The song was inspired by the PRMC and the government hearings that led to the Parental Advisory labels on albums which was started by Tipper Gore and a bunch of other politicians wives because Tipper Gore bought the Purple Rain soundtrack for her kids without watching the movie or listening to the soundtrack, and instead of being a responsible and good parent she and the other DC housewives thought albums should be labeled to make their lives of being lazy parents easier,which basically ended up being censorship because certain stores wouldn’t carry albums with the Parental Advisory label so artists had to release censored versions of albums or do without big stores carrying their albums
I mean why not let the government and corporations think for you instead of being an informed member... oh wait. Now that I typed it out, this isn't a good thing.
@ yeah it’s about telling the parents to actually be responsible and engage with their children instead of putting a sticker on an album that was censorship in a way because a lot of stores wouldn’t carry the albums
Twist Of Cain is another great Danzig song to check out. You might even want to take a listen to Misfits- Die Die My Darling, Danzig used to sing for them back in his punk days.
I saw him live with Marilyn Manson at the haunted Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, AL. I loved him ever since he sang for The Misfits, but I realized he sounds like the drunk guy who hung out at Moe's Tavern on The Simpsons and now I can't unhear it lol.
Yes , if Elvis would have died earlier then it would make perfect sense that Danzig was Elvis reincarnated and in a punk and metal style with his bands the Misfits and Samhain and then his solo career,same thing with Davey Havok from AFI being the reincarnation of Danzig
Great reaction, Nikki! Danzig is a great band, I’m sure you’d like any of their other more known songs. Anyone else get the popping sounds all through the video? I only heard those sounds while the clip was playing, the spoken parts of the video were all fine. I played the same YT clip and didn’t hear it there. Maybe something with the audio mix?
Glenn's music is always open to interpretation. I see this song as a cryticism to people in general who try to shield themselves and orthers from the darker, uglier and more uncomfortable side of life. Some say it is about a ritual (the original 1990 VHS music video MTV rejected helps with that one). In the end of the day there is no right or wrong about interpration of music. About the music video, Glenn made one for the 1990 VHS but MTV wanted them to change it due to shocking imagery such as Danzig killing a chicken and drawing with its blood. Obviously Glenn stood his ground and decided not to do so, no matter if he would lose the MTV exposure. Then they sold out a Halloween show in Irvine Meadows CA in 1992 and released the images as a music video.
Rammstein Engel is definitely worth doing. I guarantee you will love it. Be sure to watch the live at Madison Square Garden version. I look forward to seeing your reaction. 🤪
Michael Poulsen of Volbeat anyone? I like to call Volbeat "Elvis metal" because of Michael's singing style, which reminds me quite a bit of Elvis. I never fell into the Danzig rabbit hole, I am however a fan of Volbeat.
@nikkireviews Yeah, Volbeat is great, and they sometimes surprise you, they even have a song that is quite Metallica-esque, Ecotone, one of my favorite Volbeat tunes for sure. They have both upbeat songs, and darker ones. Most of their songs are a vibe, you can't help it, you just have to bob your head when listening to them. Headbanging? Nah, not me, but headbobbing, of course 😁🤘
Glenn Danzig's voice reminds me a lot of Ian Astbury, from The Cult, although I do consider Ian a better singer. On that cue, I would suggest "Fire Woman", by The Cult, official music video for the next poll.
need more - five finger death punch, all that remains, falling in revers, foo fighters, three days grace, stone sour, slipknot, halestorm, rob zombie, apocalyptica
Not Elvis, please don't offend Glenn like that. Sounds like Jim Morrison. Even my mother (no pun intended), who was a huge Doors fan said he sounded like Jim back when this came out. This came out when I was a teenager. Of course we had already listened to Misfits for years by then, but he hadn't refined his voice until he went solo.
Ya know, I'm not really familiar with the Doors. I honestly wouldn't be able to place Jim Morrison's voice..😬 And I actually like Elvis, so it was more of a compliment! 😉😜
MUTHAAAAH!!! Danzig sounds like Elvis??? That's a first! :) Usually I hear Danzig sounds like the lead singer of The Cult. Hmmm. Speaking of which, you might actually like The Cult. You should check them out. :) Maybe check out the song "Fire Woman."
need some - like a storm, rise against, escape the fate, black veil brides, hatereed, mudvayne, hellyeah, drowning pool, pop evil, seether, papa roach, korn, hollywood undead, disturbed, flyleaf, bullet for my valentine, shinedown, icon for hire, the letter black, static-x
The clicking sounds in the background are what's destroying tis reaction. Your reaction was great, but just go back and watch your video. The clicks are louder than the music.
No, it's about being a 4'11" creep with an inferiority complex. All those lyrics about being "tough", and his only good video shows him being beaten up and crying.😄
Sounded like good old school rock to me; not heard of them before but that’s nothing unusual 😂; I didn’t listen to the lyrics, that’s gonna have to be later! It was a decent song, not 100% my thing but I wouldn’t turn it off if it was on. The symbolism was a bit naff to me, a bit tacky; I would listen to it rather than watch them 😂 Edit: An idea for an interesting reaction, Beth Hart - Caught out in the rain (Live at the Albert Hall 2018); it was an outstanding show and this was a legendary performance!
I'm pretty sure it's in the video so people don't download it lol. Since then I figured out how to get the video/audio separately when it happens but when I recorded this, I didn't know that was possible. Sorry, I know it's annoying!
@@nikkireviewsThat was actually what people called him back when he was in the Misfits. Evil Elvis. This younger crowd saying that he did not sound like Elvis never heard the early work of his original band. They should listen to “American Nightmare” by The original Misfits. And yes, he does also sound like Jim Morrison of the Doors.
Danzig is a lifelong Elvis fan, and is one of the bigest influences on his singing style.
That's cool! I didn't think of it before when I listened to them but I really heard that in this one.
I always thought his voice was what you would get with Jim Morrison and Elvis combined.
I always think of Billy Idol’s voice on White Wedding when I hear this one.
Hence the nickname HElvis
Glenn Danzig was also the singer of the Misfits.
The first few albums from Danzig were awesome!
Glenn Danzig is 5'4" of ass kicking power.
Well, not so much after that guy dropped him like a "bad transmission" backstage that one time🤣🤣
@@tomfoolery342 With a sucker punch and people holding Danzig back.
I can believe it! 😅
👀
@@tomfoolery342 if you mean that bouncer...that did happen lol

He sounds like Elvis.
That's why they call Danzig "Evil Elvis." 😤
Sounds a lot like Jim Morrison (The Doors)to me. Also reminds me of Ian Astbury from The Cult.
I was also thinking about Ian.
That reminds me, as The Cult appeared in the poll yet?
Twist Of Cain is another great Danzig song to check out. You might even want to take a listen to Misfits- Die Die My Darling, Danzig used to sing for them back in his punk days.
I think DIRTY BLACK SUMMER is my favorite DANZIG song, TWIST O CANE is great too
I will have to check those out, thank you!
I saw him live with Marilyn Manson at the haunted Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, AL. I loved him ever since he sang for The Misfits, but I realized he sounds like the drunk guy who hung out at Moe's Tavern on The Simpsons and now I can't unhear it lol.
Danizig is the best of all time! More & more.
I've really been enjoying them so far!
Excellent reaction
Thank you! ☺️
"Big Guy though"
hes got that comic book accurate wolverine look
haha... ..on mtv they used to make fun of this song, like "who is he to tell children to stay away, is hi Michael Jackson"
Glen also wrote song for Johnny cash and Roy Orbison I think

Glenn in his prime looked like personifiction of Wolverine xD
Quit playing, you want the whole band ! 😂
Other musicians gave Glenn Danzig the nickname Evil Elvis

I knew you would love this one Nikki! Enjoy 😂!
The son Elvis didn't know he had.

😱 Oh my gosh, yes! I didn't even think of Volbeat and I love Volbeat! 😂 That's a really good comparison.

His idols growing up were Elvis and Jim Morrison
Im assumng that clicking sound in the audio is for copyright purposes?
It was just in the video itself. 🤷🏻♀️ I never add things like that cause it drives me nuts lol.
Glenn Danzig's voice reminds me a lot of Ian Astbury, from The Cult, although I do consider Ian a better singer.
On that cue, I would suggest "Fire Woman", by The Cult, official music video for the next poll.
Thanks, I'll put it in the poll next week! I've heard of The Cult but I'm not sure I know any songs off the top of my head. 🤔
Please do AFI-Third Season and AFI-Totalimmortal, Davey gives Danzig vibes
Goodluck! Mother!😂
RAMMSTEIN!!❤
betrayed within by pareidolia, wicked by at most fear, jester by lyria

Check him getting KO
Evil elvis
cool, you have reviewed Henry Rollins' boyfriend!
Their first three albums were good. After that they kind of went off the boil a bit. Mother is a classic.
Reminds me more of JIM MORRISON
Not Elvis, please don't offend Glenn like that. Sounds like Jim Morrison. Even my mother (no pun intended), who was a huge Doors fan said he sounded like Jim back when this came out.

Please go back and listen to the misfits, where he came from.
I thought this guy was awesome until I met him backstage and he stood up to my belt buckle. He is still cool. But 4'11 cool.
4'11 cool is still a type of cool. I wouldn't have thought that though, interesting. 🤔
How the gods Kill
react to, "leave out all the rest" from link park, you'll like it ;)
Hi Nikki
Thought maybe you would enjoy Glenn shirt less,lol.Mother is one of the better songs of Danzig.
Does it remind you of Elvis? Listen to 'American Nightmare' by The Misfits... The influence of Elvis and Jim Morrison is too noticeable.
The clicking sounds in the background are what's destroying tis reaction. Your reaction was great, but just go back and watch your video. The clicks are louder than the music.
Song is about censorship
That makes sense!
No, it's about being a 4'11" creep with an inferiority complex. All those lyrics about being "tough", and his only good video shows him being beaten up and crying.😄
Elvis? Nah not really. I don't see that at all. He sounds a bit like Jim Morrison I guess, but I think he's unique enough to have his own category.
Not trying to disparage but Danzig is only 5’4”
He "sounds" like Elvis. Nowhhere near though.

He does not sound like elvis, the only thing they have in common is side burns
Evil elvis
Evil Elvis.. I kinda like that lol.
