Hi All: Whats the deal with Slayer?? Slayer is not a NAZI BAND NOW OR EVER WAS!!! Slayer is one of the only true metal bands that is still around and hasn't changed they style. They didn't go industrial like Nine Inch Glenn!!! Not that I dont like Danzig, but I dont like the way he is going now. I hope Slayer keeps going cause I really like their music and they kick ass in concert!!!! GK ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 08 Jan 1997 10:11:19 -0500 From: Kevin Subject: Slayer. Hey, As far as I know from what I read Slayer is not a nazi band nor are they into satanism. They are into war and the occult as a hobbie. They are fascinating subjects that are found in books and movies as well as music. They read about it and write songs about it because that type of subject matter fits the thrash/death sound of their music. It doesn't mean that they worship satan or follow Hitler's beliefs. You guys shouldn't be so damn gullible. Do you think that Glenn actually went out and hacked the heads off little girls and put them on his wall? No, he wrote that because he was interested in horror movies and he was inspired by them. Don't get me wrong, there ARE bands that worship satan and practice nazi beliefs, but don't automatically believe it because you hear some stupid rumors. Seek the facts.

Are they going to have Lon Chaney Sr. or the Crimson Ghost in the top left hand corner? Also, shouldn't it be Volume 2, Number 1? Does anyone really care...

OK. here we go: In the new PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO GUIDE (wich everyone should own by now...) the Crimson Ghost serial has a rather large entry (there's even a nice b/w pic). It reads exactly like this: ---------------------------- THE CRIMSON GHOST (Republic, 1946) Director: William Witney, Fred C. Bannon Screenwriter: Albert Desmond, Basil Dickey, Jesy Duffy, Sol Shore This 12-chapter Republic serial stars Charles Quigley as the criminologist hero and Linda Stirling as his assistant. The Crimson Ghost (I. Stanford Jolly provided the voice) steals the cyclotrode, a device that can short.circuit all electricity. He also has control collars for his henchmen. When the collars are pulled off they're killed by an electric shock. The ghost is one of the greatest serial images , a mystery man in a cape with a skull face and glaring eyeballs. An 80s New York City band, the Misfits, used the ghost as their symbol. With Clayton Moore, Keenean Duncan, and Eddie Parker. The 1966 condensed feature version is called Cyclotrode X. On cable TV it's been shown colorized and cut. ---------------------------- That's it. Hope you didn't fell asleep. Peter. Another thing wich has nothing to do with the Misfits: if somehow (I don't know how) someone got the impression because of one of my posts somewhere in Bible #265-275, that Chris Hatcher rips people off - it's not true. Are you satisfied man? So when's that cd gonna be in my mail box... ;) -- 'Und keine Eier!'

I'm looking for an internet site that has or some person who just happens to have guitar tab to any of their stuff, especially SALAD DAYS and MINOR THREAT... I'd also be interested in a page with lyrics. Anyone's help is appreciated.

Happy New Year Fiendlies -- Just got back from vacation and found my miserable self referred to in TWO bibles -- woo hoo! Yes, twas *I* who invoked THE MENTORS!@#$*! For a real treat, seek out their VERY early material, when they were on Mystic Records -- a pretty seminal Calif. punk label (Dr. Know, Flower Lepers, RKL, Slaughterhouse 5, and a host of excellent compilation records.) Frankly, I don't see much of a comparison to GWAR as someone put it --- those bands are from two different worlds (literally!) As far as the great A.D. debate, I can't believe the amount of folks on the bible who actually think that it means "after death." What do they teach you damn whippersnappers in school nowadays? As mentioned by others, it means anno domini, or "year of our lord" as you often hear it in films and such that have a medieval feel. Not too diabolic there, I always thought the title was a reference to the film "Dracula A.D. 1972." (though I'm not sure that's the exact title) a decent flick with our black-clad hero sucking the vital fluids from a bunch of hippies who had the misfortune of disturbing his slumber. However, it's not too much a stretch to assume that the actual meaning of A.D. also escaped the collective Misfits mind and the title does indeed (to them) mean Earth After Death --- as the cover art might lead one to believe. Though I haven't picked up Blackacidevil (and don't intend to), "Sacrifice" gets some late night airplay on our "Modern Rock Station" here in Philly. Not to rehash what others have said -- but geez, Trent Reznor should fucking get royalties! Since the "solo" Danzig is not as much of a screamer, that sung chorus makes me feel like I've been chewing on tin foil! I've also heard a "dance" remix in a club and it was at least tolerable -- of course, it could have been the 8 shots of Jagermeister clouding the brain that night :( My top five? (1) Vampira (2) Devil's Whorehouse (3) Hybrid Moments (4) Astro Zombies (5) All Hell Breaks Loose. BUT I LOVE EM ALL!!!!! So I can finally be timely -- the great Slayer debate. Unless a band is blatantly white power (Screwdriver, etc.), how can ANYONE label a band by the affiliations and beliefs of its fans. Many years ago, I worked with a skin who tried hard to hide his beliefs. Ok, he didn't try THAT hard, as he was soon fired for drawing swastikas in the employee bathroom -- and his favourite band was Minor Threat -- and all of his pitiful Aryan brothers dug that straight edge stuff too! I remember when the death metal band Suffocation (whose lead guitarist is black) headlined at a local club. The pit was packed with Nazi skins who let loose a barrage of "Seig Heils" between every song. If they really felt so strongly about that garbage, then what the hell were they doing there in the first place? Yes, Slayer does have some "Naziesque" imagery, the MOST telling of which seems to be the "eagle" logo they've done lately. Slayer's fan club is indeed called "Slatanic Wehrmacht." Let's get one thing straight -- Kerry King shaved his head `cause he *WAS GOING BALD* and there's no "Thrash Hair Club for Men" as far as I know. But ... I was fortunate enough to interview Dave Lombardo (Slayer's BEST drummer -- and probably one of the great thrash drummers of all time) about his new band Grip, Inc. for a zine I used to publish called "Reaper's Harvest." Without naming names or citing anything specific, he alluded to the fact that the racist beliefs of the rest of the band (Lombardo is Hispanic) were to blame for much of the turmoil. At one point in the interview --- he said to me, "Let's put it this way -- Angel of Death is more than just a story song ... " OK, so I've contradicted myself repeatedly -- but let's not brand probably one the greatest bands in the genre as Nazis due to the actions of the misguided fucks who appear in HBO documentaries with "Decade of Agression" banners behind them. That's my lot. Mentors Quote of the Week: "Got a bag of China White, that says yer gonna get naked tonight!"

As I said before, the lead singer/bassist is Latino, and at recent concerts and instores there were several non-whites there enjoying themselves, and the guys were equally cool to everyone. If subtle Nazi references make you a Nazi (ie Slayer using the iron eagle, iron crosses, etc etc), then Glenn Danzig must be a pretty big one. Not only does he wear the SS's Death Head, but in the song "Lords of the Left Hand" there is a line "Triumph of the will.....superman". Superman would be in reference to Frederich Nietzsche's view of the superior being, which the Nazis compeletely misinterpreted as a reference to the Aryan race. Triumph of the Will is the name of perhaps the most famous Nazi propaghanda film. Anyway, this is really off the topic of Slayer. I also distinctly remember them stating that they were not Nazis in an interview....I'll hunt it up. As far as the "S" in Slayer.....gee Kiss must be Nazis, too. Angel of Death does NOT GLORIFY anything. It instead describes. If they were Nazis, wouldn't they have denied the existence of the Holocaust? They actually constantly said that this song does not glorify but instead is meant to show just how fucked up the Nazis were. If they were glorifying it, they did a poor job. Kerry King shaved his head. So did I. Why? I got sick of having long hair. I was sick of having knots in it and spending a shit load of time on it. I suspect that the reasons may be the same, especially since he head bangs a lot more than I ever did. Also, he's got tattoos on his head now. I suppose the fact that Michael Jordan shaves his head is irrevelant... The eagles....why do they use that? I don't know. My guess is because it looks cool. Go through any book of Nazi memorabilia or whatever and you will find the coolest looking stuff. That's not to say it stands for anything that is right, but if it looks cool, and they don't have to pay royalties to anyone. Why not? Look around the metal scene, and you will find a lot of bands use Nazi symbols, many I would guess unintentionally. I hope that this conversation is kept to a mature manner, it is often a difficult one to sustain, so as soon as it turns bad, I think we should all agree to can it. Chris ------------------------------ From: SeanC138@aol.com Date: Wed, 8 Jan 1997 20:07:25 -0500 (EST) Subject: hi Hey fiends!!! This is my first time posting to the bible. I live in Springfield, Illinois unfortunately so not many people share my interests in music. I love all types of music and I love the Misfits. I am a big fan of death metal as well. I saw the Misfits play this summer with the new singer and it was my first time seeing them live. I never had the chance to see them with Glen unfortunately. I was totally blown away at the energy these guys put out in a show. I believe they played every song they ever recorded and it was 100% effort on their part. I have never seen a band give that much energy to a crowd in my life. I walked out of that show and couldn't believe it. I will admit it was at the Milwaukee Death Fest and they blew every single death metal band that whole weekend hands down. So I have been trying to hunt down anything I can find on the Misfits. I have always liked them but when I saw them live I fell in love. What a great fucking band. I have gotten a hold of a tape that is a cable access show from Michigan called "Why be something you're not." It is pretty good quality and it has a couple other shows on it and I have one more tape too. If anyone wants to talk about the Misfits or if you happen to like death metal send me some email at SeanC138@aol.com. I'd love to talk to you!!!! I have a question and I hope you can help me out. I heard that Earth A.D was being re-released and I can't find it anywhere. Can someone please help me??? I love Earth A.D. I know there has been a debate about this but I think it's a great album. Also what's the deal with Mars Attacks. I know this is probably old news to you guys but I heard they were going to be on the soundtrack and I can't find that either. Thank you for all you help and I hope to talk to you all soon!!!!! Later Fiends Sean ------------------------------ Date: 9 Jan 1997 00:18:50 -0000 From: John Ward Subject: Nazis, silkscreens Hey fiends, Well I guess the MB is back to Nazism again... I'm not a big Slayer fan, what I do know though is that lots of bands have displayed Swastikas or other Nazi insignias, but have certainly not been white-power. Both the Ramones and the Dead Boys were said to wear Nazi stuff both on stage and on the street. Alledgedly the Dead Boys once really offended a Jewish studio executive with this stuff. Sid was another one with a fascination for the pins and logos. DeeDee Ramone once said in an interview that he collected Nazi relects as a kid living in Germany. Additionally most of this occurred before the advent of the white-power movement. These bands/ individuals did it to rebel and tell the public to fuck off; probably nothing more. Is it the same with Slayer? I'm not one to say, but there does seem to be a precedent for this type of action set by punk bands; albeit a strange one. As far as silkscreening; I put a CG skull on the back of my leather jacket using basic acrylic paint. To get the design right I used a Xerox machine to blow up a good picture of the skull (straight ahead, square, etc.) which I then traced onto a piece of poster board to make a template. I then taped the template onto the jacket and painted. I finished it off by spraying the painted parts with a gloss. It looks pretty good. The advantages of this method are: 1) since I now have the template I can do additional copies for others or touch ups on my jacket. 2) No dicking around with silkscreens. 3) The guy at the art store said that acrylic paint is the best for preserving the leather so it doesn't dry and crack. One tip if you do use this method its best to allow the paint to dry for a couple of days. Even though it may seem dry it can peel off if it comes in contact with something sticky (like a vinyl bus seat). --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Dec 1994 21:58:16 -0500 From: Misfit Subject: Slayer Slayer is not nazi. They may like to talk about the third reich but they dont sing much about nazism. Yes, they talk about the aryan race and shit but that is just there lyrics. If your going to be playing fast, heavy music like slayer, you dont go talking about corny green day shit. Only evil stuff sounds good with speed metal any way. I dont think it really matters what they say, They are still an AWESOME band. -- __ __ /' `\ .oO SuB_ Oo. /' `\ /' `\ /' /' /' \ /'/~~/ /' /' / \ \/'/' //~~~~/ /' /' /' \ /'/' //' /'/' /~~~~/ misfit@netreach.net \ /'/' //' /'/' /'sub_human@hotmail.com `\___/'/________/'/__________/'http://www.netreach.net/~misfit/ ------------------------------ From: "S.D."

While flipping through the Washington CityPaper this morning, I saw that opening bands for the Danzig show at Capitol Ballroom were announced. One of them is Electric Hellfire Club. I know at least J Grimm is a fan of theirs. I think they sound a lot like Thrill Kill. When I saw the other band I laughed my ass off. It's Powerman 5000. They had a cameo on Beverly Hills 90210 last year. The Donna and David characters directed a video for them on the show. They looked like a White Zombie ripoff, but to be honest I haven't heard what they actually sound like. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Jan 1997 14:49:00 -0500 From: cory Subject: glennsd beliefs hi all if i were to take a guess at whether glenn is a christian or not it would be that he is (a christian). the dark lord that he writes about sooooo much seems to be the christian verson of satan. just a thought, cory ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 16:54:55 -0500 From: Tarry Carapezza Subject: Adam West rocks DC Minutes after reading that Adam West was playing at the Black Cat, I managed to get myself on the guestlist. I'll never miss an Adam West show for the rest of my life. Those guys rock! The bass player has an AMAZING sound. I love that bombing bass sound. The vocalist isn't bad either. Although he really should look into getting a distortion box, so his vocals will have that cool 'blackacidevil' sound. (Just kidding Jake) With the exception of a few feedback problems in their first song, the sound was a lot better than the last time I saw them at Asylum, although this set seemed shorter. One downer was that I had to leave before Polyplush Cats came on (another great DC band, as well as friends of Jake). Heads up to the NewYorkers on the bible. Jake mentioned they are definitly playing a show at CBGB's in NYC in February.

The > calander was started around the time of Christ's demise. BC refers to nope...the calender was not adopted until the 6th or 7th century AD, I forget which...I seem to remember it being under Pope Gregory I ("Gregory the Great" but I'm not too sure anymore). And the reason the dating is incorrect is because obviously there wasn't much record back then of when an insignificant carpenter was born in an insignificant Roman province. Most scholars today believe that Christ was born in about 4 BC, (which means we're now really in 2001) and was executed in AD 28 or 29, during the reign of Tiberius. I think we discussed all this in CG's Operator's Manual a while back. -Batman ------------------------------ From: cfarrell@idsi.net Date: Thu, 09 Jan 1997 01:43:42 -0800 Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #280 Whats up everyone?

Glenn has a large variety of musical output. His tastes change quite a bit and from record to record. Personally I think a lot of it has to do with whose producing the record. But the point is, with Glenn doing so many kinds of music, is it totally out of the question that at one point he wanted to do a speed metal record? I don't think so. Glenn likes to 'dabble'. So what? I'm with a lot o' folks on this list who think that EAD is the Misfits worst album. But that doesn't mean anything. It's still Glenn. As far as CG's point about Initium being the next logical step after Walk Among Us, therefore EAD was all Jerry's influence, I say no way. By your logic, Kryst the Konquerer should be the next step after EAD. Granted, I've only had limited exposure to Kryst, but I don't think it sounds like EAD at all. Again, I think EAD just shows Glenn's willingness to try new things with a new producer. ------------------------------ From: "Cheryl M.

The movie is called The Prophet II: Ashtown. It's comming out sometime this year. It's produced by Neo Motion Pictures and distributed by Dimension Films. It's directed by Greg Spense (Children Of the Corn IV), written by Matt Greenberg (The Killing Box) and produced by Keith Border and Joel Soisson (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure). The major characters of the movie are played by Jennifer Beals ("The Wrong Man" segment from the movie Four Rooms), Glenn Danzig, Brittany Murphy (Tai from Clueless), Tim Roth (Pumpkin or Ringo from Pulp Fiction), Christopher Walken (Bobby from Wayne's World II) and Russel Wong (Park from New Jack City). Christopher Walken is the star and plays "The Angel Gabriel." He plays the same role in the first Prophecy movie and is the only reacurring character. I never seen part one but It's a horror, real evil I think(I'm going by the commercials). Cant wait till this one comes out.

Subject: If the Misfits can go to Czechoslovakia, Danzig can go to Ybor City... Hello fiends... first off, it seems we got some problems with tour schedules for Danzig and the Misfits. I guess that Danzig thought that if the Misfits could got to Czechoslovakia then they could go to Ybor City, Florida. I was very curious when i heard of this tour date. See i have lived in Florida all my live and i have never heard of this place. so after several maps, the phone book and area code listings, plus the internet and virtual maps. NO PLACE IN FLORIDA. and even if it did exist, we would be talking a sink hole near some water. Maybe that is why the Jacksonville date was added after the tickets went on sale. Dave - actually Glenn is given credit with Eerie on the November Coming Fire LP for the Photography, though either that is no excuse if he said he took all the photos, or Metal Edge screwed up. Oh as for Trade school, i don't know about trade schools in NJ but the one here in Miami - Robert Morgan Trade School - i had friends that studied, cooking, graphic design, print making and photography at this place. it was part of high school, where half day was there and the other was at the high school we all went to. Chris, you need to calm down and stop listening to We Are 138. Next ya know we find out you got locked up in a white padded cell and a straight jacket. cause you where trying to get the one hundreth and thirty eighth CD of Earth AD, as they took you away you where mumbling," but CG said AD ment In the Year of Our Lord." Itchy - Wax is another term that is used instead of Vinyl, but they are one and the same. the acetate is suposed to be a plastic derived from acetic acid. if they are still made like that i am not sure. there usually pressed as promos, some are pressed to first here the sound, actually some magazines have them as part of the mag to get you to buy it. in the early 80's there was a british mag called Flexi Pop that each issue featured a band on the cover and had their newest song on the brit term Flexi Disk, our term Acetate. The only band that was worth getting from that mag was Bauhaus, though that issue is very rare. There was a magazine here that used to do that for punk and hardcore bands. i have it some where and i think the DK's were on that. By the way, try and get some sleep, spelling shit wrong is one thing but loosing your mind, well that is a bit to far.;) Mark B., i know that Earth AD and Blackacidevil are very broad across the spectrum here, but both where not what most people would say was Glenn's best work. they are truely a sign of that time. Misfits 101... Not gettting SCREWED I'm happy that everyone is enjoying the Misfits 101 stuff. I just feel that those of you who are just starting out to collect should not get screwed by all those assholes out there. I knew most of them at one point in time, and i can say that several took there shot at ripping me off. The known Misfits collectors who sell records even Misfits and Samhain originals, for the most part from my experience are lowest scum who would sell their own mothers if they could make a buck off the deal. They know what they have, they know the value and they know the value of all the other rare punk and hardcore if trading comes into play. That is why i made sure i knew as much as they did. I would clip out any list of rare punk and hardcore for sale so i could have a guide. when i would by from dealers who knew their stuff and where reputable, i would ask questions about the other records (other than the Misfits) values. I have kept lists of prices on the rarest of each label other than PLAN9, so if i needed to trade or had one of those records i could say, " well you need to give me more than just a Horror Business for a Necros Sex Drive 7"." Some of these guys would just come out and ask for ridiculous amounts of money on a 7" that i knew was not worth that much. No one at that time was going to drop $150 on a black vinyl first press Three Hits From Hell. One guy would ask if you could find Pinball Machines he would trade some of his rare Misfits record. Shit the shipping alone on the Pinball Machine would pay for your three hits. First if you find someone that has Misfits and Samhain originals for sale and its not a record store, ask around, do you know this guy (sorry to say i still have not come across a female that sold Misfits stuff). How long has he been selling stuff, who has ordered and actually got the records from him. i admit i took some chances in the beginning since i did not have anyone to ask about the guys i bought from or traded with. But this is now much different and you all have hundreds of fiends to talk to and ask. also make sure they insure the records when they go out, i had some problems with the post office and my white vinyl Die Die. finally i did get it but only cause Chuck Cleaver had insured it. Also check out the record you got, if they are the grading that the seller said they where. i was really pissed getting a poor condition Beware when i was told it was VG+. If the worst happens and you have been ripped off, bug the crap out of this guy. I'm a little wary about Po box's but if you have an address find someone who can really find this guy. I did threaten Dr. Strange, and a friend of mine called and took some shots. I told him i would wreck his business if i did not get my money back(6 months was a little too long for me). He called back in 5 minutes and i got my money a week later. If this is someone who sells through MRR or Flipside even Goldmine, you can really do major damage to them by placing ads about them ripping off people. Goldmine is more severe punishment, they loose their seal and they are screwed. that takes years of advertising to earn, and we are talking thousands of dollars in the process. well more on not getting screwed and learning about the other side of the punk and hardcore coin next time.

First something important: Some of you may remember some time back about Patricia GIVING away a BLACK vinyl Horror Business single. I remember posting something to the effect that she gave it away to a kid to start his collection and I mean she GAVE IT TO HIM for free! Well the deal was that *IF* he ever wanted to sell it Patricia would get asked first. Well this kid sold it, sold it to another bible member without even asking Patricia if she wanted it. Without mentioning any names I'd like to say to the person that purchased it that it was promised to EVB should it ever be sold back to Patricia. I know you bought it fair and square but I'm asking you if you want to by chance honor the original intent of the deal by selling it to Patricia or EVB directly. I want to reiterate that this is a black Horror Business, one of 25 copies pressed. This record is the one that was one the juke box at the Mudd Club, moreover, it was a birthday present from Glenn to Patricia. Regardless of it's condition it's worth considerably more than you payed for it and I'm sure that Elizabeth will be glad to pay what it's worth. I'm sure I'll catch hell for this but what the fuck. Someone said recently that Glenn wanted to grow and evolve (in regards to Rick Rubin) Well that's bullshit. Rick Rubin is a businessman, and a damn good one at that. If it weren't for Rick Rubin most of you dopey cocksuckers wouldn't even be here cause there never would have been a DANZIG. He signed Glenn when they were NOBOBDY. Rubin knew a winning combination when he saw one. For you people to endlessly defend Glenn because he wants to grow...Well that's a load of shit, he's not growing, he's branching into genres he knows absolutely nothing about. Personally I think he's trying to cash in on a fad. Glenn is time and again a day late and a dollar short. Glenn is no genius. He saw how big NIN & Marilyn Manson were getting and he wanted a stab at it. He's always been on the tail end of ANY fad as far as music goes. He's no originator, he's a copycat. It used to be he was a rather good copycat but these days his music is hackneyed and boring. It is possible for a band to grow within the genre that they are best at. The transition between Samhain and Danzig I, II, III & IV are perfect examples. Those albums show a clear cut case of a band slowly evolving into a close knit group that really knew what they were doing. Danzig V, however, is in a completely diferrent direction, gone are the melodic tunes that turned 99% of us on to Glenn in the first place. Melody is replaced by synthesis and samples, bells & whistles, with total disregard of musical content. It's sad to see someone like Glenn actually detracting from his voice. Have you ever seen a surreal painting by Van Gogh? Have you ever seen an impressionistic Salvador Dali painting? The answer is NO. I guess they were boring and one dimensional by perfecting their individual genres, right? Bricks Said: >I'm with a lot o' folks on this list who think that EAD is the Misfits >worst album. But that doesn't mean anything. It's still Glenn. Yup no argument here, it's Glenn alright. SHITTY GLENN. But you all missed my point. Bands like Black Flag were getting big out in California and Jerry liked the style, the speed and intensity. Glenn did it either to satisfy Jerry, or possible to capitalize on the hardcore movement at the time. >As far as CG's point about Initium being the next logical step after >Walk Among Us, therefore EAD was all Jerry's influence, I say no way. >By your logic, Kryst the Konquerer should be the next step after EAD. >... I don't think it sounds like EAD at all. Again, I think EAD just shows Bricks are you that dimwitted? well I guess you do work for the government... What I was saying is that EAD was fast and boring like Kryst and Samhain is more like melodic punk 'ala Static age or Walk among us. Sure Samhain and early danzig are heavy but it's still a total departure from EAD. As far as you people talking about Glenn and his religious beliefs... He's stated time and again that he holds no stock in any religions, PERIOD. That my friends includes Satanism, Catholicism, or any other ISM. He flatly denies the existance of any higher power. BTW. for the record I believe Glenn could have known the meaning of AD. Hence the album cover art, possibly a poke at how hypocritical ALL religions are? This however has absolutely nothing to do with musical content, which was my original thesis. The occult EDGE to his albums is simply a marketing ploy to attract you dopey cocksuckers, and that's about the only thing I agree with Jerry on. As far as BlackASSHOLEvil goes, excuse me if I don't play it 50 times in an attempt to like it, or justify it JUST BECAUSE it's Glenn. I listened to it once and decided it wasn't worth further attention. When it comes to music I tend to call a spade a spade. I think it sucks, and I'm not going to force myself to listen to something just because my IDOL put it out. Some of you are posting just that. That's elitist in the worst possible sense of the word, to convince yourselves that it's great and wonderful and NO ONE gets it but you, wonderful evil you. ~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~ "...your cunt's so big you can drive through a truck and every guy you meet knows you sure been fucked..." - Williamson/Pop Crimson Ghost - othello@magicnet.net -=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~ ------------------------------ From: VADER Subject: Man Whats Up With Glenn Date: Fri, 10 Jan 1997 13:18:31 -0500 Ok now I been hearing lots of not so cool shit about Danzig lately...I was wondering if any is true. First I know or think that he's fired his whole band right...did he even get rid of John Christ, how about Eerie Von????? Also I heard that he's doing Techno sh*t or Industrial crap.. what the f*ck is that... Any way I was just wondering because Danzig will be playing in my city in a few weeks. If it is all true then hell I rather stroke myself at home. Because the last time I saw Danzig he was awesome during the Dirty Black Summer Tour and if he's gonna continue to be a cock and do what he's doing he has lost a fan. Also I want to add I saw the Misfits recent tour 3 times already and Micheal Graves f*cking rules. I was very impressed. At first I was kinda sceptical about it..but man I waited all my life to see the Misfits and it still over the 300 shows i been to they where the best. Slayer is in the top ten too...and get a clue people who think slayer are Nazis or Satanic....there are what one song about Joeseph Mengala and they are Nazis.....Misfits wrote songs about aliens are they from outerspace..I dont think so....are they teen agers from mars...no...if they are now they are middle aged men from mars...so what hell....Now on the other hand Mercyful Fate they're satanic...they have said it....so where did this whole Slayer thing arise from anyway. Oh well ....fiend forever vader ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Jan 1997 12:45:37 -0800 From: tronya brown Subject: Earth AD and collection 2 records First time poster, long time reader. I have this earth ad records i bought for some kid in the neighborhood in like 85 or so. My record is really really THICK. I mean this record is has been thrown around stepped on and still has not a skip on it. Well a friend of mine has the same record but more recent pressing, and its really thin... flexable.. you could fold into a taco.. Someone told me that it was a german release of the record, but i dont think so. thats why i call upon the knowledge of fellow fiends to find out. Just a few weeks ago I bought 2 of the 'collection 2' records. I have the cd so i am not ever going to open them. I noticed that one record has a bar code sticker on the plastic that says carolyn records, and the other one does not have a bar code at all. Is there some meaning behind this? or i just got a record with no bar-code? Anyone know anything about a misfits/septic death 7"? whats it worth? ghoulevening all...

On the subject of painting leather jackets. I used to do this a lot. Acrylic paint is indeed what you want to use. Not so much to "let the leather breathe" -- cuz it sure as shit won't do that -- but because it's flexible. It dries into plastic, basically. (Try this... glob some acrylic paint onto a piece of plastic like a margarine lid, and then peel it off a few days later.) Acrylics will stick to most anything, they dry fast, they're easy to clean up (with soap and water) and when they dry they're waterproof! Artists oil paints are no good to use because they don't really ever dry (I'll spare you the art materials lesson). As soon as they start getting dry, they'll start cracking and maybe flaking, when they're on a leather jacket you're wearing around. I did it though, back before I knew anything! And it worked too -- cuz once the oil paints got dry to the touch, I painted over them with a layer of Clear Gloss Acrylic Varnish. This made a sandwich out of the leather and the varnish, with the oil paint held in place in between. It was real shiny-looking, but I just can't get the effect out of acrylics that I can get with oils sometimes. Your only other real choice is enamel paints. These are like Testors model paints or the paint in paint markers. This will work, but they dry really hard and inflexible, so once again they'll crack and chip a lot. With acrylic paints, don't go for the tubes. Get the stuff in jars. The stuff in the tubes is full of thickening agents, so the color won't be as vibrant, the paint won't go on as flat, and it won't cover the black leather as well. Also, tube paint is thicker; the thicker you pile the paint on to the leather, the more likely it is to crack (though the cracks aren't as severe as with enamel paints -- more like "splits"). You can thin acrylic paints with water, but that makes the paint layer weaker overall, so you want to avoid that. Make sure you look on the jars of paint to see if the color is "opaque" or not. If it's not, you'll want to paint the jacket with white first, and then paint your other color on top of that. If you screw up, don't be afraid to make corrections with black acrylic. I find that when it dries, a small spot of matte black is almost invisible on leather. Once you're done, you shouldn't have to let the acrylics dry longer than overnight. Once they're dry to the touch (you can run your hand over them) they're pretty much completely dry, unlike oils. They WILL stick to stuff... I've had to peel my back off of plenty of vinyl chairs -- but I've never seen any damage to the painting from that. Acrylics are pretty tough. But whether it sticks to vinyl is not a test of whether the paint is dry -- it will pretty much do that forever, maybe until there's enough dust on top of the painting to prevent it. And that's your punk rock lesson for the day! Now you can look the part. (Hessians take note also.) NEIL ------------------------------ From: rskogsta@wvu.edu Date: Fri, 10 Jan 1997 13:37:03 -0500 i really dig SAMHAIN and think that all three of the Danzig bands are pretty cool. i think it sucks that everyone insists upon comparing these three very different bands from three very different era's to one another. danzig, samhain and the misfits all kick ass for different reasons. at different times i have a different favorite, but i would never say one is better thatn the other. that's a really shitty thing to do to all of the people involved in any of those bands. it's okay to have a preference, but give the "misfits-are-better-than-samhain-is-better-than-danzig shit" a rest. i think its kind of stupid. i am interested in findig VHS copies of SAMHAIN or MISFITS shows. i already have the WHY BE SOMETHING YOUR NOT show on video, although my copy is "X" generation and thus not of the best quality. if you have something, e-mail me and we'll work out a deal. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Jan 1997 16:00:42 -0400 From: Jake Starr Subject: ADAM WEST a big thanks to tarry c. for the glowing review of our black cat gig. now i just gotta find a distortion box to run my vocals through so i can be cool and industrial. hey kids, come see ADAM WEST!

We dont feel like discussing what 138 means week in and week out for every new fiend that comes on here. We also dont want to hear about how you saw Saved By the Bell and saw the Crimson Ghost, cause that shit is been fucking beat to death too. Listen to the song asshole, what the fuck do you think it means???? If you dont know, call Glenn Danzig and ask him. Its 1-900-666-GLENN. Ask for Slim Whitman Let me guess, next you want to know the Misfits real names and who the hell Bobby Steele is. I'm dirtying the bible with this crap cause you flamed me in public, the least I can do is the same to you. You wanna keep it private, mail me in private. I aint slaggin new members, we were all one once, but dont come here expecting us to answer everyones questions every week, this aint 411. everyones favorite asshole ... .AZ and yea, I think Glenn meant to call Earth AD "Earth AZ" after me, but realized he didnt even know I was alive. ------------------------------ From: "Dorin M.

They were usually given free with music papers or magazines and the sound quality was stunningly abysmal. Some UK bands (the Sisters) included them with singles as limited runs and others (James Rays Gangwar for example) would hand them out at rare live shows. These little items can fetch an extortionate price if you can track them down. In the record pressing business though, I thought the term acetate referred to something else. After the masters had been cut, and before a test print in vinyl don't they normally do a print in really soft plastic just to test the grooves?? If these things get played more than about twice they die, so although collectable...not listenable. Just my tuppence (is that two cents worth?)

Okay, since we have newbies flaming us for not telling them...I'll be nice and tell them. Read the FAQ! We Are 138 is about the George Lucas film, "THX 1138", where we simply become numbers and androids. Not to name names, but the guy that flames AZ, he didn't insult you. It's just a running joke among fiends here about the number 138 and the Saved by the Bell episode. And it is improper to post a flame where you ask people not to post flames. : ) As far as the name of the new LP, what about "Evil Never Dies" or "The Second Coming" or make cataloging the LP very difficult and just call it "The Misfits". Since the "Misfits" LP is listed as "Collection I" everywhere, that is possible. As far as the Slayer thing, please stop! I hate the band, they have nothing to do with The Misfits, and I think their guitarist, Jeff Hanneman (sic?), is Jewish. Guess that kinda puts that one out. Hey, FEAR were considered a Nazi band for a decade or more. Their guitarist is African-American and their drummer is Hispanic so I guess that's out of the question. Anyway, I counted the word Slayer as many as The Misfits last ish, so it's a bit out of hand. L8R fiends.

Spider, the lead singer, is Rob Zombie's brother. And Powerman 5000 played at one of the same Ozzy shows that Glenn did. So that plus Glenn's friendship with Rob probably led to them being on the tour. The two groups (White Zombie and Powerman 5000) don't sound all that similar. Powerman 5000 has sort of a rap/metal sound to it, in a similar way Rage Against the Machine does. And that's not how I'd describe White Zombie. Perhaps the similarity is due to a shared childhood reading comics, watching horror movies, etc. Who knows ... On to another item, I don't if this has been posted or not yet (if it has, my apologies), but John Christ (advertised as "formerly of Danzig) has a track called "One Song" on Guitar World's "Smell the Fuzz: Guitars that Rule the World, Vol. 2". It's a pretty good song. Other tracks are done by Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, J. of White Zombie, and Ace Frehley. A record store near me had it hidden in the compilation section. Also, looking through a multimedia file promoting "The Crow" that I hadn't looked through in a while, James O'Barr, the creator/artist/writer, said that among the artists he listened to that influenced him when he first started the comic were the Misfits. I had heard about his other influences like Joy Division, Bauhaus, or Nick Cave but I never heard him talk of the Misfits before. Anyway, I just thought it was cool because I'm such a fan of his comic ... - BILE666. P.S. -- To "Just Another Fiend", please e-mail me about the Death Dealer thing.

They were origionally an ancient pagan symbol for life and renewal but they pointed clockwise like this... -----| | | | |-----|-----| | | | |----- It doesn't matter how you turn it or rotate it 45 degrees, If the bends in the arms are clockwise - it's the pagan symbol. On the other hand, Hitler got a hold of it and gave it a 180. It then ended up looking like this... | |----- | | |-----|-----| | | -----| | And all the sudden it's a symbol for the third Reich. Anyway, here's a thought for ya about the great leaders of the world - Napolean talked about a N.W.O. and took over Europe. Hitler talked about a N.W.O. and ended up starting a few World Wars. Clinton has talked about a N.W.O.... And finally a geography lesson... Ybor City is a part of Tampa, Florida. It is located just south and has it's own off-ramps, so I guess this makes it a separate city from Tampa but most people consider them one and the same. Thus endeth the lesson... j/k -Chris Ferrell rancor@sunline.net LastCaress on the IRC (DALnet) P.S. - Sorry I drew swastikas in the Bible, but it's informative... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 1997 18:43:40 -0500 From: marcia disilvestro Subject: Die, Die My Darling Fiends I am looking for a Die, Die My Darling 12" but I dont want to get ripped off if anyone wants to trade or sell or tell me how much they should be bought for please write me at h4f6x4rm@coastalnet.com Adam ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 1997 18:09:11 -0800 (PST) From: Robert Flemming Subject: 138 Performing in SF San Francisco's misfits-samhain-danzig Tribute Band 138 will be playing Tuesday January 14th at 9:45 at Club Boomerang located on Haight Street at the end of Haight near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Subject: And to think, i might end up coloring for a living... Hello Fiends... Oh wait, am i in the right place? you would think the way the last bible started out we where members of the slayer's list. I want to thank Patricia and Bobby, who where the only people who knew about Ybor City. Funny thing you live in the same state for almost 30 years and you never here of this city. By the way Patricia Liberty City is on the map, and so is Carol City. They don't want tourists to end up there by mistake, it might be their last. PtrMlr - actually there is a second series of Crimson Ghost about a crystal skull, though that one is hard to find. About the silkscreen thing - if you are having problems all you have to do is go to an art supply store, Pearl is in most of the major cities and some small ones. There are kits that come with everything you need, or the ink is a lot like printers ink so you could use that. there is a way of making a screen without the camera equipment or chemicals. there is a special film that you aply to the silk and you etch it out with a art knife (see i didn't use the X word ;) ) cfarrell- First press black vinyl Earth AD is $10 - 20 max. That place you saw it for $45 is a rip. shit i paid $35 for my purple and red vinyl Earth AD. The Halloween bag - well the number pressed, Hey Mark, you would know this, price $10. it came out with the newer release of WAU back in 1990. though i know Mark has all the dirt on that. Even though its not some really rare piece from the day, i framed mine and hung it on my wall. Misfits 101 - Not being SCREWED Part 2... well last time we talked about how to start out and where to go. Checking out the people you buy from. Well first thing is check out the local non chain record stores in you area, you might find some rare goodies that either can be added to your collection directly or used as trading material for Misfits stuff. Also record conventions. theses are great to go to, the ones in Miami sucked as far as Misfits stuff but i could always find trading pieces. I have a feeling that most of you who live in other states like NY, NJ, and CA might find some better stuff. Plus i have discussed this with some of the traders i deal with, they bring records with them to use in deal they make at the shows. you might not have $60 - 150 in cash on had to by a Misfits original but with a little cash a some good records you have a good chance of going home with a Misfits original. Also keep with you a list of what you are after at the show, it makes things very easy to locate and to remember when you go dealer to dealer. Plus keep you list of price values with you so if the prices are not at the top of you mind they are at hand and you will not likely get ripped off at the show. If a dealer gives you a price its not etched in stone, this is just as if you where at a flea market, you can bargan with these guys too. if you start of with a stupid low price you will bargan to what would be reasonable. The big step, you have trading material now what, well first contact some of the people who have ads in MMR or Flipside, practice on trades with them. after a while you can take your own ads out, trade straight, sell or auction for the money to pay for your Misfits records you want. But you really need to do a couple of good trades so you don't end up with the short end of the stick when you advertise and bring them to you. Start off with people in the states, Europeans and the Japanese can give you a hard time and a real run for your money if you have not done the trading thing. They play hard and i know even with really experienced traders have had rough times or put into situations that needed bailing out. Oh yeah, you can trade with the local record stores, you see a Misfits piece they would take some other rare hardcore or punk piece if you have for trade. Though its back to knowing all the other Music. You can't collect one band the way i have collected all these years without knowing the records from the other bands in and out. Most traders and sellers know the labels that will get them the money they need or used for trade. TOUCH AND GO, DISCORD, REVELATION, SST(ORIGINALS NO REPRESSES), SUDDEN DEATH, QUINTESSENCE, DANGERHOUSE, TAANG, POSHBOY, etc. then you remember goofy stuff, like Agent Orange's first 7" is very valuable since they put it out on their own, no known label. That the guy who wants to trade his Three hits does not want a 7" that was a common press on Poshboy records. It's lots of little things that you start to learn and make it even harder for some asshole to come along and rip you off. There was a guy who would have given me a Horror Business if i handed over on of 8 7" records off his list, each record on his list was worth 3 - 5 copies of Horror Business. What happens to the poor full who doesn't know his or her other records than the Misfits ;)!!! Well next time we start to learn more about the other records and what to look for. They might just mean a color vinyl hybrid for your collection, at least it did and still does for me.

But for the record, Glenn hase ben saying for at least the last 2-3 years that he likes NIN, (as well as other "industrial" bands like Godflesh) and as for Marilyn Manson, he took them on the road on the 2nd leg of the Danzig 4p tour in 1995, WELL before they became a mega-success. And anyway, Danzig 5 was completed a year before it was released (10/29/96) -- which was the very same day that Antichrist Superstar came out --what, do you think Glenn ran to the record store in the morning, bought their album, copied it, and had Danzig 5 done and in the stores by noon? > a close knit group that really knew what they were doing.

Listen to the songs on 5, regardless of whatever effects and noises have been ADDED, and you'll discover that the songs are the same as any Danzig songs. Look at the lyric book, and the way the verses are arranged, the rhyme schemes, or whatever -- it's all Danzig. > As far as you people talking about Glenn and his religious beliefs...

He said that he did not believe in some kind of magical being, but he did believe in God as a kind of universal power. When further asked if he believed in the Devil, he replied that if you believe in God then you must also believe in the Devil. (Rather Zoroastrian, isn't he?) I personally believe that whatever comes out of Glenn's mouth is usually whatever he feels like saying at the given moment.

An acetate is a metal plate with a softer vinyl covering that is used to test the grooves of a vinyl press.

Well, I have never been able to find official numbers on this weird item, but I know that MusicMan Records in NJ had lots of them available for $10 when I was there 2 years ago. At that point, they were 6 years old, so it's probably safe to assume there were lots of them made.

Then I heard the Misfits and wondered how fans of such a cool outfit could tolerate the parody that Mr. Danzig had so obviously become." See you 'Ham fiends at 5 Points! punkin ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jan 1997 13:42:14 +0200 From: Salem Subject: Danzig 5 Hey all, I just got myself a copy of blackacidevil and I think it's bull. Why, because there isn't deep songs like in previous releases. The more Danzig's voice gets distorted, the more I think he's not into singing anymore. If it wasn't for the good coupla songs where Glenn do really sings in, I would not have listened to it after that first time. Now, someone mentioned something about some real fucked up versions of 'sacrifice', and it really saddens me the way Glenn has been dealing with his music lately. I think he wants to go mainstream because the kind of the music he now plays. and because of him featuring a mainstream icon 'Jerry Cantrell' in his new album. And last but not least, his usage of a Black Sabbath cover in a studio album. He already is somehow mainstream because of 'mother' which drew a lot of fuckers claiming to be fans, fuckin poseurs, while they still know one album and listen to three songs in it. Same that happened with Metallica and their fucked up plan to even grow more popular with their new crap. The bottom line is, it's all business. There is nothing wrong with that, lose a fan and gain a dozen. If he continued on with that shit, he may even turn me out of his old stuff.

I just bought the Walk Among Us CD (first edition). I want ALL the Misfits recording on CD. Even alternate mixes of the same songs. What do I need to buy next ? Collection 1 ? 2 ?

He has such a great voice why would he ever want to distort it with static. I don't think he is following trends he's probably just expirementing with something new. I hate NIN and most industrial but I did enjoy Power Of Darkness and BLACKACIDEVIL. As for Earth AD I think it's a great album. Die Die My Darling, Green Hell, and Queen Wasp are great songs.

Glenn is time and again a day late and a dollar short. >Glenn is no genius. He saw how big NIN & Marilyn Manson were getting and he > wanted a stab at it. He's always been on the tail end of ANY fad as far as music > goes. He's no originator, he's a copycat. Wow, Strong comments that I respect. Every time someone rants that madly about something, I earn that much more respect for them. This is not a shared opinion though. I think that ever since the Cough Cool single came out, Glenn has made a gradual transition to "Blackassholedevil". Although it is his worst album in my opinion, i don't think he's really copying anyone. He's a smart guy, and I've always felt that bands like Nine inch dick were cheap rip offs of samhain. He sees that they're making money on what he used to do, and now he's cashing in on it. JUST LIKE THE MISFITS!!!! This last record (if you can call it that) was the most dramatic change since Danzig fizzled into existence, but I dont think he's any less a good musician for trying something new. (or old, depending on how you look at it). Im not denying hes looking to cash in, but nothings sacred. I realized that after the Misfits signed to geffen. This world is based on sell outs and wanna be's. I don't think Glenn involved himself in the punk scene because he wanted to be successful. I mean c'mon. Its punk! The Misfits are regarded as one of the 1st great north east HC / Punk bands, just as Black Flag was in CA., Minor Threat was in DC and Negative Approach was in MI. They are the most unique of these bands and if my memory serves me, the first band formed of the group. Thats just my opinion, but don't listen to me, Im a cocksucking poser.

He said that Glenn was cashing in on a fad and saw what manson and NIN were doing.. That's hilarious... So theoretically if Elvis Presley started rock and roll as they say, everyone that followed is cashing in on his rock and roll fad.. One thing I'd like to say.. Glenn could really care less what anyone here thinks, but I know he'd laugh at your pathetic comments. Do I smell a little jealousy Sure do! Listen, musicians are going to do what they want to do and who are any of us to tell any of them what to do.. especially you it seems cause you are a NATURAL BORN CRITIC..In fact I bet you ARE THE BEST MUSICIAN IN THE WORLD..A REAL FUCKING GENIUS! It's an art form and Glenn is not ripping off NIN and Manson... In fact... they dont even sound close. What makes me really respect Glenn is the fact that he knew he was gonna hear this retarded shit before he put 5 out but believed in it enough to put it out. It showed how much he really wanted to. ANd about the money..He'd make more money putting out stuff like 1, 2 , 3 and you know it. No one is buying 5 that likes just industrial, but if it was that classic metal all the metalheads would buy it and the metalheads are buying 5 anyway and then trashing it. Glenn has grown and the fact that hes touring clubs is a sign to me he doesnt need money. Glenn's having fun finally and im happy for him and when i see him on the 4th I'll be sure to tell him I like what he's doing... so maybe he'll keep doing it and that is being an individual and caring nothing about what people say... Glenn has his fans, and he has people jealous of him.. WHy these big Danzig things have to happen in the bible I dont know.. **Other stuff!** I got my rochester show... Its a good tape I suggest getting it.. It's on Mark's page somewhere... You can hear me in 20 eyes and TV Casualty tearing my throat apart..

I can appreciate when an artist feels the need to grow or "expand his horizons, but this recording is just not "Danzig" material. I lied to my self plenty of times when listening to Danzig's recent works... "it's not bad, its just... its just..." well hell, its just garbage!!!! trash, rehashed unoriginal crap. So..

He's not as sharp as he used to be, and that could well explain his recent actions (Like fucking over John, Chuck, and Eerie. Not to mention Rick). God knows I'm still pissed he left American.

Subject: This is the true HORROR BUSINESS... Hello fiends... First thing is with the post from CG, i do and don't agree with you. I do agree that the kid who had the record in the first place should have stuck with what he agreed on with Patricia. I have always believed in if you say you are going to do something you do it. No maybes no yes and go back on your word. The part i don't agree with is the kid who has it now should sell it. If the kid who has the record is on this list, this is from personal experience. If you sell that record now, you will be kicking yourself for years to come for doing so. I sold my Victims 7" on PLAN9 record, i though i needed the money and i was helping out a friend. I'm still pissed at myself for that and its been 4 years now. The money never lasts, and then you are left with nothing but the memories of owning a record that lots of other people are dying to get their hands on, including yourself. I see it this way CG, this kid is obviously the one ment to have the record at this point and time. You know what is to be is to be. I just think that all the stuff we do has a reason behind it, Patricia thought that by giving the first kid the record was the right thing to do in her mind. Unfortunately he did not uphold to his part of the deal, though i still for the life of me can't figure out why he sold it in the first place. Shit if i had it, it would never leave the house. I know of one fiend that had all his stuff in a vault box at a bank. This was confirmed when a friend of mine went to visit this nut and was taken to see his collection that was in a locked vault box, though that is getting carried away. Shit there Misfits records. AZ, if it was 411 then you could charge a quarter each time they asked a question ;) Oh, and a dollar if you send them to Misfits Central directly. Bile, actually with the Crow, you are right James O'Barr, never mentioned his liking of the Misfits. I have not seen this in any interview. Though in the first pressing of the Crow comics on Caliber Press the 4 comic mentions Legacy of Brutality in the writing on the back of the comic. The pressing that was done on Tundra press, the third book that finally finishes out the series, has a guy the Crow kills (look for the page that says Gravity). He is wearing a Black Flag t-shirt and the shirt he has over that, on the back says Misfits. Though from what i have heard about James is that he had witnessed the murder of his own fiance. if that is true, you can see the rage in him just in the drawings alone. The lyrics that are in the books are from Joy Division, The Cure, and some poetry. I guess this could be considered a Misfits sighting but that doesn't matter one way or another. Adam, you should pay anywhere from $3 - 40 on a Die Die My Darling. The higher end on the purple and or white vinyl ones. Its not easy finding one with an insert, i just lucked out. Though i still have not found a purple one with a good price yet. Misfits 101 - Learning the other stuff... Itchy - the only Necros 7" i have is the one on Gasatanka records - Tangled Up is what it is called. its worth a whole $10. The rarest is Sex Drive, which there are lots of bootlegs of that. Its very rare to the point that the members of the Necros do not have copies of their own from what i was told. it is the first 7" from Touch and Go Records(only 100 pressed). This is considered a good trading item for a Cough/Cool. they are priced the same if you try to buy one. Cheapest i saw one once $150. Though still the cheapest Cough/Cool i know of since it was offered to me $175. Unfortunately for me Taang records was a little to slow in writing back. Though at the time $25 was not a big deal in the difference. Necros had another 7" IQ32, there was two sleeves an one was rare, it was called the Skate Park Sleeve, though i never saw what it looked like. There was an LP called IQ32 also. that is usually $30-50. By the way this is all on Touch and Go. Touch and Go has some very valuable records that make for good trading or selling to get your Misfits record. the second release in 7"s was The Fix - Vengeance(200 pressed). Great song by the way, Tesco Vee does a cover of it on a label run by a Fiend, if i remember correctly the label is Staple Gun Records. The 7" can go for $175 - 300 with no problem. The Fix had another rare Touch and Go release called Jan's Room. - $75 - 150.(1000 pressed) Also if you can find it there is a list of the top 100 valued 7"a in punk and hardcore. its a british thing which makes things hard since the prices are all in pounds. My copy was faxed to me and is not fairing to well i must say. I do have to point out that the #1 is the Misfits Teenager From Mars acetate, being that there are only 5. Its not hard finding and putting together the first 10 from any label, plus those are usually the most valuable. Next time well hit on Discord, their fun to trade with, plus not as hard to find, right off bat i can thing of two places that have the Minor Threat 7" for sale and i don't mean Live at Buff Hall.

MISFITS CENTRAL WEB SITE ------------------------ First, Ryq Hinojos and I (but mostly Ryq) have been continuously updating the Guitar chord section of the web page, so anyone who hasn't seen it recently should check it out. We're still missing tab for some of the newer songs, as well as almost all the Undead stuff. (http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/guitar.html) Second, I updated the Collector page, the Pictures page, the Lyrics page, and the News page to give the whole site a more consistent look and make it easier to use. I removed a lot of dead links and updated others, eliminating stuff that wasn't really important. No major changes took place though - I just made it easier to handle. Third - there's a new Undead web page. Bobby Steele spent some time putting together a nice looking Undead web page with an online catalog. It's a lot better than his old page, and everyone should check it out. If you still haven't heard the Undead, don't waste time - go straight to: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/undead/ Finally - new Bible Subscribers, please check out the web page. Almost all your questions can be answered there, somewhere.

He says it was the best Misfits show ever and wants shots of the band in their Star Trek Halloween gear. The person who sends him the best set of photos will win a free ticket to the next Misfits show in Philadelphia. Send them to: Rocky Caiafa; PO Box 281; Glendood, NJ 07418 MISFITS BIBLE MAILING LIST -------------------------- I updated the mailing list program to make things run more smoothly, thanks to a nice perl script by our friend Robert Flemming. I now have an accurate count of Misfits Bible subscribers (1025). Our 1000th subscriber was everybody's friend Blag Jesus. Let me know if you experience any major unusual problems. I will probably have to shut the mailing list down permanently sometime in the summer between May and August due to the fact that I will be graduating from college. I would like to have a permanent Misfits newsgroup created by that time, so anyone who is familiar with the process of newsgroup creation, please contact me. FIEND CLUB ---------- Fiend Club stuff - the deal is the same as always. The band is still in the process of entering names into the database and John Grimm is working on a new postcard now. It will probably be sent out sometime in the spring. Be patient. The Fiend Club has never sent a mailing out to everyone at once and remember that membership is free. Also, if any of you are still interested, I still have several thousand of the tour postcards from the summer. If you want one, email a 32 cent stamp to me: Mark Kennedy; 630 Cabell Ave, Apt 4; Charlottesvill VA 22903 If you don't want it to be postmarked, please email a 5x7 inch envelope with 55 cents postage and I'll send you 4 or 5. NEW STUDIO ALBUM ---------------- New Album - The new Misfits album is still scheduled for April 8th (April 22nd in the worst case) release. The album is now tentatively titled "ATTACK OF THE MISFITS." TOUR DATES ---------- Rocky Caiafa gave me the new tour dates, updated as of January 17th: THE ATTACK TOUR with Sardonica opening 04/15/97 The Garage London, England 04/16/97 Fleece N Firkin Bristol, U.K. 04/17/97 Ormond Multimedia Center Dublin, Ireland 04/18/97 Venue Edinburg, Scotland 04/19/97 Bradford Rio Bradford, England 04/20/97 Foundry Birmingham, England 04/22/97 0dberg De Zwaan Heist, Belgium 04/23/97 Amsterdam, Holland 04/24/97 Zeche Essen, Germany 04/25/97 KB Malmo, Sweden 04/26/97 Dalboparken V0nerborg, Sweden 04/27/97 Gino Stockholm, Sweden 04/29/97 Tullikmari Tampere, Finland 04/30/97 Lepakko Helsinki, Finland 05/02/97 Markethalle Hamburg, Germany 05/03/97 Berlin, Germany 05/04/97 Nachtwerk Munich, Germany 05/05/97 Herford Kick Herford, Germany 05/06/97 Konne Island Leipzig, Germany 05/08/97 Ack Eskulap Poznan, Poland 05/09/97 Reay Prague, Czechoslovakia 05/10/97 Fzene Wein, Austria 05/11/97 Milan, Italy 05/13/97 Frontiera Rome, Italy 05/14/97 Bern Reitschule Switzerland 05/16/97 Spain 05/17/97 Spain 05/18/97 Spain 05/21/97 LA2 London, England As always, Rocky wants fiends who find reviews of shows to type them up and e-mail them to me for the website. He's planning on using the reviews for future Misfits press releases, so keep your eyes open. VIOLENT WORLD TRIBUTE ALBUM --------------------------- I spoke to Tom from Caroline yesterday and he mentioned that he has only received about 8 contest entries for the Violent World contest. I have reprinted Caroline's press release for the album below: VIOLENT WORLD - A Tribute To The Misfits Release date: February 11, 1997 Imagine mixing Metal, Hardcore, East and West Coast Punk, Krishnacore and Vegan Straight Edge with the outrageous b-movie horror fixation of the Misfits. You'd have the Violent World: a homage to one of the greatest punk rock bands ever by some of the best rock bands of the 1990's, bands that would not be the same today without the Misfits. Violent World consists of 14 never-before-released Misfits covers which were recorded exclusively for this record. Many of these bands, including Snapcase, Therapy? and Pennywise have added these versions to their live sets, futher preaching the Misfits' ever-growing legacy to new legions of fans across the country and around the world. The bands on this compilation chose what song to cover and with whom they would record it. They chose people like the legendary hardcore guru Don Fury, producer of CIV and Quicksand, who recorded both the Bouncing Soles and Sick Of It All tracks and Bill Stevenson of Descendents, All and Black Flag fame, who produced the Shades Apart track. Track List: Side 1 1. She - Snapcase 2. Astro Zombies - Pennywise 3. 20 Eyes - Shades Apart 4. TV Casualty - Tanner 5. Where Eagles Dare - Therapy? 6. London Dungeon - Prong 7. Death Comes Ripping - 108 Side 2 1. Mommy, Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight? - Bouncing Souls 2. Ghouls Night Out - Goldfinger 3. Horror Business - Deadguy 4. All Hell Breaks Loose - Sick Of It All 5. Last Caress - NOFX 6. Earth A.D. - Earth Crisis 7. Return Of The Fly - Farside _________________________________________________________________ ASSORTED INFO: The album was produced by Tom Bejgrowicz who also produced the Misfits Box Set and Collection II. The album will be released in limited quantities of Orange, Green, and White vinyl, not to mention a permanent issue of black vinyl, and the usual CD and cassette.

HAIL TO MISFITS TRIBUTE ALBUM ---------------------------------------------- Yes, I know it's confusing, but there is another completely separate tribute album, put out by a label in Sweden. It features 30 tracks by 19 bands: HELL ON EARTH...HAIL TO MISFITS ------------------------------- Tribute Records: TR004 December 1996 1 Angelfuck | Where Eagles Dare | Hollywood Babylon Death Comes Ripping | Bloodfeast | Bullet | Devils Whorehouse Return Of The Fly | Night Of The Living Dead | Some Kinda Hate Green Hell | She | Hybrid Moments | Ghouls Night Out | Queen Wasp Halloween II | Vampira | Astro Zombies | London Dungeon | Devilock Children In Heat | Demonomania | Who Killed Marilyn? | Earth A.D.

As far as I know, the album is still only available in Sweden, but our f(r)iend Thomas Envall from the mailing list has promised to help out. Here's what he sent me in a recent email: >Records are silly expensive in Sweden and in the shops you got to pay $20 >to $25 for a CD, that's why I usually buy records by mailorder from >overseas, but I can't do that on Swedish records of course. > >So, I thought that if there are more fiends interrested in getting hold >of "Hell on earth...hail to Misfits" they can drop me an email and I will >try contacting the record company to get a better price if I buy a bunch. > >My email: Thomas.Envall@emw.ericsson.se So, if you are interested in obtaining a copy, contact Thomas and he'll try to help you out. OTHER MISFITS ALBUMS -------------------- Yes, as some of you have heard, Evilive will be out on CD during the summer. Earth AD was reissued on CD in October, and the Static Age album should be out as a separate CD sometime in the next year. All of these releases will be on Caroline. Those of you still looking for Samhain CDs are probably going to have a hard time. That stuff is out of print and will never be put out by Caroline again. Glenn has promised to reissue it on his new label, which in theory would be Hollywood Recorsds. Speaking of Glenn... DANZIG TOUR ----------- Here are all the dates I have, sent to me by EVB, which she collected from a number of sources. Josh Lazie (Eerie's replacement on bass) pospted to the Danzig newsgroup that the tour will start on the 14th in Alabama, so I assume the Texas dates were cancelled. Eerie mentions a lot of these on the Danzig hotline: (201) 939-1267.

Misfits Portfolio + other news Earth A.D. Gold For Sale Not pissed at this fiend, are you... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 00:04:38 From: PRH Subject: Where's Bobby? and bemoaning my stupidity Hey you guys, First I'd love to know how come you kids arent screaming about the lack of Bobby Steele posts!? sure maybe he's a little too interested in money ;P but hey he is the only REAL punk I know! So where is he? Whats Times Square up to? what's doin with the Undead even? then Brett noted: to CG's observation that he felt Glenns occult affectation was just that, an affectation: >you obviously haven't seen pictures of his house. HMMMM! talk about judgemental. Well, you obviously havent seen pictures of MY house, or you'd have me arrested, I guess. Or pictures of EVB's home, you'd assume she was a horny 15 year old with a thing for horses and their genitalia instead of the lovely farouche lady we all know her to be. (not to mention a FOG:for you non-Clinton fans, that would read, Friend of Glenn) Seriously, Brett, you cant judge a book by the way it wears its hair, and Glenn was always a big collector of crap of ALL types. Actually, mostly he collects things that he finds amusing, like most of us do, and if you want to read something more into it than is truly there, go right ahead. He thinks those religious statues are FUNNY, nothing more. The more sinister looking stuff is merely cool, to him. He's not such a serious guy, you all. He's basically a pretty silly guy. If he wants to project himself an 'evil' image for the MTV type audience, let him. You of all people ought to know better. Can't you recognise a puton when you see/hear it? And then Jake said: >but i ain't giving up the booty, dig? BULLSHIT, baby! I know what a slut you are! ;* So how was the water in CG's toilet, cold AND deep? or what? Inquiring minds want to know! GO SEE ADAM WEST EVERYBODY! they blow the new Misfits AWAY! >Oh yeah...If any of you are friends w/ Crimson Ghost tell that punk >he has "Shit for BRAINS!" > >Another Devil Denied, >DEVILMAN138 > Well, I told him, but he told me to shut the fuck up. Hey Mark, werent we gonna try to keep flames out of the bible henceforth? >From: John Ward >Subject: Seattle, EVB > >Over the Xmas holiday I was back in Jersey and while flipping through the racks >at (I think) a Wall store I found a CD entitled "Scary Music by Eerie Von" or >something like that. Unfortunatley I had already found another CD I wanted to >buy and couldn't get the EVB album but I thought some of you might be >interested, and I don't recall this album being mentioned on the MB in the past >few months that I can remember. EVB! wow! I'd love to have the EVB album! have you been holding out on me, Elizabeth? And to Tammy, and anyone else who saw CG's remarks regarding my long lost Horror Biz 7 inch, well, easy come easy go. I give just about everything I have of value away, thats my Xian ministry. I like to make people happy. I gave Mark my Victims Plan 9 release, and I'm very glad I did. I dont understand why these records are so valuable. I dont understand why people need to pay huge amounts of money for basically worthless things. I'm still scratching my head over the whole thing. Anyway, the bottom line was, I was upset because the young man I gave my black 7" to promised me something simple: that he'd let me know if he ever wanted or needed money and was tempted to part with it. I dont care about the fucking record, I was upset because the agreement wasnt kept. Thats all. My faith in human nature was shattered, but other than that, I remain bloodied but unbowed. La de fuckin da. love, p "homo superior in my interior, but from the skin out I'm homosapien too..." ---P. Shelley who sure oughta know ------------------------------ From: MR BENJAMIN W BARNARD Date: Tue, 14 Jan 1997 20:10:57, Subject: videos,painting,etc Hell Fiends, With all the folks advertising videos here, I will promote my collection as well. Along with many Misfits shows, I have over 100 individual shows including, but not limited to: Danzig, Samhain, GG Allin, Ramones, GWAR, L7, Slayer (not nazi), and many other "metal" bands. I prefer to trade, but can accept $15 for 120 minutes worth of material. This is comparable to the offers of others, I use Maxell Gold video tapes, and ship Priority mail anywhere in the US. E-mail me for a full list... As far as painting on jackets, I find water-based acrylics best. I had some old paint left over from lead miniatures which put a Danzig skull (among other "decorations") on my jacket over 3 years ago. To this day, not a scratch or crack, the skull is lookin' dirty though! I used a paintbrush, airbrush will probably work too, but mine collects dust. Another thing to add is that the quality of the leather has to do with the staying power as well. I recently went to a Misfits show in Oct. replete with a gigantic, freshly painted Crimson Ghost on the back of a cheap leather jacket-turned-vest. By shows end everyone around me looked as though they needed Head&Shoulders and my masterpiece looked like s**t. Well,actually the well worn look was cool also, but next time it may all come off. .....Another mindless rambling posted by, BEN ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 1997 01:45:38 From: Misanthrope Subject: DANZIG VIDEOS i'm looking for Danzig videos.....It's Coming Down-uncut version and Until You Call On The Dark.......i'm also looking for the Donahue show with Marilyn Manson on it and their appearance on the John Stewart show. ........if anyone knows where i might be able to obtain these please e-mail me and let me know. ps--if anyone is going to be at the Marilyn Manson concert in Dayton, Ohio...

By the way this > is all on Touch and Go. Touch and Go has some very valuable records that > make for good trading or selling to get your Misfits record. the second > release in 7"s was The Fix - Vengeance(200 pressed). Great song by the > way, Tesco Vee does a cover of it on a label run by a Fiend, if i remember > correctly the label is Staple Gun Records. The 7" can go for $175 - 300 > with no problem. The Fix had another rare Touch and Go release called Jan's > Room. - $75 - 150.(1000 pressed) the fix "vengeance" 7" might be harder to find than the necors "sex drive." i say that mainly cuz i've been searching for one for close to 10 years. i know dave stimson, the guy who started touch & go with tesco, and he only has one left...which he won't sell me. he's been keeping his eyes open for years to find me this record to no avail. he did give me an original unfolded, uncut necros "sex drive" sleeve, though; so i can't fault him! the fix "jan's room" 7" shows up quite often. > Also if you can find it there is a list of the top 100 valued 7"a in punk > and hardcore. its a british thing which makes things hard since the prices > are all in pounds.

The original is on 12" vinyl and would cost you several hundred dollars. Unfortunately, there have been at least 11 different bootlegs of this EP, several of them on 7" vinyl, like yours.

Not the DANZIG 5 SUCKS AND LETS GOSSIP ABOUT GLENNS PERSONAL LIFE bible. Just checking. Do we need all the bullshit? All Apologies to those who actually post things related to the MISFITS. I am sorry to have waste this space, but I felt it was necessary. Does anyone agree that the box set should include everything, like every take and every mix that was made of every recording? The walk among us takes are not even on it as far as I can tell, and from the extensive listing on Misfits Central there is countless takes that do not appear on it. Perhaps they thought that would be overkill or that it would lose the continuity, but I disagree. I only listen to DISC #3 anyways. And lastly, a bit of a sad story I have to tell. My cough/cool and Glenn Danzig's Who Killed Marilyn? 7"'s where stolen from my home about a year or two ago. The sad part is that I firmly believe that the COUGH/COOL was an original press, although most people who own a copy probably think that too. :( ------------------------------ Date: 15 JAN 97 17:31:45 EST From: AZawodny@mobile.bam.com Subject: D-Generation No Misfits content here: I saw a couple of you posting about D-Generation on here.

The opening acts were Electric Hellfire Club and Powerman 5000 (Astro Creep 2000?) the latter being Rob Zombie's brother's band. I am not interested in slinging mud at Glenn or the Misfits, but I will say that, in my opinion, the show was not nearly as good as the previous four Danzig shows I've attended. The new "BAND" just didn't do the job that John, Eerie, and Chuck used to do. The set did not entirely consist of new music though. After an intro of "Overture of the Rebel Angels" they kicked off the show with (you guessed it) "Mother". They also played "Twist of Cain", "She Rides", "Long Way Back From Hell", and "Her Black Wings". A valient effort, but those dudes just looked too damn happy. They didn't carry the image or the sound of the old Danzig I used to rave over. The rest of the songs they played were off of "How the Gods Kill" and "Blackacidevil" with the exception of "Until You Call On the Dark". I don't know, I guess if you are a big fan of albums 3 and 5 this show is for you. I appreciate 1 and 2 far more than the others myself. Well, that's my story. It may be boring, but so was most of that concert. Grade: C ------------------------------ Date: 16 Jan 1997 11:42:22 -0000 From: Christoffer Jonsson Subject: Blackacidevil AGAIN!!! Ok, heres my opinion on Danzig 5 (whatever thats worth)... Its a fukkin great album but it does sound like NIN, but even more like Peace, Love and Pittbulls. Never heard of them? Theres this guy named Thstrm who sang in Ebba Grn (Swedens all-time biggest punkband) between 78-82. When they split he did a couple of VERY succesfull rock nroll albums with swedish lyrics. But then came the early 90s... He just said "Fukk this", formed Peace, Love and Pittbulls and did an industrial album with english lyrics. Mind you, this was when NIN where completly unknown! He lost his old fan base over night, but hes still releasing the industrial stuff. The thing Im trying to say is that Danzig 5 sounds exactly like Peace Love & Pittbulls, only faster. PLP is slower, heavier and more like the sound of tanks crushing a pile of human skulls. So, if you like Blackacidevil (But it almost looks like im the only one...) you should definitely check out Peace Love and Pittbulls.

Very briefly, TITR came together a couple of years ago when Norm Arenas (108, Shelter, Project Kate, etc.) was pretty much drained from his role as the man behind Anti-Matter zine. All of his money, time, energy, and health was depleted. Soon after, he teamed up with Chris Daly (of Resurrection fame), Scott Winegard (Fountainhead), and Garret Klahn (Copper) to form Texas is the Reason. Yes, the name comes from "Bullet," no, they are NOT a Misfits cover band. They aren't even a "punk" band. In fact, Garret HATES the Misfits, Norm could care less, and the only two in the band who actually listen to the Misfits are Scott and Chris (bassist and drummer - therefore not primarily involved in the initialization of the songs). If anyone is still interested, you can check them out within the next month or so because they are doing a national tour with the Promise Ring and will no doubt be within driving distance. If you need tour dates, e'mail me. I must warn you that they are NOT A PUNK BAND BY ANY MEANS. Surprisingly enough, they can play more than three chords in one song!!! They're more in line with that post-hardcore/emotional rock movement led by bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap'n Jazz, and Quicksand. In fact, Norm uses either Walter or Tommy's old rig from Quicksand... ANyway... Oh, speaking of Sunny Day Real Estate, I'm looking for a copy of the 7" issued to Pushead Fan Club members three years ago. I forget the exact name of it, but I believe it's on blue vinyl. If any of you were in the club back at the time and received a copy, AND ARE NOT TOO ATTACHED TO IT, please contact me and I will either buy it or trade for it. I am not a collector, I simply love(d) the band. FINALLY, here's my gratuitous reminder to those interested in vintage, top-of-the-line MISFITS VIDEO FOOTAGE. For the past two years +, I've been resposible for the dubbing and distribution of the BIBLE ONLY Misfits video compilation entitled, "Evil is as Evil Does." It's two hours of concerts and videos from back in the days where Michale was still crapping in his hands and rubbing it in his hair (this is not a slight by any means). The video is available for $10 ppd directly from me. I also have the Creepy Compilation video available for $10 ppd and the audio compilation "Hymns from Hell" available for $4 ppd. Once again I must point out that these tapes would not be possible without the effort and personal library of the great EVB.

It is interesting because they cover the live version of Horror Business from Evilive, and do a great job at it.

Opening up for them was powerman 5000, which was a terrible cross between rage against the machine and white zombie, and also the electric hellfire club. They aren't exactly my piece of pie but the girl they whipped was cool. Anyway danzig came on at 9:30, the place was packed, I was right up at the front. They opened up with mother, and everyone went crazy. They went on to play sacrifice, blackacidevil, she rides, twist of cain, until you call on the dark, deep, dirty black summer, and some others i can't remember. They didn't play sistanis, that saddened me. Glenn really looked like he was enjoying himself, he was running around, and going into frenzies. Lazie and Victor just kept on smiling the whole time. By the way, I saw Justin from the MB there, although we didn't talk, we were standing next to each other the whole time, without even realizing it, you were the guy with the orange mohawk.

It would of been better if they would of opened the fuckn doors on time rather than making the fans freeze outside while Glenn was in his heated bus right beside everyone. I liked the first group,Powerman5000,but if you dont like rap you wont like these guys. They are kinda a mix between Rage and Korn. Then The Electric Hellfire club,2 words Smoke break.These guys are awful,satanic disco. So after Frankie Goes to Hell got off the devil himself took the stage. He opened with Mother and closed with Snakes of Christ. He didnt do to many off his new lp thank God. Of what I remember he did Mother,Snakes of Christ,Twist of Cain,Dirty Black Summer,Her Black Wings,Long Way Back From Hell,Brand New God,Its Coming Down, and thats about all I remember. As I was right in front of him and he asked "What do ya want hear, and when I yelled "Horror Business" he laughed. So thats my bit on the Danzig show. Here is my video list again.

I wanted to hear what Michale Graves sounded like since the show that was supposed to be played in Vancouver was cancelled by the 'Fits due to a family illness. Well, I must say that I am impressed. First of all, he sounds nothing like glenn and therefore these claims of a carbon-copy of glenn are false. Second, his vocal style and the new sound he brings to the Misfits in regards to their older tunes, makes the music very interesting and enjoyable (listen to Static Age and TV Casualty on the Birch Hill tape). Third, I think that the new stuff that they are producing is "quality misfit" sound...Blacklight, American Psycho, Walk Among Us, and the Haunting have great potential for being classics. It will be very interesting to hear the studio versions. It will be nice to hear a new and refreshing sound from this great band. And yes, I know Glenn is part of the Misfits and I do share some of the loyalty in that it isn't the same without him, however, I also know that Jerry is just as equal a member of the Misfits as Glenn and deserves to continue the bands legacy. He is providing the fans with more great music and he is doing a first rate job by always putting the fans first...how many other bands would do this? Diabolos'97 P.S. Anyone interested in hearing the New Misfits really ought to get these recordings or the ones posted by Chris Ternes. Both Mark Lerret and Chris do excellent work and are very reliable in delivering the final product.

I tried emailing Thomas Envall about getting ahold of the Sewdish tribute album, but my mail got returned as "Undeliverable" and something about his server being messed up or something. Thomas if you are reading this I am interested so if you can email me that's cool. I know it was said that Samhain CD's are rare, but I've recently found good used copies of both "Final Descent" and "November Coming Fire" on CD for about $8-10 each. So if you are looking for the stuff I guess you should just go to used record stores and places like that. Also to anyone out there who is trying to collect rare albums be very wary of bootlegs. I had a record store worker try and convince me this weekend that an obvious bootleg was real. After I told him why it was a bootleg he backed down and explained that ever since the Misfits got back together they were selling a lot of Misfits' stuff to inexperienced and knieve collectors, and could therefore get away with cheating people. Hopefully this isn't a trend amongst all record stores, but I guess the 'fits newfound popularity isn't helping.

Take a few minutes and visit Kevin's page at: http://www.student.toplinks.com/hp/Kuder/misfits.htm All I've got to say is that Kevin is one hell of an artist that has obviously taken a lot of time and effort into putting together a really cool portfolio. For right around $11 you'll get 4 super cool renderings of Jerry, Glenn, Doyle, and the band members heads impaled on spikes. When you visit the page you'll see exactly what you'll get. Personally, I think these renderings would be great for framing and would also be a cool thing to get autographed. As someone who attempts to get people to check out my band's demo (Devilock) (shameless plug there), I know how hard it is for people to get noticed, so check out Kevin's page at least. He deserves to get some recognition for his work. Thanks in advance. Other news: To add to the Danzig Tour List: 2/09/97 Newport Music Hall Columbus, Oh. Tickets: $18.50 (ouch) The Swedish Misfits Tribute: Hell On Earth - Hail To The Misfits can be ordered through Music Express (or at least that's what their page says) for $28.41 (dont ask me about the funky price). I'm curious if someone has ever ordered from them? Their addy is: www.musicexpress.com Just for anyone in the Ohio area that is interested, Devilock will soon be heading back out to play after a long absence of looking for a new drummer. Should be in the next month or so. And our most recent demo is still available for $4 with 5 Fit's tracks.

Any intrest? -Jon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 23:45:43 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: Not pissed at this fiend, are you... Hello Fiends... It seems we have that usual Glenn is good, VS Glenn is bad. This is how i see it, not everyone is going to agree. Especially with the release of Blackacidevil. I have friends that now refuss to go see Danzig because of his new sound and lack of John, Eerie and Chuck. But i thing this is nothing new either. Misfits to Samhain to Danzig. I figured that when CG said what he said that Brett would be there to take Glenn's side in things. I don't think Glenn is stupid or that the whole Occult thing is a marketing ploy. As i said before searching for a copy of the Septuagint, is not something that most people pull out of the clear blue sky. But CG is right in the fact that after the CD came out, a lot of fiends went to one side or the other, but some just could not let go and played the CD till they found something they could say they liked. I know after listing to it once what songs i liked and what i did not. it was a little upsetting since i usually like all the songs off the other Danzig lps. But he did what he did, he was not doing this for us he did it to satisfy himself. If he wanted to make us happy then we would probably still be listening to the Misfits with Glenn singing lead now. But that would be a sad thing too, we would have never had Samhain or Danzig. So it all goes back again to a very simple thing of "Everything Happens For A Reason." Who knows what will be next, the only thing though, some of the stuff does sound more like Einstuerzende Neubauten(which they spelled wrong in the interview)which is good industrial. Actually there is a lot of Industrial bands from the mid 80's and early 90's that are much better than what is out today. By the way Brett, i hate to break this to you, but the wrestlers go from the WCW and WWF back and forth all the time, see to them its who will give them the most money. Hogan lost his name and image since it is owned and trademarked to the WWF. Pipper was not effected since these laws came after he had left the WWF. Misanthrope - the Beware 7" is a bootleg, Beware was only pressed as a 12" on Cherry Red Records in England. and if you go look into some of the bibles from last week or i think it was the week before, i did a detailing on the Beware 12". and gave some info about the bootlegs. Ken, didn't you get the Beware 7" boot from me and Eric? if i'm correct it was on green vinyl. Oh by the way the 7" is not worth a thing, you can pick up stuff like that for $5 - 10. Misfits 101... Discord as a trading and selling item well the records can fetch a nice sum of money if you know the right ones to buy. Like the Out of Step 12" is worth $30 - 60. though you have to know that the back of the sleeve has to be all black. You have to make sure it does not say made in France anywhere on the sleeve. Another thing is The Flex Your Head comp is valuable only when you see a violin on the cover. But enough of that, the money as usual is in the 7"s. THIS GOES FOR ALL LABELS!!! there are some LPs that can get some great trading action or bring in the bucks but the 7"s is where you can really make a killing. Now you are asking where do i get the info for Discord, simple and it will only cost a couple of bucks. Discord released a 12" called Four old 7"s on a 12". this comes with an insert that has all lyrics plus the story of Discord and a run down of pressings for the first 6, 7"s. Oh and read the little print, like a releas #4 1/2, which is a Necros 7", boy weren't they on Touch and Go ;)? Same deal with the Victims, they where on other labels but there just happens to be on 7" on PLAN9. You have to see it as this, not every collector is collecting the Misfits, and there are a lot of people who do the same thing i do to collect. They come across a Misfits record, know it will work out for a good trade or sell to get money. That is the situation of several of the people who take ads in Maximum Rock and Roll or Flipside. Though i never really liked dealing with Flipside, they always screwed up the ads i took out. well Next time we talk getting Ready to play with the big boys, selling to get your Misfits collection. Also we will talk a little SST.(My fave label, makes me think about arguing over Soundgarden ;) ). Danzig review: well i know you are wanting to here about the Danzig show. it was just a sad state of things. First Sunrise was like a vast waste land. the place was so empty it was not even funny. And back in May 1995 the place was packed for Danzig. The first two acts sucked so bad. Powerman 5000 sounded horrable, Rob Zombies brother even came into the audiance after their set and gave out stickers. The second act was real bad, all they did was sing about Satan, shit Satan would have left his seat if he had to sit through this band. Plus they had some woman dresses in tap pants, see through shirt, black bra and a pink fur mini jacket dancing on stage. Danzig people i have seen from show to show year to year were no where to be found. Though to teenagers that were the only cool kids at the Misfits show during the summer found me. I gave them tickets to the two extra third row seets i had. I found out after the show was over that some shitty Florida magazine made the show part of a journalism project. The Grand Comparison of Christian Rock which played at Sunrise the night before to Devil Music ie Danzig Saturday Night January 18,1997. Well i am not sure if Glenn knew this, these people where given good seats, back stage passes, and free beer in the back. Wait, i don't think Christians can drink beer on a Sunday till after 1PM and it was Sunday at 12am ;). Danzig on stage, Glenn was singing it with that powerful voice of his, Joey must have been really parcticing his drums since the last i saw him. He has gotten real good, though he is still no Chuck Biscuits. Tommy can pick up a song well but again it needed John Christ, also Eerie has a lot more stage presence and could wield the bass, that made Danzig, Danzig. Its weird not seeing Danzig not as Danzig that i have known since 1988. They started out with Mother. they did a couple of the new songs, Deep, 7th House, Sacrifice, Hint of Her Blood, Power of Darkness, and Hand of Doom, they did Dirty Black Summer, Twist of Cain, Long Way Back From Hell, Left Hand Black, Bringer of Death, Until You Call on the Dark, Her Black Wings( i remember this one very well cause Glenn came to sing with us. I was balanced with my chin and hands on his knee as me and 5 others came to sing the chorus.) Meeting with Glenn was odd, I have met with him before and there was something really wrong. This is a man who can and will talk it up with the best of them. I should know, i have argued with him and i am the last to give up the LAST WORD!!! Though he is the same. Glenn is holding a rare alternate Horror Business sleeve, looks it over and I say Bobby says hello, nothing, BOBBY STEELE SAID TO SAY HELLO, Glenn, "Bobby," shaking his head and smiles. At that point i was being pressured by the road fool who would not let Glenn use the pens i brought, i don't maybe its me, i always thought that gold or silver worked better on black, not a black sharpie on a black sleeve. Which was running out of ink. He didn't comment on the record sleeves as he had in the past. I ask if we could take a photo, the road fool said that only one person gets a photo with Glenn tonight. Shit i had more that enough film for the 15 or so people who where there. Though road fool got shit and i got a picture and took a picture of one of my trusted Misfits teens that followed me once more to their Nirvana. When i thanked Glenn, he did say your welcome and that spelled it out clear, his voice was weak, and very low. I think he must have strained it badly during the show, plus the weather we are having here did not help him. I doubt tour thought they would come to Sunny South Florida and have to deal with 40 degree weather. It was wicked cold and no one ran to Glenn when they saw him. They got him on the bus as fast as they could so he could get a leather Jacket. I can probably say that a majority of the road fools that are with Danzig will be sick in the next couple of days. Only an asshole would be in shorts at 1am when the temp was dropping real fast. As for Glenn I feel bad for him, this was a sad looking audience. They had to ask them to come up to the front to come and play. Though i kind of regretted that since it brought up some nasty people. One bitch was really bushing me, i shoved back, then i was kicked in the back of my leg. Though if she thought she hurt me she was badly mistaken. Nothing like having a 200 pound guy fall on your head and neck into a wood at the Misfits show. Sound wise Danzig sounded great. the new songs sound better live. Oh, one detail, there will be a tour book out. He has a professional Photographer on tour doing the photos for it. You can't miss her, she's all over the stage with her camera and assistant. Well the t-shirts are ok ($22) , no long sleeves which pissed me off. Plus they printed wrong info on the back, Sunrise is a city in Florida, part of Broward County. They printed Miami Fl, which was not where they were. Miami is a city in the county of Dade and a 45 minute to an hour drive away. Thats it for the review. It seemed a short set, though i might be a little off since my watch was 20 minutes off. I just could not figure why the show was over before 11PM. Though still much less than the sets i have seen before.

Hope this solves the problem... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 21 Jan 1997 03:21:41 -0500 From: "m.s.k" Subject: VIOLENT WORLD TRIBUTE & MORE Hey Fiends - I've been listening to my promo copy of Caroline's VIOLENT WORLD: A Tribute To The Misfits for the past few days. The 14 total tracks add up to about 30 minutes of interesting cover tunes. I definitely think it's worth picking up - it's certainly entertaining - and some of the bands really came up with some cool interpretations of the songs. I'll just review it song by song. Keep in mind that I've never heard any other songs by any of these bands, except for Prong: Track 1: Snapcase - She I really like this version. It's about as fast as the original, and has a similar feel, but the guy's voice is completely different, and the guitarist adds an interesting repeating guitar effect. Track 2: Pennywise - Astro Zombies This is a pretty standard true-to-the-original cover. I was hoping for something like Teevie's cover of the song from a few years ago, but these guys didn't change the song that much. Still a cool cover. Track 3: Shades Apart - 20 Eyes I really like this version too. It's a slowed down cover with some samples from the original and Evilive versions. The guy has a good voice and sings the song well. One of my favorites on the album. Track 4: Tanner - TV Casualties The music is pretty accurate, but the vocals are kind of unusual. Track 5: Therapy? - Where Eagles Dare A good cover of the song, with a short interesting horn section, and a slightly different guitar style. Track 6: Prong - London Dungeon Imagine the track "London Dungeon" appearing on Danzig 5 in an industrialized form... it actually sounds really cool. I don't like industrial, but this cover is really unique and catchy. Track 7-9: 108- Death Comes Ripping Bouncing Souls - Mommy Goldfinger - Ghouls Night Out There's nothing wrong with these tracks, but they're not as memorable as the rest. Very solid tracks. Track 10: Deadguy - Horror Business This is hilarious. Deadguy's drummer sent me a copy of this over the summer and I thought it was great. I still do. It's a cover of the Evilive version in which Glenn yells at the crowd between lines of the song. Track 11: Sick Of It All - All Hell Breaks Loose Cool version with great drums. Track 12: NOFX - Last Caress This version would be fine if not for the fact that the guy sort of got the lyrics wrong in one or two parts. Other than that, it has a sort of surprising upbeat tone to it, unlike the original. Track 13: Earth Crisis - Earth AD This is the most interesting version on the whole album. It's amazingly harsh and brutal - the heaviest Misfits cover I've ever heard. They sort of interpreted the guitar their on way, so that it sounds like a different song with the same lyrics. This is a really really cool cover, if you can get over the guy's vocals. Track 14: Farside - Return Of The Fly The best tune on the album - a really nice, sort of humorous cover. The guy also has the right kind of voice for the song, so it comes off sounding great. So that's my take on the album. I'd go pick it up, or attempt to win the contest featured on the news page. The album will be out Tuesday February 11th all over the US. --- I also learned some interesting facts for all you collectors... Evilive will be reissued on CD on March 11th. A new LP pressing will also be reissued - this LP pressing has a remastered cover and back cover sleeve, and completely different center label stickers with the new Caroline logo. By the way, Phoenix Records in Waterbury, CT has a black "Better Dead On Red" sleeve BULLET 7" for $90. Sorry, I don't know the phone # or address. --- Bobby Steele will have the new Times Square ready within the next few weeks. It will be available for $7.50 plus $4.00 shipping in the US by check or money order from: POST MORTEM RECORDS PO BOX 358 NEW MILFORD, NJ 07646 Anyone outside the US, please e-mail Bobby (undead@juno.com) for rates. Bobby's been missing from the bible lately because he's so busy working on Times Square - CD and record release party. Here's something interesting: Bobby sent some demos of the newer Undead tracks to Caroline Records, who had expressed some interest in signing the Undead to the label. Unfortunately, he received the tape back a few weeks later with a little note like "Not what we're interested in at this time." Who knows if they even listened to it. Caroline has The Misfits, had Samhain, and has Eerie Von. Why not Bobby Steele? Please let Caroline Records know that they made a mistake by not signing the Undead.

I was merely stating the fact that the way he decorates his house proves that he really does have an interest in the "occult" or religion or whatever. I never said anything about him actually believing in anything in particular, nor did I make ANY sort of judgment. All I meant was to show that CG's idea (that Glenn simply does all this to get fans) is wrong.

Pipper was not effected since these laws came > after he had left the WWF. no, no, no, Tammy, Hogan was in WCW for a couple years while still wearing the yellow and red. He just switched to the black and silver/white during last summer. And he still has the same name, he just added "Hollywood." Anyway, the WWF is still superior...and the only reason WCW Nitro is doing better than Raw is because guys who made their fame in the WWF took off for Ted Turner's $$$. And it ain't "law" that made Hall and Nash (formerly Ramon and Diesel) change their names; the WWF simply owned the rights to the names -- like trademarked characters. Anyway, the important thing is that I just regained the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Title in my home town of San Antonio Texas, and all the chicks loved it. -HBK ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 16:19:51 +0100 From: fakirpro Subject: Is Glenn still cool ??? I'm asking this question because in the early eighties, right when Walk Among Us came out, I wrote to the Misfits because I ran a punk zine and wanted to do a feature about them. Guess what ? Glenn sent me a huge package with the skull effigy on it, loaded with Misfits flyers, stickers and stuff, and he also wrote me a kind (yes !) letter on the back of a teared apart Evillive 7" cover ! He drew some candles and himself on it too ! I thought the Misfits were the greatest band on earth, and I got this ! I figured God (or the DevilGod) existed somewhere. I now treasure this old package like... well, like what you guess it's worth to me. I though this was really cool. Did any of you ever got that kind of feedback from him ? Does he still answers personnaly some of his mail ? Share on the bible, or email me.

Actually I think that I remember you from the show where you standing at the front?? I don't think that was their best show ever. It wasn't bad or anything (I mean how could it be) but I don't see any distinguising characteristics that would make it the best. The only thing that I can remember different is that the pit was at least 100 times worse than usual. If that makes it good then I guess it was the best. The pit does to some degree measure the enjoyment of the crowd but only to some degree. It could have been just that there were more more rowdy people there or that people were more excited cause it was Halloween. Well anyway, not that I could pay that much attention cause my head was invariably under some idiot "crowd surfers" ass, either that or some part of their body was hitting me in the face, therefore obstructing my view. I think that memory lane was the best Halloween show and they should try to get pictures of that one. well actually that's because then I'd probably win...not that winning a ticket to the show is all that great. ok so I'm bitter, Leah ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 12:42:16 -0500 From: Chris Ferrell Subject: Sever, the Wicked Hello Fiends..

I just recently acquired this (my gf got it for me for X-Mas) and I have to say that I was very impressed with Static Age. I had heard a lot of the stuff on Legacy before, but this package puts it all in perspective. I can't understand why the record company decided not to release it - it was the perfect American counterpoint to "Never Mind the Bollocks" (I'll go into the reasonings why at a later date) - this is also very much a true "punk rock" album, no matter how anyone labels the Fits. The chord progressions and song structures built around a lot of 1950's songs. Also, unlike much of the British punk rock in the late 70's, The Misfits did not seem to try and remove the "black influences" from their music. Anyways - enough rambling.

First. For all you silly silly people that Feel Danzig has an affection for the occult, i know bands that definately have an obcession for the occult, some of the names of these bands are-marduk, Mayhem, Bestial Warlust, Dark Funeral, etc etc. You should really check that shit out before you go assuming Danzig has an affection for the occult, the real deal is out there, and it is not that bad, Musically it is kinda melodic but vocally i don't like it unless it is like Ulver, or Arcturus with nice Vocals.And it is fast!!!! I played bass For Pagan Hellfire and god dam it left on ol' firey feeling right up my arm! so if it is the occult you want listen to Black Metal! if you just want to complain about a guy who used to be cool, but now you think he is into the occult listen to Danshmig. YEs. Secondly, in refernce to Kevin Kuder's work I checked it out a couple of weeks ago. and it is really fuckin cool! And if Kevin is reading this, dude We did an article on you to with FREE ADVERTISING up this here Canada way. so i'll send one your way! anybody who wants to see a zine email me with your address and we'll send what ever copy we feel like sending! And if anybody could pass this little maeesage along to any of the Misfits present tell them to get their asses to Halifax, Nova Scotia cause all we have here is BonJovi, Green Day, and Nirvana Cover Bands.

I got the guy to sell it to me for $5. It's brand spankin new and it's an original. I didn't really know if it would be cool, but since it was misfits related, i bought it. And it really kicks ass. Anyone who hasn't seen it needs to. It's not really cheasy or anything, it actually has good action scenes and it's really entertaining. If anyone wants a copy I'll trade for Misfits video bootlegs or other old school misfits related sci-fi/horror films. judas606@concentric.net ------------------------------ From: MR HAROLD W JAFFE Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 16:05:04, -0500 Subject: sacrifice single i have a tape single of sacrifice for sale, it features the sacrifice radio edit, don't be afraid, and a 6 min. interview of glenn by rob zombie. it is unopened.

If you can sell it, it's got to be worth something. I've seen (and bought, for that matter) boot 7"ers up to $20. $20 is a nice amount of money for a record with a max of 5 songs on it. If someone will buy it, it can't be worthless. I suppose that's getting economically technical, but if there is a demand, and a relatively low supply... As far as Kerry wearing a Resistance shirt. I can't see anyone being dumb enough to wear that on MTV. Actually, when the hell was Slayer on MTV? I fear many people associate the word with the label, which is not necessarily true. I feel the box set could have been more complete. There is no need for the first two discs. They could have been replaced with live shows, and other outtakes. If you are going to the 2/11/96 Riviera Chi Danzig show, let me know and we'll hook up afterwards. I'm getting there early and going down front. I really hope that the crowd is tame, as I don't feel like breaking any more bones. The way I see it if all the dumb industrail people come, I've probably got little to worry about. I think Glenn has alienated a lot of his fans. Hell, if he was only doing Blackacidevil stuff, I don't think I'd be going.

Before a show here in Denver, through a radio station promotion, Glenn and the rest of the band did a signing. I think the lead singer of Prong who I heard was touring with them was there as well, but I can't remember for sure. Well, know well what a fan I am of his, the Misfits, SamHain, and Danzig, I was nervous as hell to meet him just out of fear that he might be an asshole. Lord knows I've heard enough shit about him on this list. My friend and I had a cool talk with him as it was toward the ending of the signing and not a whole lot of people were there. The whole band was cool as hell. Glenn was an incredibly cool guy who was nice as hell to all of the fans there. The whole band was cool. That's really all I have to say, just wanted to add a possitive to all of the negative crap.

I have a friend named Charlie Claggett who works at a record store in Virginia. This is one funny guy. He sent me a collection of his old band's demos. His band is called the NMEz (pronounced Enemies), and that is a punk band. Not hardcore, not speed/death/black/goth/thrash/glam metal, not funk, no hip-hop cross-overs, nothing but PUNK. I think a Misfits fan would enjoy this band, unless this band was played on a radio station somewhere (sure, that doesn't affect the music, but these are punk fans). Here's a track listing. '82 set with original 5-piece You Do 2 Me The Sir Discount Mental Hospital Drink Like A Fish [Here's the tie-in--->] DENTIST DR. MENGELE Out to Offend '91 song w/ different 5-piece Bashing SuperCans '90 set w/ 3-piece I Don't Want To Go To the West End Egg McMuffy Schitzo A-Go-Go Porch Monkeys This is a kick-ass band! Right now, I'm thinking of releasing some kind of underground compilation with several bands that deserve some exposure, but would probably never try to get it themselves ("commercialism"). If I do, this will be a featured band. Tammy, I hate to get into it over wrestling with you again, but the WWF has no case against WCW using the "Hulk Hogan" name and character. In fact, WCW has been doing so for 2 years or so. You see, that character was created before he resigned with WWF, and WWF always had to pay Marvel Comics royalties for the "Hulk" part (look at the closing copyright information on any WWF show, '86-'93). I know, people, no Misfits content here, except for this: GIVE TOM YER SUPPORT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SELL AN ORGAN GETTING THE "HELL ON EARTH" TRIBUTE CD!!!

I'm not 100% but someone obviously was nice enough to repress it. The line between bootleg and legitimate gets blured when the band and label never have a contract. For instance some of Lost and Founds' records are legit and some are boots. For instance Artificial Peace's 12in on L&F was a legitimate repress of the original Fountain of Youth 7in session and the Dischord session (minus the Flex Your Head material). But then L&F released a CD with Marginal Man (the followup band to AP) and AP material. This is a complete boot. And the legitimacy of the first is questionable to some of the members even. > >> those are usually the most valuable.

Another thing a little easier way to distinguish this is the cover is silk screened, not offset printed (or whatever the hell they use normally). As she said it's all black on the back. You don't have to look for the France shit because there were only 100 pressed of this record. However, a second pressing Out of Step is also pretty valuble. Why? Because it's a different mix than on the Minor Threat discography CD. There's also foreign versions of this (i haven't seen that with other Dischord records). I'd get both if I were you because the different mixes are VASTLY different. > >is The Flex Your Head comp is valuable only when you see a violin on the > >cover. I disagree with that. any cover but the head cover is going to be worthwhile snatching up (actually it's a good record to have in general) Any pressing (violin, wheat, xxx) are worth at least 10$ if it's in good shape.

Same deal with the Victims, they where on other labels four old 7in only goes up to around discord 25 or something. good record but in no way is it a complete catalog. Mail dischord with a buck for a complete catalog of records in press and ask them if thye have any info about their out of press items. as far as dischord 4 1/2, it's a corelease. Same with the first and/or second Minor Threat 7in (I'm positive In My Eyes was pressed by another label). Same with Flex Your Head. Same with the GI records... ad nausium. as far as that guy with all the videos in his post, many of those are in press. do not buy from this guy until he stops conterfiting legitimately availible releases. and i have a misfit sighting.

Mephisto Waltz iz 60 bucks though. I can't remember why, something about how the company doesn't think it will sell so it's a very special order. My singer was down at the local record shop and he told me that they had the misfits bootleg Blood. He listened to it and said it sounded shitty. I went down there today to take a look at it and it was sold. I became suspicious because that's the second bootleg cd they've had in. they've also had the Beware and The Rest boot. SO...I went up to the counter and asked....Turns out they have a bootleg catalog. I order the famous boot that's supposed to be good. SHOCKING RETURN. They also had a Samhain bootleg cd I ordered called BLack Dream. it said studio cuts+live+B.cast so it should be pretty good.

Subject: Hope this solves the problem... Hello fiends... First, Patricia - that is the thing i completely agree with you and CG on. I do not go for that not keeping your word bullshit. you say you are going to do something then do it, no if's and's or but's. As for your faith of human nature, there was a song out in 1988 or 89 and it started out "Everyones an asshole and everyones a creep." I think it says it all in that one line. We all do some asshole or creepy things to others, but at least some of us do what we say we will do. Misfits 101, SST Records... well the this has to be one of my fave labels. There is such a large number of great bands on this label, though the records from this label are not as valuable as the ones from Touch and Go or Discord. First 7" is Black Flags - Nervous Breakdown, this can go up to $40. though there is an easy way to tell the first press from the second. the first press has a black and white sleeve. this goes for a couple of the first press 7"s. Second press was red and white. All of the pieces i have and have sold were found used at local record stores, plus you can find a catalog in some of the lps. this will give you a complete listing of all SST releases, 7"s and 12"s. The LPS are not that valuable at all, and there again pretty easy to find. At one point i had 5 copies of Blasting Concept #1. But even though they are not valuable as other records they do make good trading pieces. Some collectores would love to have a first press Six Pack 7" from Black Flag, though do be ready to have a good trade piece along with it or some cash, when trading for a Misfits record. If you try to get any of these records you should not pay more than $40 tops. There are some Black Flag 7"s that are more rare than the ones on SST. Plus don't buy it if you don't thing you can get rid of it to sell or trade. I learned real quick that some stuff you can end up with for years without ever selling it. Plus the off beat stuff that someone wants in a trade, make sure the trade is going through before getting stuck with records you can't get rid of. next we will go on to Revelation, and Mark, Jordan is the true Mr. Slowass of them all. the only guy with a major hardcore label that takes 3 months to send you your records. Oh, someone did remind me Danzig did play She Rides. I never said that i could remember a set.

Eight people have emailed me and expressed their interrest in buying a "Hell on earth...hail to the Misfits" Swedish tribute CD. I have contacted the record company to do a bulk purchase and yesterday I got a reply. I can buy the CDs for 98 Swedish krona each, approx $14. And then there are postage costs: if I send the CD with its case: airmail postage is $6, and without its case: airmail postage is $3. Surface shipping is $1 cheaper and can take up to two months longer. Total cost $20 or $17. Obviously sending the CD without case is a better deal. One thing though is that the tray, that holds the disc in the case, is made of clear plastic to make artwork visible behind the disc. And if you can't find a case with a clear tray in a shop near you, it may be better shipping with case. I have sent individual emails the eight fiends interrested, and if any more fiends want the CD you can email me and I'll reply with the postal details. I may also consider swapping. If you have anything interresting maybe we can do a trade or part exchange. I'm interrested in records, audios and videos with old school punk rock like: Misfits, Samhain, Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols, Dead Boys, Dictators, Iggy Pop etc. Just send an email. Some months ago I was at the Stockholm Film Festival and saw the movie "Welcome to the Dollhouse". The film not only features an excellent Undead song, it also features some great singing from Daniel Rey (ex-Ramones producer, now Misfits producer) and it's quite a funny little film. My girlfriend thought it was the best film she saw on the Festival. If anybody can help me find a soundtrack CD I'll gladly swap it for a tribute CD or something else. Thomas. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 20:05:55 -0500 From: Crimson Ghost Subject: last couple of times First I'd like to say... As Patricia and I were shopping we were about to buy some Chicken and being the educated consumers that we are we inspected the price/lb. There it was staring us in the face, Purdue Split Breasts $1.38/lb coincidence? you be the judge. someone sed: <...by their fans and that's pretty much it. if you read about punk and look >at all these punk compilations the misfits are hardly ever mentioned. i think >that's probably due to the fact that (once again) they sucked live...but >their albums kicked! forget about punk comps don. Try finding a good (ie: literate) book about punk and then show me a mention of the Misfits. You'll find great stories about bands like the Slits, Subway Sect, etc... but usually the only thing mentioned about the shitfits is that they opened for the Damned. Also remember that all those great albums you mentioned didn't come out until well after the fact. Static Age, the one album that might have gotten them signed, didn't come out proper until last year, the majority of tunes on it being released in what? 1986? on collection I. No The misfits were hardly the first great anything, I guess to some people this day and age they are considered somewhat seminal but I can't see it. mike thompson said: >this is the MISFITS bible right? Not the DANZIG 5 SUCKS AND LETS GOSSIP >ABOUT GLENNS PERSONAL LIFE bible. Just checking. Do we need all the >bullshit? All Apologies to those who actually post things related to the >MISFITS. Actually Mike the name of this list is the Misfits BIble, that's not really specific enough. If you took the time to read the Web page you would see that the bible is, and always has been, about the Misfits and related bands. Related bands most certainly include anything Glenn Danzig chooses to do, not to mention, the undead, times square, Big house and so on and so forth. This is a discussion group, when the Fits were on tour the majority of discussion was about that, Glenn just released an album so the discussion is now about that. >Does anyone agree that the box set should include everything, like every >take and every mix that was made of every recording? The walk among us takes >are not even on it as far as I can tell, A box set that included everything? Fuck wasn't it expensive enough? Personally I'd rather hear 3 good takes of Astrozombies than 15 miserable ones. The WAU stuff doesn't appear on the box for a simple reason, it's owned by Warner Bros! Besides you can go into any record store and buy WAU and it's mixed just fine. THere are alternative take of those songs on the box set, why bother putting WAU 'official' takes on the box. The other albums that appear on there; C1, C2, LOB, EAD & Evilive are remixed or at the least sound better than their original counterparts. Of course there is Static Age which should have been released back in the 70's and then the sessions disc which contain interesting material from the WAU days. I think they chose the perfect stuff to put on the box. I have yet to see *any* band put out an all inclusive boxset. "EditorialStaff@EvilMagazine" commented: (this must be aimed at Trish & I because we were the only ones that posted anything to this effect) >Hell, >First. For all you silly silly people that Feel >Danzig has an affection for the occult.... Before this gets out of hand we should clarify the issue, sometimes we forget that we are on the Misfits' Bible and big words sometimes fall on illiterate ears. Patricia originally said: >> then Brett noted: to CG's observation that he felt Glenns occult >> affectation was just that, an affectation: AFFECTATION *not* affection. Affectation meaning: Artificial Behavior. Sure he likes occult and religious curios, but is it neccessary to continuously sing about it? His subject matter is trite. He's become a novelty. Why does he continue to write these types of songs? Maybe because he thinks he's more evil than fuck or possibly because there is a trend in this country for children to dress like gothic characters of lore. As long as children are into whatever they are into Glenn will be there to sell them whatever they are buying. And that was the theme of my original posting. Brett sed: >I was merely stating the fact that the way he >decorates his house proves that he really does have an interest in the >"occult" or religion or whatever. I never said anything about him actually >believing in anything in particular, nor did I make ANY sort of judgment. >All I meant was to show that CG's idea (that Glenn simply does all this to >get fans) is wrong. He does it because that's waht he likes. Well whatever Brett you will obviously defend this man against all threats foriegn and domestic and I will always maintain that his ways are schtick. If you want to go around defending a man that wears snowshoes on his arms you go right ahead. It is my belief that those snowshoes are retarded and affected. They add nothing, they certainly don't make him sound any better. I just find it amazing that people put more weight on the evilness of his music and props than the actual music itself. Brett you are saying that since Glenn likes the occult and collects shit that his 'act' is real. I guess because Patricia collects little sambos (ie: curios of black people in various states of servitude) she must therefore be a racist, correct? It's one thing to have an interest in something like Glenn does, it's another entirely to present his interest to a very impressionable audience as his personality. They don't let baseball players smoke cigarettes during a game for a reason... On the other hand I do respect someone like King Diamond who makes no qualm about his beliefs, he's a satanist and damn proud of it. Glenn's not a satanist anymore than he's a choirboy, why should he present himself as such. To close this up... As much as I love EVB she's got a sticker on her car window that says "Keep music evil." to this I say, WHY? Does evil music better music make?

What's this??! What's this???! Someone has finally done it... the staff of "Evil Magazine" has brought up Norwegian Black Metal on the Misfits Bible!! YESSS!!! (Joe! Joe Franke, stand up and be counted here! You're with me on this right?) And better still, the guy's from Nova Scotia. I was BORN in the cold arctic wastes of Halifax!! ('Course nowadays San Francisco is a few miles away from there...) Hey, does "Evil Magazine" need any artwork? Watch out, though, cuz I'm a BURZUM fan! -- On another totally unrelated (yet still off-topic) note -- yes, the name "Hulk Hogan" is a trademark of Marvel Comics. I don't think they have much to do with what goes on with Hulk Hogan the wrestler, however. I believe what happened was a legal agreement between Hogan and Marvel, where he let them trademark the name. See, the way trademarks work, they last forever unless you stop protecting them (by pursuing legal action when someone else uses them). So if Marvel didn't say anything to Hulk Hogan about his name, there's some small chance they could be damaging the integrity of their trademark on the Incredible Hulk, who is a Big Strong Guy. Could happen. So Hogan gave let them hold the trademark, probably with the understanding that there was a good possibility Marvel would do some comics or cartoons with the "Hulk Hogan" character. That way, Marvel gets an option on a new property and the trademark stays "in house".

I looked at it and saw that it was the 1996 Detroit Show at St. Andrews hall that I went to. I rewound it and the '83 show was on it too. But, there was no sound. I think That someone bought it from the place i got it (Off The Record - In Royal Oak, Michigan), and copied it and put the 96 show on it too, and then returned it to the store or something like that. Does anyone else have this? Also, If you want a copy of the 96 show (no sound) E-mail me.

It would the the thrill of a deathtime if they actually came here. We never get any good bands around here hell we don't even get pro wrestling. If you need info about pro wrestling of the past, monster and sci-fi movies, and other stuff That is cool get a hold of me. I myself am looking for Misfits stuff because we have very little available here,Old monster movies from the 50s and 60s,Betty Page, Rat Fink,EC comics stuff,Misfit and WhiteZombie homevideos, and most things mondo bizarro a go-go. I do have comment on the religion thing and bands.It should not matter what people in the bands you like believe in if you like the music thats the most important thing not the personal beliefs of the people that make up the bands. This is supposed to be fun not dry and overly philosophical, if the band makes you move go with screw the other crap. I have no intrest in getting a real job and cutting my hair nice, I prefer to listen to the Misfits,Chemical People, and Sick of it All while driving my truck over BMWs. I Heard this quote from some guy in the Clash"Punk rock is saying that life is actually alot of fun and its a hell of alot better than being dead." Someone needs to redo that History Of Rockin Roll thing that came out last year.The Punk section totally skips the hardcore movement The Documentary skips from Elvis Costello to Nirvana with a little bit of X in the middle.All that was said that the Punk scene became violent and the hardcore scene began.The guys in X said they stopped playing violent songs because of hardcore.But there was no mention of the Misfits,Minor Threat,Black Flag or the Dead Kennedys.They just skip the Jerry Onlys and the Ian Macays and that is sad. It just proves that mainstream america is still not ready for the real hard shit and they will continue to buy the crappy cover bands that make themselves famous by murdering old hardcore songs.Oh well future film makers out there make a good Punk documentary for a change and not one that mainstream america wants to see.

I wasn't at the Halloween show so I can't say for sure, but I did see the 'fits the first time they played the Troc last year and it seemed as if the place wasn't quite big enough for the crowd (maybe it was just all the Skins attacking people that annoyed me). Additionally if you judge a show by the pit Action Park should have been more than adequate; does anyone else remember all the people EMS was carting away afterwards?

Culver" Subject: Greetings I just wanted to say hello to the Misfits Bible, I myself, have just subscribed to the bible and hope to pick-up good info and correspondence. I've been a Misfits fan for over ten years and they still haven't been kicked from the top spot in my head. I have never seen the Misfits live and was suprised and a little sceptical when got back together. Tell me how they sound now. I saw Danzig in '88 or '89 (I don't remember) in Va. Beach, VA and it was alright. My wife saw the Undead while I was in the war several years back. My name is George Culver I'm in Va. Beach, VA and if there is anyone else out there from this area mail me or if you know a guy named Chris Taylor from here tell me, I've been looking for him. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Jan 1997 01:08:22 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: Enough of this crap... Hello fiends... let's see first, Brett - just plain and simple with the WCW and the WWF its all based on money, and its funny the WWF pays its non wrestling employees very well!!! David, Glenn is still cool in person, to be honest the situation that i described, the show that just played here in south florida was based on, weather that we have not had in 20 years. to the point that it was not even forcasted correctly and Glenn, the other band members, or the road fools were not ready for dealing with this. He was feeling as rotten as any of his fans out there that night. he was not dressed for 37 - 35 degree weather, he lost his voice or strained it, plus his hair was wet down and then walked out into the cold with no jacket. they ran him to his bus as fast as they could so he could get his leather jacket. I have seen people run to him at other shows when he comes out onto the street, no one ran, we all stood there in small groups trying to keep warm. when i saw him, he signed everything, the only jerk was the road fool who was giving me all sorts of shit about pens, photos. i have met him under more favorable conditions and he will answer all sorts of questions and joke around with you. plus i have to say that the show here in Sunrise was screwed with and i doubt that he knew what was going on, he would have never known about the christian rock the night before, the band was playing Jacksonville. I have sat with him and listed to what was going on with his life as far as records are concern, he gave me my own Misfits 101 in determining a bootleg from the originals, at one show, we hung out with Eerie, and Chuck and made fun of the record sleeves from certain records i had. the best was the bit on how young Chuck looked on the first DOA 12". as for other people, i have always heard from Bile666 that he has had great times with comic con signings with Glenn. Bile i hope you post some of this stuff. Leah, it sounds as if you where at the Misfits show here in Miami, i got crushed three different times, though the first one scared the band and the security more than me. some damn cow lands on me and takes my neck and head into the barricade. Michale made a plea to get these people to stop surfing the crowd and that lasted until either Jerry or Michale jumped into the crowd. All, the question was asked about Necros and if anyone had vinyl of theirs, i have that one 7" and that is the value of it if you look anywhere for it. I have based the price accordingly. as for the Sex Drive 7" boot, i have never heard of any member of the Necros bootlegging their own vinyl. and who are you to say which bootleg, there are tons of bootlegs of that on 7", different color sleeves, color vinyls all sorts of shit. which is back to Mark's responce about the value of Misfits bootlegs, they are worth nothing. the prices on bootlegs are what they are, only cause record stores know that there will always be fools who buy them. i can name at least 5 known Misfits bootlegs that sound like shit and fiends still buy them. what is even more amusing is they retitle them and stick them on a CD and the price is hiked up even more. you are way off on the fine line of boots and originals, Misfits had their own label and that never stopped anyone from bootlegging the records, some even go as far as reproducing a 7" to look identical to the real one, and for the sole purpose to screw some unsuspecting collector. there are represses that are legit, but that is not a bootleg. Labels like Triple X, and CD Presents are known for represses. Trip X did bands like Social Distortion, Adolescents. where CD did bands like DOA and Avengers. Plus there are labels that are known to repress their own stock, SST and Touch and Go has done that for years. Though T&G has never and will not do the first 5 or 10 as represses. Maybe the collecting thing is not for you, but i know enough people who would be happy to get a first press copy of In My Eyes or the first EP. As for Beware, there is no comparison to having the original. shit when i first got mine i was even offered a Cough/Cool in trade. You are wrong on the Out of Step 12", there is a rare pressing that had a silkscreened sleeve, but the run of the mill first press has a sold black back sleeve. You don't see this the same way as a collector see it, there are known bits that we all go by, you get a shot at a Flex Your Head comp, it has the be the Violin cover($60+), you have a choice between sleeves on a IQ32 7" its the skatepark sleeve, you got to get a Adrenalin OD - Let's Barbaque 7" it has to be red and white the blue and white is second press. this shit is drilled into your head, and there are no screw ups in a trade or a sale. plus anyone knows that the 7"s in punk and hardcore are worth more than the LPs/12"s. there are always exceptions, but that is what you see dealing with it day to day. plus it depends on the band too. i never said that the four old 7"s on a 12" had a complete catalog and even if it did, first 6 listed are the most valuable. This is about what we have been discussing in Misfits 101, and i need to make this clear, *I am not telling anyone to go jump into this buying records and hoping you get to trade or sell them.* I am giving you fiends info on my own way of collecting. This did work for me, i don't know if this will work for you. You have to be able to deal with people, write a lot of snail mail, and know how to bargan. Keeping on top of the value of other bands and using these records that are not for your personal collection may sound like a bad thing to do or wrong but it does work and it is done everyday. I know lots of traders who could give two shits about the Misfits, but know that the records are their ticket to the first 7"s from the Necros, Fix, Germs, Fear and other bands who have records that are up there in price like the Misfits. If you only knew how much of the american punk and hardcore records have left this country to collectors in Europe and Japan, you would be shocked. they love our stuff, and i have lost out many times in auctions or straight sales to people in these countries. Next time we will get back to the regular Misfits 101, which the detailing of the 7"s and the LPS will be on Misfits Central real soon. hope you all have a great weekend, don't freeze your asses off, and till Monday. Later to all the fiendies!?! tes777(TAMMY) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Jan 1997 13:03:30 -0600 (CST) From: xkevinx Subject: violent world contest hey anyone wanna trade answers for the VW contest...i got most of them but need a hand with a few. take care, kevin. _____________________________________________________________________________ to this I am forever true.

Can't wait to hear the dance LP. Maybe they'll have a remix single like zig. Then they'd REALLY be like Glenn. First, Earth AD/Blackacidevil released near each other, now this. Sheesh. XDX. Whatever you say. You can't stop liking a band because of their beliefs. Which brings about something always been a big question of mine....a few years ago a band named Milli Vanilli put out a CD that wasn't the two guys on the cover singing. When this came out, people wanted their money back. WHY? It's the same CD, the same songs, it's just not who you thought it was singing. Isn't that logical? Of course that's what pop music is all about, I guess. I was watching Superock the other day and I believe Glenn said he had 2 older brothers. This was a topic a few Bibles ago, but I just saw this again. DJohn among other tape searchers: I have a very large list located at Misfits Central in the news section under "Misfits Live Audio Tapes Available". The cost is $5 per tape or trade. As far as people advertising, there's nothing wrong with it, BUT don't post a 3 page list of shit with huge spacing in between items, you know? Maybe I'm imagining things, but I could've sworn I remember hearing about the Misfits being on an AC/DC tribute. Is this right?

When I saw the Misfits at the end was a porno show starring G.G Allin and Glenn Danzig (actually that's not true,but if it was who do you think would fuck who???). This is a really important question that I would like answered. I think Glenn would fuck the snotass right off G.G. cause Glenn is more demonic than fuck, and G.G. is just some naked dude with a hairy arse!! However, if Dee Snyder showed up he would beat the bajesus outta the 2 of em for being homos and then just to add insult to injury he would skullfuck their corpses. Hey!!! That could be a new Misfits song; We sold out, we sold out But Dee will skullfuck Glenn and G.G. We suck shit, we suck shit, While we wank our little pee-pee's Shiteat now whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh!!! Actually, that's probably too hard for the new Fits to remember, considering the only songs they can get right are the ones they've been playing for almost 20 years. Glenn is the Misfits, but Dee is king!!!

First if anyone has a bottleg called "Fiend Club" It has two records, two sides of misfits and two sides of samhain. The reason I am looking for this is because the first samhain is a live show in my wonderful hometown of Newport, KY. Secondly, I thought I once saw a Misfits Bible shirt (I think on Misfits Central). It had the Crimson Ghost from the back of Collection One but his book said Misfits Bible. I would really love to get this shirt, so if anyone knows where I could pick one up at I would be most thankful. Lastly, I got two bootlegs from the record store today. I know bootlegs are worthless but I am wondering if I got a good deal. I got the Misfits Cough/Cool-She (Clear Vinyl Dungeon Records) and the other was a bootleg called 4 Hits from Hell. I paid $10 to get both. Any Help would be appreciated.

Let me just say now that glenn was amazing the show was great and the band was great. To anyone who has any doubts of seeing glenn now after he did D5 and john and eerie are gone, do not worry. Tommy and lazie do a magnifigant job! The crowd was rough and full of ass holes which is normal for a show down here, and the stage at ziggy's was about half the size of when the misfits played there last april, for those of you curious just go to the pics page and check it out under 4/30/96. There was a baricade but no room between the stage and the crowd, so the securty had to kneel down by the pa system. You could tell that glenn was annoyed about how small the stage was at first when people would get thrown at him on stage. I saw one time a guy came down right on top of him and glenn threw a good shove his way. Let me just say Glenn has lost no size on his build and surprisingly I didnt think he looked that short. But I give the man all the credit in the world cuz he did a great show in a place that was just choas. he would run up to the crowd and sing along, he just worked the crowd and performed better then anyone I have seen. and he didnt take no shit either I mean there was one guy who was constanly starting shit and being an asshole and glenn went after the guy he spit in his face and then after the song told the "If you dont like the show theres the door, you fucking ass hole" The one thing that will always be with danzig is that they will always have glenn and no one can compare to him, I mean I love seeing the fits and I love them but they are not really the misfits without glenn. As much as I hate to say that I guese maybe I had forgot that cuz i hadnt seen glenn in a while. Tommy Victor was great he played all the songs perfectly and there were allot of people there I guese prong fans that were there to support him. Both he and lazie would sing along with all the songs, lazie handling most of the backing vocals, and the crowd handling allot of them as well. My high light of the show was when glenn was giving me the mic to sing along with the 2nd chorus for long way back from hell, we kind did a trade of off in the lines, then during the 3rd verse of the song when he repeats the 1st verse he wrapped his arm around me and we sang it together! It felt good to see a man who doesnt smile allot sing right with you and smile at you the whole time. that was a great thing about the show was that all the members were having a blast, tommy and lazie were smiling and working the crowd. I hate to say this as well but probably they did a better job working the crowd then eerie and john did when I saw them 2 year ago. the one sad thing about the show was they played a short set, i looked at the set list and they left off about 4 songs. Glenn and the guys seem to play to the females allot during the course of the show, which kinda sux I think cuz you sing along and get into the show and sort feel like they should play up to you cuz your are into the music, dontcha think? The place was packed as ziggys maybe can hold 300-400 people, and there were some pretty girls dancing along to she rides. so now on to the set list Ill try to do my best here from memory: mother sacrifice( which he added like ten extra verse to the chorus) her balck wings dirty black summer left hand black how the gods kill twist of cain hint of her blood hand of doom she rides see al you were long way back from hell until you call on the dark 7th house what a great show! for any of you who think glenn has lost it and is nothing with his new band , you are missing out cuz the man can sing his ass off, and even though he was in a club about the size of a shoe box he played his ass off! So if you are thinking of skipping this tour cuz you hate blackacidevil you are gonna miss out on a great show ! So do your self a favor and see this band! The only thing that pissed me off was that after the show when i went back to see glenn, he wasnt even there and he had a body guard out there who said " everyone waiting for glenn form a line back there" That sucked I thought I mean when I do that stuff I dont wanna feel like a tool just waiting to get him to sign stuff, i wanna hang out and chat a little. So I thought to myself well I have never met theman maybe Ill wait then after about 10 minutes he still wasnt there and I left thinking this is fucked up i am not doing this, t6his is wrong. I left and said : "the misfits dont do that they come hang out, this sucks!, bobby steele say hello" as for the opening bands I really liked powerman 5000 I thought they were fun to see, I wish they went 2nd and went longer. As for electric hellfire club, they may be the worst band on the face of the planet, the were all decked out in crazy evil pentagrams, the singer even sporting the motley crue bandanna(circa shout at the devil), and with some ugly bitch dancing on stage. It ws nice to see some 7 ft 300 lb football player from wake forrest reach over and knock the drumners drum machine over and steel hius sticks, and bassically scare the fuck out of them soo they got the hell off stage. lastly thanx for all the interest in the b-movie tape, let me just add for the 9000000000 time, even it seems obvious that this is an audio tape NOT a video! later D-Rod ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Jan 1997 03:23:18 -0500 From: dan sylvester Subject: Misfits Deeeeetroit show Yes, I am very intersested in the Misfits Detroit show.

I heard it from the guy who runs Village Comics, where Glenn was supposed to do a signing the same day before the show. The weird thing is the signing has been moved to Thursday. Why would the show be cancelled and the signing just pushed over a day? If anyone knows anything more about this, please e-mail me as soon as you can.

I'd never heard of the place before. Turns out it's a hole in the wall (actually the ceiling) of an Ethiopian restuarant. Per usual, they rocked. Tight, tight tight. Jake keeps threatning to release a CD, but that could mean an end to civilazation and peace on Earth. The headliner Polyplush Cats were amazing as well. This was only the 2nd time I'd seen them, but the songs were totally familiar. They did have a few equipment problems, but that didn't stop them or even slow them down. Of course the evening was totally made by seeing Polyplush with Jake Starr on vocals doing Guns & Roses 'My Michelle'. Jake did an AWSOME impersonation on Axl Rose. He did the mic stand thing, the hip shaking, the backwards baseball hat (thanx to yers truely), the whole deal. Oh, never miss an Adam West show EVER! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Jan 1997 15:31:06 -0500 (EST) From: Stephen Gorny Subject: Box sets & Braineaters I for one, thought the only downside to the box set was too many versions of stuff that eventually ended up on WAU. There are a lot of other demos that they could have put on there - or some of the live stuff that must have been recorded at some point by the band (like the entire show that was used as the source tape for Evilive - that would have been cool). CG - I am not sure what you mean about "complete" box sets, but if you mean every official album ever released - the Police box set contained everythin - singles, b-sides, albums, etc that they ever released - pretty complete. Braineaters - I also had heard that they won't play it - but they did play it at the October 30 show in Baltimore last year - as well as Monster Mash (I wish I had taped that show). Jake - let us know about these shows further in advance!! =============================================================================== Stephen Gorny [] In California, the people voted to do away Department of Psychology [] with racial preferences in hiring and University of MD Baltimore County[] school admissions and to legalize the use 5401 Wilkens Avenue [] of marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Anyways, I'm sure it will be too late to get an interview on the show day, but I'm hoping to get at least a phone interview. Anyways, considering they called me at the last minute to begin with, I may have already done this by the time you all read this but, I wanna know - does anybody have any burning questions to ask Glenn (and not about the Misfits either, I have no interest in discussing that issue with him).

But that surely won't surprise you, CG. > I just find it amazing that people put more weight on the evilness of his > music and props than the actual music itself. uhh, no, I think the guitar riffs and all that sound evil, as well as the lyrics. I could name dozens of songs, but listen to the riffs especially of "Possession", "Long Way back from Hell", and "Pain in the World" (ok CG, there's your cue to mention that he ripped that riff off Led Zep's "Dazed and Confused") > a satanist and damn proud of it. Glenn's not a satanist anymore than he's a > choirboy, why should he present himself as such. he doesn't. In fact, he denies it constantly. Based on what I've heard him say, I don't think he necessarily equates whatever he considers "evil" with the Christian/Jewish "Satan." When interviewers mention something about his songs being about Satan or Satanism, he says they aren't about that at all. For example, (talking about Lucifuge) one guy said "why did you name your album after the devil?" (or something) and Glenn then told him the real (latin) meaning of "lucifuge" and claimed that none of the songs on the album were about the devil, except "Pain in the World"; and he said even that was only partially about with Satan. oh yes, as for your comment about Patricia's pictures or whatever, no that doesn't make her a racist. It's just soemthing she likes. By the same token, when I wear a NY Rangers jersey, I am not claiming to be a player on the team. When Glenn wears an inverted cross, he isn't claiming to be a Satanist -- and as for it being a marketing ploy, surely there are better ways to market himself than what he's being doing for the last 20 years. But he hasn't chaged his ways (ie:evil image) because that's the image and the stuff that he likes - regardless of how many "little kids" buy whatever he tries to sell them. Whatever CG. I know I won't convince you, and I'm sure you would say the same of me. > From: Neil McAllister {> On another totally unrelated (yet still off-topic) note -- yes, the name > "Hulk Hogan" is a trademark of Marvel Comics. I don't think they have much okay, since so much stuff is off-topic lately, I will do you a favour, Mark. The easiest solution is to just "kill the patient."

Marvel had the name trademarked since 1962, long before Terry Boulan (if I remember the Hulksters name correctly) started using it around 1981 or '82. And the trademark couldn't have expired, because Marvel would have to renew it to keep publishing The Incredible Hulk.

Subject: Sick to shit of the sugar... Hello fiends... first thing is to all you fiends that wanted to access the Misfits 101 detailings of the 7"s and the LPs, you can find it all in the News section of Misfits Central, under *Tammy Shapiro's Collecting Guide*. Next - I have to say that this was one of the more interesting issues of the bible, especially the bit about the snowshoes. the photo in question is a great black and white, but the snowshoes are a bit much. Jim don't you mean schmendrick, for even agreeing to pose for a photo with snowshoes strapped to his arms. ha ha ha ;) plus, Brett don't go ballistic about the comment, i like Glenn just as i have always. i just at this point in my life refuse to sugar coat the truth about any band member or show. Steve - what the hell are you talking about? i hate to inform you but Jews have been persecuted for thousands of years now. as for Slayer i have no idea where or how you came up with this. D.ETH - i wish i knew what the name of the othe CG serial was. i saw it in the TV guide for the Sci-fi channel and it was talking about a crystal skull. the person who was suposed to tape it for me did not( at that point TCI did not have the SCI-FI channel). if i find a guide that talks about it i will let you know. So far most of my books either don't talk about CG or just list the first serial. Lately a lot of people are bitching about stuff being sold through the bible. i hate to break this to you guys, but your other choice will cost you quite a bit to do. Collecting is not always easy in anything you collect, but the Misfits Samhain and Danzig. take out all your quarters for the phone and for stamps. this is a pleasure to have people right in your face with stuff to get. i spent tons of time writing, and calling people, record stores all over the country and the world. and if anyone came to me offering it was only after i paid my $3 for the ad i would take out in Maximum Rock and Roll. most people who had known me or traded and bought from me knew of my Misfits collecting. here you guys have it made, right now Keven Finn has some of the best and rarest Misfits and Samhain vinyl up for bid, there are videos by the tons being offered up. and for any fiend on this bible, if you have not see original footage of the Misfits you are missing out. so get off the bitching bandwagon, this is just one more part of the Misfits. Misfits 101, where do we go from here... well you know of what i have done to get my stuff. and as i have said before you have to start trying out the trading thing. the magazines are there, Maximum R&R, Flipside, tons of Fazines with ads. plus here on the bible, over 1000 fiends read this. from the ones i have talked to, a lot of them like other bands than the Misfits too or might have extras. i knew several collectors who had 4 -5 extra copies of a 7" original. in short and i will make this short before i crash into my keyboard. if you want it badly enough it is out there, i can say in truth that i have not paid full price for any piece in my collection and it was not luck with me. it was knowing how not to get screwed or succumb to what the price was said to be. i will talk about other labels next time around and give some info on other items. till then...

My local Blockbuster video (and just about everybody else's local video store around here) has them. Better still, KTEH Channel 54 out of San Jose CA has been airing two episodes of Robotech every Sunday at 10pm. And you know what? The show just ain't that good anymore. The repetetive music is especially annoying. Captain Harlock is way better. And if you become enough of a fan, then they'll let you buy the shirt so you can look cool like Glenn. How was New Jersey? cooper15@hsonline.net: There's always the off chance that you could get a really good deal on a Misfits record. But "Beware" for $7.99? REAL unlikely. You didn't give enough info. For instance, is it a 7"? If so, it's a bootleg. Was the cover a slightly distorted picture of the band in mostly-black? If not, it's a bootleg. One cover I see on bootlegs is a picture of Glenn, Jerry, and Doyle in front of their amps (Doyle didn't play on that record). What does the label on the record say? The Misfits may have been cheap, but not cheap enough to have blank labels on their records. Etc. Shawn Michaels: (re: Hulk Hogan) >no, I doubt it. Marvel had the name trademarked since 1962, long before >Terry Boulan (if I remember the Hulksters name correctly) started using >it around 1981 or '82. And the trademark couldn't have expired, because >Marvel would have to renew it to keep publishing The Incredible Hulk. >Every year all magazines have to print a statement of ownership for the >post-office... Huh?? You must be confused, cuz you're sure as hell confusing me. "Hulk Hogan" and "The Incredible Hulk" are two different trademarks. Marvel had "Hulk" trademarked in 1962... they got the "Hulk Hogan" trademark in maybe '83 or something. The statement of ownership on a magazine has nothing to do with a tradmark, they need to put that in there to qualify for cheap bulk postage rates on subscriptions. Trademarks don't expire. They can "disappear" though if you don't protect them. Jell-O won't let you call your fruit-flavored gelatine dessert "Jell-O", for instance. If they let people do it, then "jell-o" would cease to be a trademark. You may not realize that "aspirin" used to be a trademark, but whoever owned it (Bayer?) lost it, because other people that made the same medicine called theirs "aspirin" too. Marvel was afraid that by putting "Hulk" in his name, Hulk Hogan could damage the integrity of the Incredible Hulk trademark, so they came to an agreement where Marvel owns the trademark to Hulk Hogan's name. Easy. And if anybody still insists that the Misfits have nothing to do with pro wrestling, I urge you to go to a Misfits show and take a look at their bassist and guitarist.

I forgot your name though. And to the other guy in the Misfits shirt who sucker punched me, don't worry I got a REAL good look at you, and I never forget a face. Fiend867--are you from IL? Both of those 7"ers are at RecordBreakers in Hoffman Estates for $10 a pop. As far as the prices, they aren't bad. I think I paid $14 for the same C/C and $12 for 4 Hits From Hell. Cooper15, where have you been? Didn't tes777 do a boot thing? Check the page. I can tell you right now that the odds are the C/C is a boot. There's no legit "Return of the Fly" thing.

I wore my misfits shirt. The old one with the skull but no logo, and I pshed my way through to the front and while I was there the rhythm guitarist from goldfinger saw my shirt and was like wow a misfit. so anyway after they finished the song that they had just played I yelled to him to play some fit's and he was like yoeah whatever and he proceeded to play some other song but then after that was ove he was talking to the other people in goldfinger and he came back over to where I was and pulled me up on stage and gave me a mike and he said 20 eyes. I looked at him and just nodded and the band started into 20 eyes.. it ruled Igot to sing and stuff and it was cool then after they finished the song the lead guitarist said "That one was for this kid, he know's what's up, he's got the shirt." then I dove off stage.

The time is 4-6:30pm and they will also raffle off a pair of tickets to the show, including backstage passes for $1 a piece and proceeds go to the ACLU. The raffle goes on up until the 7th. As a side note, here are the official "rules" of the signing. I'll keep from commenting as I'm sure others will: "Glenn is willing to sign Danzig and\or Verotik merchandise AS LONG AS you make a Verotik purchase from the Ogre at the time of the signing.

Subject: To much distraction... Hello fiends... first thing, Bile was right about the NYC/Roseland show being cancelled on the Danzig tour. i checked out Ticketmasters page and that is what they have posted. no reasons. John - yes this is the movie. and its not a bad one for its time. there were a lot of devil and witch based movies in the 70's. several that were really bad movies. though sometimes i'm not the one to take the opinion from since i like the movie "Horror at Party Beach." how many movies have monsters with hotdogs hanging out of their mouths ;). Fiend - yes there will be a Misfits Bible T-shirt, and is on its way to being pressed soon. you need to place your order with Dave Naked, he's the one taking the orders the last i heard. the art was not taken from any of the records. the front of the shirt was designed by Greg Petre(bible member) and the back was designed by me. as for the bootlegs i do agree with Mark that they are worthless, but in any case you did get a good deal. sean - the best person from the bible to talk bootleg collecting is Paul Holstein. its funy, Paul. what made me think of this was i just found photos in a box, of your collection, your stereo system, and one of the members of the Exploited signing a record for you. To the guy with the Beware, go to Misfits Central, the news section, you will see listed my name and Collection Guide, in there is detailing of all the original 7"s Beware and the lps. that should answer your questions. by the way the return of the fly is a bootleg. D-Rod - i loved your post. and it did turn out that we (the teens and I) waited an hour for Glenn to come out, the rest of the band never did. my watch was not working right, probably froze from the cold. though Glenn heard me loud and clear when i said "Bobby Steele said hello." Misfits 101... Recent shit. well it seems the prices on original Misfits records are still holding their own. That is obvious from the prices i saw with the auction that Kevin is holding. though a little more real was a small report in Goldmine. the most recent sale of the Cough/Cool was $425. and a Beware was $325. though i'm not surprised. the demand has held strong for a long time now. it seems harder to find anything lately. though i can tell you collecting this stuff is not something that happens over night. I'm still collecting, though i am searching for the rarer items at this point. but don't get discouraged. it makes it that much more interesting to run after these records. well i'm making this short and sweet. i have a little something distracing my thoughts here. next time little more on collecting. later to all the fiendies!?! tes777(TAMMY) ------------------------------------- To contribute to the next issue, please send email to: misfits@virginia.edu mailto:misfits@virginia.edu (Netscape Mail) For more information, contact Mark Kennedy at: msk4m@watt.seas.virginia.edu For answers to most questions, please visit Misfits Central before posting: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/ The Misfits mailing address is: Misfits Fiend Club | P.O.

Haskin" Subject: howdy howdy For people wondering about why the Danzig show at the Roseland wasn't just postponed (rather than being cancelled), it's prolly cause Danzig needs to get on the road after the concert or that someone else is playing at there the next night. I'm not sure, but it makes sense to me... Also, I got the Sacrifice single the other day, and I like it. Whoever did those remixes for the single should have done the actual album, cause they sound a helluva lot better... And BTW, you can't mount an M203 grenade launcher on an M-60.

I did get my interview with him last night, sat down and talked to him for about 20 minutes or so about his new album, his comic books, Propehcy 2 and some other shit. I will get it transcribed as soon as I can and then either give it to Mark to put on the site or post it here or whatever. Thanks for your help with the questions. A few things off the top of my head: The Samhain box set is basically put together and all ready to go, as soon as he gets a contract worked out for it. There will be a follow-up to Black Aria out in the near future There will be an EP out later in the year (he did not, however, write a song with Rob Zombie) He wants to put out a new home video - he says that AMerican promised him one per album and then reniged, which was part of his problem with them. He is not sure when he can release his old videos tho (sounds like legal problems with American). He also has 2 live shows which were shot over the past couple of years and may release a live video. The next video will be Serpentia and he will not be directing it. Basically, he was quite polite to us - when we were done he posed for pics, signed stuff (including my Walk Among Us CD, which already had Doyle's sig on it) and gave me some comic books. Oh yeah - the show was great too. Only about 80 minutes tho - and VERY loud, I can't remember the last time my ears were ringing the day after a show. =============================================================================== Stephen Gorny [] In California, the people voted to do away Department of Psychology [] with racial preferences in hiring and University of MD Baltimore County[] school admissions and to legalize the use 5401 Wilkens Avenue [] of marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Of course the band had unreleased songs. "Return Of The Fly" was recorded in 1978 and wasn't released until 1995, long after they broke up. There are still alternate versions of songs that never made it out, and there were plenty of songs the band performed live and then forgot about. > usually bands have songs written that havent been played or released. it is > hard to beleive that glenn didnt have songs in the working that he didnt use > for samhain. In fact, a few of the songs on INITIUM, including "Archangel" were written during the Misfits days, but didn't make it out as Misfits songs. Then there's always the never ending saga of "Mephisto Waltz," originally rehearsed a few times by The Misfits in '82, and then recorded after the band broke up. > everything it has+ > > earth AD demos Seriously, the Earth AD demos are very over-rated.
