Hello! sunday Forced Exposure 7/8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Beaulac, Jody (Temp)" Subject: Record Stores Date: Tue, 11 Jul 95 09:24:00 PDT Question for all of you: I'm from Boston and have been going to the same record stores for years now. They get new stuff in a lot, but I'm wondering...does anyone know of any other real cool ones in the area? Or in the New England/New York area? The best one that I've come across so far was Taang! Records...though their prices were too high. They moved it to San Diego though (check it out if you live there). Now I seem to keep ending up at Second Coming Records on Mass. Ave in Harvard Square. Please help me out here...I'm running out of Misfits stuff to buy! ------------------------------ From: EevilDon@aol.com Date: Tue, 11 Jul 1995 09:28:09 -0400 Subject: good question first heard mother in "88 or "89 loved it. then a couple years later, i picked up how the gods kill after seeing some live danzig stuff, yeah, on mtv. then i remembered that there was this killer song by danzig that i heard several years prior but didn't know what it was called so i eventually bought all the albums looking for it. several months after that i decided to check out the misfits. the only album i could find was walk among us so i picked it up and liked it alot. then a couple months later, a friend of a friend let me borrow initium. i was blown away. so from then to now i've grabbed just about all i can relating to the three bands my pals and i refer to as the "unholy trinity". the only time i've ever seen the misfits live is on video and i saw danzig in nofolk a couple months ago. never seen samhain live. anybody got any good samhain live videos? good idea warren! hope everybody is still awake! evb, how'd you get into all this stuff? later. Don "Evil" Dieffenbach ------------------------------ From: MisfiFiend@aol.com Date: Tue, 11 Jul 1995 16:52:38 -0400 Subject: a few things Did Bobby Steele really die of AIDS? I was talking to a kid whom I just met, and we got to talking about the Misfits, and about the aspects of the musicians, and when i mentioned Bobby Steele, he said that he saw in a magazine (Rip, or one like it) that Bobby Steele was dead. Also, He said that when he met Chuck Biscuits a few years back, and asked him about DOA, Circle Jerks, etc., Chuck also said that he was also in the Misfits very temporarily. Also, a comic book dealer said that at a convention, Glenn was looking for an exorcist because he had made a deal with a demon for success for danzig. BODY FARM- a great hardcore band. for an 11 song demo, send 5 bux to Shawn Doran 1011 2nd ave. Altoona, PA 16602 ps. he also will give you some cool stickers. pps if you send him a stamp, he'll send you his Riot City Fanzine go ahead, write to him, they're really good ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jul 1995 23:25:24 -0500 (CDT) From: Lord Valgamon Subject: Devil on the left, An angel on the right... Hohoho... pick up the July '95 issue of Details magazine (Which incidentally is their fifth annual music issue) and turn to page 60 for "Rock Solid - Glenn Danzig pumps up his volume," a fitness article in which Glenn explains his ENTIRE weekly workout schedule in over-excessive detail. (Gee... maybe that's why they call the magazine DETAILS?) :) Ha ha, I know, bad joke. Along with some really kooky pictures of our main man, I was most amused by the caption at the bottom of the page: "Glenn Danzig doesn't mind the pain." You should check it out... the rest of the magazine is really good too. -- Lord Valgamon 1-800-241-7337 ext 1673# Keyprint = 89 66 DE 00 B5 20 49 0F 24 59 76 05 BA FC 45 70 - ID 8D542C89 "From a Profane Existence ...

Not exactly...The Ramones have put out some pretty shitty albums during the 80's. (and I'm a Ramones fan) > From: EevilDon@aol.com > > sorry but i don't believe jerry wrote any of the misfits music other wise he > would've writen some over the past 13 years. Excuse me, but my understanding is that Jerry (& Doyle) wrote most of the music ... EVB, I was reading through my original post and it still seems to me that your reply is very loosely connected to it...and by the way, wait until I ask you about your credentials :) and then give them to me (I don't think you *had* to tell us... ). Still, I read your reply (all of it). You have some good points and I agree partly.

The first time I ever heard Danzig was on an old radio station called WVVX around here. I forgot what they called them, but they'd go for hours playing 3 songs in a row by bands (blocks?). Danzig was one of them....Lucifuge era....and I loved the band since. First concert was July 3, 1994. The last time they were in Chicago was the same day I had to go to a wedding (I was NOT pleased at all). I didn't care for the set, and since I owned no bootlegs at the time, I just assumed Danzig was a poor live band. Boy was I wrong! The set wasn't too bad, except during "Mother" a mosh pit/brawl started right behind me, and the incline of the lawn was so steep that if you were bumped you flew and hit concrete. I stayed safe, the girl I was with nearly got killed. This was also my first Misfits experience, Glenn came out and jammed on 3 songs with Metallica. A few jock assholes were actually booing during "London Dungeon", so for a bit of the song I couldn't hear too well, he did eventually shut up after the majority of the people were staring at him giving him the evil eye and such. Any of you Prodigy people remember the good old BB days when we'd post our guesses on the lyrics? I still laugh at "Green Hell" . Chris The Idiot Police!!!! ------------------------------ From: Ralph Herbert Date: Fri, 14 Jul 1995 12:57:29 +0200 Subject: Earth AD question Hi. Can anybody tell me what the Earth AD/Wolfsblood/Evilive cd (official German release by Agressive Rockproduktionen, came out in '91) sells for in the US????? CTernes: A song title which is shared by Suicidal and Danzig? Well, the only ST title that comes close is Possessed from the first album, but that's not quite the same as Possession, right? Anybody seen Glen E. Friedman's "Fuck You Heroes" photobook? It contains lots of cool skate, hardcore and rap pictures. There's Black Flag, Suicidal, Jello Biafra, Ice-T, Public Enemy etc. etc. Unfortunately no Misfits pictures, but you can't have it all. "I'm not anti-society, society's anti-me I'm not anti-religion, religion is anti-me I'm not anti-tradition, tradition is anti-me I'm not anti-anything, I just wanna be free" (ST) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jul 1995 14:57:19 EDT From: RDYR69C@prodigy.com (GLENN H DANZIG) Subject: Cartoon Misfits!!!! Just the other day I remembered something curious from my childhood days... Does anyone remember and old cartoon called Jem and the Holograms? It was a cartoon that was pretty much designed for girls about these two all female bands, Jem and the Holograms(good girls) and the other was the Misfits (bad girls). Since this was an 80's 'toon, all the music was pretty much sucky glam rock music, but nonetheless, the Misfits were always the band I rooted for sonce I liked the bad girl bit. All the girls had these wild purple and green hairspray cuts along with net stockings and little metal spikes and studs. Anyone think it's possible that maybe some wiseass purposely made a connection with our Misfits? -Psycho 78 ------------------------------ From: "Robinson, James Che" Date: Sat, 15 Jul 1995 22:03:16 GMT-5 Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #91 ok the undead played in indpls on the 8th and well they need to rethink the tour. why you may ask. well the sounded like shit. i hate to say it but it is true.. and please take me off this mailing list ------------------------------ From: Burkhard Jaerisch Subject: BIBLE #100!! Date: Sun, 16 Jul 95 18:00:16 MESZ hey, did anyone else note that we're approaching bible #100 at light speed? will there be a special "best of" bible? any proposals? cheers flex ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Jul 1995 15:51:38 -0400 From: EVB Subject: RE:Misfits Bibles #89/90 & how it all started for me.... First off, a bit of news on Glenn's publishing company Verotik for those who are interested - managing editor Hart Fisher has been sacked, don't know why yet (maybe all the printing errors in Satanika #2) so hopefully this won't screw up their publishing schedule again when they were just beginning to get things out steadily! Steve Wardlaw (formerly of Tundra) is now in charge long distance from Massachusetts. At least we'll be spared Hart's pompous, self-inflated editorials from now on! I'd also advise against trying to order anything directly until they get things straightened out (I'm still waiting on the T-shirts I ordered a few months back...) I also hear that Death Dealer #1 should finally be shipped to the stores from the printer July 15th... Comments on Bible #89: Overall, I REALLY enjoyed everybody's responses to the whole "left hand" question - it was very informative! Warren A. Propst - other Satanic bands besides Deicide? How about Marilyn Manson (Reverend Manson was ordained in the Church of Satan by Anton LaVey) and the Electric Hellfire Club? Scott Cummings - agree on your recommendation on the Rollins book! I enjoyed that as well as all his other books (I actually like his writing a lot better than his music). For anybody with web access, Rollin's publishing Company 2.13.61 has a web site at: http://www.earthlink.net/~two1361/ HororHotel - thanks VERY much for posting the Danzig interview - I think that's the first time he's actually ever mentioned his first band Talus in print! CTernes - likewise thanks VERY much for the Misfits interview - one I didn't have!!!! RE: Bible #90: Cternes - definitely agree with ya on Lollapalooza. I went to the first one to see NIN & Janes Addiction (unfortunately missed Rollins due to the traffic jam ) & I had a miserable time between the heat, the sun & having to stand in line for 2 hours to buy tickets to exchange for overpriced bottles of water after I stood in another line for another hour and a half. It was really badly run & I swore up and down I'd never go again. (and of course I'm generally allergic to things like "sunlight", "sweltering summer heat" and "outside") Thanks for info on Samhain CD bootleg - 'tis news to me! Will have to keep an eye out for it. Goatboy - The Necronomicon was a fictional book frequently mentioned in the short stories of H.P. Lovecraft (early 20th century horror writer), said to be penned by "the mad Arab" Abdul Alhazared, which was full of spells to conjure up hideous ancient creatures referred to as "the great old ones". Many other writers latched on to Lovecraft's invention & referenced it in their own works (and added along similar invented tomes), especially those writers adding more stories to Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos" tales as well as more gods to his hideous ancient pantheon. Today there are several versions claiming to be the "real" Necronomicon, one of which can even be found in chain bookstores like B.Dalton's! Nick Wojciechowski - "Last Caress" originally appeared on the British 12" "Beware" which came out in 1979 and also contains most of the songs that had been released on the "Bullet" and "Horror Business" singles in the USA in 78/79. Unfortunately this 12" is VERY rare and sought after, and when the original can be found it generally sells for at least $200. There are also several bootlegged vinyl versions of it on 7" & 12" format; one of the 12" boots is almost identical to the original (so I always strongly caution anybody looking to buy one of the originals to watch out for it!) . So unless you get extremely lucky or are prepared to shell out some serious bucks, you might want to consider looking for a boot of it instead. It's included on the CD "Beware and the Rest" which IMHO is the most useful Misfits CD bootleg collecting all the rare & pricey singles. CTernes - Hmm, I'm not real familiar with Suicidal but I like your contest idea. How's about a similar contest? I'll do up a cool tape (winners choice) OR a promo Satanika poster autographed by Glenn to the first person who can give me BOTH song titles shared by Danzig and the Sisters of Mercy! HororHotel - I'd always wondered about that, hmm, guess that explains the pix of gals wearing saddles and bridles in one of my Helmut Newton photography books (it was either "Sleepless Nights" or "White Women" - he's a fantastic photographer but kinda weird) Tony1013 - Glad ya enjoy the posts! As for tons of Grateful Dead fans adopting Misfits shirts - there's a possibility that maybe some of them they just like the imagery with all the skulls etc as the Dead have always used lots of skeletal designs. (In fact as I personally can't stand the Dead many is the time I've rued the fact that they had such great imagery) RE: Bible convention, well, there was never an actual con planned. I'd offered to host a smallish get-together (i.e. however many folks can cram in Liz's apartment for a few hours) but when I asked what would be good dates I got no response. Right now I'd suggest that maybe all interested folks start planning for a get together to coincide with the eventual new Misfits show (Halloween in NYC or thereabouts?) Warren A. Propst - good idea for a thread! Hmm, my first Misfits listening experience.... Probably around 1986 when I walked into Vinyl Ink Records & George was playing an early 7" (I'm sure it was "Three Hits from Hell") - I liked it & left because I knew their stuff was rare & pricey & I didn't want to get addicted (heheheheehee sez Liz however many thousands of bucks later) - I was already a HUGE Sisters of Mercy collector and spending all my $ on their stuff (some of those are as scarce as Misfits records!). Time passed, then when "Walk Among Us" was reissued I bought it right away, having heard it was a "classic". For whatever reason I played it once, it didn't grab me (too fast & didn't sound like what I'd heard before & I was probably in a mood) and I shelved it. Then came the life-changing experience. My friend Greg called me up after the first Danzig album came out and said "I know you hate metal but there's this album you have to hear. I'll send you a copy if you promise me you'll listen to it." I said OK & he sent me a tape of the 1st LP, cued up so that the first thing I heard was "Soul on Fire". And I was INSTANTLY hooked by that gorgeous deep dark voice that sucked me in like a moth drawn to the flame and left me hungry for more. (Funny aside on the tape he sent me - it was an extra from his friend Chris who kept buying more. After however many plays he claimed that "the evil wore off" so he'd buy a new copy!) Couldn't stop there; did some research & found out about Glenn's earlier bands and immediately scoured the stores for everything I could get by The Misfits and Samhain and pulled "Walk Among Us" back out & enjoyed it a lot more after a few spins. Back down at Vinyl Ink I realized the frightening truth - that many of the best Misfits 'tunes were only on their old 7"s, so I started buying 'em up as I could find them, and before ya knew it I'd mutated into one of those crazed collector fiends whose life wouldn't be complete until I had EVERYTHING! (I'm still a few items shy of completion but I'm working on it!). Looking back I'm glad II had something I could throw myself into so deeply at that point of my life as it was around then that my father committed suicide & my whole world turned upside down. At that lowest point it was my black sense of humor fueled by the 'Fits tunes that kept me sane and pulled me thru (and annoyed my remaining family to no end) Anyway, I missed seeing Danzig on their first tour because of the family bit. So I swore up and down I'd make up for lost time, and by the time they announced the Lucifuge tour I was determined to drive to "as many shows as I could possibly go to". So along with ultra-fiend Johnny Favorite a/k/a Jonathan Grimm we made it to 11 shows that summer & I made it to another 7 that fall. My first Danzig show was in July of 1990 at Bogart's in Cincinnati and completely blew me away.....and there have been 71 more since! Sorry if it's turned into the personal confessions of "Misfits Anonymous" but I figured some of ya might wanna hear it. Hope to hear how the rest of you first got into 'em!. Several more VERY long posts to follow as soon as I get a chance to type them up, my phone has been rining off the hook this week & I have a lot of new news direct from Bobby & Jerry! -EVB ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 95 21:24:28 -0700 From: Gala Subject: sound file on Misfits Central 10.WAV : Has anybody figured out what this is? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 1995 10:08:21 -0100 From: "Jake Starr/ADAM WEST" Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #91 --part_AC2FE7150001527F00000003 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Disposition: Inline SO - The Undead are playing!!!! > > First show this Sunday (16th) night in Baltimore at Club Midnight (2549 > N. > Howard, between 25th & 26th), doors open at 6 PM i know! i saw the flyer for this show saturday when i was record shopping in Baltimore. unfortunately, i had a another engagement last nite so i missed the show. i'm surprised they're not playing dc, like the black cat. anyway, thanks for the tip! jake *************************** Jake Starr/ADAM WEST c/o Fandango Records 1805 T Street, NW #A Washington, DC 20009-7128 (202) 483-0065 eMAIL: jyas@loc.gov *************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 1995 19:56:28 -0400 From: EVB Subject: News on the Misfits!! More news to report for y'all (every relasted group checked in this week....); had a long talk with Jerry last Thursday so I've got a lot of exciting news on the Misfits to report: 1) They do have Dave Vanian coming in to see them & are really hoping this will work out (I am REALLY hoping it will - I think Vanian is a a great singer and has a GREAT stage presence - I've loved the Damned since the day their 1st import single of "New Rose" arrived in the record store I worked in back in high school, and plus he is FANTASTIC in concert!!!!) 2) A gig at the Limelight on Halloween is out tho as Type O Negative have it booked already - apparently the Misfits were offered a slot opening for Type O but naturally they'd rather headline, especially for their comeback! 3) First release will be the "Static Age" album on Halloween from Caroline. Basil Gogos has just finished the cover painting which is of Jerry getting struck by lightening, sounds cool. I'm so excited that they've gotten him to work for them -it's just so very appropriate to the whole "horror" feel that they've been able to get the very same artist that did so many of the fantastic "Famous monsters of Filmland" covers. (Anybody else here grow up on those? when I was a kid I used to eagerily scarf that up every month, along with "Eerie", "Creepy" and "Vampirella"!) Jerry was able to sit in & help out on the mastering so he was able to get exactly the sound he wanted on it. Hopefully I 'll be getting a tape of it from him very soon and I can give you guys a sneak peak review - I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to this! 4) Also they will be doing a 45 of "Teenagers" (Static Age version); on the B side instead of another track will be an etched skull in the vinyl. 5) They are working on a series of movie pilots, taking old B films & hosting them in the tradition of Zacherly; it would be a tongue in cheek kinda thing poking fun at them like Mystery Science Theater but instead will give lots of information on the films & cast, like what the folks involved did afterwards. They've got 3 films so far - The Crawling Eye, Horror Hotel and the Hideous Sun Demon (all good choices!!).. They will have guests on there including Basil Gogos & the director of Hideous Sun Demon who they are flying in from California. For a studio they have renovated a barn & turned it into a huge dungeon set, so they'll be filming in there. They are hoping to either get a network interested or syndicate on TV, if not they will release as a series of videotapes. 6) He's anxious to get on line - said Doyle's wife had just gotten a computer so could I tell him how to get on the net. I wrote him up some suggestions of various options & gave him instructions on how to join the Bible & find the web site and I stressed how many fans are involved, especially with the Bible & how eager they are for news so it would be FANTASTIC if he could actually join us & give info first hand. Wowza.... my head is spinning from all this..... Now my roomies are teasing me & when the phone rings they say "who is it, another Misfit"? -EVB I also have a MAJOR announcement to make next week, so please sit tight until the next bible. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 1995 19:40:58 -0400 From: EVB Subject: UNDEAD NEWS!!! Got a call out of the blue last Wednesday from Bobby Steele & was really happy to finally hear from him as it had been about a year and a half since I had. Heard what he'd been up to - he'd put the band on hold and had been engaged to a girl but unfortunately she left him so the wedding was off and he got the band back together (which is good for us fans at least who have been missing him and wondering what happened!) and he wanted to let me know that he'd be playing a few shows! So, as you might have guessed from the "special emergency broadcast" bible I asked Mark to send out in case anybody in the area was interested in going, they played on Saturday at Club Midnite in Baltimore. Met up there with a bunch of fiends including Mark Kenndy, Mike Priddy, James Lair & Jonathan Grim and a great time was had by all! Those of us that got there early got to sit in on the soundcheck as well which included "Where Eagles Dare" which sent goosebumps up my spine as I could feel that old Misfits magic working.... (And the set they played last night also included RATTFINK, Horror Business, I Turned Into a Martian and Last Caress! My one regret is that they didn't do "Slave to Fashion" which is my fav Undead tune.) Damn he is one helluva guitarist! They'll also b playing Wednesday the 19th in Lanaster PA - I'm not sure where yet but Bobby said he'd call me and give me directions so if anybody is interested in that e-mail me and I'll try to help! They will also be playing in New York City on the 29th at Brownies. (I've also got a friend of mine in Charlotte, NC trying to sent up a date or two down there - Bobby said he'd be interested if we could get a club down there interested! If that happens it will mean ROADTRIP!) He's got another side project he's working on as well called "Times Square" with a guy named Dave from a band called the Devil Dogs, and an ex-girlfriend named Jill who is apparently a pretty famous female boxer (?) who recently became the first woman to win the "Golden Gloves". He says it sounds like a cross between the Undead and the first Blondie album; 60's girl group sound wth hard edged guitar. He's interested in getting on-line as well; he's got a computer and a modem but not hooked to the 'net YET but hopefully soon! I brought him a print out of Mark Kennedy's Misfts book so he was able to go over that with Mark & add in some info and make some corrections; also gave him print outs of the last half dozen or so Bibles for some reading material! I encouraged him to join us; also hopefully very soon we'll be able to get his merchandise list up in the Bible and on Mark's web page since I know a lot of you have been having trouble finding Undead records. And yes, major bargain on the shirts there - only $10 (VERY pleasant surprize for me!!! OK OK I relent, there are some major indie bargains out there, plus I do feel better giving the $ directly to the artist so they get all the profits directly). - EVB ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 95 11:00:06 From: Andreas Viehoff Subject: Hello! Hi, this is my first contribution to the Bible: Ill start with a big "HELLO" from Duesseldorf in Germany. Who was it that asked for my first experience with Danzig/Misfits/Samhain?? Well, I guess it was around the time that Lucifuge was introduced and I saw that video for "Her black wings" on Headbangers Ball (or whatever it was called by then): It blew me away. From then on it was a question of 2 or 3 months to get a grip on whatever I could get on Glenn Danzig and what he had done before. The different Bands appeal to my different moods: Danzig gives me the power, Misfits is the kind of music I listen to when having a party with my friends, fast driving in my car, having fun. Samhain appeals to my darker sides.... What about the Home-Video for Lucifuge?? This may sound funny, strange or even impossible to you, but Ive never seen that one in a shop. First time I found out that such a thing exists was when entering the Danzig Homepage. was this Video released in Europe/Germany?? Am I blind, dumb, def or customer in the wrong shops?? Another topic: How do you like the comics?? Ive only read three issues (Jaguar God, Verotika, Satanika). No offend, but I only liked Jaguar God. The story of Satanika was a bit "simple", though I kinda liked the artwork. The stories in Verotika were great, but the artwork....sucked. How are the others, are they worth subscribing at my local comic dealer? Genitorturers: Ive seen their show twice here in Germany, but I cant get any info on them. Anybody who knows where to look?? Your god bless you, mine bless me. Andreas ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 1995 00:25:43 -0400 From: She Subject: sunday well, evb took a lot of words out of my mouth, and i'm glad because i didn't want to type forever tonight. but, let me just say a few things about sunday. first, bobby steele has got to be one of the nicest guys i ever met. he was so friendly and knowledgeable, and no matter what some unsubscriber said in a previous message, he put on a great show. and i waited 6 hours at that club to see it, so i know what i'm talking about. so bobby really helped me out on the old misfits discog and i spent most of today updating it. it won't be on the page for a while, but it'll get there. so anyone curious? here's what they played: I'm So Happy In Eighty Four I Don't Wanna Do It Anymore (new song, i probably have the title wrong) Verbal Abuse Shadows Invisible Man The Way We Behave I Turned Into A Martian Put YOur Clothes Back On When The Evening Comes Never Say Die My kinda Town There's A Riot In Tompkins Square Horror Business Eve Of Destruction No Vices Rat Fink (or as the undead call it R.A.T.T. F.I.N.k.) I WAnt YOu Dead (requested by my pal mike and me) so it was a great show. the audience for the most part was dead. in fact, if it weren't for evb's quick action, 11 of us wouldn't have been there. unfortunately 11 was a third of the audience. yes it's true, just 33 people there, most of the kids seemed more interested in hearing misfits covers even though this band was called "THE UNDEAD". it was funny to see the flyer listing them as "THE UNDEAD, formerly the misfits". i got a lot of new undead stuff that i hadn't been able to find and evb is definitely correct about slave to fashion. it's been in my head all day. killer song. for the most part, the audience seemed to be the same as the horror convention opening night in nj from april. johnathon grimm, evb and her crew, chris lair, mike p, and ... me. also a bonus at the undead show was Billy Whitfield, who some of you have traded with. i had never seen him before and i guess i should have expected to see him there. on a side note, a friend of mine has some stuff for sale. she needs some money, so some of the prices might seem high to people who aren't used to dealing in Misfits material: Initium (first press, red vinyl) $80 Samhain - Live '85 CD bootleg (only Samhain CD boot) $25 Die Die 12" - best offer Legacy Of Brutality LP 1st print - best offer Earth A.D. reissue LP - best offer November Coming Fire reissue LP (but she'll throw in the original lyric sheet) - best offer I believe that's all. Email me if you're interested and I"ll relay it to her. About the condition, I havent' seen those records in years (i found them all for her) but they're in very good condition. so that's all, right? wrong, i typed up the very best Samhain article I've ever read. I think it's necessary reading for anyone who likes Samhain and anyone who is curious about the end of the Misfits... so I'll send that momentarily. mark ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 1995 00:28:14 -0400 From: She Subject: Forced Exposure 7/8 FORCED EXPOSURE #7/8 SAMHAIN INTERVIEW, By Byron Coley and Jimmy Johnson AT GLENN'S HOUSE, LODI, N.J. 10/27/84 GLENN DANZIG EERIE VON STELLMAN STEVE ZING BYRON JIMMY Glenn: Yeah, we're recording a new 12". It's called Unholy Passion. It will be different than Initium... I know there will be at least two songs that are kinda weird. We do a remake of "All Hell Breaks Loose" -- the way we do it live. Byron: How do you mean, weird? Glenn: Just different than what we normally do. We're experimenting more. It will still sound like Samhain and it will still have a lot of power, and loud and everything... but it's just moving into different areas. Jimmy: More rhythmic sutff? Glenn: There's one song that is...it's really hard for me to explain the stuff the band is doing now because it doesn't fit into any of the categories that everybody is working in right now... it's a definitive sound... Byron: You think it's better than the last one (Initium)? Glenn: I liked the last one but this stuff is kinda different so that's why I would say I like it more. Jimmy: How about this "uneven production" stuff that some guy in D.C. mentioned... Glenn: Oh, you mean Tesco... well, we don't want every song to sound the same. That kinda defeats the purpose of having ten different songs. It's that old punk rock attitude -- every song should sound the same. I don't really think that way -- we're trying to get away from that. Byron: Is it your tendency to lay down all the basic tracks in one session and handle them all real differently? Glenn: I think about production way before I even record a song... about how each one will be... Byron: On Initium it almost sounded like some of the stuff was done in different studios... each song almost had a different ambience. Glenn: It's just the way the song is done... not all the songs were done at the same time. The whole thing is -- when you're producing a song you want to do something different with each one. And that means something has to take a back seat when another thing is pushed up in volume. You can't have everything blasting. When you want certain things to be heard, something else has to come down. "Archangel" has two bass tracks. When we do it live, our guitar player straps on another bass and I put on a guitar. Some people are like, "What are you doing?! Blah blah blah..." Well, those people can go see Johnny and the Hardcores -- don't come see us. If they want the Johnny and the Hardcores' album where everything sounds the same, they they can go buy it... JImmy: Have you ever played guitar on stage before? Previous to Samhain? Glenn: Well, in other bands before the Misfits... I've played guitar for a long time. Jimmy: How about time-wise? Did you spend a lot more hours recording than with the Misfits? Glenn: Yeah, but in some aspects not really because Walk Among Us took a real long time. When you hear that record -- that was the third time that thing was recorded. The only Misfits thing that was done under budget... I don't know what came in under budget with Misfits's stuff. (laughs) Eerie: Nothing. Byron: Over how long was Initium done? Glenn: Well the studio we used (Reel Platinum in Lodi) is alwasy backed up two months in advance. So we'd go in thinking we could finish it up and then we'd run out of time, so we'd have to wait another two months to get more time in the studio. Byron: I was real happy that the speed was back down... Jimmy: Yeah, a lot of that stuff on Earth A.D. was just too much... Glenn: It was just too fast. That's whay I was really depressed after that album. I just didn't want anything to do with that band. Some of the stuff on Initium is even too fast for us, so we might re-record some of it and slow it down. Jimmy: How about the musicianship of the band live, is it a lot better than the Misfits? Glenn: Oh yeah, most of the people who come up to me after a show will say, "You're in a real band now", things like that... because he (Eerie) actually plays bass. And he's only been playing since last January ('84). Jerry (Only/Misfits) was playing for how long? And he didn't care about doing fifths or octave notes or runs or anything. He couldn't be bothered doing any of that. Live, sometimes, he didn't really care if he was playing or not. If he forgot where he was he would just let everyone bang on the bass. That was his way of saying "Ill get out of this." Jimmy: Did you start out with the ideaof Samain or was it going to the Glenn Danzig solo project? Glenn: It started out as Samhain. That was the one of the main names that I really wanted... Jimmy: How long did you have that name in the back of your head? Glenn: For a while. I've been studying Samhain for the last two years -- it's something I've always wanted to do, and information on it is real hard to come by and it's expensive when you do come across it -- and I had the song "Samhain" so it felt right. Me and Eerie would always talk about how we weren't really happy with the bands we were in... Eerie: I'd call up and we'd talk for three hours about how things sucked in the band and how they should be better. Glenn: So originally, Eerie played drums and we were going through guitarists and bass players. Eventually though, I got Steve (Zing) from Mourning Noise on drums, and I taught Eerie bass 'cause he had a real good image on stage and stuff. I knew I could teach him bass in a month, it's so easy. Byron: Originally we had heard rumors that you would be moving a couple hours closer to D.C. and be playing with Brian and Lyle. Glenn: That was a long time ago when I was thinking of doing a band with Brian and Lyle and that didn't work out. I only went down to two rehearsals in D.C. and the reherasals I went to really sucked. Jimmy: Were you working with a drummer? Glenn: When I went down there, they didn't have a drummer. They brought Jeff (Nelson/Minor Threat) in for a while. Jimmy: So they already had the idea for a band and they wanted you instead of the other way around? Glenn: They told me, "We want a real singer." Byron: But it was gonna be mostly their material? Glenn: Originally, they said, "The whole thing you're doing with your lyrics" -- and everything I write about -- "is great." And they came up here and played me some of their songs. And the stuff sounded pretty good. When I got down to D.C. they still hadn't gotten a drummer. As far as a bass player goes we were supposed to get someone like Tim Kerr from the Big Boys. Someone who was really good. And what they did was get Graham from Negative Appraoch, who's a really great guy, bat as far as being a great bass player... I mean Eerie's better than him right now. So that kinda bummed me out. The original idea was to create this supergroup, basically, and it wasn't. And the songs had changed when I got down there, they were kinda wimpy. Byron: So it was sorta like The 400 (Brian and Lyle's current project) stuff? Glenn: Yeah. And the thing was, there wasn't room in any of their songs for me to lay any phrasing or singing. It was very guitar oriented -- they carried all the melodies... it just wasn't working. I didn't really feel anything with the music. It wasn't doing anything for me. It wasn't making me want to go crazy. Jimmy: Did you plan to go fifty/fifty with their songs and yours? Glenn: I just said, this stuff is not giong to fit in with what I've been writing. Thwy were actually writing songs that were starting to sound like Rush... and I hate Rush. Then they got this drummer who is the guy they're using now and who is also in the Meatmen, and I just did not get along with him at all. I don't know... he jwas just real snooty about music, "I can't do that - it's too simple." Jimmy: That's the guy with the huge set, double bass etc? Glenn: Yeah. He was doing these rolls on the drums like Duran Duran. Going from the little tin thing... Byron: Like Mike Oldfied. Fuckin' cool. Tubular Bells. Glenn: If I wanted to be in a band like that I could form my own and make a million dollars, but I don't wanna do that. I just said, "look, you guys would be better off without me." Jimmy: What's the difference between that and Lyle being in Samhain? Glenn: After those rehearsals, Lyle said he still really wanted to work with me, so I told him I'd fly him up here. The first rehearsal went really great and we already had a show booked. Byron: When was this? Glenn: We started rehearsing about late January '84 and that show was booked for late March at the Rock Hotel. Jimmy: When was the last Misfits show? Glenn: That was Halloween. Me and Eerie already had Samhain going by then... Eerie: When he came back from that show he was so disgusted. He called up the next day and said, "This sucks, let's do it." Jimmy: So you had Samhain and the D.C. thing both at the same time and were indecisive as to which one to pursue. Glenn: I was waiting to see what would happen... as far as a bass player goes we could've gotten almost anyone. Graham wasn't really that important... and Jeff is way better than the guy they've got now as far as a drummwer with energy and consistency. The guy they've got now is like a showoff. He's a typical Top 100 drummer, which is what they band sounded like they were gonna end up as. This really unoriginal Top 100 band writing originals... I just said, "That's me ten years ago." Jimmy: So you were never seriously gonna make the move down? Glenn: Oh I was thinking about it -- if things worked out. But I guess they started telling everybody... JImmy: ... and you wanted to get Todd (Swalla/Necros) to drum right? Glenn: The whole idea behind that band was to have people who were really good at what they did -- a kick-ass guitarist, a kick-ass dcrummer, all the way down the line. And it never worked out that way. Everntually they started settling for this one or that one, and I didn't want to settle. Even if it meant hanging around for a while waiting for someone to finish up their commitments. Jimmy: Did Tim from the Big Boys ever agree to come out? Glenn: No, he listened to the tape that Lyle sent him and just said, "Naw". Which is basically what happened to me. I went dow there for two times and said, "This isn't it." That all happened inside a month, because at the time I was still running Plan 9. I had Earth A.D. to move and I was getting ready to put out Die Die My Darling 12", and we were also starting to record the Samhain LP. We were working on "Archangel". Byron: When did you start on that? Glenn: I started "Archangel" August '83. Jimmy: So, before the last Misfits show. Glenn: Yeah. Remember the Santa Monica Civic show? I quit that night. That was June 1983. I told those guys, "That's it." As a matter of fact, I told Henry Rollins that night too. He said, "Wow, I've seen it coming though." Byron: But you had just recorded Earth A.D. the night before, right? Genn: Yeah, but it wasn't finished because the monitor fell onto the sound board. We didn't really even get started. We recorded the rest of it out here with Spot. Byron: So "Archangel" was you and Eerie recording alone? Glenn: No I did the drums for it and Al Pike (Reagan Youth and Straight Edge magazine) played bass. Al Pike was originally supposed to be in the band, but he wouldn't leave his job and I didn't want to have to go through that again. Jimmy: Was that the first off the Initium LP that you wrote? Glenn: "Archangel" I wrote for Dave Vanian a long time ago and he was supposed to sing it with us playing it and backing him up on the record. That was in 1981. He came over and did a few rehearsals with us in Jerry's garage but it never happened. Then me and Steve did four or five more songs where I played guitar direct with Steve's drums. I then went back and added some bass tracks. Then Eerie went back and overdubbed some additional bass tracks because he had just started playing and we worked from there. And when Lyle said he wanted to do it, he laid some additional guitar overlay stuff. On a lot of songs he refused to play down-stroking. He wanted to play up and down which makes a difference, because when it comes back up you're hitting the end strings first, which is not what I wanted -- it sounded like Atkins or something. (laughs). We've got live reviews of our first show that actually said the band was great, but you could tell that Lyle wasn't really part of the band. Jimmy: How many times did he rehearse with Samhain? Glenn: Three or four times... I would fly him here on weekends and he'd just stay for that night and say, "I gotta go home". And then he started saying that he was getting a lot of shit in D.C. about the spooky image... and he had already applied for college in the fall. So we did the Rock Hotel show and never called him back. And we got Damien from Mourning Noise. Byron: Were you writing all new material for Samhain or were you using old stuff that hadn't been used previously? Glenn: I had stuff that the Misfits could never do and I had stuff I was writing as Samahin was progressing. It was a combination but now it's all new material. Jinny: How prolific are you now writing-wise? Glenn: Not prolific. I won't even write a song now unless I think it's gonna be pretty good. I'll think about it for quite a while before I even put it on paper. Byhron: Do you write on guitar? Glenn: Well, lately, I've been writing a lot of stuff on keyboard. I wrote this song called, "The Hungry End" on piano, which will freak a lot of people out. I've been listening to the "Cough/Cool" record (the Misfits' first, guitarless 45) a lot lately, and it's been really inspiring me. The whole thing is, I want to get the feeling back in this band that I was getting in '77/'78 from being in a punk band. For us it's there, and it seems like for the audience it's there as well, because we have tons of people going crazy for our stuff and we're not a hardcore band. Byron: How many shows have done so far? Glenn: We did a mini-tour for aobut two weeks all over the midwest. Most of the people said it was great to be able to hear my vocals. And a lot of girls are into Samhain. I think it's a little more sexual and a lot less menaacing physically. In Kansas City, there were a whole bunch of thirteen to fouteen year old girls hanging out by Steve's drum set, looking at him going, "I'm in love"... Jimmy: Well how many girls would look at Robo and say, "I'm in love"? Glenn: None. They'd go, "Daddy take me home now." The other night we did the NYU radio interview and I got a call and it was this girl who wanted a date. But I can't go on blind dates, because you might end up with Gorilla Monsoon... Byron: Yeah, that's true, but than at least you could find out some good wrestling anecdotes... so are you going to re-record any of these older things? Glenn: Well, I'm gonna do a special 10" because I've always wanted to do one. It's gonna be Samhain, but it's gonna have "Halloween II" live on the b-side and that's the only way you'll be able to get us doing that. I wanted to do a couple of the Misfits' songs in our set because they fit. We never did "Halloween II" live with the Misfits. We travel with a harmonizer now too se we can get all the background vocals... and "Bloodfeast" and "Death Comes Ripping" were originally Samhain songs and I gave them to the Misfits to make Earth A.D. a full album. "Bloodfeast" is supposed to be a lot slower than it is on that album. Byron: When you were writing stuff for Earth A.D., around that period, was it real specific -- this song is for Eath A.D. and one is for this unnamed project which was to become Samhain? Glenn: No, because most of the Earth A.D. stuff goes back to 1981. We were doing all that stuff back then. We were doing "Queen Wasp". I had "Earth A.D." written, but Googgy couldn't play it. We were doing "Demonomania" -- all that stuff was '81/early '82, with the exception of "Bloodfeast" and "Death Comes Ripping" and "Green Hell" -- which was written for the Misfits. "We Bite" is real old, "Die Die My Darling" we recorded at the Walk Among Us sessions. It always took the Misfits a real long time to get records out because Jerry and Doyle were working and they weren't really committed to the band as much as they should have been and things like that. Jimmy: Were those songs written at that speed? Glenn: No, they had this idea that they wanted to play live in the stuido, and that's why they wanted Spot to produce, and the songs came out way too fast. I was just not too thrilled with it. It's my least favorite Misfits record. It's alright. I still think it blows away a lot of the other stuff on the market, but for me personally... Byron: For a whil weren't ou gonna cut it back from an LP to an EP? Glenn: Yeah, right after the Civic thing we were gonna release it as a five song 12", but then we decided to add the four others. Byron: So when's the new 12" gonna be out? Glenn: It was gonna be mid-December, but as we're recording it now, I see that I wanna add more stuff, more overdubs. We're going twenty four track and I really wanna use them up. It will be five songs... Byron: Have you done any foreign licensing on Samhain stuff? Glenn: No, because I still haven't gotten paid from the German guy (Aggressive Rock) for Evilive and Wolfsblood. Byron: The only other foreign thing you have is the Itlaian Walk Among Us... Glenn: Yeah, Slash did that when it came out. It's on Slash instead of Ruby and it says "The Misfit" on the spine, but otherwise it's the same. Jimmy: Did you always want to do all the colors? Glenn: Yeah, I like colored vinyl. I don't care if anyone else complains. Don't buy it then, no one is forcing anyone to buy it. Byron: And on Initium you did... Glenn: About a hundred on white vinyl and about fifty five on marble, and maybe about 5000 altogether on black so far. Jimmy: How heavy of a touring band do you wanna be? Glenn: Pretty heavy... about tow, maybe three times a year. Every four or five months. Byron: So after the 12" you wanna do 10"? Glenn: Yeah, it'll probably be something off the 12" plus a non-LP b-side... just because I wanna doa 10" -- only about a thousand of them. Byron: Are you through with 7" records for a while? Glenn: Yeah, no more 7" records. I have to cut out and glue the sleeves myself and I can't do that for a couple of thousand. Besides, there's no money in them -- I lose money on 7"'s. It's just not the gluing aspect. Byron: What about limited stuff? Glenn: It's not worth it... just the money I would have to spend... and the distributors will take so many more 12"'s than 7"'s. Byron: The world won't have any Samhain singles to file... it's kinda sad... Glenn: The singles market is dead. The pressing plants want a real lot for 7" and it costs a lot for cardstock sleeves instead of shitty paper ones, and if I can't do it right then I don't want to do it. Byron: Do you have any other material besides what's on the LP and 12"? Glenn: I've got a couple of new ones which we're learning now and will probably play on this tour... Byron: Is the Fiend Club still in operation? Glenn: Basically, Plan 9 has a mail order opernation, that is what it is... for t-shirts and posters and for Samhain/Misfits LP's. There's no 45's available as of now... I wanna do a box set, limited to a thousand, of the Misfits 45's. Byron: There was talk for a whil that you were gonna be doing a magazine... Glenn: I wanted to do a magazine, but I just got bogged down with this band and the label. Bascailly, with Samhain we wanna get a definitive sound and always keep that power and intensity, and just experiment with all kinds of stuff. Do things that nobody else is doing. Everybody is just doing mediocre bullshit, like all these thrash bands. They're not as good as the bands they're just trying to rip off. All the good thrash bands are gone. All these other bands are stupid. Their lyrics are real dumb. I like real good lyrics, and there's nothing there for me... all these kids just had this thing handed to them. They didn't have to work for it or anything. They think the bands owe them something, just because they bought their record. I don't owe anybody jackshit. I owe you a good show if you come to see us and that's about it. Byron: It's true... it's real weird as to thes tuff that's happened with all that... Glenn: It's just these little spoiled kids. They don't have to fight a scene, they didn't have to fight for shows and stuff... Jimmy: It's just become so easy to put out a record and have an immediate following... Glenn: The bad part is that so many reviewers will say anything is good. Like this fanzine, Malice, from Memphis which I've got -- "Everything's great! Everything's great!" And I've heard some of those records and they suck shit. They're real bad. But just because someone sends them a free record it's great. Jimmy: It's always gone on to a certain extent, but it's really proliferating now. Like, if you look at the Flipside fanzine list now, there's about 250 'zines listed, whereas a few years ago there were only about fifteen or so. Glenn: And they're not really fanzines -- they're just one or two pages. Pieces of shit. Byron: ... Just P.O. boxes to get some free records. Glenn: That's what I like about Hard Times. He said that they're not gonna do one paragraph reviews of records, because that's a little bit misleading, and you can't really let someon know what a record's about in one paragraph... I hate those one paragraph reviews like in Maximum Rock & Roll. Jimmy: Well... there're various forms of the one paragraph review. (in defense of F.E.'s unquestioned excellence as regards the form) Glenn: I like the MRR reviews, "This isn't political". What's that got to do with music? Is it a good record? Is the music good? Did it do something for you? They're not the only magazine that's guilty of that. Byron: No, but they've become the standard from for all these other little fuckin' fanzines that are trying to do the same thing... there was this review in MRR that said, "I looked at this and thought it was gonna be a wild record, but it's not, it sounds like The Birthday Party." (laughter) * * = The actual review was from MRR #18 and ran as follows: "The Legend 'The Legend Destroys the Blues' 7". Don't be fooled by the cartoon of the guy in a Ramones t-shirt on the back cover or the frantic maniac on the front cover: This is not wild shit. It's more of a Birthday Party-type minimalist Rock. Well done but not crazed." Glenn: How much wilder can you get? Byron: It's so fuckin' weird... Glenn: Well, people are like that... in the band I'm in now, and even with the Misfits, we always tried to be a couple of steps ahead of what was going on. As far as Earth A.D. goes, I don't know about that. If I had produced ti the way I wanted to, it would have been. This band, I think is a few steps ahead of what's going on. Byron: Right, but I think the obvious connection for a lot of people is still gonna be the Misfits. There isn't a big image change between the two. Glenn: Well, live there is... the blood there (pointing to the cover of Initium) ties into the whole Samhain thing, letting the blood run. Samhain is the pagan Halloween, and is based a lot on the death of the earth -- and everything dies at the end of fall. Byron: So it's an annual thing? Glenn: It's what Halloween is. Christians didn't want the pagans believing in any of the old pagan things, so what they did is they changed the name from Samhain to Halloween, and they changed the name of Christmas and all the holidays. Anyone who didn't listen got killed. Basically, the whole Samhain thing is -- the pagans celebrated the death of earth, and any animal that couldn't survive through the winter, that they didn't have enough food to feed, because winters were tough back then, they had to kill. With Samhain, some sects in Europe would actually kill a king every year and sacrifice him -- the blood would replenish the earth so that in spring they would have great crops again and things like that... the "Halloween" trilogy is based on Samhain. Also, on Samhain, supposedly the dimensions open up because of the shift from the summer and fall into winter and the dead can come back. They used to set places for the dead at the tables. Byron: Yeah, I was wonderin'. 'Cause when I first saw it, it was written out like it was just the name of a guy. Glenn: It's really pronounced "Sow-win". It's Gaelic. You really see the difference between Samhain and the Misfits when you see the lyrics. Also, with the next record -- a lot of it is against organized religion. Religion is good, but not what they've done with it now. If I say I hate Catholics, or I hate Jews, or Protestants, etc., it's not the individual that I hate -- the people who are of that faith -- but it's the people who practice that as a way of life. I don't like those people. Like the Right-to-Lifer's and the people who want to mingle church and state. I really hate that. Byron: Would you say that you're religious though? Glenn: I'm a very religous person, but I wouldn't pray to a saint or a pope. Basically, whether you believe in god or not, there's probably just one supreme power -- that's what I believe, anyway -- and that's who you pray to. There are religious atrocities, like the Catholics just eradicating races of people -- more people than Hitler did -- just because these people's sole purpose was to be one with god and to the Catholics that was heresy. It's annoying that people always single out Nazis, or this and that, and never mention any of the religous movements in this country. Do you know how many people would be killed if the church was mingled with the state? Anybody who didn't believe in "their god", their form of religion, would be forced over. It's happened before and it can happen again. This band, lyrically, is more heavy duty. Byron: There always seemed to be a comic book element to a lot of the earlier stuff. Glenn: Yeah, that's gone. Eerie: This is more real life stuff. Glenn: If someone sat down and really looked at the lyrics to the Misfits' stuff they could see what's going on and could tie the connections. This is just a more real band. Byron: Are you thinking of doing any video stuff? Eerie: Yeah, but not any performance stuff. It will be all storyline to a song. Glenn: We're gonna do "Samhain". I might do one for "Initium". "Unholy Passion" will probably be real sick if we do it, but that's further down the road. Byron: How soon will that be? Glenn: Well, we'll be back from the tour in December and we're not going to tour during the winter because of the bad weather. So we'll have until April or May as a layoff period. We're gonna record and release a second LP then, so we'll have plenty of time to do stuff. Byron: Is there more material you recorded for Initium that hasn't come out yet? Glenn: No, that's all there is. That narrative beginning thing, "Initium", me and Eerie did that in his room on a four track cassette recorded, which is pretty wild. Byron: So are you gonna be playing any keyboards, Glenn? Glenn: Yeah, there're some keyboards on the new 12". We added a lot of stuff to this record -- it's gonna be really full. We're into the idea that a studio album should be different than live. The power should still be there in the studio, but you've got more tracks to play with, so do it. Make it an interesting record -- layers and layers of stuff. Byron: So you wouldn't take the keyboards with you live? Glenn: We might eventually. Not right now, but maybe for the spring tour, in about May. Not a real keyboard, like an organ, it would be a DX7, which patches in sounds like a cello or bells or whatever. And it would only be for stuff from the album, whihc means a little overlay here or there. It's nothing major in any song. Any of this is just something we're adding to a killer song. It's not that this whole song is a keyboard thing with us going, "La La La". Byron: Now wait a second. You just told me you were listening to "Cough/Cool" a lot. That's a keyboard record. Glenn: Yeah, but that's not a "La La La" song. It's a keyboard song with fuzz. That's because we didn't have a guitar player in the band. Everybody was into Yes, Led Zep, and Queen... Byron: You played guitar though. Why not on it? Glenn: I don't know. I didn't have a guitar. I only had this thing. (picks up an old semi-hollow Danelectro) Eerie: Oh, you got a bottom string now. Byron: The truth is out. That's why you didn't play guitar... Glenn: I normally write on four strings -- the top four -- then I added a fifth one, now I finally added the last E string. Byron: I thnk you could take that guitar out with you. You could do a little sensitive acoustic number. (laughter) Glenn: No... one of the things I don't like is that a lot of people, in their strive to be different, are just reverting to the past. Like the Husker's Zen Arcade LP and a lot of other people always talking about the Velvet Underground and poetry... yeah, when I was in high school I was listening to the VU and getting shit for it. I was reading all the poetry back then. Where were you eight to ten years ago? It's just so stupid. I don't like reversion. Things go forward -- don't go back. You acn look at your roots or your past and say what it would be like now, but not this regression. Music should be expanding, going further. Byron: But it's like you said, history repeats itself. It's fuckin' true. Musical history is the same thing. Glenn: Yeah, but it should have a quality that relates to now. You shouldn't listen to a record and say, "Is this Crosby, Stills, and Nash?" Byron: Or is it Memorex? Glenn: No. It's Husker Du... it should have something about now and maybe modern technology as far as recording goes. Byron: With the band live, have you run into a lot of people yelling for Misfits' stuff? Eerie: Yeah, but it started to taper off real quick. Glenn: Think of some good questions. Something weird... Byron: Um, what's Tesco's sperm taste like? Glenn: I don't know... he doesn't have any. ------------------------------------- To contribute to the next issue, please send email to: misfits@virginia.edu For more information, or for back issues, contact Mark Kennedy at: msk4m@watt.seas.virginia.edu The Misfits World Wide Web page is located at: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/ The Misfits mailing address is: The Misfits | P.O.

And the winner is: >From: "Jake Starr/ADAM WEST" >To: sistinas@prime.planetcom.com >Subject: Danzig/Sisters songs > anyway, the two song titles they share are >"Possession" and "Dominion." I think that's it. Sure is! Songs called "Possession" are on the first Danzig LP & the first Sisters LP ("First and Last and Always) and "Dominion" appears on the 2nd sisters album ("Floodland") and the last Danzig album. Actualy I've always thought Glenn & Andrew Eldritch have quite a lot in common besides those song titles....

This may not be the meaning of the song, but Mario and I discovered an interesting connection several months back. We were flipping through the pages of our friend Andy's art history textbook when Andy pointed out a photo of a statue of Nike, the Roman (?) goddess of victory. The headless statue looked really familiar to Mario. We took out his Earth A.D./Wolf's Blood record and sure enough, there was Nike, right on the cover (she is the statue on the right side of the album cover). Just thought that was sort of interesting, and hopefully informative to some of you out there.

It's great to hear how everyone got hooked in all their different ways, even if it sounds like an AA meeting. NIKOLOPOULOUS: I still think Don's right about Glenn writing the music. Ryq Hinojos even credits him for it on the tab section of the home page. And check out the inside of Walk Among Us, I believe that does too (left it at someone's house or I'd check right now). Anyway, that's all I ever heard. EVB: Thanks for the inside stuff on the Misfits! It's great to hear that Jerry and Bobby want to get on the net. (It's also great to have someone on the Bible who gets phone calls "out of the blue" from Bobby Steele) I'm sure everyone is eagerly waiting to hear the big announcement next week. I stand corrected about the Satanic bands, and I also heard about a Satanic *rap* act, Flatlinaz. Have we now seen it all? Not until Satanic country I suppose.

My friend Niels even got a copy of the original "Cough/Cool" there when he was visiting from Germany! MisfiFiend - boy is your source a creative storyteller! Bobby thought the AIDs story was really funny when I read it to him - needless to say he's very much alive! Bet Glenn would find the exorcism bit just as funny. Chris Terns - oh you lucky dog to get to see Glenn with Metallica... had only I known they'd do that!!!! Ralph Herbert - the Earth AD/Evilive CD I bought last year from an ad in Goldmine mag was $40 ; if you were trying to sell it you should be able to get at least that (I know a lot of folks on the Bible are searching for it) Andreas Viehoff - I have no idea if the Lucifuge video ever was released overseas - you could always get a US copy & have it transferred to PAL. (I've had to do the reverse on British tapes... thank ghod Japan is on NTSC or I'd be in BIG trouble!) Funny, but I liked the art in Verotika more than in Jaguar God, especially the Bisley story in #1 and the work by Esteban Moroto in #3. The computer coloring realy gets on my nerves tho, reminds me too much in look of the Image books which I'm not big on. As for Genitorturers - if ya want I have a bunch of interviews & clippings on them I can copy, also have some GREAT pix I took when they played the 9:30 club. They don't get much press in the US either - most of the articles I have I got from a long time fan in Tampa, Florida near where they are from (Orlando a/k/a Disney World! That'll warp ya fer sure!). They have only put out two releases I know of - the "120 Days of Genitorture" album on CD (IRS, 1993) and an earlier 7" on purple vinyl (House of Shame/Jackin' Man/Rivers Edge/Strip the Flesh) that came out a few years ago and is now very scarce. (I also have an early demo tape of theirs) More to follow.... only wish it were better news.... -EVB ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 1995 06:08:53 -0400 From: EVB Subject: Major Announcement time.... Well, like I hinted last issue I've got some important news. I was asked to sit for a week before I posted it since the folks in question were in the process of still trying to come up with an official statement to make. Unfortunately, it's not good news. Far from it. Boy do I hate to say this. I got a call from Eerie Von on July 15th to tell me that he and John Christ have both quit Danzig. We had a long talk and I'm grateful to hear it straight from him since it would have REALLY hurt even more to hear months of rumors & then maybe see a little note somewhere. I don't want to go into details, but I think I can best sum up the reasons in exactly the words Eerie used: "the reasons that I joined the band in the first place aren't there anymore". Eerie is going to work on his own music - a blues band with some country influences. I asked him if he'd be working with John but he said he wouldn't since their musical taste is so different from his. He wanted me to pass on that anybody who wants to write him or John can send it to his PO Box ( He'll forward letters to John) Eerie Von PO Box 9215 Lyndhurst, NJ 07071 Eerie said that Glenn had mentioned maybe taking a few years off from music, also he said that Glenn was thinking of doing music that was (to quote Eerie) more of a "punk/industrial/tribal kinda thing". It would be trite to state the usual "musical differences" but it was a contributing factor to the tension. They will still be issuing the Samhain box set though; Eerie has been in the darkroom printing up photos for the set. Eerie also mentioned that Checuk Biscuits will be playing on the next Four Horseman album and that Joey Castillo will be on the next Sugartooth album. I can't say I didn't see it coming but I'm still crushed. This band has meant so much to me all this years; they've become like my family. And I've met so many of my closest friends traveling to their shows & even more over the net all because of them - what can I say except they fucking changed my life in a very major way. It's gonna leave a big gaping hole in my life and in my heart. Needless to say I've been crying for days. Anyway, I'm flying out to California in a few days to see Glenn - I doubt he'll feel like talking about this but if he has anything to pass on I'll let you know. If anybody is going to the San Diego Comic Con I'll prolly be working at Verotik's booth so look for me there. -EVB ------------------------------ From: CTernes@aol.com Date: Thu, 20 Jul 1995 17:17:45 -0400 Subject: Ternes's Perspective Hello! As all of you know by now, the mighty Danzig has broken up. Many people are upset about this. I signed on this afternoon and my mailbox was filled just about to capacity. Am I the only one who does not feel like this is the worst news in the world? Honestly, I love Danzig. And I've loved them for a long time. People around here know me as "Danzig man". People don't say, "Do you know Chris Ternes?" They say "Do you know the guy who wears all Danzig shit all the time?" The rock band Danzig has put out about 50 great tunes....and the rumors and possibility of a break up have been floating around for a long time now. HOWEVER, I am not an uncaring bastard, and I too am VERY upset about the whole break up thing. But there's something that pisses me off even more. What I will bitch about is what Glenn said he may do. Punk/industrial/tribal? Hmmmm, I get it. So the new Glenn Danzig shit is going to be another fuckin "Sadistikal" another "Invocation" and perhaps another Misfits type tune. That does not please me, unfortunately. I will be optimistic, and say that maybe the new shit will be good....and you know that comic book thing is still around (saw Verotika #1 today---$45). And we have another "Black Aria" type thing coming out....geez think about it. It's not that bad!

The first time I heard Danzig was before my sister turned into a hippie, she bought Danzig I and she listened to Mother constantly, I have since stolen the cd from her. the first time I heard Samhain was last year, I was really into the Misfits, and my friend let me borrow Final Descent and I listened to "I am Misery" over and over and over. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 1995 09:25:05 -0100 From: Jake Starr/ADAM WEST Subject: re: danzig news! everybody, i ran into brian baker (late of minor threat, dag nasty, early samhain, now of bad religion) yesterday and told him about the interview with glenn from the early samhain days that mark posted in the last bible. he said that the "supergroup" was calling themselves samhain, and he only survived three rehearsals. he said his hair was black when they first got together, but he dyed it blonde after a bit, then glenn didn't like him anymore. But what's more important is that he told me that danzig and bad religion just played a july 4th show at the artic circle or something, and john christ and eerie quit the band after the show. he said that they said that they've been in the band for 8 years (eerie even more!) and they've been on salary the whole time with no financial support when they're not recording or touring. he said that john was sick of glenn the most. anyway, according to him, there is no more danzig! what's up, people? jake *************************** Jake Starr/ADAM WEST c/o Fandango Records 1805 T Street, NW #A Washington, DC 20009-7128 (202) 483-0065 eMAIL: jyas@loc.gov *************************** --part_AC3917700000D65B00000001-- ------------------------------ From: NIKOLOPOULOS@tne01.tele.nokia.fi Date: Mon, 24 Jul 1995 20:42:58 +0400 (EET-DST) Subject: bye!

Anyways. My founding of the Misfits: I think I first saw the video fer How the Gods Kill on Beavis and Butthead (you heard me)...I soon bought the CD and yes, I loved it. at a later date, while at Tower records, I looked up "Danzig" on the computer.. It said "see also Samhain, Misfits, and the Undead." I had remember seeing a Samhain sticker at the alley and I said "cool! the Danzig skull!" -- That's how I recognized Samhain at Tower. They had no Samhain CDs, so I checked Misfits and got Legacy of Brutality. I hated it. But what did I know? I usually listened to Megadeth or Metallica. ( I was lost in eighth grade) Later still, I got Initium, which I liked. Misfits eventually grew on me, cause I actually payed attention to it. And what more is to say...? First Danzig concert: Live with Metallica and ST. I nearly keeled over when I heard them play Misfits! -greg BTW- if you haven't seen my artwork on the web, please do, you might enjoy it.

I was truly saddened (a complete understatement, I assure you) to hear that Eerie & John have decided to leave Danzig. Whatever the real reasons, I wish all of the folks involved much sucess in the future and would like to voice my appreciation for all of the great recordings and live shows over the years. I've no doubt that there will be loads of speculation in the coming weeks with regard to this turn of events, and I'm equally certain that some of it will give me pause for thought and that most of it will anger me. Regardless, I have to say--a little preemptive strike here--that if it wasn't for Glenn's talent, we wouldn't have three great bands to discuss and we wouldn't have all of those truly amazing songs which continue to entertain us years after the fact. The legacy will endure. I'm hopeful that my all-time favorite singer-songwriter won't keep me--and the rest of us who appreciate him--waiting too long for the next chapter in his life's story to unfold. Many thanks to HororHotel, CTernes & Mark Kennedy for posting all of the old interviews--they were truly interesting. Please keep them coming. I do have one question though, Who is Tesco? :) To EVB--Enjoy your trip to So. Cal.--please give our best regards to Glenn. PDH ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 95 21:21 PDT From: Trevor Tilbury Subject: Misfits 1st Well, this is my first time writing to something like this. But, since others were writing 'bout there first Misfits experience, what the heck. It was about '86 when Master of Puppets (Metallica :>) came out. One of the pictures in the album had all of them sitting in what looked like a living room with thiese records around there. One of them was a Misfits album. I was, actually still am a big Cliff Burton fan, and this gut worshipped the Misfits. I thought I'd see what the heck they are about. A few of my friends listend to them, so I borrowed some tapes. Man, it was so raw, so cool, you couldn't hear a world the dude said. As I started getting into it, I found out about Samhain. There was like a 5 year period where I basically dropped out of the music scene, But have managed to find the 4 Misfits CD's I could find and the three Samhain. It was actually hearing Lucifuge that sparked my interest in Danzig etc. again. Another little bit of trivia: it was Cliff Burton that introduced Rick Rubin to Danzig by bringing him to a Samhain Concert. Rubin wanted to sign him immediately on his label, Def American. Later..

About Chuck being in the Misfits - I don't know about this one. there are so many silly stories; whenever someone practiced or hung out with the misfits, they seem to claim that they were a member or a great buddy or something like that. eerie says in an interview that he even played with the misfits. well, he tried out, but according to jerry that's it. anyway, my first experience with the misfits? end of 1988 when walk among us was reissued and the Misfits compilation LP came out, I started getting to know them. i only knew hollywood babylon and hate breeders, basically because my friends were getting into them. then i heard their version of green hell and was pretty amazed at the power and speed. when the twist of cain single came out, i was hooked on glenn's voice and somehow i determined that the voice of the misfits and the voice of twist of cain were the same. so, having accumulated a good starting base of knowledge (my friends were collectors who knew about all the 7"'s and ep's) i started going after anything with glenn's voice. i started with die die and then legacy of brutality and then walk among us and then i accidentally discovered the Less Than Zero soundtrack and got it too, before I ever bought any Danzig. and here i am. mark ------------------------------------- To contribute to the next issue, please send email to: misfits@virginia.edu For more information, or for back issues, contact Mark Kennedy at: msk4m@watt.seas.virginia.edu The Misfits World Wide Web page is located at: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/ The Misfits mailing address is: The Misfits | P.O.

Basically i was considered a loser and a freak(the name i liked the most) because of my listening to the Holy three. i think it started around the time of Lucifuge. A friend ripped off a tape, and i listened to it. He thought it sucked. (i heard the Misfits before, but never made a connection, `till i heard Glenn's voice) i was enthralled. period. i instantly spent a great deal of cash to get ANYTHING related to Danzig/Samhain/Misfits. I have been a freak ever since!.... I got an internet account about a month ago, and i have never been happier. Where i went after i got it, well, i instantly searched for the Misfits. I tell ya, i was an extremely happy boy! Closing, a couple questions: 1. Where can i find "Last Caress" have been looking for it for the longest time.. Considering where i live, i can't be to upset. 2. Are the "New" Misfits gonna just be playing around the coast? or are they doing a US thing? I heard Type O Negative offered them a spot, but naturally they declined. 3. When is the Album coming out!? ( i wanna freak the shit outta everyone here in GB Wisconsin.)

I'd just like to throw in a few (hopefully upbeat) view and comments on the Danzig break up. Obviously, it's a terrible shame (waste even?) when such a talented and for the most part, unusual band splits up but then I guess most people said that right after the Misfits and subsequently Samhain split. I think the fact that Glenn's whole life has been spent writing, recording and playing music hints that we have plenty more things to hear from him yet... in whatever form. Talking to others (hi Trish!) I think it would be great if Glenn to time out to do stuff that maybe Danzig (the band) would not allow, such as an album full of stuff like 'You And Me' or covers from his favorite artists (now that would be diverse!). I hope all the ex- Danzig guys do well with their respective projects and await Eerie's stuff with great interest... I just hope that they and Glenn don't indulge in the traditional 'ex-member' slaggings that so many bands seem to. I guess the _really_ depressing thing about the split is that the reasons for it do tend to fall heavily on the side of the 'Danzig's a dictator' faction. Whatever, they were an almighty band and it's sad it's all over. BTW, for those of you who may be worried about what 'Industrial/Tribal/Punk' might entail, check out 'I Don't Mind The Pain' for a BIG tribal influence, 'Sadistikal' for the industrial side and the whole Misfits back catologue for the punk stuff.... we needn't worry, Glenn's been into and doing this stuff all his career :) Julian ------------------------------ From: ols@home.interaccess.com Date: Tue, 25 Jul 1995 11:19:33 -0600 Subject: End of Danzig Well, just as Danzig's light is burning out, The Misfits' is rekindling. I loved Danzig... but I love the Misfits more, so if they're coming back, nothing can get me down! It just pisses me that the first show is so far from Chicago... Anyways- I meant to say this last time: EVB! You have to be the coolest person I have (not) met! You talk to Jerry and Doyle and get surprise calls from Bobby Steele. You even learn first hand from Eerie himself that him and John Christ left Danzig. Not to mention that you've been to a bazillion Danzig concerts and are friends with Glenn. sheeesh. --Greg Petre ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jul 1995 12:24:11 EDT From: LNMN05A@prodigy.com (MR MAURICIO NUNEZ) Subject: Misfits/Samhain for sale Hey guys I have some records for sale.

Thanks to EVB for the big announcement. No, it's not a surprise, but it is pretty shocking. I expected John to leave, but not Eerie! I'll be interested in hearing what Glenn says about the break up. Will we get a mature response, or will he badmouth them or act like they don't exist? I sincerely hope he handles this professionally. Well, the Smackerals of Hunny summer tour is now over - just a few local dates left, so I've been catching up on the bibles. I'm just wondering now what the hell happened while I was gone?!? A few issues looked like newsgroup postings! What's with all the Bobby Steele/AIDS/dead B.S.?? If you would READ the Misfits Bible, you'd KNOW that the Undead have been playing shows recently and are doing just fine. And the whole Danzig-selling-his-soul-to-the-devil crap...man, just wait until you sprout some pubes before you start posting to this list! We are a collection of knowledgable fans working to DISPELL all of the rumors and B.S. stories floating around the internet - we are not here to create new ones!! Danzig was a BAND of four HUMAN BEINGS just like you and me...The songs and albums are all results of creativity, hard work and rehearsal, not selling one's soul away. Try it sometime, instead of believeing everything you're told. Finally, I'm glad that I had the chance to meet a few of you on the road this summer! I look forward to meeting even more next summer. Hey Chad B. - sorry I didn't contact you when we were in Chicago...lost your phone # and it wasn't in the phone book! And to the six or seven still awaiting their "Evil is as evil does" vids...wait no more! They'll be done on Saturday and shipped Monday. One more thing...are we still doing the compilation? Mike and Don - please re-post all the vital info! Thanks - Brent ------------------------------ From: EevilDon@aol.com Date: Wed, 26 Jul 1995 00:23:15 -0400 Subject: danzig break up i think the worst part about the danzig break up is the fact that eerie and glenn have parted. if the band had broken up and they did another project together i think that would be great, but since samhain, glenn without eerie, how wierd. but since it doesn't look like they will be working together any longer that is what gets to me. i'm sure glenn's next project will be interesting though, but the presence of eerie will be missed. good luck to eeie and and john both in their post-danzig endevors. later.

Irving Meadows) and did a bunch of Misfits songs with them. Does anyone know anymore about this? I won't comment on Danzig breaking up, but it does show (to me at least) how cheap Danzig is. Having the other band members on a fixed salary while Glenn gets all the royalties seems like a real asshole thing to do. Eerie Von was there from the beginning and it seems like Glenn really screwed him in the end run. Also does this seem like a pattern with Glenn? ie Breaking up successful bands? Finally, a couple of bibles back it mentioned that the reformed Misfits were given the option to play under Type O Negative, and refused it. To me it seems like a missed opportunity. To see The Misfits and TON play together would be great. The two bands have alot in common. LD ------------------------------ From: CTernes@aol.com Date: Fri, 28 Jul 1995 16:37:57 -0400 Subject: AOL NEWS Well, here's a bit of AOL news for all of us on AOL: >From The Wall Street Journal SAN FRANCISCO -- A California lawyer has sued America Online Inc., alleging that the on-line service overcharges its customers. According to the suit, which seeks class-action status and was filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco, America Online bills parts of minutes as whole minutes, and in some cases as two minutes, and charges for time that customers spend accessing "free" service areas. (This overcharging may easily be overlooked for people who spend a lot of time chatting online but becomes very obvious for people who economize by using the "flash mail" feature.) AOL, Vienna, Va., charges customers $9.95 a month, which includes five hours of on-line time, plus an additional $2.95 an hour. The company declined to comment on the suit and declined to answer questions about how it bills for parts of a single minute. If AOL charged each of its 3.2 million customers for an extra one minute a month, it would have received over a year's time $1.9 million, equivalent to nearly a third of AOL's fiscal 1994 net income. The lawsuit, filed by Palo, Alto, Calif., attorney Stephen Hagen, alleges that if an AOL user is on-line for one minute and one second, AOL informs him at the end of his session that he has used one minute and one second of on-line time, but charges him for two minutes. AOL doesn't disclose its practice of billing increments of one minute as a full minute, the suit alleges.

Just got off the plane from San Diego & am VERY tired but wanted to post this so y'all wouldn't have to wait a week for news.... Saw Glenn when I was out there & unfortunately didn't get to hang with him much (he was REALLY busy with a ton of meetings with distributors, agents etc) and, sniff, we didn't make it to lunch as originally planned but I got to talk to him a bit & he says he's going into the studio in two weeks to work on a new album with Joey and that he'll be playing guitar on it. So long as he's around the band will be "Danzig". He says it WON'T be industrial but it will be a lot faster and that "White Devil Rise" will definitely be on it. And the hot line should continue. On the comic front now out from Verotik that debuted at the con: Death Dealer #1 - FINALLY!!! Verotika # 4 Satanika # 3 Sunglasses After Dark -special San Diego con ONLY ashcan edition (preview of upcoming book) Devilman # 1 - San Diego con special edition (regular edition should ship soon to stores) They also had a VERY cool poster of all the Verotik characters painted by Bisley with the saying "Heroes Come, Heroes Go, but Demons are forever". And my fav bit o' merchandizing was the little "super deformed" cute Satanika & Dalkiel figurines sculpted by Norman Cabrera. Also on display were the prototypes of two amzing resin sculptures that should go on sale in a few months - one piece is of Satanika & Dalkiel sculpted after the cover of Satanika #1 and the other is of Dalkiel done from the first splash page in Verotika #1 - both pieces are incredible & done in a perfect representation of Simon Bisley's style. (An Igrat sculpture will be in the works & also Japanese artist Nirasawa, best known for the "Creature Core" stuff in Hobby Japan, is at work on his own rendition of Satanika) Signing at the Verotik booth over the 4 days of the con were: Glenn, Devilman creator Go Nagai (all the way from Japan!), Simon Bisley, Nancy Collins and Martin Emund (FANTASTIC artist from New Zealand who will be doing a lot of their covers - the painting of Igrat from an upcoming Satanika really took my breath away!) I asked what was up with the mail order end of Verotik as I know a lot of folks never got stuff they ordered and Steven Wardlaw (new editor) told me that the "old administration" (i.e. Hart Fisher) never mailed out people's orders so he inherited several sacks worth of unfilled mail orders. They are going through and processing them now so everybody should be recieving their stuff in the next few weeks. So hang tight and hopefully you'll be getting your stuff soon. One of the highlights of the con for me was getting to meet Michael Wm. Kaluta who sold me the original design sketches for the yin/yang design on the last Danzig album. Anybody who knows me knows how much I love this design as I had it permanently marked into my skin last year and Kaluta told me he thought the tattoo was "perfect" which of course flattered me to no end. I who usually keeps her cool in front of nearly anybody came damn near close to doing a "I'm not worthy" ala "Wayne's World" in front of him as he is one of my personal gods. Also got to meet some other bible folks - Rob Flemming & Ricky Hinojos and Kristina & Elizabeth Nelly - I'm only sorry that I didn't have more time to hang with everybody!!! (Sorry if I seemesd really spacey - I was REALLY trying to focus on far too many things at once and going on next to no sleep for too many days!)

Come on, people. Let's not worry about how long we've been Misfits or Danzig fans. The point of the Bible is to be provide a place on the net where people can get together and discuss the Misfits, what they all have in common--not what separates them, like age. I'm no veteran to the Bible, but from reading back issues I think lately this little publication has gotten a bit...rude compared to the past.

Hi all, I still dont get it, I guess. They split up. Its been a long time comin, so Im not too surprised. We all knew that man was never easy to work with. Besides the sorrow there is that feeling of excitement: whats he gonna come up with? He didnt disappoint ME by now. (In some way I liked Sadistikal, Cantspeak....). There are still a lot of talented musicians out there, people with a vision who are ready to kick some ass. By the way: What would your DREAM TEAM look like?? The ultimate band, so to speak....and no holding on to The Misfits, Samhain or Danzig. We know m, we liked m, theyre gone (it seems). Dont get me wrong, I was at the shows here in Germany, not a day without listening to some of their stuff.....but it was always the main man I wanted to see and hear. (That voice gives me the chills). I hope Im not raising too much of a controversy, just wanted to get some thoughts out..... EVB:>... thank ghod Japan is on NTSC.< Why that? Just asking as I`m into all sorts of videos from Asia, uncut versions, alternate versions.....etc. I like Image....no more comments. Okay I admit it, I like Batman too. You ever read Lone Wolf & Cub, check it out. Great, old black & white manga stuff on a Ronin and his son. (But this is no discussion forum for comics) >As for Genitorturers - if ya want I have a bunch of interviews & clippings on them I can copy, also have some GREAT pix I took when they played the 9:30 club.> I would definetely love to have some of that stuff. On a festival I went some three months ago, the Genis had their own "shop", where one had a chance to get a piercing by Gen herself. Wish I had the money... I also had a chance to talk to Gen. She told me, that they are working on a new album. Although its quite "fannish", I had her sign my ticket....Shes a really impressive person. She was running around the festival site the whole day, checking the stage, announcing bands, talking to people, doing photo shots and all. Wouldnt that be a Duo Infernal? Her and Mr. Glenn. Danzig was also announced for that festival too. To make a long story short: Three day festival. First day sunny, second day o.k., rumors of the promoter getting away with the money, some bands refusing to play, no pay no play. Third day, Danzig day, rumored to be cancelled. Morning of third day, heavy rain, the festival site is a mess. My "friends" decide to leave, I have to come with them. By then I didnt know if Danzig was going to appear. Later I heard the sad end of that story. Late at night Danzig appeared on stage, saw the audience of about 50 people, played two songs, said "fuck you", disappeared and wasnt seen again on stage. nuff said, cheers, A. ------------------------------ From: MisfiFiend@aol.com Date: Thu, 3 Aug 1995 16:53:40 -0400 Subject: oops boy didn't I feel like an ass when I read the Undead tour dates right after I posted that message asking if Bobby Steele was really dead.

I have worshipped Cliff Burton's music ever since I was in seventh grade (about 3 years ago), and I was always reading about how his fav bands were "Anything by Glenn Danzig". And, about a year ago when I finally got to hear Garage Days Re-Revisited, I loved the Last Caress/Green Hell covers, and then borrowed some of my friends Misfits tapes (He lent me the Legacy , Earth AD, and the Misfits tapes, cause another kid had "borrowed" Walk Among Us and Evilive, and had failed to return them before moving out of teh school district, but he got 'em back later). I loved Earth AD. So, I went out and got Walk Among Us and Evilive, conning my mom into lending me the money (She actually liked Walk Among Us. She is very liberal, even though she looks very conservative. She listens to Hendrix, Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Clapton, and other "classic' rock. Actually, she even liked Danzig II and III, but I don't theink she likes Samhain.) Ok, thanx for listening, but I'm gettin tired and gotta go.

It will be produced in a limited edition of 10,000 copies on four colors of vinyl. Vinyl Ink will be stocking a number of sets & will probably be offering a discount to people interested in buying a set of all colors (they will also sell them separately). There will also be an unlimited CD single which will also include the tracks "Horror Business" and "We Are 138" live. (My personal advice on these colored vinyl singles is GRAB 'EM FAST!!!)

The reason I'm writing now, is that a few weeks ago, on holiday in France, I lost this misfits t-shirt which I'd had for quite some years and which I liked very much.The shirt in question is a white tee with black and red printing. It shows (I believe) a flyer from a misfits/necros show that has been drawn by Pushead. Those of you who know the shirt will know what shirt I'm talking about.Who can tell me where I can still get it (by mail)? I'm using my friend's address now, but he's moving in a while. Please send a letter to the bible and I'll read it one way or the other.I hope someone can help.Does anyone know where to find the "Beware...and the rest"bootleg?

Jorden" Subject: collection, walk among us, and fliers. well a few things here, this my first post (wee-hoo) anyway--- Caroline is promoting the fuck out of the (overpriced) Collection cd. They've rented endcap space for it at Best Buy for months and months now (for those of you who don't know, endcaps are rented to record companies... for example $500 or $1000 a month depending). They seem to be readying the public for a new release... hmm... Though it's still fucking way too expensive. Jeez. walk among us-- i think it'd be cool if an alternate take album of Walk Among us would be availible. I have the tracks on Vampira which (the ones that are actually different and not just unmixed versions) are really cool. In Nike (this i the "ambionic" session? i have the feeling it was the one in the NY studio-- 2nd walk among us session) there's a really cool instrument. I believe it's either one of those horror flick dealies, that you move your hands in front of and produces a continuous tone, or something that Raymond Scott developed that produces a similiar sound. Any ideas? Also, are the MSP sessions worth picking up? one more thing-- so far i've got Beware and the rest (there goes 25$ when static age comes out) and Vampira. I'd like to get other recordings, but tapes are cool.. i'm looking for only studio stuff... i also have a lot of old punk vinyl i can trade if you're interested... and, i'm interested in getting flyiers for misfits, samhain, or other shows... photocopies are fine.

In your post you mentioned how pathetic it was to see Danzig's opening bands get bigger, hmmm, do you really think Marilyn Manson will steadily improve over the years and produce an amazing 4th album? I'll be surprised if they release a 4th single... Would you have really wanted Danzig to take out crap bands just to make themselves look better? I take it that we all would rather see two good bands for our money and all credit to Danzig for making sure they had to perform after decent bands not lame local 'talent' or something. As for Glenn 'really starting to piss me off' I hardly think he meant it personally do you? The other point that made me laugh was about Glenn joining up for live covers of Misfit tunes. I think the point is that both Metallica and Zombie are big Misfits fans and friends of Glenn so sure he'd get up and bash out some tunes (especially if they're going to play them anyway). It'd be both arrogant and pointless of Glenn to do the same at a Danzig show where people have paid to see Danzig NOT hear old Misfits tunes!! Don't bother reponding calling me a Glenn kiss ass because it ain't true, I like the Misfits and Danzig equally. It's just that saying you're 'glad' that Danzig has split is an ignorant comment. I didn't like Nirvana but I'm not 'glad' that Kobain topped himself.... think before you type next time.

Glenn used to be cool when he was with the Misfits and what-not, but now he's ego-tripped cock star. And the music...... Anyway, in case you forgot, this is the MISFITS bible (MISFITS not Danzig).

I had a choice between Beware and the rest, Beyond Evil, and Vampira. At first I was going to get Beware.. but then I decided on Beyond Evil since it had "Halloween III". I'm like, "what the hell...". Later after spending 20 some dollars, I realize that it's just an instrumental Queen Wasp. It's too bad I hadn't read the Discography on the web sooner, cause it's there. Oh well.. -Anyways- Is Vampira any good? It seems like pretty good deal with 32 songs on it...

After replying to mail, the AOL service made it known that my account was terminated. My dear AOL Fiends----GET OFF NOW! In case you did'nt notice, AOL is a big rip-off. But even worse, they watch you. They know what you are doing. I called AOL numerous times and the final time I learned several things. They knew what I downloaded, when I did, what WWW sites I've visited, who I got mail from, files in the mail, and just about everything I've said in a chat room. I never considered what I do online as wrong...apparently AOL disagrees. Yes, the "It's Coming Down" videos on the Danzig page violate the TOS. One of my many violations. I am outraged and upset about this, and I plan to fight. Along with this letter are numerous more to various departments of AOL. Fiends---be careful, watch what you say. Big Brother is watching.

Okay, with the latest surge of newcomers to this list, I once again find myself saying, "READ THE BACK ISSUES OF THE MISFITS BIBLE." All you pissheaded little holier-than-thou rookies have no idea what and who you are attacking. Now I'm beginning to see why the Crimson Ghost left this list as well as a few other old timers. What you new FLAMErs fail to understand is that there were dozens of bibles before you signed on - dozens of bibles made possible by the contributions of people like the Crimson Ghost, Evil Don, EVB, Nik, myself, and especially Mark and his friends at UVA in the very beginning. If you would read the early issues, or at the very least, EVB's FAQ...you would not have to ask the questions that we have all beaten to death over the past two years. I KNOW you have net access - so just copy down the address of Mark's homepage AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BIBLE and get all of your questions answered . And to Mario and Ellie - if you ever DID read those back issues, you would see that I'm a lot more than a (to paraphrase) "self-promoting, brown nosing dickhead." Know who you're attacking. It's cute though, how you and your little sidekicks huddle around your computer and think of tough things to say behind a keyboard toward people you know nothing about. I've never read anything by you guys that was intellectual or of any value...so don't go badmouthing people like Evil Don and and myself - PEOPLE WHO FUCKING GO OUT AND GATHER INFO FOR THIS LIST AND OFFER FREE SERVICES TO EVERYONE ON IT. Don's doing the tribute tape in case you've forgotten. And I've been dubbing videos and audios of rare Misfits material for bible members as well as designing covers for them.

Date: 7 Aug 1995 22:59:23 -0400 On July 5, Eerie Von and I (John ChrisT) officially notified Big FD management that we were severing our relationship with Danzig. We were unhappy with the musical direction and touring became increasingly difficult. It was time to move on. There are no hard feelings among any members of the band. The decision was not an easy one for either Eerie or myself. Eerie is starting a new band that is blues-based; no name has been announced. Eerie will be singing and playing bass in the new band. I am presently writing songs for a solo album, as well as fielding offers from other bands. Also I am preparing for Ibanez guitar clinics, freelance writing for RIP magazine (see "Ozzy meets Christ" article in October issue), and doing studio work for film composers in Los Angeles. We wish Glenn continued success, and do believe that this was the right decision for us.

Hiya Fiends! - This is my first Bible post (I'm so excited! - at last a use for my computer!) - I love the Bible and Mark's Web page, all this 'Fits info makes me feel all giddy n' goofy - it's great! I've bought up all the Misfits stuff I could get my hands on in my home town - I can fit it all in a shoebox!! Until I make a trip to the Big City it'll have to do. But in the meantime, my craving for anything Misfitian has driven me to the next (il)logical step - forming a Tribute band!! We call ourselves "The Astro Zombies" and play only Misfit tunes (sorry, no Samhain or Danzig - or Undead or Kryst...!), and to the best of our ability, dress like our heroes. Our goal is to perform on a stage littered with "horror props" (coffins, tombstones, lotsa skulls) with some sorta 50s B-movie slide show behind us. - sound cool? then come and see us! Most people's response when I tell them I'm in a Misfits tribute band is either: A- "who?" or B- "you mean like Jem and the Holograms?"!!! We haven't actually played in public yet (it looks like our big debut will be Halloween!!!!), we want to make sure we can do a decent job, and me (guitar) and our bass player are anything but accomplished musicians! Filling the Glenn Danzig spot is Rob N. Graves. Rob used to play guitar and sing in the Victoria (now Vancouver) band "bum". Bum covered "Bullet" on the B-side of their "DebbieSpeak" 7" (available on Lance Rock Records) and the song also appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese pressing of their album "Wanna Smash Sensation". Oh yeah, members of Seattle's Fastbacks sing back up on it! On drums - filling the Manny,Mr. Jim,Robo, etc. spot is a shady character I'll call Mr. Jamie. Mr. J is on loan from another Victoria band, and has played around town in various other bands - and, like the rest of us, shares a love for the Lads from Lodi. "The man on the bottom, we got 'im!" - picking up a bass guitar for the first time to join our demonic quartet (after various "mishaps" with other bass players!), is a chap who likes to call himself Lord Bradley Dunbar III, Duke of Hell. And I (no silly name yet), flail away as best as I can on guitar in this- my first band! Our set list so far consists of (in no particular order) : AstroZombies/138/N.O.T.L.D./She/Vampira/Mommy../LondonDungeon/Marilyn/Hybrid Moments/Teenagers/Martian/SpinalRemains/Last Caress/Skulls/EaglesDare/20Eyes/ All Hell/Bullet/Some Kinda Hate.. We're planning on adding Hatebreeders/ViolentWorld/HorrorBiz/TVCasualty/Halloween.. and anything else we can pull off! (maybe even Cough/Cool!) Sorry to take up so much space, but I wanted to let you all know if you're ever up in Victoria, there's fiends aplenty to hang with and a cool band to see! Also - - if anyone's ever seen a 'Fits tribute band, give me some feedback as to what they did - and if it worked or didn't. And if anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how we can sound/look more like "them" let me know, k? Don't worry, there'll be room on the guest list for everyone! later.....kent.... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Aug 1995 11:35:15 -0700 From: Ricky Hinojos Subject: IRC tips and stuff... Once I asked about IRC, then it came to my attention that not everyone would know how to get onto IRC. I only know the Mac apps, but server, lag, and command info is useful for all: This is a really long post, but I think has some good pointers about IRC. Before you start, you must have MacTCP installed and an IP number. Contact yer netadmin to get one. You may have to do some sweet talking if they are strict about the IPs... To get the software, use Telnet, Fetch or Netscape. You will need binhex and stuffit apps. With fetch/telnet, login anonymous, and email addy as the passwd. ftp://noproblem.uchicago.edu/pub/bolo Bolo is a Mac network game... very cool; best net game there is. :P If you are on a Mac with a relatively good net connection (14.4 or better), dnload one of the bolo starting kits. More on that later... Anyways, go to the utilities, and get the file "homer094.sit.hqx" or a filename very similar. This is one of the IRC clients for Mac. IRCle is also there, but Homer is easier to use, IMHO. Start er up, click the huge box, and use one of the following for a server: irc.portal.com irc.texas.net irc.neosoft.com These servers are pretty stable, although they have their days. Enter in your login name (usually last name), the name people will see you as if they finger your account (usually you first name or a samrt ass msg :), and the nick which you'd like to be know as. I think it is a 9 character limit... port 6667 is fine... click okay, and you should be on yer way. First, you will see a message a la Beavis and Butthead. Wait a few moments, and you will then get a "message of the day" (MOTD). If you enter a command before the MOTD loads, your comp *will* hang. [should be useful to all:] [#misfits is only an example, #guitar, #danzig, #whatever you can thing of] You may have a nick conflict; you will be prompted for another nick. Use underscores, carrots, or other characters to avoid conflicts; although you can use caps in your nick, caps are not unique from lower case letters. There is already a _samhain_ on the net; don't bother using that one. :P Stealing someone's nick is frowned upon. It also leads into a big discussion about finding your own identity, but that's another convo... Let's get to some commands: When you are at the console (on any client), you are logged into the IRC servers, but on not on any channel(s). /join #misfits let's you join a channel /leave #misfits let's you leave a channel The #'s are required; it just means "channel". If you are the first person there, you will get what is known as "ops": operator status. It means you "own" the channel. Ops is a sign of power and status. Regulars to a particular channel get ops due to the fact that they are regs and are cool about being there: no cussing, no flooding (sending useless info to a channel repeatedly), no bad manners, etc... Ops let's you set modes on a channel, also, but this post will be long enough. :) /mode #misfits +o This gives ops to another person. With the servers' hardware being so archaic, "netsplits" occur at the most inconvenient times. More than one ops can help save the channel from getting taken over by some prick who just wants to hassle people on IRC. There are other modes to make the channel secret, limit the number of users, passwd, and invite only. Bad net ettiquette for public channels, these commands are usually used for those kinky #netsex channels. :) So you get on a channel; what can you do? Well, usually, just type what you want to say, and hit enter. It's better is you practice up on English (or whatever the language is for a particluar channel), grammar, and spelling. Bad spelling and run on sentences can get very confusing and slightly annoying. If someone addresses you personally, or if you reply to a question, it is best to specify who you are talking to, such as: "flemming: your TAB sucks". :) This avoids confusion when you send it to a channel with 10 users; all regular text you type is sent to the whole channel. Messaging: there are ways to send private msgs to other parties. /msg brujo you suck! send a msg to only me stating that I suck. It is possible to hold an entire conversation with private messages. How do I find someone? you are thinking... well... /whois brujo would return info about me. /who #misfits will tell you who is on that channel You can also use other methods if someone has changed their nick for entertainment purposes and you cannot find them... /msg #misfits is EVB there? a msg sent to the channel when you are not on the channel; it would be public text. /mode #misfits +n makes incoming public text sent in the above manner impossible for that # /me rocks out on air guitar would show up as: *** Action: brujo rocks out on air guitar When you get on IRC, you will realize how often /me is used. =) IRC is fun, stupid, and time consuming. You can have loads of fun if you get to be a reg... Not everybody was raised up in England, so let's talk some netiquette. IRC Rule #1: never ask for ops. Annoying as hell. show up reg, or be the first person there... IRC Rule #2: never ask for ops repeatedly, 400 times a minute. This will get you kicked off a channel, possibly banned. =) IRC Tip #1: be polite when new to a channel you are interested in. IRC Tip #2: don't be rude. Join up and say "hi"; say "goodbye" before leaving. "thanks you"s also make you look good, trust me. :) And if someone doles out ops, be sure to say thank you. As easy as they come, away they can go, too. ;) IRC Tip #3: there may be lag between you and the other users... it is possible that the other users may be in the middle of a conversation when you join, and may "ignore" you for a moment. Also, the "hello" msgs may be lagged between servers; don't be discouraged. People leave channels too fast because they do not take lag into account when trying to join a conversation. The /whois command returns which server a user is using. Change servers to clear up lag if you want to speak with someone specific. IRC Tip #4: constantly dicking around will put you on the shitlist. Your humor may be unique, but if it offends someone, it is best to clean up your act or get put on the shitlist. IRC Tip #5: trolling.. sheesh, where do i start? "hey you're a girl? wow... how tall are you?" unless this is on a #netsex channel, you are a prime candidate for the shitlist. IRC Tip #6: So what you can't type fast? Chicken peck... If someone corrects your spelling, and s/he is right, say "oops"; don't argue... that shitlist is very accessible. IRC Tip #7: don't kick or ban just because... wow, shitlist comes up a lot in this post... Of course, the shitlist is not a feature of IRC. Some people just don't take diddly squat from anyone. /me looks around like he doesn't know anything about the last sentence. =) Anyways, kids... I'm brujo on IRC. msg me and i'll help ya out any way that i can. I'm a reg on #guitar. Ryq/brujo PS: sorry about the long post that doesn't have any Danzig info whatsoever.

Honest folks, I have to tell ya I'm *so* happy that we have the Misfits bible for discussing our favorite bands & I want to publically thank Mark for running it. Seriously - if any of you have had the misfortune to check in on the USENET alt.music.danzig newsgroup this last week you would have seen the mother of all flame wars spewed forth from a hostile idiot who got way bent outta shape when Mark & I both corrected her that there wasn't a fellow named "Caesar" in the Misfits and that perhaps she was referring to another ban (she claims said Caesar used to be in the Misfits - the same Misfits we all know & love & not some other Misfits - an is now fronting a band named "Viper"). And rather than say that she'd misunderstood or mistaken she launched into a long series of vicious attacks on us. Left me kinda stunned..... Anyway, it makes me so much more appreciative of this group, even the occasional squables here are minor by comparison!!! Few comments on #95 - Andrea Viehoff - If you'd like the Genitorturers articles please send me a snail mail addy & I'll get them off!! Agree a team up between Gen & Glenn would be impressive! She's an amazing and incrtedibly intelligent woman - would be believe that besides fronting the band she's working on an M.D. and for a "day job" does organ retrieval for transplant surgery??? Why am I so glad that Japan is on NTSC - it's because I get so many videotapes of anime from there that I'd be real broke if I had to get them all converted! It's bad enuff when I get tapes from Germany or the UK & have to pay $30-40 to have them transferred from PAL! CTernes - No, Static Age was fine, it was the adulterated phoney "live" album Glenn objected too... BTW are you there - my mail to you keeps bouncing..... Cyberpig2 - Danzig is not dead. Two members left - that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Glenn will hire more musicians said as long as he's around the band will be called "Danzig". (Not that you care of course as you obviously detest them) Oh and BTW they have performed Misfits songs occasionally - I remember hearing "London Dungeon" played in Atlanta on the Thrall tour. I can't blame Glenn though for not wanting to play what must feel like "ancient history" to him though considering he's done so much more since.

Are we to assume, since you're number 2, that there's another of your ilk lurking beneath a rock somewhere in Chino Hills? I wouldn't normally take the time to respond to someone such as you, but I feel the need as your, er, "opinion" is not only mean-spirited and truly misplaced on this list, but pretty ignorant as well. Yes, Glenn & Co. have taken out some pretty good bands to open for them over the years. If anything, that should tell you something about them, particularly that they weren't afraid to have talented bands in an opening slot, as opposed to boring bands that would only make them look that much better. I hardly think they needed help in that regard. As for Glenn joining Metallica for some 'Fits tunes, well, if I remember correctly, Danzig opened for them that night--seems as if more than a few Danzig fans were in attendance as well. BTW, Danzig isn't quite dead yet... Sounds as if you follow Glenn's career rather closely in light of the fact that you dislike him. Or could it be that you envy him just a wee bit...perhaps your own "career" isn't quite as impressive. Next time, save the bile--we're not interested.

Glenn has a lot to offer, musically he is one of the most talented, moving, and powerful songwriters to ever exist. As far as CyberPig goes hes just not capable of coprehending the overwhelmingly genius songs that Glenn sings, Ive been through alot of crap and listening to Danzig would always make me stronger, now I really dont give a damn what anyone thinks. Danzig is the greatest band of all time, and because of the fact that he takes out great bands on tour with him should show you what kind of person he is. Hes not trying to make him look so much better than the opening band, hes trying to give the audience a good show. Does anyone have for sale or know were I can get Lucifer Live and Dirty Black Night? I would appreciate it alot! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Aug 1995 08:56:20 -0500 (CDT) From: Milo Streicher Subject: Vampira CD Someone was asking about the Vampira CD, can't remember who.

Also has the "Live! 79' the Perfect Crime" 7" on there. Never seen it on CD before.

The Misfits' "Night of the Living Dead" was not played in "Return of the Living Dead." The only music played in "R.O.T.L.D." was some bad generic punk rock. Also, "R.O.T.L.D." is not the sequel to George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead." It's just an hour and a half of wasted celluloid trying to live off "N.O.T.L.D." 's infamy. By the way, it's also the only movie where punks, "new wave"-types, & preppies get along and hang out together in grave yards. If you want to see zombies and where Glenn got his inspiration for that song and others, see the (un)holy Romero trilogy: "Night of the Living Dead," "Dawn of the Dead," & "Day of the Dead" ...

I'll be surprised if they >release a 4th single... Actually their recorded output FAR exceeds the album you probably know of, "Portrait of an American Family", so they've got a much larger repertoire to judge them by. They've been around since 1990 and released a series of tapes sold locally in Florida of which I have copies of 4: "Lunchbox", "After School Special", "The Family Jams" and "Refrigerator", all of which I HIGHLY recommend tracking down to anybody who enjoyed "POAAF" as they are full of great otherwise unreleased songs, enough to fill up another several albums. They have put out consistently good tunes and keep getting better and better. So I see no problem in expecting a great 2nd, 3rd and 4th album from them!

I pulled out and old promo 8x10 picture I had, and sent it to the Misfits. I included return postage and everything, all I asked for was an autograph. That was over two months ago, and I haven't gotten shit back. For a band that is trying to start over again and get a good following, they aren't doing a very good job. I'd have to say i'm a little pissed off. Next let me ad that Danzig is dead. All of you little soldiers talk about what a swell guy he is, but let me let you in on something: He doesn't give a damn about his fans. I know i've met the guy. I drove an hour and a half to meet the band, and what was the outcome? Glenn himself calling me a motherfucker because I took a picture of him that he didn't pose for. He called me a motherfucker because he was caught on film looking like a human, not a big tough demon-man. Eerie Von was the same way. He wouldn't even acknowledge the fact that his fans were speaking to him. What a bunch of great guys. I'm glad they broke up. I am still a fan, and always will be, but they got too caught up in being rock stars. As a side note, if anyone is interested in the afformentioned pictures of Danzig(there are quite a few), let me know. Email me on AOL, or write me at: DOYLE341 - UNT PO BOX 13644 - DENTON, TX 76203 PS: The Halloween III song is Queen Wasp without the vocal track.

Sugar ray are another band to try to fuse punk and rap. the song "Mean Machine" is OK, being pure hardcore, but the rest of it more or less sucks. "danzig needs a Hug" is a song that sounds something like you'd hear in the top 40 mtv stations. Synthesizers, and female whiny love-song vocals. So, unless you're really into shit like that, don't get it. Oh yeah, teh Beastie boys are the only good band yet to fuse rap and punk, but while I can't stand to listen to some of their stuff, some of it is cool h/c with rhymin' vocals. Sugar Ray goes into about 2 minutes of rap, plays a little punk, and then goes into more rap. Not my style.

Actually, I,m not Wijnand, but Roger. Wijnand is the guy who owns the computer and he actually HATES the misfits (and punkrock in general). For all others out there, I have the address of a mailorder company here in Holland that regularly offers nice misfits goodies. I don't know if the catalog is free for people outside Holland, but you can at least try. Also, don"t forget to mention what you are looking for, because they don"t print everything they can get in the catalog. The address is: Semaphore po box 213 1740 AE Schagen the Netherlands As far as I know, they're very reliable; they won"t rip you off. Can anyone tell me, when it comes to sound quality, which is the better buy:"Beware...and the rest", or "The complete singles '77-82"? I, myself, have three bootlegs: "Necronomicon" (cd), "Beyond Evil" (cd), and "Ghoul"s night out" (lp), which are all (partly) okay as far as sound quality goes, although "Beyond evil", has these very annoying fade-ins and -outs. I once listened to "Demonomania club", in a record store, and the sound was so bad, my ears were hurting, so be warned! I don"t know if this is true, but someone once told me, that a guy from New York released quite a few misfits (live)boots on which he himself had re-recorded some instruments and vocals. Again, I don"t know if this is true and it seems unlikely to me that you wouldn"t notice. Although I read all back issues, one thing isn"t clear to me yet. Is it true that many of the songs on "Legacy of brutality" were re-recorded by Glenn Danzig and are the songs on the "Misfits" compilation the originals (like the" beware..." and the "Complete..." boots)? Further, was the story of the misfits breaking Bobby Steele"s legs true? It kind of looked like a joke from Bobby to me.

I don't believe I've read anything on this project except the following item I saw in a record book: "In an attempt to exploit their cult fame among the thrash generation, surnameless ex-Misfit brothers Jerry (bass) and Doyle (guitar), always the band's live albatross, formed a dopey metal act, Kryst the Conqueror. On Deliver Us From Evil, a self-released five-song EP, the brothers are aided by an anonymous singer and Skid row guitarist Dave Sabo." I believe someone mentioned the name of the singer recently, who was that again? Anyway, I'm wondering what you think of the "live albatross" comment, now that a lot of you have seen some live performances on tape. Also, in a recent radio interview, J&D said that the "new" Misfits would incorporate some of the Kryst sound as well. What do you think of this? Did J&D ever perform any live shows in their Kryst incarnation? Lastly, "Archangel" is one of my favorite tunes. I know that Glenn wrote it around 1981. Did the Misfits ever record it or perform it live? (Yes, I know, I should consult the Web page, but I just want to get some dialogue going here other than flaming, etc...)

Unix: ---- For those of you using a UNIX shell to access your internet accounts this is totally up to your provider and there is nothing you can do about it. If you don't know if your using UNIX...if all you get is text and you have to browse the WWW with Lynx and you check your mail with a program like Pine....your using UNIX. Now, simple enough....from your UNIX prompt type "irc" if anything happens you're in business....if not your SOL. There may be ways for you to access various Freenets via telnet and possibly use their IRC servers...but that is another lesson. PC (winsock based) ------------------ For those of you using a PC with a SLIP/PPP account or are lucky enough to have an ether or T1 (yeah right) line going into your home...you are by far a lucky bastard. :) First off you must be running the appropriate winsock software (those of you with it will know...and if you have no idea what I'm talking about this does not apply to you. The best IRC software I've yet to find is called mIRC you can FTP it from ftp.iastate.edu /pub/irc/clients/pc/windows If you do not have FTP software (this is for you EVB), as long as you have Netscape version 1.0 or later you can FTP within the browser. Just enter ftp://ftp.iastate.edu as the URL. Some alternate sites for the software are http://gfecnet.gmi.edu/software/files/mirc351.zip or http://huizen.dds.nl/~mirc/index.html It comes in both a 16 and 32 bit version...if you are running OS/2 Warp, Windows NT, or Windows95 get the 32 bit one (actually when I got it they came zipped together) all others...aka you windows 3.1 or 3.11 people need the 16 bit version. Once you get the software, unzip it and follow the instruction in the readme and it should explain how to set everything up for you. Once you have everything installed you can select one of the irc servers that are provided as part of the software to be yours (or if you school/business has it's own use that one) It's best to select a server closer to your geographic location. Once you select that your ready to connect. Once your connected whether it be using a PC or a UNIX shell or a Mac the commands are the same...see Ryq's previous post for a command summary. Some of the fundamentals are: /list (lists all channels...not a good idea to type this, there are usually over 2000 channels running at a time) /join #[channel name] (joins a channel) /part or /leave (leaves a channel) /msg [nickname] [message] (messages that person with the entered nickname) /me [action] (action command...will display in channel like this: "nickname kicks brujo in the head" for example) /quit (exits your irc server) This should get you guys going...if you have any questions you can look for Ryq or I on IRC as "brujo" & "morrigu" usually to be found in #guitar. If enough people get into this we can create a #misfits or #misfits_bible and have real time conversation (or should I say yelling :) I've taken up enough real estate in this issue...take care. /| __ ___ ___ __ |\ ******************************| -- -^ \_/ ^- -- |****************** * morrigu@uclink.berkeley.edu \ ---_ _--- / * * & ----^\| _>_<_ |/^---- Robert Flemming * * rflemmin@ced.berkeley.edu / --- / \ --- \ * ************************************\__/| -^- |\__/************************ \ MMM / ------------------------------ From: cep@NAUVAX.UCC.NAU.EDU Date: Sun, 20 Aug 1995 14:40:34 -0700 (MST) Subject: yes, there's more... Evildon: we understand your perspective on the Misfits' return, even though we firmly disagree. Our only concern was that the whole argument was getting out of hand (as is our dispute with Hunnysmack). Speaking of which... Hunnysmack: yes, we realize that, as far as the M. B. goes, you have seniority over us "pisshead little holier-than-thou rookies" (or would "young guttertrash be more suitable?). However, that's no reason to get arrogant towards us. Take Mark and the Crimson Ghost, for example. (C.G., did you stop posting because of us newcomers, as Hunnysmack assumes?) They, too, have been involved with the bible for the long haul, but do you ever hear them getting snotty with anyone? (Or do I have to read every back issue to discover that, too?) Why don't you take a look in the mirror before associating yourself with people of much more pleasent personalities? Anyway, since you're so much older and wiser, you aught to know by now that attacking us personally will get you nowhere; we couldn't care less. It would be refreshing to, instead, hear you speaking towards the arguments presented against you in the first place, by not only my "sidekicks" and I, but also by the person you originally attacked. And how can you say that you've never read anything of value from us? We may not know much more than anyone else, and perhaps you already knew every little detail concerning the Misfits, but we thought some people might find our story about Nike (several bibles back) both informative and of value. Simply because a few people challenge your "authority" is no reason to resort to infantile name-calling. (That Mario and Luigi remark is so reminiscent of elementary school). I will sincerely say that I think it's great when people like you and Evildon are doing things for all of us (minus 3... that's mature, although I don't recall asking for one of your videos anyway). However, if YOU would read past issues, you would know that my "sidekicks" and I have made a similar offer, and followed through with everyone who responded. In your own words, "It's cute, though, how you... huddle around your computer and think of tough things to say behind a keyboard toward people you know nothing about". Think before you speak, or you'll end up sounding like a hypocrite.

On day #1 we traveled to Vernon, NJ. We were able to find Proedge, the machine company that Jerry & Doyle worked at, but that was about it. How could they survive way out there? There's nothing around. So, anyway the next day we ended up in Lodi and found some cool things related to the Misfits, before going off track and finding ourselves in not-too-great spots around Newark. We did meet somebody who knew a few people from the Misfits, past and present in Manhattan, but he wasn't very helpful as far as anything else goes. Anyway, it was our pilgrimage to Misfits land, and we'll probably end up doing it once a year or so. I'm sorry if you're asking yourself "Who Cares?" right now. I just figured I'd share some recent Misfits experience with all of you. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 95 21:07 PDT From: Kent Bendall Subject: Hollywood Babylon Hiya! - I'd like to put in my two cents worth regarding lyrics. I hope this doesn't get people too bent outta shape, but i'm gonna suggest a correction to the lyrics posted on Mark's web page. Obviously the only person who knows for sure what they (the proper lyrics) are is Glenn, and i don't think he would want to proof-read the entire Bible! Anyways, my small trivial change is in Hollywood Babylon. "Flesh ancient monster design, "Unless, you wanna crop that size" Here's what i think - "size" should be changed to "sign". Why? - 1st: after many, many listens, that's what it sounds like! I know design/sign is kind of a "cop-out" rhyme but rock n' roll has seen worse! - 2nd: it makes more sense! The Hollywood sign in LA originally read "Hollywoodland" until 1949 when the last four letters were torn down, or "cropped" if you will. Well, it makes sense to me! Also, does anyone have any ideas as to what the lyrics to "Feline Nursery" were? Were they the same as LOB's Spinal Remains? And speaking of Spinal Remains... i hope to be posting some "revised" lyrics for that soon, - they're a little different than "i will not touch my amp"! I'm not saying that these will be 100% acurate - just what me and (mostly) Rob N. Graves have deciphered in trying to learn the song. Maybe one day Glenn will publish a book of his lyrics and writings like Jim Morrison did! ...N. Kentation...

I would assume it's total (as I don't think they could afford to press/move 40,000 singles), but after hearing about Nine Inch Nails "limited" EP _Fixed_ (50,000 copies), I don't take the label "limited" at face value anymore. 2) Where/when are the live tracks on the CD from? >relic used on stage by Doyle himself....

It's a low-rent, shameless marketing ploy that's already been beaten to death in the comics industry (Legends of the Dark Knight #1, anyone?).

Personally I get all bent out of shape if people take MY photo without my permission so I can't blame anybody else for doing that. Whatever happened to asking nicely if you can take one? I've never seen Glenn or Eerie refuse anybody who asked & was polite & didn't act like an asshole. They sure haven't minded when I've taken pix & I've got a few photo albums full of Danzig pix from shows over the years. I ALWAYS ask; I've only had a few folks turn me down that honestly hated having their photos taken & I respected them and followed their wishes. Also, I couldn't help but notice that you said "Glenn called me a motherfucker because I took a picture of him" and in your next paragraph you offer "quite a few". There's a bit of a difference between "a" picture and snapping off a roll or two like some paparazzi.... >From: MisfiFiend@aol.com >"danzig needs a Hug" is a song that sounds something like >you'd hear in the top 40 mtv stations. Is this song actually about Danzig? I'd be curious as to the lyrics. BTW did anybody ever hear the song "Devilman" by the Barbed Wire Dolls? I have a 7" of it & I definitely thinkGlenn's the inspiration for it.

This is just a hunch, but that book might be "The Werewolf" by Montague Summers(1880-1949?). Monty was an englishman who wrote about witches, the occult, vampires, and general good stuff like that. A friend told me about the book. (1st pub. 1933? latest pub. 1966?) he said it had some latin spells...

There is no date on the release of Static Age and it is doubtful that the "Teenagers" limited set will be out at all. For those of you who pre ordered these from Vinyl Ink, my deepest apologies!

I'm back after my summer hiatus, which I must say was incredibly boring (save for seeing White Zombie a couple of times!) Anyway, it's so nice to be back. It wasn't nice, however, to come back and find out what I found out. I know this is all old news to the rest of you, but the loss of John and Eerie is pretty devastating to me. Of course I'm looking forward to new and fresh sounds from all of the members, but a 'Danzig' show will just never seem the same again. I managed to add quite a few things to my M/S/D collection over the summer. My boyfriend had decided some time ago that he no longer liked any of the three, and after a slight bit of coaxing he decided to part with his collection, and being the wonderful boyfriend that he is he decided to give it all to me. I thought that was so sweet since he could have sold it for probably hundereds of dollars, but that's off the topic. Anyway, hopefully by the next issue I'll have time to post the new stuff I got. The majority of the things are bootlegs, and I'd like some input from you guys as to how much they might be worth or how easy/difficult these items are to get. It's hard for me to get information like that living in the sticks in Indiana, and I think there are only about two people that I would trust to give me information like that which would be accurate, but those two didn't know anything about this stuff. Nearly everyone on the Bible is so knowledgeable about stuff like that that I don't even waste my time asking others unless I have to! Well, can't really think of anything else to say right now. I'm really glad to be back and I'm looking forward to another great year!

Unhappily, I wasn't there. I wasn't knowning about it , cause the divulgation had been very bad. It was the first time they played here and I've read that it was a KILLER CONCERT. Danzig hipnotzed the crowd. He was nice with the fans, but don't gave a damn to the jornalists, denying to answer questions about SAMHAIN and MISFITS , except to the fans... I'll try to get something from it ( video, recorded tape , etc), and if you get interested I can send for you. I'd like that somebody answer me this : Is there on USA two versions of DANZIG 4 cover ? One is almost completally black, with a draw that remember the Danzig/Samhain skull and other just witha 4 on. Sorry for the long mail. Marcelo J.

I know you are sticking up for your idol and all, but facts are facts. Glenn and Eerie didn't mind that I was taking pictures. They actually posed for most of them. I've even got Glenn smiling. The fact is once the fans are gone they act different. I wasn't with the fans ouside, I was inside with the band. Once they are out of fans reach, they have a whole other attitude. I took a candid picture and he threw a fit. Plain and simple. This whole "please" an "thank you" manners trip you are laying on doesn't cut it. Calling a fan "motherfucker" isn't so polite if you ask me. So next time you respond to someone opinion, make sure you were at least there so you won't look like you don't know what you are talking about. Thank you. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Sep 1995 14:53:36 -0500 (EST) From: 02tjthompson@bsuvc.bsu.edu Subject: Glenn.... I've been lurking around on the Bible for about 9 months or so...and I have yet to post since I didn't really have anything worth contributing. But with mark's latest post about Caroline canceling the Static Age LP and the X-Mass release has finally prompted me to emerge from my silence. If this is anything to do with Glenn butting in...I have finally started to lose some respect for him. I've kept my mouth shut when other people have bashed Glenn here in the Bible, knowing that someone (usually EVB) would provide some sort of counterpoint. But I can't help but feel cheated by this latest incident. Why can't Glenn just stay out of it and let Jerry and Doyle get on with their "new Misfits"? I still am wary of what the new 'fits sound will be without him....but dammit at least let them make their own attempt! Enough of a rant for my first post. Belated thanks to Brent and EVB for your work on the audio and video tapes! Later Fiends.

"Night of the Living Dead" ... "Bloodfeast" ... "Die, Die, My Darling" ... just to name a few. In "Ugly Things" #12 (the one w/ the Jerry Only interview), several songs were paired up w/ films the songs' titles were taken from. Well, tonight (Saturday) on NBC, there was a special called "Attack of the Killer "B" Movies!" hosted by Elvira (yes ... the "Mistress of the Dark") and some freaks from shows like "Saved By the Bell" and "California Dreams". On the show, they played clips of a few films the titles of which any Misfits fiend would recognize ... "The Wasp Woman" ("Queen Wasp") ... "Monster from Green Hell" (Uhhh ... "GREEN HELL"?). That was about all of them that I could spot. If you haven't seen these films, don't run out to the video store to try and find them because they were ... well ... HORRIBLE. Not in the ranks of "Plan 9 ..." but pretty bad all the same. But I guess that's they're appeal. Anyway, I just thought I'd let all you fiends who hadn't seen the show know ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Sep 95 23:03:21 -0700 From: Vandal Subject: Misfits Sightings In case anyone cares, or hasnt seen this yet, I was watching comedy central and I saw a labor day weekend commercial where a punk with his back facing the camera for a second or two had a large picture of the Crimson Ghost on his jacket. It was pretty cool, well, maybe not, but I was bored. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Sep 1995 09:55:16 -0400 From: She Subject: bobby I talked to bobby on the phone on sunday.

I'd meant to send in comments on Bible #98 but I forgot that we'd be going back to a twice a week schedule (I guess I was waiting for an annoucement) so then #99 came in and I was like "what the..." Us folks long out of school do tend to forget everybidy else's schedule... so some of these are a Bible late but I wanted to send 'em along anyway.... It really sucks that "Teenagers" and "Static Age" have been cancelled... I am majorly bummed out about this! Comments on #98: ============ >From: DarkLo730@aol.com >I have heard that Dave V will be joining the Misfits for at least a year. Where did you hear this? Man I've heard so much conflicting stuff on this rumor! >From: "Northern Graphics, Inc." >Um... am I reading this right? You own actual Misfits *equipment*? If you >don't mind me asking, how did you manage to acquire that (assuming the >staute of limitations has expired or all involved parties are dead or in >prison, etc., etc.) Well, it's sort of a long story. I bought the guitar from a fellow named Lou Vomero at at store called Musicman in Rutherford NJ about 5 years ago - he'd told me that he'd bought it from Jerry and Doyle who are friends of his. Many years later however I found that J&D had loaned it to him for display purposes along with the strap & this fellow had sold it anyway. (he'd also traded the strap to Jonathan Grimm) I offered to give it back to Doyle as I felt terrible about it (obviously not having known this at the time as I would not have bought stolen merchandise!) but he told me to keep it, for which I am very grateful as it's probably the coolest thing in my collection (well, that and the latex shirt from the Canstpeak vid but that was a gift directly from Glenn...) I will treasure it always - I've been offered several times what I paid (which was not cheap, but then again, isn't that what Visa cards are for?) but I'd never part with it. Anyway, it's very cool looking - black with a cool shaped red & black pick guard, blood painted dripping down the frets, has the Crimson Ghost paint on the back & various stickers & things carved into it.... also some major gouges which took me a while to figure out how they got there until I realized they were from the huge spikes on Doyle's outfit! Right now it's propper in a spot of honor in my room tho someday I'd love to make a suitable display case for it. ----------- >From: ChristoTer@aol.com >Subject: You thought it was over.....

As for the last Danzig show - it was in south America so I haven't heard any reports. I was at the last Danzig show in the USA tho in Orlando an I should have figured omething was up when John Christ came onstage wearing a bright ORANGE jersey!! ---------- >Devilmagic@aol.com Uh, don't you mean that your newsletteer is free thru American Online instead of free ONLINE? Most folks on the internet aren't associated with AOL no matter what AOL would like to have you believe. If you can't figure out how to send files out of AOL or get a web page (the best idea overall I think) why don't you archive them somewhere where people can retrieve them via FTP? Just a suggestion. ====== Latest Danzig rumor (heard from EV who heard this from Joey C.) is that the guitarist from Skinny Puppy might be playing on the next album.

Glenn has no rightsz to any Misfits material. He gets 40% of anything they release and he can make his own Misfits products like shirts and lazer guns and surfboards or whatever the hell else he wants. But music he can not do. The tapes are now owned by Caroline and it's up to the current Misfits to choose what is released and then run it by Caroline for the final word. As stated in last issue, it appears that the box set will finally come out in early '96. > From: Andrew Lieberman Share > Their address is PO box 7000-117, Alta Loma, Ca. 91701 > or http://www.cyborg8t.com/dstrange Well this url certainly doesn't work. there is a www.cyborg.com but they claim to know nothing about this. and... adios mark ------------------------------ From: UJCCURRY@msuvx1.memphis.edu Date: Mon, 04 Sep 1995 23:10:11 -0500 (CDT) Subject: singers? So if dave does not work out how about these guys. Darby Crash - 1 He sang for cool punk band the Germs 2 In some photos he has a devilock thing going on 3 He is dead (fits right in with the Misfits image) or Squiggy(from Laverne&Shirley)-1 Wears punk rock leather jacket 2 Has a small devilock thing going on 3 Would look good starting a show by busting out of a coffin and saying "Hello" Oh crap, sorry about that, i'm really bummed that TFM and Static are not coming out. Damn. Anyway someone mentioned DR. Strange records, and i thought i would tell anyone who cared that i got treated crummy by them. I ordered a Dead Kennedys tape and 2 Misfits tapes from them. It took forever for them toget to me. After a couple of complaint letters i got my tapes about five months later. The DK one was all right but the 2 misfits were not complete, as promised in the catalog. They did say i could get 10% off my next order, because they were late, but it was such a pain to buystuff from them ... jamil ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Sep 1995 12:21:18 -0400 From: Brent Eyestone Subject: members only update Hi, it's "that hunnysmack guy" again in .edu mode. Anyway, I just shipped the last four "Evil is..." videos, so Thomas Envall, Andrew Smetek, Travis Krause, and Chris McClain - keep checking your mailboxes. Since I'm back at school now, the video will be temporarily out of print until December or so. As of now, all orders that have been received have been sent, so anyone aside from the four above who didn't get their orders, please contact me and i will review my records... As for the "Hymns from Hell" audio tape - it's still in print and all orders have been shipped. If you need a copy (or additional copies), e-mail me for details. Finally, that is absolutely rediculous - the whole cancelation of the Caroline-released Misfits items. I smell Glenn, too. *Mark - do you know if Caroline has already pressed and/or packaged the Cd's and records? If so, we could be in big trouble because I'm sure some will leak out here and there and WE AS MISFITS FANS will be stuck paying lots of $$$ to some thieving bastard... Am I alone in this thought?
