It's a label. The Misfits don't consider themselves a punk band, and I don't think Jerry ever did. If they play or sound like punk to you, that's fine, but what they choose to play (which will never be metal) is up to them. If you consider Earth AD metal, then I guess you're out of luck, but I guess I'm confused by your answer below. > > Would you consider "Cough/Cool" "Come Back" > > "American Nightmare" "20 Eyes" and "Green Hell" all the same type of > > music? It's all based on interpretation. > > yes, if you leave out cough/cool and american nightmare. > So "20 Eyes," "Green Hell," and "Come Back" are all the same type of music, even though you said the EARTH AD stuff was "metaly?" I think the case is that the Misfits play and listen to diverse music. that's all mark ------------------------------ From: "a.proctor" Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 18:26:05 GMT0BST Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #180 To Mark: Now your rebutt to Thomas B. Lowe was unfair. We all make asumptions. And even if Michale is not trying to be Glenn, Jerry and Doyle chose him because he sings, looks, and acts like him. To Crimson Ghost: Are you illiterate or do you just enjoy being condescending? My point is simple: The New Misfits are a tribute band. End of point. I don't give a shit how Glenn fucking Danzig sees it either. Has he been to see them? No. Have I? Yes. I will go to see them again because I enjoy tribute bands, but they should not be pretending to be The Misfits. About the 30 better bands: It's not that you like other bands besides the Misfits that pisses me off. Fuck, if anyone out there only listened to the Misfits they would be missing quite a bit of good music. But it's the way you stated yourself: You don't really like the Misfits, you're only here to defend your friend Jerry, we're all a bunch of pathetic losers for really liking this band. The point is you belittle others on this list in every issue. I'm only on this list for another week (maybe I'll be back in October) so I guess it's stupid for me to be arguing with you. But I think I've been arguing a pretty important point and then you refer to me as "another kid who wants to argue with you." I've been on this list for about six months and I never argued with anyone until something I felt strongly about came up. You really need an attitude adjustment.

What I printed is all that was said , nothing more. I didn't follow that line of questioning any further either because I didn't want to stir up any bullshit. It looked to me like someone had just been feeding a line of shit about Eerie to Jerry , so I stopped right there. Right after that , Eerie answered some questions for me for the fanzine and he didn't have anything bad to say about anyone. Eerie is a great guy. Jerry is a great guy. Someone was just trying to start some more trouble is all. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 15:46:10 -0400 (EDT) From: hemler@msmarys.edu Subject: Baltimore show This is my first post on the bible so I just wanted to say HEY to all of you Bible members out there. I was wandering if any of you know anything about the Baltimore show coming up in June...There was something about it in the news section of the Misfits central page and I was just wandering if any of you know anything else about it..If you do I would be very grateful because I wanted to go to the 9:30 club show but I didn't get to and Baltimore is probably the only other place around here they will play..Well talk to ya later. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 16:32:41 +0000 From: Jake Starr Subject: Misfits Tribute EP As many of you already know, EvilDieff AKA don dieffenbach was compiling a tape of misfits cover tunes by bands of bible listers. i have decided to join in on the organization of the project. so far, don has received submissions from: devilock leech solefish adam west bane exit only here's the deal: i wanna put out a 4-song 7" EP on my label, fandango records. don and i are gonna choose the best four songs from all the bands that give us submissions. since i am in ADAM WEST, i will not include my band on the 7". i'd like to press between 300-500 and sell them to bible listers first, then advertise elsewhere. this certainly isn't to make money, it's just a cool project. we need more submissions! i know there are more bands out there who do misfits covers cuz i read about you every week! please send cassettes to the below address so we can get this shit together soon! or e-mail me for more info or whatever. -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Jake Starr/ADAM WEST * Fandango Records * 1805 T Street, NW #A * Washington, DC 20009-7128 * (202) 483-0065 * eMAIL: jyas@loc.gov * http://www.access.digex.net:80/~yield/adamwest.html * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 23:11:15 +0000 (GMT) From: Bad Ninja Subject: what's your problem?

Sylvester" Subject: Various Growls.... Grrrrreetings all... I've been with the Bible since the beginnings, but this is probably my first post to the Bible in probably over a year... I've been a bit out of it due to school and numerous other reasons... If you don't care to hear me ramble, then please scroll on...I don't mean to bore anyone out there... Some out there may know me... If not, I'm the guy who maintains the Graphical Discography...which, incidentally is finally working 100% and the ONLY things I need now are decent scans of the Evilive 7" 3 pack... http://www.prairienet.org/~anthrax/m-gdisc.htm My trading list is also available on-line to anyone who cares... follow the 'audio' link at the bottom of that page, or just go to /~anthrax and follow the links... I wouldn't mind someone who could get me a copy of any of the 'secret' shows in late October '95... I have *tons* of stuff for trade...and some low gen/high quality MiSFiTS stuff... how often does one see a MiSFiTS show (not from a bootleg disc) that can be traced back to the taper and has a generation? ;) A word of warning tho, if you are not MATURE enough to realize that some people have wide musical tastes and its not neccessary to vent your opinoin on any specific band you may not like or tolerate, then DON'T go looking at my list... I'm not trying to flame-bait anyone, or point any fingers, but there has been enough problems on this list in the past... Another thing... Because of my location at school (Iowa City), I was unable to get ANY of the Collection II vinyls...in fact I had a rough time even getting the CD... and, frankly, it makes me *SICK* that some people out there have multiple copies of the Collection II vinyl... sure, I can understand some people wanting to get all the colors and stuff, but I just saw some lists that have multiple colors of this thing... well, maybe you got extra to help out people like me who were not able to get it? Maybe not. If anyone is kind and wants to somehow lead me to *any* colored (ie non black) vinyl of this thing I'd be forever grateful... I've helped many a person out on here with stuff, and some have been generous to me as well... kinda like a good karma / bad karma kinda thing, if that makes sense... After scanning over the collectors page on the www page, I've confirmed that nobody has a tape compiled of the various songs that have been played or collected from the Max's Kansas City 12/28/78 show... I don't know if this will work or not, but I think its a decent idea, as this is one of the earliest known Misfits recordings, and several of these tracks have never again surfaced with Glenn singing them live... What I would like to do is hunt down people (or the actual radio stations themselves) with MASTER/CLEAN copies of the songs, then compile all of them *digitally* onto a DAT tape to preserve the quality. From this I would then offer up a free copy to anyone on the list who wanted one... True, the show would be complete, but 8 out of 12 songs isn't too bad... If you don't care about this, then scroll on, and I'm sorry to have wasted your time... Ok, the original Max's Kansas City 12/28/78 tape had 12 tracks... Bullet | Where Eagles Dare | Who Killed Marilyn? | Horror Business Static Age | TV Casualty | Hollywood Babylon | Teenagers From Mars Children In Heat | Attitude | Blue Christmas | We Are 138 During the WSOU FM 4/13/95 radio show, Jerry played the following cuts: 1.Static Age (live) | 2.Horror Business (live) | 3.Hollywood Babylon (live) 4.Where Eagles Dare (live) During the WCWP FM 4/20/95 radio show, Jerry played the following cuts: x.Horror Business (live) | x.Hollywood Babylon (live) 5.Teenagers From Mars (live) During the WFMU FM 4/20/95 radio show, Jerry played the following cuts: x.Teenagers From Mars (live) | 6.Children In Heat (live) x.Static Age (live) | 7.TV Casualty (live) On the FlipSide compilation has: 8.Attitude (live) I need some help from 'fiends out there... Please email me and help me hunt down people who taped these things...or lead me to the actual radio station if its in your area or if you have knowledge of it... I have copies of 2 out of the 3 radio shows where Jerry played live tracks, but one is extremely staticy and the other isn't a master copy (ie taped directly off the radio) and my goal is to keep the quality consistent throughout the tape... Please refer to the Discography part on the www page for more info and locations on the radio interviews... All tapes 'lent' to me will be handled with great care and will be returned promptly as soon as the project is done, or as soon as they are needed back... I've traded tapes for years, and my name is good, just ask around... Plus, I'm the guy who runs the Graphical Discog, so its somewhat guaranteed that I won't run off with whatever people send me... Does this sound like a decent idea or no? Maybe I'm just going crazy... On another note, I'll be going to the Chicago show... Any other fiends out there going and want to attempt to meet somewhere? What are some good strategies for bringing stuff to the show to get signed, but not destroyed during the show? Thats it... if you have anything relevant, please EMAIL ME as sometimes some parts of issues can slip by me... Oh, and a final, barely MiSFiTS releated thing... I'll be in London, England from June 13-18 this summer, and I'll be very close to Earl's Court; and then after that I'll be in Paris, near Sorbonne and the Latin Quarter and I believe its in the Place d'Italie. Can anyone (UK/Euro people speak up!) point me to some highlights of this area: concert sites, music shops, pubs, castles, dungeons, etc of note? If so, please EMAIL ME and I'll be eternally in thanks... death comes ripping, - Carl (csylvest@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu / http://www.prairienet.org/~anthrax) ------------------------------ From: MR JOSEPH F MARINO Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 20:57:31, -0500 Subject: Lighten up... Hey, I am a new head to the Bible. I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in and say what is everyone's problem? Talking about the Misfits can't do this and they can't do that and they must do this. Why categorize or set limits. The Misfits are the Misfits and I think they are too diverse to ever be put into one category. There is a lot of hatred here and I don't get it. You all love the band right? I mean who cares if they got a new singer? Glenn probably had other things to take care of. I've been listening to the Misfits for a long time and I was thrilled that at least some of 'em would carry on. I'd rather have something than nothing. Anyway no one probably cares what I have to say and I really don't give a shit. I had something to say and I said it. So while some people continue to trash this person or that person to swell up their own ego, I'm just gonna step back, crank up Static Age and just ENJOY J. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 May 96 19:10:50 MDT From: "Cadet Kyle J. Pumroy, x4748" Subject: CG/videos/LA. CG -you're right, there obviously are a lot of people who enjoy your posts, I'll admit I do once in a while, I should have clarified that it was no loss to me, as oposed to the bible. -as for Wing Wiper, I'd prefer you at least use my call sign, Big Bear. Everybody else -I've told mark about this, but in case anyone else wants to know, you can get Until You Call on the Dark video on the Box Tunes video, about 10 bucks at Best Buy. And you can get the live Mother video on the new Mtv Buzz Bin: volume 1 video (I believe it exists but I haven't seen it). -One last thing, I read a post a week ago on the Danzig newsgroup (yes I admit I still read it) and a guy wrote about his experience getting arrested in Louisiana with the Misfits. My question, is the guy who wrote this on the bible and if so has he ever posted his story? It seemed like he's not on the bible because he couldn't remember Doyle's brother's name! It's kinda fun reading about it first hand, don't remember seeing him posting it here before. I know it's been discussed on the bible, just don't remember it being from someone who was there. bye kyle ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 May 1996 03:13:17 -0500 (CDT) From: Maries Snavely Subject: ONETON On May 17 I saw a show at the Atomic Cafe in Rapid City SD. The band playing was ONETON.. The lead singer was a big pumped motherfucker. The band was playing their songs sounding much like the misfits. Then out of no where.. the lead singer yells.. " Do any of you fuckers listen to the misfits, didnt think so," and they played 20 eyes, and SHE. immediatly after the show, the band took off and i didnt get to talk to them to see where i could get their album(s) they said they had for sale.. the band sounded MUCH like the misfits and are well worth checking out.. the name is ONETON. AT one point the lead singer threw down the mike and jumped into the mosh and beat the shit out of everyone.. a definatly good show.. Anyways i was wondering if anyone knows anything about this band or where i can get ahold of them.. if they are coming to your town, make sure you dont miss em.. hs ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 May 1996 12:56:19 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: Hippo Hi - I've been doing this crazy 3-days-in-PA, 4-in-DC thing lately while moving the band from DC to PA. Anyway, I just got back from helping Mark get everything set up for our evil, money-grubbing bootleg operation, so now everything should be set and ready to go. <----Sarcasm, people. Many of you that sent in orders early on should have them in your hands very soon. A reminder to anyone who wants copies of the "Hymns from Hell" audio and or the "Evil IS..." video - get your orders in by JUNE 5!! Videos are $10 ppd and audios are $4 ppd in the U.S. Foreign fiends should add a couple of bucks for extra postage. Finally, the bootleggers that I refered to as "assholes" were the guys who took this "Bible Only" video and audio and put them out on the open market (conventions, MRR, etc). They disobeyed the "Not For Sale" labels all over the tape and the unwritten rule that these tapes were for Bible Members Only. To top that off, they even used my covers and whited out the Not For Sale info, while LEAVING EVB AND MY ADDRESSES ON THE BOX!!! Basically, I just don't want my name or EVB's name on a tape that that is 1) being sold for a rediculous amount of money and 2) is of shitty quality, as most of the copies I've encountered have been. I call these people assholes because they breached my trust and faith in everyone on this list and used my name in their shady operations. You'd feel the same. OKay, to contribute to my enormous bankroll, send all orders to: Misfits Audio/Video c/o Brent Eyestone 2005 Montor Dr. By JUNE 5**** Stafford, VA 22554 USA p.s. There was a fiend from CA with an odd name (Savan or something) who did not include payment with his/her order. If this was you, please send in your payment and we'll get your video out ASAP. Thanks. -Brent ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 23:23:03 -0400 From: Bobby Steele <104600.2577@compuserve.com> Subject: re #180 >Date: Sat, 18 May 1996 14:49:28 -0700 >From: Thomas Lemmon >Subject: Misfits and Anthrax > Hey Bobby, maybe you can help me out here.

McAllister" Said: >Well, y'all can tell Jerry that I'm still out here in California waiting >for his ass to get out here and play. My question is: has anybody seen >my art on the current tour? Yeah that poster is GREAT!! Jaid was hanging 'em up for the Danbury show, I was lucky enough to snag one. I have it hanging on my wall, I think I'm gonna do it with watercolors. Lemme know via email if you could send me a slightly enlarged copy on good quality stock. Keep up the good work man! David Arthur Aufox Said: >mark> Metalizing? You should actually see the band before you make this >mark> kind of statement. >i'm just going from various things i have heard on and off this mailing >list. i plan on seeing them regardless so i can actually see it, but what >i have head so far itn't promising....i tihnk even you said that they have >taken a kryst-like sound on... I've posted this many times, I think I can speak with good authority on this as I've logged more hours than any of you by listening to them practice everyday for two years. It's *NOT* metal, It doesn't sound like KTC. It sounds just like the Misfits. They play a little better these days, but all in all it's just a heavier feel to the music. NOT metalized at all! >its only metalizing if they start playing metal.... there is nothing >wrong with them wanting to play metal... they should just start something >from scratch, and not use the name of a punk band to do it. Since when is the Misfits a punk band?? They did one album of true Punk Stuff (Static Age) then transformed into some sorta goth-rock type thing (WAU), then became a total Goth-horror-hardcore outfit (EAD, The least listenable stuff). I really think that before you form anymore opinions you should just go to a show. Look at Brett Fama! He went to that show with an open mind and look at what happened to him! He's gotta be the biggest Danzig fan I know (next to EVB) and he had a great time. Why did he have a great time?? Because he went to the show without any pre-concieved notions about what it was gonna sound like. Evil Don, >crimson ghost: who do you consider to be a good songwritter. just curious. I don't know if I want to touch this question. but I'll attempt it. First off realize that I NEVER called Glenzig a bad songwriter. I called him a mediocre songwriter. Mediocre, meaning he was OK, not bad, but not god's gift to music. He has his moments, every now and then he comes up with something cool. I thought he approached that coolness with "Can't Speak" it's a great tune. Glenn's lyrics cannot and will not ever stand by themselves, with Glenn it's the interaction of the music with the lyrics. nothing wrong with that mind you. There are just other people in the business that do it much better than him, and I'm not speaking of just the HardRock/punk/alterno world either. My musical tastes are quite eclectic. If I have to come up with a few incredible songsmiths I'd have to say: Peter Shelley (Buzzcocks), Carol King, Roger Waters, oh and of course Brian Wilson. These people write lyrics that could be read like fucking poetry! and they do it consistantly, they also take those lyrics and mate them with music(that they've also written) and create something special. I think where I might be confusing you is with the difference between Lyrisist and Songwriter. Glenn's pretty good at putting some lyrics to music, but as a lyrisist he loses something. To be truly awe-inspiring you must be able to do both duties well. So anyway, don't get me wrong he's pretty damn good at what he does, I like it. But I cannot see how anyone can elevate him past his talent level. I've heard people refer to him as the most talented individual to ever record a record. These people really need to get out more. I'm not aiming this at you Don, you asked a simple question, you didn't express an opinion on the matter so don't take my comments the wrong way. Tammy? tes777 said: >It seems to me that lately during the tour a lot of you have >formed some negative attitude about Glenn. He doesn't live up to >your standards anymore. He's not as good as Michale. He wouldn't >have amounted to anything if it wasn't for Jerry. WHAT A FUCKING >JOKE!!! Just because you disagree with something doesn't make the whole concept a "Fucking Joke". I realize that you have liked the band for a long time, but for you to say something along these lines is real immature sounding. I've done my homework on this and talked to more people than I care to remember, My opinions are *informed* opinions not total bullshit. What you're saying may be your opinion but it just stinks of emotion, not fact. ~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~-=`=-~ If you complain there gonna get viscious... ...kick in your teeth and charge you with assault..

So the Misfits are touring with Anthrax and you don't like Anthrax... Here's an idea - DON'T GO TO THE SHOW!!! I love punk as much as the next punkass motherfucker, and I'm no big metal fan either - but the misfits can tour with whomever they want. I hope they have a great time with Anthrax! How many times do we have to hear that the misfits were trying to be a 50s horror band, and they just happened to pick up punk along the way? From what I've heard, most of the punks didn't give a fuck about 'em back in the day anyway - the Misfits just too weird. Of course I wasn't there and I don't even remember where I heard that, hell I'm probably wrong but my point is who are we to tell the Misfits whom to tour with? Oh yeah - this whole argument about which member WAS the Misfits is totally inane. Anybody who's been in a band knows that everybody has a hand in it, much more than you'd think... All this "if there were no Grover Cleveland, there would be no misfits" is so pointless it reduces me to tears. It takes peanut butter AND jelly to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and you can write that analogy down.

ANYWAY, i am planning illinois area can e-mail mes show and then the st. louis show. any fiends looking to hook up at the show or who are attending one of the two from the central illinois area can e-mail me at maricha@acadcomp.cmp.ilstu.edu or even call me at 309-829-9398 or 217-398-3980. by the way, i saw the new t-shirts today at the indie record store in bloomington/normal- the jerry shirt was cool but the GHOST RIDERS thing was kind of silly- it looked a little too metal-ish-- now there i go. well, it did, i'm sorry. those were the only two they had. does anyone else think that cannibal corpse is beyond silly? i had a dream about the fuckin show last night (see how pumped I a, but the misfits kicked everybody's ass anyway. what a show! now for the real thing! only two weeks to go! you bet your life there's gonna be a fight you bet your life because the hills have eyes this day anything goes burnin' bodies hangin' from poles ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 May 1996 21:19:00 -500 (CDT) From: Phil Priest Subject: Corpus Christi show well first time i've posted to the bible ;) but anyway any fiends going to the corpus christi show by chance?

Hello Fiends, well this is the last call for the birthdays. Pat wants to get this part of the calendar done and we have been dragging on for weeks. SO let me put this as sharp and to the point. If you haven't sent in your birthday and you want to be in the calendar, get off your lazy ass, get to a computer and send it in before the end of this week. Everyone who has sent me their b-day has been sent off to Pat for the calendar. SO YOU DEADBEATS THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING TILL THE LAST MINUTE AS USUAL BETTER GET MOVING OR YOU'RE ***NOT*** GOING TO BE IN THE CALENDAR. Got it, Good. To the lighter side, well i must say i'm not sorry for the bit from Mondays bible about the Glenn Bashing. All i see is are a bunch of fiends still feeling the effects from the recent New Misfits shows they saw. I will probably go to see the show, but i'm not looking for a replacement of the ORIGINAL MISFITS. I'm happy to have all my records, and collectables. I like to listen to the songs and played some of the tapes to death. Shit you can't even read the words on my first tape of WAU. My everyday keychain is a Legacy of Brutality housed in plastic. Plus, i don't play any off my original 7"s or color vinyl so there!?! But this is my opinion which i usually don't find the need to plast everyone with what i like and what i do. So, i hope that the flames and bashing is over for now. I can only say that for so many people who preach to be great Misfits fans, it is so amazing to me that you can sit back and bash the man who created the songs you suposedly love in the first place.

I really think that before >you form anymore opinions you >should just go to a show. CG: i think the dude was talking about actual musical aesthetics, not ideologies or attitude that would characterize a punk band. you know, if you played short, somewhat fast songs with plenty of power and barre chording, you were a punk band. i guess the Ramones style would be the prototype. i guess you could also be really fucked up sounding and be called punk as well, but that doesn't apply here anyway, so fuck it. i don't think you can categorize a band by their lyrics - type of music is usually the basis for labelling a band. i don't think that you can get away from saying that the misfits played punk rock styled rocknroll (except EAD - that was shit). and as far as i know, hardcore is still considered a part of punk. the misfits' sound only became faster. and why does everyone insist on saying they were goth or goth-rock or whatever? no way. crap like Bauhaus is goth. simply using horror/ B movie type lyrics doesn't make a goth band. the music's gotta be all faggy sounding and eerie sounding to make it goth - like those wussies Bauhaus. the misfits pretty much played fast and catchy rocknroll punk (except for the shitty ass Earth A.D.). samhain's kinda goth i guess. maybe that Halloween II is kinda goth, but that was just some bullshit song that was an exception to what the misfits usually did. so there. james ps- pete shelley a "great" songwriter? no way, that british wanker! ha ha. and i saw a picture of the new misfits in Details (fuck off, i was just checking out the pictures of the chicks.) and the they looked even dumber than they did in 1983. do people actually think they look cool with those stupid ass costumes and goofy hair? i guess i can't blame the metalheads for liking that kinda thing. ------------------------------ Date: Wed May 22 06:38:10 1996 From: Haskin Douglas CDT Subject: Misfits tribute album?

Hi - Well, leave it to a bunch of people who don't know the ins and outs of the music *BUSINESS* to tell a band what they should or shouldn't do!!! To all of the people who think the MIsfits are being foolish or cheating the punk scene/fans/public by touring with Anthrax: How many tours have YOU done?? Who did YOU tour with?? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot...you're just a person behind a keyboard and a monitor who 1.) Has no insight on what it takes to run a successful tour and 2.) Has no gauge of the relationship between the members of the Misfits and the members of Anthrax. Well, speaking as someone who's BEEN THERE, I'm going to attempt to try to explain some of the possible reasons for this "unholy" union rather than get up on a pedestal and tell you how moronic you are or whatever. Let's say you're in a successful band who's about to start a six week tour in a couple of months. Furthermore, let's say that you are not on a major label and therefore have the option of handpicking the band that will open up for you over these six weeks. Who do you pick? Do you pick some band that maybe "sounds" like you? Do you pick a band that would draw a huge crowd without you? Do you help out a friend's band that's just getting started? What do you do? Well, almost eight times out of ten, you are going to pick a band that 1.) You will GET ALONG WITH FOR SIX WEEKS and 2.) can be relied upon to show up and play every night. Stop reading for a second and think about about how long SIX WEEKS is. That's a month and a half away from friends, family, and "home." Would you rather spend that six weeks with total strangers (and run the risk of fights and descention), or would you rather tour with people you've known for years? DUH - you pick the reliable band you've known for years. Personally, I have been involved in both scenarios - touring with strangers and touring with old friends. I've been both lucky and cursed with strangers, but everything went over smoothly when touring with friends. And these were mini-tours... Can you imagine being stuck with a bunch of pure assholes for six weeks? Hell, just watch MTV's "The Real World" a couple of times (especially the one with that bitchy black girl) and you MIGHT get a small peek into what sort of tension can mount over that long period of time. So are you guys beginning to understand this decision on the part of the Misfits yet? Let me ask you a question: who do YOU propose they tour with??? In case you need a real life example: this summer we will be touring with a band called Chaos vs. Cosmos opening up for us on every stop. We're pretty much an emo-core/"punk" band while CvC is a murder-core band in the vein of bands like Deadguy, etc. Our styles are rather different, yet the tour is going to go off without a hitch because we respect each other and get along like ham and burger (huh?). Speaking of Deadguy, was it "wrong" for them to tour with Doc Hopper (pop-punk)?? And for those of you who STILL insist that this MIsfits/Anthrax tour doesn't "fit," look at it this way: TWO BANDS WHO INFLUENCED A LOT OF PEOPLE/BANDS IN THE 80'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE A COMEBACK. There, I think that's all I can say on this issue. Thanks for reading. - Brent/SoH http://home.aol.com/Hunnysmack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 06:26:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Jim Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #180 After reading the Bible for a couple of months, I have to say that I feel as if I am reading posts to the Greatful Dead mailing list given the level of fanatacism that some of the members write. It is as if some of you have no lives besides being a fan of the Misfits. Please don't get me wrong. I think the Misfits were an awesome band, and the reincarnation of the band is a good thing. But the daily influx of setlists and comparisons to Glenn's voice (whether the lead singer is more 80's Glenn of 90's Glenn) is meaningless drivel. I can't ever go to a hardcore or punk show like a historian picking apart the performance before it even begins.... If half of you used your creative energies to write your own songs and lineup your own bands, there would be a lot more macabre bands influenced by the Misfits out there instead of this Offspring/Silverchair crap. Another thing... why do you take the Misfits' lyrics so seriously. Anybody with a couple college English courses can tell that most of the music was written with dark tounge in cheek and nothing more. Nothing to apply 90% of your mental energy to. In light of my caustic comments I have to admit my own fanatic bit of weakness. The only live music I can count on here in Fort Lauderdale is the occaisonal show by local heroes Marilyn Manson. Therefore, I almost flew to Albany, NY just to see a Murphy's Law show. Thankfully I checked myself before I wrecked myself and hopped aboard that VALUJET!!!

To clear this up if Mark approves I'll send a screen capture of Slim Whitman from one of my Beavis and Butthead recordings. He looks like satan, just like b&b say and his music is really terrible-yodeling music aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! As for the Misfits being a tribute band-ARE YOU FUCKING TRIPPING OR WHAT??? Original band members don't play in tribute bands and even if they did I beleive that if half of the old lineup is there than it is the same band. As for tribute bands for the misfits maybe the Ninjas are tribute but the Misfits that are out there now-FUCK YOU THEY ARE THE MISFITS NOT FAKES NOT WANNABES SO FUCKING DROP THIS MISFITS/NOT THE MISFITS ARGUMENT. If you don't fucking like it go listen to another band because you don't like them as they are and will be so take it or leave it but quit cluttering my hard drive with your bitching like little old ladies with nothing better to do. One more idea that just popped into my head is a cool tour idea. 2 headliners The Misfits and the Undead. I know it sounds strange but a show that is advertised as a Misfits .vs The Undead would be pretty cool. This way we could see who outplays who and maybe this argument would be solved. Well I've wasted enough space bitching. Lets grow up a little kids, the Misfits are who they are and were who they are and none of us will change that-plain and simple.

They were generally considered "uncool" by the punker than thou types at CBGB and the Mudd Club. Bullshit, say i, but that is what the GENERAL consensus was.

I was just hoping someone could confirm a few things for me and maybe answer some questions. I am from Philly and me and a friend are traveling to Allentown to see the Misfits at the Starz club. It is the first date of the "ressurection" tour with Anthrax. Now I heard this was a co-headlining bill. I was wondering if anyone knew who was going on first? Needless to say if the Misfits were to go on first we wouldn't be staying for Anthrax. No offense to them guys but I don't think I could sit through anyone else's set after seeing the Misfits. Anyway I saw them when they headlined in Philly and they were incredible. I am hoping they will have a nice long set. If anyone knows anything about this tour at all then let me know what's up.

Here's what I know about SLim Whitman. He was HUGE in Europe in the late 50's / early 60's - as big as Elvis (not that Costello guy). You're probably too young to remember this, but Elvis never played Europe and Slim never played the U.S. of A.. Why? Because their manager; that's right manager (in the singular) didn't want one stepping on the others toes commercially. Tom Parker represented both of the superstars, and for some reason thought that it would dilute his earnings if his two acts were to cross paths. Slim Whitman was never even heard of in the U.S., until K-TEL released his greatest hits package in the early 80's. Now Slim tours Europe on a regular basis, but his following has dwindled. seems his old fans don't like the way he's "metallized" his old songs. ------------------------------ From: Bile666@aol.com Date: Thu, 23 May 1996 09:53:35 -0400 Subject: Manimals I got "Blood Is The Harvest" in the mail this week and I must agree with others that it is a very cool album. The music is good and I like the whole image of the band. I'd seen it in a record store near me before I heard about them on the Bible and was a little turned off because of their Kiss-type look. But once I heard about them from Mark, I decided to give them a try and I'm glad I did. Larry the Wolf sounds a bit like Paul Stanley (to my ear) in the vocal area. I was also happy to see that the album sleeve not only contained photos of the band but also the lyrics to all the songs. After buying reprints of the different Misfits records that didn't have any pictures let alone lyrics, it was a nice surprise. In the pictures, the band wore those furry ski boots that look like they came off the Abominable Snowman. Hopefully sometime in the future they'll be able to open for the Misfits somewhere, not just Larry joining them onstage for a song or two. I'd like to see their whole set. Larry also sent me a packet of old flyers with photos from old horror films like "The Wolfman" and "The Tower of London". He also sent me photocopies of pictures from the 5/12 Cleveland show. Anyway, it's a very cool album and they are an equally cool band. Before I go, I'd just like to say that although I think Anthrax is horrible nowadays, there was a time when they were a really great band. "Among the Living" and "State of Euphoria" are still fine albums. Although they seem to be taking themselves very seriously these days, I'm glad to see that they'll be playing with the Misfits ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 May 1996 01:58:36 -0400 (EDT) From: Brett Fama Subject: whoops...sorry > From: Bad Ninja > Subject: Fama's Bible > > Brett, could you please elaborate on your last bible...oops, I mean post ? yeah, sorry about that, all of you. actually that "post" was originally sent for *Mark's* personal e-mail, so I wasn't thinking about taking up Bible-space at all.

First > off realize that I NEVER called Glenzig a bad songwriter. I called him a > mediocre songwriter. Mediocre, meaning he was OK, not bad, but not god's hmm, CG, I'm a bit confused: you say Glenn's good at matching words to a song, making him (somehow) a "mediocre songwriter." But even as you distinguish between the talent of songwriting (words + song) and the talent of poetry (just words), you seem to judge Glenn by the latter, when writing "words-only" was never his intention. Sure, some of his lyrics will sound stupid if you just open the lyric-book and read them. Try sitting down (without the music playing in the background) and reading aloud "Twist of Cain oh, yeah, drives my brain oh" and you'll see what I mean. But the lyrics *to the song* are great nonethelesss. And I seriously doubt Glenn ever intended for the words to be read without the music. Another example: when I was in grade 9 I wrote some stupid poem in English class, and the teacher liked it. Later I tried writing a few songs, but I just couldn't do it without music (which I can't write) so the words I had were no good (because I had written them intending for them to be complemented with music). I found that every time I tried to write a lyrics, they'd come out fitting the tune of some Danzig song. I may have been somewhat-okay writing poems, but would any band want to play my songs? > If I have to come up with a few incredible songsmiths I'd have to say: (I'll dispense with a rerun of your list) so are they good songwriters, or good poets? (or both?) Actually, I do think there are some Danzig lyrics that could stand on their own without the music; the first that comes to mind is "Snakes of Christ." Certainly it wouldn't be the best poem ever (but you're never gonna find me a better song this side of Lucifuge...although I have no doubt you'll disagree with me there). well CG, I'm interested to see what you have to say...this is the first time I've posted to you in quite a while (I was gonna blast you for the way you blasted EVB, but then you sorta blasted yourself first, so I figured, why beat a dead horse?). > From: TES777 > well this is the last call for the birthdays.

Hey All~ I had the pleasure of seeing Eerie Von's new band, BIGHOUSE, last Friday evening. This was my second time seeing them perform and this time I even caught a few song titles (I think :) ). My favorites so far are "Big Daddy" and something called, I think, "Rock and Roll". I even went out the next day and bought a Willie Dixon cd after hearing their version of one of the songs. Everybody...THESE THREE GUYS KICK SOME SERIOUS BUTT!!! If you have the chance, go see them next time they play, I guarantee you won't be disapointed! The sound is very heavy and bluesy, almost Allman Brothers like at times. They even did a cover of "I'm the One"! I really cannot wait 'till they put out an album of this stuff, so I can play it constantly (hint, hint) ha ha ha! When they do, they're gonna be huge..go see 'em now while you can see them in a club! (Do you think I;d drive 5 hours one way if they sucked??...no way man, these guys are really good!! I also got to meet alot of cool people there. Liz was on hand with a friend (very cool horses guys!) and a few others that were there last time also that I missed before. Also, got to see some people that I had met last time. Really great night! DON'T FORGET!! Eerie's new album with Mike Morantz "UNEASY LISTENING" is coming out, I think, JULY 2!! So, cool new stuff! If you did;nt hear it on the hotline awhile ago...well, you missed out :P..just kidding...it's really cool...listen to it with the lights out. ALso, the cover art is really cool. So don't forget :) (or you'll be forced to hear more incessant babbling from moi on how great it is...hahahaha!) Last, but certainly not least....Mary and Eerie you are the coolest! Great to see you both again!

To CG: In response to Thomas Lowe's recent post you said: "As far as Glenn being more 'Integral' than Jerry, that's a big crock of shit..." Also, "As far as putting a great importance on Glenn's voice....That's laughable..." Recently, TES777 said "It seems to me that lately during the tour a lot of you have formed some negative attitude about Glenn. He doesn't live up to your standards anymore. He's not as good as Michale. He wouldn't have amounted to anything if it wasn't for Jerry. WHAT A FUCKING JOKE." You responded by saying, "Just because you disagree with something doesn't make the whole concept a 'Fucking Joke." I realize that you have liked the band for a long time, but for you to say something along these lines is real immature sounding..." Hmm, what's the difference between her opinion that's something is a "FUCKING JOKE" and your opinion that something is a "crock of shit" or "laughable." Sounds to me as if the pot is calling the kettle black. As you recently told Bobby Steele, "I hate to use your own words against you..." Why is it that when people disagree with you they're either "kids" "groupies" or folks whose opinions "stink of emotion" ??? BTW, I agree with Thomas Lowe & TES777.

I'm just wondering, has anybody heard about their upcoming >album "October's Fall?" (I think that's the name). > Shifter The new Type O Negative Album is called "October Rust" and it has been tentatively scheduled for release on August 13/96. For those of you who aren't looking at a calender, it's a Tuesday not a Friday. Oh well, better to release it on the 13th if you can't do it on Friday the 13th. As well, if there are any SLAYER fans on the bible, their new album "Undisputed Attitude" will be released on May 28th/96. This album features brand new songs written by slayer (about 4 of them), but the remaining ten songs are cover tunes of their favorite "punk" bands like Minor Threat, etc. Unfortunately, there are no Misfits covers...they didn't want to bother Glenn (probably, just didn't want to go through a lot of bullshit). For those interested, the american recordings homepage has a whole page concerning the new slayer release and there's a Type O Negative page out there, I don't know the address, but use the "net search" and you'll probably find it. And last, I just got the new Metallica single "Until It Sleeps" yesterday. I'm hurt, one of the best bands out there has gone soft. Don't get me wrong, the song is good, but I was severly hoping that there new album "Load", (June 4/96) would be a return to the style of "Master of Puppets" or "Ride the Lightening", but alas it's looking to be like Metallica's "Black" album. This is terrible. First, Iron Maiden, then Megadeth, then Anthrax, now Metallica. Aside from Slayer (who still thrash), the greats are dying. Thank God the Misfits are back or I'd be going crazy - I just hope to God that they never go soft or alternative...like Metallica! ------------------------------ From: NghtMary@aol.com Date: Fri, 24 May 1996 17:43:22 -0400 Subject: New Rave...

By far the best that the Misfits have ever done. I don't care nearly as much for Legacy or Static Age stuff , WAU is great but nothing compares to EAD. It's one of those LPs for me, like the best Dwarves or Dead Kennedys, that you can play every day for 20 years and never get sick of. I wouldn't be the fan that I am if it was not for EAD.

(Read this like Marlon Brando) And this is how you treat me, with no respect. Honestly, I couldn't tell you the last time Glenn Danzig took a shite. But seeing as he won't even talk about the Misfits, it seemed a reasonable assumption that he would never go to a show. But that's beside the point. I was just illustrating that I had made a slightly informed opinion. I went and saw the New Misfits with more than an open mind (I was totally amped) and I decided I did not like what I saw. But I did go see them and that was the point. I made my opinion, Glenn Danzig can make any opinion he wants. Was I upset? Yes, but not at just the CG. Well I'm glad you sorted out your differences with the CG. You must feel special. He's a very inportant person on the list. Good. I'm glad you're above debating here on the bible. I, on the other hand, cannot control myself and I, personally, ruined the last umpteen bibles. I am so foolish I think I will go wallow in my own stupidity. Funny that, there is no correspondence between the CG and Myself in 182. Hmmmmm. What's your point in not flaming the CG, but going after myself and Yannis? It seems...well....pointless.

It's a live Misfits recording entitled Al's Bar 82. Tracks include: Nike--20 Eyes--Attitude--Bullet--All Hell Breaks Loose--Where Eagles Dare--Mommy...--London Dungeon--We Bite--Last Caress--Horror Hotel--Horror Business--Ghouls Night Out--Halloween--Hate Breeders (cuts out near end)--Skulls--Vampira--Teenagers--Martian--Demonomania--Devis' Whorehouse The quality is close to that of Evillive, and the back cover has Fiend Club on the lower right corner. Was this put out by the club, is it a boot of a release put out by the club, or is it a boot that used the club logo illegally? Also, if anyone knows what this is worth, I would like to know.

I think you are missing the point here, the misfits lyrics are an entity of its own.. I have never anything like them they are special cause they are dark in a funny way, so you kind of have the right idea. I think the big argument was if it was hard to write like that. Sure the lyrics seem simple, but if you ever try to write stuff like Glenn did (and Im sure if anyone has ever been in a band they have tried!) , you cant. You can only skim the surface, Glenns lyrics are unique which is why they are so cool. >In light of my caustic comments I have to admit my own fanatic bit of >weakness.

I was looking through some back issues of the bible and saw some questions as to the origin of Ratt Fink, and who Alan Sherman was, so just incase anyones still wondering I'll offer my expertise... Think o fAlan Sherman as a big fat version of Wierd Al Yankovic, only funnier, and from the 60's. He did parodies of popular songs, but is most well known for doing "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh", the message from camp song. Ratt Fink on Alan Sherman's 1962 release "My Son The Nut" is identified as a parody of "Rag Mop". I first got My Son The Nut at the age of 10 from my Mom, while visiting my grandparents house, and was kind of suprised to hear it being covered by the misfits. :) Don't flame me too much if this has already been stated, but I'm just tryin to help. :) I've not been able to get out to see any of the new shows, but I guess it's kind of a good thing considering what I heard about the detroit show. As for the 'fits touring with Anthrax.. I was a bit thrown when I first heard that, but who cares.. sure Anthrax is basically a cheesey washed out heavy metal band, but the 'fits have the right to tour with whoever they want too - and I'm sure Anthrax of all bands isn't going to draw a cheesey crowd of 11 year olds that doesn't know whats going on.. because Anthrax just isn't big and popular, because esentially heavy metal is dead. It's 1996, not '86. :) With or without Glenn I'd love to see the Misfits - Hell, Deep Purple didn't have the same lineup for any of their albums and they were still Deep Purple. Even if Glenn WAS an integral part of the band, if Glenn doesn't want anything to do with it then what can you do? Everyone would love to see Glenn back, but you can't MAKE him like Jerry or make Jerry like him. Maybe when they're both about 70 they'll get over this nonsense and everyone will be friends again. I'd love to see the Undead too, them being one of my favorite bands.. so Bobby, if you ever become a rock star and start playing stadiums, remmeber to get out somewhere in Michigan.. we think you're Fucking GREAT! :) Well at least myself and my friends do. :) Matt A.K.A Voodoo Child Weaker Youth v_child on the IRC matt138@godzilla.novasys.com 'fuckin people that I see always fuckin' starin at me' -The Undead ------------------------------ From: Bile666@aol.com Date: Sun, 26 May 1996 17:02:04 -0400 Subject: 6/27 I was at the Gwar show last night at the Stone Pony (which was a blast) and they announced that The Misfits and Anthrax will be playing at the Asbury Park Convention Hall on June 27th. This is weird because it was announced on the Bible that on that same night they're supposed to be playing at the Roselands. They can't be in two places at one so one of them has to be right. I called Ticketmaster to find out when tickets go on sale and they said either the 30th or the 31st (next week) and said that it was a Cannibal Corpse/Misfits show. There was no mention of Anthrax. So I have no idea what's going on. Either way, if they're at the Roselands or Asbury Park (hopefully the Roselands since it's a much nicer place), I'll be seeing them on the 27th. Also, I have a lead on a video of the Stone Pony show two weeks ago. The guy (who was behind me filming the Gwar show) said he had the whole show on tape (almost 2 hours of footage). So I'll let you all know if I get a hold of it. It was a great show. They played "Theme for a Jackal", which they apparently don't play everywhere. I asked him if he had the Cleveland show which sounded like a blast, what with Larry from the Manimals joining the stage, but he said he didn't have it. Anyway ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ From: Jer138@aol.com Date: Sun, 26 May 1996 18:17:42 -0400 Subject: GWAR Hey- I saw gwar on sat. at the stone pony and it was a nuts show but anyway, before the show they were playing misfits cd's, and for the encoures(s.p.), GWAR came out w/out their gear on, and their singer, odorus urungas(s.p.) was wearing a legacy of b. shirt. just thought I'd let everyone in on my amazing findings:) jer138 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 May 1996 02:49:13 -0700 (MST) From: Ben Todd Subject: Minor 'Fits "sighting," observances, and DETAILS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FROM THE FORBIDDEN ZONE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Hey Gang!! What the fuck is up? I hope y'all are just dandy. OK, now for the goods. I watched a really shitty movie last night, "Empire Records." It was a wannabe John Hughes movie. About the only redeeming quality was Steven Tyler's beautiful love spawn, Liv. Also, at the end, the kids are talking about cool bands and one of the guys starts talking about the Misfits. Then this other shithead says, "Yeah, but the Misfits have nothin' on Primus," or something, then, "Out with the old, in with new." Someone should blacklist his dumbass from ever acting, or the writer or whoever. Primus is alright, and they may be musically more skilled, and they are slightly amusing, but novelty wears off. I'd much rather listen to the testosterone-pumping aggro hell-noise of the Misfits. The Misfits have heart, they have passion!!! "Grandad's Little Diddy" just kinda gets old. Granted, the 'Fits have zombies and vampires and Martians, but "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver"? C'mon... (If ya dig the Primus fellas, please don't flame me, it's really not worth the wasted space, is it?) In other news, here's an observation my non-Fiend roommate made. He, who doesn't really listen top the 'Fits, unless subjected to them by me, said: "I dunno, the Misfits aren't the Misfits without Danzig." Take that as you will. Also, on that note, to the guy who said he saw the new Misfits in the new DETAILS magazine: What the fuck page? And yet another question for those sages more knowledgable than I: Danzig is not really Glenn's real last name, right? It's something with an "A," right? So where'd he get the name Danzig? I told my roommate it's a city in Poland or Germany, depending on what year map you're looking at. Sorry if this info is on the Web page, but i have limited access to it as my computer gets fuct when I try to get to it.

Subject: Bible shit, and beyond... To all the fiendies - as you know yesterday was it for the birthdays and i sent the last of them in to Pat. Though do be warned i will come up with some unusual stuff for all the stranded summer fiends that will be here. Thank you for replying and getting involved, cause this is going to be one hell of a calendar. To - Brent nice point on the band thing, i lived with this one person during college that drove me nuts and that was for 6 months. Though you should not underestimate the members here on what they know or what they do. Check out the Get to Know You Issue and you will see that there is a lot of people in bands or other parts of the music industry. Jim - that was a funny with the bit about running to NY to see the show and ValueJet, though it was Atlanta they were going to. Which if you fiendies did not hear they found the Cockpit voice recorder today. How i will never know being that the weather here in Miami was at its usual worst for this time a year. The Misfits will probably have a wonderful wet time when they get to MiamiBeach. Also one other bit, i did get some replies from people who get the bible but don't post. This goes out to all of you non posters, you are a Bible Member even if you don't post which means you *CAN* participate in all the things that go on here. I know from Mark there are 700 + members that read this 3 times a week. So please, if you don't want to post that's cool but that does not exclude you from being involved with what we do. Till next time and don't get to relaxed cause you know i will come up with something else soon.

They had Tura Satana, star of Astro Zombies on it - I just found that a little interesting, but unfortunately Astro Zombies wasn't shown, and on top of that my local video rental place didn't have it's one copy of Plan 9 in.. shot my sunday night. All you guys that got to see Gwar are a lucky bunch of motherfuckers. :) I've had the misfortune of missing Gwar last year and this year, though I thought TTE was a sucky album, I kind of had my heart set on seeing them on the Ragnarok tour.. anyone notice that this one didn't get hyped ast all as much as the last one, possibly because of the strong anti-religion/govt. message that was absent in TTE? Benito - I agree about Primus.. of course Les Claypool is talented, but they just don't have what the misfits have.. there's not even a comparison. Especially not on their last few albums.. the only Primus discs that I purchased and really enjoy are Suck on This and Frizzle Fry. Primus does get the prize for being the OTHER band that i've seen release stuff on Caroline. :) As for your roomates comment aboutit not being the Misfits without Glenn, I'd like to see Glenn back, it's not gonna happen. Might as well accept Michale as the current singer of the Misfits, rather then Glenns replacement, even though Glenn WAS the best, he obviously doesn't give a rip, he just wants the whole thing in the past.. Michale's pretty courageous puttin himself up for all of this critiscism if ya ask me.. fiends are a rowdy bunch. :) D-Rod - Maybe you overreacted a little to that guys message about us all being fanatics, but I agree with you - Hell, this list is to talk about The fucking Misfits and related bands.. if it bugs him so much to see people talking about how they love the fits, he's obviously in the wrong place. :) And in a misfits related act of sweetness, I was out a few weeks back at Taco Bell eating with my friends, sporting my happenin' new glow in the dark misfits T (I can't find one with just the Crimson Ghost, dammit!) when I saw a little girl clutching her mother. I looked over and her mom said "Your shirt is scary to her." - FUCK YEAH! Btw, anyone actually purchasing those new Captain harlock shirts? I've been kickin around the idea, but considering i've never read Captain Harlock I'd feel kinda guilty.. Then again I've read plenty of Hate, Eightball, Crap and Peepshow in my day so maybe it makes up for it. Also, whoever posted something about Superninjas a while back, I remmeber seeing that movie on USA a long ass time ago and thinking it just rocked the shit, and never found a copy of it anywhere. The kind with ninjas of all different colors with different tricks, right? Do you have an adress in the states where I could order that from or something? Or at least a little info on when it was made and by who. :) Matt A.K.A Voodoo Child Weaker Youth v_child on the IRC matt138@godzilla.novasys.com 'fuckin people that I see always fuckin' starin at me' -The Undead ------------------------------ From: EvilDieff@aol.com Date: Mon, 27 May 1996 16:52:32 -0400 Subject: lyrics etc. i didn't mean the beach boys weren't good,not my cup of tea but a good band. some of their stuff is okay, but i what i meant was their lyrics weren't exactly poetry. slayer not doing a misfits song? oh, no!!! i think it's cool to hear some bands do other peoples music, but i just can't see slayer doing a misfits song. or a minor threat song either. wonder why they're doing stuff by their favorite "punk" bands? anyway.

Everyone is entitled to there opinion so let them have it. Who cares if the Misfits maybe becoming metal. They are still the Misfits! The biggest problem is we have become used to all this new school crappy punk, therefore we hear them as metal now because we are basing them on new school standards. Yes, they would be metal though if they came out now instead of the so long ago when they did. Also another reason they may sound alot more like metal is the HUGE improvements in technology. So who cares if they sound a little bit different you should continue to support them.

Brian plays every instrument you can think of INCLUDING A >KITCHEN SINK! Tanks Rob! It's good to know that some people know there ass from the kitchen sink when it comes to music. Pet sounds was incredibly before it's time, Brian Wilson *is* a genius. I was hoping someone else would pick up on Don's uninformed comments. Could every rock critic that ever was be wrong about Brian Wilson? It's strange that he's considered one of the all time greats if his music is so shitty, isn't it? I just wonder why Don chose to pick on "Surf City" it has all the makings of a great tune. Like the Denmother & I like to say it passes the ramones test therefore it's good music. Basically the Ramones test is thus: If the Ramones could cover it and make it a great punk tune, then it's a good tune period. Besides what's better than going to a beach where you're sure to get laid?? it's fucking fun music! Music dosn't have to be all fucking dark and mysterious to be great. The beach boys were a ground breaking band, and without them and other pop bands like them punk as we know it wouldn't have existed. Before anyone thinks of flaming me on this, think twice, this thread should die with this post. Not because I want the last word, but because there's nothing of redeeming value to this list to add to it. It started out concerning Glenn and has turned into something else.

Too easy, too cheap... --I'm not here to defend Rollins or anybody else (as I've stated in the past...). I don't worship him or anything remotely close to that. I RESPECT him though.-- Ok, this particular quote refers to specific people that Rollins thought had no place in the Flag's gigs for many reasons... are these reasons right/wrong? I don't know? Is that what he *thought* about them? YES...so that's ok by me, he's true to himself. You know, he's done things that I've questioned strongly (ads, movies, etc) but the bottom line is: If he can use all the attention and money he gets for doing things he BELIEVES in, I'm with him all the way. I just hope that you have some new arguments about him, not the ones that have already been beat to death! Sorry about taking up space for non-Misfits related stuff...

Oh don't get to relaxed cause the wheels are already turninig on what i might come up with next. To John Greenwell the name of the Movie you are talking about is Angry Red Planet, and the creature was called the Rat-Bat-Spider which was said to be 40' high, crab like legs with pincers, yet spider like to support a rat like body with the head of a bat. The movie was from 1959 - American International Pictures . To Aaron Proctor i was never trying to flame you or Yannis ( who i remember said something to the effect to support Rollin and i figured to be nice and let Yan know that he was touring with Ozzy if you see that as a flame you've lost it) I never had anything against your opinion and i even said don't take this the wrong way. Glenn had never given me the impression that he did not want to talk about the Misfits or his past. He seemed cool with it when we sat and talked about it, though most people who interview him ask dumb ass questions that piss him off. He is very happy to look at the original Misfits records and reminisce about the old days to an extent. I never said i was above debating on the bible, i see no point into flaming anyone over a misunderstanding. Plus you have no right to give me crap about the way i handle *my problems or arguements* This has nothing to do with ruining the bible either. I just see flaming people as a waste of space. Plus wasting Mark's time which he usually has very little of. It's a shit to put an issue of the bible together. See i did the one for the Get to Know You issue and it does take a lot of time. By the way i don't start arguements with anyone. Which means i didn't start an arguement with you!?! That is enough of that. later to all the fiendies...

(knew i'd fit him in somewhere.) and glenn didn't rip that skull off from geiger. yannis: i never said glenn was the misfits, obviously he couldn't be a whole band. but as far as important members, if you put the sound of the misfits aside glenn is the alpha and omega. he wrote the music that the band performed, so, now ask yourself, how important is the misfits music? would you listen to them if the songs sucked but you could still hear jerry's bass all the time? not a flame so take it easy. we're all here because we all like the misfits (if not samhain and danzig too). we can diagree and argue but let's all try not to get so personal. something many of us, myself included, have been guilty of.

WRONG! Let's get this straight everyone: The Misfits are NOT on a major label. Caroline has the right to distribute and sell OLD Misfits albums and material, but they are NOT the label that will put out future releases. This means that the Misfits do not receive ANY promotion or financial support for tours, promotional appearances, or recordings from Caroline. That has nothing to do with the issue of whether or not Caroline's a major label anyway.... sure they're owned by a major label, but they haven't changed much as far as distribution and $ is concerned, since they were purchased by that label. Just ask some of the employees. mark ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 May 1996 09:40:59 -0700 (PDT) From: "Neil E. McAllister" Subject: Misfits are scary Someone in the last Bible posted about how they were at Taco Bell and their glow in the dark Misfits shirt scared somebody's kid. Well, I got one better than that... one day when I was in high school, I was walking around with my hair all hung down into my face with vaseline in a big devilock, all black clothes and my usual sunken eyes. Me and my friends walked into a Round Table Pizza, and I got about ten steps into the place, paused at the desk where you order your food, and noticed this little boy staring at me. I thought he was looking at me kinda funny, so I sorta looked back at him to see what he was going to say, or whatever -- not threateningly at all, so far as I know. And after about a 5 second pause while we looked at each other, the kid just burst into tears, I mean his face just broke open and he was screaming and bawling in the middle of Round Table Pizza. My friends, on the other hand, thought it was hilarious and just fell on the floor laughing. The kids mom turns to the kid and says, "Don't worry son, he's just being an INDIVIDUAL." Which we all thought was even more riotously funny, and eventually we had to leave the place because we couldn't even order our food we were laughing so much! Oh well, I guess we were just a buncha jerks. P.S. Howdy to Joe @ the Record Finder in S.F. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 May 1996 12:29:03 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: Yannis, Yannis, Shifter (Heavy Sigh) Hey Yannis - nice to know that you're as frisky as ever over there. Okay, yeah - I KNOW I'm not the only one who has toured and been involved with touring. I just assumed that those who have toured before wouldn't be criticizing the Misfits' choice of touring mates. I also assumed that those who did criticize had no prior knowledge of how much it takes to put on a tour - WHICH IS WHY I "OVERSIMPLIFIED" things. If you wanted me to really write out what goes on with booking a tour, it would have to come out in encyclopedia format...you know this. The Misfits and the "Major Label" - yes, I also know that Caroline is subsidized by a much larger company pulling the strings. I mentioned this many, many bibles ago. Still, the point I tried to make was that the Misfits weren't trapped like other major label bands in the sense that they DO have a say-so in who they tour with. Okay? As for Anthrax being "influencial" - first off, I don't like Anthrax and have never owned anything by them, etc. I know you live overseas Yannis, but if you were here in the mid-80's, it was TOUGH to go to any public place and not see an Anthrax back patch, T-shirt, or sticker, whatever. THIS is what I mean by "influential." Yes, you'd be hard-pressed to find a band that cites Anthrax as an influence...but again, go back and time and think about all of the cheesy garage bands that were never heard, yet they were there (TRYING to play those metal riffs) because of bands like Anthrax and Metallica, etc. Clear? I think that addresses most of your criticisms...always nice to clarify myself! To "Shifter" - The CD comp you got was released last year and the first run was 69,000 copies. Umm...the Misfits have been on Caroline for many, many years - I realize you may not have known this. Ooops, another glaring error - the band is not called "S/T"... The band's name is Texas is the Reason and "S/T" has and always will stand for "Self Titled." Hope that helps. Here's a related sales pitch - Texas is the Reason has a full length out now on Rev - buy it, and then come see them on tour with my band and Chamberlain in the fall (if you live in the N.E. corner of the map). In the meantime, check out Texas is the Reason on tour with Sense Field this summer, us with Chaos vs. Cosmos opening up in August, and Chamberlain should they ever come to your town. We will also be playing a mini-tour with Frodus (DC SpazzCore) in the fall. Get your butt off the couch and check out a show. Thanks - Brent/ SoH ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 May 1996 19:56:12 +0100 Subject: Shifter's remarks From: Necroerotic Cyberchrist I rather think Shifter is too quick to condemn Metallica's new sound. I too was disappointed by the black album (the final straw was hearing Nothing Else Matters played by the same people who'd so quickly dismissed Metallica as noise before), and looked forward to a return to the old style with Load, but since the fifth release I've come to terms with the new sound, and realised any band must be dynamic and continue to progress and mature with time. Having said that, I do think Metallica have gone downhill in many ways since the death of Cliff Burton after Master of Puppets. Anyway, let's wait til next week and then decide. Another thing is that, of all the bands you mentioned (Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax etc.) the only one that has really lost their touch is Slayer. In their determination not to go soft, they have become ridiculously over-thrashy - at least the others still sound convincing. Anyway, as a recent subscriber I think it's great to see metal kept alive. My motto has always been: Thrash, Junk, Fuck! See youse.

YOU (cg) brought up lyrics like poetry. not me. everyone who just loves crimson ghost should actually read this. cg you're opinion is no better than mine. maybe you contributed alot in the earlier days of the bible but now you're nothing more than anyone else. what info have you provided on anything related to them lately that nobody else knows? and anybody who thinks this is no pertinent read on. i should never have had to defend glenn danzig's songwriting ablities! if he wasn't a good songwriter none of you would be here reading or scrolling on! think about it! we're talking about a rock band as far as i know a rock band combines music and most of the time lyrics to make a song. cg said glenn did this well. so he proved that glenn is a good rock songwriter. that's all i have to say about this. if anybody wants to flame me do it personal e-mail please. remember this wasn't a personal attack against cg or anyone. just a responce to a meesage that said i didn't know my ass from the kitchen sink. man i sure wish i learned how to play that instrument!

I guess for the same reason interviews with Jerry usually have some kind of 'BOBBY slag' added to it: I DON'T KNOW. That's the problem. I can't figure out what I could've done to make them hate me so much. According to Jerry, it never happened. I guess some people got together, staged a phony MISFITS show and had soundalikes just rant on about how much they hated me. As far as the line about being a 'homosexual' - just some wishfull thinking out loud, maybe. I'm still looking for a band. I'm only willing to deal with people who live in New York City. The reason is that rehearsal time costs about $22.00 an hour and I'm tired of out-of-towners showing up an hour late because they didn't anticipate the traffic snarls at the bridges and tunnels. Of course, this might change if I run into some good money and can rent a house for several months - to live and rehearse in. If you're interested, and this goes for anyone else who's interested; send a tape, photo, and equipment list to POST MORTEM RECORDS, P.O. BOX 358, New Milford, NJ 07646. Be sure to let me know where I can hear you singing and which songs were written by you. You must sing and should be able to write good enough to contribute at least one song per CD. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 May 1996 23:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Subject: anthrax/misfits, etc it amazes me how much you people complain about the misfits touring with antrax. the misfits are becoming metal...la la la. and yet i don't think i've read a word about the misfits becoming a death band because they're touring with Cannibal Corpse. haven't you ever seen odd touring combinations? Beck and Johnny Cash? Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies (w/ Danzig in between)? NIN and David Bowie? Depeche Mode, Stabbing Westward, and Primal Scream? if it bothers you that fucking much, don't go. side notes: Why did Slayer put out an album of punk covers? they were probably bored. Metal didn't die with the 80's. Anthrax has been a staple of the metal scene for years (though i will admit that they haven't been very influential recently). there's nothing wrong with the misfits touring with Anthrax. if i recall correctly (and if whoever originally said so it accurate), Anthrax asked the misfits to join the tour.

I can't wait to see Jerry and Doyle next month but Graves has to go. I have been a fits' fan for about 8 years now and I would of never thought of this happening. It's cool that I will finally be able to see the fits' but it ain't the fits' without the person who gave them thier base of who they are and what they have done. In my opinion if they were gonna have a so called return they should have waited till they could get G.D. Believe me he ain't gonna hang with Danzig without Eerie, John, and Chuck but if you look at it in a differant perspective If Glenn was still in the fits' he couldn't hang without Jerry. So think about it, The misfits aren't the misfits just because there back touring and have a new singer and songs and shit so all you new wave of fiends should realize this go listen to the box-set that's the misfits all of this new shit thats coming out its not the fits'. They shoud change their name now because I know the sound is gone. The fits' were the ideas of two young punks in the late 70's that made music before it's time and had a sound to hard and fast for most listeners, they wrote great in your face out with the throat lyrics that will NEVER be challenged by no one. So when a 20 year kid comes in to a band that has been gone for 13 long years and is missing their secret ingredient and thinks he's gonna have a career of singing some of the best original music ever made that he was even to young to hear or see thats a joke and a disgrace to the band and to the misfits name. All I can say is that Jerry's greed has again made a big fuck up in the band, so if anyone wants to call G.D. greedy they better think again because he ain't the one going out and trying to bring something back that he knows died a long time ago, Jerry just wants the money isn't that ovious his other project sucked balls without Glenn but with Glenn they are the best you can get. Here's a great idea why don't we drop Doyle he doesn't play worth a shit believe me listen to any live album or even Walk Among Us and compare his work to Bobby Steele's no comparison Bobby kicks his ass, but then again this is another example of Jerry's greed that backfired. Replace chud with Googy and of course I think you know the ovious replacement. So with Glenn, Jerry, Bobby, and Googy it would be set the reunion tour this is how it should of been all the best fits' together one more time and then just let it go. What Eerie wrote in the box-set was perfect The music the same as it was then it's just in a coffin now thats perfect and sums up everything.

She said it was a really good version. So the possibility of them contributing a track to the Misfits tribute album is pretty good. I don't know what song the E.L.C. could cover. They've done really great covers of "Bela Lugosi's Dead", "Highway to Hell", and the "Halloween" theme song but that's a different story. I guess we'll all have to wait and see. Onto another topic, I have to defend "Earth AD". While it might not be a "Walk Among Us", it still has some very kick ass songs, songs like "Queen Wasp", "Bloodfeast" (one of my personal favorites), and "We Bite". Most of the songs might not be as melodic as others (they're more brutal and fast) but what they lack in "finese" they make up for with aggression.

The Roselands isn't on the 27th, as was previously announced. The Asbury Park show must then be on the 27th. At the Stone Pony they said the Misfits/Anthrax show was going to be at the Asbury Park Convention Hall, not the Stone Pony itself. The Roselands show is a Misfits/Cannibal Corpse show (I'm assuming the Misfits are the main act). I just wanted to clear things up for all of you who wanted to buy tickets for yourselves. Tickets to the Roselands show went on sale this morning at 10. I'm assuming that the tickets to the Asbury Park show went on sale yesterday or today as well. Anyway, tickets are a bit more pricey for this show than the other ones (I paid about $13 or so for the Stone Pony tickets and the Roselands tickets were $17.50 a piece). I also ordered the video I'd posted about of the Stone Pony show. I'll let you all know how it is when I get it.

Next the artists out that are part of the bible will discuss and work on the designs. The designs are shown on the web page and one is picked. The rest is up to Jerry and the guys to take care of. Yet we have to get to the point that we are ready for press. You have one week to answer the questions not like the birthdays and the Get to know you. You want to be involved than move your asses. 1) Short sleeves or Long sleeves? 2) Image, what should it look like( the picture ) 3) should the picture go on back or front. 4) what should the text be (writing info) 5) our own logo for the bible, what should it say and look like. that is it, make it brief, and as far as color that i think should be black and white, color will get to expensive and i don't know if the Misfits will go for that. So let's get cracking only ***1 WEEK***. Send answers to me, if you don't know the e-mail address it's tes777@bridge.net Also if you are an artist please let me know. Later fiendies.

New Tape idea ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 31 May 1996 02:34:18 -0400 (EDT) From: WiCkEdKiNgWiCkEr Subject: allentown show, tribute album, moron. hey i just got back from the allentown show... sadly enough it sucked. the opening band pist-on (managed by a guy in type o neg i think) really sucked. they sounded like a cross between mettallica and poison or some other shitty hair band. anthrax was rather unimpressive. they played a couple songs i even sort of like, but they just weren't very good. the did dedicate a song to the misfits, and claimed them as an influence which i secretly supect is bullshit. anyways... b4 the misfits came on they had to set up all of there stuff except for the big misfits cabinets. so it took a long time to set up then the drum mikes weren't on and had to be checked like 10 times. michael and jerry poked their heads out a few times to entertain the crowd while they finally got the drums miked. so the misfits came on and did their usual lineup. michael's mike kept cutting in and out for most of the show and doyle broke one of his guitar heads. then at almost the end of the show michael and jerry stopped playing in the middle of green hell to stop a bunch of asshole skinheads beating the shit out of some guy. there where about 30 skins there so you know they were all being as big an asshole as they could. jerry said that he came to play cause he wanted to have fun and wasn't having fun with that shit going on. michael mentioned that 5 on 1 wasn't very fair and that its not fun to go home crying. anyways they agreed to do one more song, then the shitty club soundman cut them off and told everyone to leave cause their time was up... doyle and chud left but jerry and michael stayed a while to shake hands with everyone and appolagize for all the shit that went on. michael gave me one of doyle's picks and jerry told me when i asked about the 7" that they were still working on getting it out. another interesting thing was that they were selling misfits skateboard decks for $60, not the original ones but ones with the legacy cover on them... i wish i would have had more money. they were also selling signed box sets for $70 signed by jerry doyle and i think either robo or googy, i didn't recognise the other sig from where i was. kenny has to be the fucking busiest guy on the whole tour. he was running all over the place all night long. don't get me wrong about the show. it sucked, but the misfits gave it 100% and did the best the could (and were still better than anthrax). i found out from the genitorturers that the cd isan ac/dc tribute and the misfits are contributing a song. along with electric hellfire club pigface kmfdm and maybe type o neg. i saw the genitorturers 6 times and they never did all hell... :( usually they do ace of spades. usually i try to ignore all the bullshit that people post on here but i feel compelled to reply to danzig8525's post. you are a moron. obviously you haven't payed attention to the last hundred or so issues of the bible. you have never even heard or seen michael graves play with the misfits but he "sucks"? he is not as good as glenn obviously, but he definatly does not suck, after seeing the misfits 3 times i can say that he is a good replacement for glenn... who will most likely NEVER have anything to do with the misfits again (except collect royalty checks). maybe when you "finally [are] able to see the fits" you will be able to make an intelligent decsion about michael. the new songs definatly sound like the old material, and if you heard them and didn't know otherwise you would think glenn wrote them. i can't say the lyrics are what danzig would have written but the music is undeniably the misfits. you claim jerry is greedy, which i have yet to see any proof. yet glenn was the one who never gaveanyone else any of the money they EARNED from record sales. glenn is also the guy who payed eerie john and chuck on salary instead of giving them a percentage. its funny how you note that danzig (the band) won't be danzig without them when glenn, who is not greedy (sarcasm if you didn't realise) wouldn't even give them a fair share. i respect glenn as an artist, but i would hesitate b4 entering into a business agreement with him. You say doyle "doesn't play worth shit" but you haven't actually heard anything he's played on in over ten years. which is another brainless statement considering that he has had ten more years of practice. doyle is 10 times better then he was back in the old days, and maybe if you ever actually saw him play you would be in awe of how fast he is playing. dr. chud is also a great drummer, easily as good as googy or robo although basically you are either a good drummer or your not... there isn't a hell of a lot of difference between the three of them, playing the same songs. maybe you should get your head out of glenn's ass and learn the difference between an educated opinion and that mindless crap thats dribbling out of your mouth. btw i have nothing personal against danzig8525, i just think he's stupid. :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: Jess Cyphers Asenath WiCkEdKiNgWiCkEr cyphersj@polaris.ncs.nova.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am the ruler of an invisible empire.

Anyway, saw the allentown show last night and I have to say I was very disappointed. I saw the Stone Pony show 3 weeks ago and it was one of the best concerts ever. I was totally blown away. This time, the band didnt seem that into it, and I'll list my reasons why 1) Friggin dumb ass shaved head moron neo nazi dumb fuck asshole cock sucking SKINHEADS ruined the goddamn show. They stopped the show early, during the first encore, cause there were so many fights. At the Stone Pony, the crowd was the coolest, all Misfits fans and I got right up front without getting my spine broken. This time, forget it, it was the usual a-holes who ruin most of the good punk shows in the Lehigh Valley. The should have a sign at the door, ----------- NO MORONS ALLOWED ----------- 2) Anthrax took away from the show. Since they are a big band, they got to set their drums up on the riser and all that crap. It took the Misfits forever to come on as they had to set up the entire drum kit (and it looked cool as allways!) and mic the drums and almost do another soundcheck. I aint a big Anthrax fan so I could have done without them. You could tell at the end Jerry was pissed, cause the friggin nob-heads were ruining the show for the good bunch of fiends that showed up. I was surprised he didnt jump into the crowd and start kicking some ass. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 May 1996 15:42:54 +0100 (BST) From: Jack Subject: TAMMY....HELP Tammy, I've been trying to mail you for days but seem to be having trouble getting through on Tes77@bridgenet.net HELP ME PUT!!!!!!

While it > might not be a "Walk Among Us", it still has some very kick ass songs, songs > like "Queen Wasp", "Bloodfeast" (one of my personal favorites), and "We > Bite". Most of the songs might not be as melodic as others (they're more > brutal and fast) but what they lack in "finese" they make up for with > aggression. Anyway, that's just how I feel about it ... i'd just like to add a "me too" to this. the first time i heard wolfsblood (on the compilation) i nearly shit. the anger/rage that song exudes makes for an incredible listening experience (esp. if you catch it in the right mood). after hearing evilive and then seeing live video of the band, it was apparent that one of their goals was to capture their live sound. something i feel they accomplished. "bloodfeast" is one of my fave misfits songs (my fave from EAD). others are simply great (to me, of course). i mean really, while most of you probably don't consider these to be "true" misfits songs (whatever the hell _that_ might be), you can't deny that most of these songs kick some serious ass. then again, i like(d) anthrax, so what would i know. =~> gut-ripper <~= "guts come ripping" (thanx pat) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 May 1996 12:03:49 -0400 (EDT) From: Dave Asselin Subject: No Misfits: Beach Boys >From: EvilDieff@aol.com >hum, i don't know my ass from the kitchen sink because i've never heard brian >wilson's imfamous "pet sounds". and the beach boys must be great because ever >rock critic loves them! Er.. I have to interject here. "Pet Sounds" is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. It certainly ranks among my own personal favorites. Don, you're a musician. If you care anything about your craft, you will go out and buy this album and study it. Listen to it, and understand that it was written by a 25 year old (who was deaf in one ear), and recorded, for the most part, with a 4 track recorder. As the liner notes to PS say, recording studios now are constructed to make albums the way Brian Wilson did in '66.

Since you're the head fiend, I'm guessing that you'd be interested to hear about the first show of the RESURRECTION TOUR 96 w/ ANTHRAX. It took place at STARZ niteclub in ALLENTOWN PA. A Brooklyn band named PIST ON opened. ANTHRAX put on a surprisingly good show, playing ALOT of their older material. Now the moment we've ALL been waiting for...THE RETURN OF THE MISFITS!!! They opened w/ HALLOWEEN (big suprise) and then proceded to run a hellish path thru some of their best (but they're all the best, right?) They played for about an hour and then they took their leave. Upon returning for their encore, a fight between 10 RACIST ASSHOLE IGNORANT DICKHEAD WHITE-POWER NAZI SKIN-HEADS and 1 lowly fiend just moshing to his favorites broke out. 10 on 1. The show stopped and both JERRY and MICHALE told the jerks to stop - or they'd leave.....the fighting did'nt stop....but the MISFITS did. The lights went on, the crew came out, the band left. ALL THANKS TO A BUNCH OF JACKASS NAZIS who ruined such a special moment for alot of FIENDS. Anyway, that was the end of the concert, but I got to shake JERRY's and MICHALE's hands. Because of the trouble, we did'nt stick around to hang with the band. As we pulled out, a police riot van pulled in. I'd just like to apologize to the MISFITS for the behavior of the DICKS. I hope they come back to the A-B-E area sometime soon. toomuchhorrorbusiness...............BRENT OSMUN, EASTON PA. ------------------------------ From: Mark Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #185 Date: Fri, 31 May 1996 18:07:07 -0400 (EDT) > From: DANZIG8525@aol.com > Date: Thu, 30 May 1996 10:13:54 -0400 > > I've seen and heard all about Mr. Mikey Graves and I think he SUCKS!

Why don't you actually meet Jerry before you evaluate his reason for continuing the Misfits... watch him enjoy the show more than the audience, laughing and smiling the whole time, and playing like it's his last show ever... spend some time with him for 3 or 4 hours while he signs autographs and gives out shirts, stickers, and guitar picks. Have him come shake your hand or give you a hug after the show, and when he asks you how the show was, tell him what you really think. I have a feeling you wouldn't say what you just said above. > the best you can get. Here's a great idea why don't we drop Doyle he doesn't > play worth a shit believe me listen to any live album or even Walk Among Us > and compare his work to Bobby Steele's no comparison Bobby kicks his ass, but Doyle's a great guitarist.

It's interesting that you think of that lineup (Jerry, Bobby, Glenn, Googy) as the proper reunion lineup. That particular group of guys only played ONE show together, not that it matters.

Neil - Just being an individual, ey? Scaring the general population with Misfits memorabilia is cool as shit.. however, I think your story beats mine by far, considering the kid actually cried. Good work, my man.. :) The guy that posted about Mike Graves Sucking - Have you actually heard him, or do you just figure since he's not glenn, he sucks? I've already stated my opinion on this.. sure, if it could be Glenn, Bobby, Jerry, and Goog it'd rule, but seeing as Jerry's been ripping on Bobby since the imaginary xmas show which I have on imaginary CD (OK folks, I don't have any quarrel with Jerry personally, heck i'm gonna go to see the new misfits, but I'm going to trust my own experience/sanity over what Jerry says about this CD existing! :)), it's not bloody likely. I can only hope for the day when all this stuff is settled, and maybe by that time Glenn will have stopped hating EVERYONE and come to his senses, maybe figure the fits could be a decent thing.. but apparently Glenn wants nothing to do with it, right? So why keep dreaming that he will.. this is the misfits, and it'd only be right to judge them by their merit as a band. I mean look, they're giving everyone what they want by playing all the old tunes, right? I'm gonna wait till I see them live and/or get the blacklight single, as i've said before, until I pass judgement. Bobby - I'm thinkin a version of Teenagers containing the words "bobby Steele's not an asshole fucking cunt, not an asshole fucking cunt, Bobby Steele - The Undead Rule, The undead Fucking Rule!" Is in order, though that'd probably only be inflamatory to your situation with Jerry, you gotta admit it'd be kinda humorous. :) P.S. - do you offer any shirts with the Undead Logo and/or the cover of Live Slayer, or just that cartoon pic of you standing on stage? If ya don't, they should exist, cause they'd be sweet. :) And to all you guys that are fighting about this and that, can't we all just get along? We're all Misfits fans, right? That's what unites us.. So lets not let our ego's tear us all apart and just let all the warring threads die.. about Anthrax.. I was very young when hair that was short in the front, long in the back was the pinnacle of sweetness, thus I missed Anthrax in their heyday.. but I seriously don't think Metal of that type could still even be considered a living genre of music.. Stuff like Anthrax is good to reminisce about, of course Caught in A Mosh is a classic, and requires "headbanging" whenever it is herd, but could anyone seriously take Anthrax seriosuly today? I've not bothered with their last 2 or 3 albums, because it kind of seems like a waste of money.. the last of a dying breed, but that's just my opinion, and i'd have NO problem seeing Anthrax with the Misfits.. hell, I'd have no problem seeing Joan Baez with the Misfits.. Now Green Day, or any of the other Epitaph bands.. THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM. :) BTW - my friend Gabriel Palczewski from this very mailing list is the one that introduced me both to the misfits and the Undead, so I feel I must pay him homage. But recently he purchased a neat peice of vinyl by a band called "charles Bronson". Due to the fact that this album contains a song entitled "I can't be your friend because you like Epitaph", it gets my STRONG reccomendation. THanks to the dude with the info on SuperNinjas.. it seems like everyone is leaving just as i'm getting started posting.. However my incredibly large messages can make up for the lack of posters. :) seeyas Matt A.K.A Voodoo Child Weaker Youth v_child on the IRC matt138@godzilla.novasys.com 'fuckin people that I see always fuckin' starin at me' -The Undead ------------------------------ From: MR JOSEPH F MARINO Date: Fri, 31 May 1996 18:52:44, -0500 Subject: Allentown 5/30/96 Yo...Just got back from the Allentown show, and to say the least it was one memorable fucking night. They put on a great show despite some sound problems due to this being the first night of the tour. First of all, Anthrax did go on before the Misfits, and I must say they put on a great show. I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks about them, they were incredible. Anyway, when the Misfits FINALLY hit the stage all hell broke loose. Me and my friend were right against the barrier and even got to scream lyrics to many of the songs. At one point Jerry jumped down right in front of us and let everyone around us thump on his bass. I'd like to be able to say we got to hear their complete set but 1 song into the encore the show was stopped by Jerry because of a bunch of ignorant bald headed nazi bastards. They seemed to think it would be more fun to beat the piss out of people than enjoy the music. I know at least one guy got his ass kicked so bad that he had to have gone to the hospital. Anyway, Jerry told them to chill the fuck out but by then the club had pulled the plug and that was that. Later we waited by the tour bus (we were the only ones waiting, what happened to all you fiends?) and met Jerry who signed our stuff and thanked us for waiting. We asked him about the Blacklight 7" and he said that there is a delay because they need to go back into the studio to do some more work. Jerry then told us to sneak upstairs and get the rest of the band to sign. Upstairs we saw Doyle and Michale sitting in the room with a couple other people. They were both really cool and signed what we gave them. We didn't meet Chud but we'll get him next time. Well, I hope I didn't bore anyone too bad but I just had to share. I couldn't say enough good things about how these guys treat their fans. They get my total respect. If anyone was at this show or just wants to talk then E-mail me. J. "Blame it all on Nazi youth" By the way, this is the second time I saw the band and I gotta say, Michale is very talented and in no way a cheap clone of Glenn so quit your bitchin cause the man can sing. ------------------------------ From: Goods45@aol.com Date: Sat, 1 Jun 1996 03:41:58 -0400 Subject: opening bands Anthrax might not be a cool, good sounding, respected band, but I hope that when they do play; they aren't booed off the stage. If I was in Anthrax, im not, I would be kind of saddened by the responses that were given about my band on the bible. Some members of Anthrax might even subscribe. So try to give Anthrax some respect, but as for C.C. they suck ass. Hope the Pittsburg show on the 29th isnt sold out because i should be attending. I saw The 'Fits in Cleveland and they blew me away. Regarding Bible #185, I saw the Misfits poster in Saved by the bell too.

Personally, I think the picture looks great and very menacing. As published in "Details" June 1996: The Misfits were the great lost band of punk's first wave. Inspired by what they'd heard about punk rock instead of punk itself, they forged what they thought it should be: brutal, hammer-down, superfast songs about ghouls. Maybe four chords, solos composed entirely of half a note, skull-rattling riffs played way too loud, whoa-oh-oh sing-along choruses, and almost every song a pagan hymn filled with TV-brained paranoia and B-movie imagery. They prefigured the incendiary hardcore of Black Flag, the macabre schtick of Metallica and White Zombie, and the camp-horror sensibility of Marilyn Manson. But even when they were singing about wanting to eat brains and hang out at the devil's whorehouse, the Misfits meant every word. They are also the only reason anybody still cares about one of Beavis and Butt-head's favorite poets: Before he became Danzig, Lord of Darkness, the Misfits' singer was just Glenn Danzig, Jersey boy. Danzig's ditties (sample title: "I Turned Into A Martian") were punk in velocity yet pure pop in melody, and his band hated everything mundane about both the suburbs and punk rock itself. But their oooh-scary theatrics were as punk as punk gets because it was all about ignoring everyone else's standards, and their music still sounds good today - because everyone needs a good scream now and then. - Pat Blashill Not a bad write-up, is it?

Though I personally don't much believe in those so called 'influences'...: We all know about the (possible) connection/influence of 'Mars attacks', Tim Burtons upcoming film resp. trading cards, but I am surprised that nobody hasn't noticed yet: 'The Hunger' - 1983 movie by Tony Scott, feat. C.Deneuve, D.Bowie and S.Sarandon. About vampires; the Bowie aging-scene is probably the best part of it, unless seeing Deneuve and Sarandon in bed together is your idea of fun... 'The Haunting' - 1963 movie by Robert Wise, feat. J.Harris and R.Tamblin. Creepy film 'bout a ninety-year-old haunted house and a group of people experiencing supernatural events in it.

The show is at the Asbury Park Convention Hall and will showcase The Misfits, Anthrax, Cannibal Corpse and Life of Agony. Tickets went on sale yesterday. So contrary to what I said last issue, the Asbury Park show is on July 30th. If this now turns out to be wrong, then I have no idea what's going on.

Last night (saturday) I got on the irc at about ten o'clock to see what was up. Now the night before I had talked to Mark Kennedy and that was great. I had a blast talking with the man that has made all of this possible for us. But last night was terrible. As you all know I go by the name of shifter. So last night the guys or girls I had been talking to for about ten minutes got so bored they decided to call me shitter. They did this even though I had been supplying most of the conversation because they were pretty bored. So when they started bagging on my name I did not care too much. When they did this I would just reply with a misfits lyric like: I'm gonna put a knife right in you. So after about four or five minutes of there pathetic name calling they decide to kick me off. Some guy named Gothboy and 20 eyes did it. THEY decide to kick ME off when they had been bagging on me and what I did was just write back some 'fits lyrics! I thougth they made some mistake or it was a joke or something so I tried going back on and some guy repeated OFF WITH HIS HEAD! And I was kicked off again. Then, because I was so PISSED off with that I went back on there calling them obscenities. Maybe I should not have done that, but I think what they did is so typical of certain people on this bible, and on irc, so I went off. I think I had the f***ing right to do what I did. These guys treat me like shit and try to act like they own irc. Well I can tell you right away that I don't need that shit. I mean, I've been on irc three times before this and all those times I had a great time. One time I was on with bobby steele and the other mark kennedy. But these guys (20 eyes and Gothboy) take themselves so seriously it is pathetic! To treat people the way they did is so shitty and so telling of the BIG EGOES that these guys have gotten I have decided to rid myself of this misfits bible and irc. Now I know most of you are saying: who cares, this guy doesn't contribute much to the bible anyway. Well, I just want you to know that most of you aren't contributing much credible info either (like me) and I'm being forced out of irc because of two ego trippers; AND ANYONE OF YOU COULD BE NEXT! This bible was great for me, I learned a ton of information from some of you, and on irc I learned some stuff. I don't want to be remembered as some guy who whined and complained about irc, but a guy who had an opinion and was punished for it. I'm not gonna leave this bible by cursing all of you, I'm gonna leave telling you all that things need to change! I would like to thank MARK KENNEDY and CHRIS TERNES for always being cool with me. Mark, please end my subscription to the bible.

Well this is post is under direct order from Jerry himself. He said that I have to post about this show! The 'fits put on another great one on Saturday night. But first the highlights: Me (^nike^), Keith "the Noss", and an IRC'er known as dalurker, decided to drop by the Newport early to see if we could catch sound check or whatnot. We found the guys working out and hanging with some fiends in the lot behind the hall. They were great, signed our tickets, and we sat around talking about the tour, the new material, football, and their weight training system. The recording sessions went well Jerry said, but they want to make sure that they are happy with them completely before the release. Basically, they do not want to put out anything that is not the quality that they are looking for. As I said before, Jerry is a real character. A little girl approached the group selling candy bars, and Jerry didn't have nay money. He yells for Doyle, who does have some cash, and bought $20 worth of candy off of this girl and made her day. It was great to see the expression on her mother's face! Jerry says, "Everybody have some chocolate. It's good for you!" So we ate some chocolate and passed the water jugs around to wash it down. Everyone was friendly and we talked with the whole crew before we left to get something to eat before the show. Inside, Chud recognized us from earlier, offered us low fat corn chips, and hung out, soon a few other fiends (John, Greg, and some of their friends)came along, who were also there earlier and everyone kinda hit it off. I finally got to see what Chud looked like without the drum set, and he's really fun and easy to talk to. Dave, the bus driver, bonded with dalurker and the rest of our newly formed niche for most of the night. He's been driving for about 8 years, and has driven for Buffet, k.d. lang, Aretha Franklin, and Marsallis from the Tonight Show. He said that the Misfits were the best people he had ever worked with and he'd drive them any time, anywhere. Anyway, if you should happen to see Dave at a show, say hello, he's a cool guy. Greg and John offered to have the 'fits stay over at their place for the night. Jerry asked if they could use their shower, and they said no problem. It was kinda funny cause i guess Jerry was so polite about it like it might be some huge inconvience! I talked with him a bit at the house that night after the show, he was thanking everyone and told me I had to post to the bible about the night. Basically what I'm saying here is that all of the guys were very appreciative of the support and help they got from their fans. One of Greg's roommates didn't even know who they were and said that he thought they were very cool and thanked him for his hospitality. First class all the way. The Misfits didn't go on until 11:00 and the Newport told them they had to be off stage by 12:15. I blame Anthrax for this, as their set seemed to go on *forever*. I think they were on for much longer than an hour. The 'fits put on a great show with lots of energy and played a lot of the new stuff, which I think sounds pretty good live! Michale dove into the crowd a lot and climbed the speakers, then had to jump off of them. He said' "Those are high!" They were. Can't say I would've done it... Doyle and Jerry gave it their all, jumping off stage and onto the risers in front of the gate, and crowd. (I was leaning on it on Doyle's side.) Jerry even pulled John up on stage to sing "We are 138"! During "Teenagers from Mars" Jerry spotted me and ran across the stage, jumped on the riser in front of me, grabbed my hand, gave me a kiss and ran off! Everyone around me turns to stare, so I just say, "I'm cool". Dalurker, who is a fiend in training (F.i.T), even crowed surfed for the first time. He has now achieved inner peace...which proves my theory that the Misfits can change the world, even if it be one fiend at a time... (hum your favorite inspirational tune here). Hmmmmmm....a comment about the crowd. Disappointing. It seemed that I was the only person singing along. The 'fits gave a great show and the crowd was kinda dead. A lot of crowed surfing by the _same_5_people_, which got really annoying. Keith noticed much the same, as did dalurker. Walking out through the crowd after the show, Jerry gave me a hug and asked me what I thought. I told him it was a fantastic show! So, what have we learned here? The Misfits are a class act. They appreciate their fans...er fiends. I met some great people. And I'm going to see them again in Pittsburgh. later ^nike^ p.s. If I've missed anything important, it was a long night! We hung out with the 'fits, and the crew for a long time...and I'm getting old, it's a senility thing. ;) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Jun 1996 00:08:15 -0400 (EDT) From: drodrigu@acme.highpoint.edu (Daniel Rodrigues) Subject: New Tape idea Hey there Fiends, Well Im back and ready to rock. To: Matt Vodoo Child from:monday may 27th Hey thanx for agreeing with me. I dont think that I over reacted at all. I dont post outbursts like that normally , but when I read that post I was angry. And I didnt write that piece in the heat of the moment, I took my time and thought about it. That way I could get to the point and be as precise as possible. I couldve just ripped off a flame, cursing up and down at this guy but I chose not to. That has always been somthing that has bothered me abvout this list, people seem to get so angry at other peoples oppinions. But how do they articulate their own oppinions, by cursing the other person out. It makes no sense and is childish. But this guy in particular made a personal attack on not only me but probably most people on this list. And I found his comments to be niether appropriate nor relevant disscussion for this list. But hey who am I to tell anyone what to send in, right? But I guese evryone has to have a cause in life and I guese it made him feel special. But it bothered me, and it should bother most people here. I know that this is somthing that I enjoy, and I feel is special. Not only that but it is exciting, with all the new happanings in this band but also having almost a direct link to the band in Mark, and I just dint like somone trying to rain on evryones parade. In other related thoughts: I have been getting into watching the old horror movies that inspired the bands music. Plan 9 from outer space, return of the fly, NOTLD, and Horror Hotel. Now those are the ones I have if anyone else has other like the monster from green hell or old crimson ghost shows on tape and would copy them for me I would appreaciate it. What I want to do is make a tape with like 2 second cuts from the movies and then go into the song for example: -from plan 9 "Are you ready for Graverobbers From Outer Space!" and then launch right into Vampira. I think it would be cool. So tell me what you guys and gals think. Id like to make a tyape then I would copy it and send it out to whomever wants one. So give me some ideas of what parts to take and what exactly I could do with this. thats all for now D-Rod ------------------------------------- To contribute to the next issue, please send email to: misfits@virginia.edu For more information, contact Mark Kennedy at: msk4m@watt.seas.virginia.edu For answers to almost all questions, please check The Misfits World Wide Web page before posting, located at: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/ The Misfits mailing address is: Misfits Fiend Club | P.O.

I don't subscribe to the bible any longer, just wanted to drop this tidbit= off.=20 The Louisville show with Anthrax and Ms. Fitz was great. The opening band, some local piece of shit, sucked. The only thing that made Anthrax almost interesting was that John Bush was there. But when the Ms. Fitz got there, all of that changed. Good performance. Good playing. Good energy. Good stage presence. And lots of skulls. Yes Mike Graves pulled it off. I had the biggest doubts of any of you, but he was great!=20 I don't give a shit about any little childish arguments between Doyle/Only and Danzig. I don't give a shit about the money any one owes any one else. I don't give a shit who is mad at who and who is better than who. All I care about is hearing those songs and seeing the band. I know that may suprise you. I know that some of you think it is more important to settle old scores and win arguments. But in my opinion the only reason this bible even exists is because once there was a band that made some cool music. That is it. Nothing more, nothing less. We don't like the music because there is distrust between members. We don't buy the shit because the Crimson/Mark dynamic duo says we should. We make the choice. My choice is to listen to the music and not the childish bickering. =20 Hello! I am Xxiippy!

TSOL changed lineups so many times that they had no original members and when the old guys wanted to do a reuinion, they couldn't, as the new guys had the name. kind of ironic? fugazi is not called minor threat, or rites of spring, or egghunt, or embrace, etc... the new porno for pyros record is two-thirds jane's addiction. semantics... i guess i have to hand it to them for not calling the band kryst the conqueror any more. does the fact that a lot of you get to see the current lineup when you could not before or hang out with the new misfits and have them give you stuff and be cool to you while danzig does not give you the time of day have anything to do with a critical assessment? i don't want to be mean, by the way. -- JOE FRANKE "fueling the fire..." jfranke@slip.net http://www.slip.net/~jfranke ------------------------------ From: CURRY@coscc.cc.tn.us Date: Mon, 03 Jun 1996 12:29:01 -0600 (CST) Subject: summerhain summerhain ` ------------------------------ From: CURRY@coscc.cc.tn.us Date: Mon, 03 Jun 1996 12:47:27 -0600 (CST) Subject: short stuff The DragonCon(fantasy etc. convention) will be in atlanta same day as the misfits.

Personally, I think that Earth A.D. is the misfits best album. Before I found out that the "legacy" album was really the "static" album cuts, I thought that they were really turning soft. I first got Walk Among Us and loved it, then I got Earth A.D. and flipped, and then I got Legacy of Brutality and thought "Boy, have they changed!" This whole argument about Earth A.D. and the Misfits "metallizing" (is that even a fucking word) is so retarded. You can look at it three ways: 1. If you listened to Static Age, then Walk Among Us, and then Earth A.D. one might say that they were becoming more metal. 2. If you listened to Earth A.D., then Walk Among Us, and then Static Age, one might say they were becoming more softer. 3. OR one can say, "Fuckin' who cares either way" and just love the fact that they misfits are making music that is both different from past and future endeavors and still rocks the shit out of these one-hit wonder bands. Ever notice how misfits music can be played anywhere during any time period (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s) and it still sounds superb, yet other music groups have died in their respective time frames.

My own Victim was the opening band, they were local,but no one really got into them. Anthrax was ok, but not many people came to see them. Oh yea, while the first band was playing, this nazi skinhead was beating people down in the crowd, I thought he was going to kill some one. Security jumped the rail and took his ass down and beat the shit out him. It was hillarious. Michale did a great job for the most part, his voice has to develop on a few songs, but I think he's great for the job. Also during London Dungeon Michale invited some guy on stage and I think he said he was from Samhain, but I couldn't hear his name real well. Any way during the final song Die, Die my Darling, Jerry Jumped into the crowd and was carried up to the bar. I meet him at the bar where he signed my Collection I c.d. I told Jerry I had something for him and I gave him a tape of my band. He seemed to appreciate that I had gave it to him, he thanked me and gave my a bear hug. I have to say though Jerry has to be about the nicest person I have ever met.

But, Ive heard the new misfits and Micheal is no Glenn Danzig pure and simple and it certainly does not sound or seem like the same band.. NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE. It was not even a fairly nostalgic experience which I hoped it would be. Yeah, I love Danzig etc.., but the preceding is the honest opinion of a long time and true misfits fan.

They have not had a thrash sound since Reign In Blood. If anything, they have been relatively constant with their style since South of Heaven. The only thing that has really sped up is the drumming now that Lombardo is out. If you really want proof of them not becoming thrashy, listen to 'Gemini' off of the latest punk tribute album. It is controlled, horrorific, and powerful. Ah, Slayer does rock. * Dorin M Petre - "Metal is dead" huh? Like I've said in previous posts...it's not! I won't go in depth, read back if you care. But chew on this...listen to new Pantera, Sepultura, Slayer, and even certain aspects of Rage. It is all just an evolution. LISTEN before you assess. * Bad Ninja - I don't know where you were in the 1980s, but Anthrax was influential as all hell. They were the core of 80s metal. Without Scotty Ian and Charlie Benante, there wouldn't have been S.O.D.. Without S.O.D., there wouldn't have been M.O.D.. Without Anthrax there may not have ever been the rap/metal fusion. Remember 'I'm the Man' by Anthrax? That was the song that opened up the door to Body Count's (which members of Anthrax helped lay tracks down to) evolution. Listen to 'Bring the Noise' by Public Enemy in which part of the lyrics pay tribute to Anthrax. Regarding them making a comeback - I think that was mentioned because they have regrouped after some turmoil. Dan Spitz is gone and Joey Belladona was kicked out a while back. BTW, Dimebag Darrell from Pantera just happened to help lay tracks to Anthrax's last album. Also, Kiss sure as hell must like them because Anthrax was one of about 50 bands which was exclusively selected to play on the Kiss My Ass tribute album. Even Megadeth was passed over. You said that Anthrax was never special, but The Misfits were. Well, I believe you are incorrect. They sure were special to a lot of bands, including mine. Just my two cents plus tax. Finally, to all exercising fiends - try recording Static Age / EAD back to back on a tape and do your running/exercising with that combo on the Walkman. The Static Age songs are great for the first leg of a bike trip or a jog and then EAD just keeps you pounding at the end. BTW - EAD is my fav album. Without that album, I wouldn't be here. Pure aggression. Gouge comes ripping. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Jun 1996 23:35:24 -0400 (EDT) From: WiCkEdKiNgWiCkEr Subject: time square bobby where is this ulana's place that time square is playing at in philly? i asked like 6 people that live there and they have never heard of it. also, will you have some undead stuff there for sale... i'd really like to pick up a couple records... well i'm looking forward to seeing your new band, after what you said about it sounds pretty cool. i was on irc last friday and shifter was on... he seemed ok... its too bad he got all upset for being kicked of and stuff... i'm sure gothboy and 20 were just playing with him... oh well. :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: Jess Cyphers Asenath WiCkEdKiNgWiCkEr cyphersj@polaris.ncs.nova.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am the ruler of an invisible empire.

Greetings all, I have a favor to ask of you. I have to an informative speech to give for my summer school Comm class and I decided that it would be cool to inform the class on the true roots of what we celebrate today as Halloween. The problem: I know very little about it's history myself. To supplement my research, I was hoping that some of you might be able to give me some information, or at least ideas to talk about. The speech has to be kind of concise (3-5 minutes), but I want it to be interesting. I was interested in discussing things like the Celtic beginnings, what ceremonies were affiliated with it originally, gods (?), phonetic spellings of things like Gaelic names associated with Halloween, why Americans associate things like witches and jack-o-lanterns with the date, and it's ties with Christian traditions. Oh yeah, and how did the trick-or-treat thing start? If y'all can e-mail me directly with any help or suggestions you might have, it would be greatly appreciated.

The fits want to make peace with me, but when I ask for my money. . . the talk usually ends. It's as if they don't want peace as much as they want surrender. As far as T-shirts go; There's only one that's really available right now. It's the EVENING OF DESIRE cover art. I've got some people working on other designs, but until I get some money to work with - my hands are somewhat tied creatively. I don't know; is anyone else interested in seeing the designs mentioned above on t-shirts. If three's enough of a demand; I'll see about meeting it. On another note: WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE is turning out to be quite a success. I don't know if it's opened nationally, yet, but I've heard reports of people waiting in line for hours to get to see it in New York. The soundtrack is available, and EVENING OF DESIRE is on it. So even if you can't find anything else by THE UNDEAD, you'll have no problem finding this collection. For any RAMONES fans out there.

I think it is one of the most intense albums I have ever heard. Wolfsblood and Death Comes Ripping always seem to get me pumped up. Whenever I listen to it in the car I always end up flooring it without even realizing it so I guess that says something eh?

Why did they change theatures, does anyone know? Also does anyone who is going to the concert want to meet me and my boyfriend before the concert? It would be nice to get to know some fiends. Another thing I like to say is in the last issue #186, Shifter wrote a goodbye letter. That letter upset me and my boyfriend. He's ended his subcribtion to the Bible and isn't going to get on the chat line because of to people who were jerks to him. I thought the chat line had certain rules so that people won't get offended. Those rules were broken. 20 Eyes and Gothboy are jerks for kicking Shifter off. Because of them we have one less fiend that subcribes to the Bible and one less fiend on the chat line. Everyone of us contributes in some way. It may be as simple as being a feind and buying Misfits stuff. I think people like 20 eyes and Gothboy should be kicked off the #Misfits chat line or they should lighten up and take a joke. True I only heard Shifter side of the story but if either 20 Eyes or Gothboy would like to tell me theirs I would like to hear it. I don't want to judge people I don't know but the letter was upsetting. If we let rude people on the chat line than where are the true and nice fiends going to go. They are going to say the hell with the Bible and the chat line. No one wants to put up with shit like that. The true fiends are behind Shifter.

I also have noticed that some people who get Op's on #misfits, seem to take a power trip. The idea of kicking or banning somone from that channel Is ridiculous. Anyone should be able to say what they want and have any oppinion they want. Now if it becomes a constant vulgarity insest of dialogue, then action should be taken. I feel that the privaledge of Op's has been ghiven to tooo many people, and is abussed. But don't just give up, andf dont quit the bible. First off the bible has nothing to do with #misfits, except for the same band, people from here go there, and links to each page. Look for me on the chhannel I am always looking for good conversation, if Im not there then leave. But I agree with you somthing should be done. But dont take these things so serious, I know how you feel I used to feel the same way about people not talking. But just pop and look for somone to talk with if Im there I will always talk away over anything else, consider me your friend and you chat with me on anything miosfits related.

Well, I bought the new Metallica album the other day. What does this have to do with this particular mailing list, you ask? One of the songs called "Thorn Within" sounds almost exactly like Danzig's "Snakes of Christ", er at least part of the guitar. I remember reading someone else noticing the same thing, but I don't remember if it was here or on alt.rock-n-roll.metal.metallica. I get confused because I see arguements about the new Misfits and the new Metallica and how it totally sucks/rules on both. ;) To those that say that metal is dead: I guess it depends on how you look at it. It looks to me that metal has gone "underground" now. There are a few bands that still stick out(to me at least) like Slayer, Anthrax, and yes, even Metallica. But there are so many bands which seem far more interesting than those listed which no one ever hears about. Well, at least not here in the US. I think bands like At the Gates, My Dying Bride, Dissection, and Skyclad are extremely talented, but you never hear of them around here. I suggest that those who claim that metal is dead listen to one of those bands I listed and then say that metal is dead. I just don't like seeing someone say that an entire genre of music is 'dead'. Except for maybe disco and glam metal, those should have never been born. ;) Later, Steve Langerholc ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Jun 1996 08:10:17 -0400 From: Chris Hatcher Subject: Atlanta show I got tickets!

It's some really good footage. Almost 75 minutes. Great close-ups although the camera goes out of focus for a few seconds every once in a while. It was shot head on, above the heads of the people in the crowd. So the camera guy who shot it must have been the one standing up on the bar. I'd seen this guy but had thought it was one of the Misfits' people. I'd never seen a bootlegger use a tripod or work in such an open place before. I think Jerry or Michale even dedicated a song to the guy so I just figured they knew who he was. Anyway, the video's really good, especially if you've never seen nor heard the new line-up before. I think of the 3 new songs they played at the show, "The Hunger" was the best sounding. It has a very cool "Whoa"-type chorus. If you want to get a copy of the show, I got it from Brian Allison/105 McCabe Ave. #307/Bradley Beach, NJ/07720. I bought it for $20 including shipping. I'm not connected with the guy so please don't think this is an advertisement for his video business. I just wanted to let you all know where to get it. It's a really great show.

The Vic is so much smaller than the Riviera, that the ticket sales were probably TERRIBLE for the show. And, what's odd is that tickets are still on sale. I asked a Ticketmaster guy if he thought the Vic show would sell out and it seemed he thought that was the funniest thing he ever heard. Remember 12/9/94? Danzig was supposed to play the Aragon, and had to play the Riviera? I mean, the Aragon holds 5000 people or so, and the Riviera I'd estimate no more than 2000, with the Vic probably having about 1000. It's a shame the Whale's closed, that would've been the ideal place to see the Misfits.

Well, this is my first posting so let me tell you a little about myself before I go on: name: Francine L. Kilby from: Jersey City, NJ live: Keansburg, NJ school: St. Peter's College, Accounting Major D.O.B.: September 24, 1976 got into the Misfits when I was twelve by a friend who was pissed at his brother and gave me all his punk tapes (his prized possessions) Other bands I like: Life of Agony, Type O Negative, Slayer, Ramones, Clash, No Doubt, Danzig, Dance Hall Crashers, Bad Religion, Rancid, Exploited and some others I just can't think of this moment Last book I read was American Vampirism by Norine Dresser O.K. Krusty760 said he was searching for Exploited's Punks Not Dead and Horror Epics. (great albums) If he is in the NY/NJ area, there is a store in Hoboken NJ called Dragonfly records that has it as well as Now and Then in Hazlet,NJ or Vintage Vynyl in Woodbridge, NJ. Happy hunting! Oh yeah, Misfits are playing with Life of Agony, Anthrax, and Cannibal Corpse on July 30 at Convention Hall, Asbury Park,NJ. I am there and will happily give my review. One thing that's irking me, what the hell kind of mix is that? Misfits are far too great to play with Cannibal or Anthrax Don't get me wrong, i used to like Anthrax but that was when I was young naive and didn't know any better.

I read the same thing about Type O Negative doing Vampira, if they had time to record it. My friend from high school is now the singer for Snapcase, a vegan/straight-edge hardcore band from Buffalo. I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he said that they had recorded Mark's favorite tune, She, for the same Misfits tribute CD. They recorded they song a while ago but Caroline said that the release would be late this summer. So we'll see.

Once upon a time, there was a band called Dr. Know. They played some weird, heavy metalcore tunes and sounded just fine. I saw them open up for DRI in 1986. I have the last(?) LP they put out on Death records, but it's not representative of their earlier work. I had This Island Earth, but it was taken to California by an acquaintance. So what do I want? Anyone who has ANY Dr. Know releases, let me know. I need copies or the original if the price is fair. All I have from this amazing band is a sticker from the 86 Tour and that bad "metalized" album.

They kicked into "Halloween" and all fears of them sucking vanished. They sounded really good and it was obvious they were having a blast on stage. After the show, all four were outside the Thunderdome signing anything placed in front of them. I regret not taking an extra roll of film to take photos after the show, but that's life.

For the big Earth AD debate: EAD is a great album! One of the bueatys about the misfits music is that all the albums sound different. I mean if you take Static Age,The 7" singles, WAU, and EAD and compare them they are all different. That is what is so great about this band. If you get sick of one album just throw on another and enjoy that. The flexibility and versatility of the misfits is genius(although I dont seem to ever tire of any Misfits!). Although the change in sound is mainly a part of the changes in drummers, If you dont believe me check the jerry only interview in MMR. He says it there, and it is true. But we all know that glenn wrote the music and he was there all the way but that is what the man jerry says! But hey I dig that album allot also. And to all those who do or dont EAD is doyles favorite album. WAU is jerrys, they say so in the WSOU radio interviews. So peace. To Gouge: about anthrax. Your right Anthrax well a very influential band. I remmember Im the man and state of euphoria. They were one of a few bands that slammed out fast paced jams that broke the mainstream of the cock rock era. At That time only metallica, megadeth, and anthrax really broke through. Not to metion they had some of the coolest T-shirts around. So right on brotha! To Ben Todd: if you are researching halloween you might want to check the article section of Misfits Central. Under Samhain articles there is "from samhain to halloween" and " the origin of halloween". To SHE: What is the deal with the "Animal Room" movie that the misfits will be in? I mean what do they do in it , and when will it be out? Who is in it? in other notes: I tried to get on that stupid MTV yack, because I thought it would be cool to invade these jerks and rave on and on about the return of the misfits. I eventually got kicked off but was on for about 20 mins and repeated over and over: The Misfits "Fiends Forever" they are back, new tour, new album, and new singer! Jerry and Doyle will kill and destroy any band in the land. Needless to say I got allot of HUH, and some metallica fans who said the fits sucked! Would there have been a metallica without the fits? Also I heard the new metallica album while I was coming home on the radio, and let me say it is appropriatley titled "Load". Thats what it is a big fat stinky load. tooDahLoo D-Rod "Murder is his name" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jun 1996 22:21:14 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.)

Naw, just teasin'. I'm thinking something along the lines of the back of "Legacy." Y'know, the skeleton suited illustration of a fiend singing (is it supposed to be Glenn?). Anyway, I love that picture. Or maybe just the CG from the front of that album. I dunno. Maybe not. I think it should be on a white shirt (it get's hot as fuck in some places that us cold-blooded fiends live) especially since I think that the ink and images would show up better. I think the ink should be black, with purple Misfits "monster" lettering. I don't really dig purple too much, but it's dark, and it might distinguish the Bible T from other 'Fits Ts that usually have black and red (except for maybe "Die...)". I think purple would look tough as fuck for some reason. But with black designs. The shirts should be good quality shit with snug (no sagging or loose collars) collars. Maybe offered in L and XL sizes. I think they should say something about the Bible, like the address and maybe the address for the Web site. I don't know about listing the addresses of members on it- it might look like one of those "class of" Ts that HS seniors wear. Anyway, so those are my extremely inventive ideas. READ!!!!: ***My original idea was to have a design of CG at a terminal kinda looking over his shoulder with his bony fingers on the keyboard. No one responded to this original idea, though. Then it would say "Misfits" in the purple "monster" lettering above the design, and just below that, it would say "Bible" in regular black Block letters. Below the black design of CG at the computer it would have the address of the Bible and Web page. (All of course on the aforementioned WHITE T-shirt). This design would appear on the front of the T so that when it does get chilly and we don our jackets, we can still wear the T-shirts under our open jackets and still expose the world!!!!! (cue demonic laughing). So I think this is pretty damn practical: it's multi-seasonal, sporty, and has that certain sparkle of elegance. Perfect for day *or* evening wear.... Please respond!!!!

That was just to weird. Anyway..... I was wondering if anyone has shelled out the 60 - 80 bucks for the new box set that comes in the coffin. It looks cool but that is some serious cash. Is there any new stuff on it that is so rare or cool that it must be bought. I have all the tapes that have been released so basically I would be buying it for outtakes and different versions of the songs. I can't see spending that kind of cash for stuff I already got.

To anyone out there that is skeptical about Michale Graves as the new singer and anything else should really go see the band. Graves did a great job. This was one the best shows I've seen in a long time! It was really blast. The new songs sounded great too. the video they played before they came on was really cool as well. the crowd was going crazy and singing along the whole show. To any skeptics out there I suggest you go see the band, then if you're disapointed ( I don't think you will be) you can bitch. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Jun 1996 15:33:20 -0500 From: ^HepCat^ Subject: Re: shifter and #misfits >Date: Wed, 5 Jun 1996 00:53:00 -0400 (EDT) >From: Daniel King >Subject: Shifter and #Misfits > > Ok, I find this very funny...

I'm a Misfits old-timer I've been into them for 2 years now and pretty much have all their tapes. Anyway, I wanted to let you all in on a secret that I heard from a VERY reliable source. Have any of you been wondering why Glenn hasn't put out Danzig V? It's because Danzig isn't together any more. It hasn't been announced yet, but Eerie and John are leaving the band and it's been said that Chuck has been fired. This might be true - when I saw Danzig about a year or so ago, Chuck looked really strange and I was pretty sure it wasn't him. He had really dark hair and although he looked SIMILAR to Chuck, I just didn't think it was him. Did anyone else notice this? Well, the real reason I'm writing to you all, is to let you know that THE MISFITS ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER!!!! I didn't see this anywhere on the page, and I figured I'd be the first to break the news to you. My cousin livves in NJ and he met someone who worked with Jerry and Doyle who told him so. I don' tknow if Glenn is going to come back to them, but I sure hope so!!!!

The opening band was absolutely an experience. Their name was "Vic and the Vaccums" or "Vic Vaccum and the Accessories" or something like that. The singer was fucking like Billy Malano and he was dressed in a girl's mamba outfit. The other guitarists were dressed like Zorro. They were very "metal" in the likes of M.O.D. With songs like "We Do Acid" and "You Drive Like Shit," I'm sure you can imagine the response from the crowd. They did throw burrito tortias into the audience and that was kinda funny. The singer mooned us at the end. Very strange band. Anthrax was next. Let me assure you, that they still kick major ass. Opening with "Caught In a Mosh," the crowd went fucking nuts and a huge pit started going. BTW, the Vic Theatre angles downwards and kinda forms a perfect pit in front of the stage. I've never seen John Bush with Anthrax and I was kinda skeptical. Man, my skepticism vanished quickly - John can kick it. Anthrax did a whole bunch of old shit as well as new stuff. I was about 20 feet from Scotty Ian and it was incredible to see him still going at it. The highlight of the nite was when John got up about 50 feet in the air on the amps and staged dived right in the crowd. I think Anthrax was even shocked at his stunt - they looked surprised. One other interesting note was when Scotty Ian was telling a story about Al Jorgensen from Ministry and Lars Ulrich from Metallica. I guess both bands were recently hanging out in a hotel in NYC, and Al got really drunk. At some point, he stuck a pickle up his ass and wiped it on Lars!!! Lars had Al kicked out of the hotel. BTW, everyone booed when Scotty said the word "Metallica." The Misfits. Oh, The Misfits. What an incredible fucking stage! What a site to behold. They started playing Halloween II and showed clips from a bunch of horror/sci-fi movies for a while. Then the movie stopped, the Evilive GC came down, Dr. Chud ran to the drums (and that's all I saw of him for the whole concert), the guitar distortion started, and they came out. The whole fucking place went nuts! I was about 30 feet back and I saw the pit open up, so I made a bumper car run to the stage. There was only one guy in front of me and the barrier in front of him - talk about being right there. I was in front of Jerry the whole show and he just kicked. Those guys had so much energy and were having so much fun. The concert hall was totally going crazy. I ALWAYS write down the setlist to shows I go to - but I couldn't for this one. I was totally smushed up against the guy in front of me and I was getting hit from behind. I apologize for not being able to report the list. Can any other fiends give me the list? Michale fucking rocks. He had on the skull makeup and some funky spiked gloves. At one point he did what John Bush did and got up in a balcony for a stage dive. He also jumped on top of me at the end of "We Are 138." Jerry also jumped on us after the last song ("Die, Die My Darling") and was totally loving it. The only letdown was the lack of EAD stuff (they only did "Death Comes Ripping") and the fact that the show had to end at 11PM. That sucked - fucking all ages shows. Oh well. No fucking Nazis. Only one time did Michale go after someone who flicked him off or some shit. Anyone that disrespects Michale deserves an ass kicking anyway. Michale kicks fucking ass and holds his own. After the show a bunch of us hung out for the guys and met them by the bus. (BTW, The Misfits' roadies were very cool to us). Michale is the nicest guy in the whole world. He signed all this shit and took pics and is very modest. Hard to believe he's 21. Jerry took a while coming out (he joked that he didn't know we were waiting). When he came out he was cool to everyone. He is so happy doing what he's doing. He was asking us if we liked it and if everything sounded good. He was very humble, too. We also met Anthrax when they came out and they were alright. I think they partied a bit after the show and they seemed a bit outta it. Oh well. Dr. Chud was out there but I didn't really talk to him. We waited for Doyle till 1AM and then I left. For whatever reason, he wasn't coming out. Jerry kept telling us he'd get him, but Doyle never showed. It was too fucking cold to keep waiting. I wish I could've met him. Hey, Maria and Jose, did he finally come out? Maria, Jose, Csylvester and all the other Bible fiends I met - it was great hanging with you all. You were all high class people and I hope to hang with you all again soon. Gouge came ripping. ------------------------------ From: Krusty704@aol.com Date: Sat, 8 Jun 1996 16:16:20 -0400 Subject: VIC SHOW i went to the show at the vic last night (fri) the misfits & anthrax blew the fucking shit out of me! the greatest part of the anthrax show was when the vocalist (can't recall his name) jumped off a freakin pa system (probably 20 ft in the air) onto the crowd. i entered the pit for the entire misfits show, screaming along with every song. the video came down and Halloween 2 played in the background to killer movies like the day the earth stood still, creature from the black lagoon, NOTLD, and planet of the apes. it sort of sucked though. everyone was getting pumped up for about the first 2 minutes or so but then it dragged on for about another 5 minutes. and who the hell wants to listen to HAlloween 2 for 7 minutes anyway. SO then CHUD ran on stage, and soon after jerry and doyle. they kicked into halloween, then horror biz, martian,death comes ripping,all hell,the haunting, static age, TV,hybrid moments.during children in heat a confrontation went on between michale and a crowd member. michale beatr the shit out of him and security had to pull him off. jerry pretty much sang the lyrics for the entire song. after the song michale yelled, "get rid of that piece of shit."the moment i remember the most was when michale climbed the balcony during ghouls night out and jumped onto the crowd, i was holding on to his legs. afterwards he came and slapped all of our hands.so they did come back and then said they had an 11pm curfue and did die die... and left.

The band and the roadies were totally cool...my friends and I were talking to a roadie named Morgan and Chud while anthrax played..we asked him they they could dedicate a song to one of our friends who just died. It started out with the band off stage and then halloween played. A big screen came down in the back and showed clips of horror movies. At one point in the show some big jock dickhead was on top of some guys shoulders screaming ans flicking off Michale. He beat the shit outta him.... I have never been to a show with so much feedback the crowd was nutz...you could barely hear him singing over the crowd.

If you want short sleeves, like I do, you can just hack off the excess sleeves. If you do a bad enough job, you'll get a cool ragged punk/walking dead look that just can't be beat! This is from a LONG time ago, but whoever said they have a show review of the Detroit show, with pictures, I'm interested in running it in my zine, Cheapskate. If you already sent it out to another zine, maybe I could just use some of your pictures or something? I could send ya a copy if you want... This is kinda different, but am I the only one here who has neither heard, nor cares to hear Samhain or Danzig? (except for Mephisto Waltz and Mother respectively) Just curious... -Chubbs "If your sig is longer than your note, you are wasting space. Conserve sigs.

What does this >have to do with this particular mailing list, you ask? One of the songs >called "Thorn Within" sounds almost exactly like Danzig's "Snakes of >Christ", er at least part of the guitar. I remember reading someone else >noticing the same thing, but I don't remember if it was here or on >alt.rock-n-roll.metal.metallica. Actually the tidbit of info you are referring to was posted here by Patricia not that long ago. Snakes of Christ *IS* the same song as the Dictators' Minnesota Strip. OK at least the whole guitar part anyway. So I guess it holds true that "Thorn Within" is in actually just another rip off of the same. But then again, those shitheads in Metalica probly never listened to anything as cool as the Dictators anyway, pretty bad when you rip something off from a ripoff. hehehe Vandal, > You have no need to quit the bible, because thats just stupid >, >and you can always go back into #misfits, because I wont be there, thanks to >certain people who took your side without hearing mine. You are a little whiney fucking, crybaby, piece of fucking shit. Shut yer fuckin mouth already. Don't sit there and act all fucking smug and cocky, your a lyin sack of shit. I personally sat and watched you kick someone out of the channel for doing nothing more than talking and kidding around with your girlfriend. For example: (Deez is his girlfriend if you didn't know) I made a joke about deez. too fucking bad <^deez^> huhuhhuh???????? <^deez^> about me? no deez <^deez^> when? He is the sensitive type. he kicked psyko for saying something to you * ^deez^ is confused like a mOthER fuCkER not good so I kicked him back for being an asshole It really sucks when he keeps kicking me for no reason. any thing else goimg on? if he doesn't want people to talk to you then he should sit his little kiddie ass out in the hall when you're on - like he's doing right now Misfit Rule!! good point <^deez^> dont be pissed at em..hes just fucking weird like that..he just gets jealous..i dunno why..so just forget it ok? I know why it's cause he's a kid he does it all the time period he'll grow out of it anytime anyone fucks with him, he runs off There's a perfect example of what a dick you are Dan. As long as I'm on the subject of you.. SOMEONE faked a message from Eerie to me. the simple header said it was from Eerie, but upon examining the enriched header I discovered that it was a forgery and went through a cheezy anonymous remailer. funny though the message ORIGINATED from Concentric.net. As a matter of fact the local server was cnc006049.concentric.net (206.173.195.49)......I've seen your IP on IRC Dan.... your number is usually only a few off from that, like cnc006037.....And your IP is Dynamic. What do you take me for a fuckin newbie idiot? How much you wanna bet that both those ip's originate from the same POP at cris.com and that it's the same POP that Daniel here dials into? If I can prove this you're goin down mother-fucker. I'm personally gonna rip off your fucking head and puke down yer hole. Don't even think about fucking with me cause I'll make your life so fucking miserable you won't know what hit you. You've fraudulently misrepresented yourself as another person, how uncool is that asswipe? You gotta problem with me spill it with me, but don't involve people that have nothing to do with it. And to Mary & Eerie, I'm sorry that this little punk ass piece of shit had to involve you in this. But please let's not drop the investigation, continue to have AOL look into it. in the meantime I've got my provider backtracking it, and I'll be calling Concentric Net in the morning. I don't care if they gotta match fucking time stamps to find this fucker. I wanna know for sure who did this.

Gouge, he finally showed up at around 1:45a.m. He signed autographs and took pictures with whoever wanted to. he was very nice. O.k now about the concert. It was great. Michale sounds great. He was jumping into the audience and once he went up on the side balcony and jumped off. Doyle, Jerry, And Michale seemed like they were having a great time. Dr. Chud however was hidden behind his huge drumset. The stage was awesome, they had Crimson Ghost speakers and carved pumpkins on the speakers. There were no Neo-Nazis like on some other shows (atleast I didn't see any) which I was happy about. After the show I got to meet some other bible members other than Gouge and his friend. Also I stuck around to meet the Misfits. Michale was very nice, before they left Michale got out of the tour bus without his shoes and signed some more authographs, the bus was leaving and he said to us something like " let them throw out my shoes, and who will be the lead singer if they leave without me" Jerry was the one who was out back by the bar signing autographs then outside. He tried getting Doyle to come out a couple times. I didn't talk to Dr. Chud which now I wish I said something. To Gouge: It was nice meeting you and your friend(I forgot his name was it John?)Maybe we(Me, My boyfriend,You and your friend) can get together sometime? Another thing which sort of upset me. Antrax(sp?) played longer than the Misfits. The Misfits had to end at 11:00p.m because it was an all ages show. Other than that the show was great. Oh, the first opening band sucked in my opinion, (Vic Vacuum). Well, That about all. P.s. I recommand to go see the Misfits. They're the best!!!

Has everyone yanked all the misfits interviews off of the misfits homepage yet? If not then do so, if so then do not. I remember reading an interview regarding the misfits doing the soundtrack for the sequal to the movie bloodfeast. Bloodfeast is available at my local video rental store as well as a few others from the Herschell Gordon Lewis genre, however to no avail have i been able to even discover if bloodfeast 2 is really in existence. If anyone has a copy of this its a must have for me. How about those Victims demo's and video footage folks. Ive got a couple of responses so far, but id like to see everyone in the bible interested, afterall im willing to send you copies for only the postage and the cost of the tape ( roughly 8 bucks ) About the misfits bible t-shirt i have to agree with whats his name about the dark purple misfits logo, that would look really fresh. The idea about the crimson ghost reading the bible is good but it would have to say misfits bible otherwise people just might get confused. And long sleeves are a for sure plus.

I saw him there too, and was wondering how the hell he got that in there and was taping it so blatantly? They did dedicate a song to him. Are the misfits allowing people to record their shows?

The Misfits are featured as a band performing during some of the scenes. 2) If Caroline were to put out a Misfits tribute album, Glenn probably wouldn't have a problem with it, simply because he'd be making royalties off each song, and it would probably turn out to be a cool project. mark ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jun 1996 09:40:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Eric Snook Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #189 > Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 23:54:15 -0400 > From: torch666@aol.com > Subject: Rumor? > > Anyway, I wanted to let you all in on a secret that I heard from a > VERY reliable source.

First off its a 4 CD set, with a fiend club pin, and a nice book full of pictures and lyrics, plus an Eerie Von article on the bands history. The cds are basically all the stuff from 77 to Glenns departure. This does include just about every version of every song they did in that time. The only drawback is that its all been on past albums. BUT! The thing has been remastered, and the book itself, plus that pin, made it worth my 54.99! Sound quality is awesome and for any true fiend id suggest this as a go-getter. As for Earth AD, i also love it, this was a pioneering album for the hardcore world. I think its a great album an its one of my faves!

If you want to be included, email me. It won't be anything more than updates on what's happening with these two bands (gigs, record releases, lawsuits, births, deaths etc. . .) I'm just gonna respond to a few comments I've seen in the past few bibles. Someone (xxipppyy) mentioned that he likes the MISFITS and he doesn't care how much they fuck someone over etc... Adolph Hitler did some good things, too. He created Germany's highway system for one. He was also a good painter. So; in your sense of logic. "Hitler was a wonderful, great guy", right? We should ignore the 600 million Jews thing. Right? A scumbag is a scumbag. Period. And this from a college student. Don't you make any consideration about 'decency'. Should we forgive John Wayne Gacy, since he did do some cool artwork himself? On another note; I keep reading about the fits jumping into the audience and beating people up. But then, at the Allentown show, when a bunch of Nazi skinheads were causing trouble; what do the big-brave boys do? Do they jump into the crowd and try to fight the nasty nazis, like they did with all the other troublemakers at their shows? Or were the Nazis a bit bigger than the regular KIDS that they beat on? I'd hate to think that they're cowards. BUt then again; only a coward would do what they've been doing with me. RUNNING AWAY ! ! ! I like Ben Todd's idea for the shirt. I'd just add something to the computer screen that looks like a classic bible cover with the CG on it maybe. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jun 1996 21:09:59 PST Subject: TIMES SQUARE From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) >Date: Mon, 3 Jun 1996 23:35:24 -0400 (EDT) >From: WiCkEdKiNgWiCkEr >Subject: time square > bobby where is this ulana's place that time square is playing at >in philly? i asked like 6 people that live there and they have never >heard of it. also, will you have some undead stuff there for sale... i'd >really like to pick up a couple records... well i'm looking forward to >seeing your new band, after what you said about it sounds pretty cool. :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: >Jess Cyphers Asenath WiCkEdKiNgWiCkEr >cyphersj@polaris.ncs.nova.edu The show has been moved to a bigger, better club now.

BOBBY STEELE ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 11:17:04 -0500 (CDT) From: David Arthur Aufox Subject: chicago show well i would have written earlier, but i was away from my account for a few days. anyways to that guy talking about metal being dead. no i don't call those bands alternative so i can like them. one i don't like alternative, but alternative is better than those bands by far. those bands are terrible and i wouldn't listen to them regardless of what they were labled. you're right those bands play metal, and that is why they are terrible bands. metal is crap period. as far as they chicago shows goes, i know have figured out why so many punks are not into this list and not interested in the misfits anymore... and why metalheads have taken thier place. the first band was tied with trailer hitch for the worst band i have ever seen. anthrax well as i have said before they broke up a while ago, but somebody forgot to inform them.... they were terrible... after seeing them play i was embarssed for the misfits to be o the same bill (i wasn't aftyer i left) it is amazing that bands still has somebody willing to put out its lps. as far as the misfits go. the intro with the films was cool. as was dedicating come back to some misfits fan who died. that was about the only thing that they did right. mike graves sounds exactly like glenn, it isn't his fault, that is the wasy he sings. i thought that jerry and doyle were looking for someone with his own presense? well they found someone who sounds and looks like glenn. (not his fault) but it is the fault of jerry and doyle for doing it and trying to replace glenn with himself. he moved exactly like glenn no origal stage pressence. that is the fualt of jerry and doyle. first mike is a pussy, he beat the shit out of a kid for flicking him off.... i was digusted to see that, as were the small number of punks at the show. the corwd loved it... typical metalhead neanderthal responce.to make things worse, one of the chicken shit pussy roadies, came out while the security was beating up the guy and kided him in the face, fgor no reason. what a pussy.... i am glad he had to prove hjis toughness to the crowd.... shit i bet he was hoping the metalheads would make him a saint. they probably did. didn't anthrax actually speak out against voilence, and get a godd corwd responce.... metalheads will support anything their idols do, that is why 98% of the people on this list concider the misfits to be infailible. they arn't nothing and no one is, maybe you will leanr that someday. secuirty. another point. obviously jerry doesn't care about that fans like he says he does. sure sign autographe for ever that is the easy way out from actually caring about their saftey. lesson for all people not from chicago or not fmailiar with it (including many on this list who live here) sercurity is notorius for beating up on fans. that is why they aren't around so much. i knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as i saw them there. they beat the shit out of people for no reason. one guy was getting crushed athrown into security beat the shit out him.... old metalheads. sorry but bands that play all music have taken actaion against that. most don't have secuirity at their shows, and as a result have had almost no incidents at all, and have no major ones to boot. the bollwe3evils one time at the metro did a year ago. secruity was there and was beating people up. bollweevils stopped the show in mid song 5 songs into their set. they spoke out against it and left. i respoected that b/c they care for their fans, and will not allow thier music to be the soundtrack for people getting beaten to. i have heard peral jam does the same. obvioiusly the misfits (jerry and doyle) could care less about their saftey of their fans. they didi nothing, thery even had mike add to it. i was very disgusted. musicly they were terrible, probably the tightest they everb had been. but chud has got to go he sufered the largest burden on why they were terrible hat night. he drums as if he was in slayer and the drums were terrible as a result. the drums were out of place with the music. the music sounded metalized like earth ad. for the first time ever i have said a bnd butchered their own songs. the mifits did. they riun everything. i stood there looking at the band thinking "wow that's jerry and doyle they used to be in the misfits" whatever that band was they weren't the misfits, they were a metal band with a glenn imitation (not mike's fault). it was terrible, now i know why they toured with other bad metal bands. they are no longer a punk band. pure and simle they play bad metal. they have done the unthinkible they have taken excellent songs and truned them to shit. i now no why there are so many metalheadfs who like them ever since metallica cluded the idiots on to them..... everthing makes sense now and is far worse than i could have imagined. to anyone who knows the band. i would hope you would covay my thoughts on them and their stance to fan saftey at their shows. many poeple who have liked the band long before metallica covered them left the show after seeing mike hit that guy and the way the secruity was treating the crowd. metalheads expect it and don't no any better, but that ignorance isn't unversal. also if someone is going to respond to this post, and if you velieve the misfits or antything is infailiible don't expect a responce. it isn't worth it. i am digusted with the the new incarnation of the misfits. -dave ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 17:08:01 -0500 (CDT) From: "C. Sylvester" Subject: MiSFiTS CHICAGO! Sorry about the delay in this...working a lot... and please excuse my text editor... :) Just got back from the Chicago show at the VIc! It was the *best*! I wish I knewthe setlist, but there was no way for me to keep track... Obviously they opened with "Halloween", and the closer was "Die Die My Darling". They dedicated the last 3 encore songs...Other songs: "Hatebreeders"", "We Are 138", "Last Caress", "Vampira", "Hollywood Babylon", "London Dungeon", "Attitude", "Night of the Living Dead", "20 Eyes", "I Turned Into a Martian", "Teenagers From Mars", "Horror Hotel", "Violent World", "Devil's Whorehouse", "Death Comes Ripping", "Children in Heat", "Return of the Fly", "Hunger", "Blacklight", "Static Age", "Ghouls Night Out", "Astro Zombies", "Skulls", "TV Casualty", "Hybird Moments", "Bullet", "All Hell Breaks Loose", "Hatebreeders", and I'm sure I missed a few in there... They got cut off by the curfew, and they wanted to do more.. :( Jerry promised us "Where Eagles Dare", but as I said, time ran out... I can swear that there were 3 encore songs, but I can only remember "Come Back" and then "Die Die My Darling"... Michale wore the Crimson Ghost skeleton makeup for the FIRST time tontie...he said they were talking about it for a while, and then he finally decided to do it tonite... I was actually surprised at Anthrax...they were actually decent... The pit, at the show, was just BRUTAL. I'm soooo glad that I got up against a railing or I would have been destroyed... The band itself was incredible...the only flaw in the sound that I could pick out was that the vocals were not mixed high enough...but oh well..it was still cool... Michale got dragged into the crowd about 3 songs into the set and some guy tore his shirt in half and they had an exchange of words... after the show he said he didn't care, but that he always gave people 'the finger' as a way of kinda saying 'what's up?', but apparently this guy in the crowd took it the wrong way...I saw a ton of people get pulled out and kicked out...I'm glad security had a handle on what was going on... A few notes on the crowd...there were some HARDCORE people, or so it seemed out there... mohawks, spiked hair, makeup, the whole works... well, during the show when it was 'quieter', I'd scream out something like "is anyone on the bible?" and of course it'd get super loud again, so I realized that this was pointless... then, the show ended, and the bouncers started to clear out people and we were getting pushed, so as a last i effort i screamed out, "is anyone on the Bible?!"...and to my amazement there were people yelling "Yeah, Bible...!" and so I walked over there and asked and that is when I was introduced to 'gouge3' and it was cool... so we chatted and he then told me that jerry was sitting at the bar behind us...so we went up there, and found jerry admist a huge crowd of people, as he was signing all kindsa stuff and kissing all the girls there..hehe.. so then i was talking to jerry and i mentioned the Bible and blah blah blah... how i was one of the people who helped mark in setting it up andfinding 'detective' stuff like out etc etc and we was very appreciative of the 'net and everyone...very cool! and then after that, I SWEAR he yelled something to me like, "Hey! If any of you Bible people wanna come on to St. Louis with us, find us during soundcheck..." or something and I was just amazed. We then went with 'gouge3' to outside the venue to hunt for the tour bus, but alas, there was 2 tour busses... we again were being pushed away from the venue, and we got split up, but i'd told him that i'd be right in that same spot, in the front... I then saw that I had some time to kill, so I went and squeezed back in to get a t-shirt. As I waited in line they kept kicking people out again, and they locked the doors etc. They were waiting only on the poeple who were in the line to buy stuff, which I was... Then all of a sudden Chud appears out of nowhere behind me and we chatted and did the autograph thing... Then Michale appears right next to the vending stand and I approached him and talked with him for a bit...asked about the 'net stuff, current tour, anthrax stuff, 'black light' single (which michale hopes for to be released in November), the makeup, Glenn, etc... Very very nice guy, and was so polite to everyone and so open ...he also "ordered" me to post and review the show... He said, "Like, you know, if you liked it or hated it..." And we all were like, 'who could HATE *THIS*!?" But he just kinda shruged and laughed... :) Very cool... I was in there about half an hour, and I already talked to Jerry, and he still hadn't come down, so we decided to talk off, so I'm not sure if Jerry and / or Doyle came down. I was very impressed with the show. Everyone seemed very confident, as if it was their 'era' once again... Michale's voice was powerful, and similar to Glenn's and yet different...it was a perfect mix...I was just SHOCKED when he jumped off a two speaker high stack into the crowd, and he was just in front of me... Then later twords the end, Michale jumped in and Jerry followed...it was so cool...and then Jerry landed by me and we chatted...it was just a TON of fun...very powerful band, plus I liked the way of the new songs sounded...As I asked about the 'Black Light' single, Michale said, "You heard it tonite!" Hehe... I also met a female that is on the Bible here, but I am unsure of your name... Hi! It was nice to meet you and 'gouge3'... I also gave info out to 2 people about the Bible, so we make grow yet again.. :) In fact, Michale stopping giving autographs and gave me his pen so I could write it down...seems like it was the only pen around...hehe... One guy it turns out I knew from the local bbs scene *years* ago... small world, eh? It was a GREAT show, and the guys were SO cool to their fans, it just makes it all that better... Oh yeah! and some lady was taping it, or at least parts of it (?) from the [facing the stage] left balcony... remember when Michale climbed up to the balcony and dove? that one... and a small story about that... Anyone who was there noticed that Michale was up there for kinda a long time... After the show he was talking about it and I guess in that time span he slammed a beer and the doved! heh Howdy to all out there! Visit my MiSFiTS graphical discography page...it's linked on the Central page... I finally printed it out for the first time on a color laser printer tonite and it makes a nice reference book or just cool info to stare at... blah blah blah... ... the show ROCKED! Still looking for people for 'rare' stuff trades, etc... I shall be getting some uncirculated material soon...e-mail if you have something similar... - Carl (csylvest@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 15:41:53 -0700 From: Skippy Subject: West Coast (First Post) This is my first post to the bible and also a new listener of the Misfits I have been listening for about 6 months and am learning a bunch of shit about them through the bible. I have one question are the Misfits coming out to Southern California? Skippy ------------------------------ From: Gouge3@aol.com Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 19:57:31 -0400 Subject: Stuff... David "Anti-metal" Aufox --- I won't take up a lot of room responding to your whining about metal and The Whale again (see my comments a few issues ago) because it really has nothing to do with The Misfits. But I do want the rest of the fiends in the world to realize that your opinion is ONLY ONE opinion in 4 million regarding the Chicago clubs in which The Misfits would have fit in at. They kicked ass at The Vic and could have done it at The Whale too. The Whale ruled (yes - you can be happy that I've used past tense - it shut down on 6/9/96 thanks to the lack of support for local bands around Chicago). Just thought I'd make your day with that info. Nick Colella --- was there a second Chicago show I didn't know about? It sounds like we weren't at the same show. I thought that Michale handled himself pretty well with that fuck in the crowd. I also believe that his shirt didn't get "ripped off" until he jumped in the crowd from the balcony - it didn't get "ripped off" during that confrontation. I also didn't see him with a bloody nose. I even met him after the show and he was totally fine. BTW, I don't think he's a "pussy" at all. His stage prescence was phenomenal and after the show he was very humble and obliging to the fiends waiting for him. Glenn who? Just want to make sure that correct info is floating around here. I believe that we all deserve to hear the truth (or at least both sides to the story). Remember what Bobby said about believing everything you read... Gouge comes ripping. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 23:06:50 PST Subject: torch. moron or joker?? From: "Jay P." Hey torch! is that a joke or are you really an idiot??

I have now just got my own system to start emailing with. But there is so much stuff here great job Mark. Not only can you get Misfits stuff but, all the related bands. Maybe Im obsessed but I print out all the info from the page, articles, updates, pictures, and the discography. I have them all in a big book. If you cant afford this or dont have a good printer, just go to a local college computer center, and print away. What a God send this page is I mean no more spending the big $$$ for bootlegs, just go to the collectors page and there it is. And if you want to get a boot you can find out just what you are getting from the discography. I have never seen anything that is not in there. One thing I want to say is that there is too much complaining going on here. I mean there is so much cool stuff going on , so why bother with all the bitching. Also some of you are very uncomprimising, I mean who cares if the misfits are touring with Anthrax! Anthrax wont make the misfits play bad, so who cares! I mean the box set and all that has happened could never run its course, I mean I find somthing new to ponder all the time. Like what does everybody think is the better track between the ones on the sessions disc and what made it to the actual records. What is the difference between guitarists , drummers??? I mean bobby a bit twangy and a bit more stylized, as with franche but more thunderous, and doiyle speed and crunch! What do you guys think is the best. Even though all fit respectivelly in each album. So just a thought here from a new guy, and yes I have read the back issues, I get enough the more the better! And Im not ashamed to say I dig Anthrax, and Glenn still has it in my mind Glenn on a bad day is better then most at their best. later Hybrid child ------------------------------ From: MR JOSEPH F MARINO Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 23:07:23, -0500 Subject: Devil's Rain Hey fiends...Just thought I'd drop in for a few quick replies and then I'm out. I haven't posted in a while so I just wanted to get my two cents in. To Punkerdr...Buy the box set it is worth it. There is a whole CD which is all studio sessions and outtakes. Plus, it has the never before released Static Age album. Just having all the songs compiled in one package is worth it to me. The guy who wrote about the video from the Stone Poney on 5/3...What was the name of the store where you got it from? Also the guy who wrote about Rockabilia or something like that...How do I get in touch with them to get a catalog or something. Thanks Torch666...I hope your post was a joke. Anyway, music is music stop categorizing. Some is good and some is bad...Earth A.D. is incredible...Michale Graves kicks ass. PERIOD.

Hmm... seems pretty strange to me? I was at three shows and at the stone poney show michale got into a fight with a heckler from the audiance, well when he went into the crowd Jerry and Doyle went over as soon as it happenned. And we all know about the Toronto show. I dont think the brothers would allow anyone to live if they seriously beat up Michale. As a matter of fact when I was at the cleveland show afterwards talking with Michale, he joked about how when people start trouble with him they are pinned right up front and in his words ãFree Shotsä. So maybe you saw what you wanted to see. Anyways I was surfing the net, the other day and saw some Danzig pages. Now what they said there was that danzig 5 was due out late summer, the players are: Glenn-vocals, bass Joey castillo- drums Jerry Cantrelle- guitar Now I thought Jerry cantrelle was only doing a few trax, but That is the word on all these pages. If anyone knows anymore please post. later, D-Rod ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jun 1996 00:49:25 -0700 From: C Farrell Subject: Roseland Hey fiendz! anyone else going to the Roseland show on the 28th??

Subject: To the Bible Hey fiends it's time to get cracking on your artwork. To put it simply if you can draw well, and you want in on a chance for your artwork to be the front of the Misfits Bible t-shirt then it's time to take your shot. This is what it boils down to: 1) Short sleeves is what they want - 15 - 8 2) Image by a land slide is the Crimson Ghost doing something - reading a bible, infront of a computer came up several times, even a cartoon CG with little glowing pumpkins who have devil locks. So the image is up to you as long as the Crimson Ghost is part of it. 3) Image goes on the front logo on the back. Front made it 9-6. 4)Text is the Misfits Bible, or i have a couple sayings: Kennedy is the Reason, 750 Corpses Can't Be Wrong( i had to switch it from 3000 since we don't have that many members, YET, 138 on the sleeve So its up to the artists to create the main image now and i hope to see the pictures coming in by this weekend ***ABSOLUTLY*** Saturday. No lazy crap, no well i didn't have the time, no there was something good on TV. If you want the shot at the shirt you put the hours into the work. After this you must send your art to MARK, YES MARK since he will put it on the shirt page in the Misfits web page. When all of the art is their i will post the time to vote. You will have a certain amount of time to e-mail me with you fave design for the main image. So let's get working. Good luck to all of you. If you have any questions about what you are drawing drop me a line. Later little fiendies!?!
