[feedyourhead]

cheers.

[Skidmark Steve]

im going to see the misfits in october i think

[Bruce_Forsyth]

Im going to see them in a month

[RetiredAt21]

You aren't really seeing the Misfits, you are seeing the Newsfits.

[whiteminority]

Why? That's a waste of money to watch Jerry Only try to milk you for all the cash he can get with crappy songs that the his version has put out.

[whiteminority]

You aren't really seeing the Misfits, you are seeing the Newsfits.
Pieceof****fits is more like it.

[RetiredAt21]

Hahahaha, that was amazing.

[antiflagsetsfire]

The Misifits didn't really bring anything new to the punk scene. Their music is rather generic just with a darker tone. The only song I really like by them is Saturday Night. Most of their other stuff is just boring crap.

Blashphemer! The Misfits heavily influenced hundreds of bands

[squirreleater]

i really wish that the Misfits ended when glenn left...i really think the new and middle misfits were totally different, and didnt deserve to be "the misfits"...i also think danzig is a great vocalist, which is why i reccomend his other bands...none of them are like the misfits...they are like slow and brooding... :\

you say slow and brooding as if that is a bad thing. Samhain > Danzig.

[(r)evolution]

are you kidding? Danzig by far.

[whiteminority]

to hell with that samhain is better than danzig. not saying danzig is bad (one of my favorites) but samhain was much better.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

No friggin ways man, The Misfits are a massive influence on the whole scene, just run up a search on all the new age punk bands who've covered their stuff. Everyone from Social Distortion to AFI have ripped off a Misfits song. And the dark/horror punk thing they started is my favourite subculture by far, everything my band writes is in some way inspired by the misfits. Although I will agree that Samhain are ****kicking, "All Murder, All Guts, All Fun" is a sweet song. Danzig are pretty good too, "Mother", "Am I Demon" and "13" are my personal favourites

[RIP Ian Curtis]

but I wouldn't bother with any Misfits album, none of them are solid good enough, just get the boxed set or steal it all off the internet to stop the poxy new lineup getting any cash.

[RetiredAt21]

"Descent" is my favorite Samhain song. Samhain are way better than the Misfits.

[Bruce_Forsyth]

I dont really get all the 'lets hate the new misfits' stuff, i've not seen the original lineup live so i can't compare properly, and obviously danzig was a better singer, but the new misfits are a fun band to watch, sure their not the greatest or most original, but if i was wanting original music all the time then i probably wouldn't listen to punk.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

fair point bruce. But you gotta admit that Jerry Only is a money grabbing arsehole. And being only 18 and living in Australia means that I never have, and probably never will see the misfits live...

[i_am_zombie_jesus]

Anoybody hear about Danzigs new album?

He's taking a bunch of Misfits songs and re doing them lounge style.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I didn't know that was Danzig, I thought it was the Misfits? But yeah I heard about it, called "Fiend Club Lounge". Sounds cool, especially if you like Richard Cheese

[antiflagsetsfire]

Blashphemer! The Misfits heavily influenced hundreds of bands

like who?

[RetiredAt21]

AFI, Metallica, Samhain, etc...

[whiteminority]

Slayer, Slipknot, and even those bastards Blink-182 were influenced by the Misfits.

[RetiredAt21]

Samhain being the best out of those. Oh, I forgot about Son of Sam. Also a great band. I wish they'd put out another album, that'd be sweet.

[antiflagsetsfire]

Slayer, Slipknot, and even those bastards Blink-182 were influenced by the Misfits.

Then it would have been better for the misfits to not have existed.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

following that line of reasoning it would have been better for Iggy Pop not to have been born because if it wasn't for him there wouldn't be punk and thus there wouldn't be pop-punk. you can't blame people for who they influence

[AIRIC]

American Psycho>Static Age

Graves>Danzig.

I can take rocks thrown at me, ****ers.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

*throws bricks*

nah you're about right I suppose. I just download all of my misfits, so I don't particularly care about albums, I just make compilations of all the songs I happen to like.

[RetiredAt21]

Actually,

Danzig>>>>>>>>>Graves

By far.

[I_AM_MEXICAN]

word

[Steerpike]

I wonder how many people are saying "Danzig>Graves" just to sound cool.

I really understand why everyone has to be so stuck up about this. Admit it, Graves is a very talented vocalist. Like him or not, the man can sing. And his style really brought out the 50's rock influence in the band's music, which I like.

As much as I love Danzig, he's human as well, and has made some bad albums himself. I really believe that a lot of people are just glorifying him and dissing Graves to sound more tr00... or whatever the hell it is punks call it. I don't know, I'm a metalhead.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

yay for steerpike. i'd agree with the 50's rock influence thing, that is something i dig heavilly in the misfits. And who cares if Graves isn't a screaming leftwing hippie, Johnny Ramone was a republican party member all his life, it's not like the misfits or the ramones ever really pushed a politcal idea

[Steerpike]

I think Graves' personal politics is only part of it. Truth is, it seems a lot of people dismiss Graves as inferior for the sole fact that he's not the original singer.

I've seen a lot of similar crap in R&M as well, and it's all the same bullshit reasoning. People are just too married to the diea of a particular line-up, and blind themselves to the virtues of another.

[RetiredAt21]

I think Danzig sucks for the most part, but his stuff with the Misfits is a million times better than what Graves did with the Misfits. I doubt anyone is saying it "to be cool."

[Steerpike]

I doubt anyone is saying it "to be cool."

Don't be too quick on that. Remember that stupidity is ubiquitous and never discriminates. Punks, rockers, metalheads, ska fans, blues hipsters, jazz junkies... No matter what genre you look into, there's always someone who's going to make dumbass remarks to sound more competent and "pure."

[RetiredAt21]

Well, mostly everyone agrees that the Misfits with Danzig were way better than the Misfits with Graves. With Graves, they weren't really punk anymore, they were on the verge of metal.

[Steerpike]

(shrugs) I didn't really notice, nor did I really care. I really like the music from both eras. Both had their virtues. Good music is good music.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

yeah i think i'm down with that. i do enjoy Project 1950's

[Steerpike]

Meh... Project 1950 has some good songs on it, but mostly left me cold. Of their new work, I liked American Phsycho the best.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

the music on project 50's wasn't so hot. but i dug the concept and it's inspired me to rework some classic stuff

[Abandon all hope]

I personally could care less, i give glenn much respect for bieng the origional, and graves has a decent voice.

[owlandtree]

I liked the old Misfits for a lot of reasons. One of them being the period of my life when I discovered punk and self expression. I still like listening to old Misfits. What I have heard of the new Misfits I don't really like. Without Danzig (Even though I detest his cheesy solo ego-metal) the Misfits are "the shadow of the Misfits".

[RIP Ian Curtis]

i like how graves is more melodic

[Steerpike]

Well, Danzig has a very ghoulish crooning voice. He sounds like he could be equally at home in a jazz band as a punk or metal group. The Elvis-impersonator accent also adds a little levity and gives his singing a sort of dark humor to it, even in his solo work which can get pretty heavy lyrically.

Graves has more of a 50's rocker howl. Like Danzig, he clearly draws influence from rockabilly and classic rock, but his voice is smoother, more lulling. He can still get a good rock 'n' roll voice going when he needs to, but his true strength is in his sustain and dynamics.

So, to sum it up:

-Danzig has a more aggressive voice, and is able to shift easily between clean and dirty vocals with a crooning tone that gives him a sort of classical, sinister sound.
-Graves is like a classic rock singer who has a blues-inspired howl designed to milk as much feel out of each note as possible.

I think they're both great in their own ways.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

*applauds*

[RetiredAt21]

The only songs with Graves that I like are Helena, Dig Up Her Bones, Scream, Scarecrow Man, Forbidden Zone, Saturday Night, and Fiend Club.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

i like Descending Angel.

*cowers in fear*

[RetiredAt21]

I forgot about that song, I like that one too.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Phew, i thought i'd get blasted, coz noone else seems to have mentioned it. I love it, the spooky "woooooohs" in the background definately cheese my biscuit

[antiflagsetsfire]

following that line of reasoning it would have been better for Iggy Pop not to have been born because if it wasn't for him there wouldn't be punk and thus there wouldn't be pop-punk. you can't blame people for who they influence

Very illogical argument. The Misifts gave birth to bands like Blink 182, slipknot, and slayer. Iggy, although indirectly gave birth to pop-punk, he did directly give birth to almost the entire punk scene. With Iggy, you take the good with the bad. With The Misfits, you take the bad with the crappy.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

i don't mind slayer myself, although i agree that the other two bands are terrible. There's got a to be a good band somewhere that is Misfits influenced...

[Oz Rembrandt]

I love the Misfits, they're one of my favourite bands.

Graves and Danzig are both awesome in my eyes.

[Steerpike]

Slipknot also site Alice Cooper as an influence. Does that mean we should Hate Alice Cooper, too?

It's silly to hate a band because of who they ended up influencing. As if they have any control over it. :rolleyes:

[imnotamusician]

recently i started to play with my ps2 again, and i was finishing san andreas for like the 5th time. you know how they have radio stations, i think danzig was singing. was he?

[imnotamusician]

graves sucks

[RIP Ian Curtis]

your right imnot, danzig performs "mother" (his best song) on Radio X

[RetiredAt21]

Danzig has a couple good songs. Mother, Twist of Cain...and...well, I guess that's it.

[Steerpike]

Danzig has a couple good songs. Mother, Twist of Cain...and...well, I guess that's it.

Devil's Plaything, Not of This World, She Rides, How the Gods Kill...

Maybe if people listened to something other than the radio singles.

[whiteminority]

Then it would have been better for the misfits to not have existed.
maybe it would be better if you werent ****ing born you son of a bitch. even if the misfits werent around we would still have blink-182 being ****ty but maybe its the misfits influence from being even ****tier than they already are... and besides the misfits are for many countless number of kids their first stepping stone into punk rock. my first punk rock song ever was "we are 138" by the misfits when i was 12. the misfits not existing would have meant the denial of one punks best lead singers ever.

[RetiredAt21]

When was Twist of Cain ever on the radio? Oh, I forgot the song Snakes of Christ. That's really good. I forgot about How the Gods Kill too, that's a good'n.

[Steerpike]

I thought it was made into a single. Could be wrong, though. At any rate, it's one of those songs practically everybody knows. I've known some people who think the first album is all he ever did.

[RetiredAt21]

I think up to his 3rd album was good, pretty much anything after that sucked balls.

[whiteminority]

New Danzig is pretty cool.

[RetiredAt21]

I used to like this one song off of his 7th album, it kinda reminded me of The Beautiful People, but it didn't suck like The Beautiful People does.

Stfu you little ****. The Misfits brought nothing new to the punk scene except a slightly darker tone. Instead of talking about rebellion and the topics of great punk rock bands like The Sex Pistols, The Addicts, Clash, and Old Bad Religion music, they talked about blood, zombies, and killing. In my opinion, they shouldn't even be classified as Punk Rock, considering Punk Rock started off as music to get away from the mainstream, talking about rebellion and fighting the system. Not about zombies, blood, and killing people.

[RetiredAt21]

AntiFlagSetsFire...hmm...I wonder what bands he likes? He probably listens to new Anti Flag and Boy Sets Fire. LAME.

Huh. That post made me think... about how it used to be acceptable for music to just be fun.

I was always taught to believe that you didn't have to be an angry political activist to play punk. I thought the genre was started as a statement that you didn't need to have a major label or years of schooling in a conservatory to make good music.

[RetiredAt21]

AntiFlagSetsFire is obviously an idiot.

[Zion Gates]

can we close this thread, its a waste of space and its not going anywhere...we are even bringing in pop punk kids
example: Oz Rembrant

[RetiredAt21]

I think we've garnered some pretty good conversation in this thread.

[Anarchy&Peace]

anyone know the difference between static age and legacy of brutality? besides a few more tracks? or are they completely different recordings?

[pimpy the pirate]

Graves is just a big danzig copy off. He probably is more tanlented than most of these people in this thread thinks but he didn't belong in the misfits, and yes jerry only is sorta on ashole for stubbornly trying to keep the misfits alive, but i like him better than graves. at least he's not a copy off. They still played a pretty dam good show w/ jerry, dez, and marky. I think they should just give it up because theyre not really "the misfits" anymore. Theyre like a whole punk band reunion tour thing. i wish danzig would go back to the misfits :(

[Steerpike]

...or just change their name to The Black Ramfits.

Anyways, I think The Misfits are legenedary for a reason. They had fun with their music.
I don't why fans and fiends harsh so much on the big 96' line-up change, the "original" Misfits went through 10 different band line-ups before the called it quits in 83'. Just ask Diane DiPiaza, Jimmy Battle, Manny, Franché Coma, Mr. Jim, Rick Riley, Bobby Steele, Joey Image, Arthur Googy, Todd Swalla, and Brian Damage (all "original" Misfits). Glenn Danzig is not an easy man to work with.
....I had more to say but I just lost it.

You are quite the fool. Just because they wanted to do somthing different makes them poesers or somthing? You just make yourself sound so stupid... :rolleyes:

You could have done that without making a complete *** of yourself.

"RAR! Punk is about sticking it to The Man, not zombies!! GRRROOOOAAOWWWOOAOAOAOAOARRRR!!!"

Just shut up before you embarass yourself any further.

[RetiredAt21]

Does anyone else think that Samhain are better than the Misfits?

[RIP Ian Curtis]

i like them both for the same reasons. Especially because i can dance around and sing all murder, all guts, all fun.

Antiflagsetsfire, you're an arse. Even the most political of the proto-punk bands (The MC5, maybe you've heard of them?) were only about chaning society through "drugs, rock and roll and f'ucking in the streets", to quote their manager. The first band to really bring politics into the whole thing was the Clash, doing their rock against racism thing. Before that, punk was just about kicking it to ****ty prog-rock hippies and having a good time making fast, fun music. All of my songs are about blood, zombies and killing. I write that kind of song because I don't give 3 fu'cks about the government and I'm not going to pretend I do just to conform to your ideas of what's "punk". I like to hear songs about zombies, blood and killing, I like to write songs about zombies, blood and killing and I like to play songs about zombies, blood and killing. So f'uck you very much.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

does anyone else like "The Shining" by the Misfits? It's been stuck in my head for days and the words keep re-arranging themselves.

[RockRevival]

I don't really mean to screw up the flow of the topic, but this is the best place to post it.

What Misfits album should I buy?

I have Walk Among Us (And American Psycho, but 1 Graves album is enough for me).

[RIP Ian Curtis]

get the box set. it comes in a coffin. I bought the "Die Die My Darling" 12" single today.

[Steerpike]

If you get the box set, you better have a nice paycheck coming that week. It's a real kick in the nards when you see the price.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

true. I'm not really an albums cat, which one would you recommend pike?

[Harper Only]

--------------------- don't bother reading
I am a huge Misfits fan, they are pretty much my favorite band. And by misfits I mean during the old danzig times.

Even though I hate how Only is just using the Misfits name to get himself some more money, but I still go to see him in concert. Its a decent show and they play mostly all of the old greats and a few of the decent new songs. As well as some black flag, *and Ramones when I saw them, while Marky was the drummer*

Danzigs solo stuff isnt that good, hes only made like 3 good songs off like what 5 albums? But I am still going to see him in concert in October when hes with Doyle for a Misfits set at MSG.

-------------------------------------------------- Bull**** all of the above don't bother reading.


Anyways, this is to the maker of this topic, forget static age even though you probably bought it already. Go get walk amoung us, it is there best cd by far. Static age is good, it does have Last Caress.

1. Walk Amoung Us
2. Legacy of Brutatality * dont bother getting if you have static age, its pretty much the same album with a few differnt tracks, Where Eagles Dare, who killed Marilyn.
3. Earth A.D. if your into metal get it
4. Static Age- Its a cd with mostly great singles.
5. Evilive- a live cd that is pretty much hilarious.

[Britney Diva]

2. Legacy of Brutatality * dont bother getting if you have static age, its pretty much the same album with a few differnt tracks, Where Eagles Dare, who killed Marilyn.

Where Eagles Dare is my favourite of the Danzig-era tunes.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Hmmm, I couldn't pick a favourite...

[Steerpike]

true. I'm not really an albums cat, which one would you recommend pike?

My three favorites woudl have to be Walk Among Us, Static Age, and American Psycho, in no particular order.

Harper Only: Danzig's doing a gig with Doyle? I'm really pissed now that I won't get to see that.

I have to ask though, does this mean Doyle's going to be getting back into performing soon? As I said earlier, I believe he went on hiatus because he and his wife had their first child so he wanted to spend time with his family.

[Britney Diva]

Doyle must be in his 50's now. He left the family thing a bit late.

[Steerpike]

I think he's in his late 40's. I read somewhere that when he made his first recording with the band, he was like 17 or 18. Wouldn't be too much of a stretch. When the Misfits started out, they were a bunch of young guys who could barely play their instruments at all.

[Britney Diva]

And he was huge even then :eek:

[Steerpike]

Small wonder he based his stagename after Boris Karloff's most famous role.

Reminds me a little of that one Punks & Nerds comic.

BRAD: Jesus, dude! What are you, like a million feet tall?
BRUCEMAN: A million feet tall of AWESOOOMMMMEEE!!

[Britney Diva]

hahaha sounds like something I'd say, which probably doesn't reflect well upon me.

[RetiredAt21]

Doyle is huge. What a beastly, yet sexy fellow.

[Steerpike]

Found the comic I was thinking of. (http://www.punksandnerds.com/d/0058.html)

Doyle also makes a really cool zombie, as per the Scream! music video.

[RetiredAt21]

The Scream! music video was awesome.

[RetiredAt21]

Hahaha, that comic is hilarious.

[pimpy the pirate]

Stop. How is Graves copying Danzig?
im not saying he is but i think thats how jerry only kind of wanted him to be. im sure graves has better solo material and what not he just didnt belong in the misfits neither any of the lineup. But i think the newest line up (jerry,dez,robo) is a better lineup then graves and dr. chud. All in all, Danzig should be the only one being frontman in the misfits

[Steerpike]

The only similarity I can see is the classic rock influences, and the ease of which they both can switch from clean and dirty vocals.

[pimpy the pirate]

a little bit off the subject but... does anybody know what amp settings or something to make their f*cked up distorted guitar sound? I think they have the best punk guitar tone

[Original Gangsta!]

I have never really considered the misfits as punk rock

i just dont see where dead people fit in with the genre

[Steerpike]

I have never really considered the misfits as punk rock

It's stripped-down headbanging music that relies on minimalist production and ensemble.

The whole point of punk is that you don't need virtuosity to make good music. If you know enough to write a three-chord progression and carry a tune, that's good enough.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

The Misfits made the dead people fit in. They didn't before, and because punk (at least in the 70's when they formed) can take in new ideas and concepts much more readily than most other styles, it became part of the whole scene. I enjoy the dead people stuff, much more than I enjoy someone telling me I should hate the government.

[Oz Rembrandt]

no.....that made perfect sense. brilliance if that

[RetiredAt21]

No, definitely not.

What's that thing that Doyle and Jerry did? I think it was called Kryst the Konquerer. Was it any good?

[Harper Only]

I dont think they ever had a lead singer.

I would imagine it just being heavy punk, but dont really go by me.

Doyle is only 40, his birthday is coming up I believe.

Also I love Horror Punk, its one of my favorites genres.

doyle should hurry up and die, like the horse that he's been beating for the last 15 years.

[cippo]

uh. i cant understand how you can say that misfits is better than danzig, its totally different styles of music, I dont think they compete. But I have listened so much on danzig and misfits that i am getting tired of them, but if I wait three days they will be good again. FUC.K YHA !!!

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I reckon you can compare different styles of music, especially when Danzig and the Misfits are so stylistically close, they do the same kinda stuff, just Danzig went in a more metal direction and the Misfits went in more of a punk direction.

[cippo]

The Misfits made the dead people fit in. They didn't before, and because punk (at least in the 70's when they formed) can take in new ideas and concepts much more readily than most other styles, it became part of the whole scene. I enjoy the dead people stuff, much more than I enjoy someone telling me I should hate the government.

Its comfusing to say they startet out "in the 70:s" becuase they started out 79, so its pretty much the 80:s.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

79? i thought they were a 77 band? If otherwise, I stand corrected.

[cippo]

they dont do the same kind of stuff...then opeth and the beatles do the same stuff. its pretty much the same, guitars, vocals, drums...yha, but its totally different. the only thing thats the same is Glenns voice, but in misfits it was less under control. Glenn is Misfits and Danzig, at least for me...

Surely you can compare different styles of music, but dont say they are pretty much the same...thats just...wrong.

:)

[RIP Ian Curtis]

oh they're not the same, by any means. But neither are the sex pistols and the ramones and they're both still called punk and both still compared to each other. I head alot of similarities between Danzig and The Misfits. Maybe I'm just listening to the wrong Danzig...

[RetiredAt21]

You're probably listening to the wrong Danzig.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

ok, what's the right Danzig?

I dig 13, Mother, Am I Demon and How The Gods Kill.

[Steerpike]

I think the similarities you hear are in the songwriting. Danzig has a very distinctive voice as a lyricist.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

that's probably true pike...

I'll stand corrected before ignorance is my undoing.

[jsoc1]

misfits in the Uk in 2 weeks time :lol: www.gigbox.co.uk

[Mannik]

misfits in the Uk in 2 weeks time :lol: www.gigbox.co.uk

Remind me who the current Misfits lineup are?

Also, when exactly was Static age released, I've heard it was either '78 or '82, and I've also heard somewhere in the '90's, due to a ban or something.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

mannik, what's in your avatar? it looks awesome. I can read the "zombie ghost train" bit and thats got my attention.

They recorded it in January 1978 but no record company wanted to release it. Various tracks leaked out on bootlegs and compilations but it was only officially released in 1997.

[pimpy the pirate]

who has any uploads of "kryst the konquerer"? I think thats the band jerry and doyle formed after the misfits broke up

[RetiredAt21]

What kind of music do they play?

[CarrionBirds]

Skip the misfits and get Danzing, the album.

why i have the danzig album and it pretty much sucks

the misfits were so much better, get yourself walk among us and earth a.d and you're good

static age is so overrated, i dont think its that good

[RetiredAt21]

Collection 1 and 2 are pretty good.

[DaveToopes]

I can't get Last Caress out of my head. Misfits are so goddam'n catchy.

[RetiredAt21]

Last Caress is a catchy as hell song.

[Sleeper]

Hybrid Moments gets stuck in my head always.

[RetiredAt21]

My two favorite Misfits songs will always be Die Die My Darling and Death Comes Ripping. They are two br00tal trax.

[Steerpike]

I keeping getting these three songs in particular stuck in my head:

Die, Die My Darling
Where Eagles Dare
Dig Up Her Bones

[Britney Diva]

I keeping getting these three songs in particular stuck in my head:

Die, Die My Darling
Where Eagles Dare
Dig Up Her Bones

Lately I've had Helena, Dig Up Her Bones and Where Eagles Dare in constant rotation, aswell as my favourite, Walk Among Us.

[RetiredAt21]

Helena is a really good song.

[Vicious_Guitar]

My 5 favourite Misfits songs are:
Attitude
Dig Up Her Bones
Mommy can i go out and kill tonight?
last caress
Angel****
(in no order)

[Vicious_Guitar]

The best misfits album (IMO) is: Walk Among Us
The one to avoid is: American Psycho (its just too over the top)

[Bad Blood]

The misfits are playing about 20mins away from me soon. I don't think i'm going though, my mate is though.

I can't see why they're coming here, round here it's crap and quiet with crappy venues.

[LCBdroog]

misfits are amazing. im listening to collection 1 right now on vinyl. im seeing them september 30th. its going to be superb.

[RetiredAt21]

I doubt it will be superb. Not with Jerry Only doing vocals.

[doyle7von7frankenstein7]

I doubt it will be superb. Not with Jerry Only doing vocals.
if you are a fan, it will still be superb, i saw them last october right near halloween. great show

[RetiredAt21]

Do they play mostly old Misfits stuff?

[Bobby Pyn]

They recorded it in January 1978 but no record company wanted to release it. Various tracks leaked out on bootlegs and compilations but it was only officially released in 1997.
Wrong.
it was actually relleased first in the misfits box set in 1996 with 14 of the 17 songs recorded and then released on it's own in 1997 with all 17 songs.

[doyle7von7frankenstein7]

Do they play mostly old Misfits stuff?

this is what i remember them playing

hybrid moments-opener
we are 138
teenagers from mars
helena
dig up her bones
crawling eye- i really didnt expect them to play that one
a few ramones and black flag covers
couple 1950s songs
abominable dr phibes/ american phsycho
halloween
and a bunch of others i cant think of right now

[RetiredAt21]

That sounds pretty good. If they come around here, I'd go just out of curiousity, to see if they are as bad as my friends said they were.

[Arrakakaka]

Currently, I've been hooked on the song "Bullet".

[RetiredAt21]

No one can resist the charm of Bullet, it's such a great song.

[Crunchwrap Supreme!]

I like Hollywood Babylon and Horror Business better. The latter is my favorite song by them.

[RetiredAt21]

Horror Business is a great song, I like the cover that Samhain did of it.

[doyle7von7frankenstein7]

That sounds pretty good. If they come around here, I'd go just out of curiousity, to see if they are as bad as my friends said they were.

well they do sound pretty bad, but still, if you like the misfits as much as i do, its worth the money. ive been to a lot of concerts and The misfits/agent orange show is still my favorite. And Onlys voice isnt thatttt bad...

[Bobby Pyn]

Is Robo back in the band?

[Ghoul Hunter]

Static Age

[Bobby Pyn]

Static Age
what about it?

[RockRevival]

Can somebody find me a place to buy Evillive II online?

I made a topic about it, yes, but it got closed without any helpful answers.

I'm looking for a link of someplace to buy the CD.

thank you.

[RetiredAt21]

I didn't even know there was a second Evilive CD.

[pimpy the pirate]

i saw it somewhere on ebay

[Mannik]

mannik, what's in your avatar? it looks awesome. I can read the "zombie ghost train" bit and thats got my attention.

Glad you asked, Zombie Ghost Train are a pyshcobilly band from Sydney. I've been planning to make a thread on them but havn't got round to it. They just played their last show in Australia on Saturday before their first U.S tour.

Here's their website: http://www.zombieghosttrain.com/

Here's a few songs

Black, White and Dead:

[RockRevival]

I didn't even know there was a second Evilive CD.


It was released to the Fiend Club. Which is why I'm having trouble finding it.

[RetiredAt21]

Well, if it was released to the Fiend Club, it's probably pretty rare. Good luck trying to find it.

[jsoc1]

Yeah,Robbo is back in the band.Got tickets for Durham Uni.on 16th Sept.It's the last night of the U.K.Tour.

www.gigbox.co.uk

[RockRevival]

I'm thinking about going to the 10/29 show in Jersey.

[Misfit_Fiend]

Is the new line as bad as people say it is cuz if not I'll go to the toronto show in november

[mullet_monster]

Could someone recomend me some Danzig era Misfits songs to download, I already have Last Caress, We Are 138, and Where Eagles Dare, you know something like those.

[Skidmark Steve]

I'm thinking about going to the 10/29 show in Jersey.

i think i might be going to that show too :thumb:

[thepo]

Graves is coming to a show on Saturday 15 minutes away from my house with this band:

Hybrid Moments, Static Age, T.V. Casualty, Halloween

[pimpy the pirate]

what are some other horrorpunk bands that actually kinda sound like the old misfits. IMO balzac and calebrese barely sound anything like the misfits or at least the old misfits

[Brew]

I saw The Misfits in Dudley a few days ago, at the end I met Dez and Jerry and they signed my ticket. I also had a short conversation with Jerry about the sound crew which was cool :)

[shamed-angel]

Well... when I say I saw the Misfits, that is actually a huge exaggeration. I went to Newport TJ's, and I watched Adequate 7, they were absolutely incredible, as usual. They have so much energy and their songs will never ever get old! When they'd finished, there was a chant of "Jerry!" Then this band came onto the stage, and started butchering some of my favourite songs. The "Misfits", if you can even call them that anymore, took the stage and just took a back catalogue of ****ing incredible songs. And played them with such immense shitness, that myself and my girlfriend left. I went to the cloakroom, and nearly cried as I heard a steroid junkie and his backing band take apart possibly my favourite Misfits song, Astro Zombies. I left, telling Jamie from Adequate 7 that they owned, and that we were leaving. He said he thought they were really bad too. but there was the biggest crowd I'd ever seen in Tj's. And the band was shite!
I just had to get out of there. But let me say... it was well worth the £12 to see the support. Jerry Only is a cocksucking moneywhore. And I hate him for what he is doing to the legacy of quite possibly my favourite punk band ever...
To give this thread a point... What do you think of the new Misfits, and have you ever seen a legendary band this excruciatingly bad?

[superskankinactionhero]

new misfits are bollocks, my friend went to see them and left exactly like you did. adequate seven are awesome though, i know their trombone player

[Drop The Baby]

i was supposed to see the new misfits at City Invasion Tour this year but they pulled out as their drummer had trouble getting a work permit. Sounds like i shouldn't bother going to see them when they're next over here.

I don't like Adequate 7 much at all.

Adam, there was a thread on Triggerfish recently, apparently you've got the same nam,e as another band. It's proberly a couple of pages back now

[Rootsradical]

I probably wouldn't waste my money seeing them. They are just plain horrible now.

[shamed-angel]

What are you guy's favourite Misfits line-up? Mine's definately the original Graves line-up.

[lynch_me]

The amount of misfits merchandise I always see (shirts, clocks, mugs, you name it) is ridiculous.

[Misfit_Fiend]

You can even buy Misfits shoes & socks now thats really sad

[skateMASTERbater2]

They played here in july i think. I didn't bother going, not that i like the misfits too much in the first place

[AIRIC]

I like Graves better.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Misfits are playing really close to me soon, i'm not going to bother...

[Misfit_Fiend]

Why Why couldn't i've been around in the Danzig era

[S.T.I]

I was gonna go last night but it was too expensive. Ad7 are amazing live.

[40ozmickeys]

i prefer other horror stuff that misfits

[AIRIC]

Yeah, how much was the show? I'm goign to see A Wilhelm Scream, and I know that they would normally have a 10 dollar show if they were headlining, but they're touring with Pennywise, so it's ****ing $17 at the door.

[mole]

i hope you know, danzig demands ALOT of money from Jerry Only, so when you say hes a moneywhore, there's ALOT of legal reasons behind that.

If anything DANZIG is the moneywhore

[SlappedByTheClash]

They're all moneywhores. Misfits were pretty crap in the first place, I'm not surprised they suck now.

[TheNowhereman42]

I didn't even like the misfits when they had danzig, they've always been really mediocre.

[albert_bass]

You all should know I don't like the misfits much too, at least the older ones. But they do suck much more nowadays than back in the day. They used to have some decent songs.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

the misfits are/were my favourite punk band of all, no politics, no social commentary, no bullsh'it. Just murder, guts and fun.

[Brain Toad]

They're all moneywhores. Misfits were pretty crap in the first place, I'm not surprised they suck now.

This man speaks the truth.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Anyone ever seen the George A. Romero movie "Bruiser"? Has an awesome climax where the cocaine addicted sleazy bad guy gets crucified onstage at a misfits gig and gets tortured and then killed with light show lasers by the good guy? Tis an awesome film. Has the best songs of the Graves era on it too, Descending Angel etc.

[Maverick_Special]

I might go see them when they come to my town but I am not sure. I am also pissed off at how much Misfits merchandise there is out there. So many little 12 year old wanabe's weraing legacy of brutality t's and fiend club patches it sickens me.

[blackflagfiend]

Why Why couldn't i've been around in the Danzig era
the truth. i saw them live last april. They wern't too bad, they played a lot of their old stuff and they only played about 5 of their new songs(cap songs). Even though jerry is a greedy arsehole, im more pleased to see an orginal member fronting than graves

[Skidmark Steve]

I didn't even like the misfits when they had danzig, they've always been really mediocre.

123...

probably my favorite band name tho

[AGAINSTME!'sbass]

The Misfits are playing near me on the 23rd

[Theramed]

the misfits are/were my favourite punk band of all, no politics, no social commentary, no bullsh'it. Just murder, guts and fun.

Thats why i never liked them more than an average band. just nothng to relate to or think about

[blackflagfiend]

Thats why i never liked them more than an average band. just nothng to relate to or think about
so they're lyrics are still sick and that's what they're known for, just to have a good time

[bassplayer199two]

Dude, the Misfits are one of my favorite bands. But without Glen Danzig, they arent the Misfits. So my opinion to do is, just forget about the fact that they are still a band. I just listen to there old stuff only. Listening to the new Misfits just pisses me off, so... I just think of it like they broke up when Danzig split. Dude, its the same idea with DK and Jello. Same concept...

[Misfit_Fiend]

If i was god i would reunite Misfits, Dead Kennedys , Black Flag, bring the Ramones back to life Same with Joe Strummer & a whole bunch of other bands that would take to long to list. But thats just me

[Buzzbomb]

God don't exsist

[Misfit_Fiend]

In theory yes, in practice also yes ya you got me no god.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Thats why i never liked them more than an average band. just nothng to relate to or think about

fair enough. I don't mind a little politics thrown in from some people. For example the Dead Kennedys can get away with it. But lamers like Anti-Flag are, I feel, just jumping on the bandwagon and their views are, at best, half baked.

[max_facekick]

My band is playing a halloween show and all the bands are "going" as a different band. So far there are bands doing DK covers, Minor Threat covers, Alkaline Trio covers, and we opted for the Misfits. I thought it would be fitting for a band to go as the Misfits for a Halloween show. I'm trying to decide on a final setlist though..... (obviously we are gonna play "halloween.") Any ideas on how to fill out our setlist? I don't wanna play just stereotypical Misfits covers (i.e. Last Caress, Attitude, Where Eagles Dare)

Maybe Demonomania? Astro Zombies? Fiend Club?

[albert_bass]

American Psycho. That's one of their only songs I love.

[shamed-angel]

I'm not a huge fan of Danzig era Misfits, I prefer Graves... Better songs, better production, better singer...

last caress,we are 138, die die my darling, i turned into a martion, hatebreeders,wolfsblood etc. look at the songs on collection I and II to see their most famous songs.

Back on subject, either the misfits should get danzig back (or atleast Doyle) back in the band or they sould just call it quits

[Maverick_Special]

Back on subject, either the misfits should get danzig back (or atleast Doyle) back in the band or they sould just call it quits

Yeah they need Danzig or the better stop kidding themselves.

This is a little off topic but I am curious...why did DK break up. I just recently got into them so I don't know a lot about their history. Is their ever any chance of them reuniting? Just wondering...could someone please clear this up for me. thanks

[nEwYoRkHaRdCoRe---]

my friend is about to give me his 'famous monsters' cd...can anyone tell me what to expect with it?

[AIRIC]

Don't expect anything good with the Misfits.

[nEwYoRkHaRdCoRe---]

i dont know.... dig up her bones, skulls, halloween, she, and last caress i really like....but that cd is some of their newer stuff, which NO ONE here approves of....

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Yeah they need Danzig or the better stop kidding themselves.

I don't know much either but I think it had something to do with the big legal action against Jesus Christ Inc, because it had pictures of willys in it. Blame Al Gore's worthless slut bitch whore wife.

[Misfit_Fiend]

That was the Frankenchrist ablum

god **** tipper gore

[RIP Ian Curtis]

That's the album, always get confused. Funny how I can say bitch slut and whore but d'amn is censored.

[Misfit_Fiend]

i know, ya the whole scandle was about that picture with the as$es getting ****ed by the di*cks. it was like distrubiting p*rn to minors

[RIP Ian Curtis]

she also f'ucked up Twisted Sister. Who own.

[Misfit_Fiend]

and frank Zappa

after the whole perental warrning stickers had to be put on CD's

one was put on a Frank Zappa cd that was all intramential music

I wonder if she had a hand in that :confused:

[RIP Ian Curtis]

yeah? I didn't know that, that sucks pretty hard. Frank Zappa = God

[Misfit_Fiend]

she was a board house wife married to the president who started the whole thing because her daughter got a Prince cd and her mother heard Darling Nicky *I think it was Darling nickey i could be wrong
