[@sam.n7762]

how is this possible. did you had this idea it can fit before or how did you do that

[@ryanjohnson1628]

Denis, As an old school fan of the Misfits catalog, & a Caiafa supporter - Bravo mate... nailed it. Re-watched aaaalot. I have a track in mind that would make a killer redoux - but in whose style I can't grasp. Would love to hear your opinion... Again, cheers on a very successful project.

[@Marty-z1y]

This was great! How about Horror Business but in the vein of Motorhead?

[@NeoWolfDK]

Sounds like Volbeat

[@MusicRevolution1992]

I speak for everyone when I say please make more Misfits style songs. These are badass.

[@machinegun3133]

Dude, I've been listening to the Misfits AND Maiden since the 80's when I was a little kid and this fucking rocks! \m/

[@s123le]

I liked how mishmashed Danzig and post-Danzig Misfits in this interpretation! (Post-Danzig in verses, Danzig in Chorus.) Very cool!

[@DenisPauna]

Thanks! I like your observation. 🤘🏻

[@blueunicornhere]

Agreed. Nailed it

[@inakiwebmail2871]

I agree too! Graves + Danzig. It's amazing!!

[@TheMadArab138]

All I hear is the last “Misfits” album with Jerry, don’t hear any Danzig or Graves era anywhere.

[@fundymentalism]

​@@TheMadArab138you can hear it some Danzig when he belts fear of the dark and falls to the tonic at the end of the phrase

[@gsharman1989]

If Michael Poulsen of Volbeat joined and fronted American Psycho era Misfits.

[@briansauer6695]

As soon as I heard the first few words, and especially the chorus, I thought the same thing!

[@Elmerstudd007]

That's what I was thinking! They did do a cover of Angel F*ck and yeah its pretty much this.

[@nothankyou6156]

Definitely need more misfits stuff

[@williamjeffersonclinton69]

I 2nd this.

[@DenisPauna]

I 3rd this! 🤘🏻

[@inakiwebmail2871]

Yeah, please Denis!

[@Mowmauf]

I 4th this

[@richilieumileib5093]

5th

[@maxr4073]

We need a full what if "The Misfits" wrote compilation album. This is so AWESOME!

[@lukevonpuke]

Yes!!

[@theeuprise]

Yes! Yes! YES!!!

[@inakiwebmail2871]

Yes x 666 😂

[@salf3234]

Yes x 4

[@SamuelRoot]

Here here!

[@ThePowerman121]

Musically it sounds like Graves era, vocally it sounds like a mix of Danzig and Graves. Nice

[@that_80s_guy]

Man, I love Misfts and love Maiden too. This was too good!

[@bernomatic3788]

Man I’d buy a whole album of Danzig / Misfits / Maiden mashups!

[@gripera]

It kinda also sounds like Type O Negative + Misfits doesn’t it? Good stuff!

[@jaqueslagerweij6882]

No

[@ZYCERIN]

Yeah, like if Steele took the Misfits gig.

[@hxcdsal89]

They fact that the backing vocals were done by the bassist (Jerry Only) is the attention to detail that sets this guy apart. Good stuff!!!

[@pxofpxof7782]

dude this sounds nothing like the misfits. i bet youre one of those idiots that just know last caress by metallia

[@arkhamsrazor7075]

Wait.. Jerry did the actual backing vocals on this specific video? Is that what you're saying?

[@alexanderm6049]

Has a Volbeat vibe to it, especially the chorus. Love it ! More please !

[@dirtyboy601]

That's how my brother and i heard it

[@joelmacdonald6994]

That’s what turned my off of it. I can listen to Volbeat’s music, but the moment the guy starts singing, I’m done. Drives me nuts, because their instrumentals are so killer. The most perfect wrong-ness ever for metal. But, that is just my opinion and my taste.

[@alexanderm6049]

@@joelmacdonald6994 True. Volbeat can be quite deceiving 😏. The songs always kick off like the heaviest Slayer tune just to take a sharp turn into Nickelback territory as soon as the chorus hits😆. Poulsen' s drawling vocal style is also not to everybodys cup of tea but you have to admit that the full package is quote unique and entertaining. Regarding Denis work, It's fascinating to see the evolution and shared DNA from early Rockabilly to NWOBHM to Horrorpunk. Very well done Mr. Pauna !

[@danielsaldana4663]

Damn near sounds like them too good call

[@PrcBox13]

Volbeat sound like Misfits, Misfits were making music in when the Volbeat guys didn't know what is a guitar

[@negativebones1887]

More Misfits! Loved this.

[@Urotsukidoji1]

as a card carrying member of both band's fan clubs, I can say this is pretty spot-on!! Good stuff

[@eLiFILMSinc]

Like a Type O song actually

[@mgrocki]

Smashed this one my dude! chorus is spot on!

[@DenisPauna]

Huge thanks man! 🤘🏻

[@nicksmith8557]

That is genuinely amazing!!!!

[@drakonolus7922]

Badass ..... it sounds like if Peter Steele turned into a Punk band ( not Carnivore ) something more like this. Sounded great. Pretty well dude 🤘

[@Igor.J.Delgado]

This could have been one of their covers, it just lacks some creepy keyboard parts

[@CryptToneMusic]

Funny enough Peter almost sang for the misfits 😂 also if you look up Dig up her bones slowed with reverb on KZbin it's almost like a type o negative version of the misfits

[@petarsimcic9173]

Really cool idea Denis!

[@DenisPauna]

Thanks bro! 🤘🏻

[@carlosgoldstein1057]

Complete with devil-locks! Smashed this 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@xainsshrimpboat340]

A song from a band you've never covered before, in a style you've never done before. And it sounds great!

[@BeeRumblin13]

It all sounds like Graves era to me. Music and vocals.

[@slave138]

I agree on the vocals. You can clearly understand the lyrics which was rarely the case when mush-mouth was singing for them

[@figuresix]

Sounds more like Type O Negative than Misfits, but still very cool.

[@timmylloyd1]

One word. Legendary!

[@williamjeffersonclinton69]

Pretty damn tasty cover. Love it.

[@danielwegener77]

I had fucking goosebumps when i read the title and it didnt stop when i listened to it, well done, dennis! and hell yeah, do more fits. you made my day😊

[@Yourweakminds]

Crom smiles from his mountain.

[@tellesthedrummer]

That was pure GENIUS

[@ravenblackfeather4028]

Sounds wicked. Love your vocals you really captured the style of Misfits 🤘🎃🤘👻🖤

[@javoannikian391]

simplemente FABULOSO

[@kalangoalpha5920]

Is there any chance to If Iron Maiden wrote Die Die My Darling? Pretty nice video! Cheers from Brazil!

[@ravenwood1405]

no way man this is f ... awesome

[@pyroglyphics]

Awesome! Can you please reverse this and do scream in the style of Iron maiden?

[@Marty-z1y]

Horror Business but if Motorhead performed it

[@TimBitten]

I’m literally begging you to release a Misfits version of an AC/DC album!

[@Satori_XIII]

I SECOND THIS

[@wastelander138]

Awesome interpretation as always. I would still love to hear you do if Type O Negative did a Misfits song either Halloween from Danzig era or maybe Dig Up Her Bones from Graves era would be cool.

[@arkhamsrazor7075]

Damn son...I did not expect this to sound this good. Bravo, my dude.

[@sebastianevangelista4921]

This might be one of your best and accurate covers yet! It completely fits and I'd be down for more. PS 'If Behemoth wrote God of Emptiness (Morbid Angel)' or 'If Sepultura wrote Evil Dead (Death)' could be really cool.

[@shaihulud4515]

Spot on! I'll celebrate Halloween tomorrow with some good ol' friends - here is the perfect opener! Thanks a ton and happy Halloween Denis!

[@ArmyVet76]

More Misfits 🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️💚🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@cthulpaspawn]

Amazing as always, sir! Fkin NAILED IT.

[@angelofverdun456]

I would purchase this and listen to it on repeat for a good month

[@positivepsycho2932]

I wish bands would actually do things like this. This is fucking awesome.

[@THE_CDN]

If you told me this was from a Volbeat album, I would believe you. Great job!

[@rafaelbriganti502]

The Misfits!!! ❤❤❤

[@ZoahLord]

Absolutely fucking nailed it!

[@mortusdominus]

More Misfits?

[@DenisPauna]

Umm, yeah! 🤘🏻

[@mortusdominus]

Nice.

[@Randomeris1]

Would love to see more remakes like this in the spirit of Misfits !

[@Chili-ile]

That was so awesome!!

[@niteshades_promise]

flawless victory! this is awesome! nice deans.🍻🍻🍻

[@tobaobokoomi1693]

I didn't know I needed Micheal Poulsen singing for the Misfits...but here I am...

[@edgeofsanity9111]

Well done, this turned out better than I expected Ofc it's nearly impossible to recreate the beauty and epicness when turning this song into punk, but it still sounds pretty good

[@NS-dd9ou]

Very good work. Well achieved. I missed pick slides and palm banging on the guitar!

[@DenisPauna]

Thanks! That will be done in the future Misfits work!

[@ultimattdoom]

Post Danzig Misfits someone else mentioned sums it up too

[@frankvincent1408]

This definitely sounds more Graves Misfits

[@101er9]

This definitely sounds more Poulsen Volbeat

[@chrisvoigt6895]

F*******CK YASSSSS!!! That was BRILLIANT!! Well done. Now I have to dissect that the bass part and convince my guitarist to learn and play this version. So much energy and angst!! Love It!!

[@rictusmetallicus]

Fear Of The Dork? I don't fear the Dork, mommy - can i go out and kill tonight?

[@vitokoreviu]

FULL ALBUM PLEASEE?

[@jillscheer3677]

I love your Type O mashups and boy do I love Danzig and Misfits! So awesome dude.

[@scottfreedom9845]

Awesome!!! Would love to see more misfits stuff. Nailed it man 👍👍

[@JJSFC]

This is so so good.

[@seanirby8838]

This is...genius. When I saw the video title, I thought, "You madman, what are you doing?" Then, after watching the video, I thought, "You madman, you DID IT."

[@thordonar529]

Perfect, it really looks like the misfits

[@djschmolli]

Spot on! Brilliant!

[@Inka_Nocturna]

Fucking Love “Fear of the Dark”... Well done, my love! 👍🏻💜 Hell Yeees, I love this version too! 😈🤘🏻 (please something inspired by “Children of Bodom” next)

[@whitecrowblues]

Awesome!!! I need more Misfits songs in your style!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodUnclePete]

This is my favorite Maiden song from one of my favorite bands. You, sir, are a legend.

[@billhartman7610]

Very awesome cover, good job dude, I'm gonna be listening to this for a while, thanks bro

[@mikecox1974]

Didn't realize how much I needed this in my life until now. Epic mashup love the corpse paint and hair too.

[@Nicktaylorhorrorshow]

THIS IS SO COOL! More "If Misfits Wrote" videos please!!! How bout If Mifits wrote FREE BIRD!!!

[@mikelehmann4557]

Figured I'd give it a couple of seconds...Listened to it twice. Amazing!

[@DerpTheory]

I've never heard The Misfits but as an Iron Maiden fan, this is great! ❤

[@randalladams7692]

That's badass love the misfits sound allot like graves very cool

[@skibsteds]

So cool! A really fantastic mash-up.

[@purplemush9914]

I think this is the best idea I would turn all my metal music to misfits style!

[@ghastlynavigator]

This is fantastic! Maybe 2 minutes too long for a misfits song...lol. Great cover, love the guitar tone and the vocals are wonderful! UP THE IRONS 🤘

[@metalliopleurodon]

Maybe it's gonna sound a little dumb. But maybe you could make. How would Graves era songs would've sounded if they were written in the original Danzig era.

[@danw4490]

This is excellent! Great performance!

[@norvanzanders1645]

This showed up on my feed. Incredible.

[@susiedyer3260]

And I also love how u dimemized it

[@leehelck4606]

this was WAY better than i thought it was going to be!

[@BrutusMayhem567]

Now THAT was freakin' bad ass ! Great job.

[@metalcrow1879]

I think this might be your "All Around" rendition. 😎💯❤️

[@Brightest_day727]

Spot on,more misfits videos please.

[@phantom_troubadour]

Graves Era take 🤘

[@theeuprise]

WOW!👏👏👏 this is your greatest work!👌 thank you!

[@hhdhpublic]

[@DenisPauna]

The print is bad quality, they became white after just a few washing cycles. Thanks! 🤘🏻

[@MartyWilson100]

Great cover, I love this version of the Iron Maiden classic

[@Plan9-3127]

Effing A brother! You definitely got Doyle's sound and play style nailed! This is a kick ass rendition... 🤟

[@jlarquero]

tremendo!!!! the outfit is glorious 🤣🤣🤣 the version great as always 🤟🤟🤟

[@Lynx-10G]

Good job! If only you could give more low-end (The bass is almost missing) would be perfect!

[@marklara8379]

Very cool! Loved that you covered one of my favorite songs, and you did it in the style of the Misfits! You rock! 🤘

[@HiGlowie]

Thank you for doing Misfits!! I’d love to see some Queens of the Stone Age

[@billmcfadden9010]

As a Maiden fan also Misfits fan..I fucking love this,bad ass!!!
