Kinda cool.

Glenn Danzig hasn't been a member of the Misfits since their initial breakup in 1983. After a legal battle, bassist Jerry Only gained the rights to record and tour under the Misfits name starting in the 1990s, and Danzig went on to find success with his eponymous band Danzig. Misfits and Danzig have been active, separately, for years now. It hasn't been a particularly amicable divide, either—the two sides have sued each other multiple times. Now, in a reunion that's arguably more unexpected than Axl Rose getting back together with Slash, Danzig has rejoined the Misfits. He'll share the stage with Jerry Only and long-time guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, billed as "the Original Misfits," for the first time since 1983. (Doyle has performed with both Danzig and the Misfits following the band's 1983 breakup.) So yeah, that's three-quarters of the lineup from the band's iconic 1982 album Walk Among Us.

Nice. Let's hope they do a full tour

Danzig said the tour last year with Superjoint might be his last, or at least he's close to retiring from touring. I think he'll do some festivals if the money is right but that's about it.

Jerry Only Will find a way to frick it up.

I am very surprised Glenn is doing this.

Shocked that he would have anything to do with it, considering how much Only has shite on the name.

Glenn wasn't looking so good last time I saw him.

My band opened for Danzig on his first solo tour in 1988. True story.

I can't without breaking my anonymity here. Also did shows with Fugazi, the Cramps, New Model Army, Jesus Lizard, Circle Jerks and others. It was a fun ride. Fugazi, being peace punks, had no alcohol backstage. They'd have this incredible spread of fruits and vegetables though. One night I happily plowed through pounds of bing cherries during sound check lol.

was he cool?

The bass player Eerie Von was the coolest of the band. We'd drink afternoon beer and shoot the shite. Glen usually napped in the afternoons and generally kept to himself.

Actually been listening to the Misfits a lot recently.

Very CSB!
About how many shows did you get to do? That's must have been quite an experience.

When a band of that genre came to town, it was either us or Smashing Pumpkins who would open for those kind of acts, since both of our bands were based in the Midwest at the same time when we were starting out.
The first show I did with Danzig was at a venue called Billy's Old Mill in Wisconsin.

Nope. My synthesizers and gear are gathering dust.

Sorry to hear that.

Same.
I'll listen when I'm on my bike. Nice little boost, and a fun nostalgia trip.
