Some guy also came up to me and said i was being to ROUGH >in the pit and that someone was going to get hurt? WHAT THE FUCK IS Well, I think this person sounded reasonable. What IS the purpose of being rough in the pit? I don't mind people dancing a bit, and I know people will be colliding, but why try to? why run into people? why elbow people trying to watch? Shouldn't you go to a concert to hear the band? I know I do... well, at punk shows you might NOT want to hear the band. So I guess you can go on kicking arse. Mr Thomas Undermine politely asked me to engage in oral sex(no thank you), and then said this: >Just because you don't know the definition of icon or can't accept the I know what an icon is, it's just that I don't think that a punk icon is that great of a status. >fact that some people regard art as a sacred offering of some sort, >doesn't mean others can't feel differently. What?! Now punk is ART?! If I sit on the street and beat myself over the head with a salami (which, like punk, anyone can do), is that art, too? >about. I don't want to see this integrity flushed down the toilet by >posers like you. Oh... now I'm a poser. Listen buddy, I know what I like. Do you see me trying to fit into your so-called punk "lifestyle". At least I have an open enough mind to listen to other types of music, including "MTV pop crap". Get off of yourself, and YOU watch what words you use. Don't call someone something when you have no reason to say it.

Once this was a forum for some very relevant discussion regarding Mis./Sam./Dan./Und. but it has now deteriorated to the sort of newsgroup type foundationless remarks that were once unheard of here in the Bible. For almost the first time ever I agree with CG; Big Daddy Roth, Anzalone, Talus: these things were discussed many times long ago. What about new subscribers? Every Bible backissue can be read on Mark's page. Maybe after reading them, you can understand the regression that has occurred. I know that some you know what I mean. I only subscribed recently, but I've been readind the Bible via the web page since the days when everyone was talking about 4p and Metallica's summer tour. Misfits related topics were discussed back then with insight by the likes of CG and EVB and the rest ( you know who you are.) Also, I can't beleive that Danzig can be considered off the subject when entire issues go by with hardly any mention of the Misfits(excl. the moot Geffen "debate"), but plenty of talk about the definition of punk. This list has become a digital means for punks who got into punk two months ago to tell those who got into punk one month ago that they are posers. I don't mean to generalize, but this sort of punkedness/selling-out theme that has taken over is not exactly breaking new ground. Perhaps only after neo-punk popularity dies, just as its infinitely more respectable predecessor did, this list will return to its former self. Yes, the Misfits are/were considered by some to be a punk band, but that doesnt make this the punk forum any more than it is a Danzig forum. In short, the fact that most that most of the more recent subscribers are punks of some kind doesn't defeat the relevance of the original purpose of the Bible: to discuss the Misfits and related bands(with insight,not ignorance and personal attacks.) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 03:59:36 -0500 From: Poultry Subject: Why be something you're not!

I get there, sure im in a good mood....giddy i guess you could call it. I see him there, a take a few pictures...pretty damn happy. I hand him "Earth AD" gold cd, and Collection II and say: "Hi Glenn...by the way, do you remember Denmom Patricia Ragan??" (Glenn just stares) "yes, from the punk magazine" Totally godamn emotionless. Not a smile, not anything. (right now Im listening to my copy of V...the biggest piece of goddamn shit). Ok, fine. I hand him my jacket to sign, along with Collection II. He signs the jewel case of Collection II...What the fuck is that!!?? What am i gonna do with an autographed jewel case??!!?? God, i go for another question. "So Mr. Zig...whats your favorite Misfits song??" "I dont have one" "So you like him all, huh?" "Yeah, i guess" (very sarcastic smile) This hurts a bit...I look up to this guy, he could be a bit nicer. Come on, i buy all that shit. I *did* take a few pictures, and got a smile for one. I guess im just over reacting, and expected something different. Did anyone else have experiences with him at an autograph session...how did it go???

Yeah, like any of you care. : ( Anyway, to save my valuable (ha!) time, I'm going to use The Misfits Bible to my advantage so that I don't have to e-mail 30 people. To those of you who write me, please note my e-mail address is now: kward93399@aol.com OK, now before I get called a hippocrate for being on America Online after telling everyone else they were fascists, etc... they gave me 50 free hours, plus on December 1st, they have a new "Plan" (remember the last one, right? 1984) that is $19.95 for unlimited usage monthly. That's two bucks less than the local Internet Service Providers, plus I get another megabyte of storage, so I'm staying. Sorry about all that, but it'll save Bible space in the long run. That saved 2 weeks of flames. Next up, hope everyone had a great Samhain Saturday, and a ghoulish Halloween tomorrow. OK, now it's bashing time.

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. Hey, CG, don't let your head get too big, but I totally agreed with this. The Green Day thing was funny too, even if you did use a line from the Megadeth version of the song. (John Lydon sez: "I know what I want and I know how to get it." Dave Mustaine sez: "Don't know what I want but I know how to get it.") Not a flame, just know what a stickler you are for typos. "I will not post again." - see, there's a flame. ; ) >From: Mark Turnow >Now i Go to some "NEWSCHOOL" punk and find alot of fucking bullshit. >Stupid Fucks are smokin weed and shootin heroin right in fuckin front of >me. This was never a part of any punk seen i remember. Three words: "Settle down, Beavis." Drugs have always played a part in our scene, but then again maybe your town has a large sXe scene. If you're sick of drugs at shows, have fun at Garth Brooks. No wait, Skoal is a drug too. Poultry, the Danzing thing was nice. Oh, guys I haven't seen AZ's Adrenaline O.D. footage yet, but I can assure you that you will want it. AZ, I want a copy. New Years' Eve and Paul's Not Home are two of the most classic hardcore songs of all time. They're kinda related to the 'Fits, they were on the R.O.I.R. New York Thrash compilation with The Undead, and they're from "Joisey" >From: strangeways@earthlink.net >glen's real name as glen anazoly or somehting like that, well I don't >claim to know, but I do have a video of the misfits from back when Robo >was still in the band and glen is introducing all the guys in the band and he introduces himself as "Glen Whitman" ... That was a joke. His real name is Glenn Anzalone. Just call him that, and if takes more than 15 seconds for him to beat the shit out of you, then I might go ahead and believe he's Glen Whitman, >From: Steve >This has nothing to do with the Misfits. Does anyone know what happened to >"He Who Cannot Be Named" from the Dwarves? On the Sugarfix >insert it has his picture with the dates 1972-1993. How did he die? Actually, it has a bit to do with The Misfits. The Dwarves' guitarist, He Who Can Not Be Named, got his name not because he was into ancient Celtic and Druidic religions, but because he was a Samhain fan. When they opened for Mudhoney, they used to play "Who Killed Marilyn?". OK, and not to make you feel like an idiot, but they faked his death in 1993 to make the band more popular. After finding out that he was indeed still alive, Sub Pop Records dropped the band. It was all over the tabloids a few years ago. Even the Weekly World News. See, while knowing almost nothing about early 20th century horror, I do know quite a lot of useless information about punk rock. >From: Neil McAllister >"Short guy. Wears black. Tells everyone how evil he is. Brags about his >dick a lot. Has he ever had a date?" Beautiful! That's definately one of my favourites of all time on here! Brilliant!

If you've heard of em >all, yer punk as fuck (old-school style). Anyway, my point is, a band >doesn't necessarily have to be on a major label to be good. Although >many of these bands are pretty unknown, some independant bands managed >to get pretty popular (without signing to a major label). Just look >at the Descendents or the Germs. Or what about your beloved Misfits? Heard 'em? Hell I owned 7"s or LPs by all but two of those bands. Look, I'm not new to punk, don't be so beligerant. I didn't mean it that way. What I meant were "The Classic punk bands that got most people into punk rock, thus defining the reasons why a lot of the people who read this newsletter are not totally against major labels." Think about it, Did those of us who are punks get into it because of bands like Slaughter and the Dogs, Eater, Cheetah Chrome Motherfuckers, or the X-Ray Spex? No, most of us got into it through the so-called legends of punk, who were all on major labels, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, New York Dolls, Generation X. I could go on here forever. My point is, why are we still discussing major labels? The Misfits have already signed with Geffen, right? Is it doing any good for us to all sit here and discuss why they shouldn't sign with them? Kinda like discussing whether we should build bomb shelters after the button's already been pushed.

OK, maybe this question has been asked before. Maybe it hasn't. But what I wanna know is, WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DID GLENN DITCH JOHN CHRIST, CHUCK BISCUITS, AND EERIE VON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, that was a bit emotional, I apologize. I'm sure, however, my fellow Danzig enthusiasts share the same sentiments. Danzig 5 is a pretty good album. I got the first copy to hit the shelves at the music store I always buy from. Sad to say, there wasn't a big rush to get a copy. I like almost every song on the album. 7th House, Blackacidevil, and See All You Were are going to take some time for me to get used to. Hell, it doesn't even sound like Glenn on Blackacidevil, it sounds like Al Jourgenson. But oh well, Danzig is as Danzig does. It's a cool album. So farewell kiddies. I'm off to listen to it again.

During the song, Gen fucked some chick with the nose of a Halloween mask (similar to Alex's in Clockwork Orange). That's one thing I never want to see the Misfits do. It just wouldn't be as cool.

Why wont Glenn sign the box set? someone asked this, and I don't really have an answer, but when I went to a signing on south street about a month ago he would sign it. My friend handed him the insert that came in the static age cd and he said "This is a bootleg" of course it wasn't or anything. He fought with her over whether it was a bootleg or not, and after his friends or whoever they were at the desk told him that it was from the box set he just said "Well, I wouldn't know I never got a copy", and signed it. leah ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 17:20:03 -0600 From: Kirt Knutsen Subject: Bobby Steele Listen Up I heard a rumor that Bobby Steele will be playing on the new Misfits album. Any truth to this Bobby? Sure would put things right in my Misfit world. If you aren't you sure as shit should be. Mark or whoever, Where does the live version of Mommy... come from on WAU? And why is there so much London Dungeon after it ends. It seems like 5 or 6 seconds. Doesn't this seem unusual? Anyway I was just wondering what show it comes from. The sound is great. Way better than any recordings of the new Misfits. What is with the shitty sound? Bring up the vocals and the guitars. I think a second guitarist would make a fine addition. Bobby you still with me? The album will sell and the Misfits will be rich, wait and see. The song The Haunting is devistating! If this thing gets recorded right(without all that underproduced bullshit)they will sell a million copies.

When I read that post, I about fell out of my chair laughing. I havn't laughed so hard in a long time! You, my friend, are way too fed up in your little "punk-rock" immage!!! You are the exact reason why the joke about punk being a religion and having the commandments was made! There is no real definition for punk, it's what you want it to be. How bout we end this whole punk debate right there. 138 SIGHTING!!!!!! The episode of last sunday's Simpsons was 138, and Homer said the word "misfit" during the show!!!!!! WOW!!!!!! I guess that makes Matt Groening a real Misfits fan, huh? Okay, that was meant to be VERY sarcastic. Chill out with the 138 stuff. Besides, if you watched the Simpsons enough, you'd have picked up on all the STAR WARS references. Alright kiddies, who created STAR WARS? That's right, George Lucas. And what was his first film? If you said THX-1138, you were correct. READ THE WWW PAGE, you'll find out that that's where they (the Misfits) got the idea for "We Are 138." I think the "138" crap should stop there too. More crap on my mind... For all of you rippin' on Glenn, please stop! If it weren't for Glenn, we wouldn't have the Misfits, now would we? I give lot's of credit to Jerry and Manny too(as well as Bobby, Doyle, Googy, etc), but the Misfits were Glenn's idea. And he may be a real dick in person, but I couldn't judge, for I've never met the man, but he did start the Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig. SO PLEASE, GIVE THE GUY SOME CREDIT!!!!!! That's about all I have to say for now. Later Mike P.S. I thought all "REAL" punks did was sit around, bitch and complain about everything, and spend all their money on cigarettes and cheep booze. If so many of you are "REAL" punks and are so much against the system, why do you all subscribe to an on-line service? And for that matter, even have computers? Just wondering.

After danzig four it was obvious that it was time for a change, I guess that Glenn was just tired of writing songs that comprised of only " Whoooooaaaaaaa " and " Whoooaaa-Whoooaaa-Whoooaaa " And to the stupid brat that Thinks Glenns real last name is Whitman or whatever, I can tell you that I am positive That it is really: Glenn Anzalone. Get it through you thick skull!!! If anyone is selling copies of the crismon ghost original show please email me. Wes thomas I suggest that we have the bible party at my place, I live in Chicago near the Riviera if any of you know where that is.

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." - as for this quote glenn isn't selling out he is just continuing his trend, he changes his style on a regular basis, just look at the difference between the Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig they all are completely different bands but the same frontman. ------------------------------ From: KWard93399@aol.com Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 00:27:53 -0500 Subject: Guitar School, December 96 Sorry to make two long posts in the same issue, but I just bought the new issue of Guitar School, and there are two articles you may wanna read: Page 9, "Through Changes" It would seem that Glenn Danzig's world has crumbled around him. For starters, the lineup that's been the backbone of his band for so many years-guitarist John Christ, drummer Chuck Biscuits and bassist Eerie Von-is no longer affiliated with the stocky singer. Secondly, after four largely successful albums on American Recordings, Danzig has left the label and signed with Hollywood; his first release for which will be Blackacidevil, due on Halloween. Drastic changes for sure; but ones that Danzig views as purely positive. "I think the directions of the people just grew apart," says the former Misfit of his ex-bandmates. "I just wanted to go a little more experimental with the band and John particularly like Seventies guitar styles. I like it loud, I like it crazy and I like it rough. If someone doesn't pick up their guitar and smash it and break it apart and make it scream and do shit, I'm not into it." Christ's replacement is Prong ringleader Tommy Victor. Though the future of Prong remains uncertain (the band was recently dropped from Epic Records), Victor plans to continue touring with Danzig in support of Blackacidevil. Also joining the Danzig fold are drummer Joey Castillo, formerly of Sugartooth, and ex-Danzig roadie/punk veteran Lazie on bass. Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell contributes lead guitar on three Blackacidevil cuts, including the ballad, "Come to Silver," a track originally written for Johnny Cash. "Jerry's an awesome guitar player," says Danzig. Currently, Danzig is on tour with Ozzy Osbourne, a support slot he's particularly excited about. After all, the first show he ever saw was Black Sabbath. "There are very few people that would ever take Danzig out on the road," he says. "They're all too scared." - Scott Warmuth OK, it's me, Ken, again. Now maybe it's just me, but with him saying "Fuck Rick Rubin." and slagging John Christ in this article, maybe I'm right about Glenn. After all, he just gave the same reason for wanting a new guitarist that he gave when Bobby Steele was booted in '81. Actually Glenn's EXACT words then were, "He tries to play like Hendrix. I fuckin' hate Jimi Hendrix!" So, now John Christ can join the "I got fucked-over by Glenn Danzig" crowd. Next up, we have an article on the 30 All-Time Greatest Punk Rock Records. Still can't believe a corporate mag such as this would even mention CRASS, much less make "Christ-The Album" one of their top picks. Page 37, "Too Tough To Die" MISFITS-Misfits Walk Among Us (Plan 9, 1980) Fronted by Glenn Danzig, the Misfits always looked like a zombie football team-ready to crack someone's skull and eat their brains at the sound of a whistle. Misfits Walk Among Us, their first album, was a compilation of many of their early seven-inches, and the music and vocals influenced such major acts as Metallica, Slayer and every other metal/punk band out there.Lyrically, they were into old movies and scary monsters. They have now returned to the punk arena (sans Danzig), proving you just can't kill a zombie. - GT See, even Guitar School says they're a punk band. : ) Anok! ------------------------------ From: punkin Subject: protocol Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 06:36:16 +0000 Warning: not explicitly Misfits-related material! Let's talk about moshing. We all know what types of shows provoke kids to flail into each other. Generally speaking, we know where the "pit" is going to be located, usually close to the stage. For people who don't like being pounded by teenage flesh and bones, this area is usually not the best place to watch a show. At the Butthole Surfers show tonight, a man, roughly 26, was standing in the area where the kids, roughly 16, were trying to mosh. Each time a kid bumped into him, he punched them, grabbed them, and tried to pick a fight. I believe he may have spit in one kid's face. He was eventually escorted out, kicking and screaming. I've seen several post on here bitching about the pits and how you can't enjoy the show 'cause of all the kids running into each other. Point is, the music sounds just as good in the back of the crowd, away from all the brouhaha in the front. If you don't like pits, like myself, please don't provoke anger out of the kids that are already willingly beating the hell out of themselves--just move. Oh, and if you're in the pit and see someone go down, please don't trample them. It hurts. thanks punkin ------------------------------ From: Ronald Barned Subject: 5 blackacidevil Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 03:17:15 -0600 ok i've had blackacidevil 2 days now so i guess it's review time. yep, some people will hate it as i've seen a couple negative reviews already but after listening to it over & over i can say i really like it now although it did take a few listens to get used to it. i must say this is one gutsy move on glenn's part to make such a drastic change but i guess he doesn't give a crap. oh ya....is this the booklet cover that's been such a secret that he couldn't give any clues as to what it looked like, what a joke....not too much thought put into this one but i really could give a rat's ass bout the packaging. anywayz a run through the songs: 7th house: can't get enuf of the opening beat & the deep voice talking part. "girl i'm gonna make you come"? gettin a little racey for a disney record aren't we, depending on how you take that. blackacidevil: the most different sounding & untraditional danzig song i think i've heard. sounds more like trent reznor on vocals but i really like this one. See all you were: this would be a great song if only the vocals weren't so damn buried & if that squeaky noise weren't so loud (reminds me of fingernails across a blackboard) but it's still a good song & probably one of my favs on here anyway. . Sacrifice: what can i say, as someone else said i can't get enough of this song, this has become one of my all time fav danzig songs but i'll probably get burnt out on it soon enough though. Hint of her blood: nice spacey noises on this one & whatcha' know....no distorted vocals. Serpentia: lovely moans i gotta say although it is a bit overdone but it's still one of my favorites. Come to silver: another one of my favorites on here (how many favs on one record am i allowed?), i don't really even mind the distorted vocals on this one too much. nice guitar work.....sounds so un-john christ. Power of darkness: i like the music....the vocal melody if you can even call it a melody reminds me of "bringer of death"...... probably the least accessible song on the album but i've grown to like this track alot anyway. Ashes: great. my 2nd favorite song on the album. yep, glenn can sing & if you don't agree let's see you do any better jack. that's bout it.......laterz. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 10:55:32 +0100 (NFT) From: Richard Lundberg Subject: Traders-page I'm making a punk traders page.

Send me some feedback or whatever you think it is, cause if I'm way off base here, I think I'd better go see a doctor or something. Also, everyone has been so busy bitching about how Glenn's music has changed, did anyone else notice that he still writes "with" as "w/" in the lyrics?

Hey folks, it's the most wonderful time of the year! Just thought I'd say Happy Halloween to one and all! Just a question to anyone who can answer it please. I was watching "Rosemary's Baby" last night on TV (incredible flick!), and it got me thinking, what is the proper name of the band that Eerie was in? Was it Rosemary's Baby or Rosemary's Babies? I've heard both. If you know for sure, please tell me. >"Short guy. Wears black. Tells everyone how evil he >is. Brags about his dick a lot. Has he ever had a date?"

Mark, why on God's green holy EARTH did you put CG's post as a higher priority than Bobby's, a former Misfit, or any of ours for that matter? As far as I could see, all he did was flame virtually every poster on here (he missed me, but after this I'm sure he'll correct that), as well as the Misfits, AND Glenn (does this guy like anything?). It was long and completely uninformative. A direct piss in the face to the very rules he helped install. Are the creators of laws above them?

Yusko" Subject: Misfits in Baltimore This is actully my first time on the bible, but I felt the show last night(Oct.30, mischif night) was well worth mentioning. They began at around 11:30 and went on untill about 1:30a.m. They played great as usual. The only problem was, was that the club they played at lied about their capacity in order to get the Misfits to play. They told them they could hold about 250 people when in all actuality they could most likely hold alitle over a hundred. This goes without saying that it was a liiitttllle crouded. Still was a great show. Only got to see Jerry afterwards cause everybody else ran off. I'm sure they had something to do. Anyways, it rocked. P.S. Whoever keeps giving these great Danzig 5 reviews needs to relisten to the album. It's not bad for industrial, but it's not Danzig. Loose the distortions on the voice and you're on step one to getting back to the real Danzig. Later! ------------------------------ From: Misfit4798@aol.com Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 15:34:34 -0500 Subject: memory lane What's up fiends, I haven't posted for a week or so, but last night I went to the Misfits show at Memory Lane in Baltimore. It rocked aside from the fact that the stage was so damn small, and the fact that H2O opened up for the Misfits. I don't know much about H2O, but they had a huge skinhead crowd there, and that really sucked considering H2O had too stop in the middle of songs twice to break up unite/skinhead fights, and ultimately ended their set early (I sure wasn't upset about that). If anyone was at the 9:30 show in may, the misfits showed movie trailers before they went on stage, they did the same thing this time, only it was on a huge 7ft. tv screen, to the tune of halloween II. The misfits played all the usual stuff, including Bloodfeast, they played the Hunger, Blacklight, and a brand new song called "American Psycho", which was awesome. Despite our numerous screams from up front of the stage they didn't play the Haunting, or Mars Attacks. Jerry told us after the show that they didn't play them because of something about Michale's air intake during the Haunting, whatever that means. They also played "The Monster Mash" by Boris Pickett, which I thought made the show perfect. After the show I managed to go to my car and get my camera and got a few shots of my friends and I with Jerry. As we were finally leaving, I saw Michale as I peered in the window of their "Winnebago" bus, so I figured I'd get my coat and go back to the winnebago to try to talk to or get some pictures with the rest of the band, when were were approached by some guys with baseball bats asking us if we were unite's or not. We said no and left rather quickly without talking to Mike. Supposedly they were trying to settle a fight that had started in the pits of H2O. I also got the 1st issue of "SQUIRT", by Doug Evil, to any Misfits Fiend who doesn't have this issue BUY IT!!! It's really cool and has alot of info on the cartoon, the comics, and alot of other stuff. I can't wait to hear a new album by these guys, their new stuff sounds so good live, well all things in good time.

They started off by showing clips from a bunch of horror and sci-fi films. It was just awesome. There were too many white power assholes there, just like the last time the Misfits played at the troc, but it was still a great show. There's always so much energy when the Misfits play that its always a good time. The only thing that disappointed me was that the vocals were really hard to hear over everything else. I was really happy to see so many other sXe brothers there. It made up for all the racist asswipes. The new material sounded really good also. sXe Crew 1313 "1 billion animals are killed each year for experiments" "20,000 dolphins and 2 million sharks are killed each year in the North Pacific driftnets alone" "Livestock production is the #1 cause of land and water pollution in the U.S." -Live cruelty free.

In actuality, he ended up putting on a free concert right in the record store parking lot! The crowd was really small, too, and even the people in the back weren't very far from the stage. He played a few of the cuts from Blackacidevil, and what (at least) one MB subscriber suggested was true: the stuff does sound a lot better live than on the CD. "Sacrifice" was particularly good live... So I didn't get my Satanika's signed, but a free surprise concert is better than a signing any day.

Hello to all the fiends and Horror Kids... this is it, last set of questions, but before we get to that i need to take care of a couple things. First off top three at this point are, Franz with 117 points, Uncle Kirt with 108 points, and Jess with 80 points. Not bad guys, i know some of the questions can blow your mind but what is the point if they were easy. Next some questions i see about where i get my stuff, ie references. Well i have an exensive collection of books on Horror movies, i started buying or really my mother started buying me Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine since 1977, i collected several of the older issues and still buy the magazine to this day, I have several other horror magazines from the 1950's, 1960's etc, i have hundreds of filled video tapes with the movies we have been talking about, plus as i have said before i have 24 years of watching these films over and over again to know them in and out. They make doing non computer artwork seem much more easy to deal with. So i can honestly say i do know what the hell i'm talking about. As for the Zanti or Zantis(plural) Misfits, well just on the off chance that several of my books and magazines were wrong i checked around the net. It seems that MGM is rereleasing the original Outer Limits series on tape again, and on their webpage they have it spelled Zanti Misfits. I really doubt that they would make that big of a mistake on they webpage since they are trying to sell the tapes. As for any other problems with what i'm doing or saying, in the simplest of terms i really don't give a shit if you have some stupid problem with me. Basically its become a waste of time for everyone to have to read through bullshit that just does not apply to them. Though i guess everyone one need to find a way to get a big ego boost even if it mean trashing someone for no apparent reason. Now on to the questions: 1) What is the name of Dr. Phibes wife in the two movies? 2) Name the Korean equal in monsters to Godzilla? 3) What Movie had the first female Vampire and what year did it come out? 4) In history what was a Talos, in movies what movie did this first appear in?(2 extra points if you can name what Talos was made of and who and where was it given as a gift to) 5) Name the one Misfits song that starts its lyrics off with a Brain Invasion, then name four of the Brain Invading type movies, you have a lot to choose from to boot? (2 extra points for the name of the brain invading movie that refers to all of us(you know what we are or at least what we are called as Misfits fans - Hint Hint) Its been a killer game thus far and you know the deal, answers in by Sunday 10pm (tes777@bridge.net ). Winners and prizes will be announced monday. Good luck to all. Oh some cool Halloween news you know about the petition for the Universal Monster Stamps that the Misfits put into our Fiend Club packs, it seemed to pay off. Next Halloween the post office will release i think 5 or 6 different stamps. The design work is already done and they look really good. that is it for now, have a great weekend to all.

NINOSKY" Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1996 10:36:17 PST Subject: gettin' it on wif mom Smarsh was partly right. The absence of Christ, Von, and Biscuits has depleted Glenn's music of the musicianship needed to turn his good ideas into great songs. Glenn supplied the power lyrics and voice which are inimitable, but the music was the rest of those guys. Joey Castillo and Josh Lazie Smurf are merely lackeys. They are not Danzig. This is such a fucking sad situation we got here. blackacidevil sucked. We all know it, and we all try to make excuses or keep playing the damn thing as background music in an effort to force it into our heads like a bubble gum top 40 song. The first three albums were excellent themic works. 4p had some great songs, but it was more like "Danzig sings some Danzig songs" rather than an album sort of experience. When I say "album sort of experience", I am refering to works such as Final Descent, Hendrix's Axis: Bold as Love, November Coming Fire. These albums assembled the songs to provide an overall shift in feelings and mood as the album progressed rather than putting a bunch of "hit singles" together with some filler songs. I am just really disappointed that Glenn has moved away from something he was, in my opinion, the greatest at. He could have made a power industrial album, and I would have dug it. Instead, he made a piece of shit that sounds like what others have already done anyway. He could have done better. I just feel like he didn't try at all. Oh yeah, and Joey Castillo would like to thank all his homies. ------------------------------ From: Shane Othor Hall Subject: Misfits On Halloween!!

The Misfits once more showed they dedication to the fans by asking us waht we wanted to hear. Amazing, it all started with some clips of horror movies, and just got better from there. I was shocked at the number of "kids" there, but I guess you gotta start somewhere, more power to them. The police presence was pretty light, that was also amazing.

I was to meet Glenn on Friday at an instore. The warning clearly stated--NO MISFITS NO SAMHAIN ITEMS WILL BE SIGNED. I thought this was odd. So, I brought all 3 Samhain vinyls and my Collection I vinyl signed by everyone else. Only Glenn and Tommy were there. I had 14 things with me for signing. Finally I get to the table, I plop my stuff down with my left hand. The security guard outside told me Glenn was not to see the Samhain/Misfits stuff and that I shouldn't let it touch the table. So, I'm standing there, and I decided to ask Glenn is he'd sign Samhain stuff. He gave me a look like I was nuts and replied that he would. So, I place the 3 Sam stuff down with the Collection underneath it, I pull out the Collection trying to make sure Glenn didn't see it, Glenn did see it and get this----he went out of his way to say "hey man, I'll sign that!" Too cool. He signed all 14 things, but when he got to the Collection he looked at the other autographs, made a strange noise--kind of like BAH--flipped it over and signed the back. While all of this was going on, Tommy is sitting there looking through my stuff like it was the coolest stuff on earth. He acted as if he'd never seen Thrall before and seemed impressed with my Unholy Passion. The security guard and him were joking that I was "getting the stuff signed that I was taking to the grave". Tommy was all smiles, handed me a few stickers, and nodded. I get the impression he thought I was nuts because I must've told Glenn I appreciated him signing the Misfits thing a million times. One thing I noticed about Tommy was that no one was talking to him and seemed more than willing to chat with anyone who came by. I can't say I talked to him, but I don't like Prong, so I had nothing to say, really. Over all, it was a great experience. Glenn said Prophecy 2 is done, and he filmed the scenes in between tour dates, and that I should write to the address on the back of the sticker (the same in the album) for fan club info. Something strange though. Glenn seemed to have a difficult time hearing people. I noticed he did this with a bunch of others, as well as with me---someone would say something, and he'd say "What?" and lean his left ear forward and up. I have a frail and weak voice, so I went out of my way to PROJECT, and he still seemed to have a hard time hearing me. He wasn't a dick about it, or anything....very cool. I was very impressed with his politeness to the fans--although he didn't smile once (that was Tommy's job, I guess)--but still it was great. Anyone who thinks Glenn is a dick that does nothing for his fans needs to think twice.

The Troc show on Halloween was incredible. They came out with Star Trek outfits on and opened with...you guessed it Halloween.(as if everyone didn't already know.) They played all the old favorites. Out of the new stuff they played The Hunger, Blacklight, The Haunting and a new one called American Psycho. It sounded pretty good and made me that much more anxious to hear the new album. Also after seeing the Misfits 4 times I finally got to see the movie clips with Halloween 2 in the background at the beginning of the show. Anyway just a great crowd, with stage diving from the opening song all the way to the end, and a tight show. I would say the best sounding I have heard so far. I hope you were all there. ...Marino ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Nov 1996 00:41:42 -0500 (EST) From: Stephen Gorny Subject: Baltimore: October 30 Well - the Misfits came to Memory Lane (more of a bar than a club) in Baltimore the other night. It was a great show, better than their Hammerjacks show a few months back. Right before the band came on, they showed clips of Bride of Frankenstein while an extended mix of Halloween II played over the PA. Then the band hit the stage - Michale had his face painted up in a black and white skull design (which lasted all of 20 minutes before he wiped it off). Alot of the old Misfits classics and a new tune (which, according to Jerry, was the first time they ever played it live) called American Psycho. They also played that kooky old song "Monster Mash" at one point when they stopped to fix a kick pedal on the drum kit. Definately the best of the Resurrection shows I've been to. However - the night was kind of spoiled by the people who run Memory Lane. First off - this is a tiny place with a capacity of 120 people (that's what the sign on the wall says). There were at least twice that many people there. I mean - it was cool to be that up close and personal, the stage is tiny and only about 3 feet high so lots of people were just climbing up and diving back out, but it was just way too many people there for a club that size. Second - no security whatsoever. Yeah - sometimes they can be goons, but most of the guys who work security in the Baltimore clubs are pretty cool. And you don't usually need em here cuz they generally get 100 people or less when most bands come in - but a few could have been cool simply cuz of all the fights breaking out during the opening acts (especially H20) - luckily, enough people there had a head on their shoulders to try and calm the people down Finally (my biggest beef) - I don't know how it is where a lot of you guys live, but around here, most clubs that get shows where they know there will be a pit don't let people in with big spikes on their jackets or armbands, Memory Lane didn't give a shit and let anyone in with anything. Now, maybe its just me getting old, but that just was really ignorant. I like being in the pits at shows, and I'll be the first one to say, if you don't want to get roughed up a bit or get slammed around - DON'T STAND DOWN FRONT. But by the third song I had gotten walloped in the head by some asshole with an arms length bracer full of spikes (my head stopped bleeeding after about 15 minutes). And when I backed up you could see spiked armbands all over the place. I also several other people who looked like they got puncture wounds at some point. I just thought the club should have made those people take that shit off - especially with that kind of a crowd there (double capacity). ANyways - enough rambling - it was a killer show aside from the head wounds. ============================================================================ Stephen Gorny : Does your school or place of employment mandate Department of Psychology : the use of 'Politically Correct' speech and UMBC : threaten to punish those who do not comply? 5401 Wilkens Avenue : If so, then they are violating your First Baltimore, MD 21228-5398 : Amendment rights to freedom of speech.

Still a great song tho, hope a good portion of the new album have the classic WAU feel. >If this thing gets recorded right(without all that >underproduced bullshit)they will sell a million copies. Later Uncle Ummmm, sure us fiends will buy a copy, long time Misfits fans, people just getting into them theyll all buy copies. But theyll never break into the main mainstream. ---- About Moshing: You cant slag people for having a good time...its just a few kids jumping around. The entire floor of a show doesnt do it, just up front. If you dont like it, stand near the back. Now...NYHC is a different story. Last night i attended Type O Negative/Life of Agony/Manhole (who suck dick). Totally forgeting all the harcore assholes would be there, i hung up front. A few seconds after LOA came on, i found myself in a circle of assholes trying to avoid more than a few flailing arms. No, i wasnt struck...but pretty damn close. Well, after Life they all left. Typo rocked. Im going to sleep now. dave ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Nov 1996 14:05:17 -0400 (EDT) From: "D.ETH" Subject: Oxford American Dictionary's definition of punk PUNK (pungk) n.

It is a claw (from so kind of bird.Maybe a crow or raven or something) on a leather rope and it has a tag that says DANZIG and it has the Danzig skull and then it says HALLOWEEN 1995. I have no clue how many were given out or what. If you know anything about it let me know. justin ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Nov 1996 18:00:24 EST From: "Whittle, Patrick R." Subject: poughkeepsie show here's my review of all the bands. ninetynine cents- openning bands don't usually get people moving like these guys did. i picked up the 7", too. they are a local band here; kind FATish punk rock with a touch of ska i guess. wish they'd gotten more than 30 mins. brown tongue- i was afraid i'd have to see this band again. they blow ass. the only good punk band in the history of the world with a harm- onica player was the dead milkmen. but these guys weren't really punk tho, so that's okay. they mooned the audience and nearly got booed off the stage. sardonica- better than last time around. more catchy for some reason, but still hard edged. i don't know what kinda music this is, but they're not half bad. CHUD doesn't appear to be their drummer anymore. H20- NYHC up the ASS!! see these guys on their own sometime. people moshed harder to them than to the 'fits. you gotta have balls to wear a Tu-Pac shirt on stage and be the only sXe guy in the band (that would be there singer). my friends look out for me like family... MISFITS- i just realized i think i messed up that H20 line. oh well. the boys sounded really metally this time, but they were fired up and i think everyone was impressed. some of the songs (but not most) actually sound better with the harder sound. i met jerry after the show and he really is a nice guy. doyle and mike were pissed tho (isn't doyle always pissed). mike told us the moshing was really sad for a punk show. but the horror movie trailers at the beginning were cool. did they have to re-record halloween II for that? anyways...i'm still glad the 'fits are back together, and i look forward to the new CD even tho it's on (bleah!) geffen. maybe mike graves will be the next kurt cobain. i can see him and courtney love together.... patrick the poughkeepsie fiend "this isn't really death this isn't really life, this isn't really anything i think i like" ps- they didn't play braineaters again!! are they saying Oi! or just yelling inarticulately? pps- hey mike and george! (you be good too) pps- i signed up for the fiend club mailing list. should i expect to get anything from them, ever? i'm not holding my breath. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Nov 96 16:18:16 MST From: "Cadet Kyle J. Pumroy, x4534" Subject: thought on blackacidevil Hi, I heard Sacrifice on the radio last night on BPI from Denver. I immediately told my friends in the car that this was the new Danzig. None of them knew any songs other than Mother. My friend in the back goes "This is Danzig? No way". At the end of the song the DJ goes "No that wasn't the new Nine Inch Nails, that was actually new Danzig." I think that really sums it up. I think if the exact album was put out by White zombie or NIN, people who like that music (like myself) would think it was a great album. I think though that most of us expect something different, maybe at a higher level than what Glenn produced. Especially when the beauty of Glenn's music has always centered around his voice, and he goes and burries it. I do like Blackacidevel, but regardless of what type of music it is, Glenn shouldn't ignore and hide his talent like he does. At least he doesn't distort his voice on all songs. one other thing, did Earth AD CD come out last week? The music stores here didn't have it that I went to, which is strange if it did come out. Just wondering if anyone saw it. thanks kyle ps my friends didn't especially like Sacrifice, so I wonder now if it will get that much airplay or not. we'll wait and see. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Nov 1996 18:59:15 PST Subject: I'm back..miss me? From: Scott R Tiemeyer Hello all my Fiend brothers, I'm back...I had e-mail problems, and I was away for a while. Anyway, got some news to share. Glen was here on Saturday signing stuff, so I went and bought the new album (to seem nice) and I brought my Collection I, II, and Walk Among Us. He refused to sing any of my misfits stuff, he signed the goddamn cd book to blackacidevil...oh boy! Anyway it was still danzig, but I DID get a picture with him. The new album is cool (if you like indrustial). it's not Danzig though. I wonder what brought on the change. Well if someone could be kind enough to inform me of what I missed...anything big, besides the Geffen thing... Strength Always Scott ------------------------------ From: WASMUNT3857@uni.edu Date: Sun, 03 Nov 1996 19:31:51 -0600 (CST) Subject: John,Eerie,Chuck About John and Eerie I read in a guitar magazine awhile ago that they weren't fired they both quit the same day. I'm not sure but I think Chuck was fired, I read that a long time ago. Also the reason Glenn might not want to discuss the Misfits is maybe he doesn't want to live in the past, I don't know just a thought. Also I have to agree that Danzig is relavent the the MB he made the Misfits what they are, if I hadn't have gotten into Danzig first I probably wouldn't have checked the Misfits. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Nov 1996 20:45:01 -0500 From: jaid Subject: AOL and IRC Anyone know how to get on the undernet from AOL? ------------------------------ From: mf252888@oak.cats.ohiou.edu Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 00:03:10 -0500 (EST) Subject: halloween and other ab-normal stuff As I was speeding down the PA turnpike, setting my radio to scan and realizing that I know too many one hit wonders from the 70s and 80s, I was contemplating the meaning of the Great Pumpkin and other such mysteries of life. Yes I made the trip to Philly to see the fits on Halloween, and yes I saw them. But perhaps that is a misleading statement. I missed the show, but I actually "saw" the fits... I arrived at 11:30 and the gig was over. I met my usual partners in crime, Jaid and Bricks 9the nicest person I know), and two new arrivals Chris and Dave (hey wow real names...) and we hung out while everyone was loading up. They told me what a great show I missed and Jerry later told me about it and showed me his snazzy star trek uniform. BTW it was red. I hope they meant to be the Next Generation series cause i might be wrong, but wasn't it the rule that the guys in red in the original episodes were always the first to get zapped? I guess there was a guy with a T-shirt of Rocky on it...I guess it was a rough crowd...I guess Jimmy (Sticky) the Tank is alive in someone's memory...and I'm also aware of what a lemming is once and for all. I am one. I was peer pressured into going to the Poughkipsee (forgive my spelling??) NY show the next day. OK OK so I was broken for the sake of the unit allright? But I just couldn't not go...... Other interesting sights in Chinatown Philly: the bullet hole in our suite window...damn if i could find where the bullet went... On to NY....we got there and the Chance is in a *war zone*, but the place itself was really cool. The balcony was open too. We got there and found out that there were 4 opening bands: Sardonica (great set), H2O (lotsa basketball jerseys, but pretty OK), and Brown Tongue (two singers: one black suit, played harmonica and too cool to move...the other very rollins-esque), and someone else. Jaid, Bricks and I decided that for one show we were gonna stay up in the balcony and watch the whole picture..ummm Jaid I lasted 3 songs. I'm weak. Weak I tell ya! The crowd was tame, we got to the front easier than I expected. they played a lot of new material, and it sounded great! American Psycho included there. At one point we are screaming NIKE NIKE and Michale (donning the skull make-up) looks directly at us and turns to Jerry and says NIKE..to which Jerry said: American Nightmare 1234! They did play it right before the end of the set though :) Oh and Glenn has been replaced as "God's Littlest Misfit" (don't get pissy the god reference is sarcasm) by this kid who had the skeleton gloves, the devilock, and the total image down, who got up on stage and sung Attitude. He was great! We all cheered for him, he was probably around 10?? Also met some cool people, they know who they are, and freaked Jerry out with a skull pez dispenser. Special thanks to Rocky from the one he calls "normal girl".... And we are still wondering what that thing on Chud's jacket was in a former life... More peer pressure was applied to go to the following night's show in NJ, but a 20 page paper kept me from going. Although it was a gracious offer by certain people to divide and write a few pages to help out :) (Ummm it's still not done...) I am forgetting much, but it was a great evening as usual and I always have fun at the shows. I am excited to hear when the new stuff will be coming out cause it sounds great live! later!! nike "Get off my lawn!" or "I am an individual dammit!" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 11:16:58 +0100 (NFT) From: Richard Lundberg Subject: Traders-page Hi again.

I was psyched, no pat down at the door means DAT deck got inside and I did record the gig. Unfortunatly, the MIC I am using is not that great (i am looking for better stealth mics) so the recording is typical of a misfits boot. I am offering it to Chris (christoter@aol.com) only as it seems that he does a good job distributing all that stuff so please do not email me for trades. If Chris doesnt want it, then I will trade with others. The misfits kicked ass and it was louder than fuck (prob why the recording was bad). They went through the usual slew of tunes and they did Angelfuck which was cool. New tunes were Blacklight, The Hunger, The Haunting, American Psycho, Walk Among Us, and I think maybe one other one I am forgetting. The Haunting is an excellent tune, the others, well, I'll see what they will sound like in the studio cause I havent been all that impressed but then again, @ those volumes, its tough to judge a new song. The white power contingent was there, of course, and most of it was ejected for fighting during the Sardonica set. At least the bouncers at this place had balls not like the allentown gig where all they did was break up fights and let everyone stay. Overall, a good solid show. They played the horror video clip intro which was cool, but got boring after hearing the same verses of Halloween II played in the background for 10 minutes. Complaints I have heard in the past of Doyles guitar playing are no longer relevant. He did stink back in the early 80s, but he was young and inexperienced. He now kicks ass, he hit all the solos to the tunes right on, and overall, kicked ass on all the songs. AZ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 09:47:39 -0500 From: Tarry Carapezza Subject: Roadtrip! Funny how a nice little trip to Philly can turn into a 3 day East Coast tour. We arrived at the Troc on Halloween nite just in time to catch the horror film collection that the 'Fits have been playing every now and then on their tours. For some reason, I chose this viewing to recognize that the soundtrak for the collection is an ultra-extended version of Halloween II. If you haven't seen this video collection, you wouldn't believe how long they play Halloween II. Anyway, the guys came out in Star Trek uniforms (Happy Halloween!) and played an amazing set, including one brand new song 'American Psyco'. It rocked! The part of the show that was coolest to me was when the band asked the audience what songs they should play next, they played 2 that I asked for. Micheal looked at me, I said 'Some Kinda Hate', he looked at the rest of the band, and they played it. Jerry looked at me, I said 'Nite of the Living Dead', he asked the rest of the band, and they played it. YES! One stranger aspect was that they did NOT close the show with 'Die, Die' like they usually do. Come to think of it, I don't remember what they closed with, anyone? The sound for the show was amazing. The vocals were crystal clear. This was especially evident on the newer songs. The Haunting was the best version I have ever heard. And my ears were not ringing in the slightest afterwards, even without my earplugs in. The saddest part of the show was that our friend Michelle missed the entire set. :( But after hanging out with the guys for a while, Rocky invited us to see the show the next nite in NY. So after getting a few hours sleep, we packed our stuff and headed up to New York. For that show, I did what I always said I wanted to do at a Misfits show. I just hung out in the balcony. I've seen the Misfits 8 times now. That was the first show I actually got to see Chud play. The sound for this show wasn't nearly as good as the nite before. The vocals were barely audible at times. They played 'American Psyco' again, and what I'm guessing was another new song, because I couldn't recognize it at all. That nite we stayed at the Econo Lodge. Our room #? Yup, you guessed it, 138. We were laughing our asses off. Oh yeah, the hotel was just down the street from the Hoe Bowl. I kid you not. -Bricks ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 00:48:36 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: Answers and Winners...

Obviously they were not the same person, and obviously Eerie wasn't the Misfits drummer... however, a lot of people make the mistake of assuming Eerie was in the band because he was a close friend and their photographer. In fact, Eerie began playing drums after Doyle suggested it, and Eerie did audition to be drummer of the Misfits in May of 1982. He was accepted but turned down the offer a few days later to stay with his band at the time - Rosemary's Babies.

I've heard it all before! > Glenn can only write so many dark metal songs and then he would be >recycling old stuff and calling it new. IMO, that's exactly what he's done. The only interesting songs on the CD are 7th House, Blackacidevil, and Power of Darkness. Ashes and Come to Silver would be OK in a traditional Danzig sense if they didn't have that last minute, post-production noise on them. The rest is just... boring.

I began to yell "Glenn, what's wrong with YOUR EAR?" and he said, "What? Buy you a beer?" and I could hear his girlfriend yelling at him in the background, "Switch ears, Glenny, Switch ears!" but Glenn just kept yelling at me until he finally said "Stop harrassing me Bobby!

Hell, and some of you may disagree with me, but even the Ramones changed over the years, slighlty, but they changed. Glenn must follow what is in his heart to put out what he likes. Whether it sells a million or a thousand doesnt matter, if he just lost interest in writing material like on the first 3.5 albums, then so be it. Unfortunatly, I wont buy any more of his records cause I dont like the new sound but he has to please Glenn Danzig before he pleases me, so I cant fault him for that. ---- Any fiends who went to the TROC, do they pat you down or frisk you?

First, Mark you said that you saw Glenn's high school yr book photo. I talked to this guy named MUD on the net last year and he said that he graduated with Glenn. Anyway I asked him if he still had the year book and he said yeah. As for Glenn he told me it said G Anzalone for his name and also had something about him wanting to go on to Tech School some where after High School. Is this right or was this guy putting me on? Secondly: I like the new Danzig alot. I was hoping for something a little more techno sounding but I really like the cd. I agree that it sure as hell ain't like the other albums but it does have it's own character and own feel. I totally disagree with Joseph Ninosky about how we are trying to make ourselves like Danzig 5. If we like it how are we fooling ourselves and others? I can see a difference in opinion, but I don't see how you can make such an ignorant statement. Lastly John and Eerie left on their own. I think the exact date was July 5, 1995. Anyway I don't really care if they aren't in the band anymore. I like the new lineup alot. They have more onstage energy than their predecessors. Tommy is also a better guitarist for the new material. If you read any articles on the old lineup you'd may see the other 3 member's of Danzig referred to as Glenn's henchmen. What is exactly what they were. Sure they did form together to be pretty tight in sound, but they were hardly the main attraction. I know for sure that I'll go see the Prophecy 2 before I buy some porno that John Christ did the music for.

I honestly don't see what anyone has to bitch about. It's got about as many hits 'n' misses as any other album by Danzig. If you absoulutely hate "industrial" music, I guess you are shit outta luck this time, huh? see all you were, and come to silver are my faves, for being pretty original. Notice I said "pretty" original. Not "stunningly" original. Danzig's voice and/or good lyrics make up for these two, though. I can't decide if the words to power of darkness are great, or horrible. I think Danzig had 2-ton balls to do a song like this, but my indecisiveness keeps it from getting top billing here. ashes is great, and so are sacrifice and blackacidevil. hand of doom was really good, and I've never heard the Black Sabbath version. I think Danzig's is probably better(yes, I do own an abestos helmet and codpiece, so flame away!!!), judging from the other blacksmellyhippiesabbath stuff I've endured. serpentia was good-would've been better w/out the sweaty,grindy heavypetting moans. hint of her blood was way too plodding for my taste, but I wouldn't call it bad. 7th house suffers from annoying filtering, inane lyrics, and well, it's just bad. Danzig did do the thing I knew he would, and made an album of music combining industrial, the moods and sounds of his previous Danzig material, and something new, all w/out coming off like a clone or a copycat of any current industrial musicians. That's the important thing in my book. Hopefully my guitar arrives here from the states in a couple more weeks. It's been three years since I've practiced, but this Ressurection stuff has relit those old desires to get up in front of strangers and play loud music. This is gonna be cool.

I haven't listened to those other two yet cuz all I have been listening to is Blackacidevil. I like it a lot, and for those of you who miss Glenn's voice, go listen to the hundreds of other songs he has recorded with Danzig, Samhain and the Misfits. I like industrial to begin with, but I know that a lot of the older Danzig fans will use this album as a coaster, mainly because they only liked Danzig because it was heavy metal related to Metallica. Oh well. I do think that Glenn should have changed the band name, in keeping with the tradition of his other bands, but he can do whatever the hell he wants. Great album, now I need a decent stereo to play it on. I recently took in a slew of various rock shows. I saw Rush at our new arena in town. I saw GWAR at a large club in Kalamazoo (if ANYBODY knows the name of their openeing band, I'd like to know. They were young, about 20, and wore black judges robes and skull face paint. Their drummer was great and the crowd pretty much hated the band). My ears were ringing for a few days cuz it was DAMN loud and I was 10 ft. from the speakers the whole time, and I rarely care to invest in earplugs. Then just on Friday I luckily caught The Reverend Horton Heat at Club Soda in Kalamazoo (right next to where GWAR played 2 days earlier, how convienient). This is one of my favorite bands, and even though I had to go alone (damn 18+) it was well worth it. I was the only one there not puffing a cigarette, and I was one of many sporting a leather greaser jacket. I'm not a greaser, but this is a 50's style band (psychobilly as they call it) and a lot of other peopole were. They played over 2 hours and it was a damn fine show. Catch them when they come to your area. It seems a lot of people from the bible went to the two Misfits shows right around Halloween, on the east coast of course. It seems you guys are lucky to see them often, as the midwest isn't a favorite place of the Misfits, and I was damn lucky to catch them in my hometown when I did. I hope they come around next summer.

I was told by one girl afterwards however, that glenn had refused to sign ANY Misfits material, so i asked her if she had bootlegs, but she said no (i didn't find out exactly what cd/album she had tried to get signed though). Personally, I only had some Danzig promo cds and singles with me, and as he was signing the free poster, i asked if he would sign one of my cds. He said "yeah, I'll sign them all" also, Glenn most certainly DID sign Samhain stuff... as he was signing some of my stuff he was in the midst of a conversation with Tommy and I heard something like "when we were in the studio recording 'It's Coming Down' John came in and saw me bending the guitar strings and just goes: " [at that point he looked right at me and demonstrated John's look as a sort of a smile and grimace combined] at this point I will interject a few comments made about how "John Christ can now be considered one of the victims of Glenn" (or words to that effect). In the recent Guitar School, Glenn hardly ripped on John when he said that John prefers 70s style guitar music. Glenn had said the same thing while John was in Danzig, and John almost always went out of his way to point out that his preferences weren't exactly "Danzig-style" music. The "new" Danzig sound is less a result of the former members leaving, than their leaving is a result of the new sound. Danzig 5 Blackacidevil would probably sound much the same as it does even if the former members had stuck around to record it. now back to the signing...Some of you guitar players may be interested to know that Tommy thinks "wammy bars are for faggots," and Glenn agreed. When asked if it was true that Joey and Lazie were brothers, Joey told me that they were cousins (at which point a roadie walked by and said "they're brothers" and Joey laughed). I have to mention that joey has to be one of the most approachable guys in the world. he would answer any question (BTW, he said that a full live album has been in the talks) and when complimented he was extremely sincere in his thanks and appreciation. I purposely went out of my way to shake hands with each member (which is a pain because they are all holding markers in their right hands) and every one of them smiled appreciatively at the gesture. I also talked to Tommy, and he said he wasn't sure if Prong was still "on" and he mentioned something about "rubbernecks" (i have no idea what he was talking about; i thought he said "chicks" and when i said that we started laughing and then we lost track of the previous conversation). Joey said that glenn wants to keep the current lineup... after they were done signing glenn was lookign through the cd bins in the store, and fans would occasionally stop him for photos or questions. i talked with him a little about verotik stuff, the danzig fan-club single, and also now out-of-print samhain and black aria...which he said would be out on hollywood records soon. (as well as the samhain box set) my friend held up a cd of EAD and asked if it was first press, and glenn barely looked at it and said "i don't know" (BTW, it was the new pressing...it had the new caroline logo and no plan 9 on the back) Glenn wasn't at all rude, but he was certainly preoccupied (I actually wouldn't blame him if he had been rude, as the signing was officially over and people were pestering him as he was trying to buy some cds (one of which was a prong release...interesting) as for the show... the first few songs sucked. why? maybe because i had to listen to them from outside! we had enough trouble finding Harmony House, let alone getting back to State Theatre. when we got there, "Mother" was finished and "Sacrifice" was in progress. Because of a mix-up trying to get our tickets outside at the pick-up window, by the time i got inside and settled they were half way through "Deep." In agony outside and in the lobby I heard them playing "Her Black Wings" and then "It's Coming Down." I vow that I will never be late for a Danzig concert again... the set list: MOTHER SACRIFICE HER BLACK WINGS IT'S COMING DOWN DEEP DIRTY BLACK SUMMER 7TH HOUSE HEART OF THE DEVIL TWIST OF CAIN LONG WAY BACK FROM HELL encore: HAND OF DOOM: VERSION SHE RIDES for those of you who haven't seen them on this tour or the Ozz-fest yet, Deep and especially 7th House are amazing live (i was furious that i missed Sacrifice this time) but the highlight was the unexpected inclusion of Heart of the Devil, which I haven't heard live since my first Danzig show in 1993. For those wondering, the set list was shorter than normal because the show was basically a promotion for the new album and hallowee (tickets were only $6.66). I obviously didn't see either of the two openers (local bands that Glenn told me would be there; sorry mark I can't remember their names) but who really cares about them anyway... if you don't like long posts, you were warned ahead of time; if you don't think Danzig should be in the Misfits Bible, go fuck yourself -b ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Nov 1996 13:33:48 -0800 From: RATT FINK Subject: Blackacidevil When I heard the new album, I thought it was NIN, I expected something more original.

It's of a fairly cool looking green Frankenstein and was from the show in Los Angeles in August. It doesn't have a price underneath it but the ad does have Artrock's phone number and they should be able to tell you. In the same issue is a picture of Glenn signing at, I think, the San Diego Comic Con. Anyway, people lately have been talking about Glenn and signings and I have to say that I've never had any trouble. All you have to do is ask him nicely if he'll sign something and he will. That's it. Don't be a prick and walk up with your "punker-than-Fuck" attitude and expect him to sign something for you. I'm not saying to kneel before him and bow your head in reverance, but treat him like a human being and treat him with courtesy, just as you'd like to be treated if you were on his side of the table. It's really not that hard. As for Glenn not signing Misfits or Samhain stuff, I don't know why a record store had a sign about that on their door but that's just bullshit. It's that type of stuff that starts rumors about him being a world class hard-on.

But Ill skip the non sense and get to the nitty gritty. to: adam segal- If anybody really listens to all the danzig records you'll see that each is different in it's sound. The only problem i have with D5 is the fact that Glenn's voice is distorted, i truely fell that if he was playing with the old band on songs like 7th house, blackacidevil, and power of darkness these may be some of my favorite songs. But the more I listen D5 the more I like it. By no means is it a bad CD it is just different. I mean the cool thing to me about glenn is that he has done stuff that he truely believes in and D5 is no exception. This CD is a reflection of the music Glenn happen to like right now (NIN, marilyn manson, etc etc etc). I know that this is a cool addition to my compilation tapes I make. I mean if I want the same record time and time again I will go to the ac/dc section of the store. to all who have seen the movie clips with halloween 2: Dont you ghouls think that they should use the version on the box set sessions disk of halloween 2. I mean I think that the original sounds so shitty! How 'bout you? about the continuation intro into london from mommy: Well this is one thing I always liked! And when I made my tapes I would always put london dungeon after mommy. Just like teenagers and children, horror hotle and ghouls. I just think they go good together, I have to admit I was abit miffed when I saw them and they didnt play those 2 songs (mommy +london) back to back. Although I really think that they should drop london dugeon off their set list if they are gonna drop any songs, I just think that live it doesnt go over well. I mean they should deffinetly play the haunting over london dungeon live! If you ghouls had to decide what songs should be dropped from the set list now which ones would you drop? to nike, jaid, and bricks I am sooooooo jealous of you ghouls ! I wish I could have been there for that show all the road warriors together again! It was cool seeing you r post's. It is nice to see that the maddness we had this summer is still there and all the cool stuff that we got to do didnt just stop. later D-Rod ps: the guy who can transfer the video fanzine from pal could you email me I would like to get a copy. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Nov 1996 22:49:09 -0400 (EDT) From: "D.ETH" Subject: Rosemary's ?

Subject: Neat stuff in my mailbox... Hello fiends... First off to Justin, i know this seems hard for you to accept, but i am not making this up. There are two Undertakers, they had to do it since the character became so popular. Plus at the moment the original one is on vacation. How might i know this, my sisters friend is head promoter for the WWF tours, and he and the Undertaker called her from an a show a couple of months ago. I feel as if i just told you there is no Santa. Next, Danzig stuff - I have been getting some cool Danzig stuff in my mailbox, and i am wondering if other fiends who were members of the Angels of the Seventh Dawn are getting postcards, stickers and other shit? The image they are using is the one Glenn designed of him and the Danzig skull as one. I got the sticker today, which was part of a mail back postcard thing. I guess this is some sort of tranfering from one club to the next. I'm not flaming the guy, i think his name is Kevin, but those prices are a bit high don't you think. I paid $200 on the Cough/Cool, First press Bullet $40, Nigh of the Living Dead $70, Beware $40, Three Hits first press $65, Who Killed Marilyn on purple $60, Evilive $30, the numbered $30 or $40, and the Earth AD colors i have are way more rare than the yellow and i paid $40, and trade(the multi color one) I know the yellow one goes for about $70 - 100 max, though i have always missed it when i've seen it in ads. I guess what i'm saying is your selling to other fiends who would die to have this stuff, and i don't see the point in making big bucks off of other like myself. You don't see to many people who say they like buying from those guys who would sell their soul for a buck. I also know the big shot Misfits sellers and i would have to say they must be the biggest bunch of "so full of myself" types i have ever known. Wes nice post, though what is your logic behind why female MB members are not true bible members? I think we are just as good as you even if we can all be a sick bass(the fish) like you. Though i have to say that is one of your good qualities and probably why everyone likes reading your posts. well that is enough, all the words are bluring into one at this point.

When we were in jail in London, Glenn was afraid to admit to being a Punk Rocker - because he didn't want to get 'raped'. I made it clear that I was a Punk Rocker - not a punk. No one fucked with me. Words can have different meanings depending on how they are used. In China, a punk is a dried cattail that is burned to chase away bugs. Go to England and ask someone where you can find a FAG. Yeah. Most Brits wouldn't object to having a FAG put in their mouth, but in the U.S. - you'd consider it pretty offensive. I've heard of numerous Brittish punks, who have come to New York and made the mistake of asking "where can I get a FAG around here?" I've even see classical music scores that refer to an instrument called a "faggot".

An occaisional appearance at a gig would be fun - I have a problem with only one person in this band, and I think Michale is a really cool dude. Even if thery offered it to me, I doubt that I'd ever want to return to a band that features someone who has called me all kinds of names in public, and the press.

Since leaving Danzig in September of 1994, Chuck has gone on to play drums for the Four Horsemen and his current band, Social Distortion. Eerie and John left the band together in July of 1995. Almost immediately afterwards, Eerie formed the blues based Bighouse for whom he sings and plays bass. John Christ has gone on to do instrumental pieces for various X-rated movies. With the release of BLACKACIDEVIL, Danzig's first album without Chuck, Eerie, and John, many Danzig fans are eager to hear these three musicians together again. Do you miss the old Danzig sound? Would you like to see Chuck Biscuits, Eerie Von, and John Christ performing together again, much as they did from 1987 until 1994? It's not impossible. In the words of Mary Von, "These guys were the "old danzig" sound. They weren't told what to play, they were only given rough ideas and added their magic to it. That sound will be there once again if they reunite. Of course Glenn has a wonderful voice but I'm sure there is someone else out there with an equally wonderful voice. And believe me, these guys can hold their own in the song writing department (they just weren't given a chance before). By the way, before anybody asks... there will NOT be a Glenn impersonator singing! This will be the core sound of the old band and will not include anyone trying to 'copy' Glenn. " If you want to see this happen, let them know! E-mail Eerie (ev777@aol.com) and John (bcrichman@aol.com) and tell them that you want to see them back together. Call Eerie's hotline at (201) 939-1267 and leave messages for him, letting him know that you want this to happen. Finally, tell Rick Rubin at American Recordings that you want this band back on his label. E-mail Steve Rogers ( steve@american.recordings.com) or at (srogers@earthlink.net). Also e-mail ( jeremy@american.recordings.com) and (jen@american.recordings.com) and tell them. As Mary says, "BOMBARD THEM WITH MAIL!!!!! ... please don't let up on these people until we make it happen! It's going to take a lot! " Also, be sure to write letters to: Eerie Von & John Chirst PO Box 9315 Lyndhurst, NJ 07071 American Recordings 3500 W. Olive, Suite 1550 Burbank, CA 91505-4628 Be persistent! This can only happen with a lot of work, a lot of e-mail, and a lot of letters. ------------------------------ From: mk Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #253 Date: Wed, 6 Nov 1996 11:08:54 -0500 (EST) > From: "JOSEPH M.

Just some thoughts on stuff.... 'American Psycho': Horrible... Nasty, nasty book. Everyone should read it, though, because it grips like a dying man. I didn't know there was a film out. Must try and find a copy. I heard they were looking into making a film of it, but someone else said that the movie ain't actually based on the book. I'll try and check it out anyway. The book, though: stomach-churning and violent, some very descriptive passages and graphic rapes. Has absolutely no moral fibre whatsoever. Therefore, everyone who reads the Bible will LOVE it... It's like a 200-page Wes Thomas post! New Misfits song titles: I commented on this a while back, about how 'Talons of Steel' sounded like a bad 80s metal title. Having read the full listing for the album, I might - note, might - reconsider my opinion of Jerry as a lyricist. Titles like 'Walk Among Us', 'This Island Earth', 'The Creeps' and 'Crimson Ghost' all sound like they might have promise, and the ones I've heard already, 'Haunting', 'Hunger', 'Blacklight' etc are all cool tunes. 'Doctor Phibes Rises Again', though, great title... but I'm still not sure about those Kryst out-takes! Wrestling references: lots of these cropping up in the Bible lately. Interesting to note that more and more Danzig-Misfits-Samhain references are popping up in the e-wrestling world these days. (For the uninitiated, e-wrestling is kinda like wrestling by e-mail, where the basic premise is to invent your own character and insult your opponents into oblivion! heh, heh!) Anyway, tons of these characters have Misfits-related aspects, whether it be the wrestler being a complete knock-off of Glenn/Jerry/Doyle or quoting song lyrics, or even just using one of the songs as entrance music. (Hi Tom!) It's all good clean fun, though... Eerie's pre-Samhain band: It was Rosemary's Babies... Glenn's yearbook pic: I agree. Mark, you have GOT to get a hold of that for Misfits Central. Jerry has a copy???

These items are worth only what someone is willing to pay for them. I dont collect records for the sake of collecting, i just like the music, so to me, the original cough cool isnt worth $5, let alone $400, BUT, if someone is willing to pay that money, then it must be worth it to them. Look at all those EAD cds going for $75? thats a rip off, cause you get the album in the box set for under $60 with everything else, but hey, someone is will to dish out the cash so the price goes up. If i owned something thats collectible (and I do have EAD, i paid $12 for it new as well as the Garage Hits CD from Metallica that I heard brings in a big price) I will make sure to make as much money as possible, cause if I dont, someone else will, and we all know we dont run a Misfits charity .... just my 2 cents.

Someone last issue mentioned how "Sacrifice" was just a remake of Nine Inch Nail's "Closer" ... Well, aside from the fact that they don't even have a similar beat, they're not played at similar speeds, and they sound basically NOTHING alike ... I guess you have a point! Jesus, it seems as if you change your style, all of a sudden either you're ripping someone off, you suck, or you've "sold out". So I guess it's best just to keep doing what you've been doing and adding nothing new to it at all. Just kept playing the same music and writing the same songs over and over and over until you come out with "Mother, Part XXX" or "Astro-Zombies, Version 54" and you've pissed all of your creativity down the toilet. Come on now. It seems as if a lot of people who think they were born fifteen years too late and are true "punk rockers" hate change although they claim to spit in society's face and call for revolution. If the Misfits write new songs that don't sound just like "Horror Business" or any of the older stuff, they're no good anymore. If Danzig decides to try something new, he's copying someone else. If the Misfits decide to sign to Geffen and don't want to sell records out of their garage anymore and glue record sleeves together themselves, they suck and have sold out. It's ridiculous. If you like the music, good for you. If not, who the fuck cares? So what if a tribute album is coming out? Do you think that's going to change the way the Misfits have played or will play? No. So what if the new Danzig album doesn't sound like the earlier 4? Does that make the older songs bad all of a sudden? No again. The Misfits, Glenn, whoever, they're going to do what they're going to do regardless. Live with it and relax a little bit. You might enjoy the world a little more ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Nov 1996 19:14:08 -0500 From: John Smarsh Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #253 Can anybody tell me when Danzig will be coming to Cleveland, OH?

I don't know how many bible memebers were there. However the show was quite good. I think that the fearsome four need to take a rest, M. Graves looked a little burnt out to me. The set list was pretty much the same one that I heard at Roseland show back in July. this dissapointed me a little since birch hill was a pain in the ass to get to (I was given fucked up directions, and we spent two hours driving through the boondocks.) but I have to say that I really, really liked the new songs especially 'American Psycho' I think that'll be a single it definatly was catchy as opposed to 'Walk Among Us', which was a little metalish. Also I might add that SARDONICA ROCKS, and I loved their set. Also this was my first all ages show or should I say twelve and thirteen year old moonstompers and alternaboppers (remember teenieboppers, well this is their Bush listning Smashing Pumpkin T-shirt wearing counter part) Anyway I've gotta go back to my studies.

Most of those who have expressed criticism of the album in the bible seem unable to look beyond the fact that it doesn't sound like the last 4 albums. The intensity in these new songs is tremendous- I can't stop listening to the new album, and it's all I've had in my CD player since its release!! The sound may be different, but the album certainly lacks none of the intensity, atmosphere or moodiness of any of Glenn's previous works. It reminds me much more of a cross between November style Samhain material, Black Aria and material like Sadistikal and Can't Speak from the 4p album than it does of other industrial acts like NIN. So I welcome Danzig's new style- after all what could be more boring than if the new album had been no different from Lucifuge or How the Gods Kill. Glenn has shown that he is not scared to take chances with his music and is always able to present a product that intrigues and challenges the listener- this is what I've always admired about his work. -stewart ------------------------------ From: ChristoTer@aol.com Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1996 13:25:48 -0500 Subject: Stuff Hey, Mark Lerret e-mail me, I've got a proposition for you.

I like it. Here are my impressions... 7th House: Powerful opener, a la Glenn. Not much else going for it, but neither did "Godless." Blackacidevil: Sort of like "Burn" by NIN but more up-tempo. I like it. See All You Were: As good as this song is, I agree with whoever said this song would be better without the distortion. Vocal effect reminds me of "Sadistikal." Sacrafice: Sorry, don't see what all the hubbub is about. It's good, but... "Ashes" man. Hint Of Her Blood: Guitar reminds me of Alice In Chains' "Rooster" (ironically, not one of the songs Jerry Cantrell worked on). Me thinks it works though. Serpentia: Vocals remind me of Soundgarden's "Mailman." Moaning IS annoying. Come To Silver: Sounds like something (please don't flame me for what I'm about to say!) Jon Bon Jovi would do. I don't know, it's got that "I'm from New Jersey, but I want to be a cowboy" feel JBJ was famous for. It's better than "Thirteen" though, Mr. Cash grabbed the wrong song. Hand Of Doom: It's cool, but it's Sabbath so what did you expect? Power Of Darkness: Reminiscent of last year's "Hallo Spaceboy" by David Bowie. Ashes: This is the only song that struck me the first time I heard it and the only one that wins my love unconditionally. Certainly the best track on the CD, possibly Glenn's all time best. Well, the album's not too original (but what is nowadays?), but, nevertheless, it IS good. I like almost everything Glenn's done, but I've always been very critical of his music. I don't know if that's good or bad... Well, that's my take on the whole thing. D.ETH darryl.etheridge@sheridanc.on.ca P.S. Doug Haskin joked about Glenn doing an unplugged show...but I think it's a great idea. This man has written some incredible ballads, a show like that would allow him to do songs like "Life Fades Away" and "Cold, Cold Rain." Think about it... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Nov 1996 22:53:40 -0500 From: monk Subject: lame fiends I have been listening to the MISFITS and SAMHAIN for around ten years now. They are probably my favorite band. Over the summer I became active on the internet and found MISFITS Central, great, and I was even more thrilled when I subscribed to the bible. At first I thought what a great source of info, I got the tour dates and went to the action park show. Life was good, however I also realized that a large number of the people who post, just bitch. Crying about Glen, Geffen, or whatever they feel does not fit into their idea of the MISFITS, SAMHAIN, or DANZIG. With all of this going on I became less interested in the bible. Last Saturday, I went to see the MISFITS at the birch hill. The so called FIENDS there were 100% lame. They bitched left and right about anything. The part that pissed me off was when a group of lame-o's yelled "you suck!" to SARDONICA, a very talented band who plays their heart out. That was down right rude. If your not happy with a band's style, that's ok, but don't be an ass. Anyway I am going to cancel my subscription to the bible. I don't need to hear any more bitching than I have to. - MONK - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Nov 1996 23:20:44 +0500 From: "John 'Enjoyer of Violence' Kendrick" Subject: sighting I have two Misfits sightings.

Subject: What happened to you... Hello fiends... I mentioned last time about the Danzig stuff and then got some letter asking about the club. So i think i should make this clear for everyone. I know to some of you this is new, not everyone on the list is a long timer. So here we go. With Danzig the first fan club that i knew about and mysteriously was made a member of was The Danzig Force. This club, i believe started in late 1989 or early 1990 and was run by PJ Monroe, i think she was also involved with the second club Angels of the Seventh Dawn started in mid 1992. I had received the papers to fill out and i think it cost $15 for the year, though i was charged only once and my membership extended because mine ran out right after hurricane Andrew hit here. This ran as long as the band did i would say, but the last letter i got from Eerie was in Dec. 1993. This was a three page letter that talked about their tour, birthdays, and some problems. Though one interesting bit that Eerie pointed out was the band except John went to see a Misfits cover band and ended up taking over and playing London Dungeon, and To Walk the Night( this was in New Zealand). Well what i think is happening is that if you were a member of Angels of the Seventh Dawn they are now trying to cross us over to the new club. The postcard i have to send back to Danzig is the same address as the one in the CD book on the new CD. I just hope we get a little more stuff, and a more structured run club. the stuff from Angels was never on any schedule. If you did not get the card or any of the other stuff i mentioned just write to the address in the CD book for info. If you don't have it, its: Danzig Information 10801 National Blvd., #530, Los Angeles, CA. 90064. I was reading bible #252, (Bobby did you get it yet!?!)and i saw this --I called Glenn to ask him about this, but when he picked up the phone and said hello, he couldn't seem to understand me. I began to yell "Glenn, what's wrong with YOUR EAR?" and he said, "What? Buy you a beer?" and I could hear his girlfriend yelling at him in the background, "Switch ears, Glenny, Switch ears!" but Glenn just kept yelling at me until he finally said "Stop harrassing me Bobby! It's all in Jerry's hands now! He's got your money!" Anyway, it was odd, considering how long Glenn and I have been friends.-- I have never laughed so hard from one post on the bible. bill vile you are good man, Wes look out i think you have some competition. JOSEPH M. NINOSKY - check out the news section of Misfits Central and that will catch you up with Eerie, John and Chuck. By the way how do you if Wes is a Wet Homo(yes this was part of your post in #252) you know the wet homo and the red truck you refered to. Also Brett, nice post you lucky ducky get to see Danzig on Halloween. Someone asked about Eerie Von's band before Samhain, that was Rosemary's Babies and the only vinyl was a 7" called Blood Lust, which you still can buy from Eerie. I think he is still selling them for $50, but they are nice, red vinyl, cool sleeve, lyrics, flyers and he signed them. well as usual its been interesting i must say. Later to all the fiendies!?!

Tom from Caroline recently informed that the Misfits tribute album (Violent World) will not be released February 11, 1997. It was pushed back 2 more weeks so they can properly promote it. Press packages and posters for the album should be ready within 2 weeks. Also, I too have received the Danzig postcard and stickers for the new fan club. Apparently they're using the same mailing list they did back in 1990. That Danzig fan club (the Danzig Force) was run by PJ Monroe, before the Angels Of The Seventh Dawn, and before Danzig Dominion. Maybe this one will actually stick around. Rocky Caiafa still needs reviews of Misfits shows from newspapers and magazines. He's going to use them for the next Misfits presskit (the first one was in 1982). If you've got some, please let me know. Also, I still have lots of Misfits Fiend Club postcards from the summer, so if you want one, either mail me a stamp and I'll send it to you, or send me a 5x7 envelope and I'll put one in.

I am sure many of you have seen this before, but for those who don't know, Larson is a Christian radio talk show host from Colorado who now has a weekly TV show on the Trinity Broadcast Network. Anyhoo, here's an entry from his "A Parent's Guide to Black Metal Music" appendix. DANZIG: Glenn Danzig, formerly with the Misfits, is a heavy metal hero of the eighties. He collects Japanese monster toys and sings about Satan. The cover of his latest LP, entitled Danzig, depicts a goat's skull, the symbol of satanic allegiance. Grisly songs on the album applaud a god of deceit and darkness. The lyrics to "Twist of Cain" relate how Satan fathered Cain, enabling him to commit the first murder. In another song, "Evil Thing," Danzig describes how anger keeps him alive in his private hell as a demon-man. During a recent MTV interview, Glenn Danzig commented that war is acceptable because it represents human nature. Man, he said, should acknowledge his good and evil aspects and not be upset at his failures. Danzig's own ethical dichotomy is apparent in such songs as "Am I Demon," in which he asks, "Am I beast or am I human?" There is also an entry for Samhain under a "Miscellaneous Bands" category. Interestingly enough, Danzig's name is mentioned nowhere: SAM HAIN: [sic] The group Sam Hain, a name taken from the Luciferian Lord of the Dead, spotlights an album called "Unholy Passion." The leader of the group, which is now defunct, says, "I'm really into skulls and bones and things. We are definitely into the gore scene. If you don't understand or realize what death is, you won't be able to enjoy life." (New Times, vol. 16, p. 9) I just came across these tonight & thought they might give some of you a chuckle.

Though I revile these a-holes as much if not more than most people, I feel that keeping their ideas out in the open where they can be easily monitored and challenged is more important that denying them the newsgroup. I prefer to know what they are thinking, where they are going and who they are targeting rather than having them congregate in secret. Unfortunatly, some impressionable people may find this and be swayed, but that is risk I think worth taking. Having this group will also allow non-racists to post and try to at least discuss with these meatheads in the hope of changing some of their minds. Its similar to what goes on between the Christain and Atheist/Satanist news groups. There are always people from "the other side" in there discussing things. Only through open discourse and ideas can these clowns be kept at bay. Besides, there already exists alt.skinhead so they can all hang there. And if any of you have ever gone on IRC and chatted in some of the nazi groups, it can be fun messing with them and getting them to fight amongst themselves, and with their relatively low IQs, it is pretty easy.

Afer all, both are part of the same scene. Well, sort of. First off, I used to be SXE during all of Junior High, High School, and part of College. Right now I think it was the STUPIDEST phase of my life, but at the time I thought I ws so right and that I would be "True Till Death". Yeah right! Once you start going to a few parties and are old enough to go "upstairs" at shows to get a beer it all changes. Anyways, I would like to commend the SXE kid for doing something that I wasn't strong enough to. Just do me a favor and DON'T PREACH! Remember, you are not better than me, just different. Personally when I look at the current SXE scene I laugh. I feel that it is because of the stereotype you all have as being "Better Than You" that ruined the scene. It's almost like you got to the point where you always have to hang out in your little groups with those queer X's because you have everyone else pissed off at you. You have to hide behind your X. That is why it is there, it is your identity, your security blanket. Maybe one day you will see your scene for what it really is, or maybe not. Regardless, SXE was a part of my life and was to first step in introducing me to punk and hardcore. Not being SXE was the second step. Oh course, things were a lot different then.

Look jerky, if you think punk means being unable to enjoy anything, you're a clueless fuck, and the fact that you're not punk does NOT make you "cool". As for punks no liking Danzig's metal stuff, well, gee...maybe it's a question of TASTE! Besides, I'm punk and I think Blackacidevil is the best Glenn's done in yeas, and I've heard some of his more "metalhead" fan complain about it. Well, that's all the bitching. Anyway, like I said, Danzig5 rules. Yeah, I think a new name is in order, but regardless, this album is the best Glenn has done since the Misfits, I think. Respect to him also for being one of the few people of the 70s/80s punk era that hasn't tried to cash in, but instead concentrates on doing new things. Oh, incidentally, I don't think Glenn going industrial can be seen as "trendy" anymore than Glenn doing punk in the late 70s/early 80s, or metal in the late 80s/early 90s.

Collecting rare records has nothing to do with listening to fresh new, clean CD versions of the recordings. It has to do with looking at the printed covers, the credits, liner notes, the vinyl, the colored vinyl, the labels and homemade art that Glenn put together, etc., checking out how many were pressed and wondering where the other 499 are, wondering how long they sat on store shelves in 1978 or 1980 waiting to be discovered, and there's a lot more to it.

They have a radio edit of Sacrifice and an unreleased track called Don't Be Afraid. It is just like the songs on D5 and has a vocal track to it which gives you the impression that Glenn has decided to experiment with LSD.

Mark Saalwaechter marks@powernet.net ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Nov 1996 19:14:15 -0500 From: mxk Subject: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/danzig2.html WHAT HAPPENED TO EERIE, CHUCK, AND JOHN? Since leaving Danzig in September of 1994, Chuck has gone on to play drums for the Four Horsemen and his current band, Social Distortion. Eerie and John left the band together in July of 1995. Almost immediately afterwards, Eerie formed the blues based Bighouse for whom he sings and plays bass. John Christ has gone on to do instrumental pieces for various X-rated movies. With the release of BLACKACIDEVIL, Danzig's first album without Chuck, Eerie, and John, many Danzig fans are eager to hear these three musicians together again. Do you miss the old Danzig sound? Would you like to see Chuck Biscuits, Eerie Von, and John Christ performing new songs together, much as they did from 1987 until 1994? It's not impossible. In the words of Mary Von, "These guys were the 'old danzig' sound. They weren't told what to play, they were only given rough ideas and added their magic to it. That sound will be there once again if they reunite. Of course Glenn has a wonderful voice but I'm sure there is someone else out there with an equally wonderful voice. And believe me, these guys can hold their own in the song writing department (they just weren't given a chance before). By the way, before anybody asks... there will NOT be a Glenn impersonator singing! This will be the core sound of the old band and will not include anyone trying to 'copy' Glenn. " If you want to see this happen, let them know! E-mail Eerie (ev777@aol.com) and John (bcrichman@aol.com) and tell them that you want to see them back together. Call Eerie's hotline at (201) 939-1267 and leave messages for him, letting him know that you want this to happen. Finally, tell Rick Rubin at American Recordings that you want this band back on his label. E-mail Steve Rogers ( steve@american.recordings.com) or at (srogers@earthlink.net). Also e-mail Jeremy ( jeremy@american.recordings.com) and Jen (jen@american.recordings.com) and tell them. Or e-mail all of them at once. As Mary says, "BOMBARD THEM WITH MAIL!!!!! ... please don't let up on these people until we make it happen! It's going to take a lot! " Also, be sure to write letters to: Eerie Von & John Chirst PO Box 9215 Lyndhurst, NJ 07071 American Recordings 3500 W. Olive, Suite 1550 Burbank, CA 91505-4628 Be persistent! This can only happen with a lot of work, a lot of e-mail, and a lot of letters. ------------------------------ From: hunterrose@cbplanet.com Date: Sun, 10 Nov 1996 19:55:06 -0500 Subject: Misfits taping policy does anyone know what the misfits taping policy is and do they allow soundboard patches? thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Nov 1996 20:17:40 -0500 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: Do you still need videos?? Hi - Well, the rush from my last offer has settled down somewhat, so I guess it's time to make it once again. If any of you people out there still need the two videos that I've made available to bible members for the past couple of years, read on. The videos I have are the Creepy Compilation and Evil Is As Evil Does, a Misfits Bible exclusive featuring the highest quality vintage Misfits footage around. It's got Kalamazoo, Bethlehem, Goleta, Dearborn, Braineaters, Skulls, Halloween, and more. The Creepy Comp has the never-released Flipside footage from Boston. These videos are $10 each postpaid and you can get your copy(s) by sending U.S. funds to: Brent Eyestone 478 East Beaver Ave. Apt. 211 State College, PA 16801 Foreign Fiends should get in touch about postal rates, etc. Also, a lot of people have been writing in wondering if I have footage of other bands. The answer is yes, so feel free to write for a list of other stuff I have. That should cover the video issue. In other news, I caught the State College show a couple of weeks ago and man, was I impressed! I met up with the band as they were loading in (got bear-hugged and football tackled by Jerry!?!?) and Jerry and Rocky were kind enough to put my girlfriend and I on the guestlist. Everyone was so nice, but still, the true test was yet to come. The band took the stage a little after 11:00 and as usual, opened with Halloween. Let me just say that I don't understand how anyone could give Michale any shit over ANYTHING. He was impressive to say the least and I even expected him to be horrible (just because he wasn't Glenn). But after those first few songs, the thought of Glenn never once entered my head. Michale has a GREAT voice. My only criticism is that when a promoter like the Crowbar vastly oversells a show by 400 people, it's probably not a good idea to encourage everyone to start a pit. A lot of people got hurt pretty bad... So the band ripped through a 40 song set. Sometimes it sounded so good that I thought they were lip syncing over pre-recorded music!!! And whoever said that the Newfits are "metallized," I couldn't see/hear what you were talking about. So yeah, they were amazing. And this is coming from a person who thought they (the new lineup) would never live up to the name!!! I'll go so far as to say they were better (live) than any previous lineup. After the show, I talked to Jerry for an hour or so. We talked about a lot, and I'm sure that Mark will cover most of the stuff, so I'll just leave it to him. But I will say that I heavily suggested that the band spring for a brand new computer for our beloved host, just simply for the fact that Mark busts his ass for this band more than anyone else does and both Jerry and I agreed that he deserves something nice for all of his time and effort. We'll see, though. Actually, I will mention another thing that we talked about. A lot of you out there in Misfits Bible land seem worried that now that the band is on a major, they are going to forget about vinyl and that they're just going to become some big corporate puppet. Well, here's what's going to happen (in Jerry's idealistic mind, anyway). Yes, they ARE going to make a video. But here's the catch - the song for the video WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE ALBUM. The song will only be available on a vinyl 7" that may or may not be limited in pressing. Jerry hopes that this plan follows through and that they will make a series of 3 7"s like this, all featuring exclusive art from one of the band's favorite artists. In Jerry's words, "It's gonna make the Resurection poster look retarded." Okay, there you have it. Like I said, I'm sure Mark is going to clue everyone in on everything else, so I won't waste anymore space. Take care of yourselves. - Brent ------------------------------ From: Bile666@aol.com Date: Sun, 10 Nov 1996 20:33:08 -0500 Subject: Angry Red Just a quick note, the Halloween special edition of "Angry Red", a well done Misfits/Samhain/Danzig fanzine, is currently available. It contains contributions by myself, EVB, and others and is filled with various pictures and concert ads and comes with a special full color photo pack that is cool just by itself. Anyway, anyone interested should send $2 to: Angry Red/ c/o Keith Huening/5883 Kyles Station/Hamilton, OH/45011. Don't miss it. Anyway, people have mentioned that the new song "American Psycho" might be based on that book of the same name that came out a few years back and caused a stir but I really doubt it. Whenever I've heard someone mention a particular horror movie/book to Jerry, he only seems to know some of them. I know he's a fan of horror movies, but I'm not sure just how much he gets into them beyond a general liking. Just because a song is named after a movie or a line from a film doesn't mean the writer of the song is in love with the movie. And "American Psycho" hasn't been turned into a film yet. I remember reading in Fangoria that David Cronenberg was intending on doing it but I never saw anything more on it. Anyway ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Nov 1996 23:14:18 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: To Infinity and beyond, plus i still say they are all nuts... Hello fiends... First thing, If you were an Angels of the Seventh Dawn member, did you get the postcard, and sticker with mail back with in the past two weeks? Please let me know. I think (Jess this is why you got the same package i got) that the new Danzig fan club is making the crossover from the AOTSD. Though we can only hope that the statement in that article was true and we get an EP from this. As more stuff comes in the mail i'll let everyone know. But honestly, its worth being part of the club from what i had got out of the last club. By the way does anyone know whatever happened to PJ Monroe? Next. AZ i understand the concept of capitalism, but there is a saying you don't swim the same pot you shit in. ie we are talking about bible members making major profit of other bible members. I still have the price list that Kris Mclauchlan was selling his stuff at and that was at least 5 - 6 years ago. He sold his stuff higher than what it was at any record store or other seller. I also know what the records go for and what i paid. Even the guys at Taang records sold their Cough/Cools at $175, also Dave the lead singer of the Parasites (remember they did the cover of Last Caress) was selling one for $200(no i did not get mine from Dave, the last i heard from him he still had it for the same price). I don't think it should be low in price, this stuff is rare, but i don't see why it should be way beyond the normal prices for the stuff. Don't take this wrong AZ, you are entitled to you opinion just as i am to mine. By the way if i have the next contest AZ, will you lay out the cash for the red pickup, and some airline tickets to get wes to come and sign it, oh plus lots of postage stamp to mail it to the winner. shit what if Franz wins again, then you would have a lot of stamps to lick to send that truck to Italy. American Nightmare - the boxset was not out at the time though in the issues of Thrasher Magazine i remember reading in 1987 that Glenn was going to put it out really soon. well i waited, now i have a killer collection and a boxset. Oh by the way, i have heard from some friends that they have now seen the boxset for $50. I guess i'll be stuck in the same situation when the Samhain boxset comes out too. oh well. Mark Saalwaechter- you should try and get that picture of Danzig, cause if you read the inside of the CD book, he was the one who drew it. It is also on all the promo stuff they are sending in the fan club crossover. one last thing today, Arcan, the 7" you have is a bootleg. the real one has black labels, one side has glenn's name and the songs listed, the other has a picture of Marilyn like the sleeve minus the purple on the lips, and eye lids.

No. The deal with the coffin thing was this: we wre planning the HAlloween 1980 show, and Glenn wanted us to come out of coffins. This was something I'd done six-years earlier - not to mention the opening act, SCREAMING JAY HAWKINS, had been doing it for close to 30 years. I suggested that; if we were gonna do it - we'd have to take it a step further (kinda like Hendrix vs Townsend at Monterey). My idea was inspired by the Klaus Kinski NOSFERATU. I said we should fill the coffins with LIVE RATS, so that when the coffins opened, hundreds of rats would come piling out into the audience. Glenn said it was ridiculous. No club would tolerate us infesting it with rats. So, I suggested we feed them rat poison. Whichever rats weren't stomped to death by the crowd would die soon enough from the poison. That was the last time they played with me . . . Until about two-weeks later when I finally got hold of Glenn and he told me I was out of the band. >From: "Dorin M.

I wish, it would make getting in my recording gear alot easier!!! Unfortunatly, it seems only purveyors of shitty music (aka, the Dead, Phish, Pearl Jam, etc) allow their fans to tape shows. I suggest getting a good recorder and a pair of good stealh mics. Check out the Dat Heads mailing list "dat-heads-request@fedney.near.net" for more info on that stuff. I think its funny to see Michale posting for bootleg recordings of their shows, when they dont even let us tape the shows!! Give me board access, and I'll make live tapes that will make your head spin, I'm silly i tell ya, silly! and then Adam Segal said -> >Someone last time criticized a fiend for paying lots for original Misfits >vinyl, saying "just buy the box set." This is not a flame, but you've >completely missed the point. Collecting rare records has nothing to do >with listening to fresh new, clean CD versions of the recordings. I wasnt critizing anyone for paying for that stuff, or at least i didnt mean too, I was just pointing out that I buy misfits recording cause I like their music, not to collect their albums. I am a collector only in the sense that I do what I can to get all the recordings of a band I liken so I can listen to them. Right now I am stuck with all the original Misifts CDs AND the box set. So as the old plan 9 CD stuff becomes really rare and people start paying out the ass for it, then i'll sell it and buy one of Doyles guitars ...... :) az ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Nov 96 10:29:33 EST From: London Dungeon Subject: Pinky and the Misfits The "Pinky and the Brain" scene with the "THX=1138" and "We Are 138" both have the same origin.

But contrary to popular belief, he got out. Jerry beat his battle axe on the door until it came open. In the meantime, Glenn talked Joey Image (who was actually Trent Reznor) into playing this coolasstechnobeat (which he would later call Danzig 666 ravetilangelsoftheseventhdawn), while he skipped around a replica of stonehenge. When the other guys rushed back to their spots on stage jerry accidentally kicked over the 12 inch prop and crushed Glenn. After this incident is when glenn was taken to the xavier acadamy and given his admantium skeleton.

What anyone can express themselves unless you disagree with them? As Pete Steele said, "This is the United States of America, you've got a right to hate who you want." Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting Nazis for what they stand for but they have a right to express themselves, as do you. If you're worried about youngsters getting at---THAT IS WHAT PARENTS ARE FOR. If you have a kid and don't want him to get any Nazi ideals, DON'T LET HIM/HER GET ONTO NAZI SIGHTS OR READ THEIR PROPAGANDA. IT'S JUST THAT EASY!! You don't need to take away the rights of people who disagree with you. I disagree with the message the magazine "High Times" puts out, but I don't try to ban them from stores, because it is their right to express themselves and their views how they want. AND, because I believe in freedom of speech---I'M VOTING YES! Your little propaganda, your little form of Nazism is sickening. Thomas Yusko--I believe that CD is called "Resurrection"? It's got the Michigan Union show that is great quality and something else. Get it, if you don't like it, I'll take it off your hands. Justin Deming--Actually the WWF does do shows in several places on the same day. I remember going to an event in Chicago and there being one in NY at the same time, obviously with different wrestlers. Adam Segal--Reason for collecting---it's become an obesession, plus it's the only thing I'm somewhat good at, considering my financial situation.

Newsflash: Glenn is gone. He is the past. I'm tired of hearing people tell me that they don't think the Misfits are really back because they don't have Glenn. Well the Misfits are back. Glenn has his own thing going. He is happy with that so he'll stay with it. The Misfits don't need him now that they have a new, better lead singer. Michale Graves is just as goo, in fact better than Glenn. The Misfits are back with unbridled energy and Michale is one representation of that energy. I have never seen a lead singer become a part of the music like Mike does. He does the job like no other. So for all of you who feel the Misfits are Glenn, go to a show sometime soon and find out that you are more than wrong. The Misfits are back. They are a thing of today. Be afraid, be very afraid.

I was wearing a Misfits shirt. it was the NOTLD one. I was in the pit and i did everything you did buddy and i dont just run into people in the pit. I hate bush and the smashing pumkis. Think before you talk out of your ass. and no i am not claiming to be a real punk with a mohawk or any fuckin punk gear. sean First off I will not let this lead to a flame war, I do not like wasteing space on the bible, and every bit of flame mail recieved has to be processed by Mark, and he already has enough to do let alone dealing with bible members who have differences. Let me put it to you from my perspective, The reason I didn't like the fact that the birch hill show was all ages was because off the disrespect that was being given to the bands that were opening for the Misfits. I know a few people who are in bands, (both in New Brunswick, and the North Newark,-New York scene,) and I have met Sardonica, and Flatus, they are great musicans. The point is that is was overwhemingly kids who were screaming 'Fuck You', 'Get off the stage.' not adults. That was the reason. I respect the concept of all ages and I feel that it is an important function of any punk scene, but give the bands credit where's credits due.

Technical Ecstacy and Never Say Die are for some strange reason the most underrated and often-criticized Black Sabbath albums (except for the non-Ozzy ones). finally, MARK: if the misfits put out these 3 7"s, are they going to ever put these songs on cd (i know they're not gonna be on the album, but having vinyl-only sucks...) maybe for singles or something? as for wrestling, rick rubin owns/owned the smokey mountain wrestling league; and i think jerry and doyle met jim "the anvil" neidhardt. i have suspectd for a while that glenn signed with hollywood records because hulk hogan is now evil and calls himself "hollywood hulk hogan", so there could be a connection there. also, my high school economics teacher called me "hit man" even though bret hart spells his name with only one "t", and mine is with two. and most importantly, when watching RAW last week, it looked to me, for a second, like one of "loose cannon" brian pillman's friends was wearing an old faded Legacy of Brutality shirt while getting beaten up by "stone cold" steve austin, but he was not, in fact, wearing such a shirt. go figure. for a minute there i thought i had come across the misfits sighting of the decade. -brett i am really sean michaels ------------------------------------- To contribute to the next issue, please send email to: misfits@virginia.edu mailto:misfits@virginia.edu (Netscape Mail) For more information, contact Mark Kennedy at: msk4m@watt.seas.virginia.edu For answers to most questions, please visit Misfits Central before posting: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/ The Misfits mailing address is: Misfits Fiend Club | P.O.

Until about two-weeks > > later when I finally got hold of Glenn and he told me I was out of the > > band. boyoboy does that bring back memories. I recall that coffin tale, when it happened, and I remember Glenn thinking that Bobby's idea was great, tho not exactly feasible (1-coffins are expensive even to rent and these were the super low budget days; and 2-while rats are plentiful and cheap, they could pose a problem with the club owner and club goers). Also in an unrelated but widely spread falsehood, there was some nonsense being spoke about Bobby being UNABLE to get out of the coffin? Having seen Bobby hump his own equipment many times in 1978-79 its interesting to report that while Bobby's got a pronounced limp, I never KNEW he had anything really WRONG with him then! I assumed he was a healthy as the rest of us malnourished sleepdeprived humans. Yup that's true. Wasnt until 15 yrs later I even found out what exactly Bobby's diagnosis was/is! He wears it very well, he's a real man, doesnt wear his disability on his sleeve. :) After that gig was done with, I talked to Glenn on the phone one day. He told me, rather nonchalantly, that Bobby wasnt in the band. I asked why and he gave the verbal equivalent of a shrug. I knew Glenn liked Bobby pretty well, so I thought that was odd that he quit. Turns out of course that Bobby didnt quit, but Glenn never told me different. He just said, Jerrys lil bro is gonna play with us now. Thats all. No 'asshole fucking cunt', no diatribe nothing. Bobbys got some interesting theories as to the exact manner in which Glenn was convinced to oust him, and Bobby's case looks stronger all the time. But he'll have to report that one, when he's good and ready. Dont think thats ready for publication just yet, unlike the filthy vile tissue of lies being packaged as 'narrative' under the title 'Please Kill Me' by the biggest whore who ever drew breath, Edward Roderick McNeil. Dont buy it, dont even steal it. It's a piece of shit and it glorifies drugs. Plus 99% of it isnt even true, and he literally stole the idea from someone who needs the money far more than him and screwed him out of it. besides I just found out that back in 1990 Legs told Glenn Danzig that *I* was dead of a heroin OD! Fascinating, no? No wonder I feel so tired lately. seems I've been dead for lo these many yrs. I asked our former co-worker John Holmstrom about why he'd say such a thing when he had no reason to believe it (other than trying to look cooller to the interviewee...)I was told that was McNeils' pat (no pun intended) response when asked about someone whose whereabouts he didnt know. That gives him street cred, huh? PLEASE KILL LEGS MCNEIL!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah buy the 'Best of Punk Magazine (the Original)' which is now available.

A few people have mailed me privatly to critize me for the anti white-power post. I have responded to those folks privatly. But since I'm now being named on the Bible itself and folks are calling ME a nazi, I can be silent no more. Yes, I am the one who posted about voting no on the white power music list. No, I am not against free speech and I don't support censorship. If there are any lawyers on this list, PLEASE back me up on what I'm gonna say. What I proposed doing was the exact opposite of censorship, believe it or not. I proposed that we as private citizens stop this newsgroup, before the government comes in and has to do it. Why? 'Cause if we involve the government, that's censorship, that's a violation of free speech. If private citzens speak out, that is NOT censorship, that's free speech! In short, only the government can 'censor', only the government can violate free speech. When we as net-citizens can show the government that we can police ourselves, we take away their ability to regulate us. I like Chris Ternes. I think he is one of the Bible's MVPs. Really. So, I'm not gonna personally attack him as he attacked me. It just frustrates me when people misuse the terms 'free speech', 'censorship' and 'nazi'. And it really pisses me off when people spell my name wrong! I do like Chris' point about not liking High Times, but not trying to ban it. Chris, if you owned a store would you stock High Times? This is the point of voting on the news group. We have the right to say, we disagree with the nazis, but we respect their right to believe what they want to. But we're not gonna help them spread their messages. This is OUR net. We have a right to decide what goes on it. When we invite people to put crap on the net, guess what's gonna happen? The government is going to say, 'If you can't control yourselves, we'll do it for you, wether you like it or not'. I hope this makes sense. And I hope we can keep this off the bible.

I don't care how much energy a band has, If they are no good they are no good. They will just be a bad band with energy. I have read so many reviews that go like this, "The band played with the most energy I have ever seen, They were really having a good time, blablablabla...." Thatis all well and good but it doesn't mean a thing to me. I don't want to hear what kind of a time the band was having, I want to hear what quality of music they were playing. Some of you might just think it is obvious that it is good since afterall ,it is the Misfits but not me. I'm not convinced and not sure I will ever be. > Let me put it to you from my perspective, The reason I didn't like the > fact that the birch hill show was all ages was because off the disrespect that > was being given to the bands that were opening for the Misfits.

The > point is that is was overwhemingly kids who were screaming 'Fuck You', 'Get off > the stage.' not adults. question: do you really believe that this was only done by the under whatever group of people in the club? I would wager that in fact, the majority of people yelling at the opening bands would probably have been there anyway. In fact, I think the younger kids are actually more curdeous that the older concert goers. If you wonder why I assume this, well, It's the alcohol. If the show was at a place that served alcohol, and I'm sure it was, only the ober 212 crowd can drink, or so the club would like to think. As a person who doesn't really drink I see "normal" guys, whatever that may be, turn into the most obnoxious people I have ever seen. > finally, MARK: if the misfits put out these 3 7"s, are they going to ever > put these songs on cd (i know they're not gonna be on the album, but > having vinyl-only sucks...) maybe for singles or something? What, vinyl is cool. How could you not like vinyl? Vinyl only is the only way to go. Go out a get a record player. > I think its funny to see Michale posting for bootleg recordings of their > shows, when they dont even let us tape the shows!! Give me board access, and > I'll make live tapes that will make your head spin, I'm silly i tell ya, silly! I find it hard to understand why bands don't just always tape their shows. Is it really that hard. From what I understand all you need is a tape reciever and some cabels to make a soundboard tape. They usually turn out pretty good too. If you really want to get fancy you can get that new kind of tape that is digital but I think that is going overboard a little bit. You never know when you might do something at a show that is truly amazing that just can't be redone. I would just think taping every show would also give a band that ability to have some nice extra songs a b-sides for singles oe whatever. > If you're worried about youngsters getting at---THAT IS WHAT PARENTS ARE FOR. > If you have a kid and don't want him to get any Nazi ideals, DON'T LET > HIM/HER GET ONTO NAZI SIGHTS OR READ THEIR PROPAGANDA.

AND, because I believe in freedom of speech---I'M > VOTING YES! Your little propaganda, your little form of Nazism is sickening. Freedom of Speech is a right in this country as a means to having a fair government. It is given to us so that one group can not be silenced just to suit another groups needs. It is not an absolute right given to us just for whatever purpose we see fit. If speech is merely aimed at hate and is not surving any purpose whatsoever it can legally be banned. Now you can arguee whether this neo-nazi newsgroup serves a purpose that should be protected by the first amendment is questionable. It would depend on how it is used. If it is used just as a forum of hate and nothing else than it shouldn't be allowed. If, however it is used to promote the beliefs, however insain they nay be, of this faction of people than we have no choice then to let them have it. I'm not really sure what the circumstances around this are because I havn't really been reading the bible that much anymore but I just thought I would inject this little opinion. Now a little bit about the Misfits. A long time ago I mentioned that I could get a live Misfits CD for someone on the list if they wanted it. I had two reply and I have lost there replies. I forget the name of the CD but I'll find out. I think it was a german recording. It cost $20-25 so I think it was an import. Anyway, send me some e-mail if you still want it and I'll get back with you. I don't want it, I havn't bought it so I can't even guarentee that the store still has it but I'll try. I don't want it but I'll get for someone else who does. I would kind of like to hear it though. I havn't seen them with Graves and I really don't have any desire to. As far as I'm concerned the Misfits "were" a band. They are nomore. When danzig moved on the Misfits died. This has been killing me, when Arthur Googy (sorry if I butchered that) got kicked out or quit or whatever I seem to remember hearing somewhere that it was because of Glen and after Danzig quit Jerry wanted him back. Why didn't this ever happen? What the hell is he doing now that he couldn't be back with them? Did Jerry even try and get him back and he refuse or what? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 01:54:42 +0100 (MET) From: Franz Ardito Subject: Mag article hello fiends, on the November issue of high times (flames from sXe people will NOT be accepted) i've found this article about the misfits: MISFITS RESURRECTED (picture of doyle, michale, chud, and jerry) by zena tsarfin If the punk scene of the late '70s had a skeleton in its closet, it was the misfits. They delved into a dark world filled with B-movie references to ghouls and brain-eating zombies, compuonded by walls of buzzing guitars and howling vocals. The misfits' horror-punk image combined a '50 greaser style with fresh-from-the-grave fashions: spikes, devilocks and corpse paint. Adopting their name from marilyn monroe's last flick and lifting the skull symbol from the movie Crimson ghost, the misfits scared the hell out of anyone who got in their way. Formed in Lodi, NJ in 1977 by vocalist glenn Danzig and bassist jerry only, the misfits maintained a DIY attitude from the start, putting out albums on their own label, plan 9 (named after ed wood's movie), and booking their own shows. This gang of ghouls often performed on a stage occupied by skeletons and coffins, sometimes rising out of the caskets to open their shows. When Danzig left the group and formed Samhain in 1983, the misfits dissolved. While the misfits were never known as a potsmoking band, Bobby Steele, who joined as a guitarist in 1978, came to realize the healing powers of marijuana when he was experiencing complications due to spina bifida. "A friend broke out a joint and when i got home i realized the pain was gone," Steele says. "I wasn't having any spasms, I went to the hospital and told them, your pills aren't working, the pot's working. I have to say that pot really saved my life." Steele has been in the Undead since 1980. Ironically, it was after the misfits' breakup that the band began to amass their legion of hardcore fans-by way of metallica, who frequently sported misfits t-shirts reading "die die my darling" and "fiend club". Caroline Records helped the resurgence by reissuing the classic 1982 album Walk Among us, as well as two best-ofs, Collection I and Collection II, before releasing a four-dis set early this year. The coffin-shaped, red-velvet-lined box includes all the band's releases, plus rare studio outtakes and a remastered version of their first single, "Static age" The success of these projects inevitably led to the Misfits' resurrection. The group now consists of Only, his brother Doyle on guitar, drummer DR.Chud and a new vocalist Michale Graves. A dead ringer for early Danzig-complete with devilock, hip thrusts and Elvis-meets-Roy-orbison vocal style- the 21 year-old Graves was never a big misfits fan. "my brother used to listen to them," he recalls. "One of his t-shirts had the misfits' skull on it. I stole it because it was cool." Graves won the job after an audition. A HIGH TIMES reader, the singer believes "everyone should smoke pot." He'd even like the band to play a weed benefit. "We might scare the hippies," Graves warns. "I don't know what we'd look like on acid." --END-- I've found it pretty interesting, especially the last part, actually it would be pretty dangerous hanging out with jerry and doyle after a hit of acid.. bye franz ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 21:14:35 -0800 From: Justin Deming Subject: sXe Guys, I', glad all this sXe stuff is in the MB... it's just one more thing to skip.

The sucky thing is, thanks to this, there are only so many non-Misfits bands that are Misfits-esque, and those that are tend to be knock-offs. My point is, why aren't their more fast/melodic/non-poppy shlocky b-movie inspired punk bands?!

Walley" Subject: sXe (misspelled sex?) Date: Wed, 13 Nov 1996 11:00:02 -0600 (CST) First off, this is my last post about sXe. (sorry Mark, just let me post this and I'll be off the debate) Second I'd like to say that I'm not anti-sXe in any way, I just take offense to the little "facts" that usually come spewing forth from the mouths of straightedgers. Humans have evolved not devolved into omnivores. Monkeys are basically vegetarians, but also their intelligence levels are not as high as ours. Fact- you need protein to live. Granted, you can get protein from other sources, but I don't think that people 1000 years ago took protein supplements. For all you Christians out there, Jesus ate meat! Fact (or opinion, however you take it)- animals are here for us to eat, just like Marijuana(oh, god) and tobacco are NATURAL plants that can be used for whatever reason. Listen to this piece of shit that I read somewhere: "Animals are my friends, and I don't eat my friends." That is downright pathetic. IF COWS WERE SMARTER THAN US, THEN THEY WOULD BE EATING US! but they're not Not eating red meat for health reasons is one thing. I can understand that. But not eating something because it is a life, fuck, plants are alive, man. You know what, too, Straight-edge Steve told me he was going to come to my house and kick my ass. So going by this, you can safely say that he is a hypocrite. "I'll kick your ass for disagreeing with me, because that's my belief, but I won't harm the unintelligent fish, cow, pig, etc..." Do you see what I'm getting at? Please just keep this bullshit in mind the next time one of those "straightedgers" talks shit. Anyone and everyone feel free to e-mail me about this, because personally I think this has gone on long enough on the bible, and I only posted 2 times about it. Once again, if you have legitimate reason for not eating meat, take no offense, because none is intended. I'm just talking about those mother fuckers who go on a campaign to not drink, smoke, eat meat, etc. I don't go around saying "Smoke pot, man, eat meat, it's fucking cool!", so why do people have to campaign for sXe-vegan? -itchy ------------------------------- Date: Thu Nov 14 04:27:30 1996 From: Jon Jorden Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #256 Hi hi hi hi Anyone got the Misfits boot "Blood" yet?

It was only about 5 songs (total of like 27 on the disk) and it was all older tunes like 138, Hatebreeders, and I couple others i forget.

I deal with enough conflict in my life and do not need to read more of it three times a week. Maybe some masochist will create a flame list so those who need the constant abuse can find it there three times a week. Ok, with the new Danzig fan club, its possible that the mailing list is made up of both Danzig force members and Angels of the Seventh Dawn. I was a member of both, i know that Jess was a member of AOTSD, Mark was a member of Danzig force, but not of AOTSD. Yet Brett did not get anything and was a member of AOTSD. Something is just weird about this. though i will find out. AZ, i know you weren't criticizing. I just hate to see people who don't know enough about the records to get ripped of. I collect a lot of shit, and i deal with people who seem to think that collectors are just plain ignorant. I was calling up a store to buy a piece for one of my collections the other day, i wanted not the piece advertised but another of the collection that all other stores that carried it had both at the same price. This place had one cheaper in the ad, i figured the other would be the same like anywhere else. This woman tells me the price of the other and it was much higher. I asked why, big mistake on her behalf. "I don't have to explain our pricing to you, now are you going to buy it or not." My answer, "Not with that attitude lady." Its as if how dare you know what you do as a collector, buyer should be dumb. not quite. I have found three types of Misfits sellers : 1) Knows what they have and will take advantage of it and you; 2) Knows what they have, but wants to sell their stuff and just get some money and make you happy too (long term trading works that way, i have had a relationship like that for the past 6 years) 3) Someone who has no real clue of the value, might pretend they know but not even close(got my rare stuff that way). We all have our opinions, and mine is just to treat all fiends the same and not to rip them off on records. Plus not everyone has to have a collection of all the vinyl to be a fiend either. I just like to collect stuff, it runs in the family. Neat thing here, the new sound mastering for the videos now is THX, which it even says the concept is from Lucas films.(yes plural i looked at the side of the box, so far seen it on Heavy Metal and My Fair Lady.) Oh AZ, you are right he calls himself Nikki, yet when i spoke to him on the phone and bought my WAU promo poster from him he told me his real name was Dave. He was in NJ but moved to CA with the band about 3 -5 years ago. I never got to meet him, and i hear from him every time he moves to a new place. His roommate was cool too, he sold me his Bullet 7". well that's it for now. hope everyone has a great weekend, mine looks like a big rain storm. its just unfair, people get cool weather snow, we get wind rain, and heat.

And let's address that other nasty rumor: Because of Jerry's comment "Bobby Steele is a homosexual" at the end of TEENAGERS FROM MARS, I've been harassed with countless messages on my answering machine. Recently, these calls have begun at my home phone (which is a carefully guarded secret # for this very reason). Except now these calls have gone from just immature harassment - to direct threats of bodily harm. The latest call threatens "If I see you; I'll bash your fuckin brains in, you faggot". Yeah. All this because of an ugly, slanderous (and untrue) comment made by JERRY ONLY. Most of you have heard this bootleg. It's time you understood the damage it has caused. Jerry has outright denied that he ever said this. You have the recording . . . you be the judge. The guy that most of you think is 'the nicest guy" has provoked violence against a person by way of homophobia. I've asked him to just come clean on this and admit that it was false . . . in order to stop the harassment. He has refused. > Bobbys got >some interesting theories as to the exact manner in which Glenn was >convinced to oust him, and Bobby's case looks stronger all the time. I told my theory to CG. I believe he confirmed that that was exactly as Jerry had boasted he got me kicked out. I'm trying to give MO a chance to save face and do the honorable thing. At this point, it's starting to look as if Glenn would be on my side in this argument. >From: Tarry Carapezza >Subject: Well, it was gonna happen.... > >A few people have mailed me privatly to critize me for the anti >white-power post.

He mailed me and told me that he writes all the cool >and Jerry writes the dodgy stuff like 'Doctor Phibes'. If Jerry ever LOL I can't agree with this more. Michale seems to have a much better grasp of what THE MISFITS were about. In a radio promo "BOMB" Jerry writes of THUNDER THRUSTER: "We opened with this song because we felt it would appeal to old MISFITS fans." For IN GOD WE TRUST, he states "We feel this is the path that THE MISFITS should have taken". Later in the same promo, he says; If you play our E.P. and for some stupid reason fail to see genius behind all of this then listen to "SPELLBOUND". "If this song does not sell you than (sic) nothing I ever do will. This much I know" Now BE VERY, VERY SCARED ! >From: "Dorin M.

Googie's alive and well, but he doesn't seem too happy with Jerry at this point. Seems J. O. made some promises in order to get Goog to help him beat Glenn and hasn't kept them. If you were at the party before the BOX SET signing, you might recall that Googy rollerbladed in; grabbed his coffins, and left.

Well I thought This was all cleared up, hmmm clear as Mudd huh? Well as it happens the Misfits were NEVER banned from Mudd. I just spoke and visited and was forced to endure the presence of the owner of the erstwhile Le Club Too Drunk To Move, Club Mudd, --that would be Steve Mass, you all-- and of course we talked about my old friends and fiends the Misfits...and he said, you know, I never really HATED them or banned them or anything...its just....they seemed like such a BAD INFLUENCE on you! Well he also fessed up to liking Bobby just fine, due to a moment of ineffable class where Bobby spontaneously shed his motorcycle jacket for a bright red tux jacket because black leather had been banned from the club that night. I dont know why but Steve just really hated Glenn and Jerry a whole lot for some reason. He found them humorless (I didnt). He refused to let me book that band (the Misfits circa 1979) at Mudd...uh, well, I was the fuckin BOOKING agent kids. Strangely he allowed bands as horrible as the Blessed *who sported a teenage Howie Pyro of D-Generation then and couldnt play to save their lives but they had ....that je ne sais quoi......* Tina Peel (later the Fuzztones) played there three or four times. There were NO fights between Rudi Protrudi and the Misfits. Rudi was TERRRIFIED of the Misfits for some reason unknown to man, and Tina Peel was one half FEMALE. I dont think that even the Misfits would fight GIRLS in 1979, I never ever saw Glenn Danzig hit ANYONE and I was a good friend of his for 3 yrs from 1979 to 81. Nor did I ever see Jerry or Joey OR Bobby ever hit anyone . I dont know how these rumor get started, but that is all they are --rumors. I remember those years quite vividly and since I was the booking agent -- and the one who lost her job after the fiasco where Glenn and Jerry were arrested at the Chelsea in 1979--i do believe I know what I am talking about. and yes, Glenn's real name is Anzalone. Why is that so hard to believe? Why does no one know who Slim Whitman is? I never heard WC Fields perform but if someone said that waS their real name, I'd figure they were pulling my leg.......

Tammy, or anyone else, the THX label you see on video cassettes and laser discs stands for Thomas Holiman Experiment. Tom Holiman is the guy that invented the Dolby Prololgic decoding scheme to more accurately reproduce the sound as it was mixed by the engineers. THX is also is a set of standards that manufactures must meet in order to be able to advertise their products are THX compliant and capable of producing the finest surround sound. I'm not going to go into more detail cause this aint the Home Theatre Bible .... Though he works for George Lucas, the name has nothing to do with the movie THX-1138 though it does seem more than coincidene. To verify for yoursleves, go to Yahoo and put in THX and go to his website. AZ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Nov 1996 12:44:17 -0800 From: Neil McAllister Subject: White Power Music groups, Santa Hats Terry Carapezza is not a Nazi, he's a net.cop. He's one of those people who thinks the Internet belongs to everybody except the people he thinks it doesn't belong to. Yes, Terry, this is "our" Internet, and that's exactly why we must be careful not to set any kind of precedent for restricting Net access to anyone on the basis of what they like to talk about. It'll start with "us" doing it, and then "we" will get lazy and let the government do it for us. We all trust the government, right? Besides, this is an "alt" newsgroup they're talking about forming. There really isn't any restrictions on who can create "alt" groups, unlike the rest of the hierarchy ("rec" and so on). That's where all the newsgroups like "alt.bored.my-cock.jerk.jerk.jerk" come from. Anybody can make them. These White Power guys were being civil enough to go through the formal process, and they didn't have to. (One benefit of going through the process is that your group is likely to be carried by more sites, but large providers like Netcom often just start carrying any group they get a "create" message for automatically). Personally, I think raising a big stink and saying "Everyone must be against this, everyone must vote against this"... well, that kind of makes you look just as bad as the White Power people. You think there's only one correct opinion in the world, and yours is it. That's where the charges of "Nazi" are coming from. If you're really dedicated to the cause of fighting the White Power movement, then you can go into White Power groups and try to educate people about the error of their ways all you want. But censorship will not stop the ideas you want to keep people from talking about. And finally, no -- "censorship" does not only refer to the government. Haven't you ever heard the term "network censors" referring to people who trim the content of TV shows to fit with network guidelines? That's one reason why the network TV you watch is so shitty. One reason some of the movies you watch are so shitty is because the MPAA ratings board arbitrarily decides what parts of a movie should and should not be shown. If someone wants to produce artwork, or commentary, on any subject, I believe he or she should have every right to print it up, send it off, or distribute it any way he sees fit to as many people as he or she wants, so long as he or she doesn't invade someone else's privacy in doing so. Just because someone says something, doesn't mean I have to believe it's good or true.
