Yes! Nobody has ever sent me a track listing or any sort of info to use on the page. I've been trying to track the thing down since I first heard of it on this very mailing list almost 2 years ago.

Actually it's pretty ignorant. If you blame 'welfare' for our economic problems, you are a brainwashed slave. If government did away with the Welfare program tommorow, the budget would still be WAY out of balance. Stop blaming the poor! Like I said, I'm all for keeping politics out of the Bible. But that means keeping your smart-ass 'holier-than-thou' statements to yourself. How dare you accuse people of being ignorant, while you spew erronious drivel. -Tarry ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Apr 1996 17:08:56 -0400 From: Phuck This is probably Waaay late, but fuck it... 1: Real Name: Vince Nestico 2. DOB: 4--72 3: How I got into the Misfits: Punker friend of mine in Jr. High always had on a Samhain shirt, and I asked him 'What the fuck he always wore the same shirt for, so he handed me a dubbed tape of some Misfits/Samhain and I listened to it over and over until I finally bought my own shit. then, a year later Danzig released his first album, So when we were out getting stoned during lunch, We would all be singin' MUTHA! 4. I work for an automotive seat recliner manufacturer, building stuff that will probably never end up in a car. 5. Other Bands I like: Zombie, Rollins/Flag Type O, Dread Zeppelin, Pantera, Death Puppet, King Louie and the 7 twans-1, PLA, Rubber, Elastic, Underwear (I just made those up) 5 other interests: Internet surfin', Phreakin', Building PC's, Curvy Chicks 6 Last good book: How to make a 7-11 employee's life a living hell by RedBoxChiliPepper. 7. Favorite Joke to play on assholes at work - Pour a quart of oil and a bunch of anti-freeze under their car, and tell them not to drive it or you might as well kiss your engine goodbye. If you like, you can refer them to a mechanic friend. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Blood Like a crimson highway Spreading out ------------------------------ From: his! -Glenn Danzig 1987 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ From: UJCCURRY@msuvx1.memphis.edu Date: Fri, 26 Apr 1996 17:10:32 -0600 (CST) Subject: boiled angel I will try to make this short. A guy in Florida was busted on an obsenity charge for producing/distrbuting a zine called Boiled Angel. It was mostly crude drawings of stuff like priests screwing altarboys etc. Anyway i think he got three years probation, 3000$ fine, and was told by the judge he could not do any more obscene drawings, even in the privacy of his own bedroom. Look up Boiled angel on the world wide web for more info. I mention this because 1.I think it totally rapes the idea of free speech and pisses me off to no end, and 2. the original name of Boiled angel was Angelfuck. jamil ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Apr 1996 21:32:19 -0400 From: She Subject: Fiend Club Mailing Hey Fiends - Just thought I'd let you know that another Fiend Club mailing went out this week. About 1200 Fiends on the east coast will be receiving a copy of the flyer for the show in their area, just in case the news hasn't gotten around. Also, tour poster packages went out to those of you who offered to put up posters for the upcoming shows. Because a lot of people volunteered to help at some of the shows, it's quite possible that some of you won't be receiving any (less work for you, I guess). A lot of you were added to the guest list for your shows as a sort of 'thanks' for your help. m ------------------------------ From: NJV aka Misfitt Date: Fri, 26 Apr 1996 23:28:00 +0000 Subject: Not fits related, but "punk" Scum****, and others, I saw in a couple of "bios", that there are some of the fiends are also Hanoi Rocks fans--(makes sense--HR was a band before its time, like the misfits, and have been copied by HM as well as punk bands). I have a lot of HR stuff--video, import vinyl, and original releases (not the Slash re-releases), and Michael Monroe's first solo album (japanese release). I also saw the last HR show at peabody's down under before Razzle died--I apologize to those fiends who could care less about HR, but if any of you have any HR stuff or stories--E-Mail me--HR fans are few and far between!!!

My hometown is a suburb of chicago. I will miss being able to reAD THE BIBLE every other day but guesss that gives me a reason to come back next year. For my last three posts I want to say some of the things that I have been hesitant to say before because I did not want to start a flame war, but now I just dont give a fuck. SCUMFUCK: ( whatever the fuck your real name is ) - You are a goddamn pantywaste. Your constant bitching about people posting things not relevent to the misfits really gets old. Don't you know that you are only making the perfect breeding ground for mor flames? Your completely ignorant remarks regarding the Phantom of the opera ( you said that it was play and never a movie and that there was never a Lon Chaney) really got my goat. Check your facts before opening your stinking hole you moron. WES THOMAS: I must admit that your comments can be amusing at times but I still do not undrestand your motives, especially for threatening my life when ever the mood strikes you. You need to either grow up or start taking lithium or ridilin because you might just have some ]serious problems. Patricia - you are definitly a great asset to the bible. It is cool to hear your stories and learn more about the misfits from you. You also have a awesome sense of humor. I look forwarrd to talking more on email next year. Mark Kennedy - You have helped to make this first year at college alot easier. It's always fun to check out the web page whenever I need a study break. That's especially cool because it is info. on the misfits is usually so hard to come by. Thanks for setting all this shit up! Crimson Ghost - well, even after all my bitching you still sent me the pick. Thanks! I hope that you someday post as much as you used to. Until then good luck with your new list. Teevie- ( What the fuck kind of nickname is that?) - You are a dickcheese for breaking into wes thomas's email account like that. Are you aware that doing things like that are highly illegal? Quit being such such a dork and talking about what bootlegs you have and this and that. Nobody fucking cares! The whole idea of the fits is just to love the music no matter where you hear it from. I really don't give a shit if you have the first pressing of horror business or a condom that glenn used or whatever, get a fucking life you jackoff!!! Last of all I want to apologize for all the typos that all my posts have. I just can't type worth a damn.

In this issue, Jerry is asked, "I know that Henry Rollins was a huge Misfits fan, have you heard from him since you got the band back together?" Read Jerry's response on Marks page under articles... What his response comes down to is that Robo [ex black flag drummer] needed money. Jerry threatened Greg Ginn, former Black Flag guitarist, also telling him to pay Robo. That approach didn't work. He also asked for Henry's help. Henry told him to tell Robo to get a lawyer, but Jerry didn't like that response. Due to all of this, Jerry says, "Thanks for the fucking brainstorm, Henry! He's a fucking hypocrite. Fuck him. I don't want a friend like that. Henry's not welcome in my camp. If he's got a problem, let him bring it to me." That is a fucked up response by Jerry. This sounds very familier to Bobby's ordeal with Jerry concerning royalties. Who is the hypocrite? I can say from personal experience that Henry is one hell of a person. He was kind enough to help my brother out with some problems after one of his shows here. Henry is an incredible person with a hell of a brain. Hey Jerry, I remember a phrase I was told about glass houses and throwing stones. Think about it. michael ------------http://holly.colostate.edu/~misfit/-------------------------- "You're up to your neck where will I find you next I don't know why I try I know you will soon die" -Awake X X XX X X XX X XXX XX XX XXX X XX XXX XXX XXX XXX XX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XX XXXXXX XX XXXXXXX X XXXX XX XX XXXX X XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX X X X XXXXX XX X X X X X XXX X X X X X X ------------------------------ From: Jerryonly3@aol.com Date: Sun, 28 Apr 1996 10:53:13 -0400 Subject: MiSFiTS posters Does anyone know where I can get ANY MiSFiTS Posters I will pay for them.

But it HAS been achieved - virtually all foraging groups (hunter-gatherers) have no formal leaders and all food is distributed to everyone - in fact, the hunter who brings home the meat gets the least of it. They acknowledge nobody as their leader; some people may have some authority based on age, but they can only make suggestions, never compel anybody to do anything. It was only after the rise of agriculture that discrepancies of wealth, hereditary inheritance, and political power came about. Unfortunately virtually all foraging groups are extinct - not because their system doesn't work (foragers generally eat much more nutritious diets than agriculturalists) but because of contact with modern cultures. I realize this is irrelevant but here I am studying for my anthropology exam and you were talking about what I was reading. -aon-1 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Apr 1996 21:44:46 -0400 (EDT) From: Quicklime Girl Subject: its in my blood to always.... hey fiends, well well, wes! i have a question! you say we have gone to far? where exactly is Far? is that the lap dance emporium at No Balls State?

To the fiends - well i hope you guys liked the get to know you issue, so far i've got some possitive responces from some of you. I think it went well but what happened to everyone, there are over 700 people suscribed to this bible and i think about 80 replied!?! The next time you guys better get your butts in gear. Oh this is out to Danial King - in the last bible issue you weren't happy with the special issue cause it made the issue to big, well to bad. I'm sorry if you had problems with it but the point was for all of us to get to know one another. And i didn't do this in the middle of my final weeks of school, trying to finish a 12 piece portfolio, a book binding, typesetting a catalog, animation for the schools web page, writing the code for my own part of the page, plus everything else that happened during the coarse of the week. If anyone else has a real problem with the issue ie missing info or stuff like that contact me or Mark. But i don't want to hear about crap like the bible was to big. Please think about what you're saying next time. Later fiend, from the kind of social director for the Bible, maybe this should be a crusie ship!?!

About your comments about Jerry. I think I finally get it. I think before I was a little too blinded by hero worship, while I still think he's a cool guy, I can finally understand your point. If I knew someone, had an argument going with them, and wasn't allowed to even settle it out with them, I'd be pretty peeved. I've been known to say shit I didn't really mean, but sounded damn good at the time, when in arguments with friends over comparitively petty shit. Somehow I see you checking out Tokyo. Tokyo is where the punk scene is, where you can get all those cool imports (well, I guess they're exports), it's got a shitload of people, and it sounds real cool. The first time I'll be able to check out 'mainland' Japan is in 12 days. I'll be stopping in Osaka, another big city on the main island of Honshu. I live in Okinawa, a really small island. It's got its own feel. We lost our decent music scene, which was mainly our friends, who left once they got enough money to go to Tokyo. Just one thing about Okinawa, it's got more folk songs than any other Japanese island, it's also one of the smallest islands. Oh, by the way, I can read Jap-English (that funky weird looking English) and Japanese (but I speak it a lot better). I've noticed that they view us as the "cool" people. They're a little too into the whole James Dean, Coca Cola, red whit and blue thing. A lot of people in mainland want to be america, some try to be punk, and some reject American shit all together. In Okinawa, it was a lot of hip-hop wannabes who try to fit in with idiot GIs and then there were some who thought for themselves. I still see those people as having a lot more energy, a lot more life than a lot of people here, wasn't it Plato who decried the evils of critics and those who find fault with everything? I guess it's a double edged sword, but then again you can cry about how bad it is, or you can point out places where you hope for change... Mirachi (is that right?): I have one basic argument with what you said. I agree with most of it, but you can not say that they are "no where near glenn lyrically". I see the the new breed as writing more of a story-telling, sci-fi genre of lyrics. The old lyrics had a lot of gore, aggression, and catchy choruses. I think the new stuff paints a picture, not dissimilar to L. Ron Hubbard, classic sci-fi, and X-files. Maybe they've gone from writing about zombies to writing about Invaders from Mars... I've also never heard the new lyrics, with the new music. Maybe the new lyrics are perfect for the new rhythms... 12 more days....12moredays...12 more days.... I think I've suffered long enough.... laterz Eric ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 03:29:43 -0500 From: ^HepCat^ Subject: RE: Politics & the Bible Tarry_Carapezza said: >Your right, I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about.

I was thinking about my last post, which was supposed to be a recreation of the posts that kept getting interrupted, I left a few important points out. Bobby: When I said Japanese view us as the "cool" people, I was referring to high school, where people follow someone else's lead in hopes to "fit it". I also wanted to give some of my view on college, in relation to what you said. I go to a school where frat boys and atheletes rule the school. It's kind of scary, the school supports both institiutions, both have members that are "allowed" to commit crimes, both encourage a corruption of what college is really for: to expand your mind, and none of this is the fault of the average student. Rich frat daddies and star ball players are the ones most likely to have connections after college,too. I'm not saying that anyone in either can spell their name if it's not written on their shirt or name tag, but they get the most opportunities. Imagine that, they go to college to party, get laid, and drink, and they're lauded for doing so.....someone get me outta here....

I don't know, I've never talked to him. What I do know is that Jerry Only should immediately stop giving interviews, because clearly interviewers everywhere are twisting his words and making him look like an ass. Nobody could be as dumb as he is being: In the course of 2 interviews (Juice and Metal Maniacs), Jerry has managed to trash Glenn Danzig, Henry Rollins, Greg Ginn, Dave Vanian, and Bobby Steele (indirectly). He's accused Bon Jovi and Metallica of ripping him off and says everything Caroline has released before the box set is shit (even though all that stuff made up half the box set). We get to hear how "if it wasn't for [Jerry] and Doyle there wouldn't be a Misfits... [or a Samhain, or a Danzig]" and hear how Glenn's band sucks [although they wanted Glenn because he has 200,000 fans]. Jerry ought to speak to someone else who's been in the same position and ask for advice. My suggestion would be to talk to Kevin DuBrow, the old (still?) vocalist for Quiet Riot. I'm sure he has an interesting perspective on the "I'm-great,-everyone-else-sucks" style of publicity. It's up to you, Mark. You're the only one who can save Jerry from himself. - Dave pmack@shore.net ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 16:01:48 -0700 (MST) From: Ben Todd Subject: Fiend Club? (and a couple of other things) Hey fiends, WHat's the deal with the FIEND CLUB? I dropped a line to the address, but have gotten no response. I just wanted to find out more info on the Club (no, ass-dumb- not the one that goes on yer steering wheel). Also, was the idea of a Bible T-SHIRT dropped? PATRICIA, I think you should put Walpurgis Night (Germanic Halloween-ish thing) on the calendar. Has anyone noticed that the songs on the 'Fits Box Set CD covers do not correspond to the order in which they are actually played? Also, about the BOX SET and the GETTING TO KNOW YOU Bible issue: there is an interesting MINOR THREAT connection in both. Lyle Preslar, guitarist for MT, was the exec. producer for the box set. Also in the getting to know you bible issue, it seemed like almost everyone who posted said that they dig MT. You guys rock! Has anyone ever read the issue of SECONDS magazine (#31 from last Spring) with the DANZIG interview? It's quite interesting. He talks a bit about RACE and POLITICS, and what he thinks about Farrakhan and stuff like that (I think it was in response to questions about "White Devil Rise."). I thought that maybe some of you would be interested, especially those guys who posted NO REMORSE and BFG as some of their favorite bands. Lastly, a few issues ago, someone posted stuff about MARTIAL ARTS. If any of y'all are into Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Filipino Martial Arts (Escrima/Kali), or even weight training, e-mail me!

OK... Hopefully I'm not the only one who hasn't sent in his/her stats yet. Here goes. 1) My Name Is Sean Weintz (I use CORPSE on IRC #MISFITS) 2) DOB: 12/19/1967 (28 yrs old, i think...) 3) Work: Consultant for Chemical/Chase Manhattan Bank. I am currently helping move/reconfigure networks for the recent merger between Chase Manhattan and Chemical banks in New York. 4) Other Bands: Agnostic Front, Negative Approach, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Murphy's Law (except the time Jimmy Gestapo dumped a gallon of beer on my head), etc, etc. 5) Got into the Misfits when I heard the Metallica cover of Last Caress, about 1988 or so. A friend who was trying to get me into Danzig had played me his 1st album. I had always like hardcore/punk and metla, so he thought I might like it. Halfway through the first song my reaction was "well, this is pretty dull". Then he played Metallica's cover of LAST CARESS, and told me Glenn wrote it. I was an instant fan. I love the bible, Keep up the good work Mark!

He >was kind enough to help my brother out with some problems after one of his >shows here. Henry is an incredible person with a hell of a brain. Personaly, I can see why Jerry might have a problem with Henry. My own limited experience with him taught me that he can be a real DICK (even though I still think he's a genius) If you ask him something he doesn't want to deal with or talk about, he'll get a real impatient tone to his voice and give you a snap answer that makes you feel like scum for asking. If you ask him something he wants to talk about, he's the coolest guy in the world. Real Helpful. He probably used that nasty tone with Jerry........ and I'm sure ROBO could have figured out for himself to get a lawyer. Anyway, what the hell does Henry care about ROBO? Last time he saw him was when he was detained in England on tour. When He got back to the US, Henry and Greg already had already replaced him (with Bill Stevenson, I believe), and that was how he wound up playing for the Misfits in the first place. I doubt Henry's advice was a serious attempt to help.

HR's manager was RICHARD BISHOP - of BONAPARTE records. He was the person responsible for releasing BEWARE. Michael Monroe was inspired to playing after he bought BEWARE. He's a big FITS fan. He let Richard manage him because of his ties to the MISFITS. In 1993, he did a series of gigs in New York. I had the honor of playing HORROR BUSINESS , NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and SEARCH AND DESTROY with him at three or four of these shows.

It was the first night of the tour - Richmond, VA. Anyway, first of all, Sheer Terror is off the tour, replaced by some band called Uranium 235, but at this show the opening band was Both Worlds. A lot happened at the show. I visited with the band on the tour bus for a bit and hung out with big John Grimm (he'll be doing the T-shirt table until the Lancaster show) and met quite a few Misfits Bible people, including Bobby Lust who apparently had travelled all the way from Alaska to make it to the show... unless he's been lying to us about where he really comes from. So, The Misfits took the stage at 9:30pm and left about an hour later. It was a blast of wild energy with Michale, Doyle and Jerry looking especially good. The set list: Halloween * Horror Business * I Turned Into A Martian Death Comes Ripping * All Hell Breaks Loose * The Hunger * Static Age * TV Casualty * Hybrid Moments * Last Caress * Skulls Devils Whorehouse * Return Of The Fly * Teenagers From Mars Children In Heat * Violent World * Vampira * Blacklight * The Haunting 20 Eyes * Hollywood Babylon * Horror Hotel * Ghouls Night Out Attitude * London Dungeon * Astro Zombies * We Are 138 (with Sal B from Sardonica) * Some Kinda Hate * American Nightmare * Mommy... Who Killed Marilyn? * Nike A Go Go * Come Back * Die Die My Darling That's a lot of songs, done fast. Michale is getting better and better. He really does a great job and he looked like he really was enjoying himself. There was something I saw tonight that kind of bothered me. After the show Jerry was doing his usual hanging out session with the Fiends, just talking and signing autographs and having a great time. He was talking to some guy about the DC show and out of nowhere the guy asks him if he can be put on the guest list for that show. I thought that was just plain wrong. The guest list is for friends of the band and it just seems pretty bad to go asking the band if you can be put on it, just so you don't have to pay for the ticket. Other than this, the evening was great. There is lots of new Misfits stuff on sale, including the Earth AD shirt. Whenever you buy something, remember to say hi to big John Grimm. You can't miss him, and he's got a great sense of humor. That's all. Oh yeah.... notice that very few Earth AD tunes were played? There's a reason. Jerry and Doyle don't like that stuff much.

I am going to the MISFITS SHOW IN PROVIDENCE this saturday. I would really like to meet some of you guys. Look for me there and don't be shy, I'm a hell of a guy. In order to stand out a bit from the sea of crimson ghost shirts, I will be wearing a WHITE GWAR SHIRT. Look for this. I will also be with a rather large guy who may somewhat look like he doesn't belong there. Look for him and try to spot my shirt next to him. To make finding eachother easier, the designated meeting place will be in front of the merchandise stand after all of the opening bands are over. Don't worry about getting up front early for the misfits, the club is fucking tiny. I hope to see some of you down there.

Cool , cuz I 've got one that was pressed probably pretty close to yours. It's almost clear with just a light green tinge. There are several darker green streaks running through it. My guess is these were from the start of the run ,I don't know. Like Mark said though , it boils down to that they are just green , cuz that was the only color press for Evilive. One question I might raise is this : If it was "sealed" how did the person selling it know to advertise it as "Clear-Turqoise"?? I remember my friend Robin buying one brand new when they were first issued , and the label said something like "Colored Vinyl Limited Edition of 1000." Or something close to that. Anyway , my point is that if it was really still sealed the caroline sticker should have read "green" or "colored" , but I don't think they would have put on "clear-turqoise." Sometimes dealers are low. - Keith ------------------------------ From: Gouge3@aol.com Date: Tue, 30 Apr 1996 19:54:22 -0400 Subject: Chicago = Misfits Haven This is in response to ChristoTen's comment about being at The Thirsty Whale in Chicago and seeing lots of Misfits shit...

Money is great, but it's not the best thing in the world and I think the Misfits know that. Don't get all pissed that you are being dicked out of money or what ever your arguement is. And please don't go around saying this is some plot to dick all of US out of money. If your so damn mad about the money than talk to Jerry or whoever about it, not the fans. Many people devote all or alot of their time to make this thing (the band, the Fiend Club, the bible, etc.) work. This is a great thing they got goin' for themselves and they do a hell of alot mare for their fans than mostly anyone today. I think you should understand the concept of money by now, Bobby. ------------------------------ From: Mike Schneir Subject: a late bio Date: Tue, 30 Apr 1996 19:28:48 -0700 (PDT) I know this is __way__ late, but I've been way too busy, so please forgive: 1) Real Name - Mike Schneir 2) Birthday - Feb 16. (birthdate '69) 3) Where you go to school, what are you studying, and or where you work - I graduated with a history degree from UCSD (Revelle College - home of more GE requirements than you can shake a stick at). My minor was Cognitive Psychology, and since Revelle is pretty much UCSD's school for science majors, and I went w/ liberal arts, I actually ended up getting a pretty broad education. But not a job. So giving up on the idea of going to grad school for History and then still being unemployed, I decided to be a computer programmer, so I got a programming job at AirTouch Communications in the San Francisco area, and then studied Computer Science at Berkeley for two years, to get some kind of "official" education in my field. I still work for AirTouch. But now I sort of want to teach again... 4) Other bands you like - too many to list. Top picks are probably Pink Floyd, Rush, Bauhaus, Minor Threat, Descendents, Kiss (through Love Gun), but also up there are old Metallica, Bach, Iron Maiden (through Powerslave), The Clash, Peter Tosh, old ACDC, Diamond Head, DeeeLite (yup), The Orb, Air Liquide, and just about any thing else punk, metal, techno, reggae, ambient, rock, or whatever, at least somewhat (trying to keep this short). Especially if it's funny (and sooths my jaded sensibilities ;). 5) What got you interested in the Misfits - Back in high school ('86) I met a guy who was into Misfits/Samhain, and of course I saw the shirts all over the place, so I started listening. I liked Samhain better at first, but soon grew to like the Misfits a whole hell of a lot more, starting when I noticed their lyrics were a lot funnier (same reason I started liking Kiss, and one of the reasons I like Maiden). 6) What are your other interests - Religious history, philosophy, computers, guitar, psychology, reading, I forget. 7) What is the last book you read - "I and Thou", by Martin Buber.

They did hang out at least once afterwards - The Misfits opened for Black Flag on June 10, 1983 and there is even a picture on the page of the Misfits hanging out with Rollins that very day.

It was great. I was sent flyers through the mail and was surprised to see that I was on the guest list, I tried to put up as many as I could but I only got them one day before the show! Well another fieend here at school went with me and we made the half hour drive to Ziggys in Winston Salem NC. When we arrived I was surprised to see all the fiends there, as we are down south I didnt expect that many. Well I came in and hung around and noticed a familliar face at the Misfits merchandise table, it was none other then the arch fiend Jonothan Grimm. I spoke to him for awhile and then came the opening band Uranium 235, they went on about 9pm. They were OK they kinda sounded like NIN. The crowd was waiting for the misfits so they were not very emotional for them. During the Uranium set Jerry came out into the audience and took pictures with fans and signed autographs. He was very nice and talked to everyone. I waited till it settled down a bit to approach him. I shook his hand and he planted the most massive hug on me, almost knocked my ass over. I talked him about the WWW page and the bible, he was very happy with how things were going and love the page and the Bible. He made me know that it is very important that we always keep strong in regards to the bible. Well I got a picture with Jerry and tried to flex as best could for it! At the end of Uranium's set Jerry came on stage to get the crowd up, but they were done. Then Sardonica came on, they were great and the crowd picked it up a little but were still very tame. The great thing about the show was how each band helped out to get their gear ready. This was all the bands including the Misfits. At last the Misfits came on! They openned with Halloween and the whole night was one big sing along! Michale was great, he had it all, the voice the showmanship, and the balls to go into the crowd to pound on some people who were causing problems. One guy even lit up a joint and Michale popped him good! Doyle and Jerry were their usuall bad selves, didnt miss a beat! The band was tight and all te songs were played to perfection. Doyle was very quiet through the show but Jerry was on fire singing along to all the songs and just plain lovin' life. Michale would lean out into the crowd and put the microphone in your face to sing along. He had these gloves on that had claws on them and I tried to stay awya from the gloves when it swung my way. They had so much energy! Another highlight of the show was when Sal B. from Sardonica came out to sing along to "We are 138". They played last carress twice as a sing along for the second time time which was great. The Misfits left the stage for a short bit and then came on again they asked for requests and this guy named Thomas who a big fiend( It is great to meet fiends at these shows, I talked to him and told him about the WWW page) yells out Where Eagles Dare! And then a look just came across Jerrys face of excitment. They pulled Thomas up and had him sing the song! They played Jackle and American Nightmare, which was great cause they use they heavy guitars for that song. I was screaming for Die Die my darling, then Jerry came to me and said that was the last song they would do and to come up! So I hear the intro to die die my darling and Jerry comes over and pulls me on stage to sing. So I got on Jerry's mic and started screaming (I had sung along to all the songs and even treid to sing along to the new ones so my voice was dying down). Michale came over to me and we sang together. We were getting into it and I got caught in the mouth by Michale's claw glove! Then I just dove off the stage when they were done. It was the greatest time of my life, a real dream come true! After the show I hung around to get them to sign the new tour shirt. I waited till things settled down a bit I got some pictures of DR. Chud because he was barly seen from behind his drums. Chud was a great guy and I got a picturre with him also. It was funny because Sal B. from Sardonica was packing up the set and I was calling to DR.Chud and he said that he gave him that nick name. I got a shot with Doyle and he was checking my new tattoo that I just got. I got a picture with Doyle and michale. Then Chud came back to talk with me about things on the page and the old Misfits, So I got one with him infront of the drum kit. I went over to Jerry next who was being Mobbed by people and answering all sorts of questions. He just told me to send this back to all the fiends and make surte the pictures I take get to the page. He was so happy about the show and was teasing me about my singing! The one great thing he said was "Did you have a great time, That is the important thing".After that I went to the back to hang with Jonothan Grimm again and the Michale came up and we all started talking about the show and just kidding around allot. It was just the greatest show ever. Those of you who are worried about Michale filling in Glenns shoes, dont! He was the best they couldnt have picked a better singer. The new songs were great, it isnt another Kryst it is the Misfits, in every aspect to the word! I will never forget this show for the rest of my life. It will be great to tell all the little D-Rods that I got up on stage and sang with the GREATEST band in the world.

I hope you were joking in that post. When I interviewed Jerry for Juice, I taped the conversation and what you read in the article are his words exactly. I dont think that he actually meant for every word to have been taken as the Holy Truth, rather, he exaggerated certain facts to prove a point. If hes got a beef with Rollins or Greg Ginn, why wouldnt you want to know? Since Glenn isnt really fond of the return of the Misfits, why would Jerry say anything different than what he did? All said, I think most of the comments can be classified as talking shit, something thatUs been happening forever in the media. Jerry probably wants to stir things up after close to thirteen years of not being in the public eye, and it looks like it worked. I mean, look at how he got you to react. Sean Weintz: I agree with you 100% about Rollins. Ive been a Black Flag, and then Rollins fan since I saw Flag on the In My Head tour and Henry has changed a lot. Hes a _rock star_ now. BTW, I saw Greg Ginn a few years back in a tiny club with his solo band and about half of the set was early Flag tunes. Greg cant sing for shit, but it didnt matter because it still sounded great. Misfits covers tidbit: I was going through a tape of a radio show I did with my good friend Spike, and came across an interesting tune, The Lemonheads doing an acoustic version of Skulls. I believe it was a radio release B-side tune. I dont know if this has ever been mentioned here, but if anyone wants a copy, e-mail me. Also, my friend Spike is about to turn 30, but still refuses to grow up. Hes a punk from way back and suggests the following lyric adjustment to Marilyn: the lyrics read _Could it have been the pact?_ He thinks it is _Could it have been the Pack?_ in reference to the Rat Pack.

I know I haven t posted in like forever; for the most part I haven t had much I ve wanted to say in a public forum and I wanted to stay out of the constant flame wars, but being as I finally got to see the Misfits I thought it might be easier to post a review than try and tell folks about it one at a time! Remember, these are just MY opinions so if you don t agree that s fine! I m still sorting out my feelings about it. I guess it was less than I d hoped for but better than what I was afraid of. Hmm... is that damning with faint praise? I know I didn t expect to see the "original" Misfits (by that I mean any line up that would have included Glenn Danzig) so I wanted to cut them some slack but I was still disappointed. I hate to fault Michale but the greatest weight is on his shoulders - it must be really difficult for somebody so young & inexperienced to suddenly be in the spotlight in a "known" band with a long established audience. He seemed really enthusiastic and energetic and was fun to watch, but at the same time it was kinda spooky. Now maybe I never saw the "old" Misfits but I ve watched those videos dozens and dozens of times and I guess he has too. It just seemed to me that every last move was learned from watching tapes of "how Glenn would have done it". I felt like I was watching an Elvis impersonator or a Kiss tribute band. All the gestures, the grimaces, the head shaking etc, all there. I guess I just felt it was a shame that his own personality didn t come through. I didn t come to watch a Danzig impressionist, I came to see Michale Graves. As for the music, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn t. OK, I m not a musician so I don t know the technical terms, but it seemed that a lot of the tempos (?) were rearranged and seemed less melodic and more thrashy; it often seemed like there were twice as many drumbeats as on the old recordings. As I had difficulty making out the vocals (much of this I blame on the mixing) I honestly had trouble telling which songs were which and sometimes they d be halfway into it before I could catch enough of the lyrics to tell them apart. I felt kinda embarrassed by this, yet I don t think anybody could say I am unfamiliar with the Misfits material. (my poor roommate Judy couldn t tell what most of them were - later on she was like "what do you mean they played London Dungeon - when?". And she s heard these nearly as much as I just by osmosis!) Sometimes they worked - I think the best sounds like were the "Walk Among Us" era material, also "Ghouls Night Out" and "Horror Hotel". Unfortunately for me it didn t work on the earlier material, especially the Static Age/Legacy songs like "Hybrid Moments" and "Come Back". And I m sorry to say it but they absolutely slaughtered "American Nightmare" which hurt as it s one of my all time favorite songs. Michale s vocals are adequate most of the time but when they play the songs that had REALLY showcased Glenn s voice, such as "Last Caress" or "Return of the Fly" I found myself missing Danzig even more and thinking about how it had been his voice that had drawn me to the Misfits in the first place. Maybe I m just asking for too much; it s hard not to be disappointed when you ve been a fan to the point of obsession with a band for so many years. I think the crowd came in with a lot less expectations as most of them seemed VERY young, they were certainly enthusiastic and enjoyed themselves. (I m glad to have been in the balcony out of harms way as watching the floor was like watching a popcorn popper). The audience certainly acted just like they did in all the old Misfits videos - punk after punk jumping on stage, doing the "punkrawk strut" (the "hey man I made it on stage - look at me" look) and leaping out into the audience. (I was beginning to think about making cards to score them with - no points if you hit the floor head first like the idiot that kept diving off the top of the speaker cabinets and would wander away dazed, sit down for a few minutes and then go do it again). At least the band seemed good natured about it all though I kept hoping some clueless idiot would impale himself on the head of Doyle s most impressive axe. The guitars were VERY cool - stylized to looking like they d just landed from outer space. The drum kit looked like something from Gwar s wet dreams with giant cartoon spikes all over it, and enough pieces to make 3 or 4 "normal" drum kits. I guess I just gotta give them more time so they can actually develop as a band - maybe when they have enough new material Michale can concentrate more on performing it in his own style rather than trying to do it "as Glenn would have done it". I d really like to see them develop into a band with their own personality rather than just lapsing into self-parody, and I think that s what they ve got to concentrate on doing. For me the high point of the evening came early - I REALLY enjoyed the first opening band Uranium 235! Definitely influenced by NIN but certainly have their own style. Picked up a copy of their demo tape & managed to find 3 of the 5 members and have them autograph it for me. Doing so was mainly my excuse to go up to them and tell them how much I enjoyed the band which they seemed really happy to hear being as they knew it wasn t exactly their sort of audience and they seemed a bit trepedatious about the crowd. I ll definitely go see them next time they are in town (which may be opening for either Life of Agony or Type O according to their singer) I wanted to add that I ve REALLY enjoyed reading everybody s bios so if you aren t too sick of them here is mine: Bio info on EVB (who hasn t posted since 138 but felt obligated to today) name: Elizabeth Victoria Bouras e-mail addy: sistinas@planetcom.com (home) bourase@gm1.nigms.nih.gov (work) date of birth - April 19, 1961 school: graduated 1984 from the Tyler School of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree occupation: day job funding grants in genetic research for the National Institutes of Health, run a side business called Amarna Productions selling my sculptures in limited editions other bands: currently : Marilyn Manson, NIN, Ministry, White Zombie, Electric Hellfire Club, the Nefilim, Hanzel Und Gretyl, Type O Negative, Sister Machine Gun, Tool, Prick past/ongoing - David Bowie, Iggy Pop/The Stooges, Alice Cooper, Patti Smith, Velvet Underground, The Doors, The Damned, The Cramps, Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Magazine, Killing Joke, The Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, dozens more!!!

It had a couple rough spots, but overall, two thumbs up. Only down points were the dickhead club staff. They really need to get their shit together. I had to ask at least 4 club employees where to go to use my backstage pass, then when I finally got to the right place, I was told I couldn't go back stage. All the band, except for Dolye, came out to greet people after the show anyway, so it was cool in the end. Oh, and I did get to meet our own Mark Kennedy. It was cool to finally meet the man who has brought us all together. On a brighter note, I did get on the guest list, so I was able to sell my ticket to a waiting fiend. I totally missed the first band Uranium 235 (?). Sardonica was pretty good, but I have to admit I was a bit distracted watching all the punkers, seeing all the shirts, looking at the stage setup, and just getting my bearings. I do remember Sardonica did this one 'jam', that was great. The Misfits took a bit of time getting set up. But It was worth it after them came on stage and played a few songs. There were quite a few sound problems. the mike was constantly going out on Michale, who is great btw. Doyle went through I don't know how many guitars and strings. But they did finally get everything working eventually. They ended up playing for close to an hour and a half. I can think of only a scant few songs they did not play. There were stage divers galore, and more mohawks than you can shake a stick at. The band was really cool about the fans on stage. I did see Doyle give someone a shove when they got too close. And on more than one occasion, Michale had to pull his mic back from someone whop got to grabby. But for the most part Jerry & Michale had no problem sharing the mic with fans who wanted to sing along. The guys were real good about hanging with the fans after the show. Jerry was like a 'dad' the whole time during and after the show. He told people to stop fighting, he was hugging people, & he talked about his kids. Dr. Chud was hilarious. Some one started to make fun of Glen, and he just kept asking, "Who?". Oh, and those of you on the bible who are not impressed by my Senate address, Dr. Chud certainly was. Like I said, all in all it was a great evening. -Tarry ------------------------------ From: Keith138@aol.com Date: Thu, 2 May 1996 11:59:22 -0400 Subject: German Evilive insert Last issue I think someone was wondering if the German Evilive 12" was supposed to come with a German insert and the answer is "yes."

Nobody could be as dumb as he is being: Dave, (this is NOT a flame) If you could have ever talked to Jerry you would realize what I mean. Jerry is the kind of person that speaks from the heart. If he's got something on his mind he spits it out, then worries about it later. Jerry also says things that are meant as a joke, he laughs as he's saying it. If an interviewer does not give the reader insight of course some comments are going to be put in the worst light. That's why the Ugly Things #12 interview came across sounding so pro-Jerry, because Mike took the time to say (Laughter) when Jerry was saying something in a half serious sense. I know Jerry and his mannerisms better than anyone on here, with exception to Bobby. Bobby hasn't been around him in a long time, and his view is somewhat biased anyway. I collaborated with Patricia on this, so I'll turn it over to her: to say that Jerry is a poor interview is pretty ignorant in itself...if any of you read Keith 138's fanzine interview you'd see that he pretty much says just exactly what he believes. Sometimes it comes out as mean spirited but I believe the guy is sincere, and a genuinely nice person who wants everyone to love him. (right bobby?:) ) And as all of us know, sometimes words are spoken in heat of the moment and God knows thats true of Jerry! But if he says anything he doesnt really mean, or realizes sounds over-bitter, he's not ashamed to admit he was wrong. Unlike your hero Henry Garfield Rollins!!! What is it with you people who worship an total nonentity like Henry Rollins! Who never had an original thought in that beetlebrowed bullet head of his! I AGREE with what Jerry said about him, and I bet I'm not the only one (no pun intended).

It's all a conspiracy.... Glenn is really coming back to the 'Fits, after he gets Danzig V out. He had Jerry put out some lame story about him not even wanting to talk to them, to get the fans still hanging on pumped and ready... Michale is just another hidden Caiafa brother, and only a ploy to draw attention from one of the biggest, surprise comebacks in history... Jerry was even directed to make disparaging remarks about other musicians, in order to create some controversy for the return... BaBaBooey... [The above was a joke, maybe even a dream.

I remember my friend Robin buying one brand new when they were first issued , and the label said something like "Colored Vinyl Limited Edition of 1000." Or something close to that. Anyway , my point is that if it was really still sealed the caroline sticker should have read "green" or "colored" , but I don't think they would have put on "clear-turqoise." Sometimes dealers are low. " Actually, it was completely sealed and I know the color cuz I cut it open! I don't keep stuff sealed, I collect stuff to play and look at and enjoy, etc. Anyhow, the store was vinyl solution in San Mateo CA and it's a great store, very Misfits-aware. It did just have the "colored vinyl" sticker, so I didn't know the color till I opened it. You're right about it not really being green. It's extremely clear and it has those green swirls. -Adam ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 May 1996 10:51:03 -0500 (CDT) From: Jon Morse Subject: Bass Pedals Fiends- I was just wondering if any of you knew what kind of pedal- if any- Jerry uses/used for his bass?

Like many people, I was very nervous - thinking what if they stink, what if they sound like heavy metal, etc. (I'm not trying to put down metal, I'm just saying that some of us punkier types don't want the misfits to sound like that). As soon as the set started, my worries vanished as the misfits plowed through song after song, barely stopping for breath... there was literally always at least one or two fans up on the stage. They really captured the raw energy that made the misfits great - fuck sound quality, fuck playing well, just jump around, throw some ecstatic kids back into the crowd... I thought Michaele kicked ass - he really held up against Doyle's tremendously loud guitar, captured the feeling, even got pulled into the crowd a couple times and got back up singing without a second thought. At one point he wrapped the mic cord around this kid's neck and used it to yank him out over the crowd!!! Of course then the mic was broken as a result, but it was great. Anyway, make no mistake as to why Jerry's doing what he's doing - last night he was having the time of his fucking life. Me too! aon-1 PS- I was listening to "Bloodfeast" and my roommate thought Glenn was saying "Be prepared for a grizzly butt feast." ------------------------------ From: "AngelfucK" Date: Fri, 3 May 1996 16:50:08 GMT-4 Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #172 Bobby, You mentioned earlier that the Undead were going to play in Montreal. When? I hope it's at the end of the summer cause Im just about to spend all my cash on a trip to see the misfits. Im from Canada by the way. Montreal is about a 12 hour drive. So let me know the details when you find them out yourself. You can email me if you want. Ill give you my adress there or whatever but I really want to go. Montreal is a cool town. It's where I saw the Ramones for the first time and I really want to go back Tks Roger Holmes ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 May 1996 16:30:16 -0400 From: She Subject: DC done Wednesday night I went to see the Misfits in DC with my brother and my old pal Mike Priddy (who was on this mailing list way long ago). I originally met Jerry because of my brother Ethan, and he and Jerry hadn't seen each other in about a year. We went back in the dressing room before the show and Jerry was doing some sort of interview for a show on the sci-fi channel, or at least that's what I thought. Anyway... the place was pretty crowded, but the crowd itself didn't seem as excited as the Richmond crowd had been. There was an immense amount of stage diving, but not nearly as much singing along... The DC crowd seemed more interested in stage diving and running around than having a good time and singing along. The show itself got off to a bad start. Doyle was having some problems with his guitar and they did part of Horror Business with the bass only, just like in the old days when the guitar would get unplugged. The guitar problems must have really jazzed him into life though - I have never seen Doyle like that before - thrashing his head around and going all over the stage instead of just staying on his side - It was great! Michale was great too. He seemed to have a lot of fun as usual, and climbed about 20 feet up on top of some of the amps and did part of a song from up there, looking like a mix between Elvis and Glenn Danzig '82... From time to time he pulled out this big squirt gun and blasted the audience with water. The guys did 43 or 44 songs (I can't remember if they actually played Night Of The Living Dead) and stuff really picked up near the end as the encores were nearing. After hopping off the stage, they came back up and tore through a mini Earth AD set which sounded absolutely great. I never knew how great that Earth AD stuff could be. I guess it's because it was recorded live in the studio in the first place. They did almost EVERY song that they will play. There are about 10 songs that we will never see them play - Halloween II, Theme For A Jackal, Cough/Cool, Spinal Remains, Rat Fink, Spook City, Demonomania, even Who Killed Marilyn [although they do it on occassions], so we didn't miss out on much. Near the end of the encores, Jerry dedicated "She" to me, since I had asked him to play it before the show. I hadn't heard them do that song since I saw them rehearse in October of '94 before they had a singer.... so it was pretty cool. After the show, Jerry gave me a big hug. He was really having a great time... Everybody seemed to have enjoyed it. Here are the songs they played in order: Halloween * Horror Business * I Turned Into A Martian Death Comes Ripping * All Hell Breaks Loose * The Hunger * Static Age * TV Casualty * Hybrid Moments * Last Caress * Skulls Devils Whorehouse * Return Of The Fly * Teenagers From Mars Children In Heat * Violent World * Vampira * Blacklight * The Haunting 20 Eyes * Hollywood Babylon * Horror Hotel * Ghouls Night Out Attitude * London Dungeon * Astro Zombies * Hate Breeders Bullet * We Are 138 (with Sal B from Sardonica) Encores: Green Hell * Queen Wasp * Devilock * Bloodfeast * Earth AD * Some Kinda Hate Where Eagles Dare * Nike A Go Go * Come Back * American Nightmare * Mommy She * We Bite * Die Die My Darling Apparently they did Wolfsblood the next night in Philadelphia... I don't know. Send me your setlists everyone! I want to have a whole listing of what they played at every show. Also Fiends, I'm really sorry this issue got out so late. For those of you who asked, if you want to order the Manimals LP, make your checks out to Larry The Wolf. Also, I got some info on this company called Uneartly Possessions - they put out a horror catalog that features toys, videos, posters, shirts, cards, comics, magazines, models, books, and more...Email wgky77a@prodigy.com for more info.

Hi all you fiends out in BIBLE LAND, well now to get down to business 1) to Mike FOD as far as i know are not together, I have two lps from them and the orig. press of their first 7" Love Songs. This was bootlegged quite awhile ago by some place in Germany. Though i would suggest to find it cause the songs on it are great. Also the German Evilive 12" does not have reviews of bands, it's a clear plastic inner sleeve, and the paper sleeve Has a picture of the Misfits playing live. To Adam Kriney - the 5 bands you were asking about in the last bible are very good. I have songs from all 5, which i'm sure we can work out some kind of tape trade. Fear is a bit harder though, their records are rare especially the first 7"- which is valued around the same as a Cough/Cool. Also Lee Ving(lead singer) is an actor too. He was in several movies including the movie Clue. To Wes - well someone tries to be a little nice and you start that joke shit, buddy you must be one lonely individual cause no one in their right mind would put up with that crap. To Pat tell me what you need for the calendar as far as all the Birthdays of the fiends. This is to all fiends if you want in on the calendar ie your b-day then e-mail in the questionnaire. I know there are lots of you that subscribe so put you ass in gear and get it in. Till next time.

Arcata, CA, via bakersfield college, via the university of rochester, via bakersfield college, via high school. i'm double majoring in Applied Mathematics and Environmental Science. this way i'll be able to sit in a forest and calculate my umemployment earnings. Job: maybe over the summer, yeah, that's it. Other bands: asside from the Glenn trio that is, White Zombie, Electric Hellfire Club, Metallica, Depeche Mode (it's an acquired taste), Anti-Nowhere League, NIN, Rush, Ministry, Napalm Death, pretty much anthing except country, r&b, and the gratefully dead. Where my obsession began: when i got out of high school a few years ago i was disgruntled with the music i had been listening to and wanted a taste of something new. a friend of mine suggested i give Danzig a try. so i went out and bought lucifuge (mainly because D 1 didn't have a song listing on the box and i didn't want to buy the album only to find out there were only three songs on it or something like that). i brought it home and played it and though it sounded quite bluesy and reminded me a lot of the doors for some reason. but regardless, it was still cool. i remember unfolding the booklet to form the upside down cross. that was just too cool. i had been listening to metallica for a while and eventually i put together that last caress/green hell and glenn went together, but i had no idea what band it was from. so i looked into it and eventually bought Collection I. it's all been downhill from there... Last book i read (if you want to call it a book): Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde by R.L. Stevenson. i'm currently reading Savage Inequalities by Johnathon Kozol (or something like that). it's not exactly your normal pick of reading material, but it's interesting. First Bible: #56 (i think) Other interests: spending too much time on this damn contraption in front of me, correspondence, annoying my hall with glenn over and over, spending too much money on cd's i don't have and assorted memorbillia i really don't need. crew, when my grades let me. oh yeah, and occasionally i study like the good student i'm supposed to be. *** guess that's enough for those of you who care and too much for those of you who don't.

That's where I learned about the Japanese scene. Also, TIMES SQUARE's drummer used to be in the DEVIL DOGS, so betweeen those people I've gotten a decvent idea of what it must be like over there. There just seems to be this 'innocence' about them. I met this one girl , afew years ago - who'd flown to New York so she could see Michael Monroe play. I thought that was a bit overly fanatical, but then I heard her story. She was a BIG HANOI ROCKS fan, who was in the hospital, dieing. Michael heard about here and flew to Tokyo to visit her in the hospital. That was enough to give her the will to live, so out of appreciation, she HAD to come here to see him. He's truly one of the nicest guys I've met in this business. ~~~~ To: hepcat, You said it. ~~~~ to:HorrorKid I'm glad you understand what I'm talking about re: college. There's also the pseudo intellectual, who wants to prove their so smart, that they'll agree with whatever crap their teachers throw at them , no matter how subversive and incorrect it might be. I've seen frineds get suckered into Nazi organizations, and Communist organizations this way. Communism is generally the main choice for the "suckers" in our colleges. I believe Colleges are for learning, not for social clubs. Frats should be terminated, since, as you pointed out, they are generally 'priviledged' brats who disrupt the education process for the less priviledged; and then they use their frat contacts to get good jobs - even though they don't qualify for the job. ~~~~ To WES THOMAS, YOU are either the biggest asshole, or the master of sarcasm.

For the HORROR BUSINESS sessions, I used a GIBSON MARAUDER, which got stolen in '81. I'd like to find that guitar, since it has some sentimental value. It was purple metal-flake with Glow-in the-dark monster stickers on it. I played through a small MUSICMAN amp that was in the studio. The SONGSHOP sessions, were done mainly with THE PAUL ('79). I also used one of my STRATS ('71) for some of the solos, and on the RATT FINK solo I used the previous two guitars, along with a DANELECTRO that was laying in the corner of the studio. That's how I got that "shitty" (Jerry's quote) sound. For an amp, I used a FENDER TWIN. At MSP, I used THE PAUL, the STRAT, and I think I had my '69 LES PAUL CUSTOM too. Robbie Alter had a BC RICH MOCKINGBIRD which I tried to use, but didn't like. For an amp, I used my '69 MARSHALL 1/2 stack. As far as DOYLE; I'm pretty sure he used the MXR also, since I got turnes onto it after using his.

I've lost some really good friends to it. I will say that I HATE that disease, and it is terrible to see people waste away. One of THE UNDEAD's first roadies has it righ now. He's had it since about 1984, and was supposed to die in1990. He's still here, and the motherfucker has more drive then almost anybody I know. He's always off on some 'mission' - walking down the street with this look of determination on his face. We all joke that he's gonna outlive all of us, 'cause he's too mean to give in. My main problem with AIDS is that it's been used as a tool to further the political ambitions of certain groups, with no regard as to public safety. I support quaratining people with contageous, fatal diseases. In the case of AIDS, it would also keep PWA's away from colds, flus - and other illnesses that would kill you. I hope I'm not sounding insensitive, but with all respect to you, These are just my feelings about it. I think, if they had enacted the quarantines similar to the ones that they'd used to stop the spread of tuberculosis; they might have nipped AIDS in the bud, and most of my friends would still be here. I stopped counting them years ago. > Paul Hahn If you think there's a solution > hahnpaul@acm.msu.edu then you're part of the problem. The solution is for people to act more responsibly, and to have espect for each other. (that's just my opinion, and it's no more or less valid than anyone elses) ------------------------------ From: Bile666@aol.com Date: Sat, 4 May 1996 12:13:07 -0400 Subject: Friday Night's Show The Misfits show on Friday night was one of the best I've ever seen. First off, I'd never been to the Stone Pony before. When I drove down the block, I first saw the "Stone Pony Annex" and thought that was where the show was going to be. It looked like a shack. I'd heard that the Stone Pony was a shitty place but I didn't think it was that bad. I was relieved when I went further down the block and saw the real club. Anyway, there were three (yes, THREE) opening acts and, in my opinion, that was three too many. First there was Flatus, a local band who's put out their own t-shirts and EP's and such. They were alright but every song sounded the same to me. But they were okay. Then came the horror. Some band called Both Worlds took the stage and, Jesus Christ, they were awful. Every song had some kind of trippy guitar solo. EVERY song. The crowd let them know what they thought of them. The lead singer was a jerk. When he heard the crowd's disapproval, he started ranting about how it was "1996" and told the crowd to "step into the future." He then started talking about how he hated this "old school, old school" stuff and that the guys in the Misfits were old enough to be grandfathers to some of the kids in the crowd. What an appreciative guy, huh? I mean, NO one would've gone to see them on their own, they get a chance to play a fairly big show, and they turn around and bad mouth the guys who gave them the shot. What did Jerry or Doyle do to them? If the crowd doesn't like you, the crowd doesn't like you. He made it all the worse for himself by acting like a jerk instead of just finishing his set. He threw some stickers to the crowd which were then thrown right back at him. That
