One his most "popular" songs. Heres the meaning behind it. The song itself was written as a taunting rebuke to the PMRC - the Parental Music Resource Centre co-founded by Tipper Gore - a committee who you can thank for the introduction of Parental Advisory stickers on albums deemed too sweary, sexy, or druggy for little Timmy’s ears. In a bit of self-fulfilling prophecy, Danzig’s debut would get slapped with a Parental Advisory label - or ‘Tipper sticker’ - two years later, despite the album containing not one single profanity. “I was saying stuff they were offended by - questioning religion and questioning government,” Glen Danzig

[@damienfrancis2325]

Fuck tipper gore long live glen danzig

[@anthonymiller8131]

The smile that came on kels face when he started singing was priceless!!!!

[@TrumpImmortal]

The gothic jim morrison.

[@Soundeagle3456]

Wasn't Jim Gothic enough for you?

[@whysomad9248]

Rumor has it Danzig and the lead singer of The Cult are the illegitimate bastard sons of Jim Morrison....gotta say there's definitely a strong resemblance in them both.

[@darrenburns123]

Makes so much sense

[@Bigcornbread]

Wrong bud Ian Ashbury of the cult already filled them shoes

[@29slowjoe]

Evil elvis

[@grahamparkinson3899]

I met Glen backstage at a Sabbath concert, he was such a nice guy happy to hang out with fans rather than hang around the "hangers on". Great song and reaction too! Spot on about the Jim Morrison comparison - both have what I call "brass and leather" voices

[@jameshartwell413]

OH MY GOD !!! . I can't believe you mentioned him reminding you of Jim Morrison. I've been saying for years he sounds just like him. Although it's not all the time, but quite often. I've always loved this song.

[@AGDinCA]

I'm just now realizing that not everyone thinks this. I've always thought he sounded like Jim Morrison and assumed everyone thought that way. LOL

[@spiros21kadarelis90]

... All Right, I didn't know if you had made another announcement about Facebook page, but it's am awesome idea.. What could we possibly say about Danzig, that dude is just a genre of his own, like all great bands and artist's. That's what makes them.. Then..!!! Love and Respect from Greece. Cheerios guys... 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍴🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍺

[@monicajean37]

When this was written , it's in response too Tipper Gores PMRC I wouldn't expect anything less from Glen lol

[@0okamino]

Let's not leave out "credit" where it's due. That's "concerned mother" busybody pearl-clutchers Tipper Gore, Susan Baker, Sally Nevius, and Pam Howar's PMRC. ;)

[@MazeofInsanity]

First you two are awesome. With PTSD and being severely wounded in combat i am alone and online is all i have you help keep my mind off of wishing i was no longer here. I do have the part where i see both of you happy and it sucks knowing ill never have that again after the wounds i suffered but thank you for keeping real and helping me out unknowingly. So i have a few reactions for you from the band Metal Church, here are the sings, Metal Church, Watch the Children Pray, The Dark and Beyond the Black. Please keep going, my hate of life is less watching both of you.

[@dontletherspeak7575]

Play her Danzig's Blood and Tears, great ballad she'll love it.

[@tiffymcconkey]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! Super stoked to see your reaction!!!!

[@darrellwood3913]

Awesome! One of my favorite solo artists! The first 3 Danzig albums are 3 of my all time favorite albums!How the gods kill,A long way back from hell and Pain in the world are other great songs by Glen

[@kelligafter502]

darrell wood hi Darrell!!!!

[@darrellwood3913]

Kelli Gafter hi Kelli...loves your Kiss concert review.So glad you guys had a great time!

[@darrellwood3913]

Kelli Gafter You should listen to more Danzig.He has a lot of great songs that you would like.He’s pretty dark but romantic in a weird way but it works..lol

[@kelligafter502]

darrell wood yes!!!! We love Danzig!

[@kelligafter502]

darrell wood thanks Darrell! The KISS concert was amazing!!!! I am SO glad we saw them!

[@Dyrtbag68]

Amongst other songs from Evil Elvis and his minions, "Her Black Wings" is like the sequel to this.

[@0okamino]

Well, I got something to say I enjoyed your reaction today

[@chrishanson6566]

Great band saw them twice and met him have pics

[@tobyhubler9902]

Rich has already heard ALL these gems. U r hearing it for 1st times Kel. Got to go & listen to more Danzig now. It got me into a Danzig mood.

[@tobyhubler9902]

I graduated in 1995. One of the most popular bands with a lot of my peers, male & female through all my Jr. & High school years.

[@realisticthought1781]

Recently friended you and subscribed. Great work!

[@SeanCurran215]

I can't believe I'm just seeing this now lol. Love this song. This was in Hangover 3. And he has songs in hangover 1 and 2 as well.. the 1st movie has Thirteen and the 2nd movie has black hell. Great songs from mr Danzig

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Great tune. Never looked into his other stuff much. Last i listened, nothing else interested me of his but I'll check out more again. always loved this tune though.

[@raypowers3201]

Every time I hear this song he sounds a lot like Jim Morrison to me!

[@frankwellever9445]

I've been asking you to play this for months thanks for the shout out

[@Bricklinsv1970]

Ya that whole Album just kills!

[@doublewhopper8494]

Hi both . Danzig now play together with John and Kenny from Type o negative , was on Danzig's I think last album or 2nd to last album . And also tour with them and always sings a song for Peter Steel. Ok kool ....... Later richie

[@starburstppl]

I absolutely love this song!!!

[@BjornAgain76]

I have always loved this song! :D

[@jakeryzo899]

Great review to a Legendary song.

[@ericekblom5651]

Power full song!Nice reaction👌👍

[@michaeljames1593]

Prob my favorite by them is "Her Black Wings" but should check out his solo "Black Aria" album, nothing like what you'd expect considering Danzig but I love it, "The Morrigu" goes right through me.

[@normantompkins1252]

Danzig-am i demon

[@skridtractor875]

Kel, as Rich mentioned, Danzig was the vocalist for the horror-punk band The Misfits from NJ. Now knowing that you like his voice and if you feel daring, then try out anything from their 1982 'Walk Among Us' LP. "All Hell Breaks Loose" is my favorite track from that release.

[@starlord1637]

Danzig rules ,he is very intelligent and very talented great vocals . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jinnettajustice4787]

Twist of cane is very good also by Danzing

[@karlsmith2570]

jinnetta justice it's actually, " A Twist of Cain" not "Cane"

[@VespoLiveGaming]

James Hetfield of Metallica sings backing vocals on Twist of Cain

[@golddust8929]

lol love yall guys

[@sergiodavila5269]

Gotta react to She Rides & Killer Wolf!!! Thanks for reacting to Danzig!!! They’re great for working out!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

she watched most of the video with her eyes closed...and it was the coolest thing ever

[@rx7dude2006]

Jim Morrison sound I always thought.

[@leviathanmoshman2331]

yes he is a cross between jim and elvis

[@peo4989]

I wish i could find helll with Danzig still to this day :)

[@russday81]

Yesssss

[@sprtswrtr10]

Haven't read all the comments so maybe somebody's made this comparison … I always thought Danzig sounded a lot like the Cult, yet what I didn't put together was how much that guy sounds like, of all people, Jim Morrison. It's uncanny and great.

[@larrybivens9987]

In addition to my last comment..I had that same guitar. Great choice!

[@Vader1138]

Good classic alt metal with a foundation in punk. Similar would be Henry Rollins who came out of Black Flag. I wasn't heavy into it and punk then but had friends that were. Now it takes me back to those times and I have appreciation of it. Gets the head thrashing. I just like music of all kinds. Wasn't sure what Kel's reaction would be. Always thought Danzig was a bit of a guy thing and a bit on the mysogynistic side. But that would cover a lot of rock in general so good point about the Doors.

[@FuckYoutubeAndGoogle]

Henry Rollins wishes he was Glenn Danzig.

[@RyneMurray23]

Fantastic song

[@NWGhost71]

More Danzig! Shit yeah!

[@slayerfern]

Danzig - Devil's Plaything

[@chrishorst6993]

I read somewhere that they offered him the part of the Character The Wolverine because he is the size and build of the comic version. But he chose not to so he could keep making music. Not sure if it’s true. But you can see him as Wolverines

[@dangerkeith3000]

I always got this Danzig song confused with The Cult because of a similar style. Not a bad thing at all, both bands are awesome. "She Sells Sanctuary" is a modern classic.

[@jrkchannel37]

Its produced that way..by Rick Rubin.

[@VespoLiveGaming]

Check the track "Soul on Fire" from the same album

[@jakeryzo899]

This goes on my killing list

[@matthewdrake4385]

Rich, if you remember the PMRC back in the 80s, the song was about mothers forbidding their kids to listen to certain songs or artists for being controversial. Which helped launch the stickers on albums.

[@justinsmyth3211]

Kel needs to hear The Misfits with Danzig at the helm.

[@0okamino]

@Matthew Drake - Well, that not nice to say (especially if they're your darling). If you can't be friendly about it, then _don't utter a single word._ :D

[@matthewdrake4385]

Die die my darling was an old Misfits track, even Metallica covered it on Garage Days inc.i was requesting a song for them to check out.

[@0okamino]

@Matthew Drake - Yeah, I was joking. Did you not recognize the last 5 words in my comment? ;)

[@tobyhubler9902]

Try : She Rides, Twist ofCain, Am I Demon, Her Black Wings, How the Gods Kill, Long Way Back From Hell. All good the 1st 4 Danzig albums r GOOD!

[@slayerfern]

Danzig's first 4 albums are amazing

[@LTDdmg]

Her Black Wings is what my brother and I uses to test out guitars and amps in the music store before purchasing \m/

[@tobyhubler9902]

@@LTDdmg 🤘🏻 interesting intro. Just palm muting, heavy power chords, some pinch harmonics. 1 of their best tunes.

[@tobyhubler9902]

I a B.C. Rich Mockinbird, not a Bitch like John Christ Played, but Danzig still sounds good on the mockingbird that I have.

[@tobyhubler9902]

I own it

[@maxwinterwolf66]

Hey, Saludos para el compatriota :) (greetings to my compatriot) I have to say, to each their own, but I've listened to this song several times and I cannot dig Danzig's style of singing... I just can't but what you gonna do. Not everyone is a winner to my ears.

[@kelligafter502]

Hello and Thank you for your honesty. We love it when all of you just state your truth. The fact of the matter is that we are all not going to like everything and it’s totally OK. There’s a lot of music we just will not listen to, and it’s not that we think it’s bad, it just doesn’t resonate with us. We have come to expect this because that is the beautiful nature of human diversity and individuality, something we treasure on our channel. Thanks for being here!

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

a main stay on rock radio stations across america . this song is two words Bad Ass. heh

[@cripplermaximus]

This song rocks and the chick is cute! Subbed.

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

In out hit it hard Kel is the she in that's what she said

[@ClickToPreview]

My friend used to hang out with Jerry Only and Doyle (and their incredible dad -- the STORIES!) during Misfits' rise. Hearing it from him, Glenn Danzig (and especially Glenn's mom who was either a lawyer, or lawyer-savvy) saw an opportunity to sue Jerry Only for rights to the Misfits' name as they were coming up. Apparently, Jerry settled out of court cuz these were hard-working Jersey boys who didn't see it coming, and didn't even realize HOW BIG they had become. My friend said he punched Glenn in the mouth during some altercation during a band practice, which I can completely believe, cuz apparently Glenn was just a narcissistic jerk. Puts some perspective on ol' Glenn Danzig.

[@0okamino]

@ClickToPreview - I wouldn't be surprised by any accounts of fists having up close and personal meetings with Glenn's mouth. As much as I like the Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig for the music, he has quite a reputation for being an egotistical asshole.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

You should watch the live version to the studio one you just heard. He looks like Wolverine

[@tobyhubler9902]

& Roy Orbison & Elvis.

[@captainjackmoto]

His two biggest inspirations were Jim Morrison and Elvis so he tied them into his singing

[@inspectorvol951]

He sounds just like Jim Morrison.

[@FreakinSweet86]

Also, he's been compared to Elvis too

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

I've never made that connection at all. I don't hear it.

[@AGDinCA]

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Seriously? Or are you chain yanking?

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

@@AGDinCA I've never made the connection. What song do you recommend I listen to back to back with this one?

[@AGDinCA]

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Ah, serious, then. Cool. You never know these days - some people on the internet just live to be jerks. 😕 Anyway, after I had replied to you, I noticed in the thread that other people did not make the Jim Morrison connection, either. So, I noted my surprise because I just assumed that everybody had made that connection. Well, you know what they say about assuming! I feel silly now. Anyway, another Danzig song you may be interested in is Twist of Cain. 1. It's a killer song. 2. Sounds like Jim Morrison (to me!). Rock on! 🤘😁🤘

[@toddvandell85]

The live version is actually better, but this is a cool video. The whole thing is about censorship, and also over protective parents who will ultimately lose control of their children who will rebel against that over protection. Thanks for the critique. Chopping wood. Perfect song for that. Definitely. Gotta go something's come up? Very subtle. 😉

REACTION TO «LAST CARESS»(misfits)

[@goldenagenut]

I always thought "Tired of Being Alive" was Danzigs best solo song. The guy has a great voice, could write some great songs but by all accounts tries way too hard, successfully, to be a total asshole. Apparently he messed with one of the members of Def Leppard and got his butt handed to him, theres also a great backstage video of the singer for the LA Kings ask if Glen could start his set a little late since there were apparently some technical problems. This guy towers over Danzig and has 150lbs on him and Danzig in typical fashion refuses then ACTUALLY PUSHES the guy, who's twice his size - the guy lays Danzig out cold with 1 punch, it's pretty hilarious.

[@Thebeastfromnorth75]

You know what is even more hilarious? The fat dude that hit him, the singer of Northside Dicks, said himself in an interview afterwards that he leaved the scene right away after flooring Danzig though he didn't want anything more to do with him though he was uncertain "if he could go the distance" with Danzig. Anyway, short time after punching Danzig, he ended up in a hospital in some kind of illness AND his house burnt down, with no insurance. Isn't that hilarious?!
