    I have 1 tattoo..
    it's a misfits tattoo with 2 werewolves from the Howling and the words "We Bite".
    I love the original Misfits.
    That being said.
    The graves era is better.
    I loved Michaels voice.
    You hear all of these stories and the band are kinda bunch of assholes.
    I wish Graves nothingbut all of the success in the world.

    I'm so used to seeing Jon yelling at people on bar rescue. Wouldn't never have thought he even was inro punk rock or knew the misfits. Graves is the best thing that has happened to them since 1983 with Danzig. I love the graves era. I wished I got to see them. Only saw the Jerry misfits but watch recorded M.G. misfits concerts all the time since 2000. Amazing voice Michale has. Great interview! I can't believe he worked at IHOP after misfits. I think he's holding back what really was going on to drive him away. He said he was a yes man.

    Say what you will, but the "Graves era" of the Misfits were a lot of fun live and put on a killer show!.. Don't know much of what Michael has done since leaving the band, nor have I seen him live, but I (still) love his era of the band!.. After Doyle, Chud and Mike quit, I could no longer support the band and says a lot in regard to "Mr Onlys" character when your entire band, even your brother walk out on you!.. Not to mention his version and his singing are abysmal!..

      Damn shame. The first Glenn Danzig reunion show in Vegas was a complete money grab. $250 for the cheap seats and it sucked. I've seen many many Misfits tribute/cover bands who played much better. An American Psycho/Famous Monsters reunion would rake in the same amount of cash as Glenn reunion, but the crowd would go home with a fond memory of an absolute kickass performance and probably an autograph or two.
      Nobody can say the same Glenn.
