Geffen Records ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: THE MISFITS V. THE NEWFITS (the final discussion) From: dave naked Date: Mon, 07 Oct 1996 09:56:19 EDT Well, here i sit sick as all hell, home from school...so why not write a dum post, right? (right)...the battle of the century, THE MISFITS V. THE NEWFITS (the final bout). You knew it was bound to come to this, and here it is. ROUND 1...the songs... The misfits...we all know and love these classic tunes, and if you dont...what the fuck are you doing here??? The newfits...hmmm, well...out of the three Ive heard, decent. "The Hunger" sucks major dick, "Blacklight" is good, and "The Haunting" stands up Glenn material, even tho the riff sounds way to much like "Attitude". ROUND 2...live show... The misfits....always put on a good live show, full of fun mess ups, and a great changing setlist (not to many "Static Age" songs tho : ( . A great live band. The newfits...well, they do have a long ass set, which the misfits never really had...but it lacks something, its to produced. Barely any messups, everythings a bit to laid out. (For example, listening to the 9:30 from back in 82, "Die Die My Darling", over the entire ending Jerrys screaming "Fucking Die, Fucking Die, Fucking Die...."...that would never now). The set list (altho including basicly everything) never really changes except for a few rotating songs. Good show, never the less. ROUND 5...singers Face it, altho Mikies great, Glenns just better. For looks, tho...hmmmm...i guess Glenn wins again. Michale: shiny leather pants, pretty cool gloves tho (if you can call em gloves). Glenn: what could beat the skull gloves and shirt (an on occaison boots). Mike did prefect the hair thing, something glenn could never really get right (messy lock). ROUND 5...ive ran out of stuff to compare, so...the decision ********************************************************************************************* The Newfits win....why? The misfits werent our band, they exsisted for six short years and it was over. Im sure most (okok, all) of us started liking them after "Garage Days" and/or "Mother" (or at least "Danzig I"). Guys, as much as i love em, its a dead band. Heres a new thing Jerrys got going...we can support them, we can go to shows (did you ever think youd actually see the misfits????), we can get new albums. THE RETURN OF THE MISFITS!!!! (so what if im a bit late) btw: please excuse all typos, mistakes, nonsence...as i said i am sick, and i dont feel like proofreading. dave Dave Naked davenaked@juno.com My GirlFriends Possessed MGFP@Juno.com ...what pants.. ------------------------------ From: JOSEPH THEUERKAUF Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 11:19:11 -400 Subject: VILLAINS DEMO okay, folks, if ya still haven't gotten word, here's the thing on the Smiling Villains demo that i'm offering: you send me (via USPS) your name and address and stuff and one (1) US dollar, and i send you a demo of three bands recorded on high quality cassette previously occupied by any band i select at random from among my collection of tapes from high school. (i was pretty stupid in high school, so the demo could be on anything from AC/DC Live to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, but it will be there in its entirety.) if you want, i would appreciate it if you would mail me so that when i finally do get your info and then compile my list of who to send these to, i have your address to notify you. thanx tonz peeple. any questions mail me at theuejos@aquinas.edu jt ------------------------------ From: LEAH A JUSTIS Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 11:25:45, -0500 Subject: Halloween Show Was anyone there when the misfits played earlier this year at the Troc? After the show there was a big police presence on the street. I've been there a lot and this isn't the norm. I myself got harassed, and I heard a story about a kid getting beat up or something. Now they are playing there on Halloween, and Halloween being a fiend's favorite holiday, what do you think that security will be like for that show? My guess is that they'd beef up security after a John Tesh concert on Halloween, just because it's Halloween, so I don't know. Well, anyone who is going and wants to talk about it e-mail me, or anyone who's going and just wants to talk about anything. I'm almost positive the tickets are already on sale...

If you are, sorry bout dat, if not, then... There's a great German video fanzine out, and there's a ton of Misfits stuff in it. It's called 'Madrezid Videofanzine Vol.II', and it features a lengthy interview with Jerry (in full make-up) from the European tour in March. There is also over 30 live tracks from that same tour, including some soundcheck performances. These were recorded for the fanzine with Jerry's permission. As well as all that, there's a lot of good clips by new German bands, an interview and performance from Tocotronic, and tons of other stuff. I got my copy from Marco, who put the whole thing together. It costs 25 DM if you're in Germany, and 30 DM outside. His address if you're interested is: Marco Frank, Sackring 49, 38118, Braunschweig, Germany. This thing is about three hours long, it's pretty damn good.

About the record company assuring you that they won'y screw with the way that you sound. What else are they going to say? I can only remember Geffen not wanting to release the last Nirvana album because they didn't feel it was as marketable as Nevermind. Eventially they broke and released in the original form but do you want to have to go through this. I'm not tring to say that sighning with Geffen is a bad idea. I'm in support of it but I would just watch out. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 13:39:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Kenneth Corch Subject: Samhain Box Hey all, Someone last issue wanted to know where I got the info on the Samhain box set. Well from the big man himself, Glenn. I got to meet him after a concert in April 95 and I asked him about it. He said what was to be in it, but even then wasn't sure when it would be released because of the demise of Plan 9. He said he was looking for a new label. About 7 or 8 months ago I emailed Eerie Von and asked him if he knew anything about it and he said that he's finished with his side of the project (ie doing the pictures) and that the rest was up to Glenn. I think about 5 issues ago Mark or someone posted that Glenn said the Samhain box was to be put off a while longer.

I dont think so, i have never met anyone after a show that just took the time to sign as many autographs and actually ASK every fan if they enjoyed themselves, well besides ROnny James Dio, but thats another story, so hey, to all you little shits who hate jerry and doyle, you dont know what the hell your talking about, so just dont even try talking and putting shit in this digest that isn't true. john ------------------------------ From: "Dorin M.

If >you want to mosh and slam, go for it, just let the rest of us enjoy >the band without worrying about getting someones combat boot in the >spine. I dont need to show off to my friends how tough I am. I totally agree with this... I have nothing against people moshing and nothing against the people just watching. I, honestly, like to be up front... The only thing I hate are those arsehole jocks(or whoever) that just go for the pit. It's so stupid; they endup running in a circle by themselves cause no one wants to get hurt. Then, of course, they elbow everyone in the vicinity. NOW THAT'S PUNK ROCK!!! YEAH!! OI OI OI!!

The others are good too, but this one rools. Can't wait for the album. And to whoever said the new Descendents album rocked, its pretty good, but the old stuff is much better. In my opinion anyways.

This sounds like a wah or an envelope filter or something of that nature, but I cannot be sure. Anyone know? Also, at the beginning of Death Comes Ripping, he does some wierd sounding thing that I have no clue what it is. My band spent a long time trying to figure this one out, but we couldn't so I settled on a pick slide, which I don't think it is. Anyone know about this also?

What the hell does it mean? Did Glenn just make up his own words? I assume it has to do with murder. Anyone know????

Can you get them to do some colored vinyl 7" with non-CD B-sides or something? I know there's no money in it, but it's kind of a tradition with the Misfits to have rare 7"ers. --Adam ------------------------------ From: MR JOSEPH F MARINO Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 23:07:47, -0500 Subject: hey Hey Just wondering how many are coming to Philly for the Halloween show?

It has a huge article with a kool picture of the "new" group. The article talks about how kool the misfits are and about various band members. It says stuff about Bobby Steele and something about how he smoked pot in the hospital, or something like that. It is the Nov. 255 issue. You should go get it. See, if it wasn't for me you would never know about this stuff. Personally I like a lot of different types of music. I like industrial: like KMFDM and Ministry. I like punk like misfits, NOFX, and Bad Religion. I also like Marilyn Manson but I don't know what catagory he fits into. This is the longest post I've ever put up, be proud.

This has got to be the most ridiculous example of the Glenn vs. the Misfits argument. Aside from the fact that (as Mark pointed out) NONE of the Misfits technically have any say when old material is reissued, some people are acting as if Glenn is purposely putting out Danzig 5 to "steal" some of the sales of EAD (or vice versa, with Jerry trying to compete with the new Danzig album). Not only would this be idiotic (because Glenn will receive 40% of EAD's royalties, so why would he WANT to curb its sales?) but it also assumes that they are both trying to compete with each other. (Plus the fact that about 3/4 of all Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig records have come out on or around Halloween, so it's hardly a coincidence that two more are). also, it was stated that the new release date of Danzig 5 will be Novembert 6, but that may jst be the date of the Canadian domestic release. (whereas the US-date may still be Oct. 29th; sometimes Canadian dates are a week or two later). Does anyone know for sure? And as for the "Michale Graves sucks" thread, too many people seem to be judging him without actually seeing him sing. And even if you do see him, and he sounds bad, bear in mind that not all live shows are equal; you could see them on an "off" night, or just be in a venue with crappy sound. Too many people see a band that they like only once, and then come away disappointed, saying "they suck live." BTW "Deep" kicks fucking ass. -BANE "you've got NOTHING! beg for mercy! scream my name!" ------------------------------ From: Misfit4798@aol.com Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 22:27:28 -0400 Subject: halloween First off I want to say, that it was really cool that Michale Graves posted last issue, to help clear up some issues. Secondly, he mentioned something about a possible D.C. show, could it be true? I really hope they play D.C. again. Not to sound like an ass, but last time I posted, everyone was arguing about the MISFITS and Geffen, and I mentioned that it would probabaly be for distributive purposes only, and from what Michale said, it looks as if it would be true. Another thing, everyone is dogging Glenn and Bobby, I mean give these guys a break. A performers' music is constantly changing, especially if they've been around for almost 20 years. Personally, I don't think Glenn has any 2 albums that sound similar. Also, I may be the only person on the Bible that thinks this way, but "Kryst the Conqueror" is an awesome tape, this also shows progression of a band over time. Maybe I just like it because I used to be a Metalhead, years ago. I bought the tape 3 weeks ago from Adam Kriney, and I lost his e-mail address, so I have to thank him publicly, on the Bible. Thanks for all the extras and the photocopied stuff, e-mail me if you want to talk. Back to what I was saying, I think that the Kryst tape rules, I hope Mo decides to release the entire album one day, and if he doesn't, I'm willing to buy a copy, if he's willing to sell me one. Also, what ever happened to the singer for "Kryst..."? I found a copy of the "Shocking Return" cd in a record shop in Baltimore, and Michale is truley the right choice. Everyone keeps comparing his vocals to Glenn's vocals from the old songs, which we're all so used to hearing, and it's no wonder some people are disappointed with Mike, because He's not Glenn. Get the point HE'S NOT GLENN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glenn doesn't want anything to do with the Misfits or us(a.k.a. Fiend club members). As for the new songs Michale is untouchable!!!!!!!! And as far as I'm concerned he sounds great on all of the old ones too. Besides his awesome vocals, he has an awesome stage presence as well, and seems to be just as fan oriented, as the other guys. Well thats all for now. E-mail me if you want to chat, I have a very open mind, and to talk about the Misfits. -"Lie on the floor and let your body die,..."

Only $30. Anybody intrested. Will trade for a singles collection 1977- 1983 cd in good conditon. Also have a sealed Kryst The Conqueror tape for $20 and a Autographed Kryst the Conqueror tape for $20. I have an kryst the conqueror CD autographed by Doyle for $30. I have a Danzig sealed Her Black Wings cassete single for $15. Does anybody out there have any Undead or Kryst The Conqueror bootlegs? Lief Codianni you ordered a Misfits portland CD but did not give me your e-mail adress. How did you expect me to reply or send you a CD? Mark you heard my Misfits portland tape. How wolud you rate it on a scale of one to ten? Does anybody know how much a 7" picture disc of Cough Cool / She / Return of the Fly is worth. It says there are only 777 of them? Where was The Shocking Return recorded at & the Date. Is there a discography of all known bootlegs? Why is making videos a bad thing thing. If you don't like them just don't watch them. I got rid of MTV because it was crap and they never played videos from cool bands like Alien Sex Fiend, Fields Of The Nephilim, & Sisters Of Mercy. I think the only thing that could go wrong with the Misfits signing to Geffen is that their albums might become over produced. I don't think they will sell out like The Damned, The Clash, or Siouxsie & The Banshees and go all disco & alternative psuedo goth. At least I hope not. Does the Undead still make CDs? when will new material come out? Is there an Undead web page? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Oct 1996 01:50:38 -0400 From: Horror Businessman Subject: JACKETS why arent't doyle and namely jerry wearing their kick ass leather jackets? i think they fuckin rule and add to the image, plus they are black. they are pretty scary. anyone else think that? lets demand that they wear them or we will boycot the shows. real good idea, huh? ap ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Oct 1996 12:13:52 -0400 (EDT) From: Kenneth Corch Subject: blackacidevil release date Hey all, Ive seen some posts on here that Danzig 5 is going to be released in November. However when I was in Tower Records this past Saturday they had the release date of October 29. What gives??? Is it possible to have it released on different dates in different areas of the country?

He played on a lot more than 2! Bill was in the band for a brief spell in late 1981, when he replaced Robo, and then on a full-time basis from early 1983, when he replaced Chuck Biscuits, to early 1985. He drummed on the albums 'My War', 'Slip It In', 'In My Head', 'Loose Nut', 'Family Man', and the 'Process Of Weeding Out' EP. > the lyrics SUCK. No offence, but Jerry can't write lyrics worth crap. Hate to say this, cos I love the Misfits, and I think Jerry's a great guy and a fantastic bassist, but I think you got a point on this. The Kryst stuff was musically okay, not spectacular, but the lyrics were awful, and some of the new Misfits stuff is pretty bad lyrically. Don't get me wrong, I think Blacklight and The Haunting are two of the best Misfits songs yet, both in terms of music and lyrics, but titles like 'Talons of Steel' don't exactly fill me with confidence. Sounds like a bad 80s metal title... I second the motion to let Graves do the words! > Misfits served their fans above and beyond the call of duty. Especially Chud Agreed. This guy is totally cool. When they played in Scotland, I stole one of his drumsticks and then had the balls to ask him if he'd sign it for me! He laughed like hell, shook my hand, signed it, and he and Graves posed for pics with us. Good guys, both of them.

Ozzy promised a backstage pass to whoever pulled the craziest stunt during the show , and a guy in a glo-go skull tee promptly charged the stage during Paranoid and was embraced by Ozzy. Wonder if he got the pass?! Anyway , Glenn's set was about 40 minutes and he played every Misfits tune except Demonomania and ....oh , just kidding!! From the other reviews I've seen of this tour , he played the same set he's been playing. The musicianship was really good and the energy was outstanding , but the SOUNDMAN SUCKED!! It's pretty fucking bad when the backup vocals are louder and clearer than Glenn's. Sheesh! Also , for you Angry Red fanzine subscribers , if you haven't gotten your October issue yet don't panic - cuz I haven't mailed them. I will mail them later this month at the same time the Halloween Special Editions go out. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Oct 1996 13:48:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Robert Flemming Subject: 7th house promo Well I just got my hands on the Danzig "7th House" promo, and figured I'd deposit my two pennies as well. You ever listen to something and not really care for it, but after a few more listens you decide that it rocks? Well this is how I feel about the three songs on the CD. "7th House" is pretty cool song, fast by comparison to other Danzig tunes. His voice is so buried in the mix that I think it actually hurts the song. It's certainly "industrial-ish" though. I didn't think that he would add the digital effects to a song like "Hand of Doom" but it comes across well and is a good song. I like the breaks in it. Maybe it's just because any Sabbath song is good one. "Hint of Her Blood" is basic by musical standards, but the vocals make the track. I think this is a classic Danzig tune...simple riffs and slamming vocals. It's different, the songs are so far not the same kinda thing that one would come to expect, but change isn't always a bad thing. I like it, if you listen to it with "open ears" I think it comes across rather well. There you have... BTW: The new Danzig home page address is on the CD.

First, I understand that you asked to keep posts short, but in the same issue there is a 6 page...short novel, really. It's not just the fact that it was so long that upsets me, but it had nothing to do with the Misfits. Why was it in here? Sure, "llama" had some great points, but he/she wrote about Pearl Jam primarily, and other completely non-related bands. There was absolutely no mention of the Misfits or even the most remotely related bands like, say, Metallica. This is the MISFITS BIBLE not a speakers corner for idealogical propaganda. My other concern is with multiple posts. Can't people say what they need to say in one post? Instead of sending a seperate response to every post from last ish. read the damn thing through, collect your thoughts and address them all at once. Well, that's all my bitching. About derogatory remarks to Glenn (or anyone alse for that matter), Mark, last issue you addressed this concern so I would like to apologize for my remark about Glenn's hairline. It wasn't meant to be derisive, it was just a lighthearted observation, but you are right in the end it would have done nothing but upset people. Don't get me wrong, I think Glenn is great, and every time I've met him he has been a joy to talk to, but all the same, I am sorry. As for my post last ish., I hope I wasn't out of line, but I would have said the same for any other of my friends. On to the lighter side of things. Would I be able to obtain a copy of "Deliver Us From Evil" and/or "Shocking Return" or any other quality recordings with some or all of the new songs from the christoter(is that spelled right?)@aol.com address you posted last issue? And lastly, I guess I'd like to say that I'm glad Michale posted last ish. and I hope he cleared all that garbage up. Now look, I've become one of those long-posting morons, full of hot air I hate so much! Oh well, sorry Mark. D.ETH ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 08 Oct 1996 16:41:20 -0500 (EST) From: ww982@WCUVAX1.WCU.EDU Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #240 Sorry about all those "=" and "20"'s in my last post. I have no idea how they got there... and if they're in this one too, I'm fucking sorry. Anyway, no one was probably able to read my post. Not that anyone would respond to anything I said anyway, since I wasn't flaming or going "punk is dead" or "i am a teenager who ain't scared of anything." so this time i'll talk about something you guys seem to give a damn about: PUNK IS DEAD!! Yes, and that's why it's cool. It has permeated mainstream music. Punk is now POP! That's right! Punk is popular! Oh no! I guess that means everyone has to start listening to old Cure albums to be cool! THE MISFITS HAVE A TEENY-TINY FAN BASE! Untrue! Just because there are only 700 people on the bible, that doesn't mean there are only 700 Misfits fans. Not everyone has a computer, and not every Misfits fan wears Misfit shirts. I used to know this nerdy looking red-haired kid who was the biggest Misfits fan in the world. He wore flannel shirts, glasses and was an honors student... so would you kick him out of the Pit? Probably. I'd rather hang out with him than a fucking Nazi any day. A couple of days ago, I went into Burger King (yeah, man, I eat at CORPORATE ESTABLISHMENTS). I was wearing a black jacket with a tiny Misfits patch on it. The guy behing the counter said, "So, are you a big Misfits fan?" and I said, "Yeah, give me a fucking Chicken sandwich with cheese, no lettuce, and large fries. Oh yeah, and anarchy and fuck society and ROCK!!" YES, I ATE THE FUCKING CHICKEN SANDWICH! The truth is, if it wasn't for the whining and bickering and (god forbid) HUMOR on the bible, there wouldn't be a reason to have it. We could just click on the News section in Mark's pit and spend the rest of the afternoon on the Beavis & Butthead page. JOURNAL OF FIENDS: I want to put something together... tell me what you think: A "yearbook" of fiends. A zine of pictures and quotes from Misfits fans, for fans, and maybe for the band. They'd probably like something like that. It shouldn't cost too much to produce, all I would need is for ALL OF YOU to send me fiendish photos...

If the Misfits are willing to sacrifice their integrity by leaving the punk scene and alienating a good portion of the fans who supported them throughout the years by signing to a major in order to gain mainstream success (MONEY!!!!), than they're obviously selling-out in my book.

There were some major problems with the first postcard mailing of the summer and several thousand of them did not go out. Well, they are now sitting here in a box next to me (Thanks RW!). These postcards feature the "Shocking Return" artwork by our own Neil McAllister, as well as the tour dates for July and some out of date info. If you'd like one, please send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Mark Kennedy; 630 Cabell Ave #4; Charlottesville VA 22903 The postcards are 5 inches x 7 inches, so please send a LARGE envelope. Again, the postcards are 5x7 so please send a large envelope. By the way, the postcards are LARGE, please send a LARGE envelope. Your envelope should be large - at least 5inches x 7inches. Got it? I'll send extras to anyone who can tell where Danzig played on the Ozzfest in Canada, other than the Hamilton, Ontario show. Next, my brother has some stuff for sale, including Ugly Things #14 (Misfits update from the end of '95), Chiller Theatre #3 (Jerry interview with Al Ryan and a lot of old pictures), FeH #12 (the issue in which Jerry first announced the return of The Misfits, autographed), and some other stuff.

I don't know. It won't be out for a few more seeks, and I don't have an inside scoop on his dealings. I'm sure, as usual, it's a major departure from his previous release, but I've heard the same criticism of DANZIG 1 and 2 when they first came out. I was pretty dissapointed in his last 2 CDs, so It'll be good to see him make another move. (I still say he's a scumbag . . .) TIMES SQUARE will be playing ERIE, PA on Friday, OCT 18; at HEADLINERS. I'll have more details next week. Our show in Montreal was lots of fun. Dave got kicked out of the country, so we used the drummer from the opening band, JINX as a fill in. You can imagine that it was a shaky set, but a fun time was had by all as various members of JINX and the audience joined us onstage for some songs. Despite all the shit I'd heard for years about Montreal (rude FROGS, no scene, etc . . .), It was the best time I've had at a gig in years, and the most punk as fuck scene I've experienced since '79. > From: cybernaut@mtsi.com > Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #240 > > Does the Undead still make CDs? when will new material come out? >Is there an Undead web page?

There is a new UNDEAD CD in the works, though I can't say when or if it'll ever come out. Once I have a few songs finished, I'll make some samples for the website.

Now if the Pistols make another album, contrary to Guitar World Article 2 or 3 months ago, then he is a sell out.

Im not sure how to take it, because the misfits have always done everything "their way" from back in the day when the cut their own fucking sleeves for records, made their own patches, stickers etc. Obviously, throughout the years, as popualirty grows, people do all those things for you, but you still have freedom with the music. Ive also been a Bad Religion fan all my life, and am friends with the band, yet i see an obvious change in their music since signing to Atlantic.

Okay, now explain WHY that's a bad thing. Sacrifice "integrity"? Alienating a bunch of bullheaded yahoos who think this kind of shit is their business? I swear, people like you convinced me long ago that to be punk you had to be an idealistic moron, something I seem to have outgrown, sorry. [long speech deleted] Fuck this. I don't care what you think and neither do they. People who listen to name callers like you end up feeding their depression and killing themselves with a shotgun. I dont give a shit who is on what label and neither should you. It's none of your business! If you can't listen to music you LIKE because it's on MTV or whatever, then you're a wimp who cares too much about what other people think of you. And I'm so sorry that the rest of the country is waking up to what cool music is all about and spoiling your exclusive little party. Alienating! Mainstream success! Jeezus! You're insane. It's like a Venture Capitalist, see? These VC's go running around Silicon Valley, looking for dudes in college who have blazing cool ideas but no money to start a company to develop and market. Then they provide capital in return for a chunk of the newly-formed company and some say about how to run it, usually in case the guy with the ideas happens to be a complete moron about running a business. In this case, Geffen is betting that if they throw a little change Jerry's (& co) way in return for selling their next album, they'll be able to tour more or better and get more people to figure out that they like the Misfits and sell a bunch of albums. They don't care about a bunch of high-school cliqueishness & 'keeping it in the scene' cos punk rockers are no better than anybody else, they're just cooler, which entails no special priveleges or anything like that, I will remind you. Jerry & co. are betting that Geffen or somebody at Geffen won't try to fuck with the band in some executive geek's opinion of 'broadening the market'. I don't think Geffen has a track record of doing that sort of thing anyway. I personally think Jerry (& co of course) have a pretty good bet there. They get more stability in the operations of their band, access to high quality studios to make it easier to record, and a bunch of help touring & stuff. Anyone think I'm insane?

If the Misfits are willing to sacrifice > their integrity by leaving the punk scene and alienating a good portion > of the fans who supported them throughout the years by signing to a > major in order to gain mainstream success (MONEY!!!!), than they're > obviously selling-out in my book. I'm having a hard time following your logic here. How do the Misfits allienate there fans by sighning with Geffen? The act of sighning with a major label shouldn't effect you or the other fans at all. What the Misfits actually do when they are on that label might make a difference but just sighning with Geffen should not make any difference what so ever. Your are making the assumption that once they are on Geffen that they will do things differently. If that were the case than you might have grounds to say they are selling out but it would be wrong to just decide thay they will sell out just by signing with Geffen. How are they sacrificing there integrity? And what makes you think they are going to leave the "punk" scene, if there really is a punk scene. Another thing. How can you automatically think that they will have mainstream sucess? Maybee I'm being naive to think that the Misfits just will not be the next craze to hit MTV. I just can't see this happening. I don't think a band has too automatically start playing arenas when they sign with a big label. You play what you can fill and I think the 'Fits basically will always be a little bar band. They might start playing venues that are a little bigger but they will never be a arena band. This isn't a knock on them it's just what they are. In St. Louis where I live there are three major places that bands can play at. There is Mississippi Nights, the American, and the Riverport Amphetheter (In the winter really big bands play one of the stadiums but whatever). Mississippi Nights is a little bar and is a nice place to see a show because it is small and you get to be right there. The American holds a lot more people but it is still small enough that you get a feeling that you are there with the band. Now Riverport is a big place that tons of people can see a show at. This place sucks. You have seats and you can't really see very good. Now to my point. At the very best I see the Misfits playing the American theater. (Last time they came here they played Mississippi Nights). This by no means a bad place to see a show and does not take away freom the atmosphere of the show. Bottom Line, Th3 Misfits, even on a major label, will never get so big that they will stop playing little clubs and bars. This sems to be the biggest concer of people out there. It just won't happen. If the Misfits change (notice I didn't say sell out) it is there own fault. Not the record labels fault. ------------------------------ From: "Scott Palermo" Subject: penn fuckin' state Date: Wed, 9 Oct 1996 03:18:44 -0000 Anybody going to the Penn State show?

I assume this is a typical NJ "PAY to PLAY" gig in which the club sells tickets to the band, which then has to sell them to people to come to the show. While we would save Ticketmaster surcharges by going through you, you should be fair and admit that your selling them because your band HAS TO to get paid anything, not because you want to do us any great service. If I am off base, please accept my apologies, but I've been through this route myself many times over the years, and it sucks.

Thanks for showing your support Scott. You've heard of the hardest working man in show business, well Chud's the hardest working man in horror business (I know, CHEEZY). But really, Chud's a great guy and it seems like no one really cares about him. I mean, everyone compares Michale and Glenn, Jerry and Doyle get plenty of attention, 'cause their the long-timers, and Bobby's always around to talk to. Sure their all great guys, but what about Chud. I don't think any one else works as hard to make the fans feel like they belong more than Chud (and it takes alot to top the guys in this band). Personally, I think we should have a Chud appreciation issue, I know any one who's met Chud would agree with me. What else can I say, Chud is the shit (that's a good thing), He's the man! So everyone who's met Chud, tell all the unlucky people who haven't all about him! And speaking of Chud anybody who would like a copy of the tape his old band, Sacred Trash put out, I would be happy make one to trade with copies of recordings people have or for $2 to cover postage and the tape. E-mail me at: darryl.etheridge@sheridanc.on.ca Long live Chud!

First, I understand that you asked to keep posts short, but in the same issue there is a 6 page...short novel, really. It's not just the fact that it was so long that upsets me, but it had nothing to do with the Misfits. Why was it in here? Sure, "llama" had some great points, but he/she wrote about Pearl Jam primarily, and other completely non-related bands. There was absolutely no mention of the Misfits or even the most remotely related bands like, say, Metallica. This is the MISFITS BIBLE not a speakers corner for idealogical propaganda. << Oh, I bothered you? GOOD. I hardly talked about Pearl Jam, and I was using them as an EXAMPLE. Examples are useful things to help prove your point, dear. Was my post short? No. Tough shit. If you don't want to read a long message, skip it! I said what I wanted, and I recieved no negative replys, except yours. I received about 10 positive, and/or constructive messages. I replied to all of them. Hmm, in your very rebuttal, which claims my message has NOTHING to do with the 'fits.... you said not a damn thing about the 'fits either. Metallica has little to do with the Misfits, as well. This is a speaker's corner, people post here to DISCUSS things, related to the Misfits. If you aren't interested in hearing other people's words. Then get off of the list. Although, the propaganda bit is hilarious. Silly cow, I actually made arguments against myself to make my own argument more solid, and keep it from being propoganda. Who made it bad for me to have my say, and then ok for you to "clear the air". The air is fucking clear enough without you. If you want to post something bitching me or anyone else out that is fine with me. In fact, please do. But at least make a constructive argument against me. Your post is hippocritical in that "nobody talks Misfits" bit, because you didn't even say a damn thing about them either. If you have a problem with someone on this list, then EMAIL them, if you want to avoid cluttering the list. >> My other concern is with multiple posts. Can't people say what they need to say in one post? Instead of sending a seperate response to every post from last ish. read the damn thing through, collect your thoughts and address them all at once. Well, that's all my bitching. << I agree completely. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ RE: >From: ww982@WCUVAX1.WCU.EDU >> The truth is, if it wasn't for the whining and bickering and (god forbid) HUMOR on the bible, there wouldn't be a reason to have it. We could just click on the News section in Mark's pit and spend the rest of the afternoon on the Beavis & Butthead page. << See above reply... point proven. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Does anyone know when the Misfits will be playing in DC? I really want to go to a show. Also, are there any GIF's availble of the T-Shirts being offered through Jerry Only, or the fiend club or wherever the hell they are offered? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Oct 1996 16:48:37 -0400 From: David Kramer Subject: Uh.... Newfits? Hallo Fiends! Blah blah blah this is my first time inscribing into the bible and I'm really nervous and incontinent. However, I felt I had to respond to Dave Naked's dissection of the Misfits v. "Newfits" (his term). Down there near the bottom of the post was the statement that "Most -- OK, All" of "us" began listening to the Misfits after Garage Days Re-re-re-revisited or the first Danzig opus. Now Mr. Naked said he was writing his entry when he was home sick from school -- high school, most likely. I'm not about to turn this into a "I was jamming with the Misfits while you were contemplating what brand of stain to christen yer pampers with" type of posting. I'm not all THAT old -- 28 -- and was turned onto the Misfits early in high school (about 83-84). Those were the days in pre-history when the only thing that went on in the front row of a Metallica show was flopping hair and flying fists. I was a devoted thrasher (Slayer, Venom, Exodus) and wanna-be punker (Flag, Jerks, DKs, Broken Bones, Agnostic, MDC DRI COC, and all of the great initial bands of the day...) A guy I worked with gave me a tape, which I only wish I still had, containing most of the tracks from Legacy and Walk Among Us -- with more than a few outtakes and alternative tracks (which I why I wish I had it still.) I was and am I die-hard Misfits fan -- I liked Samhain a little less --- Danzig and Lucifuge were both good -- and then it sort of petered out for me. I suppose all of this stuff means little to most readers, but rest assured, I Do have a point. Dave --I don't think you should feel that the original Misfits "weren't YOUR band." -- They were, and they always will be a part of what you are -- especially if you're a "Newfits" fan. For me, it was more than an epiphany --- the Misfits combined my two greatest loves -- death rock and cheesy horror flicks -- and turned out simple, fun, thought-provoking and culture inspiring music -- I'd imagine that they still do. So, the question remains --- just whose band were they, if not yours? Were they the band for kids from Lodi, N.J., who were 16 in 1980? Were they the band for anyone who collects all their 7 inches and the exorbitant prices they bring? Were they the band for we punkers who are quickly approaching old age (30?) Or are they still OUR band -- even after all this time? Satan Loves you and So Do I... D -- Kramer :<> Dk ------------------------------ Subject: misery tomb From: murdergram@juno.com (Jay C Jack) Date: Wed, 09 Oct 1996 15:30:00 EDT oh my my my how could anyone (dave naked) say that the new misfits are the better band. although i haven't heard the new incarnation yet (but soon will), i'm sure that it just doesn't have the energy. i've seen graves and he looks like a fine replacement to glenn and popular feelings seem mixed about him. but the thing best thing about the misfits was they didn't give a fuck about anything and it showed in their music. if they sound tight now, that's probably just because they had like what, a decade to practice? signing to geffen is fine by me. the independent thing is a great way to get things done but it's stupid not to sign to a major label if they give you creative freedom. that's not selling out, that's just intelligent. selling out would be what a band like greenday did. they were indie, on lookout, had a good following, and a somewhat good ethic. they go major, imbrace the media/mtv, get a stupid following, and turn into complete morons ( though i don't know how bright they were before). I hate using greenday as an example because even when they were indie they sucked, but it works nonetheless. yeah the misfits will be on geffen but so what, i doubt that they will do something stupid. besides, listen to the music, it's not exactly that catchy garbage that mtv would play. one more thing and i'll shut up, this probably isn't coherent anyway. i think that dave naked was way out of line saying "most of us here probably got into the misfits because of garage days or mother". I have never thought mother was anything special and when mother 93 hit mtv i cringed (not because it was on there but because it sucked, and all the jockboys went around blasting it from their "systems"). As for garage days, before i heard it i owned earth ad and walk among us. don't go and make that kind of generalization. i have liked the misfits since '89 when i heard a copy of mommy... dubbed on a certron tape, riding around in a nissan. that was my band, not the new guys. they've been with me for 7 great years and "they" always will.

Cybernaut--from someone who has your tape, I rate it a 9. I do tend to be lenient, though, as I've heard some of the worse ones.

Chris ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Oct 1996 18:12:35 -0400 (EDT) From: Dennis Pierce Subject: Noise at the beginning of "Death comes..." I think the noise at the beginning of "Death Comes Ripping" is so cool. I used to think it was a guitar, but I think I figured it out. It's a pick slide (or fingernail slide) done on a distorted bass guitar. It starts off slowly, catching the windings of the strings. This is the "ripping" sound. Then, it speeds up and ends on a sustained 'A' power chord. You can then hear the guitar enter over the bass' chord with an 'A' power chord with an octave in it. That's the higher sound over the rumbling bass chord. After that, the drums enter. That seems to be the way they recorded it. Experiment with slides; you should be able to recreate it. Oh yeah, while we're discussing EAD sounds. Does anyone know what Doyle used for his tone on EAD? It doesn't sound like WAU's tone. It sounds like he's using something to make his tone warbly, maybe a chorus or tremelo? Or maybe he is just putting a lot of vibrato in his attack? Any ideas would be cool.

This isn't because I need it, but because I have noticed so many of you asking if something is wrong on there, and seeing as how I never bothered to look at it, I don't know for sure what is correct on it and what is wrong. Seeing as I've been playing these songs since just a few years after The Misfits originally broke up, I am very sure of my ability to correctly play them. Also, if you are trying to learn then by ear off the albums, be sure to tune your guitar A=448 and not A=440. It's just a difference in tape speeds from recording them in one studio, and mixing and/or mastering in another.

Not true. I remember awaiting the release of Earth A.D. But, I do understand your point, as I never saw the original band. (did see samhain though). So, there are some long-timers on the list. Also, people keep saying they'll put in their "2 cents worth" about the Geffen deal. After the fourth or fifth time "2 cents worth" was posted I decided I'd let everyone know that my band's name is 2=A2 worth, so keep on putting the name out there!

We're just gonna have to deal with Jerry and co. giving it another stab. I'm 17. I love the old Misfits, I wouldn't have heard of them if my cousin hadn't turned me onto them after he got into Danzig. But, they were before my time. This is now. As far as I saw them live, they were great. But still, that was them playing the old songs we know and love and a few originals, but its hard to compare them to the old ones based on hearing them one time live without hearing what the lyrical content sounds like so, I'm going to wait until I hear the new album in April or whatever to make my final assessment on them. So, as of now, I'm sort of middle of the road. Just wait to hear the new album to make up your mind. -Mike (insert punk song quote) ------------------------------ From: Mark Allen Blackman Subject: Shows at the Troc. (Philly) Date: Wed, 9 Oct 1996 23:27:40 -0400 >Was anyone there when the misfits played earlier this year at the >Troc? After the show there was a big police presence on the street. >I've been there a lot and this isn't the norm. I myself got harassed, >and I heard a story about a kid getting beat up or something. Yes, I was there and that is the norm. I've seen tons of shows there and they always have the cops outside after the show to prevent everyone from just hanging out. I didn't know about anyone getting beat up but it would not surprise me. Sorry about getting harassed, keep in mind that even though the cops have guns and possess the power to arresst you doesn't mean that they aren't intimidated by the large groups of punks that collect outside the enterence after the show. They just want you to go away so they don't have to deal with any problems. I don't think they are purposely there to fuck with you. On a side note, if anyone was was considering going to the Halloween show in Philly, I strongly recommend it. I saw the Misfits five times in five different states during the Spring tour and twice during the Summer tour and of all the shows the show at the Troc. in Philly was by far the best. That is probably why the Misfits decided to have the Halloween show there. Normally they no dot allow stage diving there, but they did at the Misfits show. There were bouncers present, but all they did was break up the NUMBEROUS fights. Later, Mark B.

The Misfits may just end up being the last band ever to play on this stage. Anyone who lives here could tell you what a great place this is to see a band play and how much it sucks that it is closing down. However, I couldn't think of a better band to play the final show, and on Halloween!!! I hope the place is destroyed in the course of the Misfits set so that the Troc can go out with a big ass bang.

( this is long, sorry) The Misfits were a " PUNK ROCK " band from Lodi, New Jersey. Punk Rock! Those two words held a great meaning once. Fine! So the Misfits sign with Geffen, but think about what will happen if they go on MTV. All of a sudden you will start to see those high-cut trendy shirts with The Chrimson Ghost or a Misfits label printed on them. Next, Skater( cock-rockers, the destroyers of punk, stupid ass faggot fuck ups who don't know shit about it's true meaning but spike their hair and say their hardcore) with Misfits shirts and ( I hate this so much) Misfit skateboard decks? Little kids with devil locks not knowing the true meaning or feeling put into years of hard work and musical talent, but saying their cool because of their new ( now trendy) hairstyle. Remember that Marylin Manson song, " Sweet Dreams" ? Well its been made into a techno/rave song, MTV has made trendy motherfuckers listen to it and going around saying its the coolest thing. Whats next a " MOMMY... " techno song. AGAIN meaning lost. D.I.Y. whatever happened to that,? Its pretty much a lost art. The music that inspired and moved a cult following will be lost forever. People grow older and change. Now think about this.... Who were the Misfits really? Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only ( and Manny ) Just a couple of " Punk Rock" guys from Lodi, New Jersey. Well i think the new Misfits ( NOT EVEN THE REAL MISFITS)are bullshit the only real one is Jerry, ( Doyle kinda ) I've heard some of their new stuff and thought it was pretty weak. Lets face it, although most of you hate him, Glenn wrote the songs. It was his words. See what you love destroyed or fight to keep whats left. Do what ever you can. Twat rock = skate rock. SKaters and people who watch rancid, green day and mtv are not PUNK ROCK> Try writing to Rocky Caiafa to get your concerns throught to the misfits. Real sorry this was so long but someones got to say it!!!! P.S. IDEA why not make Misfits Videos ( o.k. idea ) but make them available to fiend club members only and no one else that include moron television, and whats with the fiend club, i'm a member and there not sending me shit!!

Mr. Lerret mentioned it last bible, so I'm just here to tell you guys that it's well worth looking into, and Mark Lerret is definitely a good guy who will not screw you over. On to other things, went down to Rebel Radio yesterday, checked out the 5Blackacidevil promo......the song "Blackacidevil" is just.....bad.

Subject: Horror questions for horror kids... Hello fiends in bibleland... Here comes your next set of questions and i hope they haven't been to easy for you guys!!! 1) What was Gamera and what happened to him at the end of the movie? 2) Who was Im-Ho-Tep, and who played him first?(2 extra points if you name the movie and what year it was out, double the exta point if you give the name they changed his name to in the other movies) 3) What three actors played the role of Phantom of the Opera, and what years did the movies come out? 4)Which Misfits song was taken from a movie and the cover art was taken from a magazine, also you have to give the name of the two main actresses(both very famous) and the magazine the art came from? 5) Name three horror movies that Kenneth Tobey acted in and what the role was (2 extra points if you can tell me the connection between the three)? oh i did notice this a while ago and i see that person is defending Jerry and Doyle, but John I haven't seen a Danzig show where Glenn, Eerie, Chuck (when he was there) and John (when he had the time) didn't spend ours hanging out with all their fans after or before the show. I have never met any of them at a signing, well actually i have never had the chance to go to a signing, they are always at bad times for me. You are right for once, about Jerry and the guys they do the same. I have to say the bible was a little bit better on 241. you know we do seem to do better when we are talking about things that are Misfits, Samhain, Danzig, horror, etc related. i do remember something to the effect that, that is why we are all here. Unless it is some kind of conspiracy by aliens. Oh if anyone catches that crazy movie called Them(not the one from 1954) 1996, its as if they tooks a bunch of parts of the X-Files and some other scifi movies and made a movie out of it. Take a look but don't say i didn't warn you. well i hope everyone has a great weekend and remember you have to have your answers for all this weeks questions in by Sunday by 10PM. Answers will be posted on Monday and your next set of questions to boot. Oh one thing, someone asked about the bible t-shirt, well i saw the final or close to it drawing last night and it is great, everyone is going to be blown away. Greg out did himself i must say. So i hope things will start moving to begin production. Plus i'm sure Mark will let you know. Later to all the finedies everywhere!?!

Featuring 14 different Misfits tunes performed by 14 different bands (each band selected their own song), this album will be available on LP, CD, and Cassette. As usual, there will be a limited color vinyl pressing on 3 different colors. The actual colors and numbers will not be announced until a few months AFTER the album is released. Caroline will begin promotion in mid-November with postcards and posters with national advertisements in magazines in January. The people at Caroline, especially Tom Bejgrowicz (executive producer), are really excited about this. I've EARTH A.D. ---------- Yes, it's being reissued on October 29, 1996... but there's a twist. First, all Plan 9 logos have been replaced with Caroline logos. Second, this CD is on a standard silver CD (as opposed to the original press of 15000 gold CDs in April 1992). The album cover graphic will also be on the actual CD itself, with some purple coloring. Third, an extremely limited pressing (886 copies) will be distributed with the original Plan logos... these 886 copies were pressed in 1994 and are identical to the 1992 press except for the fact that they are standard silver CDs... start looking now. > From: "Whittle, Patrick R." > Subject: geffen move stupid > why? they have nothing to gain but money, and after they spent so much > time they were just doing it so they could be the Misfits again. > and it's not like they'll get any new fans. think about it...did the > Circle Jerks get any new fns when they signed to Mercury? and they are > a lot cloer to being mainstream acceptable than the misfits ever will be > ya know. it's just not gonna work. i don't understand it. Ever hear of distribution? Think about it. Look at it this way - The members of the Misfits have families to support and lives outside of the band. At this time, they are doing everything themselves - booking shows, distributing records, maintaining the Fiend Club, and writing/recording music, among other things. Having a major distributor will take the load off them and also get their stuff out to all the fans, whether they're in New Jersey, South America, or Sweden. I get e-mail messages and letters all the time from fiends all over the world asking if Misfits stuff has come out yet. It takes a LONG time for stuff to get overseas. Some of you are lucky enough to be right on the east coast of the US and have seen the band 5-7 times. Some people will NEVER get to see them and might have to wait months to find a copy of the new album. It sucks for them. Let's just ask the fiends in Europe and Japan how THEY feel... There were several reasons that the band (don't blame Michale just because he's the only one with e-mail access - this was a BAND decision) decided to go with Geffen. There's no reason it can't work out. I still have all the Misfits postcards from last time... I'll also send extras to anyone who can supply me with info on the latest Four Horsemen album, or whichever album from '94 had Chuck Biscuits on it. mark ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Oct 1996 23:08:47 -0400 From: dirt Subject: Collector's Here are the videos I have, including the year and approximate length. If you need more detailed information the discography section on Mark's www page has a detailed list of each of these shows. I don't have any original Misfit's media (12", 7", etc...) that I am willing to part with, so please limit inquiries to copies of video--thanx. * Coney Island, NY (1995, 29 minutes) * Stone Pony, NJ (1996, 75 minutes) * Danbury, CT (1996, 75 minutes) * Bethleham, PA (1982, 36 minutes) * Creepy Compilation (1983, aprox 2 hours)--includes the "Why Be Something You're Not," "Goleta," "Braineaters Promo," and "Channel's Club," shows. My version also has the "Eagle's Lodge" show on it. * Skulls promo (about 3 minutes) * Halloween promo (about 3 minutes) * Braineaters promo (about 3 minutes) * Eagle's Lodge (1982, 13 minutes) (A little better than the Creepy Comp ver) * Bookies (1981, 27 minutes) I can currently fit about 120 minutes of video on each tape. I only copy at SP and use high quality tape because the majority of Misfits videos are poor quality (that is the old ones, the new ones are pretty good). It's $15 per tape. Look at the times, and send me a list of what you want [try to use up the entire 120, 240, or 360 minutes--I'll put parts of shows on as filler if you want, so you get a full tape of video (just dont specify specific songs--I don't have that much free time)] and your address with the money. I will accept cash or money orders, (usually 2-4 weeks turn over). Any additional questions: E-mail me. If you have a video that is not part of my list, I will definately buy from or trade with you. I also am interested in any Samhain, Negative Approach, Gwar, Black Flag, and Necros videos. I am also open to any other interesting trades.

Well as always, I am still making copies of the Creepy Compilation and the *Bible-only* "Evil is as Evil Does" compilation. These videos are two hours long apiece and are easily some of the best quality stuff out there. I've been providing this service to Misfits Bible members for about a year and a half now, so rest assured that I know what I'm doing... Each video costs a mere $10 ppd each (US only - foreign fiends write for rates) and you can get your own copy(s) by sending your address and payment to: Brent Eyestone 478 East Beaver Ave Apt 211 State College, PA 16801 Questions, etc ---> (814)861-8240 Now on to something else... I've been getting a lot of email about this, so let me make it clear - the Misfits are not playing at Penn State, they are playing in downtown State College at the Crowbar (NOT ON CAMPUS). For those of you travelling to the show, I must warn you that if you are under 21, the space provided for you is incredibly small. It's about the size of a small dorm room and so naturally, you can expect to get hurt (especially since Dave Wells just loves to oversell as much as possible). If you are over 21, you are allowed in the upper portion of the bar and you should be able to see things fine. Simply put, if you are under 21 and headed to State College on October 29, you run the risk of getting hurt (the bouncers love to beat ass at the drop of a hat) and also the risk of not getting to see the band because of the limited space. Don't get me wrong, you will get into the club, but given that the club is on three tiers (upper level is 21+, middle/stage level is all ages BUT TINY, bottom level is all ages BUT YOU CAN'T SEE THE STAGE), chances are you're going to be stuck on the bottom level because it's the largest area. I'm not saying don't go to the show, I'm just saying don't be surprised if you feel ripped of by the Crowbar upon completion of the Misfits' set. Just as a side note, two years ago, this club was called "Tattoo," it was hot pink on the outside, and booked solely glam rock. Now we have the same management, just different agenda$. I just feel it's fair you should know ahead of time...

Pretty soon he'll be convinvcing JErry and Doyle to drop to their knees and suck the CEO of geffens dick, that is what being a punk band and signing with a record label with a CORPORATE history means. That is about the only ounce of respect that i have for glenn lies in that right there, he never strayed, either that or he wouldn't suck some CEO's dick to get there. as for the dude who said he was 28 and listening to the misfits when he was oh so young, get a life, and get off the listserv, i've no use to hear your fucking age, you are not old, you just think your old and with that comes thinking your wiser, wisdom doesnt come with age dude.

It's an honors kid who doesn't have any friends but his mom, and so he studies all the time 'cause the girls think he's all fucked-up, and then he goes out and MURDERLATES.

Unlike the first propmtional cd I got, this one has every song (10 of them) on it. The only thing it is missing is the cover sleeve. If you remember when I reviewed the first promotional cd I said it wasn't at all like any of his previous work and that I needed some time to get used to it. Well, I'm used to it and love the new songs much more than the three on the first promo cd. Yes, they are all still INDUSTRIAL. Another way of putting it is if Danzig and Filter had a baby it would sound like this record. I am not going to review every song, but here are the song titles: 7th House Blackacidevil See All You Were Sacrifice (My Favorite) Hint of Her Blood Serpentia Come to Silver Hnad of Doom :Version Power of Darkness Ashes Info on the record can be found at http://hollywoodrec.com/danzig Later, Mark Blackman I am still willing to pay top buck for any DESCENDENTS, AGENT ORANGE, SOCIAL DISTORTION vinyl. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Oct 1996 12:50:47 -0700 (MST) From: Andy Yuhnke Subject: no subject in particular... ok lesse, comments on the last bible... Joe Theuwhatever: I think your view on Glenn is a little harsh although I agree with most of it. Yes I am one of those kids (21) who got into the 'fits because of metallica, I was 12 years old and freaking my parents out listen to those 'horrible' songs, saw Danzig in '89 loved them, I used to idolize Glenn but to me John Christ on guitar, Erie on Bass, and Chuck on drums were just as much Danzig as old Glenn boy... and after reading some shit in different Misfits FAQs I am now of the opinion that yes, Glenn Danzig IS a major asshole - but I have the sensibility to realize that without him there would not be a Misfits, but more importantly THIS IS A MISFITS SIG - GLENN IS NO LONGER INVOLVED THEREFORE DISCUSSION OF HIM IS NOT RELEVANT, thank you Rick McClinton & Brian Cox: You two both made very good points, however; next time be a little more concise and to the point, I'm wearing out my space bar skipping through your 6 page posts... ;) LegioN: Wow, it's refreshing to hear someone admit to such a lack of originality, so basically you sound like a hodge podge of everybody else?

After a long time, two of the members of the band at that point received permission to continue on under the name Glenn abandoned. Would it help you if you thought of the 'newfits' as a Misfits cover band with permission to use the actual name?

Misfit Videos were (practically) available only to people who read classified ads in Maximumrocknroll! I do believe 1. Glenn was right to end his involvement with the name "the Misfits". His evolving style was going too far from what he had done under the name 'Misfits'. If I'm feeling real picky I might argue he should have dropped "Misfits" before Earth AD and Wolfsblood. 2. I agree that the Misfits were Glenn's brainchild and he not only wrote very interesting lyrics but was able to sing them with power and conviction that are rarely matched. 3. You already know you don't like what you've heard of the latest Misfits. I'm not so lucky, I haven't heard any yet, so I don't know. But I doubt that I'll start screaming about skateboarders and MTV and corny stuff like that even if I think the new stuff sucks camel dong.

NO distorted vocals. the music sounds like NIN's closer a bit, but glenn's voice is the beat i ever heard it on this one. overall: i like it. it isn't your standard glenn power album where the voice carries you through. in fact in a couple songs (blackacidevil) you can't hear the man's voice at all. some songs are industrial just to be industrial (serpentia), but what can you do. there are some real jewels on hear, IF you like (and it's a big if) industrial music. it's a lot more techno sounding than deep...and i thought that was off the beaten path. all of the semi danzig fans would be wise to borrow a copy of it before you shell out $$$$ also, no white devil risin which dissapointed me. ------------------------------ From: Mark Allen Blackman Subject: New Misfits Songs on Cassette Date: Fri, 11 Oct 1996 17:20:21 -0400 I just got a cassette I ordered from someone from the Bible. It is a complitation of the four new Misfits songs they played during their Spring/Summer tour. They are from live shows but the quality is much much better than I was expecting. Supposedly, the songs were recorded from teh sound board and then doctored up as much as possible. Its nice have a collection of the songs to hold me over until the new album. Here are the new songs. Blacklight (6 different recordings) The Hunger (5 different recordings) The Haunting (5 different recordings) Dr. Phibes Rides Again (1 recording) For more information contact lerret@vaxl1.danavictor.com Later, Mark B. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Oct 1996 17:47:31 -0400 From: Mike Lunsford Subject: Please Help me... I've only been reciving the bible for about a week now, and this is my first post, so bare with me... I've got a question, WHERE CAN I GET MISFITS STUFF WHERE I LIVE?! I live in Lexington Kentucky, which really sucks cause there are no good stores anywhere!(at least that I have found) I've been lucky to get what I have(Walk Among Us, Legacy, Collections I & II and Beware) I did find a store that had the Pushead "Evil-Eye" shirt and I bought it.(Don't think that this store is even half-way decent cause I asked if they had any 'Fits stuff a few monthes before, and they said that all their stuff's out of print, so it's next to impossible to find. Lameasses) Any stores that do carry 'Fits stuff only has Collections I&II and occasionally "Legacy." I want EAD and EVILIVE, but nobody has 'em. If any fiends out there live in or around Kentucky and know of a good store, please e-mail me at mikeboo@lex.infi.net ANY help will be well apprciated!!! Thanks! Oh, yeah. To the kid that said "We all got into the Misfits after 'Mother'" needs to screw himself! I heard Mother, and thought it was pretty stupid. Nothin' against Glenn, but I just didn't like it. Honestly, I got into the 'Fits cause one of my friends taped me some of their stuff. That was 3 years ago. I still don't like DANZIG all that much, but love the MISFITS. As for Geffen, WHO CARES?! The band wants some well deserved cash and BETTER DISTRIBUTION(which I am all for). And, let's face it, Geffen has released some cool stuff such as Sonic Youth (which has been one of the most over-looked bands in music history) and White Zombie's okay. SO GIVE THE MISFITS A BREAK!!!!!! None of you can honestly tell me that you would give up a chance at a better life just so you could keep your little "punk rock" cleche. And besides, Jerry's got a family to support! Well, that's about all for now. Please keep me inform me if you know of a cool shop that carries 'Fits stuff!!!!!! Fiendishly yours, Mike ------------------------------ From: The.Crimson.Ghost@spideys.com Date: 11 Oct 1996 14:04:30 EDT Subject: Jaymz Hetfield on Danzig I Does anyone else think that maybe Glenn didn't credit Jaymz on the vocals of Twist of Cain and Possession because Jaymz was under-contract to Elektra? Just a thought.... Later, chris ------------------------------ From: John Ward Subject: Geffen etc. Date: Fri, 11 Oct 1996 16:42:34 -0700 I wasn't planning to comment on the 'fits getting signed to Geffen, but after reading some of the pigheaded responses from people claiming to be "Real" punks I figured I'd write. What's going to happen if they're on Geffen? They'll probably be more Misfits albums for you to buy, the sound quality will be better, more tours in more places, and the band actually gets some decent money. I see nothing wrong with any of this. What, no more waiting forever for an album to come out because of distribution problems? No more having to drive three hours to see a band because they can't afford to tour smaller scenes? I wouldn't miss that. Come on, any real Misfits fan would want what's best for the band, this is what's best for the band. I mean, Jerry's married and has two kids; I know if I were in that situation and could chose between a solid contract with definite money, and something that had the possibility of not delivering I'd choose the former. And lastly, get real, do you really think you're going to turn on MTV and hear Kurt Loder saying, "Well the new Misfits album has bumped Pearl Jam from the number one spot this week." Of course not, the Misfits are the Misfits, regardless of the lead singer or label. --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Subject: misery tomb revisited From: murdergram@juno.com (Jay C Jack) Date: Fri, 11 Oct 1996 18:40:04 EDT i might have also failed to mention in that last mailing that i didn't hear danzig until after the misfits that seems to be the right order maybe that's why glenn gets so disturbed talking about the misfits he moved on to something else and didn't get credit for his early group until after his current band did well.

"deep" is not on there, but "hand of doom" is. i like the lords of acid, and white zombie and all that, and i am glad that danzig is not stagnating, but i don't know how to take it. i have been listening to the man's recorded work for more than ten years, and this is the weirdest feeling so far after hearing a new record. -- Joe Franke "it's still cool..." jfranke@slip.net ------------------------------ Subject: Re:Geffen From: Matt R Walker Date: Sat, 12 Oct 1996 00:01:28 EDT Well, First off I want to say this: I am a kinda new to the Misfits. Anyway, I think that it is a good idea for the Misfits to sign with Geffen. Why? Because first off they will have complete control. How do I know? Well, Sonic Youth have complete control over their work, and well, their stuff is out there too. Second, It would contribute their work more readily, and advirtise it more. There is a bad side though...Geffen probably won't distribute any special vinyl additions to us Misfits fans. That could put an end to a tradition that everyone[fiends]know and love. Okay, that's my two cents... SeeYa'-M.WALKER AKA StarBelliedBoy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Oct 1996 00:54:44 -0400 (EDT) From: BANE Subject: A TASTE OF BLACKACIDEVIL I got a copy of the promo the other day; here's a review: 7th HOUSE: wicked song, but better live (when there is no distortion over Glenn's voice). As EVB said, you can detect his style in there, but its got layers of noise over it. This is one of Danzig's faster songs, about the speed of "Brand New God." When I listen to it, I hear Samhain combined with "Brand New God" and sort of Ministry/White Zombie distortions over the vocals. To me, it sounds somewhat like the band we all call "Danzig," albeit a VERY different Danzig, but I'm positive that MANY people are not going to like it. BTW, if Glenn doesn't include lyrics with this album, you can forget ever hoping to understand this song. On a scale of 1-10, this gets an 8 or 9 (it would ***EASILY*** get 10 if Glenn's voice was un-distorted...hopefully he'll release a live version someday) HAND OF DOOM: much shorter than the Black Sabbath version, and this has completely new lyrics. It sounds okay, again with lots of distortion and other industrial-type stuff, although Glenn's voice is MUCH more recognizable than on 7th House. It's been in my head a little since hearing it, but like I said, it's just "okay"; if it happens to come on, I listen to it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to skip to this track on a cd-player. On the scale, this is a 6 (by all standards, average, though this is the absolute LOWEST that any Danzig material has ever got from me; virtually all songs are 9 or 10, and most that fall lower are due to little things I don't like about them) HINT OF HER BLOOD: this comes closest to the traditional Danzig sound. There is some distortion on his voice, but MUCH MUCH less than on the other songs. It's got a slow, hypnotic beat, with a drum sound sort of like "Sadistikal" or "Deep", and if the guitar riff isn't Black Sabbath, then I don't know where it came from. My complaint with this song is that Glenn doesn't really break out with his voice like he usually does (you know, when there is slow music and then it kicks in hard, like in "HTGK", or virtually every other Danzig song). Cool song though: 7 out of 10 (if it had picked up the pace at some point, it would be an 8, but it didn't, so it isn't). I have said before that in all of Glenn's albums (in the Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig) there is a definite progression evident. Danzig 5 (or, at least the 3 songs on this sampler) are a progression from the style on Danzig 4p, but Glenn has apparently made a much greater "leap" in evolving his sound than he usually does. So far, I like it, but I seriously doubt that it will be my favourite Danzig album. (I beginning to wonder if anything will ever top Lucifuge...4p came closest, but still miles away) With "Deep," and after seeing them do "Sacrifice" and "7th House" live a couple weeks ago, I must admit that I didn't think that the new sound would be THIS different, but it is. Don't get me wrong, I DO like it a lot; I have to listen to "7th House" every 1/2 hour or so to sate myself, and when I'm busy doing other things, the tune is stuck in my head (which is why I want to know the lyrics to it!). I am still very anxiously awaiting the album, but when it does comes out, I won't be surprised to see a lot of people posting that they don't like it. overall rating: 7.2/10 -BANE ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Oct 1996 10:26:58 -0600 From: KIRT KNUTSEN Subject: Danzig in Metal Edge I just got my copy of metal edge magazine and guess who is on page 34? Glenn Danzig! Here's what it says: DANZIG:SPEAK OF THE BLACKACIDEVIL Glenn Danzig has a Halloween present for fans who've been awaiting new music since 1994's 4:a new disc called Blackacidevil, of which he's been giving fans a preview on the OZZFEST tour with Ozzy Osbourne. Glenn produced, wrote all the songs for, and played most of the quitar and bass parts on the album; Joey Castillo, the ex-Sugertooth drummer who joined the band on the last tour supplied the beats, former Danzig bass and drum tech Lazie, now in the band, played a couple of parts, and Alice in Chains axeman Jerry Cantrell contributed a few leads on the album, which mixes elements of heavy rock and techno-industrial, with distorted vocals on a few of the tracks. There are two ballads, the dark "Ashes" and Come to Silver", which Glenn wrote for but wasn't recorded by Johnny Cash, the X-files soundtrack cut "Deep", and an industrialized cover of Black Sabbath's "Hand of Doom." OZZFEST audiences get to hear at least four new cuts along with old favorites like "Her Black Wings," Twist of Cain,Mother, Dirty Black Summer. "We get 45-50 minutes, We usually do two hours. But it's good 'cause I can go out there and I don't have to hold back my energy,"says Glenn, though the five headlining shows scheduled in Cal. and Las Vegas aroung Halloween will be longer. Tommy Victor of Prong(who were set to do the OZZFEST until Epic dropped them) has joined Danzig on guitar, a last-minute replacement for Mark Chausee. "Mark's a great guy and I don't want to say anything bad about him, but it wasn't working, We had the show coming up and I had my doubts he'd be able to do it." says Glenn. "Tommy is a big Danzig fan and he wanted to try out even when Prong was going on the road but I didn't want to screw Prong up. But as soon as Tommy put the guitar on, he's a pro. He has a better ear, he picks stuff up immediately. Tommy knew a lot of the songs and he learned Deep and 7th House in one session. Vocally it's better with Tommy, too. As for Prong, "I can't speak for Tommy but I think he wants to do his own project now. I said he can do that if he stays in Danzig," says Glenn, noting that he may land a deal with Danzig's label, Hollywood records. Also on the horizon for Danzig: a couple of videos, international touring till January, when Danzig will launch a US headlining tour with, possibly, Lords of Acid(and a third band) opening up, and for fan club members, an EP with an album cut and Glenn interviewed by Rob Zombie. Glenn is also dabbling in movies, with soundtrack work and acting roles beckoning, and his Verotik line of adult comic books is going strong. For more about all of these projects and Blackacidevil, see next issue for an indepth interview with Glenn. There is also a picture of the new band. Can't wait for next issue!

I just received a reply back from them saying I was accepted. I haven't received anything in the mail yet but I'm looking foward to it. For the person who said he couldn't get any reply through the mail, try e-mailing instead. Hollywood records finally put Danzig on their web page. There isn't much on it yet, but I advise fans to check it out. http://hollywoodrec.com/HollywoodRecords/Musicians/Danzig/index.html There is a downloadable wav. of Sacrifice. For those of who that hadn't heard it yet, I think it slams. It is very industrial and very hard. They did a great job. As for the rest of the page there really isn't anything. Just a picture that looks like it might be the cover of Blackacidevil. Also, Mark, if you know anything about the Misfits Tribute Album could you put it in the Bible. I havn't heard shit about who is going to be on it or the songs.

But at this particular show there was a lot more than the normal amount around. They were all the way down the street and not letting people into the convenience store across the street (which I can understand, they don't want people to go in and steal, however they usually don't do this) From what you say you seem to think the police are always around to be helpful, but I don't think that was the case. I think those cops were getting off on harassing a bunch of "punks". BTW, they allow stage diving a lot at the Troc. You can also get on stage and hang out (that is if the band doesn't mind) To anyone who made a remark about the guy selling tickets to Birch hill- This is a good guy so buy tickets from him! Even if it does benefit him in some way, he is still doing you a favor. It saves a lot of money not to have to buy tickets from ticketmaster. Is anyone trying to go to all the Halloween shows?

Are you really so selfish that you want to keep the Misfits as your own little treasure? Have you the right to say "no, you can't wear that Misfits shirt, cuz you're only 15 years old and you're not a TRUE misfits fan because you don't know the lyrics to every song, and you don't have that RARE bootleg that I have, and blah blah, blah.."? The misfits aren't a religious cult that only adepts can follow, the misfits are a rock band (a real good one..) so they are, let's say, PUBLIC DOMAIN. Personally, i'd love to see the misfits on MTV so i won't bust my ass trying to find videos and related stuff in foreign countries. And in that way they'll get what they've been looking for about 20 years: MONEY. Because that's what music business (as any other business on the planet) is all about: MONEY Do you really think that there's a "punk philosophy" to follow? let me tell you that the only philosophy related to punk is making money. Punk IS about MAKING A LOT OF money out of a cheap investment. Malcolm McLaren knew that and he became one of the richest men of England, leaving crumbs to Johnny & co. Johnny himself realized that lately and what did he do? Well, the Pistols are firing again. The problem is that the punk movement took advantage of some topics that people was very concerned of, like rebellion, freedom, fighting the system, etcetc, so people (including some rock musicians) really believed that the "punk businessmen" were going to change society, while they were just trying a way like another to raise some bucks. Punk's not about being dirty, mohawk-equipped, and ignorant, is about being smart, intelligent and hawk-eyed, because like any other business, that's way you have to be to make money. That's the punkest you can get. Misfits signing to geffen is great: finally they've learned something from glenn. He might be an asshole, a short dickbag, a fuckhead or whatever the hell you want to call him, but is way more rich than all the bible subscribers added together. this is my longest post ever: sorry about that BTW JGellis100: i quoted your post because it was the latest post about the subject and NOT to flame you, hope this is clear. You have your own opinion and i stated mine without being offensive, so it'll be all right..i don't want to start another flame war one last thing: sorry for any mispelling errors or grammar shit on the above document, but i ain't no american so be patient bye franz Franz Ardito e-mail: vag1865@iperbole.bologna.it .From somewhere in Italy..

I thought punk rock was out there to point out the wrongs in society. I thought punk was being true to yourself. I was against the Misfits signing with Geffen when I first heard about it. But I thought about it for a while. Punk is also staying true to your form and yourself. So long as the Misfits stay true to themselves, that is all that counts.

NINOSKY" Date: Mon, 14 Oct 1996 14:14:32 PST Subject: misfits Thanks to the guy in the last MB for the tips about the Crowbar show at PSU around Halloween. I checked with my brother who attends PSU and he said the guy is right on the money. Crowbar itself has only a money-making policy towards booking shows which accounts for the massive amount of retarded bands that play there. Do not be expecting a freak related scene. The freakiest those in Happy Valley get is putting on some Doc Martens and rockin' out with the latest Dave Mathews or John "I am a child rapist" Hopper. The PSU society is highly frat oriented and may not approve of a fiend who dares to act his own way. While this really will have zero affect upon the show itself, hangin' out afterwards usually produces some good fights (at any show, not just the Misfits). If you are averse to such activity, be advised. If not, the frat boys aren't that tough in general, but pack mentality rules. Also, the guy in the last issue pointed out that the bouncers are a bit trigger happy with the beatdowns, and my brother says he is right about that. P.S to Wet Homo, I was thinking about having a barbecue/drinkfest where we'd eat a shitload of meat and consume many St. Ides 40's, then we could fill the back of your red truck with . . . ahem ... "moopy". ------------------------------ From: jold@netacc.net Date: Mon, 14 Oct 1996 17:29:46 +0000 Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #243 This is in response to Franz Ardito who state the only philosophy related to punk is making money. Actually there a lot bands out there bands out there who do care and are trying to make a difference through their words and music and are not using what punk/hardcore stands for (fighting the system, fighting oppression and racism, etc) to make a quick buck. These bands include Naked Agression, Dead Silence, Aus Rotten and the Pist. It is obvious you have never heard of them. Real punk/hardcore is not about making money, but is about challenging the greedy, capitalist status quo.

This is just my perception, but when "blackacidevil" is said aloud it sounds like "black as the devil". King Diamond did they same thing on his new album.

If you have an independent or "DIY" (since you like that term so fucking much) label to release on let's have it. I'm sure the new Fits would love to hear about how well you can distribute and promote their work. Hell I think the whole bible would love it. Tell you what, after you start a band that gains the following that the Misfits have built and maintained then you can tell us all about sweating away pressing albums in your basement. Or wait, would you like most musicians who want their music heard consider a Big Bad Corporate record company? I really wonder how fast your would swallow a pint of David Geffen's juice if he offered you a contract. So sit down be quiet or go start your own band. As if anyone cares I have been covering music and the industry for the last 5 years and have seen good bands go to shit and fall apart financially and then mentally because there was no money coming in and the had to stay independent, while at the same time others go and sign with majors and put out 4 or 5 albums and gain fans and make a living. Who sleeps better? Who cares? Let the band make up their own mind, if you have such a hard on for "corproate" rock then don't buy the fucking album. I humbly apologize to any members who have been inconvenienced by this long post. Later all. jamie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Oct 1996 00:36:04 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: Just time to knock of the shit... Hello fiends... First off before we go to the questions i have something that needs to be said. Lately a lot of people again have been ripping on Glenn Danzig. I do know for fact that someone we all know as a long time Bible Member just unsubscribed because of it. I think that this is where this shit has to end. Those of you who have said some nasty shit about the man say it just based on hearsay. One person posted last time that he didn't like Glenn from what he read in the FAQ's on Misfits Central. What the hell is the matter with you people, you don't judge someone based on what you hear. If i did that i would have never even gone to meet him or the band Danzig. There was so much hearsay about all the members of Danzig before i met them the first time i didn't know what to expect. But the end result was i got to hang out with them and had a blast. Plus i heard some wild shit about Glenn before i met him. Plus i did have one thing happen that i will never forget. One of the biggest things everyone knows is he hates bootlegs. i had a 7" that looked real as real, i never would have known it was a boot if it wasn't for him. What did he do when i handed it to him, nothing - he told me it was a boot and handed it back. Because of him i got my money back and was able to find an original with the info he gave me. The main point to this is your wasting time and space on the bible by ripping on him. You all know that none of us would be here if it was not for him. The Misfits would not have that type of lyrics or sound if written by anyone else. Also no one can stay stagnant, as a musician or an artists things in your life change the way you work and your ideas. So let's get past this crap and back to the way the bible should be. Cause the people pulling this shit are just wrecking it for everyone else. New Questions... 1) Where was the Creature from the Black Lagoon Trilogy filmed? 2) How many Godzilla movies were made to this day and name them all? 3) In one of the Godzilla movies they do not call him Godzilla but use another name what is the name and what movie was it? 4) Who is Cthulhu, what is he, and who wrote about him?(2 extra points if you can name a second source that wrote about him, hint one is fiction and the other is a form of fact) 5) What episode of the X-Files aired the Danzig song Deep, give exact name of the episode and what the episode was about? well that is it for now and you know the deal, e-mail your answers before sunday at 10pm to tes777@bridge.net i really hope you guys get your shit together and get off this ripping shit on Glenn and the New Misfits cause its a waste of time for us and Mark.

The limited "10 000 :)" box cost 590 skr and that is just under $100, any misfits cd (if you are able to find one) cost about 169skr $29 and if you want to get anything bible related on vinyl, forget it. When Danzig came to scandinavia for some years ago the ticket price was $50 and you had to drive 600 km to get there. But still, I love the misfits and I guess that he Misfits love me. By the way, will the misftist do anther europe tour in the future, and if so, when ?. I know they played in germany but hey, even love has a prize.

Date: Wed, 16 Oct 1996 03:34:37 -0700 Hell-o Mark 'n' fellow Bible readers, I just got a video tape of the Stone Pony and Coney Island shows today. The ressurection has been televised-and the Misfits do NOT suck. And Graves is a GOOD singer. I don't mean to hurt anybodys feelings(not much, anyway)but if you think the Misfits suck live, watch LLCoolJ Unplugged. Now THAT'S a horrible live act. If you still think the Misfits stink, you either caught them on a bad night, or you just don't see live acts too much...you might even be one of those poor, poor stupid people that I always see on TV.

SORRY. We were hoping to get another show for an all ages crowd, but it seems that the promoters in Erie have a problem getting kids to come out to see "old farts" no matter how much they might like the band. Anyway, we'll be hanging out in Erie on sturday - checking out record stores, raping, pillaging . . . all that cool punk rock shit. In regards to all the major-label bashing: cut it out. You don't know what you're talking about. TIMES SQUARE got screwed over by a DIY label run by a punk band that most of you probably admire for being so DIY. Because of them we're out about $400.00. You can sign to a major and do exactly what you want. Of course you might get dropped if you don't sell enough records, but the same can happen even if you do things their way. If you don't want a band to sign with a major; talk to them about it. Tell them that you will work your ass off to support them and their families until they die. I know of a few "idealistic, anarchist" punks from the old days. They condemned any band that put out a record for "selling out to the capitalist machine", but ya know what ? They saw nothing wrong with getting jobs on Wall Street, and at least one of them is making . . . get this . . . $30,000.00 a week. This guy was an ultra-communist, always saying "fuck the capitalist system" until he learned how to suck its tit. The SEX PISTOLS started to get "off the dole". To be independent of a welfare system. TO MAKE MONEY! Anyone that thinks punk is about not making money is falling sucker to a movement that has exploited punk for its own financial gains. "Money is evil, so free yourself and give it to me" is what they're feeding you. Do you think CAREER OPPORTUNITIES is about not making money ? How about RIGHT TO WORK. You probably never even heard of these songs. You're just playing into the mass-media version of punk rock, which was created to destroy what had originally been a positive revolution. MICHALE didn't have any influence over the GEFFEN signing. In fact; MICHAEL ALAGO, the head of A&R at GEFFEN has been coming to MISFITS shows since I was in the band. He was at the ACTION PARK show along with Daniel REY, who has produced some punk classics and has been playing punk rock loonger than any of the MISFITS. If these guys are behind the signing, we have a good chance that nothing will change aside from not having to go to 25 stores before finding a copy of the new LP/CD. MICHAEL ALAGO was at ELEKTRA in 1983 - 85. He was instrumental in getting METALLICA signed. He may have been responsible for other cool bands that have gotten deals. He was also responsible for putting THE MISFITS and THE UNDEAD on the same bill at the RITZ in 1981. Give it a chance. If you don't like what they become . . . don't support them anymore. >Date: Tue, 15 Oct 1996 19:13:59 -0500 >From: American Nightmare >Subject: Rattfink >I just got the dawn of the undead cd it's great! I have one question >the lyric sheet credits bobby with writing the song. Is that true? > -Bill That was a typographical error. The guy that did the layout at SHOCK RECORDS probably just 'assumed' that it was mine, or he just wasn't thinking straight while he was doing it. The lyrics are by ALAN SHERMAN, and the song is based on RAGG MOPP. There are a lot of typo errors in that book. There are songs where one word was left out, but it changed the entire meaning of the song. On the Cassette, it's called DAWN of THE DEAD, instead of UNDEAD. . . . Another great testimonial from another satisfied customer. ------------------------------ From: msk4m Date: Wed, 16 Oct 1996 Subject: Hampshire Halloween Hey Fiends - if you happen to be in the Amherst, MA area next weekend, be sure to stop by Hampshire College to see a Misfits tribute band perform.

Him and Doyle were trading leads and overall I'd say Bruce kicked ass. He then dove into the crowd and was seeing crowd surfing the rest of the night.

But I already received all the old records and I've been cleaning them up. Guess what I find? "Rat Fink" by Allan Sherman! Yep, it's the same "Ratt Fink" the Misfits covered. But it's is so different it's amazing. It's a total swing song. Full horn section and jazzy drums, walking bass, etc. The "yeah yeah yeahs" sound like a bunch of school kids or something. The actual title is "(Rag Mop) Rat Fink" and the authors are Wills & Anderson. It is the B-side to "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter From Camp)." It was released by Warner Brothers and spent 3 weeks at number 2 on the Billboard charts in 1963 ("Hello Mudduh" that is). The publisher is Hill & Range Songs, BMI.

I just got 4p (what, just now? yeah, I don't buy CD's alot.) I just got it from BMG music club (hahahahaha!) and they have their own printings of albums or something, everything you buy has 'BMG music blah blah' printed on it. Now I've heard 'cantspeak' on the radio, and I don't remember it sounding exactly like this: in the middle of the track there's a nice volume change part, but EVERYTHING including vocals and drums are all overdriven and distorted and it was painful inside my headphones. I turned the volume down, thinking my stereo was hosed, but it still sounded like shit. Then that part of the tune ended and everything was normal. Then it did it again. Is my CD mis-manufactured???

However you are taking what I said out of context, I asked that people stop talking about glenn, as it's not really misfits related. But I also defend my view of Glenn. Yes, a lot of my view comes from excerpts of interviews with jerry and doyle that I have seen posted on the net in various locations... now I guess jerry and doyle could be lying, but I chose to believe their side of the story. I also still respect Glenn Danzig as a musician... I love his voice, I love his lyrics I have every fucking Danzig album I saw him in concert in '89 touring the first Danzig album, and I saw him touring Danzig 4. When I saw him in '89 there was a smaller audience than at the Misfits ressurection show that I recently attended - Danzig did not talk to the crowd afterwards, Jerry did. Furthermore I saw Glenn the day before the show, signing records etc, he made an announcemenet, everyone there to see him wearing a misfits shirt was to take it off because chances are they were bootlegs, if you didn't want to take your shirt off you were asked to get out of line.... PLUS I am close friends with a girl who lived in hollywood, her boyfriend's father was a contractor that worked on a studio that danzig was recording in, she got to go in and meet him and talk to him... so you can say that I have no idea what I'm talking about but I belive I have a pretty fucking solid foundation for my beliefs, and whatsmore I fucking agreed with you that people should stop posting about glenn, it appears that we have all agreed to disagree, END OF SUBJECT... and now that I've made a hipocrit of myself by writing this long ass post defending myself... l8r (future bandmates, where are you?)

Glenn ahs basically said "fuck you" to the Misfits fans and the band, and yet all i see is talk about his new album. i heard one of the songs on the radio and personally thopught it sucked because it WAS just like White Zombie. Glenn was doing his own thing for a time, and then i guess saw that "dark rock" wasn't doing as well as "grindcore", so he's now attempting to combine the two and fool everyone. phoo! anyway, gotta go! i'm getting kicked out of my school's computer lab for some training session. j., theuerkauf $1 for the demo. don't forget! 129 Alten NE Grand Rapids, MI 49503 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 1996 14:29:56 -0500 (EST) From: 01wethomas@bsuvc.bsu.edu Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #244 I'm really tired oh all this nonsense on the MB lately.

Hello Fiends and Horror Kids alike... Well here we go with our next set of questions and i see some of you liked the Cthulhu question but only one person got it right so far. I can say there are several Cthulhu webpages on the net if you need help. Plus if you really are a Cthulhu fan there is some neat stuff, like for the 1992 elections there was a Cthulhu for President pack, the slogan "Don't Settle For The Lesser Evil." Now on to the new questions: 1) In the movie the Mole People, what did the Mole Men eat? 2) Who were the Morlocks and what book did they appear in. (2 extra points for the name of the author and what year the book came out.) 3) In the movie Tarantula, how do they end up killing the monster? 4) What was Colossa Island, and who's creatures would you find on it, also what movie took you to it? 5) Name the three people who were lost in the Land of the Lost and what year the show first aired?( 1 extra point for each nickname of the dinosaurs that lived on the island, there were 8 of them.) It was nice to see that a lot of the bible members are sick of the same shit i'm sick of hearing. What i don't understand is why some of you people are here if you don't like Glenn and you don't like what the new Misfits are doing. If you don't like what this news letter is based on and all you do is flame who we are talking about maybe it's time you find a new place. I'm here cause i still like Danzig, and i do like the New Misfits. I've been into the Misfits for close to 10 years, i do not like Metallica and you are lucky if you could find one fiend in Miami back in the mid to late 80's. Lucky me i did. The point is i like the bible but it pisses me off to see so much wasted space on bullshit. 1) If you don't like the fact that the Misfits are going with Geffen Records, do the punk (bullshit) thing and stop listening to them since it's not cool to listen to a band on a major label. 2) If you don't like Danzig, to bad, this is not the place to post your hate of Glenn. Especially those of you that base your hate from what you read about him. I think Mark busts his ass three times a week for us and this is the shit we give him. Damn i think we need to be a little more appreciative of him and his work. By maybe stop this stupid flaming crap. By the way (non misfits related) the guy with the thing about the Undertaker, i know the promoter for the WWF, and i was told that there are actually two guys that play the role of the Undertaker. That is how they can have the character wrestling in two places at once. To, Johnny Crunch, hey Snapper Head, what do you think this is one of those radio contests, just playing. Obviously i'n not the only person that saw The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. Though it was scary enough that a band from NY named themselves ZuZu Petals. well its been real as usual. Everyone who is playing the trivia game, all answers need to be in to me by sunday at 10pm ( tes777@bridge.net ). also please for this weeks answers save a copy of your answers on your computer.

I spoke to the band tonight and they said they have many plans for such things - so don't worry. Another thing - I recently received a message from somebody who was attempting to sell the German 12" import of Evilive for $450. This record was put out in 1984 by Aggressive Rock Produktionen and is fairly common among collectors, even though only 12000 (supposedly) were pressed. That record usually sells for around $25. Don't be ripped off. If a price seems outrageous, or just a bit suspicious, please check with me or someone else on this mailing list. The Misfits are not meant to be an investment... records are just pieces of plastic. If something's collectable, a high price is understandable, but only within a certain limit. There are some people out there who just want to make a quick buck. Don't let them do it. mark ------------------------------ From: Dagon7ckr@aol.com Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1996 02:03:06 -0400 Subject: Danzig Stuff/Misfits on Geffen I've only post here once before (ish 138), but I got to meet Glenn at a Verotik signing tonight and thought I'd pass on the info I got from him... First Glenn said he's still working on the Samhain box and plans to put it out on Hollywood records. He also said he still plans to put out the Deathdealer soundtrack. No idea when these are coming out. Glenn said the fanclub ep consists of one album track, one bonus track and an interview track and is gonna be free to fanclub members. I asked if the bonus track was White Devil Rise, but he said no because he wasn't finished working on it. He said he recorded a slower version during the Blackacidevil seasons, but it still needs work. Overall Glenn was very cool and would sign anything other than boots or the Misfits boxed set. And yes he is one short mo' fo'. Finally I'd just like to add my 2 cents on the Misfits/Geffen deal. Cool. Make some money guys, you deserve it. As long as a band can cut a deal to put out the music they want and fans enjoy, there is no reason why they shouldn't get well compensated for it. Fuck the fanboys who can't stand to see Joe Average dig on "your" band. I've had to bite the bullet dozens of times on this issue since 1991 when punk broke. Live with it. The music will still rock, and when the smoke clears and some other band is the flavor of the week you'll still have all your old records. Nothing is sacred. Especially not punk rock or the Misfits. -Dagon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1996 13:09:40 -0700 From: Richard Subject: Samhain CD's I really want to have the Samhain CD's.

Does YOURS sound like that?" yes, they all sound like that, which is why i dont like it and it has been played maybe 4 times unlike my other Danzig Cds, which have been played about a thousand times! Fafhrd said -> Also, a whole lotta people write Cthulhu, >one guy created him, and he ain't fact. Too bad no one's >made a decent bad movie of one to be turned into a song ?? Well, actually Aliester Crowley wrote about Cthulhu, and his stuff was "Fact" based in that i guess he believed that crap he was writing about was real. There are several movie adaptations of HP Lovecraft stories the most famous of course is Reanimator, but there are others like From Beyond, and a few others that I cant remember. My old video store had a bunch of them and I taped most of them. None are really as good as any of the stories, excpet for Herber West, Reanimator, which is just loosely based on the original. Yea, Tes, Zu Zu petals ... i saw one of their cds in the store and i couldnt stop laughing "who killed bobby black, who killed johhny crunch, whos art mooney?" funny funny movie!

I don't think Michale is stuck on himself. Not that he doesn't have a reason to be, if I was the singer of the misfits I would be stuck on myself. Anyway, a few times that I saw them he did talk to people, and I thought he was actually a pretty nice guy. I don't know what the fuck punk is either. I don't think anyone really does judging by the amount of argument over it's definition on here lately. Is punk not being "stuck on" yourself and shaking hands with the crowd? Hopefully it's more than that. I'm not trying to be rude, but it just doesn't make sense to me to say someone doesn't know what punk is because because they didn't shake hands with a few fans. Leah btw- as for criticism if he does read this I'm sure he gets enough. ------------------------------ From: antacid@onmacon.com Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1996 11:44:10 -0500 Subject: Misfits Bible, #245 Hello Fiends. After seeing several appearences of DEVILOCK in the bible, I feel it is my duty to inform you about another band with the same name. But don't worry, they are no tribute band. They are a complete Rip-Off band. They have gone by several names: hate Breeders, Fiends, and Devilock. Their singer likes The Crow and Danzig, so his moniker is CROZIG. They have songs with titles like: Spinal Remains, and Maggots in the eye of love. What's worse is they hail from..... get this... Macon Georgia. I too live in Macon, so that comment was not meant as a slam to my hometown. but, they figure that noone around here has heard of the misfits or of danzig!

Tammy, for your information, the WWF's Undertaker charactor is played by Marc Calloway (sp). Back in '94, there was an angle where he, the REAL Undertaker, was feuding with the EVIL Undertaker, played by Brian Lee. However, now there is only Marc. Wow, this Geffan records thing is running longer than the "Justin is a racist" thing. Folks, get over it. Your "punk" perception of majors is somewhat reality-based, as in majors will sign bands just because they are of a commercial style, your idea that majors' CEOs manipulate bands into 'alternative' clones is more of a silly idea in a comic book world. I don't have time right now for a big arguement, so I'll just say one thing. If the majors really sign bands just to change them, why would they sign an established band when the could hire Joe Schmoe to play their pre-made mainstream role. Being underground just to be underground is the same as being a 'fan' of whatever is on the radio just to be mainstream! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1996 17:10:34 -0500 From: Brian Cox Subject: Resurection CD I was going through mt local record store the other day and I came upon a Misfits Resurection CD. What exactly is this? I think it is just a live recording from sometime this tour because it had some new songs on it. I havn't been paying a lot of attention lately but when did this get released. If anybody wants it I could get it and mail it to you. I'll have to get the price on it but I think it was around $20-25. I don't know the availabilty of it but it was too expensive for me. I don't even know if I like the Misfits now. That would be a lot of money to throw away on one CD. If you want it just e-mail me and I'll go back and see if it is still there. ------------------------------ From: llama@sprynet.com Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1996 18:25:35 -0700 Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #245 >> The SEX PISTOLS started to get "off the dole". To be independent of a welfare system. TO MAKE MONEY! Anyone that thinks punk is about not making money is falling sucker to a movement that has exploited punk for its own financial gains. "Money is evil, so free yourself and give it to me" is what they're feeding you. Do you think CAREER OPPORTUNITIES is about not making money ? How about RIGHT TO WORK. You probably never even heard of these songs. You're just playing into the mass-media version of punk rock, which was created to destroy what had originally been a positive revolution. << Well said, Bobby. If you wanna try to pull the system down by not participating in it, by being poor and squatting your whole life - good luck. Even for an anarchist... You can achieve much more by doing bigger things that make money, for yourself and others. Why should you fall into obscurity, and never be heard from? You become almost voiceless, and silence is a sign of approval. Be loud, obnoxious and fucking public about it. Make tons of money, and be generous to people who work hard and deserve it. Don't draw between the lines, and you will be rewarded. Not to say that squatting and poor is all wrong, I mean go ahead, and experiment. Try different things, and find your own formula. On the same token, don't just go for the money, or "settle for a middle class living" Destroy class. Make tons of money, and destroy class at the same time. I'm talking here about constantly trying to meet your MAXIMUM potential, though innovation. Innovation is important... if you plan on having people hear your point of view, and you think a rock band is a good way of expressing that - fine, jut as long as you don't intend on being "just like such and such" or you are a fucking sell out. Bands and people who claim to be one thing, and are another are sell outs. People that are out for the money. Making money is good, if you do the right things with it, and you are making a difference doing it. Actions that open people's minds are important. Go public, and be heard.. because people need to have all this brainwashing undone. A succesful life shouldn't be an easy one. You know, if you are happy and settled.. I want you to know that you could be a lot happier, and so end your fucking complacentcy. It's time to kick some ass, and say something. What point is there of having a position on any issue, if you can't say it, and explain it? AND SAY IT LOUD. Have fun doing it, too though. John Lydon has spent the better part of his life shitting in the face of teen-exploiting rock music. Some people think PiL is shit, and all of that... But even if it is to unconventional for you, listen to the content in those songs. They all say a lot. Brave shit. And he is on Virgin. So is Smashing Pumpkins, but that goes to show you that you shouldn't judge an "artist" by their label. Labels have lots of uses. That's record labels I am talking about. And some "artists" aren't artists one fucking bit. They are money hounds. It's kind of funny that I read it in Guitar World with Sex Pistols, but Green Day was talking about record companies. Much of what they said was true. One of the things that Billie said was that record companies are out to make money, it's a fucking business and that it's a lot like horse racing, so they pick the bands that present the least risk. What a boring thought, and that is why much of the majors suck shit so bad. I thought that was funny coming from Green Day, and all that. But if you look at the facts, Green Day did have some succesful indie label (Lookout) success before being put on the major. That lowered the risk I guess, but their music is so much like what is out there, you could also say that they would have presented zero risk anyway. I would say so. It just made aquisition for the major easier. Record companies and bands do indeed exploit kids. It's easy and cheap to manufacture and sell junk food is it not? And the content of junk food is shit. It is more difficult and expensive to manifacture and package fine, all natural foods, is it not? If you were looking for the most fucking profit up yor ass, which food would you sell? I am sure yall are smart enough to fill in between the lines here too, and to add some extra stuff. Please do. Oh, and to anybody that wants to complain about the length of my message - go fuck yourself. I talked and fucking talked again. I gave my part of it, and explained it in depth. Would you rather suffer through some shallow argument. OH, NO WAIT! YOU WOULD RATHER HEAR SOME SHALLOW ARGUMENT, SO YOUR REBUTTAL WOULD SOUND BETTER, AND YOUR ESTEEM WOULD BE RAISED. Yeah, you're a shit head. You not fucking worth my time, and you can't fool anyone but the dumbest.

He was in his streetclothes and I dont think many people recognized so he could have just kept walking but he didn't. And I just wanted to add my two cents about Danzing. Everybody says that I should like him cause he is such a great songwriter but as far as Im concerned he hasn't written much good stuff after Inituim, and most of that I didn't like. It's not that I think he's a cock or whatever, I just don't like his music. Pretty simple. I used to like what he wrote, now I dont. I guess that makes me a bad person eh?

"Blackacidevil" will hit record stores on Oct. 30, the day before Halloween. A Danzig spokeswoman said the new album has no satanic references but does have "dark, Gothic and sexual" overtones. The recording artist, she said, denies he is a satanist. Financially troubled Hollywood Records lured Danzig from a Time Warner Inc. label with a reported seven figure deal. The move was unprecedented for Hollywood Records, which, in keeping with Disney's wholesome image, had stayed away from rap and other explicit music. Hollywood Records spokeswoman Sue Sawyer also said the new album has no satanic messages. "It's only rock 'n' roll," Sawyer said. "For 40 years, people have been scandalized by it." ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #245 From: dave naked Date: Sat, 19 Oct 1996 13:11:26 EDT >Date: Wed, 16 Oct 1996 19:08:20 -0500 >From: 138 >Subject: Glenn > I just want to say that I hope this industrial "music" is only >a one album thing,you could kind of see it coming on Danzig 4.

They charge outrageous prices because they are a national chain. I usually go to Best Buy or Media Play (if you even have one in your town) and they have CD's for $12 or $13, and some Misfits CD's are $10. The box set was $53. If Musicland is the only place where you live that sells music, then I guess you lose and have no choice, but I suggest you try other places cuz you're getting ripped off. About the Undertaker business, I love the Undertaker! He's so damn cool, and for him to be involved with the Misfits would be cool. I don't think there are two guys who play him though. A few years back there was this fake Undertaker who was obviously shorter than the real one who wresteled the real Undertaker. Maybe thats what you're thinking. Shrug.. I saw the Misfits in July of this year and they were totally awesome. Michale Graves is definitely the right man for the job. I've heard their new songs from Shocking Return and they're pretty high caliber tunes if you ask me. Later.... --Dan-- aka Bleeding Ulcer "I just saw the gayest guy on earth." - A.C.

Heat and the Misfits The Geffen thing is kinda getting old, and it's almost completely gone, but let me end on this note. Let me use Reverend Horton Heat as an example. They have signed to Interscope which has some bands like Bush and Primus, and has there been any change in their music??????? No. It's Martini Time is just as good as their previous three albums which were on the small Sub-Pop label. MTV, radio, and popular culture do not know how to handle a band like the Rev. and the Misfits. They cannot be defined, labeled, etc. which is why you don't hear about them from these sources. Certainly there is a certain amount of musical evolution that goes on, but this is inevitable. There is no way either of these bands will sell out, and if they do become popular it is because of their talent and not because they sold out.

From: Daniel P Abell Date: Sun, 20 Oct 1996 02:57:03 EDT this seems like a stretch BUT: there are spiral notebooks, 3 subject, college ruled blank paper with 138 SHEETS! Now why would the company, STUART HALL, arbitrarily pick 138 sheets, not 150? 3 subject means 46 sheets per subject, not 50 or 40 or 45. ONE THIRTY EIGHT sheets!!

They concluded their encore with Astro Zombies. I hear it was great! Next up, Glenn bashing. I've met him several times. He had PMS each time. Maybe I'm just lucky, maybe he hates Texas, who knows? Then again, Texas is the reason that the president's dead. Musically, I admire(d) Glenn. He has talent, but personally he is an egocentric, self-centered megalomaniac. I feel as though I have perfect right to say "I hate Mr. Anzalone." Tammy, just because I hate Glenn Danzig does not mean I can't still love The Misfits. Oh, and I have not heard The "new" Misfits yet, so I can't say whether I like them or not. Maybe if we could get a single... The reason I am on here is (1.) Bobby. I always loved The Undead. People used to shit on me (I won't name names, you people know who you are.) for taking up for Bobby and for liking The Undead, yet when I noticed these same people here on this newsletter, they are suddenly sucking Bobby's dick. (2.) The fiends. I live in a shitty little town. It's culture shock to move back from a city where there are five people wearing The Misfits t-shirts, or with the Chrimson Ghost patch on their leather, every time you step onto the 16 bus, to a town of 70,000 where there are literally only two other "punks". (Their collection consists of NOFX, Bad Religion, Rancid, Green Day, Offspring, and The Misfits....yep.) I'm not here to talk about how much I love Glenn, and I am not here to say how much I love a band I have never heard, so if that means I shouldn't be on here, please start a petition to have Mark unsubscribe me. OK, now back to my Doom II game... Oh yeah, I am making a Misfits Doom II level, anyone with any tips or ideas drop me a line. I might also try one with Duke Nuke 3D.

As i put in Never Say Die! on my record player, i looked over it and saw the book Nineteen Eighty-Four, I thought surely this can't be what they got it from, but i read the back of the book and it was, pretty cool huh?

The reason your 4p CD sounds weird after hearing CANTSPEAK on the radio is because radio stations compress the sound so it doesn't go over a certain level, the quiet parts come in crystal clear and when it hits that level the sound doesn't get any louder so the distorted vocals don't come through as well, you'll probably notice the same thing on the drums in UNTIL YOU CALL ON THE DARK. Don't be embarrassed for thinking the CD was fucked up, I thought the same thing when I first heard CANTSPEAK, the first time you hear the distortion on Glenn's vocals it just seems really strange, but I got used to it and prefer it now. I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy with mid-term bullshit (okay, okay, so I was really licking my wounds after llama and Greg both gave me the thrashing of a lifetime). It seems that last issue's magic word was RAT FINK, anyone got the original version and would they like to make a copy for me, I've just GOT to hear this! > Hey, that drum skin that Jerry and Doyle gave to Kirk in 89 can >be seen in the October issue of Guitar Player, Big deal, the drumskin Chud gave me three months ago can be seen whenever the hell I want, it's on my wall (I told you Chud was cool!). Hey guys!! 138 sighting!!! I saw it between 137 and 139!!!!! I think it means something truly profound, something that will better the state of humankind!!!! I also saw 777 between... Alright, I think you get it! Glenn ate one of the Misfits former drummers? Where do you people get this stuff? Ya know, if you look up "gullible" in the dictionary, it isn't there, Ya know! And boy did you get gulled. Mr. Perrin, I don't know what you're talking about, Michale always talks to the crowd, and even if he didn't who fuckin' cares, I didn't know when he joined band he had it written in wolfsblood that he had suck every fiends cock after the show, maybe he had a bad night and didn't feel like talking, maybe he knew you were out there, maybe yore too stuck on yuo'reself. Think about it. (Nanny nanny boo boo? I can see why you got in) And for the last time, the Misfits are not punk! "But Eerie Von says they are in the Box's liner notes." So, what does Eerie know, he wasn't in the band (No offense Eerie, if you're reading this). Jerry has said on numerous occasions that the Misfits are not punk and never were! It's just that back in the day, those were the only people who were interested. He has said that he wants to be bigger than Guns 'N Roses when they were at their peak (seems logical to get on the label they are on), and to hell with all of you punks. The guy is trying to feed his wife and kids and all you can say is he's selling out, selling out to what? He has made his goals clear and is now doing everything he can to acheive them. Best of luck, Mo! I'm wearing nothing but chocolate pudding and a smile, come get me with that big vibrating spoon of yours!

Friends, I have a friend who is a reliable source within the music industry who told me a couple of future events, and I was wondering if I could get your comments on them: 1. First of all, I heard that Gary Cherone has been kicked out of Van Halen and that they are asking Glenn Danzig to be the new singer. 2. I also heard that after Glenn leaves Danzig, Tommy is going to take over the band and call it Victor. 3. I heard that John Christ is living in Africa and has dedicated his life to fighting in a guerrilla army. 4. Doyle is leaving the Misfits to pursue a soap opera acting career (he prefers "Guiding Light", but said he would do any show that lets him get in touch with his "feminine side"). 5. David Lee Roth is recording a few songs with the Misfits for their "Greatest Hits" album due out soon. The rumors are that he will stay on as their permanent singer, but nothing official has been released yet. 6. Glenn is waiting until the year 2000 to release the Samhain box set so it can be released on Halloween (which IS a Tuesday). 7. One more difference that Mark forgot to mention about the Earth AD re-release is that Glann's vocals have been dubbed over with with that of a belching chihuahua, which sounds the same and they don't have to pay Glenn royalties. 8. Finally, I heard that Danzig is doing a "Christmas Unplugged" show on MTV with Mariah Carey and Vanessa Williams. If anyone knows anything about these rumors, please let me know. I really like the song "Mother '93" (by Danzig) and I also like "Last Carress" (by Metallica, but written for them by Glenn), so I consider myself to be a big fan, and I think if anything ever happened to the band, I would just kill myself (like that skinny guy with the big nose who used to sing for the Misfits and had the same last name as Glenn). That's all for now; have a nice day and send me lots of hateful e-mail. P.S. Why do all you people spell "friend" without the "r"? Are you all stupid or am I missing something? Doug Haskin ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Oct 1996 15:20:01 -0700 From: Otto Subject: danzig's new album in newspaper In a local newspaper called "The Press Democrat" they had a little thingy on Glenn Danzig and Blacacidevil. HERE'S WHAT IT SAID: HEAVY DISNEY Mickey Mouse is going heavy metal. The Walt Disney Co.'s Hollywood Records is planning to release an album from Danzig, a heavy metal band whose songs contain dark themes. "Blackacidevil" is due to hit record stores Oct. 30, the day before Halloween. A Danzig spokeswoman said the new album has no satanic references but does have "dark, Gothic and sexual" overtones. Recording artist Glenn Danzig, the spokeswomen said, says he is not a satanist. Financially troubled Hollywood Records lured Danzig from a Time Warner Inc. label with a reported seven-figure deal. The move was unprecedented for Hollywood Records, which, in keeping with Disney's wholesome image, had stayed away from rap and other explicit music. Hollywood Records spokeswoman Sue Sawyer also said the new album has no satanic messages. "It's only rock 'n' roll," she said. THE VIEW EXPRESSED HERE ARE NOT NECESSARILY MINE.

Each death is arranged according to the 10 plagues of Egypt.* 5) Name the one monster that looks like it has hotdogs sticking out of its mouth, what was the movie and how were the monsters formed? *The Party beach Monster, The Horror of Party Beach, and radioactive waste was dumbed into the ocean were it spills near an old sunken ship. skeletons of the crew turn into the monsters. rent the movie and you will see that the monsters look like they have hotdogs sticking out of their mouths. * Set #8 1) Where was the Creature from the Black Lagoon Trilogy filmed? *The first was at Wakulla Springs(not far from Tallahassee) the other two were at Marineland of Florida and Silver Springs.* Plus the guy who played the creature Ricou Browning still lives in Florida till this day.* No i have never met him, but i did see the first film in its original 3-D form. 2) How many Godzilla movies were made to this day and name them all? *1) Godzilla 1954; 2) Godzilla Raids Again(japanese title) 1955; 3) King Kong VS Godzilla 1962; (4 Godzilla VS the Thing(Mothra) 1964; 5) Ghidrah, the Three Headed Monster 1964; 6) Godzilla VS.

Which is beneath the sea. He is a giant monster that has a head like an octopus, a scaly body, long yet narrow wings (like that of a demon) and large claws on his hind and fore feet. H.P Lovecraft wrote the story Call of Cthulhu in 1928, yet a lot of the concepts of Cthulhu fit into many older religions. The Necronomicon is supossed to be the truth of Cthulhu, and had first come out in 1977, and is not about the books from Lovecraft. This book is more reality based. Some one brought up Tiamat the in of the answers i got, which is funny since she does exist in the Jewish religion, and is said to be the counterpart to Cthulhu in the Necronomicon. In 1977 the book was released as a hardcover book and i know that there is a rare spell book that was put out too. (i dated a Mad Italian(like the Mad Arab) who had the book)* 5) What episode of the X-Files aired the Danzig song Deep, give exact name of the episode and what the episode was about? *Syzygy(1/26/96) the moon the sun and the earth come into line and two girls before and on their birthday receive supernatural powers. they go on a killing spree of people they don't like, the whole town is out of wack. this effects Mulder and Skully.

Top three scores are First Franz Ardito with 95 1/2 points, Uncle Kirt with 90 points, and Jess with 65 1/2 points. Not bad guys, though no one got the the question # 5 from last monday. Only Franz knew the Mole People ate mushrooms, only Kirt got the #4 from Friday, and only Jess got the right number of people killed in #4 from monday. that is it for now and it has been a trying day to say the least. You guys know the deal - in by Sunday 10pm to tes777@bridge.net Later to all the fiendies!?!

On HORROR BUSINESS, I played a Gibson MARAUDER; it had a stock, single coil pickup from what I can remember about it. On the SONGSHOP sessions, I used a combination of guitars, including a STRAT with stock, single-coil pickups; a LES PAUL CUSTOM with a stock HUMBUCKER; the ole MARAUDER; and even a DANELECTRO with it's "LIPSTICK TUBE" pickup. For the MSP session, My main guitar was THE PAUL (not the L.P. CUSTOM) with a SUPER DISTORTION HUMBUCKER. >From: llama@sprynet.com > >Well said, Bobby. If you wanna try to pull the system down by not >participating >in it, by being poor and squatting your whole life - good luck. very well-written commentary. I can say I agree with this for at least 90% of what's said. >On another note, when is the Misfits album on Geffen due to be >released, and what tracks are supposed to be on it? Slow down, boy ! I doubt they've even started recording it yet. Let's leave a little bit of surprise to this . . . . . . . and to the guy bitching about Michale being too 'stuck up' and not taking the time to talk to him . . . MAYBE he had a bad night. Maybe he wasn't feeling well. THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS - THEY GET SICK and they get moody. They're allowed to. Michale's only obligation to you is to put his best effort into every performance. Would you rather it that he sang shitty, but spent several hours going door-to-door to say "HI" to all his fans ? Touring is stressful. It sucks. The only thing that makes it worthwhile is that brief moment that you're on stage. The rest of the time can be total hell - sleep three hours and then drive six hours to the next gig's soundcheck at 5:00 only to find out that the sound man won't be ready until 8:00 (and you already have an in-store set for 7:30). If he's sick, and he doesn't baby his voice - is it fair that he should have to cancel several shows, just so he can take the time to cough in your face ? Give him the benefit of the doubt. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Oct 1996 20:24:41 -0700 From: "R.B."

And what is more, no, he didn't "believe in all that shit he wrote", at least not in the way you mean. Cthulhu was invented by H.P. Lovecraft, plain and simple. A lot of other authors have written about the big guy, including Robert E. "Conan" Howard, Brian Lumley, and... well, just about everybody. Cthulhu pops up in stuff like the "Illuminatus!" trilogy because of the apparent widespread belief that he is actually real and the Lovecraft didn't make him up, and that there is some kind of cover-up to prevent you from knowing the truth. As far as the Necronomicon, there was that hardcover version that later became a paperback from Avon Books, written by "Simon" and containing all kinds of references to pseudo-Sumerian mythology. Myself, I don't even think it's a particularly clever fraud. There was another one published at some point that was made up by some other fantasy authors, where the pages all seem to be written in some weird alien script. This is a slick forgery designed to look like the real thing, but it's pretty damn rare. (If you look carefully you'll see that the pages repeat themselves). Of course, I could be lying. I could be trying to cover up that "R'Lyeh" is how the Fungi from Yuggoth pronounce "Roswell". NEIL ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Oct 1996 12:39:56 -0400 From: Kevin Subject: The Misfits Live. This is my first post in the Misfits Bible. I've been reading this thing for quite a while and I think it's about time I put my two cents in. I've seen the 'new' Misfits twice so far and they kicked ass both times. I saw them once at the Odeon in Cleveland (one of their first shows back) and then at the World Series of Heavy Metal, also in Cleveland. The first show rocked, and so did Michale. He got the crowd so fuckin' pumped and he was right there in front of the stage singin' with the mike in the crowds face. It was an incredible show, I couldn't believe it. He even walked out onto the pit and we were holding him up by his boots while we all screamed the choruses at the top of our lungs. The World Series show was okay, but it was in a theatre and there was seating like an auditorium, so it kinda sucked. Also, Michale wasn't even there because he got arrested for being in a fight in the Flats that day (way to go, man). Needless to say, the Misfits still rocked. Jerry stated the even though Michale wasn't there they would "never give up". And give up they didn't. They had Jerry singing most of the songs and some dudes even jumped up on stage to lend a hand in singing. I wanted to jump on stage and sing but I got elbowed in the throat by some 700 lb. lard-butt in the Mushroomhead pit. Yes, the Misfits do live on, but they live on in the same way as the Who and Rolling Stones live on. They are a 'reunion' band that is mostly playing old songs and putting out new stuff. As far as I'm concerned, the real Misfits are dead, even though they still rock. Glenn still rules, Michale rules, but it'll never be the same, people, face it. To all of those Glenn-bashers out there, get real. Glenn has gone on to do great things after the Misfits. What did Jerry do after the 'fits? Kryst the Conqueror? Hah. So he went back to the Misfits. Glenn doesn't need to go back to his former glory to prove he is the King. A big FUCK YOU to the Glenn haters. And tell me Verotik comics aren't the most kick-ass books out there (along with FAUST). Sorry this is so damn long, but I had to vent. (Whew...)

I like each and every song. "7th House" is probably my least favorite but I still like it. If you've only heard "7th House" and think the rest of the album sounds like that (ultra-distorted with a very harsh beat), don't think the rest of the album is like that because it's not. The songs are very catchy and I could easily see people dancing to them rather than just slamming around to them. My favorites are "Sacrifice", "Come to Silver" (which has to be a first: a country song with an industrial edge), & "Serpentina". I like them all. If you don't like "industrial" music, don't expect to be won over by it because although it is Danzig, the lyrics, the tone, etc., the sounds are very industrial. More like Nine Inch Nails than Filter, though, in my opinion. With this record, Glenn's once again moved on to a different area of music. His style has further evolved. It's natural for him. He's done it since the Misfits. The album is great, though. I was happy to hear that it was as good as it was. With the tape, I was sent a press release from the Hollywood Records website (I think) that confirmed that Glenn will have a role in "The Prophecy 2". He admits that there will be more fighting than talking, but who would have it anyother way? I wouldn't. The film is being produced by Miramax/Dimension, the same company that is planning a "Deathdealer" film based on the Frank Frazetta character and the character of the current Verotik title. Perhaps Glenn has something to do with the "Deathdealer" film (writing, music, who knows) and was offered the part in "The Prophecy 2" from his work on the first film. Who knows. All I know is that I'm glad to hear it. He'll most likely have a song or two on the soundtrack. "The Prophecy" was a great movie and dealt with subject matter very close to Glenn's heart (a war between angels). I remember telling EVB last summer when the movie came out that it was the perfect movie for his music to be in or for HIM to be in himself. Instead, who did they use for the soundtrack? Skid Row ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ From: CHRIS RYALS Date: Mon, 21 Oct 1996 14:26:26 +0000 Subject: What is Punk? Just to clear things up a little, because a whole lotta people (not everyone) seem to be confused. There is only on definition for punk and that is be yourself and just don't give a fuck. It don't mean be an asshole, it don't mean berate (badmouth) everything if it just doesn't go the way YOU want it to.if the Misfits want to sign, so fuckin what. I don't see where it will cause any physical injury to any body and that is all that truly counts. The Misfits weren't (and still aren't) that much punk anyway. I classify them as doom rock. They are still my favorite band. So if you are mad, or feel like flamin me, don't bother, cause i don't give a fuck! P.S. I am not an asshole, I just don't see why most of you can't grasp this concept. later, CrackerJack ------------------------------ From: llama@sprynet.com Date: Mon, 21 Oct 1996 12:41:46 -0700 Subject: RE: Last ish >> If anyone knows anything about these rumors, please let me know. I really like the song "Mother '93" (by Danzig) and I also like "Last Carress" (by Metallica, but written for them by Glenn), so I consider myself to be a big fan, and I think if anything ever happened to the band, I would just kill myself (like that skinny guy with the big nose who used to sing for the Misfits and had the same last name as Glenn). That's all for now; have a nice day and send me lots of hateful e-mail. P.S. Why do all you people spell "friend" without the "r"? Are you all stupid or am I missing something?

I'd really rather not see the fits sign their pride away, but its not my choice. I mean I guess if I had a family to support I might sell out my roots and status as the greatest punk icon ever. Sure, I'd just let everyone think I was doing it for better distribution or production or some shit like that, then I'd totally sell my legions of faithful followers, who live and die by my records down the river. I'd take the faith they have in me to remain true to some imaginery ideal and fuck it up the ass with a chainsaw. Yep, If I was in their situation, touring DIY, selling tons of records DIY, living moderately well, I'd sell my whole past to some cock suck in a business suit who just couldn't play "Purple Haze" as good as Slash from Guns N' Roses, so he went to college to learn how to manipulate real musicians into making him rich. Oh wait....I'm being sarcastic. The Misfits mean something to me, you, and a lot of other people in this world. Whether they asked for it or not, what they did and are doing made them icons, trademarks and references for what to be like if you're a punk. Now maybe it doesn't mean shit to them, but it does to me. If they sign to geffen, you will NOT see my ugly face at one of their shows again. Signing to a major label isn't necessarily bad in all cases. Not everyone shares the same ideals that the punk/ hardcore community does, so you can't blame them. But the misfits helped start this thing that we call punk, real punk not green friggin day or any of the MTV crap. We've lost Rollins, we lost the sex pistols, We've seen Glenn imitate trends. If we lose the misfits, its like watching Earth Crisis split a burger and share a joint. Atleast we still have the UNDEAD!!!!!(atleast we better) ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Buy my zine!!!

This message is directed to all the so called "punks" who say the Misfits shouldn't be on Geffen. Maybe you'd care to know that quite a lot of very good punk bands before the Misfits were on major labels including the MC5, Iggy and the Stooges (Elektra), the Dead Boys (Sire) and the New York Dolls (Mercury). All of these bands seem to be just as enduring as the Misfits, what's more, people don't remember them for being on big labels, or making lots of money (which most never really did anyway); they're remembered for making great music.

If I was looking to get the most profit, I would sell what people wanted, not necessarily what was the cheapest to make. If I make twinkies for a quarter a pack and sell them for a dollar a pack but nobody wants them, it doesnt matter what it costs to make them, people are going to buy something else. The same goes for record i companies. They sign bands and put out records to make money, not to sign bands that nobody likes and or wants to see, regardless of their artistic merit. And the only way they are going to do that is to sell things people WANT to hear, not what people are told they want to hear. Greenday and the Offspring made it huge because there was a market for pop-punk bands. It could have been anybody in there shoes. In the mid 80s, the market was for hair head metal bands, cause thats what people wanted to listen to. MTV and record companies dont exploit anybody, except maybe, just maybe, the bands that they sign. Actually, your logic seems to run very close to that of Bob Dole in his arguments against hollywood and the record industry for putting out movies and records that have sex and violence on them (unless they starred GOP supporters) rather than family movies. Its all supply and demand. IF there was no demand for the Misfits, Geffen wouldnt give a shit if they were the best band in the world, they would be putting out there own albums...

Haskin" Subject: danzig article DANZIG TO RECORD DISNEY SOUNDTRACK Due to a vast public outcry upon the announcement of Hollywood Records decision to release the new Danzig album, "Blackacidevil", Walt Disney Co. is rethinking their contract with Glenn Danzig. Although Walt Disney Co. cannot drop Mr. Danzig due to the terms of his contract, he is required to produce a certain amount of albums within the next few years. How many albums? "I'm not at liberty to discuss my client's contract," said Vinny Scarcissiciso, Mr. Danzig's new agent, when asked this question. A Disney spokeswoman, however, stated in a press release today that Mr. Danzig would be recording a soundtrack for the upcoming Disney movie, "Flowers the Goose and Her Amazing Adventures". The movie is slated to hit theaters in the summer of '97 and Disney expects it to be their largest grossing movie yet. Disney claims that Mr. Danzig is not only recording the soundtrack, but doing the vocals for Elmer, Flowers' loving husband. Disney stated that Mr. Danzig was "enthusiastic about the opportunities" and wanted to start working on it immediately. Mr. Danzig was not available for comment, but was reported to have said that he was "pissed" and wanted to "kill" the "motherfucker" who was responsible. On the brighter side, phone calls and e-mail from parents have been pouring into Disney headquaters approving of Disney's attempt to reform the artist. Said Fremella "Bubbles" Edgret, 85, "That boy is so cute, why does he have to worship satan?" In other news, Mr. Danzig is making his acting debut in Disney's upcoming porno movie, "Prince Pain and his Seven Sluts", with former Danzig member John Christ supplying the soundtrack. This is straight from the New York Times... HONEST!!! Doug ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Oct 1996 20:58:29 -0400 (EDT) From: "D.ETH" Subject: some stuff To the guy who was asking about those missing lyrics in "Kiss Of Steel" (This was about 10 issues ago, sorry this took so long, I really didn't really give it much thought, but I was listening to the song last night and I remembered your question), I'm no authority on the subject, but the lyrics sound like "Breathe deep in a broken lung/The waiting ecstasy/We wait upon your heels/Kiss of Steel." But that's just what I think. Mark, do you know anything about this? To everyone who was talking about songs based on Lovecraft's writing or the Cthulhu Mythos in general, I've got a couple more for you. Metallica wrote two, "Call of Kutulu" whose origins are obvious and "The Thing That Should Not Be" which was based on the story "At the Mountains of Madness," and lastly I think Glenn himself wrote one, in "The Whisperer in the Darkness" their is a mention of a "Him Who is not to be Named," Sounds awfully similar to "He-Who-Can-Not-Be-Named." I don't think I'm stretching beyond the bounds of possiblity. I think I found out about the Danzig Fanclub, but I'd like Mark to check it out before I say anything more. He'll probably post it here, the News page or both. >> And in the end - how tall is Glenn? > >I heard about 5'2" 5'2"? That's ridiculous, I understand that he's 5'6", but who cares anyway? >p.s. misfits spelled backwards is stifsim, say that out loud, then >say simpson...

Subject: Lost on the wayside... Hello fiends and a couple of the lost souls... Well once again i said quite a bit and a lot of you understood what i was trying to point out. Yet there seems to be some lost souls that just don't get it. It seems to me you needed it nice and neatly explained or maybe if a brick was bashed against your heads. But no that is not needed. Plain and simple, what i am saying has nothing to do with ridding the Bible of controversy. Who ever said it your right, it makes the bible a little more interesting. But you can't tell me that if something happens that it is not talked about in the posts to DEATH!!! Stuff that should last one issue maybe two if you are really pushing it, but no, it goes on for fucking weeks. Misfits are signed with Geffen and people are still bitching about it. One person bitches about Glenn and a bunch more start on the wagon. Someone says something stupid(or at least thought stupid by others) some of you carry on for weeks beating the person or subject to death again. No wonder so many people are members and so few post. They just don't want to get flamed for something they say or think. I'm not trying to control or lead this bible, that was old bullshit that CG came up with in his rage at something(if anyone was foolish enough to think it was me, i never did anything to him or ever said anything bad till he pushed it to far). We are supposed to be fiends here, no one has yet to mention that the real Samhain coming up this Saturday. Or one word about Halloween which falls a week and a day from today. No the bulk of the bible is still stuck on the same crap. Mark, busts his ass and this is what he has to show for it, a bunch of bitching about the same topic. So now that the whole thing is clear as glass for those having some trouble comprehending what i have been saying the last issues, i hope this made sence for you all. Now onto one of the reasons we are here: New Questions. 1) How many Rodan creatures were in the Rodan movie? 2) In the movie Rosemary's Baby, how did they drug her before she was raped by the Devil? (2 extra points if you know who was in the band Rosemary's Baby) 3) What Movie was filmed in Hypnovision and what year did it come out? 4) What vampire movie title appears in a Misfits WAU song?(the title is part of the lyrics, plus there is a famous horror actor in the movie) 5) In movie The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, where did these pods first show up(city and state), what year was the book and movie come out, and who was the only person from that city not take by the body snatchers? that is it for now. you know the deal send answers in by sunday at 10pm to ( tes777@bridge.net ). Later to all the fiendies!?!

Yes, but they were oh so daring with The Dead Milkmen's "Let's Get the Baby High." Then again, Walt Disney was one of the most noted users of LSD in history, so how "family values" oriented is that? >Mark...hmmm, not sure if you can answer this one...but, why isnt >releasing those Plan 9 re-issues??.

They can >do it in limited edition, a cool box, plan 9 logo. The possibiltys are >endless. Glenn owns the Plan 9 Records trademark, therefore it is Glenn's decision. Remember, in Glenn's eyes, we all suck, and he's making enough cash from Danzig now, that he doesn't need the 5-digit sales of that "punk rock shit" (to quote Glenn) anymore. Caroline legally cannot release The Misfits' material under Plan 9. However, I think it will all be released again on Caroline. Speaking of which, is it just me or does Caroline make the cheapest cassettes on Earth?! I remember when I first bought Legacy of Brutality. I wanted to puke it sounded so bad. And back in '90 when I got Final Descent, my tape snapped the day I got it. I returned it, bought another one, and the tape came off the reel. So, I took it back, bitched and they gave me the CD for the same price. That was the last time I was brave enough to buy a Caroline tape. At least their vinyl is pretty thick. `'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'` '`'` "Find my baby, gonna find her now, she looks like Patti Smith, Surfin' Cow!"

I too have been reading the Bible for a few issues now and I just have to contribute my two cents. Back in May I had the chance to see the Misfits in Cambridge Mass, and in a few words the show just blew me away. At the show there were all kinds of people and we had been warned before the show started by a HUGE bouncer that put Mr. Universe to shame that if there were problems we would answer to him. Well, needless to say there were absolutely no altercations during the show. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen...tons of different "kinds" of people doing nothing but enjoying an absolutely incredibel show. Nobody was doing anything else. I think we were all just so excited about actually being able to see the Misfits, that nothing else mattered. My second and third chances to see the Misfits came to a tragic end. They cancelled their Colo. Springs show due to technical reasons and when we came back to see the rescheduled show it turned out that the tour had been cut short for some reason or another. Anyway, the highlight of the events came when the Springs show was canceled. A couple friends and I went up and knocked on the door of the bus, and first came Chud, the Jerry and then Doyle. The guys hung out with the few people who showed up after they found out it had been canceled, and they just sat around talking, laughing, signing, and taking pictures for about 5 hours. I had the absolutely best time of my life when I met the Misfits. Michale came in later on a flight because he was sick or something like that, but he still seemes pretty cool about everything. So to all of you who say that its not really the Misfits, or Michale is an asshole, or whatever your complaint is, I reply with only this: I've seen 'em play, I met them and hung out for an evening, and they just blew me away. To me they are THE MISFITS. Plain and simple. Get it through your thick skulls that ALL the "original" members don't have to be there for it to work. they are the misfits.

Fiends: Danzig in 'Prophecy II'? Cool! Anyone know when it's supposedly coming out? Can someone clear this matter up also: A while ago I heard that they were considering Glenn for the part of Wolverine in an X-Men movie. Is this movie really being made, and if so, with Glenn? He would be perfect. I also heard Mel Gibson as Wolvie. I have also just completed a set of 4 illustration prints of the Misfits. There is one of Jerry, Doyle, Glenn, and the Crimson Ghost. I was wondering if anybody would be interested in purchasing these. They come in an envelope that says 'Misfits Portfolio I'. Anyone interested email me for a brochure and more info. I'm going to see a GWAR show on the 25th and the band opening up is Mushroomhead. Make sure to watch for them in your town.

I think it's important to bear in mind that whatever YOU think punk rock is, and however much you want the Misfits to fit that ideal, all that really maters in the long run is what the band means to Jerry, Michale (however the fuck you spell it), Doyle, and Chud. When I saw them play last year, they seemed to be more about having a good time than anything else, and the fans had a really good time too. They're just doing what they want to do, and the money issue and everything else is secondary... if that still doesn't fit YOUR punk rock ideal, then you can proudly claim to be morally above listening to the Misfits. But that doesn't make the new fits sellouts. As I see it, the biggest danger in signing with Geffen is that they might get stuck with some slick producer who'll overproduce the songs. I love the complete lack of professional-sounding production on the older stuff. But on Walk Among Us, some of the vocal tracks sound really overly-effected and crappy. No good! Viva lo-fi production!

I was at Ozzfest Sept. 14, & Sepultura (including Max) was there.He mentioned the death, but they were all there. I believe that they are going to finish the tour. One quick question, Maybe Mark can answer this..... Does anyone know if the Misfits allow videos to be taken at their shows? There are many to be had, but I don't know if there is any official policy, or if maybe a fiend or two has been sneaky enough to get away w/it.

Since Doug has been kind enough to let us be privy to some of his inside knowledge, I thought I'd share a few things I learned from reading an interview with Glenn in a little-known fanzine (is that redundant?) called "Evildevilblackacideviliveandcooties." 1) Glenn's real name is not "Glenn Anzalone;" it's actually Logan. 2) Glenn went by the nickname "Skipper" in high school, where he was an active member of the Quiz Bowl team and was Ski Club president. 3) The first band Glenn was involved with, contrary to popular belief, was not the Misfits. It was Earth, Wind, and Fire. Glenn reveals in the interview that "EW&F was just one small step in the metamorphosis that eventually led to the ultimate evil I have now become. I found that that band combined pagan symbolism, three of the four humours, and ritualistic concert-events in a way that broke new ground. It also helped me learn to shake my evil booty like never before." 4) Verotik comics will soon be launching a new title: "Sam Hain and Deputy Dog," which deals with the chance meeting and unlikely pairing of ultimate evil with a bland and rather stupid cartoon character. Eventually the two team up to fight great Cthulhu, who shockingly reveals, in the course of the story, that he is actually Glenn's father. 5) When questioned about why he will not sign the Misfits Boxed CD set, Glenn hinted that he resents that the coffin is "actual sized." When the interviewer pointed out that it was not actual sized, Glenn proceeded to open the coffin, and bitterly got in. 6) Enthusiastic about his future in cinema, Glenn offered the interviewer some info concerning his first full length movie role: Glenn will be playing "Tattoo," in FANTASY ISLAND: THE MOVIE. 7) Glenn's favorite character on Gilligan's Island is Mrs. Howell. 8) His favorite movie is "The Birdcage." 9) His favorite flavor of ice-cream is "Blackberryacidevil." 10) His ultimate ambition is to become a charter member of the 700 Club, which is his all-time favorite show, right after "Green Acres" and "Facts of Life." SHHH! All this stuff is BIG-TIME hush-hush! If you tell anyone, you may be afflicted with the curse of Pretentious Evil... So, BEWARE!

All of these bands seem to be just as >enduring as the Misfits, what's more, people don't remember them for >big labels, or making lots of money (which most never really did >they're remembered for making great music. I've been thinking about this subject for a month now, and I have really decided that since most GOOD punk bands of the original era WERE on major labels, and that being a time where labels DID manipulate their artists, and they had no freedom whatsoever, that things really have been changed. Punk is no more commercial now than it was in '77. The Ramones have been on major labels (Sire and Radioactive) for TWENTY YEARS, and did they sell out? No. I happen to like their early 80's pop punk, by the way, so don't say they sold out then... Also, The Clash on CBS of all labels! The Clash changed their sound not because of label harrassment, but because they wanted to. Someone said we "lost the Sex Pistols". I hate to tell you, but the Sex Pistols were formed by Malcolm McLaren in '76 as an attempt at becoming a billionaire. Last I heard, Sex Pistols have grossed nearly $300 million in 20 years from merchandising, sales, and trademark. So, even though they are one of the greatest bands of all time, they were never in punk because of our status quo and politics. Also, I think Malcolm hit it right on the nose when he summed up punk rock: "They were just kids who liked to dress up...mess up." >I saw an evilive poster on the wall in a kids in the hall >sketch. It was the poster with the 3 coffins on it. Hmmm...sounds like they are using the same prop room as Saved By the Bell! Why do TV studios have the Evilive poster and I don't?

I have noticed an increase of Glenn bashing, and even Misfits bashing in the news lately, I think that is kind of fucked, I know every one is entitled to their own opinion, just like I am giving mine as I type this to you tonight. I believe there are other things to express grievences (sic) about, we all have our personal reasons why we enjoy this band from New Jersey and all it's spinoffs, side projects, paticular members, etc... I have been fortunate enough to meet Glenn, Jerry, Doyle, Dr.Chud, Graves, and Eerie, John C., and Chuck B., at various rec.signings and after actual shows. I will honestly tell you that each experience has been without any "rockstar attitudes" from the specified members I have met. They could have been jerks, hell I brought enough shit for them to sign, looking back on those events, I would not have blamed them if they were a bit irked. i do not want this posting to come off as this delusion of " we have to have unity amongst us all ", we are all from diff.places around the world, and diversity is the key of life.

I cant think of any other band that has a fan email digest where members of the band from the past and present frequently read and post. Come on, people, do we really want them to think we are a bunch of whining idiots that aren't satisfied with anything they do? If the Misfits decided not to sign with a major label, there would be a bunch of you complaining that you live in small towns and can never find any misfits stuff. So be happy with what we have, cherish it, respect it and think about the company we keep on here. One more thing, the bible is getting it's very own official tee shirt. Do we want it to be a symbol of pride and fan dedication, or do we want it to be a distant early warning system to tell the band and others to get the hell away from the oncoming idiots!

This is my first posting, but I've been on the bible for about a year or so. I feel obligated to write because of all the Lovecraft business going on and I figured that everyone was throwing in their opinions (both good and bad) about the Geffen deal, so why shouldn't I? Anyway, to the person who posted last issue about the movie based on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, the movie was called 'The Resurrected,' and I agree that it was pretty good. (I disagree on 'Necronomicon,' however. Yuk!) I'm a huge Lovecraft fan (I've got Cthulhu tattooed on my leg, damnit!) and I just wanted to say something else about Lovecraftian songs: has anyone mentioned 'The Horror of Yig' by Gwar on Scumdogs of The Universe yet? And also, for a band who deals almost exclusively w/ Lovecraft, check out the canadian band The Darkest of The Hillside Thickets. They play poppy-punky-surfy-rocky-weird stuff, and I recommend them to the utmost degree. Check them out on the WWW, they have a really cool (although not-too-frequently updated) web page. Hey, if anyone wants to talk Lovecraft, e-mail me! Ok, now Geffen. I take certain aspects of the whole punk thing seriously, because I feel that w/o it's intervention a few years ago, I would not be in the best of shape at the present. Punk, at least to me, is about knowing what's bullshit and what's not. I know other people have definitions, and I completely respect that. Punk is alot of different things to alot of different people. Now, for major labels, I'm not completely against them. I don't know Jerry & Co., and I don't know the reasons why they signed. But for the time being, I'm behind them. I'm a really big fan of Less Than Jake, who recently signed to Capitol. I got a chance to talk to Roger, their bass player, and he said that the deal was a very cool one: a one-record deal, ultra-light rotation, and the right to independently put out 7"s and tour at small places. For a major label band to play the basement of a church, I think that's very cool. So what I'm trying to say is the Misfits on Geffen--I apprehensively accept that, and I'm still behind them. But we'll see from there. If they suddenly show up on the MTV Music Awards, start playing huge arenas, and start changing their music to suit the growing punk trends, then I might step back with a tear in my eye. But, as I said, time will tell. In the meantime, I'm pissing myself thinking about the show at the Troc on Halloween. I cannot fucking wait! Hey, any fiends out there, lemme know who you are! Send me some e-mail! Even the sXe guy (I'm clean, I just don't call myself sXe...) One last thing, can anyone confirm that the Troc's closing down for good? I've heard they're getting new owners, they're just rennovating, and that they're going to turn it into a hip-hop club. If any of these are for real, please tell me! Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

He will sign anything but bootlegs and the Misfits box set(I have no idea why???) He said the Samhain box set will be out very soon and he just got done filming Prophecy II with him and Christopher Walken. Glenn is a very cool person to talk to so no matter what anybody says Danzig kicks ass. P.s.

Subject: Next stop, Samhain... Hello to all fiends in bibleland... I hope that most of you know that the real Samhain is tomorrow (10/26/96) very important day when the veil is thinnest between this world and the next. It is the time when the recently deceased can pass back into our world. What a lot of people don't know is that the day changes from year to year, depending on which day the first fullmoon of scorpio falls. So yes, you guys actually got a semi history lesson. If you want to know more, some books will go into detail of what you are supposed to eat, leave out as an offering to those souls that have come back for the one night, and what types of rituals need to be performed. Now to our questions for today: 1) Which movie used the gimmick Illusion-O and who was the who was the director? (2 extra points if you can name the famous actress in the movie and what movie she was really known for) 2) This movie is based on a real life witch hunter, made in England it has one title yet the United States used another title for the movie, what was the movie and who was the main actor? 3) There is a Satin movie that has some famous non horror actors, and to boot the movie title is part of the lyrics from another Misfits WAU song. What is the movie and name two of the famed non horror actors? 4) Well Stephen King was not the first to write about possesed machines, who wrote and what was the name of this book about possesed heavy equipment. (2 extra points if you can name the year the book came out and the year the made for TV movie came out.)? 5) One of the Samhain songs is also a horror movie, name the movie, its famous director and what the gimmick was for the movie goers? to Greg, that second post you wrote on bible 247 was just classic. plus i loved how you did a double think about flaming yourself!!! As for the Undertaker, i was told that we can't get any major info at the moment or talk to the main one since he is on vacation. But the deal is there are two, one does the tv stuff, the both travels on fight tours, and do signings. the character had gotten so popular that they needed two guys to play the part. actually that is funny that we are talking about pro wrestling, it seems that Glenn likes or liked it at one point since he was sporting a Jake "the Snake" Roberts t-shirt. Well i hope everyone has a great Samhain and you know the deal, if you are playing the game all answers must be in on Sunday at 10pm, ( tes777@bridge.net ). Later to all the fiendies!?!

On Friday I attended the Hampshire Halloween Misfits tribute night in Amherst, MA with several of my friends. The event featured 11 Misfits songs performed by 13 different musicians from a number of bands. It was a very interesting experience, organized by Stephen Gardner (former bassist of Lorelei). Stephen played guitar, bass, drums, and sung on various songs. We drove a total of 1100 miles from Charlottesville, VA to Amherst and back, and I had the chance to re-visit a bunch of record stores: Washington, DC: Smash Baltimore, MD: Reptilian Records ??, NJ: Sound on Sound New York, NY: Bleecker Bob's New York, NY: Generation Records Danbury, CT: Trash Northampton, MA: Main Street Records Most of these stores are well-known for their selection of punk/hardcore/etc records, both new and used. I had been to all but one before, but never had I been able to compare all of them at once so easily. If you EVER need ANYTHING, call Trash. It is by far the greatest record store I've ever been to with the widest selection and the most first pressings of 7"/12" stuff I've ever seen. Bleecker Bob's also has a great selection of stuff, BUT their stuff is overpriced by about 600%... and I'm not kidding. If you want to be ripped off, go there. Sound on Sound had a really limited selection and wasn't that interesting. Reptilian Records had perhaps the lowest prices and a pretty good selection of used stuff, but there wasn't much really hard to find stuff. Smash pretty much only deals with new stuff and has never been that great. Main Street Records was very overpriced - the only reason to go there is to see their mint condition Walk Among Us poster from '82.

DANZING IS NOT PUNK. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Oct 1996 17:33:29 -0400 (EDT) From: Brett Fama Subject: review of DANZIG 5 BLACKACIDEVIL got a copy of the full album on Tuesday, but essay and midterms prevented me from posting a review until now. I've still only had the chance to listen to it in its entirety two or three times, so these are only early impressions will which probably change... if you don't care about Danzig, what I think of the new album, or if you just don't like long messages, use your space bar. But if you haven't heard it yet and want a preview of the "new" sound, then "take the hand, enter the world; just remember you will surely die..." 1. 7TH HOUSE: like I said before, "Brand New God" + Samhain + distorted vocals (actually after listening to it 100 times, I don't really notice the distortions much anymore and his voice is more discernable). This is a great Danzig song, easily a candidate for my all-time favourites. 9.9/10 2. BLACKACIDEVIL: this is weirdest song Glenn has ever done. It may take a bit of getting used to, but it has been in my head a lot since hearing it. I like it, but make no mistake, this is *different* 8/10 3. SEE ALL YOU WERE: the first time I heard it, I hated it; the second time, I disliked it; the third time, I disliked it less. It may grow on me, but for now it's Glenn's worst song ever. The vocals are *buried* so much that you can hardly hear any singing, although what can be heard reminds me of Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan." The drums and guitar remind me of Alice in Chains (obviously Jerry Cantrell had something to do with that. AIC is a band I like, but I don't think this sound fits with Danzig. We'll see... 4/10 4. SACRIFICE: great song. the best song on the album. As good as any of the all-time great Danzig songs, without doubt. Great song. I can't get enough of this song. I listen to it 15 times a day, and still want more. I will listen to it as soon as I finish typing this. Did I mention that this is a great song? 20/10 5. HINT OF HER BLOOD: cool song, not the album's best, although this sounds more like traditional Danzig than any of the others. 8.5/10 6. SERPENTIA: Danzig's newest sex song. weird, but very cool. I think Glenn listened to "Sadistikal" , "Human Pony Girl" , and maybe the Doors' "Crawling King Snake" while he was writing this. The only thing I dislike about it is some of the "ohhs" than repeat throughout. There are two distinct moans, one sounds like the background of "Archangel" , but the other sounds like a woman during...you know. It reminds me of 2 Live Crew or something. 7.5 or 8/10 7. COME TO SILVER: mixing of "I'm the One" style country/blues with industrial noises added in. Actually, people who like guitar solos might like this, as it features pretty much the only ones on the whole album. 7.5 /10 8. HAND OF DOOM: VERSION: I like this a lot more than I originally did, but it's still not too much better than "average." 7/10 9. POWER OF DARKNESS: didn't much like this when I first heard it, but it's **slowly** growing on me. It *really* reminds me of something, but I don't know what. I still don't much like this song though; I don't think it sounds like Danzig much at all. 4.5/10 10. ASHES: amazing. Anyone who thinks Glenn cannot sing has not heard this song, or is an imbecile. The vocals are possibly some of his best ever. The song is sort of a "slow dance song" with really evil piano keys droning in. 9.9/10 All of the songs feature some sort of distortions on the vocals, except "Ashes" and "Hint of Her Blood", and various parts of other songs. ("Sacrifice" doesn't have all that much in the chorus though, and there is none on the other verses). However, if you are somewhat worried about stuff like this, all I can say is that on most songs, you can pick out Glenn's voice very easily after a few listenings, and gradually do not even notice the noises anymore. Many people won't like the album, but if you really like Danzig and maybe a little Samhain, and have a bit of an open mind, you will probably not be disappointed. overall rating: 7.7 - 8 /10 -B ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Oct 1996 13:05:46 -0500 (EST) From: The Blue Faced Baby Subject: blanks 77 not playing i just got tickets to a blanks show in cleveland for november 2nd. so it is possible that they wont be playing...actually it is probably true. they are playing a record store show. ap13 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Oct 96 12:56 EST From: Jcrunch@po.fast.net (Johnny Crunch) Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #248 Subject: Lovecraft >D.ETH made a good point about the Samhain song "He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named." >I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it before (well, maybe, I don't >know), but yeah, I'd bet that that song is about >He-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Named (Hastur, a Lovecraft character).

Hey Bobby, is The Undead or Times Square coming to Toronto any time soon? Have you been in Toronto before? To all those who got the Lovecraft Movie List I sent out, I've got a few more to add to it: Evil Dead (1983) Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987) Army Of Darkness (1993) I don't know why I missed these three. They don't speak directly of Lovecraft or Cthulhu, but they all revolve around the Necronomicon so I guess they count. You decide. I also have to make a correction. It's "The Shuttered ROOM" (1967), not "The Shuttered House." I was thinking of the HPL story "The Shunned House" and, well, I'm sure you can see why I fucked up. Any one who wants the complete, updated and corrected list, or if you have something to add to it, please email me personally. >Study your Druidic religion.

I never said it was Cthulhu himself (by the way if these guys should not be named then...why are they?).

Patricia's gone from PRH to Nearwidow to Denmom in an attempt to avoid stalkers with limited success. Jim's stuck with being the inimitable Crimson Ghost and spoken his mind over and over again with all the vitriol that you deserve ( and crave, I believe). In disgust with the tiny minds blithering about here we went away and got lives. Unfortunately much of our interest continues here at the Misfits Bible so I guess we're all stuck with each other. so, we're back, and we're bad, we're black and we're glad! To those that choose to mock CG for posting *again* after saying he will not, oh well... Jerry said the Misfits(tm) will be more historically important than the Ramones, Nobody seems to pick on him for it. In recent news...Escaping the jaws of an uneventful marriage CG *finally* met up with Markus of Kennedy, after two and a half years it was due, continuing southward CG finally settled in FLorida, 2 miles from Ms. Patricia, how bout that, coincidental? You be the judge. We had the pleasure of a visit from EVB a few weeks ago, we both enjoyed the fuck out of her company. As a matter of fact there's a great picture of CG using Elizabeth's hair as his very own Devilock.

It's about the Nike missile. pretty plain and simple. >indirectly related to the goddess of victory cause that's what the >missile was named after. We were confused by the quoting of the above so we're not quite sure who said what but... We would have to say that the missile imagery is obvious but does anyone recognize the phallic implications? Could this be Glenn's 'My ding-a-ling?'. Seriously, I (cg) kinda think he's either singing about his cock or possibly ejaculation in general? ("It's a missile boy","there I go and it's over?") You people on here are the ones that are always placing Glenn on that pedestal , you know the one up there with Christ..

Self fullfilling prophecy.. Burn those bridges Glenn. Is this the thanks that Rick Rubin gets? The person that went out a limb for Danzig, time and time again, when no one would have anything to do with Glenn Rick Rubin was there. Rick Rubin promoted the fuck out of Glenn Danzig, not to turn a buck, but because Rick believed in Glenn. Just like Rick believed in the Beastie Boys, who, fortunately, did not not bite the hand that was paying their rent. As EVB & Patricia will attest to, Glenn has had countless oppurtunities to advance himself *and* his band, he has, continually, spit, pissed or otherwise blown it, this is a prime example, Who in their right mind would decline a contract with a major label to go for an unheard of indi?

The GIBSON MARAUDER was stolen after an UNDEAD show in 1981, but I still have all the rest. I also still have the FENDER JAZZ BASS that I loaned to Jerry whenever they recorded after I left the band. >From: "D.ETH" >Subject: Bobby, Cthulhu, and a whole mess o' stuff! > Hey Bobby, is The Undead or Times Square coming to Toronto any >time soon? Have you been in Toronto before? Not too soon. We don't go north once it gets cold. Crossing the border is a major hassle - which is the main reason THE UNDEAD hasn't done it. You have to pay about $100.00 per man to get work permits and then they usually want you to put some kind of deposit down on your equipment - so you don't sell it there. The only practical way to do it is to have the promoter provide all the equipment and pay for the permits - or give the band a shitload of money to cover the expenses. I've never been to Toronto, but TIMES SQUARE tried to sneak in to Montreal a few weeks ago, and our drummer got stopped at the airport and sent back home. We pulled off the set with the drummer from JINX, but it was an abbreviated set. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 14:15:07 -0500 From: ???

DANZING IS NOT PUNK. I haven't posted here for a long time, but I just wanted to point out that posts like this annoy the hell out of me. 1.) It's spelled Danzig. 2.) The Misfits Bible is for talking about the Misfits and all related bands. Danzig is a related band because Glenn was once the vocalist for the Misfits. There are those that say that since he now is no longer the vocalist for the Misfits, he no longer has anything to do with the Misfits. Well, I can still hear his voice on all my Misfits CDs....I think that alone makes him relevant to the Misfits Bible. And if you still disagree with that, we could always bring up the fact that Bobby Steele is on here. Using the same "he is no longer part of the Misfits" logic, one would say that we shouldn't be talking about the Undead or Times Square either. Speaking of the Undead, I still have to order that CD. I guess by the time that everyone reads this, I'll be listening to the new Danzig album. I doubt that it'll replace my two current favorite albums: My Dying Bride's _Like Gods of the Sun_ and Apocalyptica's _Apocalyptica Plays Metallica By Four Cellos_. Oh dear, I think I just said something irrelevant to the Misfits Bible... That is all.

Other than writing 99.95 % of all the songs on there, did he have nothing to do with its release? Just curious... I am a big Danzig fan, and I can see why he wouldnt sign bootlegs, but why would he be this way with the Box Set? Is he just being a baby about something? Someone please enlighten me. To those of you who asked (i forget who did). I did go the the 15th Anniv ADrenalin OD show and video and audio taped it. I had the levels on my DAT set too high as I was too busy filming to notice.

He was some high priest of yet another character (Shub-Niggurath). Anyway, Yog-Sothoth has some odd forms, including a "black amorphous horror." Hastur (The Unspeakable One, He Who Is Not To Be Named) is only written about as an invisible entity. Neither is attributed to the other as being the same individual even though they share the trait of formlessness (as per the song). Oh, and there is a direct indicator of Glenn's Lovecraft influence (thanks for remembering what it was on the Beware poster), so it looks to me that it's a pretty good chance that Glenn just used his HP influence. Of course, maybe he was thinking about one and got the other, or both. Who knows? Someone go ask him. Heh heh. By the way, a good resource guide for Lovecraft stuff is Chaosium's Encyclopedia Cthulhiana (which I used to write this passage). ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 15:00:58 -0500 (EST) From: "Daniel J.

Also, a key component of Danzig's music was missing in the songwriting; I was never carried away by the song. The monotone the lyrics are delivered in really bores. On some of the songs there is no transition between verse and chorus. I am dissappointed. I would like the new sound if it would have a fast drum and some energy in the vocals. It just doesn't seem like he even tried. Oh, and Joey Castillo would like to thank his homies. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 16:12:52 -0800 From: Neil McAllister Subject: New Danzig Well, I was looking forward to a new sound from Danzig, but now that I'm sitting here listening to it I can't really say that I'm not disappointed by it. The real problem here is not that Glenn is "selling out" because he's changing the style of his music. Change is good. The problem is that he's doing something that a lot of other bands have done before, enough so that as far as I'm concerned all the things he's trying here have pretty much outlived their interest. For instance: his samples are short snippets of some sound that repeat over and over again. Most bands who use samples nowadays have noticed how boring that gets to the ear after a while, and are using a more layered approach to their sampling. The distortion on his vocals doesn't do anything to help his voice (which most agree was one of his main assets) and at best, they make him sound like a cheap imitation of someone else (like Trent Reznor or that dude from Marilyn Manson). It's plain that on some songs (most notably "Come to Silver") the "industrial" sound effects and so forth were added in the production phase, changing something that was never meant to be an industrial song into something that fits with the other tracks on the album. And I'll tell ya -- some of the other tracks on the album seem to be industrial songs because they couldn't possibly be anything else. There's no musicianship backing it up... like, the only good guitar on the album is on "Sacrifice", and quite plainly that's because that's the only song that had a real guitarist playing on it. Most of it is just noise and synth-beats. I give Glenn credit for using full-on dance beats instead of some kind of dumb slow "evil beats" though. As far as songwriting goes, I'm a little disappointed that Danzig has chosen to sing so much about sex on this album. I mean, if he really had anything to say about the subject that would be one thing. But all it's about is evil and "oh baby I'm gonna hurt you and you'll beg for it". Am I the only one who, whenever I hear a Danzig song like "Little Whip" or "Serpentia", thinks: "Short guy. Wears black. Tells everyone how evil he is. Brags about his dick a lot. Has he ever had a date?" I guess this is just a minor gripe. All in all, Glenn really comes off as trying to sound, not like a new and different Danzig, but like a guy who's trying to sound like someone else. And it's a shame, because this album would be a lot more listenable if he was actually ANY GOOD at creating the sound he's trying to emulate. But honestly, he's not. At this point in time, after only 1 1/2 listenings to the album, I really can't give it more than a 5. If you're sort of a "toss up" whether you get this or not, wait for some more reviews. In the meantime, check out the new TOOL instead.

Not even a clear picture of the band. 7th House--I thought my CD player was skipping....nope, that's how the song is. Not that bad, kind of noisy. Blackacidevil and See All You Were---Glenn has such a beautiful voice. The problem is, on the occassion you can even tell its him, its so buried you can't appreciate it. As far as SAYW, if there were no stupid noises and no effect on Glenn's voice this song would be great. Sacrifice---I don't like the noises....go figure.....but not bad. Hint of Her Blood and Serpentia---All right, I can deal with this. You can definitely tell its Glenn and the noises aren't that annoying. I don't like the female moans in Serpent, but it's decent. Come to Silver---This could be so great. This could be a great song, but what does Glenn do? Puts effects on his voice and adds those dumb noises. Hand of Doom---Ozzy Osbourne is rolling in his grave and he isn't even dead yet. Actually, this isn't that bad, but I can't get used to that stupid distortion on Glenn's voice. Power of Darkness---sigh, skip. Ashes---the song everyone's been ranting and raving about. I see why. This is a great song that proves my earlier comment about Glenn having a beautiful voice. Overall, below expectations that were already low. 3 out of 10. This will be my least listened to album by the man. If you don't have Lucifuge, go get that instead, and if you do, save your money and get a decent boot before getting this. A lot of these tunes have promise, which is why I am optimistic about the live show. As far as the Misfits live tapes sales go---I must reiiterate, please send your order with the cash. I cannot be expected to remember what you tell me you want in your e-mails. Second, I ask for courtesy. If there's something wrong with your order, please tell me in a calm and POLITE manner and I will fix it, Jon B, if the whole Misfits fan community was as polite as you I would be much happier and much more content with the world. I am only human, I make mistakes. Jon understood this and was very polite and understanding that there are some circumstances that are beyond my control. Several others, whose names need not be posted are unfortunately not as polite. If you check the page you will see it is no long 2-3 weeks, and I ask for about a month. When I have 8 orders for 2-4 tapes each come in on one day I will fall behind. That's life. Don't get me wrong, send all the orders you want, but by expecting me to e-mail everyone when their money is received, when the order is sent, and to get the order out the same day cannot and frankly will not happen.
