Facts

[@cingiah]

Glen Danzig is the only misfit singer.

[@corry13ch]

Great reaction.. This is the "Graves Era" Misfits, which I very much enjoy, "Dig Up Her Bones" being one of my favorite tracks.....but if you want to go "O.G.", you have to go to the Danzig Era Misfits, more punk, or the incarnation of "whoa-whoa punk". The Danzig Era, or "The Original Misfits" really got me into the punk scene as a kid, and still remain a favorite band of mine to this day.

[@thejrm3198]

some might even say to have heard the misfits you have to go Danzig era.. i like a few songs off of american psycho. i saw this version live. i always wished mma fighter stephan bonnar would have come out to the title track for his fights.

[@samcourt6228]

I’m a big fan of the Graves era and love American Psyco, it’s probably the album of theirs I listen to the most. Graves era Misfits was also my first ever concert at the London Astoria II in the summer of ‘99. Happy days.

[@mille7270]

Graves era >

[@tylerm5545]

Danzig era is the best era

[@canadiangopher4443]

I am a Graves era fan myself, I love his voice and lyrics are mostly about B Horror flicks that I have seen, also i find the guitar riffs and drum beats were just faster and more aggressive than the danzig era, so yeah I like danzig era but for me I LOVE graves era.

[@bigtom8925]

My mum got on a Ferry from England to Ireland, she saw some metal guys and thought it would be a good idea to say "My son dresses like you, like an idiot". They took it in good banter and my mum had a good talk to them, apparently they were in a band and after talking their ears off, my mum said "Go on then, tell me what band you're in, just in case my sons heard of you" it was the fucking Misfits. I checked the date of the ferry and they were in Ireland that weekend. My mum told me this like they were a unsigned band, Just some random guys she met.

[@gvehar]

90s Misfits was very different from the original 70s/80s version. They were originally a Ramones type of band with Elvis/Jim Morrison type vocals. You should try listening to London Dungeon but make sure you’re listening to the original single or the Collection I version. The later remix isn’t as powerful. They turned into a hardcore band by the end of their original run and the vocals took a backseat to aggression but they still put out one of the best hardcore records ever. You’d like their songs Where Eagles Dare (Collection 1 version), Die Die My Darling, and The Walk Among Us album.

[@brianlogsdon4824]

Astro Zombies, TV casualty, One Last Caress, Halloween,

[@thewannabeeye-talian8347]

Yes, Alex would LOVE "Where Eagles Dare"! 😃

[@ThatWeirdPlaceInYT]

As much as I love the Ramones, the original Misfits created horror punk. Music about rapeing, killing, stabbing, etc. Their shows had dead animals and blood. I love both the Ramones and Misfits equally, I never thought of Misfits as a Ramone type band.

[@gvehar]

@@ThatWeirdPlaceInYT I wasn't saying the Ramones had anything to do with horror punk, although they occasionally mined the same subject matter in Pet Sematary, Chainsaw, and others. But the Ramones invented the very simple rapid downstroking power chords-style of punk that the Misfits did when they became a four-piece. They both were heavily influenced by 50s rock n' roll, as well as the Stooges and 60s garage bands. I actually like the Misfits' riffs a bit more but the Ramones had the chance to build up a large body of work so they have a lot of great riffs too.

[@theidajawho]

[@TheSadpunk0]

Thanks for checking this out. This is from the later era of Misfits. Some purists don't recognize this as "real" Misfits, but it is a bop so what do they know. You should check out some stuff from the Danzig lineup though, although the sound quality of that period leaves a lot to be desired. I recommend "Skulls", "Hybrid Moments", and "Where Eagles Dare" to get a better idea of the raw original sound

[@bertieblack5639]

GOD I'VE LOVED THIS SONG FOR AGES Edit - Michael Graves from Misfits also did a really nice acoustic cover of this you should check out :)

[@CobraFat2000]

Also - more like the other way around - Graves and Misfits did a punk rock cover song of the song he wrote when he was in his teens and that was more like the acoustic version you're referring to.

[@kasf150]

FCK YES!! My favorite song of theirs!

[@ewokalypse2737]

I’ve always gravitated to the Graves Era. The metal influence is very apparent in American Psycho. Plus Michael’s voice is one of the best, particularly in his acoustic solo stuff

[@camlloyd3321]

This takes me back to my teenage days when I was die-hard Misfits fan . I had a devil lock ( the long strand of hair that hangs down the front of your face) , wore an army jacket with a bunch of punk rock patches on it, and combat boots. This band, and their sub genre of horror punk still remains one of my all time favorites. You should check out some of the Danzig era Misfits such as Die Die My Darling, or Green Hell.

[@letmebefrank11]

[@slyzombie6166]

Gotta check out their song "Helena". I was actually in a Misfits cover band called Devil-lock, this was one of my favorites to play. While I do like Danzig era Misfits, Graves has an AMAZING voice.

I was at the show they filmed the live footage at. In fact one of my friends was crowd surfing and I could see his legs in the footage. It was a wild show in a small club called Toad's Place in New Haven Connecticut. This song was the single off the Misfits American Pyscho Album after the band was reformed. This song was initially written my Michael Graves, the singer, if you hunt KZbin he has done acoustic versions of the song, which change the context of the lyrics.

[@Deato9000]

Seen them live at least 8 or 9 times spanning the last 15 years. They really are a phenomenon, bigger than just the music alone. Glad you finally opened the door, hope you react to more in the near future

[@brianna4288]

God, I grew up with the Misfits. My stepdad is a huge fan. He's in a Misfit's cover band called Psycho 78 (taken from the Misfits song Horror Business) where he plays bass along with my little brother who plays drums. They've played multiple live shows and are pretty good ngl (I'm biased though, ahaaa). I saw the Misfits once in the 2000's when I was super young and met Jerry Only and about three years ago went to one of Michael Graves' concerts and met him afterwards. We ended up talking about Jim Carrey for a few minutes (held up the line a bit but we were having a fun convo lol). Needless to say I love them and I'm super glad you've finally been able to check them out. I also find it really funny that you said they've got halloween vibes because they have a song called Halloween and it's one of my absolute favorites by them. I mean, since you like Metallica you've probably heard some of their Misfits covers, but I suggest you check out Halloween, Saturday Night, Last Caress, Helena, Die Die My Darling, Skulls, Don't Open 'Til Doomsday, American Pscyho, and Scream. Sorry that's so many but these are some of their more well known songs and are super good. Also, to answer your question, I love Chef Boyardee's raviolis. They're amazing.

[@Guenter34]

Definitely my favourite song by them. This, or Scream.

@@PriestofGethsemane I agree, he could've done worse and started with the Jerry Era lol. Now that is where one should definitely not start if they want to get into the misfits in my opinion.

[@PriestofGethsemane]

@@smokeyarcade Same here. But I doubt there's much more in store in general.

[@smokeyarcade]

@@PriestofGethsemane Yeah, most we'll get is maybe a few more shows in a couple years. Which kinda sucks because a new Danzig-Misfits album would be killer! Imagine something that sounded like Walk Among Us & Static Age with today's recording technology? Holy hell. They would literally be printing money.

I met Jerry and Doyle one night during their Kyrss the Conquerer days...years later I worked with them during the Graves era...spent the majority of the concert making sure that Graves didn't fall into the pit...I have a picture of myself and Jerry with my (then) 6 month old son in my arms...Jerry was in full makeup and Devillock and my son is looking at him with a look of "I've seen some really weird stuff today...but you take the cake" granted that got trumped when Dave Brockie picked him up and made Oderous faces at him and got him laughing...when I took my son to my Mum's so she could watch him over the convention (DragonCon 2000) I showed her the pictures and we both laughed about it for years...still wonder what Dave's reaction was when he met Mum in the Summerlands...

It took me a while to hear the Misfits as well, even though all the kids I hung out with high school listened to them. It wasn't until my junior year of college, around 2011, that I dated a goth chick and finally heard them. They've since become one of my favorite bands. They are the fathers of the horror punk genre. Danzig, who you've reacted to before, was a founding member.

[@cato7778]

Misfits lyrics are often based on well known and some more obscure horror/sci fi b- movie. The reformed 90s era had vocal and lyrical influences from Jim Morrison aswell as Christian values and scripture. Old school 'Fits had vocal influences from Elvis and occultist lyrics

[@thunderspike1892]
