Re: Where is my bible... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 21 Nov 1996 20:55:29 PST Subject: THERE AIN'T NO SANITY CLAUSE From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) Fiends, I sent out a post a few days ago about the upcoming TIMES SQUARE show at CBGB's on Saturday, November 30. Originally, this show was gonna be filmed for a documentary about female boxers, but they've had to postpone the shoot. The gig is still on and we'll be playing at 11pm. I know a lot of you will be coming in to New York that day to try to meet Glenn. Come down to CBGB's afterward and show us some support. Tell Glenn to come down - if he aint scared ; ) Here's something of interest to any tattoo fanatics out there: MARC RUDE is available, in the New York area until January '97 - for tattoos. Yeah. You can get custom artwork on your body from the same guy that designed lots of great album covers, including THE MISFITS. If you're interested; call him at 212 473-1877. >From: drodrigu@acme.highpoint.edu (Daniel Rodrigues) >Subject: Trouble Makers > >>From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) >>by JERRY ONLY. Most of you have heard this bootleg. >There is no doubt that is Jerry . I dont know why it has to be like this, >bobby. I always read about and hear about how jerry wants to talk to >Glenn and make up, cuz it should just be about music and nuthin else. Yeah. As far as I can see; it's all talk. I've asked Jerry to set this straight, and he's refused. That could make him culpable if any further harm comes to me because of this. (MR SEGAL ?) > >> At this point, it's starting >>to look as if Glenn would be on my side in this argument. > >I dont think Glenn would be on anyones side on this. The idea of Glenn >ever getting involved ended when he signed over those tapes. The question still exists as to whether Glenn had the right to 'sign over those tapes" without the permission of me and Joey also. What I meant to say was that Glenn may be pissed enough at Jerry, at this point, that he might actually back me up on some of these points. After all; his hatred toward me was based, solely, on Jerry's con act. >But I am >gonna say that you have been the bigger man about this. When I met >you at the action park show you were very nice to all the guys. That's because THEY had nothing to do with what Jerry did to me and THE MISFITS. They're great guys - from what I've seen. >I talked to both >Michale and CHUD about you and they both have no problems with you and >, as a matter of fact they think you are very nice. I watched you sseek >out Doyle that night and talk tto Jerry. Actually, I avoided Jerry, but did happen to exchange a few words when I bumped into him. I can't take listening to his phoney-baloney lies. I mainly wanted to talk with Doyle about his guitar, and to compliment him on his vast improvement - not to mention; I wanted to see if his wife had any more chocolate (she makes great chocolate). > I watched as you and Steve Zing argued , Actually, it wasn't an argument. It was just a lot of "what ? I can't hear ya", so we walked off to where it was quieter. > then took it off in private and came back friendly. I wish we >could get Steve Zing in here to talk about all this. It seems to me like >he was around and sort doesnt side with any one so he could be very >impartial. Yeah. Steve knows a lot. He can vouch for the fact that I approached Jerry about suing Glenn in 1985. > But Bobby lets say Jerry came out and apologized with you. >What then would you want him to do? Put as much affort into saving my reputation, as was put into destroying it. Make a series of pulic announcements declaring that all that talk of me being a fuck up and homosexual was bullshit, and anyone who still beleives it is an asshole - and to stop harassing me. I think some minimal stipend - to compensate for the damage to my career would be nice ( .5% of Merchandise royalties). > What do you think would happen? Jerry doesn't have the courage to admit his mistakes >Are you expecting to get back in the band? NO ! I have TWO excellent bands already. > . . . but that is kryst! That is the only >place it belongs. It doesnt belong in any misfits set. Michale knows >that, doyle knows that , and chud knows that, but I dont think jerry >knows that. As I said. >. And I just think >that maybe they didnt like Bobby. I mean didnt just Glenn and jerry >together all the time, and you bobby hung out with a different crowd. Glenn and Jerry rarely hung out - as compared to me. They didn't like my friends - who were real punks. When we played Max's, I got my own dressing room. >think that it is stupid to think jerry would have more powere cause he >didnt write the music! This was merely a suspicion I had after reading countless interviews, and putting it all together. CG has confirmed that Jerry has admitted to doing just that. I guess, in his quest for power, he forgot who the brains behindf THE MISFITS was. >When I hung out with you Bobby I thought you seemed like a normal guy a >very nice guy. I dont think you sound like a sales man or any kind of a >fake. Thanks again D-ROD. BTW, How're those bass lessons coming along ; ) >stuff you say(CG) damn I do dig your insight. Oh yeah where are my >picks? That might explain the 'crunchy bits' in my Duck 'la'Orange >One thing that many people dont realize is for 16 bit digital, you are >limited >to 65,536 variations of volume for any particular sound, whereas in >analog, the amount is infinite. Not really. Music has to be compressed in order to fit on vinyl. Vinyl doesn't have the dynamic range of digital. 65,536 variation of level aren't too bad when you think about it. >From: Franz Ardito >Subject: unbelievable! > >mr Steele: on your last message i saw you quoted me but you didn't >replied; >i'm very interested to know your opinion Well; as far as that article goes - I guess the writer may have gotten confused as to who said what. I occaisionally read High TImes. I remember her asking me those questions that were attributed to Michale. Although I didn't say that I think everyone should be allowed to smoke, I did say that it's about time it was allowed for prescription use - just as any other drug. I've offered my services for any medical marijuana benefits. Beleive it or not, the editor of HT is Straight Edge, but he was so struck by the facts of medical marijuana that he couldn't resist getting involved in such a good cause. I believe that pot should be legalized for medical purposes immediately. It is a violation of federal law to continue with this prohibition. Our government has already acknowledged the fact that marijuana has legitimate medical qualities. The DEA has refused to comply with the recommendations of their own Administrative Judge. Marijuana was outlawed as part of one of the biggest political scandals of all time. If Bill Clinton really "felt (our) pain" he would change that law himself. >i would like to drop a line about the nazi stuff on the bible: >in italy it's ILLEGAL by constitution to reform or to be part of >related to the old fascist party: The most intelligent thing Italy has done since inventing the PIZZA ; ) (except for CICCIOLINA) BTW . . . did you get your prize package yet ? >signing some autographs after a show.

These guys are awesome. Jerry was trying to get their singer to join THE MISFITS, but he said "I'm in a band that's up and coming - why do I want to join a band that's already come and gone" They have the kind of power that the original MISFITS had . . . and they do an amazing SKA version of MOTHER. >on the jerry/bobby/doyle issue, if jerry wanted bobby out to get more >control of the band, him and doyle, why the fuck did they break up then? >he had so much control, why didnt they keep on going after earth ad? Because, as Jerry has said, Glenn controlled the name. Not to mention that little thing about songwriting. At that time, Jerry wanted nothing to do with tHE MISFITS. read some of his old interviews. He puts the band down. He denounces them. It was the potential for money that I believe brought him back into liking THE MISFITS. >even if legal issues restricted them, dont you think they would have started >something else with googy? GOOGY was long gone at that time. He was playing in ANTIDOTE and doing LEVIS commercials. > i know jerry liked arthur, so why wasnt it those >3 and someone else doing the whole horror thing in 84, rather then kryst >failer years later? Probably for the same reason that Jerry didn't bring Googy back for the new band. Whatever that may be. You gotta read between the lines when it comes to Jerry. >at least bobby stuck to his roots. who knows. Hey ! Don't bring my hair into this ; ) >hey michale, change the order set list...please!

Jill's got the Turtles CD now. We're going to see them on New year's eve. A few years ago, they were really drunk and started ripping on Frank Zappa for pulling a Danzig/Only, and erasing everybody's tracks on all the MOTHERs reissues - so he could get away with not paying anyone. >From: R Hinojos >Subject: Bobby and Jerry > how could jerry be such a two-faced bastard? having read CG's stuff >several years now, i believe he wouldn't put shit in the Bible if it >weren't 100% true. sad to see that jerry is so bitter about bobby. > bobby, sorry to hear that such a stupid statement still haunts you. >i always thought jerry said it to act "punk" and that was it.

HEY HEY --- According to the interview between Glenn Danzig and Rob Zombie; THE MISFITS were a punk band. It seems like Jerry is the only one who thinks otherwise. I hope this settles that question once and for all. >From: Special-K >Subject: Misfits article in some mag > >Hey all, >I was on South St in Philadelphia today and I wondered into Tower >Books. > >One of the Mag's there had an article with the Misfits in. . .

Someone tell me if Im wrong here but who >was making albums and who was making knives from 83-94? This is another example of how Jerry tries to twist the truth - or should I say - create his own truth. He didn't make Glenn's career, but he'd like you to believe he did. >From: Mike Lunsford >Subject: jerry/danzig > >Hello, > Is it just me, or has the bible switched 'Fits to bash?

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS!? I guess it's what happens when people finally discover that they've been duped by someone they idolized. My question is: How many of you would think more highly of Jerry if he did come out and admit his wrongdoing against me. Rather than bashing him here; let's try to encourage him to do the "honorable " thing. > Bobby is a bad-ass >guitarist). I can't judge him cuz I havn't met him.

Jerry is good at executing the good ideas of other people, but he doesn't show much creativity - in the musical sense at least. . . >From: Misfit4798@aol.com >Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #259 > > . . . Finally while I'm thinking about it, is there any >chance that they will release the entire "Kryst the Conqueror" album >(13 songs), or the >"Max's X-mas" albums anytime soon? I just got off the Phone with Tom, at Caroline. It seems like they've been trying to get Jerry to release the ORIGINAL X-MAS tape (with MY guitar), but he's been very reluctant; so now they want to hear my live recordings from '79. At this point, these seem to be the only existing "fully intact" tapes of THE MISFITS from this era. Many of the songs from these two shows were not done for the X-mas show. It's about 20 minutes worth of different songs (some of the songs appear twice). If we were to combine this show with the X-mas show we'd have a killer collection. >From: "D.ETH" Subject: Texas is the >reason that the President's dead >doing so you have mid-wifed a new monster into the Bible (or perhaps >resussitated an old one), the dreaded Bobby vs. Jerry demon.

Do you know if the fiend > club is going to be doing any mailings any time soon? Do you know how soon > we can expect the new album from the misfits? I heard it may be February That song list from a few issues ago was real. A lot of those songs were written at the beginning of 1996, but haven't been played live yet. There are still other songs they have written that they haven't recorded or even mentioned. I doubt that the setlist will be exactly was it was listed, but most of those songs will probably be on the album. Right now the band is working on it and wants to have it done by February so that Geffen can put it out by May when they tour Europe again. As far as the Fiend Club goes, they haven't sent anything out since July, and that was just a postcard to certain regions of the US. They were supposedly at work on a newsletter, but I'm not sure at this point. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Nov 1996 01:25:15 -0500 From: "John 'I'm Going to a Danzig Concert, eventually' Smarsh" Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #260 > I'm a 12 year old boy who is a big Misfits fan.

Or if I find a beer along What I wanna know is: are people who write stuff like this for real??? Even if it IS a joke (and I am the BIGGEST jokester of all time and I'm not even sure) why post it?? It's ridiculous! Isn't it bad enough that we have people bitching about Glenn, that we need morons writing stuff like this???????????? Is this, or is this not, the Misfits Bible? Aren't we supposed to talk about stuff concerning the Misfits and related bands, like Danzig. How many of us would never have started to listen to the Misfits if it wasn't our love of the band Danzig? Michale's off base if he says "Fuck Glenn Danzig" and doesn't really know who he is, and what he started. I've said it before people, would the Misfits have been started WITHOUT Glenn? I'll be damned if I'd step in the shoes and take over a famous band, and then insult the guy who started it! That's like taking over Metallica, kicking James Hetfield out, getting up on stage, singing his songs, and then saying "Fuck James Hetfield" to everyone in attendance. Cut it out, guys. You especially Michale. Sorry, but I'm in a bitchy mood, and hate ignorant people. So I had to say what was on my mind.

It was Meticalla's turn to play and they played the Misfit's song "Last Caress". and earlier this week I found a version of "attitude" done by Guns and Roses on the Spaghetti Incident album. Both songs were the best works I've heard by either bands, Metallica's version was better than the Misfits (in my opinion) but Guns and Roses fell short even though it was still very good.

I think they definetly SHOULD tour with punk bands. I mean, I saw the Misfits /w CC and Antrax and it was LAME! Cannibal Corpse was one of the WORST freakin' bands I ever saw(and I seen shome SHIT), and anthrax were corny as hell in their own special way. Why don't they tour with one of the other American punk bands of their era? The Descendants are on the road right now. The Meatmen are still together. And how about FEAR? I don't know about you, but a Misfits/Fear double bill would be a dream come true for me. The point is, the Misfits' original auidence was the punk audience. If you look at old 'Fits videos, you won't see a bunch of long-haired headbangers, you'll see short spiky hair or shaved head. The only reasons the metal crowd got into the 'Fits was the metallica thing and the danzig connection(not sayin' that's bad, that's where i first heard em). The Misfits should be playing shows for the people who got them where they are, namely the PUNKS. -Eddie H. Tomb PS Jerry Only can say the Misfits aren't a punk band all he wants, but ya know what?

Reprinted word-for-word w/o permission; edited for space and to focus on Chuck. ---- SOCIAL DISTORTION POUNDS LOUD AND CLEAR By Sam Gnerre - staff writer [review of a SD concert at the Hollywood Palladium] [snip!] New drummer Chuck Biscuits (formerly of punk pioneers D.O.A.) proves to have been a valuable addition to the lineup. As well as bringing even more punch to SD's potent live sound, Biscuits also adds visual flair.

I was watching some of the very crazy MTV European Music Video awards. It was Meticalla's turn to play and they played the Misfit's song "Last Caress". and earlier this week I found a version of "attitude" done by Guns and Roses on the Spaghetti Incident album. Both songs were the best works I've heard by either bands, Metallica's version was better than the Misfits (in my opinion) but Guns and Roses fell short even though it was still very good. PS!!! put this in the Bible - it seems every time I try to send something to the bible - the person I send it to thinks it's a personal message to them. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Nov 1996 17:11:22 -0500 From: Matthew Strom Subject: Misfits on daytime T.V. No this isn't a joke. Today while I was on break at work I was watching the Jenny Jones show and it was about women who dress to skanky and their men hate it. One of the couples came out and the guy had a devilock. Not the beginnings of one but a full-fledge, gelled, pointy devilock. The guys at work made fun of it and said he needed a beating but I stood up for him. ------------------------------ From: KWard93399@aol.com Date: Fri, 22 Nov 1996 17:42:17 -0500 Subject: The Good, The Bad, and The Misfits First off, kiddos, I have great news! All of my vinyl has been found! All my original 7"s, 10"s, and 12"s. And I am not moving (this being the bad news.) This is one of the largest selections of punk rock that anyone has ever seen. Only Wax Trax and Bleeker Bob's can beat me! Just kidding, it's not THAT big. But I own over 30 'Fits boots, 8 Samhain boots, and about 6 early Danzig boots. Oh, and I will probably be selling the 4p LP when I get it back. IF anyone is willing to pay for it, let me know. I bought it at Wax Trax II in Denver (the used store) for pretty cheap, and it has a few scuffs on the jacket, but that was due to cheap cardboard in the jacket, not really wear and tear. Anyway, I don't want it. And I'll have the gold Earth AD again, better hang onto it, I guess? About "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone". It was originally written by two folk singers, who in turn sold it to Screen Gems, producers of the TV show The Monkess. The Monkees made it famous, The Sex Pistols covered it in the early days, and actually put it on The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle. When Minor Threat covered it, they thought they were covering a Sex Pistols song, but kept playing it after they found out it was a Monkees song. Incidentally, has anyone ever noticed Minor Threat are one of the VERY few bands that do not have the word The before their name?! I mean it COULD work but it doesn't sound right. >Re: Comparing Les Claypool and Jerry Only This is from the movie Empire Records. Of course, this script was written by someone who may have seen the Evilive poster on Saved By the Bell and saw Metallica wearing a t-shirt on the last CD or whatnot, and this being all they knew of our favourite band. They were arguing over whether Jerry or Les Claypool (of Primus) were a better bass player. Sorry Jerry, but... Hey don't worry, I was once accused of sounding worse than Doyle did at the Al's Bar '82 Show. Of course I was 15, drunk, stoned, and speeding, so... And speaking of the early shows...I have noticed many of you have said things to the extent of "I heard a bootleg CD of The "new" Misfits and Michale sounds like shit." OK, this may be true (I still have not seen or heard them) BUT, I am willing to bet that those of you who said this have not heard any of the bootlegs after Bobby left. The guitar was just, in one word...horrible. You're lucky if Glenn sang every other line, sometimes missing entire verses or choruses. Could someone PLEASE explain why Evilive sounds so damn good?! I swear this entire live album was overdubbed in the studio. One of the reasons for this, of course, was that almost all of the songs were being played at twice, and sometimes FASTER!!! than the original speed. In essence giving more energy while totally and utterly giving up technique. Although, I will admit that Halloween sounded really good on the XMas '81 Passaic, NJ show. (For those of you who are not familiar with every single show the band played before their demise, the guitar went completely out right about the time Glenn sang "Bonfires burning bright", and came back in at the very end of the song.) This is the reason why I honestly asked about 50 or 60 issues back, 'Has Doyle learned to play yet?' Given the fact that it's been 13 years, I believe he has. OK, I'm done. I'll do some more bitching in a week or so, I'm sure.

It had a little picture of the Misfits on the right hand side and a two page interview with Jerry Only. Then I picked up a copy of Ill Literature #12 and was even more surprised to see a 5 page interview with each of the four band members and a full page picture of Doyle jamming. Jerry's interview is the longest but the best has got to be Doyle's. Maybe because there aren't many interviews with Doyle. I won't go into detail on the two articles but I must say that they do answer many questions. From the custom made guitars, to legal battles, to Doyle's account of the infamous San Francisco incident (where Doyle accidentally hit a kid in the head with his guitar, it's all there. One interesting thing I read is Jerry Only's feelings for Metallica. Jerry says that part of the reason the Kryst the Conqueror full- length never came out is because he gave a copy of the cassette to James and Kirk of Metallica along with two guitars that he made. The cassette contained a song written by Jerry called "Wherever I Roam". Later on Metallica released a song called "Wherever I May Roam" and then went on to call their world wide tour by the same name. Jerry says that Metallica did not steal the song but stole his idea so rather than living in Metallica's shadow or whining about the alleged theft he decided not to release the album. I know that YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ so I was wondering if anyone had heard this. One last thing before I go. It may interest some of you to know that Doyle wrote "Talons of Steel" and it is about Alien Invasion. "Blacklight" is about vampirism. "Dead Kings Rise" is about Glenn ripping the guys off and them coming back and taking it all. The guy who wrote the Ill Literature article say he also has a full length interview with Jerry which was supposedly the first to announce the Misfits reunion. It is from his old magazine FeH.

It was THE punk cover for a long time (one of the easiest songs to play ever written). Vinyl: is not necessarily a better listening experience, but definitely better art and liner notes. And colored vinyl is very cool. Vinyl is also cool because, despite concerted efforts by the major record labels to kill it, it has survived. This is because people like it and are not brainwashed by the record industry's need to create new formats/profit centers so they can sell you the same music over and over again. Hate speech: Hate speech cannot be banned. Only speech likely to incite imminent violence or lawlessless may be outright banned. Since the Chaplinsky decision, a long time ago, virutally no speech has been successfully banned on this basis. You really have to direct a crowd of people to go kill and mame to have your speech banned. Ironically, hate-motivated crimes may receive a sentencing enhancement. This has been justified as a limitation on "conduct" not "speech." Hmmmm (?). Danzig 5: It does get better with more listens. For me, this usually means I will not get bored with a record as quickly as one that is instantly accessible. Your two cents worth: should always be put in, especially since it's the name of my band. --Adam ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Nov 1996 10:33:52 -0400 (EDT) From: "D.ETH" First off, Happy birthday CG, hope yours was as good as mine (also on 11/22).

They are hoping to include 17 to 18 songs on the album, and already have more than 30 to choose from. The album will is tentatively titled DEAD KINGS RISE and will hopefully be released on April 8th. All 4 band members and Daniel Ray took a vote last week on their top song choices for the next album. Here are the results: DEAD KINGS RISE --------------- 1 The Hunger 2 From Hell They Came 3 Blacklight 4 Resurrection 5 Speak Of The Devil 6 The Haunting 7 Dead Kings Rise 8 Walk Among Us 9 Dig Up Her Bones 10 American Psycho 11 This Island Earth 12 Mars Attacks 13 Don't Open Till Doomsday 14 The Death Of The Fallen Angel (written by Jerry) 15 Hate The Living, Love The Dead (written by Dr. Chud) 16 The Crimson Ghost (written by Dr. Chud) 17 Day Of The Dead (written by Doyle) Below is a list of some songs that probably won't make the album. Songs on this list will probably never be on ANY Misfits album and will probably never be performed live. Talons Of Steel (written by Doyle) Dr. Phibes Rises Again (intro may be used on album) The Creeps (written by Doyle) Till It's Gone (written by Jerry) Ghost Riders (may be re-written) Hellraiser (formerly titled Beware) Pit And The Pendulum (written by Jerry) No Guts, No Glory (a song that had been in Jerry's head for years) The Enemy (written by Michale) Pledge Of Vengeance (written by Dr. Chud and Doyle) Blue Skin Black Moon Rising (written by Jerry) Army Of The Dead The Dead Lie Of Air (written by Jerry) The band also began practicing 2 new songs today (Tuesday 11/26/96) that may make it to the album. They are: Shining (written by Michale Graves) Angel Baby (written by Jerry) There's also another song currently in the works called "Witch Hunt." Finally, Jerry mentioned that the band fully supports Jimmy Hart's use of the Crimson Ghost logo. Apparently he (Hart) cut the design from a Misfits shirt and put it on his jacket. So if you're watching WCW wrestling one night, don't be surprised if you see the CG. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Nov 1996 19:15:37 PST Subject: LIVE MISFITS ? From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) >From: KWard93399@aol.com >Subject: The Good, The Bad, and The Misfits >And speaking of the early shows...I have noticed many of you have said >things to the extent of "I heard a bootleg CD of The "new" Misfits and >Michale sounds like shit." >OK, this may be true (I still have not seen or heard them) BUT, I am >willing to bet that those of you who said this have not heard any of the >bootlegs after Bobby left. The guitar was just, in one word...horrible. You shoulda heard it when I was in the band. I fucked up, Jerry fucked up, Glenn fucked up. but Joey Image - "the junkie" was always tight as a drum. Caroline has shown interest in the tapes that I have. If these come out, you'll see - once and for all - that we were a fun band . . . extremely sloppy and unprofessional . . . but FUN. I isn't easy keeping it together when all you can hear is the ROARRRR of jerry's bass amp and nothing else to clue you in to the timing of the song. this is one of the awful ironies of live recording. It seems like you never record the good shows. >Could someone PLEASE explain why Evilive sounds so damn good?! I >swear >entire live album was overdubbed in the studio. You may be right. There IS a bootleg of that same show . . . called ATTITUDE. Someone should do a comparison. >'Has Doyle learned to play yet?' He's doin' fine by me. He even has the solos down. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Nov 1996 21:27:54 (EST) From: PRH Subject: Honesty is the best policy But hey Bobby, insanity is the best defense! > Subject: THERE AIN'T NO SANITY CLAUSE > From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) first D-Rod let us know.... > >From: drod ......... > >that maybe they didnt like Bobby. I mean didnt just Glenn and jerry > >together all the time, and you bobby hung out with a different crowd. and Bobby replied... > Glenn and Jerry rarely hung out - as compared to me. They didn't like my > friends - who were real punks. When we played Max's, I got my own > dressing room. Yup thats pretty much tha troooth. Glenn and Jerry DID hang out together a lot, but Glenn also had his own set of friends. Bobby was more of a 'punk scene guy', he was the one that would always be at whatever club was happening at the time (of course, I would be there first! :) jk Bobby) with the happening band ppl of the moment. Okay, maybe that makes him look a little superficial, but cool is cool. The ppl who were cool then are still pretty goddam cool in my opin. Hard to believe too, but the Misfits were NOT a popular band or considered cool at the time. they did attract an element that was a little unsavory as a rule. And as for the rest of the reports of 'early punk scene' life at the time, there was a lot of pot smoking going on too. Lots of pills too, but NO HEROIN~!!!! no matter what revisionists like Roderick McNeil swear. Basically there just wasnt a lot of money around for that kind of thing really. It wasnt unusual at ALL to see a spiky topped Easter chick looking kid smokin a doob at the time. That Minor Threat -SOA-Teen Idles sXe stuff came later. and then Bobby sez... > confused as to who said what. I occaisionally read High TImes. I remember > her asking me those questions that were attributed to Michale. > Although I didn't say that I think everyone should be allowed to smoke, > I did say that it's about time it was allowed for prescription use - just > as any other drug. I've offered my services for any medical marijuana > benefits. Beleive it or not, the editor of HT is Straight Edge, but he > was so struck by the facts of medical marijuana that he couldn't resist > getting involved in such a good cause. I was told by the publisher of HT (also a non pot head) that Bobby would be interviewed for this issue, mainly having caught the eye of the editors because of his activity in the medical marijuana front. I gave this (reliable) info to MSK4m so he could spread the word. But Xena (the writer of that article) ws a little confused as to who was where when in the Misfits. Punk rock is obviously not her thing. He (the publisher) was very surprised when he read the finished interview. He felt that Bobby should have not been buried in the text. But he's the publisher, not the editor and just because he'd known Bobby for roughly 20 yrs was no reason to rewrite Xena's article for her. I read the article and even bought several copies, and I don't think that anything Michale said was so bad. Leave him alone. BTW I don't like drugs myself as they've cause a lot of pain to my family but I sure don't pass judgement in that regard. Whats right is right, and whats fair is fair. which brings us to...... My final word on the the Bobby vs. Jerry debate for the record. Jerry's the one who told me that shit happens, and shit happened to Bobby. I felt this was wrong. I was surprised but it, because I always felt that Jerry was a standup guy, and Bobby and I were'nt that close all those years ago. Bobby was a lot shyer then, and I was a lot MORE outspoken and opinionated ;) in those days. But having been told what I've been told by three of the parties directly involved, I believe that Bobby was wronged and Jerry should be the righteous man I remember from 1979 and shake hands and get over himself. It was wrong to lie about somebody in 1979 and its wrong to lie now in 1996. 'Be as your fancies teach you: what ere you be, I am obedient.

Many (most) of the pictures on the pictures page and many of the back issues of the Misfits Bible have been unavailable for a few weeks.

I'm going by memory, but I think that's what is states on >the Doyle fan club poster. Correct. However, Rand was their own label. There is a guy out in california named Rand, He designed the technical end of it, placement of frets, neck, etc... That's where the name came from, but they made the guitars right there at Proedge. The early ones were real shit heaps. I remember Jerry's bass had a fret about a cunt hair off, every time you hit that fret you would cringe. He also made what he called a Studio Bass. this was a a pretty nice guitar. I guess he made it so he didn't have to borrow the Jazz from Bobby anymore. Me! McFly wrote: >>Does anyone know who wrote Steppin' Stone? >I believe it was a sex pistols song. correct me if i am wrong. Jesus!!! TAPDANCING Christ already... Did you know that Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings? then Tim Cotter went on: >Steppin Stone-originally recorded & written by M.Dolenz of the >Monkees- It To lay this issue to rest once and for all... btw: these things can be easily solved if more of you would just read the goddamn credits. (I'm not your) Steppin' Stone, although originally recorded by the Monkees, was not written by Mickey Dolenz. The song was written by the famous songwritting team of Boyce & Hart. Boyce & Hart wrote the majority of Monkee hits. Steppin' Stone is a *very* popular cover. Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers covered it prior to the Sex Pistols. I have a CD of this from early '77 live at CBGB's with Richard Hell playing bass. It is credited properly on this album as it is on Rock'n'Roll Swindle. Among other Monkee songwriters are Carole King who wrote 'Pleasant Valley Sunday' and Neil Diamond who penned 'I'm a believer'. A minor point of interest here, for those that live near the Oranges in New Jersey: Pleasant Valley Sunday was inspired by the street Pleasant Valley Way which connects Millburn with West Orange, which of course is where Carole King lived at the time. Someone said: >>still make the great music they do, would you not like them. A >>large number of people throughout history that have been considered >>brilliant have been some of the heaviest drug users ever. Gotta agree here, absolutely, people like Edgar Allan Poe, Samuel Coleridge, Gauguin and Matisse. Hoon and Cobain rather pale in comparison, wouldn't you say? Mark S said: >I just can't picture the Misfits decked out in their leather jackets >with 10 inch spikes with a bong saying "pack another bowl bro!". Now >that he was misquoted, I can forget the whole thing. Why does it make a difference if he was misquoted or not? Who cares what his views are on certain issues? Why on Earth can you "forget the whole thing," now that he's been misquoted? My point being what difference can it possibly make in his ability to entertain? Why are so many of you so intolerant of such insignificant things? I could see everyone getting all bent if it seems that Michale Graves stated 'I molest children AND smoke pot!' but he didn't, and even the most conservative of us are in favor of decriminalizing certain drugs and legalizing others (even Wm. F Buckley shares this line of thought). Eddie Said: >PS Jerry Only can say the Misfits aren't a punk band all he wants, >but ya know what? HE'S WRONG!

Almost a month ago I was watching Waxwork II on that Up All night show on USA. It was being hosted from a big vampire party at some club where all the vampires got together and listened to bands and stuff. Some guy was describing to the host of U.A.N. the diferent types of vampire. He came to this one guy and said something like, " This is a Misfits type vampire as in the band The Misfits." Of course the host had no idea what he was talking about, but I did. Well, I thought that was pretty cool, if you think that this post is just taking up space, oh well, It's not that often that you see a Misfits allusion on national TV. Later. ------------------------------ From: mk Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #261 Date: Mon, 25 Nov 1996 00:59:15 (EST) > From: KWard93399@aol.com > Subject: Prices > So, I have an idea.

Why have anything to do with this band if you hate them so much? And no, it's NOT like Metallica. James Hetfield has been in that band for over 13 years. Glenn was in The Misfits for what? 6! If Michale makes it to 2001 will you accept him, then? Then again, as much as I hate metal, Jason Newstead is still not accepted in Metallica by many older fans. He has been in that band 10 years. Cliff was there for 3. YES, Bobby, I totally agree. Everyone involved with The Misfits says that they are a PUNK band, except Jerry... Sorry, Jerry, but even though you guys don't have lyrics like "All religions suck, all religions make me wanna throw up" or "Fight war, not wars" you are, and have always been (except maybe that '82-'83 period) a punk rock band.

'Talons Of Steel' - actually, hearing the subject matter does kind of change my impression of the title, but it still kinda reminds me of one of those awful 1980's metal titles. I'm having flashbacks to my youth! Aaaarrrghh!!!! Is that a Samson record I hear? Call Lars Ulrich. 'Blacklight' is one of my favourite Misfits tunes yet, as is 'The Haunting'. It seems like it's now trendy to attack the Fits again, but I'm not gonna jump on that bandwagon... the new stuff I've heard so far has been cool, apart from 'Dr.Phibes', which I'm really not too sure about just yet. I guess I'll reserve my judgement until I hear the record in it's entirety. Talking of which - now that I've given 'Blackacidevil' time to sink in.... I gotta say it's the best Danzig record by a MILE. What's the fuss about? Yes, it sounds a little different, in terms of performance, but the atmospherics, the lyrics, the attitude, are all Danzig to the core. It's a really evil sounding record... totally badass. I love it. '7th House' makes me want to hurl myself at the wall, and 'Come To Silver' is AMAZING. >Danzig 5: It does get better with more listens.

The cool thing about the shop is that they deal primarily in vinyl (new and used), and ALL punk! Even the owner is a fiend! Anyway it seems like a descent place, and its not another store with a bland selection of strictly mainstream music and only Collection II in the Misfits section. Does anyone have any info on upcoming 'fits shows?

As a matter of fact, they wrote almost all of stuff for the Monkees. Outside of that, the only other thing I ever heard out of them was when I saw them on an episode of "Bewitched" and they were singing as a duo. I forget if it was a Monkees song or not. The song has been covered ad nauseum. Minor Threat did it. The Untouchables did it. And the Sex Pistols before them. And a million and one garage bands. I think it ranks right up there with "Louie Louie" and "Secret Agent Man" as one of the most covered songs. But Boyce and Hart wrote it.

It was made up of Ian MacKaye (more lately of Fugazi), Steve Hansgen, Lyle Preslar and Brian Baker (more lately of Junkyard [snicker] and Bad Religion). Lyle and Brian did some work for Danzig during the Initium/Samhain days, I can't remember the tracks off hand. Even talked about being his bandmates but it didn't work out. Kickass hardcore, IMHO.

It's missing the front cover, though. Second, I recently got a Danzig promo. It's nothing special. I'll see what I can do about getting extra copies for some of you guys kward--Unfortunately, a truly accurate price guide is impossible to do. Example, I hold all my records to be very close to me and if for some reason I HAD to sell them, I'd try to get as much as possible. I'd probably try selling my Glenn autographed first press Unholy Passion for $75. Is it worth it? Hmmm. I think it is, do you? Maybe not. Most people may not. Or....yeah $75 is a relatively good price, but who's going to pay that much? It's all a matter of perspective. I found a picture CD Thrall w/ the Mother CD-5 for $20, I probably would've paid more if I had to. I think the price guide on the page is good enough. However, I am e-mailing you what I think the stuff is worth. ADAM--please check the Web page you will find my list of audios and Dirt's list of vids.

Me and my friend joe were watching when they showed a six man tag match. down at ringside was a guy, we couldn't see who, but he had on a jacket with the crimson ghost skull on the back, it was huge. moments later while we were saying, oh boy wait til we post this sighting, jimmy hart and the faces of fear (somethin like that) came out for a tag match. when they got to ringside, hart turned around and there it was. jimmy hart had on a crimson ghost suit jacket. the shoulders of the jacket were covered by plastic skulls with blinking eyes. pretty fucking funny, this guy used to manage the honky tonk man, who's next... ...slim whitman? later days j* jack ****** ****** ****** jack? jack is dead my friend. you can call me...

It's really a silly issue and I didn't think it was worth bringing up but it keeps nagging at me like other unimportant things: IRS payments for back taxes, unpaid speeding tickets, well you get the idea... Anyways to get to the point someone mentioned (in a review of Danzig 5) that the new album was such a departure from his previous releases that he should have changed the name... later someone replied that changing the band's name was stupid because he changed the name to Danzig so that he would never have to change the name again... Well the reason I remember Glenny giving for changing the name to Danzig was that Rick Rubin said that it was a more marketable name than Samhain... I also recall Glenny saying that the Danzig lineup was basically what he wanted Samhain to be, but at the time Samhain formed Chuck was busy Circle Jerking and John was as of yet undiscovered... maybe he's given a different reason for the name change since then, but I remember reading this around '89-'90... can anyone else back me on this?

Many of whom have probably gotten "out" of the Misfits (or "scene"). And on a side note: Would it not be the "new" (as well as old) fans who have gotten the "Ressurection" ball rolling?

Yet another cool song by a "metal" band, and yet another reason I shouldn't be let into the next Misfits show. My Misfits CD's etc. lay next to my Deicide, Morbid Angel, and, yes, NIN. Music should be a fan thing, rather than a "punk", "label", "I'm more into them than you", thing. I have wasted enough space, but let me say that I have seen the Misfits 4 times since May 1st 1996, and I am happy to see them at all, Glenn or no Glenn. And let me say, I am not qualified to comment on the Bobby Steele thing; but I do have the bootleg where the inflammatory comments were made, and anybody who took that comment seriously enough to make threats to a person is a fool indeed. This is in no way saying the comments were justified,(sh*t, I thought it was Glenn when I first heard it) My point being; people screw up, and hopefully, try to make it right...

Subject: My brain is melting... Hello to all the fiends out there in bibleland... First i did get the 7th House promo cd and it seems that it was the first promo since it points out on the back that it is of the forth coming album blackacidevil. the songs are: 7th House, Hand of Doom: version*( written by Butler, Iommi, Osbourne, Ward - Essex Music International inc. ASCAP), and Hint of Her Blood. coding is PRCD-10657-2. the cover is the drawing that Glenn did of himself and the Danzig skull together as one. the back is the same but in a dark grey over black, white text. As fot the promo patches, they are black with white text - says Danzig and Blackacidevil. they are small rectangles. next - Jason, you have both Halloween and Samhain mixed together there, but you are close. Samhain is pronounced(not to be picky) sow-en which is Gaelic for summer's end. the link between Samhain and Halloween are several. one being the dressing up part was an imitation of fairies, G-ds and G-desses who were said to travel in the guise of mortals during Samhain, going from house to house seeking hospitality. if they were given such then they would bless the house, if not then they would wreak havoc on that house. there is a lot more about the holiday and how we came to Halloween, yet most people who seriously observe the holiday consider it a separate holiday from Halloween. Plus Samhain is never on the same day year to year. the way that Halloween is. Larry thank you and you must have noticed that Adam did not even post this time around!!!

I can't be as HEAVY as Jerry is. I can't afford the food (sorry. I couldn't resist the pun). How can you say THE UNDEAD sucks, and I'M riding on THE MISFITS coattails - when EVERYBODY KNOWS that THE UNDEAD has sold a good amount of records, while Jerry's band, KRYST THE CONQUERROR (now known as THE MISFITS . . .) was a total failure. ACT YOUR RAGE - a punk record that came out when punk was very unpopular - received limitless good reviews; while DELIVER US FROM EVIL (that's Jerry's record - the one with the "features ex-MISFITS", but Bobby and Glenn are banking on the name -sticker) was slammed. In fact, that CD did so poorly that Jerry had to resort to using the name of a band, that he had previously put down, in order to acheive any success. To quote members of the DWARVES, when THE UNDEAD opened for them in Tampa, Fl in 1982 "It's an honor to be on a bill with a TRUE LEGEND" >shut up!!! but of course all you know how to do is boo hoo like a >girl, and all of you other jerry bashers can do the same, If anybody is bashing Jerry - it's of his own doing. He told lies about a person, and he's been made aware of the damage - yet he denies ever saying that. Are you stupid ? haven't you heard that bootleg ? It has been identified by many people as Jerry's voice - yet he says he never said it. This is how he respects YOU, his fan. He thinks you're so stupid that you can't tell when he lies. I don't want to see Jerry bashed here, but I do want Jerry to show some courage and dignity and stop cowering behind lies. I don't BOO HOO. I FIGHT BACK ! ! ! I also defend Jerry and Glenn when they're unjustly criticized in here. I fully stood behind Jerry when he did that show in Cleveland without Michale. I even debated it with CG - who thinks it was a big scam - for some time afterward. > I've met you >bobby in austin and yo uwere one of the biggest dorks i have ever met >and i met jerry in houston and he is one of the coolest guys i have met, >so go grabs some kleenex and wipe the tears away , you stupid >has-been. You met ME in Austin ? That's pretty fuckin' good - considering I've never been to Austin. MAybe this was the same "Bobby Steele" that was reported to have approached some punks, wearing UNDEAD t-shirts in Hudson County, NJ in 1990. THIS "Bobby Steele" told the kids "if ya wanna hear a really GOOD band, check out these guys" and he'd toss them a bunch of KRYST stickers. So what's your problem ? You know you couldn't have met me, but you come right on this page and LIE through your teeth. I know people in Austin, like TIM STEGALL, of THE HORMONES. He's a well known journalist also. He can tell you that I've never been down there. He can also vouch for my integrity.

KWard93399@aol.com replied: >Then why read this? Why have anything to do with this band if you >hate them so much? And no, it's NOT like Metallica.

Then >again, as much as I hate metal, Jason Newstead is still not accepted >in Metallica by many older >fans. He has been in that band 10 years. >Cliff was there for 3. Wrong again loser. It's people like you that really fuck this list up. Why don't you spend more time reading and less time looking for something to complain about. The original poster (John) did *not* say anything terrible about Michale Graves, he simply said that it is wrong for Michale to insult Glenn Danzig. (it is ALLEDGED that Michale says "fuck Glenn Danzig" on a bootleg) John used Hetfield as an example cause it's congruous to the Misfits' situation. Jason Newstead on the other hand has never said a bad word about Cliff, as a matter of fact Jason always lists Cliff as a major influence. More likely than not Jason was Cliff's biggest fan. Have you ever heard Jason Newstead say at a concert "FUCK CLIFF BURTON" Have you ever heard Brian Johnson say "FUCK BON SCOTT" ??? As much as David Gilmour HATES Roger Waters, you never hear him enticing the crowd with such nonsense. Brian Eno literally hates Bryan Ferry...well never mind if you're reading this you're too dumb to like intelligent music, sorry EVB! Why? because they respect the bandmembers that came before them. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT MICHALE WOULD SAY ANYTHING THIS IRRESPONSIBLE. Michale has never said a bad word about anyone in the band, as a matter of fact he stuck up for Bobby. So What's the scoop Michale? is it you or audience members? Instead of just posting that ridiculous banter you usually do how about answering a serious question. The point that John was trying to make is this: YOU DO NOT INSULT THE PERSON THAT WROTE EVERY POPULAR SONG YOU ARE PERFORMING. How many people would go see the Misfits if they don't do the older stuff? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, the crowd will be cut in half. Either way there wouldn't be enough fans to support the gig. Face it the Misfits, whether or not they want to believe it, are living in Glenn's shadow. For anyone in the Misfits to publically belittle Glenn's contribution would be akin to biting the hand that feeds them. eddie said: >ENOUGH ABOUT THE DAMNED MONKEES SONG "STEPPING STONE"!

I saw it on "The Box" It starts off with Glenn crawling thru a tunnel singing and crawling, then the first time he says "I wanna bring it!" the scene changes to a "live" preformance in a cement pit. (Sacrafice pit? I believe so.) People are jumping into the pit, the band is wailing, and then Glenn gets tied up by the wrists in black leather straps, he is slowly raised high above the crowd and then lowerd (sacraficed) into the crowd.

You must not be terribly bright if you missed the rather obvious point I was making. I'm saying that it's wrong for the Misfits to be turning their back on the punk audience becuase w/o the punk audience, the Misfits would be nowhere(this was, incidentally, in response to a specific question about whether or not Jerry had "turned his back"). Anyway, I think it's silly for a punk band like the Misfits to tour with cheese-core bands like Anthrax or a band like Cannibal Corpse which is so bad it's funny. > > KWard93399@aol.com wrote: > >"Misfits, Twilight Zone, R-A-M-O-N-E-S, Ramones!" - Motorhead, > >"R.A.M.O.N.E.S." > > Yet another cool song by a "metal" band, and yet another reason I > shouldn't be let > into the next Misfits show. Actually, now that you mention it, you probably shouldn't be let into the next Misfits show, simply because you'd considerably lower the room's collective I.Q. Did I ever say that metal is "uncool"? No, but the fact remains that it makes about as much sense for the 'Fits to play with metal bands as it would for them to play with reggae bands. They're just not the same style of music. Suppose a reggae band covered last caress and them all of a sudden all the reggae fans were into the Misfits, would it make any more sense? Nope. >My Misfits CD's etc. lay next to my > Deicide, Morbid Angel, > and, yes, NIN. So you like one good band and several cheesy ones? I'm proud of you. Anyway, if you think it's cool of you to like only one punk band, namely the Misfits, then you're just silly, because if you like the Misfits, it would follow that you would like other bands in their genre. Why not check out some other punk bands rather than sit on your high horse and disrespect people to whom punk means something? You may not dedicate yourself to anything, but some people do, so don't come down on us for that, fuckface. > Music should be a fan thing, rather than a "punk", > "label", "I'm more > into them than you", thing. > What are you quoting?

As far as good early Gang Green I recommend picking up the album "This Is Boston Not LA" It is basically a compilation of more music from the bands involved in the "Unsafe at Any Speed" EP in Boston in the early 80's (a record that today is worth something like $300). The quality of the sound is incredible given that most of it was recorded before the advent of CD's, and overall it is a pretty incredible exihibition of raw, angry punk rawk. Of note to fiends, one of the bands also on TIBNLA is the FU's who played with the Misfits a couple of times in the early 80's in the Boston area. Now on to Fear and Flea. To the best of my knowledge Flea was in Fear sometime in the early to mid eighties, and I beleive it is he skanking in front of his band mates on the inside of the cover on the Fear album "Live...For The Record" a live album recorded in 1986. If this is Flea then I also assume he is the one playing bass on the album although no bassist is listed in the band lineup. I don't know if he was new to the band at the time of the recording, or if it had to do with the fact he wasn't in the band anymore when the album was released (1991). If nothing else buy the album just because its Fear live, and kicks a lot of ass. I know Fear's latest album isn't as great as previous ones, but I saw them in Philly last year and can safely say Lee Ving can still pull off a live show like few others.

LP and "Evil is as Evil Does" 7" was obviously from the soundboard, so who knows what went out? I think it was the guitar that went out, and yes Glenn does say "We'll do that one later, when the bass is on." Mark, what can I say? Oops, didn't know someone had already done a price list. Gotta check it out. I've never really been ripped off (except my first piece, a marble green Beware 7" that I gave a German promo copy of Derek and the Dominoes' "Layla" in M/NM for. Hey, it was my Mom's anyway!) but I am getting sick of hearing about kids paying $400+ for the "Beware! the Misfits" EP. Listen up, everyone! There are as many copies of Beware as there are gold Earth AD CDs and Coffin Box Sets! Those go for $75 each, and you should NEVER pay more than $200 for a MINT Beware! Then again, I've always been lucky! (I won a M- Horror Business (yellow wax, no insert) 7" for $100 last week! Now I just gotta cough up the auction money!) To whoever the fuck it was that put Bobby down, go die! What was the point of that? We've heard it before again and again year after year. ENOUGH! Oh, and about FEAR/The Misfits, I have one word NO-FUCKING-WAY! I saw FEAR in Boulder, Colorado on March 1st, 1995. This show was cram-packed (The Glenn Miller Ballroom on the CU Campus, across the street from Jello Biafra's elementary school, holds maybe 200 people MAX, Ticketmaster sold over 1000 tickets!) and consisted of 500 Punk-rock-Americans, 500 Nazi-Americans, and 1 African-American (PC enough for everyone?). The asshole next to me spit on Lee Ving, and Lee Ving walked off stage. The asshole Nazi behind me shouted "Nigger" and twelve skins immediately jumped the guy on my other side. It was a near race-riot at a show that was definately oversold. There was no way to get out of the pit at this show (at least not in the first 30 feet away from the stage. I managed to stay nailed against the front rail the whole time.) and people were definately getting hurt. After the show, my fiancee, three friends, and I were walking to her car (we just HAD to be the only group of people with the punk-as-fuck look [i.e. dual liberty-spikes, neon green hair, Doc's, you know the look!] and a group of 20-30 skinheads jumped us as we were getting in the car. My fiancee got three broken ribs as a result of that. The point is, this is standard for a FEAR show. If anyone needs to understand how Lee Ving not only brings, but encourages massive violence at these shows, watch The Decline...of Western Civilization. That's not TV, that's every FEAR show it has been my pleasure to see. Before I get flamed let me say three things here. 1.) I'm Jewish, so I don't particularly enjoy going to Nazi-festivals. This is the only major problem I have with the whole idea. FEAR are not a Nazi band, but have the largest White Power following I have ever seen of any band other than Skrewdriver. 2.) I LOVE FEAR! They are one of the greatest bands of all time, and Lee Ving is a talented actor (Masters of Menace, Clue). This isn't because I don't like the band. 3.) I am 6'2 (6'5 in Docs) 165 lbs so this isn't a matter of me being small in frame and being pussed out at the sight of the pit. I have been in Samhain, Celtic Frost, Anthrax ('86), Suicidal Tendencies, Meatmen, Danzig, and Obituary (among countless others, but these are the ones that are always reputed to be violent, and believe me they are!) slam pits (known as mosh pits for the last 6 or 7 years, I guess) and I can definately handle my own there, but this was insane.

I heard Glenn Danzig is doing a tribute to Micheal , whoooo, and was going to put it out on Hollywood records! Instead of the silver gloves, Glenn is going to wear his skull gloves, and instead of the the zipper jacket, he's going to add zippers to his rubber shirts. The album is supposed to be called Thraller (or so I've heard). Can anyone back this up? I don't know but Glenn singing Billy Jean, and Beat It seems a little weird, but what do I know. He's going to have Eddie Van Halen do most of the guitar tracks. Also, Glenn plans on doing the Super Bowl this year.

Subject: The interesting, the demented and the stupid... Hello to all the fiends and certain Fo(assholes)ols... i hope everyone had a nice holiday, though i have to say 21 people stuffed into your house for dinner is a bit much. First off, as far as prices on origianl Misfits records i don't believe in Price Guides. I have never paid for a single piece in my collection that fits into any guide i have seen. pretty much it depends on who you are dealing with. if you buy from a record store who knows what they got, like a Metro Music, Green Hell Records, etc yes you will be paying full price that goes in line with someones guidelines. Vinyl Ink, does not do that all the time. i got three of my 7"s from them for good prices. Some record stores will even do trades and part cash. Trading is nice but you have to know your punk and hardcore records to do this. Or you will be screwed so quickly its not even funny. i checked out ads and what people where selling the other bands for and quickly learned what was valuable and most wanted in trade for the Misfits. Plus i made my mistakes too, like selling my Victims Plan 9 7", which i paid only $20. it was cash, and trade(my #ed Evilive) and now some guy in Japan has my 7". there are lots of record stores and people who don't know or don't care about the Misfits and that is how i got a lot of stuff for really cheap. You just have to look around in ads, also Maximum Rock and Roll and Flipside helps too. One of the guys i trade with to this day i found in MRR. It was a lot of fun when i would trade with this guy, he would collect Misfits stuff get upset since he liked Subpop records, sell me all his Misfits stuff for cheap and buy all the Subpop collectors singles, this went on for three year. he finally got off the rollercoaster when he got married last year and now collects stamps. Basically you are not going to get all originals overnight, unless you have thousands of $'s to plunk down in one shot. though that is was i heard with one kid back in 1989, he bought for $1000 the pink vinyl Legacy from Sal in NJ. funny, Sal i hear is now selling Toys - Godzillas and other japanese stuff. D.eth - i just don't see Bobby as the type waiting for Santa with a tree in his apartment. Though maybe if he looked like Jerry and left him a check for the royalties that are owed to him, but that is a different story. Though that in itself is a scary thought, Jerry dressed as Santa. "Gee Santa you are sporting some nifty spikes, some wicked hair, and boy what big glasses you have.(shit, wrong story, this sounds more like red ridding hood!) *THIS PERSON IS POSTING WITH VERY LITTLE GREY CELLS LEFT* Oh, and i see that one person had to post bitching about Bobby, please till you have actually talked to Bobby, was part of the whole Misfits thing like Patricia, worked for Jerry like CG did, or is involved up to his eyes in Misfits stuff like Mark, just shut the hell up! This is not our fight and all you are doing is wasting bible space to trash the guy. well i don't think i'm leaving out anything of importance, was probably a waste of time and didn't need to be addressed. hope everyone has a great weekend.

In case you don't know, Mourning Noise was another great Lodi band, featuring Steve Zing on drums. Bobby Steele also played on their first 7" as did Mike Morance (then known as Ashley Morance). Their singer was a guy named Mike Mansfield who had a similar singing style to Glenn Danzig. In fact, there's a certain record store up in NJ that even sold old Mourning Noise demos as unreleased Misfits tracks. Mourning Noise put out one 7" while they were together and then broke up when Steve and Pete Marshall joined Samhain. Their unreleased stuff is even better than the stuff on the first 7". Their song titles are similar to old Misfits tunes, and the music is fast paced... It's great that their stuff will finally be coming out. Also - Steve Zing's new band Chyna just put out a new EP. This EP has 4 songs on it and is heavier than the stuff on the first album. If you're interested, write to: FLX Records PO Box 948 Lodi, NJ 07644-0948 1000 copies were pressed and Steve's already had to order a second pressing. Be sure to check out Chyna's home page at: http://www.eclipse.net/~vulcan/chyna.htm mark ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Nov 1996 12:12:28 -0500 (EST) From: PRH hmm, the plot thickens... > The band will finish up signing with Geffen in the next 2 days, but > it's pretty much a done deal. They are currently working with Geffen > producer Daniel Ray on the next album, which Jerry is very excited about. Hey Mark is that Daniel REY? maybe? Like as in Daniel Rabinowitz? He's the erstwhile producer for the Ramones and a pretty good songwriter in his own. I talked to him October 95 and he didn't know who the Misfits were even (he did know who Danzig was tho). He's got great instincts and good chops musically so if they listen to him they could really go far. He's been involved musically with greats like Walter Lure (ex Heartbreakers) and the like. Bobby don't you remember Danny from Shrapnel? That's our boy! --------- > "You dirty sod. What a fucking rotter." - TV History "Nothing, nothing,-- just a rude word!" What a great moment of TV history. ---------- Ryan, there's a terrific and informative description of the seasonal holiday Samhain on MSK's WWW page, under the Samhain Book. You're almost right on, but there's more and not quite as sinister as you paint the holiday. Our brave Celtic ancestors (where are you Benito Todd???:( ) didn't fear death or the dead (well maybe the Grateful Dead, as we all should) the way our Christian society seems to. Most of them welcomed death and the release from life's bonds-- not a bad outlook if you ask me. --------- Well lucky me, I'm looking forward to hanging with the wonderful sexmachine Jake Starr this holiday weekend. If any of you fiends havent heard his fab fan club 7" 'Halloween/She b/w Search and Destroy' you really should. It's faithful, but not too faithful, Jake's vocals being a little grittier and humanoid that Herr Danzig. Nice segue, too, into 'She' with a neat little nod to Wire with Jake barking out 'one, two, X U!'. I dig it the most. wire (hee, hee) him for info, jyas@loc.gov and give him the nod. and also....

Does anyone know what that NEW Misfits CD is at CDNOW, It's just called MISFITS? This bible thing is too long, I never can read all of it, I think that it should be a Misfits bible, I think that stuff should be cut out, stuff that has nothing to do with the Misfits. The Jerry Only-Bobby arguments are good because it's Misfits related but all that malarky about Straight Edge and The Nazi newsgroup is a waste of our time. It should not be put in. I'm on here so I can here news on the Misfits and all the other stuff it provides. I don't care to here this and that about unrelated subjects and I don't like skipping stuff.

I'm sure you have it all so you can afford to be a dick. I've got a few responces already, and you can't argue that those prices aren't cheap. Actually I admit - I've made 145.6 million dollars from my post. Kiss my ass. Jerry has his correspondance address for merchandise at the bottom of the page, cdnow has outlets from the web page - where are people going to get vinyl??? - From overpriced traders on the net that claim everything (eg EAD Gold disc) is worth stupid amounts??? By the way I've got Legacy of Brutality in stock now too!!!!!!! Point being - don't get down on me - if you had the same outlets I do you'd probably do the same, as for my boss - he could give a shit (except for the 145.6 million we made !).

Tammy, I checked, and it WASN'T glenn who drew himself as the skull for the picture on the Danzig 5 cd and booklet. In G.O.T.H. #1 there is a message from Glenn dated 11/1/95, saying that he just finished the final mixes on the abum (only took another 362 days to get it out eh?) and anyway, below the message is the same drawing, with "Illustration by Martin Emond" written below it. so there you have it... BTW after the "In Your House: Buried Alive" Pay-Per-View, the Undertaker has looked different than he did before it, so this could be further evidence that you are correct about him/them.

Once again, I didn't have any trouble with Glenn. He'd sign anything you had. The only things he wouldn't sign were bootlegs and the Misfits Boxed Set. Someone asked him why he wouldn't sign it and he told them because he didn't have any imput with putting it together and didn't get any money from it. And he said it calmly, he wasn't a jerk about it like some people might think he would be from his reputation. He signed some kids "Beware" poster and drew an upside down cross and three sixes on Jerry's face. I thought it was pretty funny but I probably would have felt differently had it been my poster. But Glenn was happy to talk with everybody and anybody. He told me that he was working on the Death Dealer movie. His guests were Duke Mighten (artist of Satanika and Venus Domina), Jimmy Polmiotti, and Adam Pollina. They too signed anything you set before them (and believe me, some guys on line thought it was cool to have twenty or thirty comics signed at a time). On sale for the first time were the Verotika trade paperback, the Igrat tpb, the Venus Domina resin kit, and the Venus Domina portfolio. It was a pretty cool event. I even got Glenn to draw a sketch for me in my sketchbook. Anyway, from my experiences with Glenn (there haven't been more than 5), I don't know where some people get these horror stories from. If you just talk to him like a human being, act like a human being and not some walking hard on, you'll have a positive experience.

Subject: Everyone has the questions, to bad no one ever answered... Hello fiends... After the post from friday i got some e-mail from some of you asking questions about the Misfits records originals and bootlegs. It made me realize one thing, there are several discographies, lots of Price Guides and lots of people telling you about the records and what they know. But one thing is left out everytime. Something i came across the hard way. There are bootlegs that look just like the originals, ones that use the Plan 9 logo and some of you might even have them without ever knowing. I have one, for Who Killed Marilyn. It looks every bit like the original, with a couple slight differences. The color of the lips and eyeshadow are a cople shades darker, the sleeve is tight cause it's to new(thanks to Glenn pointing that out to me one night after a show). But the record label and the sleeve looks just like the original. there are others like these, and i was told about Japanese bootlegs that fit these descriptions. There is a copy of Beware that looks just like the original but the side of the spine is thin and not flat like the original. There are copies of Horror Business and Bullet that use the Plan 9 logo on the back the sleeves look very real until you see the small print on the bottom that says made in Germany. Those both use a red vinyl 7", though Horror B. never came in that color, yet Bullet did. If you come across a Misfits piece really look it over, ask an of the fiends that you know have the originals to compare the two or e-mail you a description of the record in detail. The end situation with the Who Killed Marilyn, i got my money back after threatening the guys business and life, plus the Bootleg never got back on to the collectors market. I still have it kept away, plus i got a real one a little later on. Be careful with who you buy from and ask a lot of questions cause the unfortunate part of collecting Misfits originals is that there are a lot of assholes who would love to screw you out of your money. D.eth the thing to you and AZ was on that question with Santa that you posted or i'm just loosing my mind. what can i say we are coming to the end of the semester. cg - the black beauty does not help when i'm at the end of the semester, maybe if you said something a while a go i could have used it on some of the people who have put me in this state of mind! by the way where you singing that song as you wrote it for your post?;) mark, i thought i was having it rough, you posted some post twice or i really need help and i'm seeing double. boy i see the shit is piled up, as the flies are buzzing around what was said about Bobby. Though i guess it would make to much sence to decide how you feel about the guy after you actually met him. some of you are asking about the single for Sacrifice, no i have not seen it for sale in Goldmine yet, just the promo is popping up at the moment. though be sure the german one will be for sale soon. Plus it will probably cost $8 - 11. well got to go do something i don't want to do at this moment.

Maybe, instead of a price guide, we can come up with a guide for determining what's real and what's fake. I've seen some of the knockoffs, and they're almost impossible to detect unless you know the subtle differences - like counting the number of LEAD-IN grooves; or inner grooves. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Dec 1996 00:35:23 -0500 From: Mark Kennedy Subject: CHYNA 12/3/96 Once again: Steve Zing's band Chyna just put out a new EP. This EP has 4 songs on it and is heavier than the stuff on the first album. If you're interested, write to: FLX Records PO Box 948 Lodi, NJ 07644-0948 (201) 778-4057 Call or write to the band, and you can receive your copy for free. 1000 copies were pressed and Steve's already had to order a second pressing. Be sure to check out Chyna's home page at: http://www.eclipse.net/~vulcan/chyna.htm Also, if any of you are interested in Mourning Noise, I just found out that a new Mourning Noise CD will be coming out in three months or so on Grand Theft Audio Records. In case you don't know, Mourning Noise was another great Lodi band, featuring Steve Zing on drums. Bobby Steele also played on their first 7" as did Mike Morance (then known as Ashley Morance). Their singer was a guy named Mike Mansfield who had a similar singing style to Glenn Danzig. In fact, there's a certain record store up in NJ that even sold old Mourning Noise demos as unreleased Misfits tracks. Mourning Noise put out one 7" while they were together and then broke up when Steve and Pete Marshall joined Samhain. Their unreleased stuff is even better than the stuff on the first 7". Their song titles are similar to old Misfits tunes, and the music is fast paced... It's great that their stuff will finally be coming out. ------------------------------ From: "Crimson Ghost" Date: Tue, 3 Dec 1996 16:02:09 +0000 Mark said (although I'm sure he's reprinting someone elses info): re: European tour dates >05/09/96 Czechoslovakia (probable cancellation) no doubt this date is likely to get cancelled!

I wasn't even going to dignify your post with a reply but what the hell...I was merely politely making a statement that many Metallica fans to this day do not accept Jason Newstead as the bass player, and was thus comparing it to Michale's situation. Even if Michale stays in The Misfits for 10 years, there will still be people who say he's not really a member, he doesn't deserve the title, etc. You had to flame me for this?! Even the guy I directed that to didn't seem to take offense. And *I* am the one who finds every little thing to complain about, eh? Anyway, I don't know if this title still holds or not, but at least as of 1994 The Undead's "Act Your Rage" LP was the best-selling unsigned album of all time. THAT is an accomplishment whether you want to admit it or not. Whether you like Bobby or not, this proves that he DOES have talent.

Not if the punkers, metalheads, yodalers, and whatnot can't get the bug out of their ass and let somebody get away with being diverse. You know, when Anthrax toured with Public Enemy, did anyone really care? Was there some metalhead e-zine saying that "Anthrax was disrespecting their roots,"? Some people won't be happy until the corporate executives out there have everyone fitting one and one only sterotype so they can sell their records! Some guy said he liked the Misfit as well as bands like Morbid Angel and NIN, and some cocky punk rock jock had to say, "So you like a cool bad and several bad ones?". Hey, was that you, Eddie? You tough punk guys are sort of blending together, as far as I can see. An appropriate analogy is of the Puritans living in New England during the colonial days. To sum it up, they had their religious freedom from England, but then enforced their own religious laws in the same Communist manner as that they had escaped. You punk guys want "real punk rockers" to have their opinions expressed, but, if you've ever listened to anything except punk at any point in your life, you should shut up. ***PRE-FLAME NOTE: I am using an exageration, an overstatement in writing purposly used to get a point across.

How about bands like pearl jam and alice in chains...there's some bands with real messages. I remember 5 years ago when i was a hardcore addict, and eddie came along and i found someone who i could sympathize with. Glenn Danzig don't know nuthin' and probably grew up fucking his best friends moms. What a geek!! anyway the misfits are the stupidest band i ever heard...Pearl Jam rocks this world dudes!! i bet satan doesn't even know who danzig is...danzig never killed anyone...i did!! me and eddie killed ticketmaster together!! eddie rules!! i would fuck him hard if i had the chance!! Danzig would be sucking me as i was doing this of course once he realizes that hes a no-good fucking spokesperson for the dead generation. Its a title i dont think he can handle. the misfits are so preoccupied with death and i think its about time they met death...

Subject: Getting a little carried away... Hello Fiends... Well i hope your ready for some more collecting info FIrst: Smogtown Record has some more of the promo Danzig full CDs for $7, also they have more of the patches you get 5 for $6. Phone # to order is 818-446-2100, address is 802 S. First Ave., Arcadia, Ca 91006; Yodelin' Pig has the 7th House promo CD $5, Phone # 410-654-0516, address 10435 Reisterstown Rd., Bld. 3, Owings Mills, MD 21117. as for Misfits i saw a bit up for sale from some guy in NY. though the prices are high to me, its a decent size ad, from Rockin' Rex c/o Anthony Pradlk, 914-948-6450, this is where i leave it up to you guys to take the risk. he lists Evilive green vinyl $60, Legacy on white $100, Die Die on white $75. i do own two of the three, comparison Evilive i have seen for $20-25 though i got mine as a birthday gift, Legacy i have on red and paid $70 about 6 or 7 years ago but i have seen them as low as $40 - 50(never the color i need though), Die Die i got about the same time as the Legacy and paid $40 from Chuck Cleaver if anyone can find that guy again. He had the best for sale and great prices. Though i have not seen an ad for him in at least 3 - 4 years. Collecting bits - for the 7"s it seems a lot of you are interested in finding them or at least the people who have been sending questions my way are. on the first 4 they have a thin paper sleeve with the exception of the gatefold Bullet that used a poster board like paper. Glenn seemed to go back to the thicker sleeves with Three hits. I would say that almost all the boots i have come across of the first 4 never have that thin paper. On the 7"s that use the thick paper Glenn had this method if pushing the sleeve open from where it opens, he pointed out that the real ones are not tight. that is from probably wear and usage. try it out if you have any doubts about a 7" though i think the best is to contact a friend that can describe one to the very last detail, my Beware that i have now was compared to Dave(Nikki) Parasite's copy of Beware. i guess i trused him since he sold me my Walk Amoung US promo poster. Try to get more of your stuff from known record stores, like Vinyl Ink does get stuff from time to time. I got three of my 7"s from them. But you have to be quick when you see their catalog, i lost out on several pieces cause someone got called up before me. Also record shows have stuff from time to time too. Though thats a tough call and try to bring some stuff to trade. That helps alot in the price. the thing about Glenn with the drawing, actually you might be right though he is credited with the design of the CD and some woman who i can't think of her name at this moment. i have to look through my cds where i got the other info. THough i can't discount Glenn and Art being that he went to one of the best art colleges in NYC. Yeah D.eth, and Bobby might have some Milk and Cookies waiting for Santa too. though that might be just pushing it a little to far... Now i think i have seen it all, it was bad enough with Glenn pitted against Rollins but this new one of Glenn VS Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister? and some of you jokers think i'm some wasted couch potato. That is taking things way to far now.

On the XMas '81 show, it is definately Jerry. As Bobby pointed out, Glenn and Jerry have VERY distinct voices. Listen closely. Unless someone was choking Glenn at the time, it is Jerry who says "Bobby Steele is a homosexual." However, at the Al's Bar show in LA April '82, it is definately Glenn AND Jerry. Then at the end Jerry says "Something like that, right?". Glenn has a slight 'twang' to his voice, while Jerry has the classic NJ accent.

I thought it must have been an old copy that they had stuffed away somewhere and had just gotten around to putting out on the shelf. Since then I've seen new copies of Danzig I , II, and III on Def American at 3 different stores. Does anybody know what's going on with this? Have they changed back to Def American or is it just a coincidence that they are getting these old copies at the same time?

Here are my comments/questions on the most recent bible: -First off, A few issues ago, I exchanged words with someone regarding the misfits and their abandonment of the punk scene in favor of the metal scene. The discussion was brief, but took place here in the bible. Anyway, this kid Justin saw fit to get all pissy at me(even though he had not been following the discussion) for my tone in my response. I addressed his comments, via email, so as to keep all this bullshit out of the bible. Anyway, appartly this guy Justin likes keeping bullshit in the bible because he posted his response to my email in the last issue(i left my response to his response out of the bible, incidentally). Anyway, I just would hate to see a big ridiculous argument start based around somebody getting mad at me for something that really has nothing to do with them. -Secondly, in response to my question about whether or not new pressing of the box set have SA in it, mark said they wouldn't have it in the metal box. This is what i thot too, but I heard from someone at a record store that they're just not putting SA in there at all, which is why I asked. BTW, $70 is the going rate around here for an unsigned box set. I got mine for $50 at a midnight signing. -Someone said Glenn went to one of the finest art colleges in NYC. Which art school did he goto? that's all...Cheers everyone! -Eddie H.Tomb ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Dec 1996 09:19:46 -0500 (EST) From: Chuck Plater Subject: Side Project Does anyone else remeber that when Danzig I was released, Glenn and Eerie said that it was a side project from Samhain, and that they would eventually go back to Samhain?

It doesn't sound > anything like it. I played the bootleg this morning and listened to it to try to determine who said: "Bobby Steele is a homosexual." The reason why I think it ISN'T Glenn is because Glenn says: "Allright guys..." right after the person says the remark about Bobby. The mikes sound different, the voices sound different. Granted, I don't know for a fact who says "Bobby..." but I don't think it's Glenn. So, that leaves: a) Jerry b)Doyle c) The Dummer (I don't know who drummed in 1981) or d) a crowd member.

Hell, that could be 1/2 the friggin dorks that run record shops!! :) How is the 45 Grave disk? You diggin it? To all the Bobby Steele bashers. Why the hell do you keep slaggin this guy? What the hell did he ever do to any of you? Did he kill your parents of knock up your sisters? He played in the Misfits and now he doesn't, whats the big friggin deal? You probably rock out to tunes he played on and then come here and give him shit. If you dont like his new band(s) give some constructive criticism rather than "ah, he sucks, jerry is the best".

I think November Coming Fire is a great album, and the recording aint too bad. And for all you Danzig collectors, there is a record store in Woodbridge NJ called Vintage Vinyl that has alot of Danzig CD Singles for sale. They are located in Fords NJ (right by Woodbridge) and their # is 908-225-7717 They had at least 4 or 5 different ones when I was there last week and most have cool bonus tracks. I dont know what kind of vinyl the carry, but overall I'd say they rank up with the best records store, and pretty reasonably priced.

Too bad Danzig didn't take a closer look at similar follies that have failed, such as Rob Halford's recent misguided industrial-lite outfit. Although Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains contributes heavy riff to three songs, most notably a cover of Black Sabbath's "Hand Of Doom," this industrial-by-numbers album is bogged down by Danzig's monotonous guitar playing, unimaginative grooves and feeble Jim Morrisonisms. The album starts with two fuzztone-driven, blatant Ministry rip-offs: "7th House," with a vocal melody lifted from White Zombie's "Electric Head Pt. 1 (The Agony)" (which in turn was stolen from "Attack Ships" by [Al] Jourgensen's side project, the Revolting Cocks), and "Blackacidevil," featuring a drum pattern filched from Ministry's "Stigmata." With its pulsing bass drum and synth line, "Sacrifice" is disco Danzig. Here, the singer hammers obvious Nine Inch Nails references into listener's brains with thinly veiled [Trent] Reznor-inspired lines such as "I want to look into your other face" ("I want to fuck you like an animal") and "Under the downward side" (DOWNWARD SPIRAL, perhaps?). By the time the album reaches the sampled porno moans on "Serpentia," it's obvious Danzig couldn't even ignite a bucket of gas with a spark of the imagination that inspired this album. ---- ouch! they pull no punches there. tell me you didn't laugh at the line "disco Danzig." =) "hour..back..get it?" ryq ------------------------------ From: Angwood@aol.com Date: Wed, 4 Dec 1996 16:51:11 -0500 Subject: Bobby is a hipocrite but he kicks ass!!

Pip from AIRHEADS In the Dawn of the Undead CD is says: listen to the version of Horror Business on the single then listen to Doyles guitar on Evilive and you be the judge. A few bibles ago you said that you never had a problem w/ Doyle or put him down. Also im not ragging on you but im pointing something out. Second stop this WORLD vs. Bobby thing.

I love your riff at the end. also bobby, what glenn said was 15 years ago, get over it! it was a joke! i understand you being mad at jerry for saying lots of shit about you and not paying you, but lay off glenn, he wants nothing to do with the new misfits. well, thats it, go see the descendents on tour, they kicked ass, best show i've seen since the misfits show in june, the bouncing souls are good too. bye chris bollocks ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Dec 1996 17:34:02 -0500 From: Kevin Subject: Fiend Club.

Check the previous cds, (like II) in which Glenn is almost always (partly) credited with the design, yet he obviously didn't take all those photos of himself. In the Lucifuge example, Glenn's design input was probably the idea to make the book fold out into an inverted cross. It was an oversight not to list M.E. as the artist in the 5 cd book, but trust me, GOTH #1 is QUITE clear: Emond did that drawing. It even looks like his style... -brett ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Dec 1996 00:42:49 -0500 (EST) From: Frank Fama Subject: "bOBBY steele is a..." i always thought it was Glenn raggin' on him. of course i'm not as familiar with Jerry's voice, since he's not the vocalist, but it never occurred to me that it was anyone other than glenn. it sounds like glenn to me... that could also be the reason that jerry denies ever saying it...because he probably didn't. and after 15 years, would you remember the exact words that your fellow bandmate spoke about an ex-bandmate?? he probablt forgot it the next morning. -brett ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Dec 1996 07:17:31 -0700 From: pinworm@direct.ca (John Frederick) Subject: Plan 9 label & The Crimson Ghost serial Have any other artists had material released under the Plan 9 label other than the Misfits and Samhain?

(coincidentally, in the wnyu interview, glenn rags on Lyle Preslar for not playing all downstrokes at the first samhain show.) also, glenn says he didn't put up with Lyle's rockstar bullshit, as he had had enough of that with Jerry and Doyle. hahahaha... did eerie get some inspiration for UNEASY LISTENING from samhain's version of "trouble" with keyboards? hmmm... "rockstar bullshit"... hahahahahahaha ryqhain ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Dec 1996 17:31:50 -0800 From: David Cook Subject: RE:last ish Bobby said: >> >From: Emily Ann Freehafer <02459@udel.edu> >Subject: yes, another damn sighting > >Ps- >Jerry rocks and Bobby sucks. VERY GOOD. I'm so hurt by your cruel remarks ......NOT ! Get a life. << Yeah really. That is dumb. You know, I can tell you that people that are like that are just dumb. They have nothing to say. OH! WAIT! I am now totally convinced now, because some bitch said so! whatever. Justin Deming said: >> There's all this seperatist bullshit again. Can't we all just get along? Not if the punkers, metalheads, yodalers, and whatnot can't get the bug out of their ass and let somebody get away with being diverse. You know, when Anthrax toured with Public Enemy, did anyone really care? Was there some metalhead e-zine saying that "Anthrax was disrespecting their roots,"? Some people won't be happy until the corporate executives out there have everyone fitting one and one only sterotype so they can sell their records! Some guy said he liked the Misfit as well as bands like Morbid Angel and NIN, and some cocky punk rock jock had to say, "So you like a cool bad and several bad ones?". Hey, was that you, Eddie? You tough punk guys are sort of blending together, as far as I can see. << Yep... well said. Ohwell, you know like I said about thirty or forty issues ago, you really can't read people's minds and know what they are trying to do exactly. Maybe Jerry is in it for the money, maybe not. I hope he makes some money, either way so he can live. AND I love their idea for the music video. That's a really creative solution that I never thought of where you can make video without selling out. But you never know people's full intentions. Jerry will do fine as far as money goes anyway. >> An appropriate analogy is of the Puritans living in New England during the colonial days. To sum it up, they had their religious freedom from England, but then enforced their own religious laws in the same Communist manner as that they had escaped. You punk guys want "real punk rockers" to have their opinions expressed, but, if you've ever listened to anything except punk at any point in your life, you should shut up. << Yes, make that FACIST enforcement. All organized religions with any sizeable membership (and some that are otherwise) are like that, they HAVE to be that way. That's why I HATE them. They are total contradictions of themselves. You know, one way or the other, you can't avoid contradicting yourself eventually SOME, but I would rather that it be something else. >> ***PRE-FLAME NOTE: I am using an exageration, an overstatement in writing purposly used to get a point across. << I sincerely hope you are lying here. Fuck the exagerration, its no exagerration. But to add to it, there are many points in between. So everyone fuck off. You know who you are. There is no such thing as punk. People will argue, and you know what? Some of them really are punk. But in too many ways it ends up a contradiction, and so I avoid it. Dilution is the phenomenon that I am discussing with punk and religion. You know, when people say that people are abandoning "their roots" like Anthrax and Public Enemy... that is just dumb.. it just shows either (or both) 1) that Anthrax is only as good as some heavy metal band (limited, unoriginal) and 2) that the person who made that statement has no idea or reason to say that, other than they are ignorant and lazy fucks who just don't want to hear other people's ideas, opinions or complaints! (no regard for other people). So there. Fuck everyone again! >> It seems like every damn bible I have to skip through some dipshit post like "yes, i'm PUNK, and i listen to the misfits, dead kennedays, and all of these bands you've never heard, damn that must make me cool..." as if a.) that makes them a worthwhile human being or.. b.) someone had said "thou shalt only listen << Ok, ok... get used to it. You know a lot people don't know who they are, and yeah seek that kind of thing. Whatever. So what. They are LAME. Ignore them when they are like that. >> This is Justin Deming, proud and loud, handing this reply right on over to the Misfits Bible! << You did indeed. Good for you. Shaun Young said: >> you guys got it all wrong. who needs to know anything about a band that sings about zombies and vampires and fucking zombies and vampires. How about bands like pearl jam and alice in chains...there's some bands with real messages. I remember 5 years ago when i was a hardcore addict, and eddie came along and i found someone who i could sympathize with. << So what are you doing here? Don't tell me some shit about your holy mission. There is a big difference beween the Misfits and Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam claims to be something that it is not. I will not go into that just yet. The Misfits don't. It is all about fun. nothing more. So, you may now step down. And do you truly know the Misfits? They actually have SOME message in them. You present a poor, sloppy argument that is a piece of shit. If you seek to defend Pearl Jam, then I suggest you try again, and state facts cleary. Good Luck. Oh yes, and you r sarcasm does not interest anyone on this list, unless it is truly entertaining and original, which would be hard for you to do. fuck you. ------------------------------ From: KWard93399@aol.com Date: Thu, 5 Dec 1996 21:35:39 -0500 Subject: The Cramps and The Misfits Hey fiends, Maybe this was said a long, long time ago. (Like before issue #140) Has anyone ever thought what an amazing show it would be if The Misfits opened up for The Cramps?! Talk about a psychotic audience and a fun, Nazi-free show!

Subject: Misfits 101, class now begins... Hello fiends or should i say welcome to class kiddies... Well here we are at your first lesson in telling the difference between bootlegged and Original Misfits records. Bobby was right and i have said this before no one ever took the time to write this stuff down. I have tons of discographies for the Misfits but not one will tell you that some asshole who wanted to cash in on the Misfits produced a fake piece of shit that they will charge you from $10 - 50 for. I know that there are a lot of people who will say they can't afford the real thing, and it is not worth trying. Bullshit, they are out there sitting in some tiny little record store waiting for some fiend to take them home. Example, Samhain - Unholy Passion with tan cover first press mint condition was waiting for me at a local record store and set me back 10 big ones(yes $10). First press Die Die My Darling with t-shirt insert heavy vinyl was $3. In simple terms you never know. First piece to compare Cough/Cool: there are three bootlegs that i know of. One rare one that was 200 copies, is supposed to have a cover similar to the original, though the vinyl is thinner. you never know that could be a rumor. the ones i have see, black vinyl, uses a thick sleeve like that on a three hits an there after, says dungeon records upper right hand corner(back of sleeve and on the label for the vinyl), and on the bill (also back of sleeve) the year for the date says '88. the vinyl is a little lighter in weight, has a small center hole, the original has a large center hole, blank records printed on the label(on the vinyl) is small over the hole, the original has it printed larger over the hole, on the boot under the song title which is on the left hand side of the label danzig is spelled zigdan, on the original it is spelled correctly plus there are the double dots over the "a" in danzig. the boot has the band called the Unfits on the label, original has the Misfits, both have blank, A-101, P+C 1977 on the right hand side, for the original it is perfectly set across from the song title, danzig, and the running time. side b for the boot is off quite a bit when they printed it, so dungeon records now moves to the bottom right corner, otherwise the back looks like what i described as the front but the song title is SHE. on the vinyl the rings in to the start of the song are the same but the ones leading out on the boot are three close together where as the original has two that are spread apart. the photo of the Misfits on the boot is black and white the original has shades of grey and detail that the other does not. Next time around first press Bullet. Well i see that moron has to take another shot at Bobby, what a big surprise. Come on guy can't you get a little more original your posts sound the same. Plus why would Bobby lie about being in Austin when it can be proven. that takes a lot of logic. though i guess that makes to much fucking sense. John Ward asked about made in Canada being printed on any of the orig., as far as the 7"s i do not see that anywhere, sleeves vinyl labels. if you are refering to the 12"s and lps you got to give me till Mondays issue of the bible to get to them(this invovles furniture moving). plus i have never seen a boot leg of any 12" vinyl except Beware. That will be done in a later lesson cause there are several boots i've seen on that. What your main concern is finding the first pressings that might be mixed into the pressings done in the mid and late '80's. AZ, its nice to see someone else wondering why the hell TS is even mentioned on the MB. though in your list Hanoi Rocks is not a good example since they never got a chinamans chance in hell here in the states, or at least Razzle never did, those who have no clue what the hell i am talking about. refreshing your memory back 11 years, when a drunk Vince Neil got into his car with HR's drummer Razzle, hit a another car head on, killed Razzle, and the driver of the other car on impact. Neil got community hours to serve, not bad for killing two people in one shot. Mark B., you know you could do better on those price wise, Halloween i've seen and bought as a gift for a close friend for the holidays, cost $50. Horror Business you could get for $80 if you can find it. only Kris Mclauchlan wanted $160 for it or your kidney, and Vinyl Ink sold a second one for $200, but it was autographed. The highest price was $900 Kris wanted for one with the famed alternate sleeve, some other guy i knew wanted $500 for the same. unfortunately i did not have anything on that level to trade for it. good luck though.

New Misfits vs. Misfits circa 1983: two different bands and I like them both. It was hard to imagine Glenn not being in the band but that was then and this is now. Michale is doing a fine job and Chud is a 100% improvement over Robo. Blackacidevil: I have always felt that Glenn is a very gifted singer and song-writer. I think that it took balls to put out something so different. I drive around in the wolf-wagon blasting 7th House and it makes me transform. I dig it. Actually I would love to see him put out a cd full of songs like Less Than Zero one of these days...I'm sure that would upset a lot of fans.... Geffen signing: I think that it's great! Anybody who can't understand that this is a good thing is probably confused. I missed the Misfits not performing for 13 years. I'm very happy for Jerry and the boys and now they have a greater opportunity to put out some new material and take this thing to the next level. Reason 2 for posting: I wanted to thank all of the fiends for the positive feedback about my appearance with the Misfits earlier this year. Special thanks to Mark, who is a fucking great guy. I appreciate the... .. the sun's gone down .... the pain is coming...I'm gone... LTW (p.s. There is only one UT and bet the farm on Ken Shamrock in tonights UFC...) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Dec 1996 14:03:30 PST Subject: 266 From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) >From: Vincent Price >Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #265 >Hmm, are you sure about that Tammy?

Supposedly,Viv Campbell kicked the piss out of Glenn at a festival in the U.K., after a 'verbal exchange'. Glenn denies it, saying he's trained in martial arts, and no one could kick his ass. The second incident, which has been confirmed to me from two different sources goes like this. n old girlfriend of mine was at BARNEY's BEANERY, in L.A.. This was around December, '89. She had brought a copy of ACT YOUR RAGE to give to a DJ there. After she gave him the LP, and was outside, about to get into a cab "a small guy grabbed me and said 'Bobby Stee'le's a crippled fuckin' faggot' ". So this girl, about 5'3" 105lbs - hauled off and punched him in the teeth - leaving a mess on his mug. She didn't know who it was, but after she told me what he said, I knew it had to be Glenn. A few days after she called me, another friend called to say she had seen "some girl punch out DANZIG". >From: Andy Yuhnke >Subject: nothing to add >pretty soon theres gonna be "XXX HOT ASIAN GIRLS" and I can deal with that. >Date: Wed, 4 Dec 1996 16:51:11 -0500 >Subject: Bobby is a hipocrite but he kicks ass!! >In the Dawn of the Undead CD is says: >listen to the version of Horror Business on the single then listen to Doyles >guitar on Evilive and you be the judge.
