Vinnie Langdon: The Story of Michale Graves - Exclusive Interview

[@undertakerrick]

I went with my friend who is a HUGE fan to a show in suburbs of Chicago. My friend, Bob and Michale Graves talked and they are friends to this day. Michale Graves comes to his house and hangs out with us. He is a real cool down to earth dude. He really does become a part of his fans lives. My friend Bob tells everyone who will listen about his friend who was lead singer of Misfits.

[@jeffjacobson59]

I love how in the mid nineties everybody thought he ruined The Misfits. Now, it’s not the Misfits without Michale Graves! I thought he was exactly what they needed! Nobody on earth, could have taken this job without scrutiny. Ronnie James Dio would’ve gotten shit.

[@blainstutts473]

I sang for a couple of local bands when I was younger and later joined the army. Now a veteran, I really feel a connection with Graves more now than when he was with the Misfits. So many people down him for joining the service, but it’s just another part of his journey in life. Great guy.

[@drummer856]

@Blain Stutts thank you for your service brother.

[@__iconoclast7744]

Always liked Graves style. Was a total pop punk feel with this 2 albums he was on, underrated stuff

[@SDfisherman]

Graves is a rad dude and a amazing singer. Love his Live album.

[@licenciadoBroly]

underrated singer

[@robgraves6963]

I met Michale Graves in 2018. He's a great man! Amazing performer with a wonderful voice. After this fuckin pandemy, I hope that i will see this singer!

[@dirtrusty7228]

I really need to meet this guy. I met Doyle and it was like talking to a brick wall. Michale seems like a real intellectual and even shares some of my interests and beliefs.

[@shanefitz9648]

Graves is good dude I've met him a couple time he's always took the time to come say hi and sign a CD and shoot the shit for a minute... Graves, J.V., Loki all good dudes and great artists with no egos..

[@shanefitz9648]

Doyle just learned to speak in full sentences...lol... Nah he's just really a shy guy when it comes to meeting people and Glenn and Jerry always did the speaking... Doyle likes to just shut up and play....

[@maxsolis5538]

Shane Fitz Who is J.V?

[@sinceunati]

Doyle says he has extreme social anxiety. Not a good thing for a famous person who is surrounded by people staring at you, wanting to talk to you almost everyday. Give the guy at least a little bit of a break.

[@pattypatrick6519]

The dude is a brick wall lol

[@santinoozbek597]

Graves is the best singer from the misfits history and God damn he has talk with Pete Steele and that is pretty cool, Michael is very sympathic I have talk with him here in Germany great person 🤘

[@nova-jo1649]

Great advice Mr. Graves

[@miketallica6173]

The Misfits needs Michael Graves!

[@blazeandcyrus]

Cool interview thanks Michale and Vinnie

[@diegosanchez1203]

Saw him on monday, sang all the tunes, dammit!

[@screamsfromthegrave3324]

So nice to hear him talk about Type O like that, they're one of my favorite bands too!

[@GamingRoomOficial]

nice interview. I wish graves the best.

I'm the first person showed after he said the fan part and before that I was showing my tattoo of his autograph on the back of my neck hahaha

[@neopict5872]

Great interview! Stay true! Hope to see you on tour!

[@gracemanore1]

Everybody says that graves and doyle dont like each other but the way graves said "I wish I could say that doyle was back" with such hurt in his voice litterly made my heart sink. 😭 💀🎩

[@WilliamSmith-rj2tc]

Doyle and graves were very good friends while he was in the misfits Doyle even said one of the reasons he left the misfits was because Jerry replaced Michael

[@shanefitz9648]

Doyle and Graves are friends... There's an early Gorgeous Frankenstein demo with Graves on vocals cause Michale was Doyle's first choice but Jerry is his brother so family loyalty kinda nipped that in the bud... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpfKnX2MebqKrrM

[@ASM881]

That flyer culture still exists in Vancouver.

[@Muppio]

Hold up a second...we almost had Peter Steele sing for the Misfits? Mind blown...

[@oiitzME1266]

Right imagine how cool that would've been

[@sinceunati]

Holy Shit

[@bezoticallyyours83]

That would have been so awesome, if they had done a collab together.

[@KidsWreckMovies]

Graves rules and is super talented

[@scrubduuken7755]

Graves or Danzig it's still The Misfits. Loved project 1950.

[@ilikemusic]

But its not Misfits without either of them, which is why project 1950 is awful

[@shanefitz9648]

I dug the concept of Project 1950 but Jerry's vocals kill it...if it wasn't for Marky Ramone being on that album I wouldn't of even gave it a second listen but then that lineup led to the whole Osaka Popstar crap with John Cafiero on vocals...

[@jimmyjambhere]

@@shanefitz9648 That Osaka Popstar bullshit is horrible

[@Jboy19881]

Graves era was the best. Don’t @ me

[@sebalarosa3476]

Michael you RULE!!!

[@mattryan6886]

Didn’t know Graves moved to upstate NY, Nice!!! I live between Rochester and Syracuse in finger lakes , big central NY Welcome!!!

[@Mar-uo2bj]

"It's in the Upstate region... On top of my house by the roof."

[@TheSimp-i2f]

All of NY state outside of the city and Long Island is “upstate”

[@JoxterKnight]

awesome interview! great work man

[@notdreadyet33]

Graves is the man.

[@JohnSmith-eq2tf]

Why doesn't he get back with the Misfits!!!!!

[@blainstutts473]

I think they had a little bit of an ugly breakup. I think if they asked him he probably would consider it. But the Misfits, as much as I like them, can be a little prideful. But I agree, I would love to see them back together.

[@bassplayersguild7641]

We are actually set to go see Michale Graves perform in Tulsa at The Vanguard December 17, 2017. We're hoping to see him in rare form and see him in a more theatrical show like in his Misfits days. We'll keep you posted!

[@johnjacob8234]

Bass Players Guild so? How was it?

[@brianlandis7376]

He seem a very smart man n i giv it 2 him

[@Paul-dw2cl]

is that Robo @ 4:56 ?

[@Buffalothechannel]

He Is dr chud, he was the Misfits drummer in 1995-2000s

[@dman3438]

Why the fuck isn't he singing for Jerry?

[@johnnymindorff4885]

i think One of their live shows graves got drunk with Chud and talked crap about jerry on a live show doyle picked 'em both up easily and threw 'em offstage.

[@craigbrock847]

@@johnnymindorff4885 Did that really happen?

[@johnlangdon7576]

We share the same last name!!!!

[@unreconstructed]

Proud of your boy, Graves! Best front man misfits ever had!

[@HerenowGoneforever]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣for the kids who can't handle real punk

[@kittyMKZ]

I wanna marry him! O.O

[@satansgirlfriendxd]

Oh gods, You too ?! :D

[@XXthekingofyouXX]

I'm afraid he's taken.

[@Blade-Thing]

Happen to his eye?

[@TV-lb1wn]

As a child, he drank DayQuil and NyQuil at the same time.

[@tommyconancoates7097]

I like the singing and the songs he did on American psycho and if that was done under a different band name I think it would have been better for it, but I also just don't see graves as a "spooky" guy ,he just doesn't fit that mold and I think he came across as goofy.

[@johnjacob8234]

Tommy conan Coates I didn't see it like that. But then again I didn't know Graves before the Misfits days. My introduction to him was through the Misfits so I saw through the lens of a completely new fan, and I think it worked. Too bad about the falling out. I think Jerry and Doyle can probably be a bit difficult to get along with, and Graves seems like he would be a bit of a douche at times. Not hating on anybody, I love them all. Just saying what I see

[@DrDolan]

OHHHHHHH?!?!?! YESS Mr. JELLY ONRY?!?!?!?!?!

[@Paul-dw2cl]

haha, you’re a nutbar

[@phantom_troubadour]

Great interview! Too bad Graves is a Christian, too bad Doyle wants to forget about the Graves era, and too bad Jerry won't open the door for Graves for some more killer music!

[@MikeyMcKillYou]

Jerry also went Christian, and his dislike to Danzig's anti-Christ style held back the Misfits they are finally doing now... So Graves being Christian has nothing to do with it! If Jerry wasn't all about merch sales and cared more about music, there could be a good chance of Graves era misfits again... Jerry is the king of ruining shit! His own brother wouldn't do anything again until recently with anzig doing some reunions...

[@andyjones7121]

I think its cool that he says he's a Christian even though he knows how unpopular that is with his audience. Its good to see people with principles, not just putting on an act for people.

[@MrJans3n]

Yeah, he seems like a real genuine dude.

[@mattcook5265]

Danzig is more anti-Catholic than "Anti-Christ" - he has stated his personal beliefs are more in line with Martin Luther in that Luther believed that the Catholic Church represented Satan on Earth.

[@mattcook5265]

Oh, & Graves rules. He added so much to the Misfits legacy. His solo work is even better. Don't knock an Artist unafraid to wear his heart on his sleeve.

[@j.kelley1685]

Look at his face while Micheal talking. Baaahahahaha

Tello. Looks like he shaved his head

[@itheuserfirst3186]

An inflated sense of righteous self-importance.

I’m certain that this man has seen and done much more than you have in and around music but ok…

[@basicallyhomeless260]

i saw him at a bar. he was horrible
