is. thanx again angelfuck (d. sprog) (daniel=he) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Apr 95 18:56:23 EST From: G Subject: Louisville Babylon I have heard the Louisville Babylon thing, and I abhor it!!!! It is horrible. It sounds like the Cure + Techno + Depeche Mode. What a disappointment!! I am not trying to judge for everyone, I realize this is just my opinion. I just wanted to warn everyone, just in case. I don't know what everyone knows about the Louisville scene, but it is strictly hardcore. That's why I was so disappointed, most of the songs have drum tracks and synths on them. They could be used for dance music at some techno club! I didn't even recognize some of the songs. If you like this kind of music, that's cool, I totally understand, I am not putting it down. I just wanted to try and offer a description for anyone interested in it. If you have any questions, please e-mail me. Thanks for your time, G. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Apr 1995 20:11:18 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: IT WORKED! Hello Fiends, Once again, I chucked out the bait and you guys pounced on it like a pack of hellhounds. Good deal. I was a bit disappointed that the only people to object to the re-recording of old Misfits songs were T. Crenshaw and Flex. I figured there'd be more. Oh well. To be honest, no, I really don't want a 48-channel "Last Caress." I just want to see what would happen if Glenn, Jerry, and Doyle actually DID get together. I think Tim's got me all wrong - I AM a true Misfits fan. That's why I'm taping all of these cassettes for people I don't even know. That's why I sported a devil-lock back in seventh grade. THAT'S WHY I WANT THE "ORIGINAL" MISFITS TO GET BACK TOGETHER AND POUND OUT SOME NEW TRACKS. Who wouldn't want to hear what these guys sound like together NOW? The reason I suggested that they should do the old songs is because I'm sure that Glenn wouldn't want to give the energy into writing new songs for a side project. But I was really thinking of something else that I couldn't put in the letter to him. You see, my dad is a huge Eagles fan (bear with this). Now, when the Eagles got back together last summer, they had intended on just re-recording the old shit and then going on tour. BUT - something happened. At the very first practice these guys had, THEY WROTE TWO NEW SONGS after just jamming with each other. This is what I am hoping to happen to Glenn and Jerry! Got it now? We would get some new songs plus some better quality versions of the old songs. Come on Tim, admit it - you WANT them to get back together, don't you? It's okay - just admit it. If not, maybe you're the one who's not a true Misfits fan! OOH!! AAH OH! POPPIN' FRESH DOUGH, SUCKER!! Just kidding, man - I'm just clarifying my intentions, that's all. And you have to admit - a lot of the songs sound like they were recorded in a wind tunnel. Okay....well, to everybody who wants American's e-mail and snail mail addresses, I will check them and post them later in this here issue, okay? One more thing, recently here at PSU, we had this huge used book sale. For those of you interested in Misfits-related (somewhat) stuff, you may want to check out "The Mystery of the Crimson Ghost." Fuck - I forgot the author's name. I'll post it along with the American addresses. Sorry. Anyway, I haven't read it yet, but I'll be sure to type up a book report for you all when I do. That book sale was really cool, you pay $4.00 and get to take home a grocery bag full of books. For all of you Smashing Pumpkins fans (hello....anyone?), I picked up a 1938 copy of "Way Down East." This is the book/film that Billy drew A LOT of influence from. In fact, "Gish" comes from the actress Lillian Gish, who starred in the movie. Other books I stuck in my bag included the Fonz's biography, the Harlem Globetrotters, the Tron activity book, the story of Sesame Street, some Rex Miller stuff, and tons of 50's style books on rockets, UFOs, skulls, puberty ("The Story of You"), and this kooky, old horror story titled The Bat Wing. Those 50's style books have great pictures that remind me of old Misfits art (that's why I buy them). Okay, I'll put up the author's name and those addresses soon. -Brent E.

It happened about three years ago in Sacramento, my home town, and was on the news; it is also pretty sick. OK, some people vandalized a graveyard around town and painted the wings of an angel statue black and wrote the Misfits logo underneath it; they also broke into a crypt and stole the head of a corpse. I remember getting a little panicky about it because my mom used to get on my case about the bands I listened to and I didn't want her to associate the Misfits with graverobbers. She didn't say anything about it and I really don't think she realized it. Oh well, that's my stupid little story. Bye.

Static Age LP. Recorded 1/78. 17 songs - Static Age * TV Casualty * Hybrid Moments * Come Back * Some Kinda Hate * Theme For A Jackal * Angelfuck She (these are what the Legacy versions should have been) Bullet * We ARe 138 Hollywood BAbylon * Attitude (those 4 from the Bullet EP) * Last Caress Return Of The Fly (finally, a perfect officially released version of one of the best songs they ever did) * Teenagers From Mars (original version, much better than the Horror Business 7") * Children In Heat (nobody's ever heard this version - Franche on guitar instead of Bobby) * Spinal Remains (probably - apparently when the recording was made the tape was damaged and in '85 when Glenn released Legacy, he made up new lyrics, the original name was "Feline Nursery") I smell this one coming. This will be the greatest album of all time released only 17+ years too late. As far as I'm concerned, those are the best songs they ever did, everything else was great, but not like this stuff. Currently all but the unreleased version of Children are out there floating around on demos or bootlegs, but it will be nice to hear them the way they were intended to be heard. > 4.)

I could probably find the magazine and find out why, if somebody is interested. Speaking of Samhain, I didn't like it before, but inspired by the list a gave it another try. I borrowed Final Descent from a friend, and IMHO it sucked. Is there any Samhain album that is musically closer to Misfits kind of music or should I just forget the band?

I have met Glenn and he is very respectful. My only question is this, How can a man be labled an asshole by sticking to the powerful theme of following his own rules. Most of the people in the world today take what they are given, I myself take more than that because you only get what you settle for. Im not to interested in coments of this because I know who I am, do you...

The bible is packed full of shit I never new. Before the bible I maybe knew about five misfit albums but now I know them all. I think that up here in the good ole great white north especially where I live, there is hardly any rare misfits to be purchased and that really fucking sucks. how come danzig isn't coming to Cananda? Is he fucking afraid of the year long blizzards? hopefully when the fits get back together they will have the balls to come up here to the east coast. Some people cannot afford to make cross country treks to see bands. Lastly before i go would people please shut up about the stupid Metallica sightings. It's cool every now and again but it's getting ridiculous. Who cares about a misfits sticker on Cliff's bed seen in the background of a MTV commercial. well I vented enough anger so please respond with your flames quickly cause I'm leaving for home soon.Oh yeah Hellbent is a preppy geek who doesn't know sit!

Does anyone have a copy of that show WITH Reagan Youth? And in my eyes, Danzig could still be Danzig if he was just playing with a sequencer on stage. I don't know how good it would be, but it sure is hard to tell that the same band did 4p and Danzig I. They sound nothing alike MY playlist, man.

My name is Scott and this is my first time writing. Actually this is my first time even on the net and I typed Misfits and got really jacked when all this stuff came up (now I can figure out most of the words I've never understood). Anyway, I go to the U of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana if there are any fellow fans out there--god knows I can never find anyone to talk to about Glenn and the Misfits out here in f'in "pearl jam and smashing pumpkins land". Now to get down to business, and excuse me if this is long-winded. I have had tons of questions about this stuff forever and no one to ask about. I only had time to read #72 and #73, so just tell me to shut up if a lot of this stuff is repeats--I promise I will read up asap. 1) I was in San Diego a month back and found a cd at Taang's called "Beware and the Rest". I had never seen it before and got totally excited--paid 30 bones for it. It has totally black and white cover, and on the side it says "the misfit" without the "s". Did I get dogged into paying this much? 2) Wanted to say I agree totally with Tim Crenshaw about Glenn not re-recording w/ doyle and jerry, and also about not improving the quality of the current stuff. That's what makes it vintage, man. Do I really want to be able to understand what Glenn is saying? No offense to Brent--seems like you're a bigwig around these parts. 3) Whoever has evilive, does anyone else get a rise out of how many times glenn (or jerry--sorry if I am wrong) says "1-2-3-4" or "1-2" at the intro to each song? It's like, "oh shit, cant think of anything else to say--1-2!" 4) The misfits mailing address in jersey (po box 310...)--Is this old or new misfits? 5) I am not starting shit, and i am not calling glenn or henry sellouts, but you can't deny that glenn has progressively mellowed since the misfits, even since D1 and D2. I mean it seems to happen to everyone--look at Metallica. 6) How the hell do you guys get backstage and whatnot at shows? Saw Glenn in Chicago last december and tried to get backstage and just got denied like a champ...for the record was an awesome show--lost a considerable amount of blood in the pit. Kinda disappointed glenn didnt join us. I was really mad that the show was sponsored by Q101--this poser alternative rock station. Basically, much of the crowd was just a lot of people dressed up waiting to hear mother. 7) Any info on where to actually find Earth AD or other stuff--keep it coming. I appreciate it. Anyway, I'm on my way. Sorry if y'all are sleeping out there--first time, ya know? Just wanted to say you guys seem pretty f'in cool. It's really hard out here to find anyone who listens to danzig, samhain, or the misfits shit. I mean there are the posers, all the MTV "mother" people, but most of 'em suck cuz that is as deep as it goes for them. I'll do my best to catch up on other issues so I know what to ask next time. I will leave with a quote (seems the trendy thing to do). One night me and some guys were hanging out and drinking (sans women) and listening to Astro Zombies. One of my friends said "what are the words to this man, I can't understand 'em." Some other guy piped up and with this wicked expression on his face said, "they're whatever you want 'em to be." I've always wondered if glenn knew what he was singin half the time. Anyway, it's been my motto ever since. Hope ya liked it. Until later, keep the stuff coming...

Now I don't give a fuck if it's gold or not, I would REALLY like to have a copy of this CD. Just for the simple fact that I don't feel like buying each of those individually on tapes, which seem to be readily available around here. If anyone knows of a place (mail order or otherwise) that carries this Earth AD/ Evilive CD, please email me and let me know. Also, WHEN is the Static Age LP going to be released, if ever? btw the only other time I've ever seen Earth AD on CD is that gold one. -- Lord Valgamon 800-241-7337 ext. 1673# ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Apr 1995 12:42:32 -0400 From: Lord Valgamon Subject: The NOFX video In response to Angelfuck's mention of the NOFX "10 years" video... It is called "Ten Years of Fuckin' Up." It was filmed by Tribal Video, Alex Yeung and Aron Hershkowitz. Edited by Alex Yeung, cover photo by Lisa Johnson. It is Fat Wreck Chords catalog item #FAT590-3. It contains video footage (live, self-produced and otherwise) of the followings songs: Stickin in my eye, Johnny B. goode, green corn, shut up already, shower days, gonoherpa syphilaids, straight edge, s/m airlines, six pack girls, the longest line, buggley eyes, beer bong, leave it alone, jaundiced eye, johnny appleseed, moron brothers, iron man (black sabbath cover), bob, kill all the white man, and "a lot of other cool shit," according to the back cover. I would highly recommend this video to any NOFX fan, or even just fans of that "Jawbreaker" sound, because it's quite lengthy, with quality video (for the most part) and is very well done, not to mention the price (about ten bucks). -- Lord Valgamon 800-241-7337 ext. 1673# ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Apr 1995 11:22:51 -0700 From: "Ricky Hinojos" Subject: Guitar mags and tuning Guitar mags and tuning 4/18/95 Gabriel Palczewski wrote: Also you need to include the Order No. Here are the numbers...

Two Pantera transcriptions were said to be tuned to D, when in fact the recordings are in Db. "It doesn't matter..."

Cya Del James ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Apr 1995 15:47:24 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: ... Hello Fiends, I guess I'm writing to say hello to all these new fiends who've been writing lately. My best advice to you all would be to start reading the back issues - it prevents clutter and repitition (something we vets have fought tooth and nail over so many times). Also, I have to agree that the sightings stuff is getting boring - EXCEPT for the one about the cemetary, that was at least interesting. From now on, maybe you should either check the back issues before posting a sighting, or just ask yourself if it's funny or interesting (i.e. Mother Theresa sporting a Misfits/Necros Tee). Here's some more responses... Yes, that is Jerry shouting 1-2-3-4 before all of the songs on Evilive (and every other live recording). I told you - Jerry's the backbone for the live shows!! Also, about Glenn mellowing out...uh, yeah - it happens! I think what happens is that you grow older and one day realize that a whisper can be more menacing than a scream. That's the secret to NIN's success, at least. Plus, when you're younger, there is more energy and drive to jump all over the place, etc. It's just one of life's natural processes...you get old, you get mellow. Otherwise you look like a fucking fool (Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler...). Also, to everyone who's opposed to the re-recording of Misfits songs - NOBODY IS GOING TO MARCH INTO YOUR HOUSE AND STEAL YOUR "VINTAGE" COPIES!! If you want to listen to the old, rough stuff - you still can. I know I would/will. I just want to see Glenn, Jerry, and Doyle get together more as an EXPERIMENT to see what would happen than anything else. The song thing is just an excuse for this meeting to happen. And finally - CRIMSON GHOST WHERE ARE YOU????

Why is it that nobody ever posts anything to the newsgroup alt.music.danzig? Now, I'm not saying that is it the resposibility of the Misfits group to write anything there, but obviously a lot of you are Danzig fans as well. Now, I'm sure there are many other followers out there who aren't on the Bible list, so where the hell are they? Maybe it's just me. One week. Utica, NY! Yeah, warm feet.

Eerie told me at a show outside of Michael's 8Th Ave. in Batimore that the reason a Danzig III home video didn't come out was the Mother video was too damn expensive to produce. It seems like Danzig only has so much cash to do so many things. I wonder how much cantspeak put them back. also, i asked jchrist why he did the tracks on the initium cd and he said when he joined the band there was basically no $ to do anything. Glenn rerelased initium to get some $. I don't think there is anything wrong with $.

He was interested in knowing a little more about the bible. As for relevant info here's some of it. Devil's Plaything is now on the playlist for the rest of the tour. He hinted that old Samhain and Misfits stuff might be played toward the end of this US tour. For the guitar players out there, he said that the first two albums were played with standard tuning and the last two were down a 1/2 step. (you may already know this). The Samhaim album is slated for fall/winter release. Glenn is taking time after the end of the tour to finish it. And this may qualify as a sighting, or maybe as a hearing, on the academy awards when they cut to the commercial before the award for best director they played two of John's promo pieces of music. He said he was stoked. And if you see any ABC TV shows that are scored by RichBich , thats Jo hn's work. And lastly there is a Cd called Guitar Practicing Music Vol. 3 that has a song by John called "For Christ Sake". If you are interested pick it up. Thats about all for now. Hope I haven't bored ya with any old information.

No, I don't want to hear what they would sound like if they got back togethor. Listen to Glenn's voice from Danzig III on, he can't yell anymore, he just warbles when he pushes his voice and personally, I can't stand it. Plus, how are a couple of Born Agains gonna be doing the whole evil' horror thing? The entire idea is ridiculous. The Misifits flame burned, and it burned bright, but I think the candle is out and you shouldn't try to light the wax at the bottom of the dish.

(we went a bit crazy) anyway that would be cool. as for the misfits getting back together with glenn --FUCK THAT. if glenn was to get back with them it would be called glenn danzig with the misfits and it would suck because all of those trendie fucking mother fans would show up and ruin the show. fuck danzig when it comes to the misfits. he makes good music but i do not think that he is needed for this reunion to happen. one last thing -- dark vorlok -- how tuff are you. i have an idea for you (it comes from antonio montana in scarface) "why don't you try sticking your head up your ass and see if it fits." i really do not care to read about you mastubating all over yourself. i hope i am not the only one. if you have stuff to say that is cool, fine. but i do not need a lecture from you about how you are an individual. i think that practically everyone on here is cool and has thier shit together when it comes to the being an individual or they would not be this into the fits and all that other punk shit. if you want to throw shit like that around, try the fucking pearl jam home page. thanx again angelfuck ------------------------------ From: Evilive@aol.com Date: Wed, 19 Apr 1995 20:39:38 -0400 Subject: Jerry and Doyle Hey I'm seeing Danzig in Redbank, NJ on April 26.

Got in early and headed first for the signing Glenn was doing at the comic store "The Laughing Ogre"; got there about half an hour early & it wasn't terribly crowded. Got a chance to talk to him & gave him copies of the FAQ's I'd written for alt.music.danzig (also posted to Mark's web page) - I begged him to please check them over for me & if there are ANY errors to PLEASE let me know so I could correct them. Unfortunately he's not real interested in going online as he's got a very low opinion of the net and the folks on it. He thinks that people on the net need to go out & have fun & get a real life ("But Glenn, I don't have a life when you're not on the road" That got a good laugh out of him) He said he had checked out American's web page one day when he was over at their offices. >From the signing we went to the venue to get in the front of the line. The show was sold out & the line quickly grew - the funny thing to watch were the various Manson's sneaking by and watching the line - Daisy went around the block three times without being noticed by the rest of the line; I waved to him, not wanting to draw attention to him lest he get bothered & I got a slight smile in return. Got in & grabbed front row center spots. endured Korn; I thought they were pretty pathetic. Marilyn Manson were BRILLIANT! I'd say of the 6 times I've seen 'em it was their 2nd best show. (Got to see, uh, quite a lot of Mr. Manson and Twiggy!) And last but not least came Danzig. Am SOOOOO happy they played "Devil's Plaything" to hear again as it's been several years since I heard them do it live. Glenn was wearing one of the Kaluta yin/yang pendants they are selling at the shows & he took it off & tossed it to me & I was thrilled. (Matches my tat!) Good to hear "Cantspeak" and "I don't Mind the Pain" played live as I hadn't heard them live before. Afterwards we went & hung out by the bus. Went up to Glenn & thanked him for the pendant & said "and you didn't even know it was my birthday" & he said "it's your birthday?" an I said, "well, if it's after midnight it is" & he grinned. I told him I'd called in sick to come since I'd booked all my vacation time for the last 12 shows & he laughed & said he used to call in sick to work so he could sit around the house & watch TV & I told him I didn't have enough days to watch TV since I was always going somewhere & he laughed. People behind were waiting for signatures so Dennis asked if we would mind waiting for him to finish the autographs for people waiting so we said no prob (like I'd say, oh I gotta go) & waited & then hung out & talked to Glenn for like another hour until Dennis broke it up so he could get them out of there (otherwise Glenn & I would probably STILL be rattling on.....) But I told him I'd see him next in Wilkes Barre ("so what's Wilkes Barre like?" he asks me, assuming correctly that I'll know and I tell him its a grimy little industrial steel town. "we sell shitloads of records there. Somebody told me not to drink the water there". I told him the place they are playing sounds like a theater that books operas & stuff & has seats & expects everybody to sit down. He just laughed & said "that's not gonna happen". I doubt it will! Mostly we just rattled about comics and Verotik. He's definitely getting both Simon Bisley AND Go Nagai for the San Diego comic con so I told him I'd see him there! That will be amazing - they are two of my absolute heroes & among the few that I've never had a chance to meet. It will be Bisley's FIRST American con! More Verotik projects: they'll be doing a Vampire Hunter D series! I am so excited it about this and will be new stories, not just an adaptation of the video. Also they'll be adapting Nancy Collin's Sonja Blue vampire novels serialized in comic form ("Sunglasses After Dark", "In the Blood" etc) The new Verotik shirt is a REALLY cool painting by Martin Edmond - I hadn't heard of him before but Glenn told me he'd done the Lobo/Deadman crossover & some other Lobo books so I'll have to go pick them up. This design is incredible with all sorts of weird stuff worked into it you have to hunt to find. They've now got him signed to work exclusively for Verotik; think this shirt will be the cover of Verotika #4. Also they'll be doing a line of kits; Max Factory's been hired to do a series of large soft vinyl ones of Dalkiel, Satanika & uh, I forget her name (starts with an "E") but she's a demoness hell bitch assassin that Dalkiel sends out to kill Satanika except she fails him & of course Dalkiel is way pissed off. She sounds like she'll be a way cool character design with lots of piercings running down her stomach, big ornamental breastplates; real modern primitive demoness kinda thang. He is also thinking of doing some little super deformed kits. Also Volks will be advertising in the Devilman books for their model kits you can order from Japan. (And they'll be doing a special Devilman book EXCLUSIVELY for the San Diego comic con for Go Nagai and Glenn to sign) Jaguar God sounds like it will be really wild; he says that issue #2 breaks every taboo known, well almost, they drew the line at the roasted child & went for somebody eating a roasted arm instead, even though according to Glenn there IS some sort of South American custom that he claim s is still practiced in some back woods that when a new neighbor moves into an area he is presented with a roasted baby for luck. (Is he pulling my leg?) Anyway, it sounds sick, one of the characters is definitely into the Elizabeth Bathory let's bath in blood kinda scene. Frazetta's done three new paintings for jaguar God covers! Verotika has an adaptation of Nancy Collin's "Demon Lover" story from the "Hotter Blood" anthology coming up illustrated by Esteban Moroto, as well as a Jae Lee story. He's also starting up a new record label, (Plan 9 will be no more) which will be called "Evilive". Not going for distribution through Caroline, maybe through Interscope. No bands signed yet but he's looking into a few, also the Samhian box set will come out through that. Uh... can't remember much else as my brain is pretty fried. Going back on the road in a week and a half and then I'll be traveling to twelve straight shows (all from Wilkes Barre to the end in Orlando) so more stories & news to follow! - EVB ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Apr 1995 13:09:39 -0400 From: bloodboy Subject: Dark Vorlok Wow, man, you're like, so cool!

EVB, Crimson Ghost, and I do post occasionally to that newsgroup, but most of the people there, just like on the Danzig mailing list are content to just call each other names and spread ridiculous rumors. I have very little interest in any of that, in fact this mailing list was created to combat that kind of trash. I check it every day or so to make sure I don't miss anything important, but in general I find the only thing that attracts me to it is its name.

Kryst the Conqueror had religious influence (and there was a hell of a lot - all 13 songs have some reference to that kind of stuff) because they wanted to combat Glenn's "evil" and sort of anti-christ music. I don't think you have to worry about them acting like Stryper. They're the same guys they always were. That candle was perfectly usable but Glenn put it out before it was finished. Maybe now we can get to the bottom of the dish.

I think the idea of bands covering misfits songs is a good idea. My band does in dustrial music, but I've sampled lots of misfits stuff. A few drum beats, a 1 2 3 4!, and quite a few Wooooooah oooooooh oooh oooooooh.....'s.... probably doesn 't qualify as misfits covers. To the person enquiring about a Devilock: yeah, it's just long bangs in front of your face. I've got my third, personally..

I think the reason Glenn doesn't yell like he used to, Andrew, is because he doesn't want to. If Glenn got back with the fits I think he could do it...he's not THAT old. Yes, I think they should get back, even if not permanent... Here's something... Black Sabbath wasn't really Sabbath anymore after Ozzy was gone were they?

Fuck, that pisses me...people in NJ can see 'em, but not me..(if it's true) As to the whole Danzig-mellow thing: I like it. For the music being played it's cool...I don't like, however, when he screams wierd like Kermit the Frog...

In response to Lord Valgamon-- If anyone else knows where to get the Earth AD/Evilive thing I am definitely in the market also. Any info is appreciated. I am mad at myself cuz over Christmas I was looking in that big yellow book in the record stores with like every record ever made or something, and I saw something with Earth AD/Die die die my darling and something else. I was gonna send away for it and I never got the time when I returned to school. Kinda kicking myself for it now. On that note, has anyone ever looked under Danzig in there? Among other things, it says there is an album by "Glen Danzig and the Power and Fury Orchestra". Could this be our Glenn? Let me know. Angelfuck-- Thanks for the uprising speech about Dark vorlok or whoever the hell he is. We're with ya, man. Gabriel and Greg-- About the devilock, it is something from Danzig. I have this old copy of THRASHER magazine circa 86 with Glenn on the cover (anyone seen it?). In the interview he says he just started wearing his hair that way when it started to get long, and one of the guy's moms in the band (Jerry?) said it looked like a devil's lock and the name just stuck from there. I haven't read it in awhile so I will check it out and give more info if there is any. BTW, the interview was neat, talked a lot about the 'fits, the music and what happened; also a great deal about Samhain. Sorry if this is old news. Mark-- About "Beware and the Rest": Hell ya, it's worth it. The version of She on it is the best I have ever heard (only heard the ones on Legacy and the collection)--it's really eerie. Do you know where the other songs came from that weren't on the original "Beware" 12"? Hope you're not asleep out there in 'fit land.

Greetings Fiends, Well, something kinda nifty happened me today, and while it's a little off the normal subject, I still thought I should share it with you... I was in a comic book store here in beatiful downtown Ann Arbor and decided to pick up some Faust comics for my friend (back home they are hard to find) when I ran into David Quinn. He signed my comics (yipee!) and I asked when Faust #11 was going to be released. He said he would find out next week (had to talk to Tim Vigil) and that he had been busy doing Danzig's comic, Satanika. I then inquired if the rumour was true that Danzig's company would be taking over Faust and he said that it was a possibility. I then asked if the rumour that Faust #1 was going to be done in color. After I asked that, he wanted to know where I heard these rumours (he wasn't pissed, just wanted to know how the heck I heard about it). Instead of going into a whole speel about the Misfit's Bible (sorry Mark) I told him that it was a Misfit's/Danzig fan deal on the internet. And that's how we started talking about Danzig. David Quinn said that Glenn Danzig would be doing a song about Faust or some other related material... So, be on the lookout kids, a new Danzig song in the works?

I just signed on a few days ago and I really think it's cool that there's still such a loyal following for the Misfits. I got in to Punk music in the early eighties and have tried to follow those same bands today. (Not many left :>) I got into the Misfits, I'll admit, for the way they looked. The music came in second. But I was 15 so it didn't matter what they sounded like! But I appreciate their music and even more so today with all these stupid "same sounding" grungy bands coming out today. Doyle is my fave.

To whoever asked, yup- "Gamma Gamma/We Accept you/We accept you/One of us" is a Ramones Quote (well, sort of) They got it from the 1930' movie called Freaks. Freaks is about circus freaks, and when they meet someone normal, they say that. the Ramones used it in "Pinhead", at the beginning they chant it. They later went on to use "Gamma Gamma Hey!!" as a live crowd-chant thing. Sorrry, I know it's the MISFITS bible, but I just had to explain it. Oh, yeah. Jerry goes "1 2 3 4" before the songs, did he pick it up off of the Ramones? This was one of the Ramones' trademarks from when they played their first time at CBGB's in '75 (I think it was '75, but maybe '74). Their bassist yelled "1 2 3 4!!!" after every song, and they kick into the next song right away. I think that making a compilation tape of bands covering MIsfits songs is a good idea. I am not in a band, but I am sort of the manager of one (If they'd ever get off their asses and practise), and the guitarist is a really big Misfits fan, too. He was saying about teaching the rest of them "London Dungeon", and if he could find TAB to Mommy..., he would like to do that one.

The creature walks among us 1956 (3rd in "black lagoon" movies) Devils Rain 1975 (Cpt.kirk and satanists. a line in All Hell.) Twins of evil 1972 (hammer vampire flick. also a line in All Hell/Jerry & Doyle) Green hell 1940 (typical jungle film, but it does have Vin. Price) Monster a go-go ? (Astronaught returns from space a monster Nike-like) Devil girl from mars 1954 (A vampira-meets the metropolis robot black leather alien looks for humans to mate with. teenagers tie in?) Honorable mention for these flicks. Vampira 1974 (british title of the English film Old Dracula) Queen Bee 1955 (a southern melodrama w/ Fay Wray.) Devil Dog the Hound of Hell 1975 (dog possed by the spirit of David Geffen, no thats not it, satan i mean.) Misc stuff: Mystery Science theater 3000 has had Monster a go-go on and is the best way to watch it i think. That line in Vampira about "...cemetary of the white love ghoul." Night of the Ghouls featured a "white" ghoul and a "black" ghoul running around a cemetary. It was long thought that Vampira was the black ghoul, but alas it's not her. I think Jon Pertwee who was dr. who #3 was in Twins of Evil. Daleks-invasion earth 2150 is a dr. who film,yeah,I know who cares? just thought i'd throw it out. Oh yeah NIght of the Ghouls is an Ed Wood film(dir.Plan 9) Im new to this list, but by god first thing monday I'm gonna send off for the comp. tape and take advantage of being on this list with fiends-Thanks. Also what kind of quality are you(tribute tape people) looking for? I think my band would like to contribute, but all we have now are boom box recordings, will hit a 16 trrack studio at the end of may to record.could belt out quality stuff then.

Actually, it turns outh that there was some African tribe that wore their hair like that, and they called it a devil lock" There ya go. From that issue I found out an interesting little note. Anyone know what glenn's personal favorite Misfits thing is? The night of the living dead 45. Close second and third are Walk Among Us and 3 hits from hell. By the way, after reading old bibles (I am doing the best I can while still trying to stay in school) i answered my own question about the Power and Fury orchestra. Just the name he used in the less than zero soundtrack, am i right? sorry about the repetition.

I recently bought a vid of Danzig live in Munich, Germany - 10/3/92, and they do Heart of the Devil for one of their encores. If you're interested, email me and maybe we can trade. As for Bodies, I think they do it on every vid I have for the How the Gods Kill tour!? I remember the one time I saw them, Glenn said that the song was "hard on his voice" before he sang it. If you've ever seen Danzig live for that tour, you must've seen it, too!

I have a really shitty quality boot of it. The SamHain page is pretty cool. Thanks for the bios on the band! Q101 does suck (that's to all of us IL people!) Bring back WVVX!!!! TO ALL, I've got a copy and I'm going to offer a tape of the Misfits radio interview. They have 2 songs from the Max's show played on there, and it's got some other stuff. About an hour long. If you want it e-mail CTernes@aol.com Now, since my income is so extremely limited (a few bucks a week) I would like to ask everyone who wants one for 3 bucks a tape.

Dave ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 12:32:02 -0400 (EDT) From: andrew r dixon Subject: stuff hello fiends, Brent- to clear things up let me tell you about what i am up to. our band, bloodbeat, is located north of baltimore. we have just recently gotten together but have been in the punk scene for a while now. basically we sound like the germs because our musicianship is not all that great but our heart and energy is there and we do what we want. we want to direct our band in a minor threat/sick of it all area, but until we get tighter it wont be too easy. i do not own a club, but i have connections with a couple of places that have shows.let me know when you guys will be playing around here. i agree with whoever said all those trendy people would show up with a glenn fronted misfits. that would suck. but at least you could just move them out of the way and see the 'fits. my playlist now is- madball - set it off germs - discography downset next step up - intent to kill (baltimore style hardcore, check them out if you can, they are heavy. e.p. is at reptillian in fells point & shows) -andychrist ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 13:19:39 -0400 From: She Subject: Misfits Mission 2 Okay fiends, here's my story. Friday we left Charlottesville VA at about 12:30 and due to traffic and other horrible things, we didn't get to the NJ Horror Convention until 9:15. However, this was not a problem because we got in for free and Jerry was really happy to see us. He tossed my brother and I (since he knew us) free shirts and told us to put them on to promote the event. I was wearing a Misfits shirt already, but figured I'd listen to him. The shirts are supposed to cost $25 but they were free for us, luckily, since I had no $$. Anyway, let me describe them. One is for the Max's X-mas live album that I'll talk about later. It's got the Crimson Ghost in a santa claus outfit holding a bag of christmas presents. Really the only thing different about this crimson ghost is the Santa Claus hat, since he was already wearing a crimson colored robe. However, the bones on his skeleton gloves are also crimson colored. The other shirt was for the new Crimson Ghost that they're using. Everyone's familiar with the old crimson ghost - white skull on black background. The new one is taken from the old Fiend Club 8.5 x 11 envelopes. He has eyes and a lot more detail on his face. It's actually taken from a picture of the crimson ghost, as opposed to somebody's artistic representation. The shirt itself has a huge skull and the Misfits logo across the top. Both shirts I've mentioned are double sided and the pictures are huge. The quality is great and I actually met the guy who did the Crimson Ghost one. At present there are only 200 of them. They had 2 tables, one with free Jerry posters (a lot of you have these already) and flyers and a container full of free crimson ghost guitar picks. Some of you probably have these too if you were ever members of the Doyle Fan Club back in '89. This table also had wall plaques of the Earth A.D./Wolfsblood LP and also of the "Evil Eye" picture from the back of the Die Die EP. These things were also high quality and quite expensive. The Earth AD plaque was reprinted from the original artwork done by Mad Marc Rude back in '83. They came unpainted, although the ones they had on the table were hand-painted by their friend John Grimm, AKA Johnny Favorite who several of us on this list know. On top of this was a 14" model of Jerry, selling at the special price of $125. This thing is a wonderfully detailed model of Jerry holding his bass standing on a crimson ghost skull baseplate. It's beautifully made and as of now only 10 have been made, one of which was purchased by a fiend I met through EVB named James Lair. Anyone know him? The other table had the shirts I mentioned above selling for $25 each. Behind the two tables was a massive graveyard scene created by the fiends with the help of John Grimm and several others. INcluded were headstones for John Grimm, France Coma, M. Rude, G. Germain (an old friend of the band), Doyle, Jerry Only, Sally B (Sal, the lead singer of Lodi band Sardonica who comes and sings with them from time to time), Chud (former Sardonica and current Misfits drummer), and a bunch of others that I can't remember. This grave scene was massive and somehow was able to emit some smoke-like substance. Directly in front of the graveyard was the cover of the new Max's X-mas album. It is really nice looking. It's a take-off of the cover of the Famous Monsters Of Filmland magazine. I don't know how much I should mention about it though, so you all can wait until you see it, IF Caroline ever puts it out. There weren't too many fiends there and conveniently I'd already met or corresponded with almost all of them. EVB was there of course, with her roommate Judy and James. Mike Stax who I finally got to meet looked like he came straight out of the Ramones. Doug Evil, who is currently designing the Misfits comic book (cool artwork there) was up there too. I got to see some of the comic book stuff, and it looked pretty interesting. To my surprise John Grimm was also there, looking like he was having the time of his life. Now... Jerry and Doyle were obviously there too. They were all dressed up in their old Misfits uniforms. They looked great. Jerry looked exactly as he does in the Jerry Only poster put out by the Doyle Fan Club, and it appeared that Doyle was wearing the outfit he wore at the 3/20/83 show in Boston. We took many pictures with the band. There was a sign that said "pictures with the Misfits, $5", but this was completely disregarded as we all used our rolls of film up. I talked to Doyle for awhile, and obviously to Jerry and here's some of the stuff I learned. I managed to learn a lot of stuff about the future, but unfortunately (sorry Ryq) I didn't have the opportunity to turn him to the 70's time period. Here we go: No known release for the Static Age LP or the Maxs X-mas LP. He hasn't heard from Caroline yet, so he has no idea if they'll even approve a release. all Misfits albums will continue to be released on Caroline, but not Plan 9 obviously since that was Glenn's label. No longer though, since it doesn't exist anymore. Jerry plans to rerelease all the albums in new remixed forms, so hold on to whatever you have because it's all going out of print. I'm not too sure about what master tapes he has his hands on and what he's planning to do with them, but it sounds like Caroline has it all and will have the final word on what's released. Glenn also has to agree to releasing some of the stuff. Jerry's going to be playing a lot of rare stuff on the radio so we can hear it so... Pay attention to the radio NJ fiends!!! They've already been playing stuff off the Max's LP... Anyone remember the skateboard advertisement Glenn was putting out back in '86? Turns out that the skateboards were really made, although none ever reached anybody. Jerry and Doyle went over to Glenn's mom's house the other day and picked up a whole bunch of them. I have no idea what they're going to do with them, but it's interesting to know that they did exist. Also, about the riot show in April of '82. It turns out that Doyle did not intentionally hit the guy on the head. He was trying to hook his guitar around the guy (who was fighting with Googy and Rocky) and pull him towards the stage. Unfortunately, he ended up hitting him in the head. EVB is the lucky owner of this guitar and John Grimm has the strap, but that's old news. Misfits will be making several appearances in the near future. Here they are: 4/26 - Redbank, NJ - Yes they will be at the Danzig show in the audience near the 15th row. Be sure to go if you can, they'll be there to try to get a chance to talk to Glenn. 4/30 - Teaneck, NJ - KISS convention - Any KISS fans besides Evil Don and I? Jerry and Doyle will be there too. 5/6 - Paramus, NJ - MusicMan Records. This place is teh biggest rip-off in the world, but they get all kinds of Misfits, KISS and metal rarities. Lou Vomero (the owner) went to high school with the band. 5/20 - Comic Collectors Comic Shop - WAyne NJ 5/27 - American Legion Hall, Franklin NJ - This show was organzied by a guy on the mailing list (hey Stone) and features 6 bands. Jerry and Doyle will be hanging out there. In all those above cases, Jerry and Doyle will be availabe for signing stuff and in most cases they will have Misfits merchandise for sale too. About touring and all that - no lead singer yet, in fact they're waiting to hear from Glenn before they really even seriously start deciding on a singer. They know that Glenn is the ideal man for the job, so they're sort of waiting. Perhaps they'll learn on the 26th. Anyway, I was there for about 2 and a half hours and had the greatest time. I had a lot of fun talking with EVB and it was great to finally meet Mike Stax. For those of you who have Ugly Things #12 and #13, be on the lookout for #14. It won't have Misfits stuff in it, but it should be ou in the near future. He does hope to get to interview Franche and Mr. Jim eventually for a Static Age Era interview for #15 or another later issue. lots of typing, hope you enjoyed it. EVB stayed all 3 days, so she'll probably have an even better report.... mark ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 14:07:59 +0059 (EDT) From: DAVID R VICKERS Subject: Zombie, Samhain T Even if you don't think that White Zombie is a good band, I think any fiend should appreciate the fact that they are one of the only bands keeping the horror biz alive(music-wise as well as image-wise). BTW, can someone tell me what the sound is like on the Necronomicon boot? I would appreciate it. Dave V. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 14:57:54 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: WHOOPS!! Hello All, I screwed up. Damn! Well, for those of you who have received your "Hymns from Hell" tapes - there is one omission that I for some reason didn't include in the liner notes/track listings. Okay, I'm sure you have probably figured it out by now, but there are three songs between "Rat Fink" and "Last Caress" (off Beware 12") on side A that do not appear in on the track listings. The songs are "London Dungeon," "Horror Hotel," and "Ghouls Night Out." These songs are taken from a 7" titled "Three Hits From Hell." Now you know - problem solved (I think). Also, for those of you who want copies and have not sent in your orders yet for either the tape or the video - DO SO SOON!! Like I said earlier, I get back home on May 7. From there I am going to dub all the videos and the remaining audios (if any). The dubbing is going to be done on a somewhat continuous loop for about two weeks. After these two weeks, tour dates and studio dates really plug up my schedule/free time - so anything that comes in after say...May 17 might not get back to you until August or Septemberat the latest. In other words, if you send in requests, etc. AFTER May 17, then I cannot guarantee that you'll get your tapes within the two or three weeks that I promised before. Okay? Right now, things are flowing smoothly...only about five more audios to do. Hopefully the requests are finally leveling off... Thanks to everyone who has requested the tapes so far. I think that I'm getting them out fast enough (at least I try to ). If anyone has sent me an order for the audio and has been waiting for more than two weeks, please e-mail me because I seriously doubt I have received your order. Also, anyone who wants to check the progress on their individual tapes can email me as well - I'll provide you with info on whether it's done yet, when it's being shipped, the date it was shipped, blah, blah, blah... Looking forward to the radio transcripts... Brent E. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 19:56:11 EDT From: MR MIKE D MOLLURA Subject: Tribute: Let's get started -- [ From: Mike Mollura * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- I read about the tribute album in the last bible. Sounds like a great idea. I would be happy to receive the tapes, put the mix together, and distribute them. That is, of course, unless anyone has a problem with this or wants to do it themselves. If so, then by all means do it yourself. But, I figured since this would be a large task, no one would want to do it. So I figured, the quiker someone decides to do it, the quicker we have the tribute tape ready. So send any questions comments and Demos to: Mike Mollura 21 Golfview Lane Reading, PA 19606 If sending demos, include group name, song title(s), when and\or where recorded (if possible), and an address where I could reach you. Thanx. - MIKE ------------------------------ From: "Bouras, Elizabeth" Subject: Chiller theater..... Date: Mon, 24 Apr 95 12:04:00 edt Here I am again with yet another LONG post for Bible #76 (this will be the EVB issue., right?), but have more stories to tell! Made it up to the Chiller Theater Horror Convention Friday night & met up with Jerry & Doyle who had a HUGE display set up right in the lobby of the Meadowlands Hilton Hotel in Seacaucus NJ. My long time fiendly friend Jonathan Grimm had done much of the building on said set which featured a small crowded graveyard of tombs inscribed with the names of famous & infamous (including F. Coma, M. Rude, J. Grimm), towering columns topped by screaming gargoyles & an enormous gate from which belched forth the occasional puff of smoke from the hidden smoke machines. On display were some items from forthcoming Misfits projects - the awesome cover painting by Famous Monsters of Filmland cover artist Basil Gogos which will grace the forthcoming live Misfits album (recorded at Max's Kansas City in 1978) as well as some blown up pages from the comic they hope to put out. The comic was written by Ugly Things publisher Mike Stax (also in attendance at the con selling his zines!) and is based on the ideas in the songs rather than a biographical story. It's light hearted & corny & suitably psychotronic. The art is very cartoonish; the designs would look great animated IMHO. I also mnet the artist who drew it but forgot to write down his name (Bill from Pittsburgh is all I recall...) They had some new merchandise for sale - two new T shirt designs; one of the Crimson Ghost face & band logo (slightly new take on a traditional theme as it's a slightly diff version of CG than normally used before - I'd only seen this version once on an old Fiend Club mailing envelope) and a super one of the Basil Gogos Xmas cover painting. (Basil will be doing all of their album cover art which I think is HIGHLY appropriate! There is also a good chance they'll be getting some work from Boris Vallejo which I find pretty amusing being as Glenn's got Frazetta working for him!) They've also got two wall plaques (sculpted 3D versions of the Earth AD cover and the Pushead eyeball design from the back of "Die Die") for sale, and the coolest piece of merchandising, the Jerry Only kit! It's a resin garage kit of Jerry in a crouching pose grimacing menacingly and welding his skull topped base that sits on top a base shaped like the Crimson Ghost skull. It's an incredibly detailed piece & a good likeness sculpted by Bill Paquet who is well known to model collectors & builders. (I'd have to look up exactly what else he's done in my garage kit books but offhand I think he's done a lot of the kits for Lunar Models) Jerry himself sculpted the bass (appropriate being as he made the original one) & it's even strung with real guitar strings (off Doyle's guitar no less....) I think the coolest part of this kit is that it comes with about 140 scaled down metal spikes to appropriately finish the outfit. No detail has been left out! (Ya gotta watch how you pick it up though!) Next up will be a Doyle kit (they'd love to do one of Glenn some time if they could get his permission - if not I'll have to sculpt one for myself to round out the set) If anybody is interested in the kit you can order it through the mail - they were selling it for $125 at the show but I think that was a show special & it's $150 otherwise - best to write them (address at end of the bible) and check. IMHO it's about the coolest piece of memorabilia available. They had two on display, the nicer of which was painted up by J. Grimm & was entered in the Chiller Theater model contest where it garnered Honorable Mention against some tough competition by well known modelers. (Also on display in the model contest was one of the fantastic Vampira models by Thomas Kuntz!) Hung out quite a bit & heard lots of stories. Also got to meet Chud, their sometimes drummer who's a really cool guy & gave me a tape of a band he's been working with (he's got a recording studio & does a lot of producing). He's also been recording some blues tracks with Eerie Von & Danzig's soundman Rick Dittamo when they've been off the road - guess what, Eerie can SING! Gonna have to hear this!!! Anyway, Jerry & Doyle will also be doing some other appearances coming up so if anybody in Jersey wants to meet them, here's the list: Saturday April 30th - Kiss convention at Fairleigh Dickenson University, Teaneck, NJ; (201) 646-0817 Saturday May 6th - Musicman, Route 4, Paramus NJ (201) 646-0817 Saturday May 20th - Comic Collectors, Willowbrook Mall, Route 46, Wayne NJ (201) 843-4353 Saturday May 27th - Gasuten Productions, Franklin NJ (201) 827-7720 Had a TON of fun at the con - got to hang out some with Mark Kennedy who sadly was only up there Friday night (hiya Mark!!). Bought a ton of cool stuff including a really wild Japanese garage kit of Devilman by Yashushi Nirasawa (he does all the wild Creature Core & Phantom Core stuff in Hobby Japan). And of course ordered the Jerry model! Ran into a guy I'd met at the taping of the Danzig appearance on the Jon Stewart show a year ago & he showed me an utterly awesome backpiece he's getting tattooed of the "Black Aria" cover that is to die for. Got a pic of it as is & made him promise to send me a photo when the color is laid in as now it's all outlines. Even briefly ran into ex-Undead drummer Eddie Enzyme! (And nobody knows what's up with Bobby Steele!) I think that's all I remember right now, I'm sure more will float back! Comments/Retorts to Bible # 75 - =========================== Lord Valgamon - the Earth AD with Evilive is the German only release (now out of print) and it's DAMNED scarce. (The gold one is the US release w/o Evilive) Good luck finding it - your best bet would be to comb the pages of GOLDMINE magazine. That's how I got mine although it took about 4 years of intensive searching. Static Age is definitely coming, don't know when. I think the live album is due out first. Mike Westlake - Hey, I post to the newsgroup.... (have you seen the FAQ's I keep posting?) honestly do what I can to answer folk's questions & stop the idiotic rumors they keep starting too. Just often times I'm gone off on the road somewhere.... Mike McCusty - I was also at the Danzig 11.20.92 Cincinnati show at Bogart's and they most certainly DID NOT do "Girl" live there (or anywhere else for that matter) so you musta been on some good crack that night. (Did you give some to NINcompoop?) They also didn't play "Let it Be Captured" on the 18th in Columbus - maybe you are confusing it with "Cantspeak" which they did do? (Good to meet you there BTW!) NINcompoop- You're smoking Mikey's crack. I was at the March '94 show (you mean the Michael's 8th Ave one, right? That was the ONLY show they did that month) & they sure as hell didn't do "Lords of the left hand" which has never been done live & I don't remember hearing "Bodies" that night either. They seldom do that one since it tears up Glenn's voice real bad - I've only heard them do it 2 or 3 times. (I remember hearing it once on the Black Sabbath tour in Atlanta & the 2nd of the 2 shows they did on consecutive nights at the TLA in Philly on the How the Gods Kill tour) Heehhee- these phantom song sightings remind me of my friend Chris Carvalo. He swears up & down he heard Danzig play the Door's "Break On Through" in NYC which they didn't, but as much shit at Chris takes I have no doubt about him HEARING it. Too much acid..... Evilive - I told Jerry Only your rumor about Jerry & Doyle playing some Misfits shit with Glenn at the Red Bank show on the 26th & he thought that was pretty funny - needless to say it is NOT happening so the guy in the record store was sadly mistaken. Jerry & Doyle are going to the show to watch though - check the 15th row. Doubt they have any plans on talking to Glenn there though as they gave me a new Misfits shirt to pass on to him. Ewebb - regarding the videos & things: Danzig try & finance all their stuff themselves so they don't have to take advances and be in hock to the record company which in my opinion is a VERY good move. Hell, lots of bands blow huge advances & then get in serious financial shit. But it makes it very hard to finance something like a home video which is why they haven't done one lately. ols - the Gabba Gabba thing goes WAY back further than the Ramones. Check out Tod Browning's film FREAKS from around 1930, that's where the Ramones scarfed it from. Comments on 74: (missed a few so I'm working backwards!) =============== Midn David Grogan - RE: larger copy of the Black Aria cover. I told Glenn he should put out a limited edition print of it with him & Mike Kaluta signing it and he said it was something he's considering - hope hope!! There are promo posters floating out there of the Giger cover to How the gods Kill - I found one at a record convention, I've also seen them offered for sale through Goldmine. (The original uncensored version of "Miester & Marguerita" is in the book "H.R. Giger's Necronomicon". It was also used in the Giger tarot card set as the card for "The Lovers"!) Brent - I can't believe you are up to 50 tapes already! Jeez thanx for your dedication!! She - RE: unrecorded live tracks. I dunno about boot recordings, but I know some of those Danzig tunes have been played live. As I mentioned above to NINcompoop I've heard "Bodies" a few times. "Heart of the Devil" was used as an encore a number of times on the How the Gods Kill your - as long as I live I will never forget how awesome it sounded at Irvine Meadows on Halloween on 1992. Also they played "I'm the One" live once - in Germany the day Chuck broke his leg on the drum riser as they were stalling for some time & wanted to play something that didn't require drums (one of my friends in Germany was at that show) They've done "Anything" a few times but I'd have to check when. The others I don't think have been played live. (Man oh Man I would KILL to hear them do "Violet Fire"!) Bible #73: ======== Goat - the 4p digipack does exist as I've got one (I'm the one who posted that info the day I got it) I guess it's not in a lot of stores yet as they still have copies of the first version - no doubt they are trying to sell those first. The first version will prolly be collectible someday when there's enuff people looking for it who missed buying it when it came out (tho I can't imagine any real fans that would wait that long to buy the new album!) Gabriel Palczewski - I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to take offense to your comment "Glenn is an extreme asshole". Have you ever met the man? If not, what right do you have to say that about somebody you do not know. Glenn has been a friend of mine for nearly five years and I've never seen him be nothing but polite to people EXCEPT for the few idiots and assholes who gave him grief. So if you went up to him and acted like an idiot you deserved what you got. Sorry to flame folks but I do feel obligated to stick up for my friends! Brent - no women on this list? So what am I, chopped liver? Actually it's funny but I guess there are very few female collectors of stuff like this. Several times I've called folks about records for sale and have honestly been asked "is this for you or are you fronting for your boyfriend?" HUH? (Same goes for comic books....) J.Baldry - Don't believe the rumors that White Zombie fell out with Danzig - they are still VERY good friends! The various Zombies always show up whenever Danzig plays or does a signing in LA - a friend of mine who lives out there hung out with Sean at the Golden Apple signing Glenn did & also she and Rob were hanging with Glenn at the big Slayer party. And I do know that Rob & EV are tight! Haven't seen the More Human than Human vid yet but my roomies taped it for me last night after I'd crashed so I will tonight. Love love LOVE Astro Creep - can't wait for them to tour again! (Have seen WZ 11 times so far, looking for more!) Since you asked, my current playlist (what's in my car's CD changer) Danzig 4 How the Gods Kill Lucifuge Marilyn Manson - Portrait of an American Family Marilyn Manson - Lunchbox remix CD single w/ Down in the Park White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000 Ministry - Land of Rape & Honey Electric Hellfire Club - Burn Baby Burn NIN - Pretty Hate Machine Tool - Undertow (this is fun stuff on shuffle! Good driving music) ols - No, Glenn doesn't care much about the internet. He thinks we all need to get a life. He did see the stuff on American's page once when he was down at their offices but generally keeps away from it. Bible #72: ======== John Durham - Danzig & Rollins do NOT get together to work out. According to Glenn he hasn't spoken to Hank in years - no falling out or anything & he still thinks Henry's a real cool guy, they are just both super busy. Glenn does sometimes work out with John Christ though. Goat - Sorry I haven't written ya - have been SOOOO busy! Yes I AM going to Florida!! All 5 shows there (plus a buncha others) Hope you can make it down there - if you need any info like #'s for tickets or the clubs or addresses or anything please e-mail me! Tim Crenshaw - No Glenn doesn't read the bible though he knows it exists. Personally I'm just as glad he doesn't being as how many folks bitch about him. Hell, if I were him I wouldn't want to read that. DelJ - Welcome aboard! I picked up "The Language of Fear" as soon as it came out (I'm a MAJOR horror freak and collector) & thought it was one of the most intense collections of primarily non-supernatural horror I've ever read. Yeah, what can possibly happen in "real life" is a helluva lot more frightening than any ghosts or zombies. I'm remember all the while I was reading it all I could think was "man, I hope this guy doesn't write from experience". Any chance you'll be at the World Horror Con next spring? Anyway, keep it up! Think that about covers it, whoo, thanks for bearing with me as I'm kinda long winded today! - EVB (can't wait 'til Saturday - then TWELVE SHOWS IN A ROW!!!!) ------------------------------ From: ceng@smtp.spd.usace.army.mil Date: Mon, 24 Apr 95 10:46:49 PDT Subject: looking for earth ad hi, i am looking for an earth ad cd, i have a few things, misfits/samhain stuff i would be willing to trade for it. check out the web page, it unlocks the mystery of the earth ad lyrics. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Apr 1995 15:47:11 EDT From: MR JIM EVILIVE Subject: Jerry and Doyle: Radio Hey, I used to be on America Online, but those dicksucking, buttfucking, shiteating, shithead, motherfuckers, canceled my account. I used to be Evilive@aol.com, but now im DGTL73B@prodigy.com. I apology for the use of vulgarity but it was needed. Now that that is out of the way, ill tell you what Jerry and Doyle had to say on the radio on Thursday. They got the rights and shit to there name back. They are releasing a live album at Max's Kansas City, with a version of Blue Christmas on it. Has anyone heard of this song before? They have to meet with Caroline before the album will be released. They are also releasing the Static Age album. They are going to print the lyrics in the album. They got new artwork and shit and they are going to release new shirts and shit. On the radio they played a couple of live songs off of the live album they are releasing and they played the original Static Age and TV Casualty. On April 30 they are going to be at the Kiss Convetion in Hackensack, NJ, on May 6 they are going to be at the Music Man in Paramus, NJ on May 20 they are going to be at the Willowbrook Mall at Comic Collectors. Jerry and Doyle are making carbon graphite guitars, and they are going to start selling them. They got a new drummer they are working with named Chud, who used to be in Sacred Trash. They also got there own model company, they have a model of Jerry Only with 160 metal chrome spikes, a guitar with real strings, it stands about a foot tall and it ways about 7-8 pounds. Well thats what they had to say. To the guy who said the Misfits candled is burned out, fuck you.

Yes, everything you say is correct ( movie origin...) BUT it's still "Gabba Gabba Hey" and i'm *sure* about it... About that NJ horror convention thing that Mark and EVB talked about... Did the word "ripoff" occured to anybody? Actually, did the words "do they think we're totally stupid?" occured to anybody? $25 for a T-shirt huh? Great! Plaques???? Umm, does Jerry and Doyle need some money *so* desperately?? Well, I guess, at least now we know the *only* reason the Misfits will be reformed... SAD! Still, I'll pay as much as I have to , to go see them if they play live again... I know, I'm sad too! And a few issues ago, I was all for the re-union...Hmmm, actually, maybe I'll start changing my mind... Re-issue old stuff?? Some more?? This is getting too much! I'll quit whining now...

Don "Evil" Dieffenbach ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 95 08:44:59 EDT From: Haskin Douglas CDT Subject: New Misfits albums I was just wondering about those new Misfits albums coming out. -How likely is it that Caroline will approve the release? I mean, is it just a legal formality, or are they going to have a struggle to get it out? -Will the albums be as easy to acquire as the other Misfits CDs released by Caroline? -I guess they don't know a release date or anything, but how long are we talking about till they come out? A couple months? A year? I agree with whoever else who like to see Glenn do some stuff with the Misfits again. Danzig is his band, and I know he's not going to leave that band, but it would be nice to just have Glenn do one more album with Jerry and Doyle. Anyway, Mark and EVB- thanks for all the info so far, and keep us posted on whatever else happens. Thanks.

What does the guy in the audience yell in the Necronomicon boot? its during Mommy... about 20 seconds into the song (according to my CD player)... oh, and to whoever asked about the sound quality on Necronomicon...it's great. the first half is directly from a show and you get to listen to Glenn berate the audience and his "Joisey" accent comes out nicely ;). the second half is from various shows and sounds a bit muffled, but all in all it's a good boot. and thanks for putting me back on Mark!

I am guessing since there are so many of us on here now, maybe there are a few others who share my stupidity. Anyway, could someone (maybe mark, if you have time, so i dont get 100 responses) please give us an overview? For example, what does "IMHO" stand for, and why do you have to put *stars* like this instead of capitals, and what is this :) Anyway, some do's and dont's would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone ever met one of the dudes running Glenn's comic book company named Hart Fisher? This story has been bugging me for the longest time. Last year, my roommate and friend was this guy who is going to be in a movie that Hart wrote (he is an amateur filmmaker along with being a comic book mogul). Anyway, he always used to hear me play danzig and the 'fits and he asked me what it was. i gave it to him and then he gave it to hart for a listen and they loved it and wanted to use some danzig for the soundtrack to the movie. Anyway, this hart guy just called up glenn and asked to meet with him to discuss this, the comic book fetish came up, and all of a sudden glenn is forking over tall cash to this guy to start up the company. I think it is totally ironic, but i feel violated (well, not really, I just couldn't think of the right word). It's like i have loved d/m/s for years now, and this new guy comes in after listening to my cd's, calls him up, and now he hangs with glenn, shoots pool and goes to his house. How the hell am I ever gonna meet this guy? Ughhhh... Next order of biz--to cternes and anyone else from the chicagoland area: Rock on WVVX! for those of you out east and anywhere else, this was a station that you could never get in cuz the reception was just terrible. All day long it was a spanish station, and then come 7 or 8 pm, it was *the only* metal station in town (kinda hard to believe being chicago)--but it was some die hard shit you wouldnt hear anywhere else. I remember having to bend my antenna 4 different ways, tape it down in one position and then stay on one side of my room just to get half way decent reception! Remeber Scott Loftus? Last i heard he was a dj on the blaze! talk about a sellout. This WVVX station got phased out and now the hardest metal station we have plays ac/dc and van halen, and even throws in that grunge crap. Kinda upset when i started hearing "mother" and "cantspeak" on there cuz then you get the wannabes, but oh well. Needless to say, the muzic scene here is not that exciting. Q101 sux... I have been thinking alot about people saying glenn and others have sold out. Well, on a kinda related point, does anyone else get mad when a band you have always liked starts to get popular? It's like i seem to begin to like a band less when this happens. For example, I like a lot of different kinds of music, whatever the pace (for the most part). Anyway, I have been a big fan of the beastie boys since the first album in 86. They lost most of the fans after that 1st one cuz they changed their style so much and no one liked it. My friends used to give me shit all over the place about liking them--I never heard the end of it. Now, all of a sudden the beasties are the rage in the shitty college/grunge scene and all these people who two years ago told me i sucked cuz i listened to them are buying their cd's. this has pissed me off so much because the beasties are part of "the scene" now, and i hate the scene. Shit, i saw them three years ago at the riviera (saw glenn there in december). this place holds like 1000 max. I couldnt even get tix for a show this summer at a place that holds like 15000. Even though i still like the music, i have "subconsciously" quit liking them because of all the asshole posers who like them now. Same thing used to happen with danzig and the misfits--people would say "what the fuck is this shit?". Then mother came out and everywhere i went i heard everyone singing mother and i was so pissed. I even know this girl (no offense EVB and all the other fine women out there) who bought the thrall cd--i mean she is as top 40 as it gets. This pisses me off. All of these people just go out and buy the new stuff and that is as deep as it goes for them. I dont even think many of them know that mother is like 6 years old! As a result i dont like the new album as much i think because it has been hyped a bit and to me it is not the danzig i "know". (i also prefer the faster and less produced sounds of I and II). I am just praying that glenn's stuff doesnt get to the point where he is on the radio all the time. Well, even if it happens, i still have the older stuff that rocks and i think is too hard for these people to take. I mean, that is why i like our little clic we have here, and is what i love about samhain and the misfits--i know hardly anyone who has even heard of them, even the people who have glenn's latest stuff. That is what is great about every one of you guys (except that dark vorlok cock)--everyone here is hard core into this and not because its on mtv or on the radio or all over the record stores. It's not because we are trying to pose or be "part of the scene", but cuz the music does something for us (glenn chanting about your future in an oblong box on die, die.. just gives me the most exhilarating and powerful feeling). Does anyone out there agree with me at all? I dont know, I guess my point is i agree it is easy to equate selling out with getting popular, when this is not necessarily true. I dont know glenn personally, but from what all of you say he seems to have some integrity and is gonna do what he wants. Sorry I rambled on this point, but i would be really interested to hear what you guys have to say. BTW, i hope i didnt mislead anyone--i *am* a diehard fan. Two last quick points--who is the one saying "this is take 1, teenagers from mars and children in heat"? Why is children in heat left off of some versions? Finally, quick tribute to EVB (how the hell do you do it?) and everyone who interacts with glenn, jerry, doyle, and everyone else. I am really envious, but you have great stories. Maybe some day we will have like a "bible" convention where we can all roadtrip and meet and hang out and talk d/m/s for awhile! Anyway, i have gone on too long.

I just sent out the last request this morning. Although...I still haven't checked my mailbox today - yikes! Only nine more days until I start the video work! Okay, well I don't know who's in charge of the cover tape anymore, but whoever is - maybe you should set a deadline for the thing because I need to know the latest date to get the material to you. Like I said, we aren't even going to be in the studio until at least late July!! If the deadline is before then, I can only provide you with a live version or a four track demo-quality thing. But if you set it afterward, you can expect the studio version. We're pretty set on recording "Halloween" in case anybody was considering this song... So I guess the one in charge of all this is Mike Mollura or Don "evil" - either way, SOMEONE POST A DEADLINE! I suggest making it sometime in the fall because that's when everybody gets back to school, blah,blah,blah - more people will have the opportunity to get their hands on it. Think it over. And to Andychrist, I'll get back to you about the shows once I've got the current proposals set in stone. It's looking like we've got some openings in early June for the Baltimore area. I just read Mark and EVB's stories about the conventions - excellent, excellent write ups!! Was the Crimson Ghost there? He seems to have disappeared from the Bible as of late - we miss you Crimsy!!! Anyway, I think that I'm just going to have to buy one of those Jerry models sometime this summer (160 spikes!?!?!). All of the news provided in these write-ups and by the people who talked about the radio show were greatly appreciated! Sounds like Jerry and Doyle will once again be out there for all of us to see and hear - this makes me so happy! Well, take care everyone. -Brent E. p.s.

Here's the order: Static Age (it should be coming out soon, shouldn't it??) This is their first I think, but never released. The middle period is a little hazy to me, Earth AD and Die, Die My Darling (EP) came out in this time. They can sometimes be found in the same package on CD nowadays. Walk Among Us came out in 1982, their last studio release. Why it's not on Plan 9, I don't know. Anyone know? Evilive: 1983, recorded on the tour for Walk Among Us. (1-2-3-4!) Misfits came out in 1986, back on Plan 9. This was outtakes and stuff like that. Legacy of Brutality, though it had a lot of old stuff (i think part of Static Age) was in 1990. Hope this helps..I don't know when the Beware 7 incher came out, though.

Perry" Subject: This rules! Man, I'm bummin. I'm one of the biggest misfits fans I know. I live near Buffalo, NY. I read an interview with Jerry Only in an issue of a magazine called Ugly Things. Anyway, I took my bandmates across New York State to the town of Lodi, NJ over Spring Break convinced I could find Jerry and Doyle's residence if I looked hard enough and investigated. Needless to say, we didn't find them. But now, one month later, I'm killing time fucking around on the internet (which I never do!) and I stumble into this! If only I had found this forum before! I would have talked to them for sure! But the 7 hour's distance was worth the trek! Honestly, if any of you get some spare time and cash, you should visit Lodi.

Can anyone tell me why the Danzig concert last night in Utica, NY only had around 1300 people in attendance (assuming 100 people bought tickets at the door)? This strikes me as surpising odd. The only thing my friends and I could come up with is extremely poor advertisment. I'm in Rochester, NY, which is about 150 miles away and I didn't hear a word about it except for the Bible. Without the Bible, I wouldn't have had a chance to go at all. Now, tickets for the concert were not done through Ticketmaster (because when I called the said all they had was the Red Bank, NJ show) so the only way you could get them through the Utica Auditorium. If Glenn is as money hungry as everyone makes him out to be, how come there was no publicity? Utica isn't terrible far from the Atlantic, and with Syracuse within a half hour there has to be some resonable explanation. Utica isn't very big, and it makes me wonder why the show wasn't held in Syracuse in the first place. There just should have been more people there. Anyone have any ideas or explanations? Look out Wilkes Barre.... One note: Don't get me terrible wrong about the concert. Danzig rocked!!! The only had a 15 song set (maybe sixteen) with no encore, but I still found it to be extrememly fucking great. Less people, easier to get to the front row, which is where I was once I tried to get there. Korn was annoying, but I though Marilyn Manson was cool. Not exactly fitting to open for Danzig (not that they're bad, just different), but their set was good. Does anyone know if they're still doing the Halloween show in Irvine this year? Hollister ------------------------------ From: "Bouras, Elizabeth" Subject: Just comments on #76 (haven't been anywhere in a few days!) Date: Thu, 27 Apr 95 08:47:00 edt Just a few comments this time 'around on Bible #76 - Drslfin - tell us all about Red Bank show please! REALLY wanted to go but couldn't get that much more time off work... Brian Miller - actually an industrial cover of Misfits would be interesting. I guess I feel that there's no point in doing a cover of a song if you're gonna pretty much do a repeat of the original - I much prefer seeing bands take something & re-interprete into something uniquely their own. Otherwise you're usually better off listening to the original. Scott Cummings - "Glen [sic] Danzig & the Power & the Fury Orchestra" appear only on the soundtrack to the LESS THAN ZERO album (one track only, "You and Me (Less Than Zero)", rest are by other bands). Definitely our Glenn the first time he hooked up with Rick Rubin in 1987 when it was still Def Jam. Also on there is a song he co wrote with Rubin for Roy Orbison. Yup, have that ish of THRASHER... great interview! One of the few where Glenn really says very much. The other songs on the "Beware & the Rest" boot CD that weren't on Beware are from all the other rare & long out of print singles that the Misfits issued between '77 & '81, plus Glenn's solo single Who Killed Marilyn/Spook City USA & the only unreleased song "Return of the Fly" (which never came out on anything but I believe is due out on the forthcoming Static Age album) CarolK7993 - OK, here's the order of the Misfits albums (listed ORIGINAL issue dates, anything later is a re-release): Walk Among Us - 1982 Ruby Records Earth AD - 1983 Plan 9 records Legacy of Brutality - 1986 Plan 9 Records Evilive LP - 1987 Plan 9 Records (a shorter version had been released as a 7" in 1981) Misfits compilation -1987 Plan 9 records (originally on CD only then issued on LP to combat rampant bootlegging) So even though the songs on Legacy are technically the earliest songs there were among the last to be collected in album format, and only long after the band had split up. For the first 5 years (1977-1982) the only Misfits releases were 7" in the US and the "Beware" 12" in the UK. Walk Among Us was issued on Ruby after Ruby signed the Misfits. However they lied to the band about the number of albums sold and never paid them claiming they'd sold only a tiny amount. Various Misfits have been trying to reclaim the masters since & it's tied up in litigation. Last weekend Jerry Only told me that if he can't get the masters back he has alternate versions of every track on there & will compile them into a parallel "Walk Among Us". Needless to say they never put anything out again on Ruby & went back to releasing through Plan 9. Ryan - yeah, I think the Ramones first came up with the 1-2-3-4! intro. I remember the first time I saw them('76?) the only way I could tell they were changing songs is when they'd yell that. UJCCURRY - The British film "Vampira" is totally unrelated to the Misfits song. It's about Maila Nurmi. (Don't you think Plan 9 is LONG overdue for MTS3K?) She - fun to read your write up of Chiller as well! Did Jerry sell any of those shirts or give 'em all away? Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Chud gave me a tape of another band he's in - Sacred Trash. Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but it looks pretty psychotronic. Heading back on the road this weekend for the Danzig shows in Wilkes Barre & Pittsburgh, then home for a day before setting off again for Norfolk, Myrtle Beach, Charlotte, Birmingham, Knoxville, Panama City, Jacksonville, Sunrise, Tampa & Orlando. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet some of ya on the road & I promise lots of stories when I get back. So in case I don't get a chance to send in a post on my stop home between Pittsburgh & Norfolk I'll see ya when I get back in a few weeks!

Subject: Bootleg Compilations I've got a question about a couple of bootlegs I saw for sale in Goldmine. One advertiser has 2 CD compilations of Misfits singles: "Beware and the Rest" and "The Complete Singles '77-82 (+ bonus tracks)". I found a track listing of "Beware..." in the Misfits Bible (an *incredible* discography, BTW), but I didn't see "Singles..." (To my track list query, the advertiser gave me a lame "uhh.. I don't know. It's in the warehouse"). Does anyone have/know of this? Of the two, which gets the better recommendation for sound quality? Thanks, - Dave ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Apr 1995 14:10:16 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: H. Fisher and AN IDEA!! Hi all, As to the Hart Fisher inquirie: yes, I met him last year when he came through Stafford, Va. He was doing a comic shop appearance - but nobody showed up except for my brother and I!! We talked to him a little about his work and he seemed like a very laid back kind of guy - he even showed us his wedding pictures!! You can imagine what the cake looked like... He also signed a couple comics for us including the infamous Jesus Christ versus Jeffery Dahmer one shot. Too bad I didn't know he was into Glenn at the time...then again, maybe he wasn't. You know...that whole idea about the Misfits Bible convention ain't bad at all! I propose this: once Jerry, Doyle, Chud, and the mystery singer are ready to play live - we should all chip in and rent out a hotel convention room or even a small club. From there we can all meet up, have dinner, trade stories and records and cap the evening off with a performance by the new Misfits!!! Or we could go for a day long thing where all of the Bible members that have bands could perform throughout the convention/gathering-thing and then the Misfits go on. LET'S START BRAINSTORMING!!! We've got the connections.... Man, this list is definitely getting more of a family feel every day!! Who would have thought that the Misfits list would be the closest knit????

Well, I guess, at least now we > know the *only* reason the Misfits will be reformed... SAD! These guys put a lot of work into their stuff. Jerry and Doyle are all into horror movies and models and Japanese toys and stuff and those things are costly. By their standards, this stuff isn't a rip off at all. They work hard, and have done so all their life. They're putting out stuff that they think is cool, and it costs them some money to do it. It's for super fans who are really into the whole image thing and not just the music. I don't know what I'd do with a plaque, but there are people who would probably go for that. You should hear his plans for combatting bootlegs and super prices. He wants to provide a service where people could call and request shows, and they would be put on a tape and mailed out to you. It would cost a few bucks, and save a ton of money on those horrible ripoff CD bootlegs that the people on this mailing list seem to go after all the time. They'd be taped right off the best quality tapes available. Something like that. Jerry is very much against the idea of people having to pay big bucks for songs. But for quality merchandise that he has to pay for to make, I don't think he's being too unreasonable. The shirts are killer, but you're right, $25 does seem like too much Haskin Douglas CDT > -How likely is it that Caroline will approve the release?

Angelfuck: > out on caroline so i can get an idea of what it is like (i.e. -- is that > live show on any known cd bootleg?) well hopefully i will be able to see No, the live show is only on a tape owned by Jerry. However, one track - Attitude - was released in 1984 on Flipside Vinyl Fanzine volume I. It sounds really good. If the rest of the album is like that, we're in luck. Scott Cummings - That stuff took me a while to figure out to...

Teenagers is more popular than Children In Heat, although I like Children better and that's why it gets left off. I don't know why everyone thinks of them as one song, they're two songs recorded in a row, that's all. Vlad Tempes: > Hope this helps..I don't know when the Beware 7 incher came out, though. The Beware 7" is a boot everybody. The real thing came out on 12" in 1979 and it was bootlegged onto 7" starting in 1985. Also, the real cover features the 1979 lineup elongated photo, not the stage shot of Jerry, Doyle and Glenn with the slime monster that's on a lot of bootlegs. "Nathan E. Perry" > Man, I'm bummin.

Well it would help to have the address of their old house. But you were looking in the wrong place if you want to find them now. They don't live in Lodi anymore. They're in Vernon Valley and they're not so easy to find. Even most of the people in Lodi don't know where Glenn's house is. When I was up there in the fall, I was talking to some people in a record store and they were amazed that I knew where Glenn lived and talked with Jerry and Doyle and Franche and Mr. Jim. The Misfits are a legend there, but nobody knows they're still around. For the person who wrote this line "They all changed their names to Chicago - what the fuck does this mean????" That's a great question. When I saw them rehearse in the fall I watched Jerry when it came to that part of the song, and I was amazed to see that he actually sang those words. I can't imagine what glenn was thinking when he wrote that.. see you later. mark ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 15:32:10 -0400 From: Lord Valgamon Subject: Danzig in concert: worth it? Hey fiends, Danzig is playing here in Connecticut at the Sting on Saturday 4/29. I am wondering if it's worth it to shell out the bucks to go see the show. Those of you who have already seen them on this tour: would you recommend the show to someone who is basically only a misfits fan (i.e. doesn't own a single samhain/danzig album and has only heard "Mother.")? I imagine the tickets are quite expensive and I would like some feedback and opinions. Secondly, I *did* buy the gold _Earth AD_ CD. I should feel great, I should feel like I own a piece of history, but I don't. I am still trying to rationalize having paid over $2/min for roughly 20 minutes of music. For this reason I am strongly considering selling it. It's been played on my CD player a total of one-and-a-half times. The CD is in pretty much mint condition and if anyone is serious about buying it off me, send me some email. However, I am still not positive about selling it, or what price I would ask, so don't get your hopes up just yet. Thirdly, is there a mail order outlet for misfits merchandise? Does Caroline do mail order? I want some shirts, dammit, and the stores around here are just SO lame! I did find a cool Samhain shirt, though, with the _Initium_ cover on the front and a cool logo on the back. I will "courier" these shirts through the mail if anyone wants one, they cost $15 (I think) at the store where I found them, and they had quite a few. Mostly large, some XL. I do not intend to make a profit by doing this, however, I expect YOU to cover postage as well as the cost of the shirt (obviously). :) And btw did anything come of the Jerry/Doyle/Glenn talks on the 26th? -- "Because all of you of Earth are idiots!" - Eros, Plan 9 from Outer Space -- Lord Valgamon 800-241-7337 ext. 1673# ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Apr 1995 00:01:07 +0300 (EET DST) From: Jens Hendren Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #77 From: scott cummings > I have been thinking alot about people saying glenn and others have sold > out.

Even though i still like the music, i > have "subconsciously" quit liking them because of all the asshole posers [...stuff deleted...] > Does anyone out there agree with me at all? I dont know, I guess my point I sure do, I have the same problem, I got really into Metallica years back, and when their last (IMHO boring) record appeared I got totally sick of all the new teen-boppers who became Metallica fans, and it somehow made me dislike even the old records... Same thing with the 'new' punkbands, I was into NOFX, old Bad Religion and that stuff a couple of years before they 'sold out' or whatever, and now with all the hype going on I'm just tired of it all, and somehow ashamed to say I too (atleast did) like the music... I guess this also has something to do with the fact that I think most bands become boring as their career goes on, or atleast their first releases are the best ones. Just look at bands like Metallica, Helloween, Ramones, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Bad Religion.... all great bands, but I think they should have quitted while they still did some nice stuff. That's what I think is one of the things about Misfits, they quit before it got out of hands, and will always live on (atleast the old version of Misfits) as that kick-ass punk-band, not as a bad joke...

Let me just tell ya that the small and quaint town of Red Bank seems to really hate having rock shows in their sacred Count Basie Theatre. Well tuff shit. Anyway, after fighting my way past the hundreds of people waiting at the door I got ina little early to catch the end of soundcheck..(man I love my press pass).. and saw glenn sitting around by the stage entryway that goes under the stage.. got the chance to say Hi and let him go eat some food.. (not that I could have stopped him) Korn opened and I have to tell ya, I saw them in Phila with Biohazard and they really sucked but they seem like they grew up a bit and played pretty well..after their set I passed the t-shirt stand to see that they had new danzig shirts and even posters now.. I was really surprised that they had a bandanna with the 4p angel/devil on it.. seemed kind of cheesy.they also were selling verotika stuff like shirts and first issues.. so that was cool.. about 10 minutes after Korn went off stage someone dumped about 100 misfits guitar picks on the shirt table and people ate them up...give credit to whoever did it. Shameless self-promotion is a pretty funny thing. Anyway Marilyn Manson was what you might expect.Personally I really don;t dig too much of their music but their stage show is entertaining. Kind of reminds me of Gwar in about 86'. So they finished and the lights dropped as Overture started... We watched from the balcony and saw a great show. After three songs from 4p they went into about 2 more from how the gods. John even broke out this HUGE bc rich guitar and played How the gods kill.. it was cool. Anyway, they went through a set that had mostly material from Danzig 3 and 4. Glenn gave out his yin-yang pendant to someone in the front row. Seems like he is oing that all the time now. And I don't mean to bitch but isn't this scenario getting a little predictable? I dig the hell out of Glenn and the band but I would like to be surprised now and then. All right enough of my bitching. I'm fully ready to be flamed big time for that one. So they went off and came back with She Rides and Long way back from hell for the encore. Overall it was a really good show. I think the best thing was hearing cantspeak. HEAVY bass that I felt in my spine. Forthose who were wondering there was no meet and greet after the show cuz the security company was basically the gestapo. A bunch of assholes. So even those who had gotten passes didn't get the chance to see the band. Ah well, next time. Hope I didn't bore the hell out of anyone. On another note I got an advance copy of Bad Brains new release and it's really dissapointing. OK. thats it, later. jamie ------------------------------ From: ols@home.interaccess.com Date: Thu, 27 Apr 1995 15:03:45 Subject: tribute mainly- > does anyone else get mad when a band > you have always liked starts to get popular?

Well it had dropped to $20 by Saturday & I'm wondering if Jerry actually sold any as he gave away plenty! Gave me one for me & one to give to Glenn. I don't think they need the $ so bad, they're just into "STUFF" Haskin Douglas CDT - I'd guess that any new Misfits distributed by Caroline would be as easy to find as the old ones that went thru Caroline. ols - n ooo, I don't got to concerts everyday; actually few bands play here that I'm that into. I just save up my time & $ for spurts of activity... Scott Cummings - nooo, Glenn didn't fork over tall cash for Hart Fisher to start up Verotik. No no no. What happened is this - Glenn founded Verotik in early 1994 & hired a woman named Valarie Jones to run it. Unfortunately Val & Glenn didn't agree on a lot of points & she was pretty sloppy in putting the books together (Verotika #1 has a lot of printing errors) so he canned her late in 1994. At about the same time Hart came over to Glenn's to interview him for HERO magazine and that was the first time he met them. Now what I've heard from some of the artists that work for Verotik who are good friends of mine that Hart begged & hounded Glenn for the job of managing editorship so Glenn hired him partly for his determination, and partly for his rep as a maverick. Truthfully I'm very uneasy with him at the helm since the quality of the books issued by Hart's company Boneyard Press have been pretty low and also he is NOT well thought of by the general comic community (he's generally considered a pretty sleazy character) and I'd like to see Verotik be successful and taken seriously, especially with as much money as Glenn is putting into it. Also I've had reports (from artists) that Hart has said some pretty nasty shit about Glenn behind his back & implies that he is in charge & not Glenn, sorta pumping himself up in folk's eyes. Now I know that Glenn has personally picked out EVERYTHING that appears in the books (he's not just some distant figurehead owner) & Hart's editing has very little to do with the content & more with physically assembling the stuff so this is far from the truth. (Glenn spends a LOT of time even on the road calling & FAXing folks about stuff) Luckily Glenn has also hired Steven Wardlaw, formerly of Tundra and Kitchen Sink who is highly respected and as he's in charge of publicity and such this should help to counterbalance Hart. (Still, I have a feeling if some of Hart's comments get back to Glenn he's history...) As far as Glenn's stuff on the radio/MTV: OK, I know we all hate posers, but on the other hand look at it this way: if the music is played there are folks out there that will hear it that might not have any exposure to it otherwise and some of them will REALLY get into it. I'm not gonna bitch if somebody got into Danzig last week if they REALLY like it as for them it could be a great starting point & could possibly change their life - don't laugh, I've seen it happen. I first started listening to Danzig after a friend sent me a tape when the first album came out & I totally flipped for it & liked it so much that I had to go find EVERYTHING else related to it & as soon as I found out about Samhain & the Misfits I bought everything by them too. Look where that led. Sometimes I ask myself, if my pal Gregg hadn't sent me that tape when would I have heard of this band? It might have taken many years before I bumped into a song on the radio or MTV or just bought an album because I liked the cover and look at all I might have missed. For all I know there are prolly really great bands out there I've never heard of & never will. So look at it this way - if the music is played so somebody can hear it it might change somebody's life. (Off my soapbox now) Ignore the posers; next month they'll discover something else. Anyway, Glenn certainly has integrity - he's not playing down to the masses for the almighty dollar. If he wanted to he could write stupid songs & tone done his image so he didn't intimidate so many folks & make 'em nervous but he won't. If he just wanted $ he would have taken the gig singing for Metallica when Hetfield offered it some years back (in the period in between Samhain & Danzig - I've got an interview with Hetfield where he mentions they'd offered the position to Glenn but he turned them down as he'd rather do his own thing) RE: How the hell do I do it? Same way I do anything - sheer determination & will power! As for a Bible convention - I REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA!!! HEY FOLKS, HOW ABOUT IT?? Actually I was thinking about this last night & realized that there are a number of Bible members in the Washington DC/Baltimore area or at least should be soon. I know Mark, Brent & NINcompoop live in Virginia not too far from here & maybe will be in the area after school lets outs, SamhainXXX is up the street from me, some of you are around Baltimore which isn't too far .... Anyway, would you folks be interested in a Misfits Bible party some time over the summer? I'd be more than happy to one host at my apartment (located in, cough, beautiful downtown Gaithersburg, MD about 20 miles northwest of DC) We could trade stories, watch videos (Fits, Samhain, Danzig, Undead and/or cheesy horror flicks that tie in - I've got a huge collection!), munch out etc. (no drugs or booze tho folks!) What would you say to that?? A weekend will be best & I know I'm booked for a few to travel to comic cons (San Diego here I come!) but once Danzig is off the road most of my summer is free. Post any comments to the Bible (I'll read 'em all when I get back from the road) & don't e-mail me personally as I'll be gone until May 18th.... Brent - No, no sign of the Crimson Ghost at the Chiller show even tho he'd been the first to mention Jerry would be there many months ago. Conspicuously absent - I think he's fallen off the face of the earth! Part - "Beware" was a 12" incher, not a 7" and came out in England in 1979. Any 7" version is a later bootleg. Nathan E. Perry - Afraid if you were looking for Jerry & Doyle in Lodi you wouldn't have any luck as they moved to Vernon NJ quite a few years ago. But I can understand driving up to do the scenic Lodi tour as I've done so myself! (Hope ya saw the great huge cemetery across from the high school - figure that must have been a major influence on all those guys growing up!)

I don't think that it would work out if Glenn went back to the Misfits (are we still on this subject??), and I'd hate to see Danzig be lost.

I think he is fairly nice since he waved to me when I managed to get myself smashed between the railing and 400 people at the Metallica concert I went to last year but he's an asshole about his music. He would never redo Misfits stuff and may Jerry and Doyle have the best of luck trying to get him back in the Misfits. He refuses to release old stuff and its only by God's grace we are getting a Samhain box set when a Misfits Box Set would be alot better to have due to the rarities of this. He's an ass about his music thats for sure. To NICKOLOPOLUS: Your comments were pretty stupid. $25 is the normal price for concert t-shirts. Of the 6 concerts I've ever been to shirts were $23 - $27 dollars. Its the normal cost. Reissuing old stuff is an excellent idea. Do you want the Misfits to die out just so they can "remain loyale to their roots"? I am sure Glenn woulda released all that stuff like mad if they had the money to do so at the time. The Misfits could barely stay afloat and from what it seems this is costing Jerry and Doyle money. I am sure the statues came to no cheapo price for them and they promote free stuff too. I can't wait for the Misfits stuff to be rereleased on CD and tape and maybe even vinyl. I think like re-releases of the old EP's and singles on vinyl would be really cool. Glenn hasn't notherd to released anything new in years cuz he likes closing out the past cuz he feels its no longer relevent when maybe he doesn't even realize that those punk days of minimal but strong fan base has spawned into something higher. His previous band can almost be called an icon of the times. They were one of the truly great punk bands because they sang about more then just the norm. They sang about b-movies, ghosts, goblins, raping peoples moms. The good wholesome stuff! :) To All DEVILOCK responders: Thankyou for your responses.

I have a CD/ep by 3-D picnic that has a cover of skulls on it. It came out on Cargo records in 1991 and it's a lot like the lemonheads version of the same year(quiet,mellow). Speaking of skulls, this might be another Misfits related movie, it might not. The Skull 1965 skull of the Marquis deSade has magical powers. Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing are in it. What kind of guitar did Doyle play and what kind of amp set up did he use? It looks like the kind that the guy in KISS sometimes used. One time at a comic convention somebody asked if i wanted to see some films made by Danzig's guitarist. Anyway i went and it was Joe Christ not John Christ who was the filmaker. The movie was "Acid is groovy/kill the pigs" and some other short one about a stripper cutting herself, kind of neat wack-o stuff. I thought i'd mention that because of the name similarity and for the fact that Joe Christ is married to Nancy Collins who i think is connected to Verotik comics. If another comp/rarites tape pops up in the future it might be interesting if some one would put RATTFINK on it by Allan Sherman. I cant find this song anywhere. Im assuming that this is a parody of RAGGMOP, which i have heard. to EVB - I'd like t see mst3k do plan-9 but they arent going to touch it.

I must admit I was reluctant to ride 3 hours to see Glenn again, but this trip proved worth it. First of all, I met Glenn outside before the show. He signed my Walk Among Us and Unholy Passion Ep's. I tried to start some small talk, but you seem to go completely blank whenever the chance arises to talk to the man himself. Anyway, my girlfriend got the original "bullet" lyric sheet signed. She handed it to Glenn and he was taken aback. He must have thought it was ,a copy, because he studied the damn thing before he signed it (I guess i can't blame him). Ran into E.Von also. he was nice as usual. He too signed Unholy Passion. I asked about the hotline and he claims to update it at least once a week. Finally, the show!!!! Wilkes Barre must not get many shows cause this was not the typical Glenn fest that i have come to know and love. First of all, we had and old lady escort us to our seats!! Anyway, the show sucked at first. The floor was all seating and there was NO pit at all. Finally,Glenn got frustrated because the fans were so phisically removed from the show that he invited the entire audience onto the floor to "dance". Well, we ran our assews off from the balcony and made it to the pit, where i think i saw Glenn at an all new level. By fucking over the Wilkes Barre arena and having all the fans rush the stage, you could see the energy exude from the band. Sorry i ranted so much. I guess Liz will also have an update on the shows (at least i hope so).One more thing, Cantspeak is incredible live. it's a totally differant song. Wow! I'm the one, ewebb@eddie.yorkcol.edu ------------------------------ From: WL261073@wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu Date: Mon, 01 May 1995 10:34:34 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Pittsburgh Got back from the Pittsburgh show last night. I met EVB there. Korn was cool. Marylin manson was fuckin, demented, but real cool. My roommate was being real shitty aboout them, he said he wanted to kill the guy. (My roommate is kinda an asshole about stuff sometimes) I thought they were great. Danzig did a big set with an encore. Early into their set John switched to an old Gibson Hollow-body. We were on the rail right in front of Eerie. Early in the Danzig set, Glenn told the security guys to pull EVB over the rail. She must've been gettin' squished by the crowd. I know I was, and I'm pretty big. I looked for her in the parking lot, but didn't find her after the show. I've got a few lumps on my head, and my ears are ringing, but it was a cool show. My roommate likes Manson now, and wants the CD. It takes a lot to impress him, but they were cool. I ended up with Eerie's bass pick. Didn't get to meet Glenn this time, cops were scared of a riot and they roped us off like cattle. I give the Beaver County Sherrif's department a big thumbs DOWN.

Like I said last time, I'm new here, so I'm not sure who knows this stuff already. The deal with the Static Age LP was that the Misfits had released their first single, "Cool/Cough b/w She" under their own label called Blank. And shortly thereafter, Mercury Records (is that right?) released an album under a newly formed sub- label, also called Blank. The record company was told that the Misfits had already used that name and had grounds to sue the company. (I don't think Glenn and Jerry threatened to sue, I think the company was covering their asses.) So Mercury settled with the Misfits by giving them free studio time. (Small compensation for the bucks they would have made by sueing) When the Misfits finished up, the company decided to sit on the album and not release it, because they did not promise a release. So that's why the stuff didn't appear until 'Legacy,' many years after the fact. Think of how big they would have been if that shit came out in 78 like it was supposed to? Poor guys: Small wonder they're trying to pull in a little dough. Not that it's right or anything, but it must be frustrating to watch so many inferior bands get all of the glory. If I got any facts wrong, correct me so I don't look like a dick. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 01 May 1995 20:49:39 EDT From: MR JIM EVILIVE Subject: Danzig Needs a Hug My friend read in Entertainment Weekly that some LA funk rock band called Sugar Ray, released a song called "Danzig Needs a Hug." He said the song does refer to Glenn Danzig. He also said that the magazine said "from what we can see, Danzig needs more than a hug." Thought that was kind of funny.

If you are willing to host I'm sure we can be persuaded to bring the food and whatever else you might need. Let us know if you would really like to do it. Thumbs up for the great idea. TO--Gabriel Palczewski I think it's about time that everyone stop bashing Glenn for his business decisions. Very few of us and maybe none of us have ever had a band that found more fame years after it ended than when it was in-tact. And you have to think that if the MIsfits broke up they did it for a reason. If it was a good enough reason why would you want to bring up a situation that sucked for you. Thats why Glenn has distanced himself from the past. We know he's a nice guy who actually gives a shit about his fans so why turn around and hit him while he isn't looking and say that he's a dick about his music. Besides it's HIS music. Not yours or mine. When we write it we can do what we want with it. Keep an open mind and try not to bite that hand that feeds.

Greg - About the tribute tape, never was I made aware that it was supposed to be a "shitty recording." Maybe you get off on that stuff, but I'm not really into it - oh well. Don, the guy who's putting it together, wrote me and said that there's not too many bands who have committed yet - so it's kind of useless to send it out "fast" when there's only like seven or so songs on it... Also, I don't know about the rest of the bands, but my band has a serious problem with releasing "shitty recordings" - even if it's just for a few people. We just take a lot of pride in our music and want it to be the best quality we can afford to make it. I guess I can understand if we were just some bedroom/garage band - but we have committed ourselves to professionalism in our live shows and recordings. And we just want to hold on to that little creed. Okay? About Jerry/Doyle and money - It upsets me that some people think that Jerry and Doyle are just out for a buck. How can you say this when they routinely hand out these t-shirts for free, run their mailing list for free, ignore the $5.00 photo op and pose for free, etc. etc. etc. These guys are some of the most gracious, generous, and hospitable musicians around and I get really unnerved when people fail to see this! Man-oh-man, by making all of the t-shirts, models, and re-issues, they are simply giving their fans what they want!! And Mark is absolutely right, it costs Jerry and Doyle a lot of their own money to make all of this stuff available (especially when they hand them out for free) - they don't have enormous budgets and a record company to back them up - so lay off it!! YOU may not be the dedicated fan that would pay for a Misfits t-shirt, model, or poster - but a lot of us are! I even said a couple issues back that I want to get one of those Jerry models...not because I think it's going to make me money or anything, but because of the influence and what it represents for me. I don't mind shelling out $160 for it because I know that it's 1.) QUALITY 2.) GENUINE and 3.) not manufactured as a money making scheme, but rather a momento of something great. Just remember that they wouldn't be doing this stuff if people didn't want it and that without a huge financial backing, the stuff is naturally going to cost more!! Onto better things.... To Liz - WOW! Thank you SO much for making the offer to host the 1st Misfits Bible Convention. I hope we can work something out for the summer. The DC area is perfect for me. You and so many others on this list have been so cool - I just want to let you know that I will stop whatever I am doing to attend wherever and whenever this thing goes down. A couple of people on this list from the west coast and the mid-west have already contacted me about coming out east sometime this summer - so maybe we can all get our shit together and coordinate this so that everyone who wishes to attend can do so. I hope you're having a blast on the Danzig tour and soory about the piss-poor security... Now the subliminal part: ~@~@~INVITE DOYLE AND JERRY~@~@~INVITE DOYLE AND JERRY~@~@~INVITE DOYLE AND JERRY~@~@~INVITE DOYLE AND JERRY~@~@~INVITE DOYLE AND JERRY~@~@~********** Finally... About the band Sugar Ray - yes, that was an accurate report in the last issue (Evilive person). They are a funk band and the song is indeed "Danzig Needs A Hug." The album is called something like "Brownies and Lemonade." I really would not recommend buying it because judging by the cover (heh, heh), it 's quite obvious that they need a gimmick or something to sell their music because the cover is nothing more than a gratuitous photo of a naked Nicole Eggert (Charles in Charge, Breastwatch) bending over into a white fur coat. It's just so blatant and pointless that you know the band must really suck to resort to this kind of marketing. Oh well....if I'm wrong about this - ah, who cares anyway. Well, that's all for now, I hope the security lightens up for all of you who will be attending any Danzig shows in the near future... - Brent E. ------------------------------ From: EevilDon@aol.com Date: Tue, 2 May 1995 14:02:06 -0400 Subject: tribute i'm running the tribute, mike is doing the distributing. remember e-mail me with your band's name and the song(s) you will be playing. thanks.

Anyway... about: 1: the 4/29 danzig show in Connecticut I did not end up going, but a few friends of mine went. The bloody IDIOTS only stayed for Korn and Marilyn Manson. "Aw, Danzig sucks. We didn't wanna stay." I proceeded to beat each of them senseless with a small crowbar. 2: the devilock issue I definitely have the length for it (bangs, that is)... but my hair is just kinda curly and it won't stay when I comb/brush it down. I think using gel would make it look REALLY lame. Any suggestions as to HOW to wear a devilock? 3: the proposed "bible convention" I would love to go, I am not THAT far away (southern Connecticut), and it sounds like a great idea (except for the absence of drugs/alcohol). I would love to just get together on a weekend and shoot the shit with all of you. :) Sounds like it would be a blast... anyone else in support of this? 4: Kryst the Conqueror So they sound like Iron Maiden, and they only have the _Deliver us from evil_ EP out. (so far?) Am I correct in assuming they are, for all intents and purposes, defunct? Forever? Does this mean the CD-EP is out of print/rare? Does anyone know of a mail order place that carries Undead/Kryst stuff? or ANY misfits (or associated bands) merchandise/clothing, at ALL? I am at a LOSS here, people!

Hi - This is just a reminder to all of the newer, inquisitive types. Virtually all of your questions can be answered in the Pit, Mark's Misfits site. The address ALWAYS appears at the end of the issues. You can check out member bios, pictures, and you should especially read over EVB's FAQ feature - most anything you could possibly ask is answered there. If you're really feeling bold, you can do what I just did - read like the first 20 or so Misfits Bibles. I didn't make my appearance here until the 30's - so it was very interesting to see how all of the hardcore fiends introduced themselves in the early issues, like Mark, his brother, the Crimson Ghost, Teevie, and especially EVB in #16. Man, those first thirteen issues were really short and almost painful!! I think it's issue 11 where there is nothing but one post (from Mark!). Now look at the number of posts! I was however a bit dissapointed because somewhere in there, the Crimson Ghost said that Jerry was going to post a message - and it didn't happen (in the first 20 issues). Oh well. Like I said, do yourselves a huge favor and check out the Pit on a regular basis!! Well, I guess aside from that little promotion, there's not much to say except that I am hoping to get the "Evil is as Evil Does" video project started THIS WEEKEND!!! To all of the people who stuck it out for the first twenty issues, I'd just like to point out that Jem and the Holograms kick butt!

It bugs the hell out of me > when I wear my shirt, and people ask me about it (well, it doesn't bug me > that they ask about it, it has made me extremely curious, though. A few of us got this from American Recordings about 6 months ago: The Four P movement is an alleged Satanic cult operating throughout the United States. An offshoot of the notorious Process Church of the Final Judgement, the Four P movement takes it's name from the Process' original sigil: a swastika like form composed of four interlocking Ps. The Four P movement was supposedly begun in 1967, and has been connected to a number of ritual across the country, including the Son of Sam killings in New York and the Manson Family in California. ~~~~~~ So anyway fiends, let me tell you about my experience last night. Drove 2 and a half hours to Norfolk to see Glenn and friends. I was stuck pretty far in the back and was actually not too into the show. They did 18 songs, 8 of them off the new one. I was sort of displeased at the lack of stuff from the 1st 2 albums. They didn't do anything off the first LP until late in the set when they did Mother (crowd goes wild) and Twist Of Cain (crowd goes even wilder). As an encore they played Bodies. According to Glenn, it was the 4th time they'd ever done it live. And of course EVB can tell you (as she did for me) the other 3 times it was played. Talking to EVB was fun as always. I definitely recommend going to the show to talk to her. Even if you don't care about seeing the band, definitely go and look for her. We hung out after the show and here's some stuff she told me: Some guy threw up on her at the PA show the other day and that's why security took her over the rail for a bit, so she could clean up. She'll be hanging around with a guy who looks like Twiggy from Marilyn Manson, so if you see him, ask him where she is. His name's Steve. She's going to the next 9 shows, Myrtle Beach is tonight and then down to Florida. After the show we went and hung out by her car and looked at her pictures from the horror Convention. Her pictures turned out a lot better than mine, that's for sure. If you can check out the page, do it. I put one picture up there. It's got Doyle, me, and Jerry standing in front of the graveyard scene. What else.... well Marilyn Manson did not play last night because one of the guys cut his hand. And I was not able to find Evil Don - (where were you Don?). I got there pretty late and didnt' notice any of the stuff for sale, but it looked like someone had a tour book. Is that true, are they selling those? Also the stage set wasn't as interesting as I would have hoped. Glenn was a wild man as always, and John did his standard I'm-frozen-in-this-stance-to-the-right-of-glenn thing and Eerie did his silent thump-and-walk thing. My favorite part of the show was seeing John and Eerie scream the back-up vocals (I'm on fire and I need a hole) to "It's Coming Down" together. Overall they sounded a little heavier than I like to imagine them, but the sound was pretty good. One last EVB tidbit. She talked to Glenn and he has absolutely none-nothing- forget_it-never-never-no_way interest in having anything to do with the Misfits. Oh well. It's unfortunate, because he has to approve the stuff they want to put out, and he doesn't sound interested. I'm going to part with a message from Chris (who is a super fiend) - > tell whoever ranted about sellouts etc. in the bible > that i don't think "quitted" is a word. it's hard to make > someone look bad when you can't use words properly see you later mark ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 03 May 95 17:00:14 EDT From: Haskin Douglas CDT Subject: Caroline stuff I really hope that Caroline does decide to release those upcoming Misfits albums.

Doug ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 May 1995 18:07:33 -0500 (CDT) From: scott cummings Subject: little dead Everyone-- Just wanted to thank those of you that responded about my selling out vs. getting popular message i posted in MB#77. I forgot to mention Metallica. I somehow dont see this happening to Glenn--at least not on the level it happened to Metallica. i mean last time I saw Metallica I was next to an eight year old black kid and his dad. I dont mean anything racist by this, I just mean that I never pictured this being the target audience of these guys. I saw them back in '88 on the Monsters of Rock tour in Alpine Valley Wisconsin--now that was a show. The true hard core heavy metal headbanger speed metal i grew up on. I guess you get a vision of something in your head and when something else comes along that contradicts it, it is hard for you to accept. i totally agree with whoever posted (sorry i dont remember) about the beauty of the misfits--they died before they could sell out, so they leave us with 50+ power songs and a lot of what ifs. You have to have something to wonder about or wish for, and that's what they did. Anyway, thanks for the insight about seeing the "other" side of getting popular, about maybe actually picking up some true fans who get into everything and not just the mainstream. If the music eventually changes their life, that's all that is important. That is how i look at Danzig and the fits. Of all places, i was in mexico for an internship the summer of 92, and one day i came into the office real early. no one was there so i started playing some old metallica. all of a sudden the receptionist came in and started banging her head and singing every word along with me. I couldnt believe it. turned out she (who i actually ended up dating) was a huge metal fan and loved danzig. i had never heard of him. i taped the stuff and never really listened to it. one day i just picked up D1 and D2 and got hooked. from there it has evolved to the misfits, and the whole thing has changed my life and my musical tastes. Kind of ironic if you ask me. Thanks to those who gave me internet tips. how could i not see the smiley face in this? :) I feel so dumb. ya live and ya learn. thanks to EVB (*again*) for the Hart Fisher information. Although i had some of my facts messed up, i am still pissed that i was the reason he met glenn in the first place, and now look at what transpired from there. they say what goes around comes around--guess i can just hope. i think the "Bible convention" would be a great idea--dont forget us here in the midwest, though. maybe we will just have our own and then we can compare like regional stories! i know that many of us are at universities. i dont know what happens over the summer, but hopefully some of us can continue to correspond on the bible. if not, maybe we can just mail individually back and forth. what does everyone think? Anyway, hope everyone out there is rockin' as usual. thanks for all the info and enjoyment. Beats dealing with walking dead i see every day out here.

Anyway, keep this thing going so I have something to come back to! See you next fall! Angela- ------------------------------ From: PDH1021@aol.com Date: Wed, 3 May 1995 23:37:22 -0400 Subject: Danzig Live First of all, many thanks to Chris Ternes for the tape of the recent Misfits interview--it's great! Jerry & Doyle sound like really nice guys & I wish them all the best. Onto Danzig: I was able to see them on 4/28 at The Sting--a large nightclub--in New Britain, CT, & the show was *great*. This is definitely the type of venue in which to see this band. Korn & Marilyn Manson were OK--you've all no doubt formed opinions about them at this point, so I won't bore you with the details. I should point out however that Mr. Manson is not high on my list of men I want to see sans pants!! ha ha. It was a weekend of *firsts* for me--my first time in the pit (for Danzig only--I had a table in the bar overlooking the stage for Korn & MM) & my first time seeing the same band two nights in a row (I went to the Wilkes-Barre show on 4/29). Anyway, the Sting was packed & it must have been 100 degrees (or more) in there, not that anyone cared. Everyone was dancing & sweating like the devil, but it didn't matter. Glenn must have been 10x hotter than us in that rubber shirt. The band seemed to be totally into the scene & Glenn was in rare form. He smiled a lot during the show & exhibited incredible energy. The band was really tight & focused. Glenn's never sounded better, IMHO. The show didn't end until after 1:00 a.m. & we then gathered our stuff from the car (to get signed) & ventured out to the phalanx of tour buses in back. Fortunately, not many people knew the drill, so we got at the end of a relatively small line to meet the Dark One. Eerie & John were nowhere to be seen, however, Joey Castillo appeared next to me at one point (I was the only one who seemed to recognize him!) & we exchanged a few words & a handshake. He was quite shy & seemed pleased that I'd liked his performance--I thought he was really good BTW. Anyway--at last--I met Glenn. I personally found him to be really friendly, soft-spoken & gracious. He signed a boat-load of stuff for me & it was quite easy to chit-chat with him. I then whipped out my Henry Rollins book & asked him to sign all the relevant pictures therein. He was fascinated by the book, as he said he hadn't yet seen it, & proceeded to read the pertinent portions & comment upon them. He also told me some stuff about upoming Verotik publications, etc. All in all, I found him to be really nice & , ahem! rather nice looking!--take that all you naysayers!!! My friend snapped a photo of us--I'm sure I'll look like a dweeb w/"mosh-pit head," but what the hell. On a funny note, there were a couple of guys in front of me in line who had thrown a shirt & a shoe at Glenn during the show--the former contained the guys car keys. Anyway, they were going to ask Glenn for the return of these respective items & the keys, as if he'd have them! One of the guys kept saying loudly that he was going to "kick Glenn's Ass" for "stealing his shoe". Needless to say, they were meek as lambs when they actually talked to him--it was too funny! Maybe you had to have been there... The Wilkes-Barre show the next night was TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Someone in the previous bible commented upon the gestapo-types ruling the venue, so I won't go into that again. It was a much bigger show/venue & one didn't get the same feeling of "closeness" with the band. Although Danzig kicked, I felt that they were much more *into it* at the previous night's show. I suppose if I hadn't seen both shows, I would have been quite pleased with the latter, however...I much preferred the smaller venue--1,300 people, PACKED, SWEATY & DANCING. (I suppose from the band's point of view, the revenues at a larger show are much more attractive...)

Nelson" Subject: stuff fiends- well i have been quite impressed by the last few bibles and i have been able to do nothing but sit back and read. i hate all of this shit that keeps going on about glenn being a dick. i have only had one encounter with him and that was when he opened for metallica in chicago last summer and that set my mind straight about him. i just think that it was amazing that he came out and sang london dongeon, green hell and last caress with metallica. i have never met glenn and not sure that i really would want to (not a big kick out of meeting stars {don't know why}). anyway i think that a bible convention would be cool but, alas, i am from the chicago land area so making a trip to DC would be a bit of a hassle. the convention should definitely be held in a place that is easiest for everyone (so if i cannot make it...that is my bad luck) one thing that i cannot understand is how you guys can continually go to see a band so many times in arow --does it ever get tiring or is it a different experience everytime? ohh well i have to study for finals so good luck to all of you that have them as for me i am already out of luck. angelfuck ------------------------------ From: WL261073@wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu Date: Thu, 04 May 1995 18:15:29 -0400 (EDT) Subject: BLACK PANTHERS?

Hope all of you guys have fun, and that you keep your asses rockin'. I hope I see you all next fall here, but I'd like to see you at some gathering this summer. EVB has got my address, so don't forget me when the time comes to party! Got my last radio shift of the semester tonight (thurs), and it's gonna be a Misfits/Samhain/Danzig night for sure!

Date: Thu, 4 May 1995 21:40:12 -0500 (CDT) Hey all, haven't posted in awhile... Just thought I'd share a quick story: About three years ago, I was reading the Chicago Sun-Times... I came across Rich Roeper's column (for those who don't know the Times, he's usually a very witty and funny journalist) and decided to read it. I don't rememeber the story EXACTLY, but it had something to do with teenagers and mental institutions. Something about him touring a mental instituion, I believe. Anyway, to make a long story short, he said at the last leg of his tour, he noticed one particular guy singing in his cell. He went over to his cell and listened in, and the words that the kid was singing were: "I got something to say, I raped your mother today Doesn't matter much to me, as long as she's spread I got something to say, I killed your baby today Doesn't matter much to me, as long as it's dead" Heh... And Roeper wrote something to the effect, "What's going to happen to our children if they grow up with thoughts like this?" Or some bullshit... Like I said, I'm not 100% positive on the whole story, but that's basically what he said... At the least, I know I saw the lyrics printed in his column! I'm going to go to the library and see if I can find it on microfiche or contact Roeper to see if he could mail it to me or something. The thing that REALLY pisses me off about all this is that the kid probably thought it was a Metallica song... :P Oh, BTW: If anyone in the mid-west is interested in meeting over the summer, let me know, maybe we could work out a little get together. I'm planning on going over to NJ/VA sometime, but for most of the summer, I'll be here in Chicago. Drop me a line, my account will active all summer. Later on... - CB ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 May 1995 22:47:52 -0400 From: She Subject: Pages I just added links to Dischord Records and Vinyl Ink Records Vinyl Ink's got some good stuff for sale - Beware And The Rest CD bootleg Undead 7"'s Horror Business 7" Mourning Noise live 7" If you can do WWW go to the Misfits page and then the other places link... mark ------------------------------ From: WL261073@wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu Date: Fri, 05 May 1995 11:54:10 -0400 (EDT) Subject: A personal story. Before the summer, I'd like to relate this cool store of the accomplishment of my college goals. All semester I have been behind the scenes (in the studio) of our college's own video show, Videoscope. Finally, the last show, our professor lets the backstage people. (there's me and this other guy and this girl) so, we get to sit out front with the host. The four of us each get to pick out a video to introduce, and the professor runs the show alone in the studio. The girl before me, (the host all semester) does a rap video, it sucks. Now it's my turn, I pick "Scapegoat" by Sky Cries Mary (they're good, BTW) But now it's time for my speech" "I'd like to show this video, but first, I want to say this: all semester I have been the secret mastermind behind this show! And All you who have watched have been my unwitting servants... BEYOND RACE, BEYOND RELIGION, BEYOND MAN'S FEARS. I AM THE END! (here I hold up a printout of the neverdie.gif from the web-page) EVIL NEVER DIES!!!!!!!!" So the video plays, and when we come back, it's another guy's turn, but as my other master, Marylin Manson, tought me, I motion slitting my wrists the whole time and whisper to the mic: "slit your wrists, kill yourself!" The guys in the studio, and the professor were cracking up, but we got about 6 phone calls of people complaining about me, and saying I was a "Disgrace to the campus" HA HA I said, Myu goals are accomplished! Sean M. ------------------------------ From: Misfits15@aol.com Date: Fri, 5 May 1995 21:48:26 -0400 Subject: stuff First of all: I like the idea of a Bible convention. I'd like to be able to meet some other bible members, but since i am 16, I'd probably end up not being able to go unless i could hitch a ride with an adult. My CD playlist varies quite a bit (are we still on this subject?), but here is a list of some of the bands I listen to (the first 6 or 7 are in order by my favs, but after that it's pretty much equal): Metallica, Megadeth, Misfits (obviously), Danzig, SOD, Pantera, Sepultura, Samhain, Ramones, Angry Fisherman, Body Farm, Crawl, Sun Dog, Motorhead, MOD, Melvins, Metal Sniff, Bane (Surprise, Don?), Slayer, Celtic Frost, Venom, the End, The Doors, Distress, Black Sabbath, and White Zombie. I also love going to local punk shows, as we have a steadily growing scene. Does anyone do this? Altoona has some great bands, and I'm sure that so do other areas, and if you don't go to punk shows, you may not know what you're missing(IMHO). Mark- Thanx for the Info on 4p. Ryan ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 06 May 1995 07:18:45 +0100 From: the one with the flaming skull Subject: misfits and punk and such wowza! misfits stuff galore! never thought i would find anything like this at the crack of dawn... well, i thought i would add my two cents. since bands like green day and the offspring have become popular, my friends and i have had many discussions about what punk exactly is. some of them think that the misfits were not technically punk because they talked about B horror films and all sorts of other random shit which was not part of some of the other themes which bands like the dead kennedys and black flag talked about. just curious to see what ya'll think... keep this page going. it's nice to know that i'm not the only one who still thinks that danzig and the rest of the crew is not dead. josho ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 May 1995 10:26:14 -0500 From: Lord Valgamon hola fiends, Tune into MTV's "Superock" tonight, 5/6/95.

Ok first about a Devilock I have worn one only when my hair is wet cuz then it begins to go out of place. If you look on some that are on Eerie and Doyle and Jerry they actually look either wet or greasy with gel or something when they got longer. Look at the pic on the back of the RETURN OF THE FLY bootleg or inside of FINAL DESCENT by Samhain. Also whats up with that Black Panther crap? That has no business on here and i see no connection between a black extremist group and the Misfits. Also this may be my last message. The company that supplies the dial in access I get to the InterNet has been bought out and is going to require a log on ID for use of their services which is like $30 bucks a month which I am not paying. I still may be able to access the place I mail from (Freenet.Grfn.Org) but I am still unsure about it so anyhow if this is my final message its been great and if not see ya'll next issue! ------------------------------ From: CTernes@aol.com Date: Sat, 6 May 1995 18:19:38 -0400 Subject: Kicked off Hey DGTL73B aka Evilive, Maybe you'll dig Prodigy, but in my opinion this AOL thing is better.

To all: After coming home from seeing James Moody live in concert, I walked in the door and flipped on Superock. There was Glenn doing an interview! Since it was the last few minutes of the show, I'd Really like to see the rest of it. So, if anyone taped it PLEASE e-mail me at CTernes@aol.com and perhaps we can work something out. Thanks! Chris ------------------------------ From: CTernes@aol.com Date: Sun, 7 May 1995 16:44:14 -0400 Subject: 3rd's the charm! Hey all, just a few comments: Hatebreeder: Scott Loftus? Last time I heard from him he was the overnight DJ on Rock 103.5--damn I miss metal radio. WVVX--The reason I got into Danzig...sniff RIP. That Bible Convention sounds great....now I just have to figure out how to get there...grrrr Dave, I've got that "The Complete Singles" CD. I can't see why they'd sell two at once. The cool thing about it is Evilive is on it. The 7" version. Other than that, it's just the songs, several of which have cut off beginnings or ends. My playlist: White Zombie--Astro Creep 2000 Danzig--4P Faith No More--King For A Day, Fool For a Lifetime Fight--A Small Deadly Space Grip Inc.--Power of Inner Strength Carnivore--Retaliation/Carnivore Does anyone know the name of the Meatmen album w/Glenn on the cover? I think it's just called "The Meatmen," just making sure. Finally, I thought some of you may enjoy this....a few movie reviews by the great Glenn Danzig (this is a direct quote, nothing changed). "Basketcase"--this movie is great, gorey, gruesome, hilarious, what else can I say. If this plays in your town go see it. Low budget but high quality throughout. THE MONSTER in this is so cool. He's really ugly and has one of the most warped sense of humor. He tries to fuck a girl and the results are far less tha successful. More like a bloody bang. THIS IS A MUST!! "Creepshow"--Big letdown from George Romero (the guy who made Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead). The stories aren't scary, the movie isn't gorey and the special effects are wasted by the stupid "?red and blue?" lighting effects. They flash red and blue lights whenever it gets a little violent. There are 5 stories in all, but the opening of the movie "kicks ass" on all of 'em "The Crate" and "They're Creeping Up On You" are the standouts in an otherwise slow film. "Road Warrior"--This is the sequel to Mad Max, but that's where the similarities end. Mad Max was boring but ROAD WARRIOR is the ultimate statement on survival in the not-too-distant future. Scavenging mohawk-men riding the highways of the wasteland, searching for new victims. Hunting out the scarcestoof all things, 'GAS' MAX really gets fucked over in this one but manages to survive it all (he ends up looking like a walking contusion). Plenty of harsh brutality, violence, rape, murder, and death. All the things that await you in post-war life. I've seen this five times, at ten I'll lay off for a while. See this at least once. Halloween III doesn't even deserve a full review. This one sucks and the night he came home he should have visited Debra Hill and John Carpenter. Glenn Danzig Hope you dug it!

And when you think about that, you say to yourself "Damn, he's right"--James Moody ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 May 1995 17:41:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Gabriel Palczewski Subject: Glenn on SUPEROCK I saw Glenn on SUPEROCK (on MTV) and it was awsome. Although I think they could of talked longer it was still cool. He did talk about the Misfits for about 1 minute and how it was a start for him and he is glad they have withstood the era and still loved today and what gets him mad is when kids come to concerts with bootlegs of the real thing they bought for $120 dollars and even mentioned in the background how it would be better if more of it was out there. Glenn also told some interesting things like at the first Danzig show ever 2 guys were posing as Glenn Danzig and Eerie Von in front of the place they played and fooling people and Eerie even went over to them and said "Woah! Your Eerie Von! Can I have your autograph?" and the guy gave it to him not even knowing it was Eerie. Glenn also mentioned a few other tidbits about the band and his comic book company. It was a cool show and they also played snipits of live Danzig footage, and in their entirety the "Mother '93" video and the "I Don't Mind The Pain" video. ------------------------------ From: ols@home.interaccess.com Date: Thu, 4 May 1995 15:15:20 -0600 Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #79 Brent..I'm sorry, i didn't really mean shitty...I just meant that you don't need to put lots of effort into the tape.. but, hey..Whatever floats yer boat :) again I'm sorry if i offended you or whatever.. > To all of the people who stuck it out for the first twenty issues, I'd > just like to point out that Jem and the Holograms kick butt! is the bringing up of that band because the rival band was a band called the Misfits?? Or were they in Barbie?? Yeah...Misfits Bible convention sounds cool...I agree with Hatebreeder tho'..what about us in the Midwest? If we did have one in DC and one in the Midwest..the Midwest one would suck! In the area where EVB and Mark are--that's where it's at. they got most knowledge i believe...and connections to the Misfits!! oh well.. one more thing-- Why does everyone always write to tell about their experiences at "last night's Danzig show" or whatever night..blah blah.. it's taking up about 2/3 of the bible..

Who played what on the album, and where did they come from and where did they go. And why'd Danzig get rid of Steve Zing (if that's what happened). it seems they must still get along if he's helping on the Samhain box set. I had always thought maybe Damien and London were studio musicians who just played on the album and never toured with Samhain, but I just realized I was just assuming this with no basis, so I thought I'd try to find out the real story. Personally, I like the drums in alot of the album (whoever is playing it) although I think the guitar leaves a little to be desired. I also don't think the quality of III is all that good, worse than that of Initium or Unholy Passion which I find strange. Thanks to anybody who can help me out here. oh yeah, my band plays Last Caress (misfits style) and Night of.., I'll see what I can do about recording it, our last show ever will be a week from tuesday cuz our singer/guitar player is getting kicked out of school. somebody let me know if you want me to record one/both of these. thanx Pum ------------------------------ From: Danzig4192@aol.com Date: Mon, 8 May 1995 10:53:23 -0400 Subject: I Finally Got To Meet G.D. Haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd bring you all up to speed: Just met Glenn in a comic book store in Charlotte, NC where he was promoting his new line of comics..you had to buy one of them in order to qualify for an autograph (have to sell them somehow I suppose) so I bought a Satanika 1 for 5 bucks and waited in line.... The first thing that impressed me is how SHORT he is..I knew he was 5'2" but that still didn't prepare me for his littleness (looked like a Danzig doll)....he was very polite to everyone (the tons of security encouraged everyone to be polite to him)...I had him sign the comic, the free poster that came with the comic (of the cover), and my Walk Among Us LP...I asked him if I could show him my tattoo (montage of Samhain skull surrounded by skeletons and crimson ghosts)...he said "sure.." followed by "You're not going to take your pants off or anything are you?".....pretty funny coming from Danzig IMHO...he liked my ink saying it was original and he did not like tattoos that directly copied album art..and that was it..I moved on..I didn't go to the show as my girlfriend got called in to work (she is a nurse) and she couldn't get out of it and I didn't feel like going solo (would have had to hang out in Charlotte of 5 hours waiting for show to start)..I know it is lame but I saw him earlier on this tour so I chose to wimp out other Danzig quotes I heard at store...If you don't see him on this tour you are outta luck as they won't play the states again for at least 2 years...on to Europe, South America, Japan, and rest of Asia and back to studio first Frazetta will not be doing any pencilling for him, just covers (I kinda figured as much) Andy ps I got my LP's from Ceng's little auction and they are in great shape, I am quite pleased so if anyone else was thinking of doing business with him..go ahead! ------------------------------ From: EevilDon@aol.com Date: Mon, 8 May 1995 17:31:21 -0400 Subject: tribute here's the list of bands/songs on the tribute so far: london dungeon, we are 138/ bane she, bullet/ exit only she/ phreeks earth ad, mommy.../ ?
