He’s a really great man. He could just dog his past band members. He was at my house 2 weeks ago. It was so cool !!!!! I will never forget it. He was wonderful to my 7 yr old granddaughter . She loves him so much. She watched him play and never looked away . ♥️
I had the pleasure of meeting Michale after an acoustic show in some little meaningless shit town in PA. It was towards the end of his tour, you could tell he was tired and spent, but he stayed to speak with every fan who wanted to talk to him or take a photo (no charge). When it was my turn to speak with him, it was just one of those heartfelt moments that I will keep with me forever. After I told him how much his work meant to me, he locked eyes with me and just let me know how grateful he was that he could be a part of my life in some positive way. No bullshit, no rushing...he went out of his way to go above and beyond. I know some people say to never meet your heroes, cuz they will let you down, but this guy was as far from that as you could get. Amazing. I walked away shaking. It was a real moment. So especially now, when people are talking shit about him because of his views, I want you to know that this dude is a legitimately good and caring person. And he had nothing but positive things to say about Jerry and Doyle, which says alot.
He's such a cool guy! I as well got to meet him in a bar in a small town. So humble and so kind. He even asked if he could sit with a group of the patrons. He gave out these VIP passes and he signed it for me and signed my shirt I bought, and I got a picture with him. And that's not even the coolest part, he gave me some really good life advice. He said never lie to yourself, you're strong and you can always succeed if you're honest with yourself. And he gave me a hug when I told him I've been a fan since I was in high school. Such a cool dude, I'm still shocked I got to meet him.
Whether you are a Danzig fan or a Graves fan... I hope we can ALL agree that both those lineups were infinitely better than all the garbage Jerry Only did to the band after Graves left.
The Devils Rain does have a few good tracks, and a few stinkers. I actually really enjoy The Black Hole, Land Of the Dead, twilight of the dead, curse of the mummies hand, vivid red, unexplained and ghost of Frankenstein (where do they go is also decent). I will admit that death ray, father, Jack the Ripper and cold in hell are not something I really enjoy. Sleepwalking is good or bad depending on my mood
82avidfan you’re even more delusional than he is ...it was on charts for 2 weeks and only made it to like # 140. Platinum = 1 MILLION copies sold . I’d be surprised if it cracked barely any 100,000
Hahhaa Michael graves thinks his version of misfits is 4-5 times more in demand than with Glenn? 😂😂😂 I seen graves misfits at a 1200 man club and wasn’t even sold out. Glenn’s version sells out 16,000+
@@perturabo420 na. It could have happened but Graves ruined his own chance. His own solo band quit on him. Plus why would Jerry and Doyle want to go back to playing at small clubs?
Graves IS The Misfits. It’s absurd they’re not making new music together. Danzig is the goat, but Graves really connected with me. Great vocalist, great showman, great writer.
My son has austism, and he will only listen to the mosters albun . Something about michaels voice. HELL YEA A REUNION. I meet Michael in person , and all I can say is that his beyond the misfits, his not only bad ass , but a very kind person and cool as he'll . To meet you hero and to find our his more than just a misfit really hits home . Michael is genuinely a down to earth person . And yes I'll pay whatever they ask if Michael was singing.
I've got to agree with the masses here. When he said a Graves era reunion would be more successful is a bit of a reach. I LOVE Graves era just as much as Danzig era so the hype from me would be about the same. I started listening to the Misfits in 2002 or so so Graves era was still pretty fresh even though it had already ended. I have a special place in my heart for both. I don't think the Graves reunion would be as financially successful as Glenn but fuck would it be fun as hell.
I was never really into the Graves era but I am really happy I watched this, I have a lot of respect for him even if I do not like most of his Misfits songs although I really liked his "blitzkrieg" versions of the Ramones stuff when he was jamming with Mark, so much in-fact that I actually became choked up during a version of MY BRAIN IS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN he sang, so I don't discredit his talents whatsoever, I just have a very personal vibe about the misfits origins and Danzig's legacy and sound/style that I won't get into here. But my point here is that I am grateful to hear how the experience effected Michael and how righteous he is regardless of my musical opinions or whatever. Thanks for the great video and the unexpected closure it gave me. Sincerely, Adam Roth
It’s true it would be awesome to have graves play with the misfits again I will go. People don’t understand that Danzig and Graves are different eras. Graves revived the misfits when Danzig left it took hard work for Jerry Only to find to fill in Danzig shoes. Nothing against Danzig I like the guy and I like his era with the Misfits but I love Graves and his era got me into the Misfits in the first place I know the albums by heart I really enjoyed last June show with Danzig era of songs everyone had a great time I’m sure Graves with the Misfits will be awesome as well. There’s Danzig fans and there’s Graves fans I like them both badass frontman for the Misfits but I got much more love for Graves I hope they’ll make it happen. Let’s Go!!!!!!! Fiend club baby!!!!!
Jerry almost didn’t hire Graves, but Peter Steele supported Graves and told him “This is your man”. From one of my favorite musicians to another, it was cool hearing that story.
@@LetsGoMetsGo33 i just saw em with Glenn in LA. they played a great. Jerry plays a great show. motherfukers will play almost every single song the misfits ever recorded. No breaks. at the end of the show he sits on the edge of the stage and gives away all his apparel. Jerry Only is an amazing guy, seriously. the misfits are only around today because of him.
@@davestuddaman8127 I'm a very big fan, just going for the "bullet" reference matching the OP. Seen them with Glenn twice (NJ and NYC), seen 'em with Graves twice, and IDK, maybe 4 times with Jerry singing. Hope they'll be back around again with Glenn.
@@davestuddaman8127 Jerry is not who you think he is. Try wearing a Glenn Danzig t-shirt and see how Jerry treats you if there's no one else around. Jerry is an ego maniac. Jerry turned, what was one of the greatest bands of all time, into a joke. He needed to be the focus of the band. He didnt like Michale getting attention and writing better songs than he ever could. It's no coincidence that back in 2009 Gorgeous Frankenstein opened up for Danzig. Gorgeous Frankenstein had Doyle and Chud in the band. Michale joined them on stage and they did a mini Graves era Misfits set. Then Doyle joined Glenn on stage for a mini classic Misfits set. Jerry wasn't involved. His own brother didn't want anything to do with him because of, what basically came down to, his ego. Also the same reason Marky Ramone left. Jerry tries really hard to portray himself about being all for the fans, but he's only all for the fans if they're gushing over him. He didn't make the Misfits in any way, he ruined the Misfits and he can't sing or write a decent song to save his life.
nice to see that michael is so humble about it all. i really figured he "rock stard" on them. im really happy to see that isnt the case. and ive heard MANY times that the misfits is a very very hard group to be in. for pretty well documented reasons.
I'm a big fan of the Graves' edition of The Misfits, but a reunion of that era of the band would be 4 or 5 times SMALLER than the current Danzig edition of the band. That said, that would still be a pretty nice turnout and nothing to sneeze at. I'd love to see it!
met michale after a concert in burlington, vermont in 2012. i was psyched to see him, and he played to about 15 people. the most amazing part...he made it feel like a sold out arena. he played songs that mean the world to me...and afterwards, by chance, i got to meet him and show him my tattoo of the american psycho cover, and why i chose a tattoo that was aimed to his era. i hate his politics, and and try to only focus on his music. i would love a reunion of the misfits of the late 90's/early 2000's, but with the fact that danzig sells out arena's, i doubt we will ever see it.
what graves said there at the end is absolutely true. you know it because Jerry is going around pretending him alone is the misfits, the guy wants all the attention. Michael Graves brought them back from the dead, he deserves a band that respects that and I hope now he has it.
Ok I was down for everything he was saying till the very end when he said his reunion would be 5x bigger than the Danzig reunion? C'mon... now I am questioning everything he said up until then... oh well, still the 2nd best era of the Misfits.
@@jd0604 I can understand that. I also got into the Misfits from the Graves era but once I got into the Danzig stuff I got sick of the Graves stuff. I can't speak for America cuz Im from Canada. I gotta admit my brothers might agree with you haha. 🤘
You got a band that has been operating for more than 40 years and none of the past or present members are dead or dying yet ,a reunion could go well with either lineup, because the "Misfits" name is what the fans are looking at for the most part. If any of the original members are there at all, people will show up.
I’d like to see a reunion to something like this: Graves and the boys come out and perform the American Psycho + Famous Monsters discography. After their last track, The Fiend comes on stage and “kills” Graves. Fiend takes off his mask, and it’s Glenn. Then they start performing Static Age + Walk Among Us stuff.
He was talking about demand among the fans guys, not how many people would show up. He may be wrong about the size of the reunion, but there is a hell of a demand among the fans for him.
I just watched The Original Misfits in Chicago and it was unbelievable fucking good. Graves made me think about his words, I don't know if it can be bigger than The Originals, I doubt it, but for sure will be fucking crazy and fun to watch, I grew up with the 2 Graves era albums
Id say at least a quarter of misfits fans prefer graves-2 very different styles of vocals-I get danzig is the bulk of fans favourite but there wud b a reasonable amount who prefer graves
I wasn't a misfits fan when I met this dude at st Andrews in Detroit. I was selling weed and he wanted a bunch. He gave me passes to the show the next day Misfits Anthrax and Cannibal Corpse. Best part was my ex was a huge misfits fan. She didn't expect to see me there or with backstage passes🤣🤣🤣 thanks again for that dude!!
Thats only because Danzig is there, and people wanna hear the classics.... You think anywhere near that many people come to see them if jerry is trying to play one of his albums in its entirety? Hell to the nizz-o
$150 per ticket and up for the 2019 shows... Just saw the video and unfortunately Danzig's voice is absolutely shot :/ ... fun of course, but not the $150 fun... I'd rather see Graves
@@op-z i just went and saw graves on the 12th and it was AWESOME. Him and his band are all great, the ticket price was more than reasonable, and at the end of the set he came down to the merch table and took pictures with and signed whatever anybody wanted to come say hi. The dudes humble, generous, and does shit for his fans. I stood in line for 40+ minutes TWICE because i had something else out in the car I wanted him to see and sign. If he was a dick hole I'd have just left, but he was super cool and didn't enforce any of that "1 picture per person" shit or anything you'd expect somebody like danzig to do.
I went and saw the original misfits lineup in jersey. It was nostalgic, yes, but it sounded like hot trash in an arena. Dont get me wrong, I'm glad I was there, but the misfits were not meant for arenas.
My imagination pictures a world tour with Jerry, Danzig ( doing half his set) same with Graves, Doyle ,Chud touring the world to finally fuck off covid
The original misfits songs were iconic because they're short whereas the new iteration played "Ballad" Style .... I've been to both LA Shows but... Picture this The original Misfits play their set Oct. 19th at the Garden in NYC after the encore ..138 plays... and the garden goes dark and you hear a Heartbeat sound and they start a "Double Encore" ohhhohohohhhhhhh Crowd goes Balls out nuts.... it's the 1997 "American Psycho" misfits with Michael Graves.... and they play a set ending with "saturday night..." Then the stadium goes dark..... and a "Danzig" Logo appears on the screen .... and you hear... "MOTHERRRRRRRRR.............." Awwww the crowd goes wild and they spill out into the streets of NYC and riot in the streets and kill A$AP Rocky for just cause
The Danzig vs Graves will always be a discussion...but can we all agree Doyle fucking rules ! I've had the chance recently to see graves on his American Monster tour playing his 2 Misfits albums and fuck....amazing. I will say I'm more of a Graves fan but that's problay due to the timing of those albums growing up. Would love to see see both on stage together leading vocals but that will never happen, so fuck it. Listen to the music and fuck the drama
Thought I was going to get a little more outta this interview than him just complaining about how he got fucked Over Jerry took advantage of him and ruined the misfits
Honestly, I think that the Graves era was more successful, but I think he knows he'll never be Danzig unfortunately. What's crazy though is that Michael has been many things. He's been an EMT, he enlisted in the Marines right after 9-11, is a patriot and is still a successful musician but what has Danzig done besides play music?
Ehhhh. I think that the OG lineup reunion appeals to people even outside of the Misfits fans. A Graves reunion would appeal to just Graves era fans. Micheal Graves is my favorite Misfits vocalist, but for him to say itd be bigger than the OG reuinion... I love you dude, but nah it wouldnt be lol
Jhon Cafiero... The person who do harder The life in Misfits for Graves... Who has Jhon Cafiero? I du know, mabye Singer or producuer or something, but only Is Cool by asociation...
I wouldn’t mind a Graves reunion. Honestly I think they should all go on tour have the first half of the show be Graves era and the 2nd half of the show be Danzig era. Then just skip the botched abortion of theJerry Only era. But I don’t think Danzig’s ego would accept that.
C Davis Danzig and Jerry announcing these “one off” reunion shows is just a ploy to get people to go. They still fucking hate each other the whole things is a huge cash grab and a mutual agreement to prevent them suing each other again. Its actually pretty shameful really.
I'm sure a Graves era Misfits reunion on a large scale would be pretty massive, due to the OG Misfits reunion bringing more attention back to that era and the recent wave of pop punk nostalgia. I'm sure Glenn and Jerry's legal contract has some sort of non-compete clause that would keep it from happening any time soon, but if there's ever been a right time for this (obviously for monetary reasons on Jerry's part) it would be as soon as it could legally happen. I'm just honestly severely disappointed that Jerry couldn't suck it up and try to make things work with Michale for the fans years ago. Danzig reunion needed to happen, but damn it, we missed out on so much potentially awesome music/tours from the Graves era for stupid reasons.
Graves brought them back they was broken up because of Danzig so in a way he hooked up with them and got their music heard to the new people so in a way if he never hooked up with them they be forgotten and still broken up graves is a way better singer
I've always enjoyed the Danzig Misfits more so than the Graves, but I still dig the Graves era too. Now, that said, he is kidding himself if he truly believes there to be more hype for a 90s Misfits reunion lol.
I do appreciate the Graves era but it wasn’t the misfits. To say the demand would be greater than it is for the originals is insane. I’ve seen the originals at MSG and in Tampa and there’s no way the graves lineup would fill those places.
Best line up, too bad they were shitty with him because even cuts from the crypt was amazing and even 1 or 2 albums more would be better than jerry burying the band into the ground.
1) Why did you censor when he said JOHN CAFIERO? 2)Man, he's bald AF, even tho he's barely 40... he's gotta keep the sides shaves closer so it's not obvious, it's a non-rock n' roll look man. But a talented, cool guy. 3) There IS a demand for the reunion, but no, its not comparable to the Glenn demand. It would be similar to Ozzy with Sabbath (ie- the real Sabbath), and then Tony and Geezer would play with Dio as Heaven and Hell. There was demand for that, but it didn't rival the demand for the original outfit. If Graves reunited with the Caiafa bros, they could call themselves "American Psycho" (or "famous monsters"). They could play 3k-5k capacity places, while Danzig does his Danzig stuff, and then they all get together to play the 15k to 25k places. Better than Doyle playing to like 200 on his own and Jerry twiddling his thumbs. If Glenn would "allow" it.... would be awesome. 4) Good questions about the Ramones!
@@MegaKoeyKue Yeah the D-lock combover is the worst haircut in the world, lol. Danzig's lost a lot on top too (might be part of why he hates the camera). Of course its not Mikey's fault, I'm just saying he should he should shave the sides with a straight razor frequently to avoid the shadow. The shaved head thing works, see Halford for example, but the bald on top, hair on sides (ie- the Costanza), not so much. That is, as long as he's professionally active. Just my thoughts.
I love the Misfits Graves and Danzig eras but the whole band has always been built around huge egos. Danzig, Jerry and Doyle are all major douchebags fighting over who is the biggest star its pathetic. I get not everyone likes the Graves era of the band but like it or not Graves is super talented and with him as frontman they gained a whole new legion of fans and this line up along with Metallica is responsible for most people myself included being aware of them at all. BUT they fucked it up and threw it away because Jerry and Doyle cared more about being more famous than Michale. Its sad.
Albert Affeldt he looks find bald, probably has MPB and as far as being "tough" he was in the most famous punk band of all time so I think that says enough about that.
@@connorohalloran9225 I'm a huge Misfits fan Danzig era and Graves era. I'm a Danzig and Samhain fan as well. I've seen Danzig several times, Misfits with Only on lead, and Michale Graves live. I don't care what the guy looks like, I like his music... that doesn't make him a bad ass though.
All misfits up to project 1950 and after is not good at all... Danzig era is best... Graves era is still good to me those 2 albums were actually fire... Earth A.D. was the best album.

The Graves Era was awesome. They shoulda broke up after Michael Graves left. Jerry Ran The Misfits into the ground after he left.
Ok I was down for everything he was saying till the very end when he said his reunion would be 5x bigger than the Danzig reunion? C'mon... now I am questioning everything he said up until then... oh well, still the 2nd best era of the Misfits.
Maybe in America the Danzig era is bigger but im not sure over here in Europe. A lot of us got into Misfits during the Graves era.
@@jd0604 I can understand that. I also got into the Misfits from the Graves era but once I got into the Danzig stuff I got sick of the Graves stuff. I can't speak for America cuz Im from Canada. I gotta admit my brothers might agree with you haha. 🤘
@@BrockAwesome Well maybe i'm wrong in hindsight lol..i also listen to the Danzig records more so what the hell do i know?
You got a band that has been operating for more than 40 years and none of the past or present members are dead or dying yet ,a reunion could go well with either lineup, because the "Misfits" name
is what the fans are looking at for the most part. If any of the original members are there at all, people will show up.
the text automatically says "toil" instead of "Doyle."
I wonder who's name they muted when Graves was speaking at the 2:24 mark?
John Cafiero im pretty sure
Glen Danzig
New project! Graves&Doyle!
2:24 why is this muted? anyone know what name he just dropped?
“John something” ?
Looks to me like John Cafiero, not sure what he was referring to tho
Same! I was wondering who's name the editor muted out, or should I say CENSORED out!
He said Glen Danzig is fat
He was their Jason Newsted
We Are the Fiend Club! ☠️🦇
I’d like to see a reunion to something like this:
Graves and the boys come out and perform the American Psycho + Famous Monsters discography. After their last track, The Fiend comes on stage and “kills” Graves. Fiend takes off his mask, and it’s Glenn. Then they start performing Static Age + Walk Among Us stuff.
Hell yeah a new Graves !
Cool guy, honest answers.
O-H!!!...
@@rickymagilljr.8129 -I-O!!!
He was talking about demand among the fans guys, not how many people would show up. He may be wrong about the size of the reunion, but there is a hell of a demand among the fans for him.
another Misfits Album with Michale - I would buy it blindly!
what an abrupt end
I am so happy I saw them 1999. I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY..one of the greatest vocalists ever ..
This dude is crazy if he thinks his era would be more in demand than the Danzig era. Graves was good but Danzig is a legend.
I just watched The Original Misfits in Chicago and it was unbelievable fucking good. Graves made me think about his words, I don't know if it can be bigger than The Originals, I doubt it, but for sure will be fucking crazy and fun to watch, I grew up with the 2 Graves era albums
I would love graves reunion
Id say at least a quarter of misfits fans prefer graves-2 very different styles of vocals-I get danzig is the bulk of fans favourite but there wud b a reasonable amount who prefer graves
Na I'd be way more hyped for a famous monsters era reunion
Graves rules.
Michael let me sinng with him in Detroit cus he liked my blue devillok. Cool fucking dude.
i can’t stand when people wanna compare the 2 eras and say whose better... they were both great so who gives a fuck? enjoy the fuckin music
I wasn't a misfits fan when I met this dude at st Andrews in Detroit. I was selling weed and he wanted a bunch. He gave me passes to the show the next day Misfits Anthrax and Cannibal Corpse. Best part was my ex was a huge misfits fan. She didn't expect to see me there or with backstage passes🤣🤣🤣 thanks again for that dude!!
...he’s delusional . Misfits just drew $1.3million in ONE show in Chicago in an arena .
Thats only because Danzig is there, and people wanna hear the classics....
You think anywhere near that many people come to see them if jerry is trying to play one of his albums in its entirety?
Hell to the nizz-o
$150 per ticket and up for the 2019 shows... Just saw the video and unfortunately Danzig's voice is absolutely shot :/ ... fun of course, but not the $150 fun... I'd rather see Graves
@@op-z i just went and saw graves on the 12th and it was AWESOME.
Him and his band are all great, the ticket price was more than reasonable, and at the end of the set he came down to the merch table and took pictures with and signed whatever anybody wanted to come say hi.
The dudes humble, generous, and does shit for his fans.
I stood in line for 40+ minutes TWICE because i had something else out in the car I wanted him to see and sign. If he was a dick hole I'd have just left, but he was super cool and didn't enforce any of that "1 picture per person" shit or anything you'd expect somebody like danzig to do.
I went and saw the original misfits lineup in jersey. It was nostalgic, yes, but it sounded like hot trash in an arena. Dont get me wrong, I'm glad I was there, but the misfits were not meant for arenas.
@@delta8576 That too! It's like seeing a black metal band in the daylight :D
No bigger Graves fan than me, but it’s a little silly to say a Graves Misfits reunion would be bigger than the Glenn one
My imagination pictures a world tour with Jerry, Danzig ( doing half his set) same with Graves, Doyle ,Chud touring the world to finally fuck off covid
🤣🤣🤣
It's a shame, I loved the Graves albums as much, or maybe more than the Danzig albums.
What did he say at 2:23 ?
I think it was John Cafierro.
he said Glen Danzig
Make the reunion Happen
The original misfits songs were iconic because they're short whereas the new iteration played "Ballad" Style .... I've been to both LA Shows but...
Picture this
The original Misfits play their set Oct. 19th at the Garden in NYC
after the encore ..138 plays... and the garden goes dark and you hear a Heartbeat sound
and they start a "Double Encore"
ohhhohohohhhhhhh Crowd goes Balls out nuts.... it's the 1997 "American Psycho" misfits with Michael Graves.... and they play a set ending with "saturday night..."
Then the stadium goes dark.....
and a "Danzig" Logo appears on the screen ....
and you hear...
"MOTHERRRRRRRRR.............."
Awwww the crowd goes wild and they spill out into the streets of NYC and riot in the streets and kill A$AP Rocky for just cause
@Marvin Cruz MOtherrrrrrrrr
Lex Luthor on Misfits
I just can't help but to wonder what the hell they did to him that was sooo bad.
It’s so hard to choose between Glenn and graves they both had styles and were different
It's not really THAT hard. Graves does both eras better.
No reason to choose just like both
The Danzig vs Graves will always be a discussion...but can we all agree Doyle fucking rules ! I've had the chance recently to see graves on his American Monster tour playing his 2 Misfits albums and fuck....amazing. I will say I'm more of a Graves fan but that's problay due to the timing of those albums growing up. Would love to see see both on stage together leading vocals but that will never happen, so fuck it. Listen to the music and fuck the drama
I would love a graves reunion but no it would not be as big. Just saw the misfits in Chicago and Danzigs still got it.
Did he just say he could out draw Danzig by 4 or 5 times?
it'd be astro-zombical.
Poor lil guy, lol if you think Jerry was bad......From the stories I heard, Danzig is even worse.
Thought I was going to get a little more outta this interview than him just complaining about how he got fucked Over Jerry took advantage of him and ruined the misfits
Neck beard nerds are still talking about Graves vs Danzig... the most viewed Misfits songs on UA-cam are Graves songs.. Case closed..
That’s because everyone owns Glenn Danzig Misfits albums and stream a few great songs with Graves on vocals.
Honestly, I think that the Graves era was more successful, but I think he knows he'll never be Danzig unfortunately.
What's crazy though is that Michael has been many things. He's been an EMT, he enlisted in the Marines right after 9-11, is a patriot and is still a successful musician but what has Danzig done besides play music?
Facts
@@generalhotpizza480 and he's very down to earth, he told me some stuff when I got to meet him after a show. He told me never lie to yourself.
Ehhhh. I think that the OG lineup reunion appeals to people even outside of the Misfits fans. A Graves reunion would appeal to just Graves era fans. Micheal Graves is my favorite Misfits vocalist, but for him to say itd be bigger than the OG reuinion... I love you dude, but nah it wouldnt be lol
Jhon Cafiero... The person who do harder The life in Misfits for Graves... Who has Jhon Cafiero? I du know, mabye Singer or producuer or something, but only Is Cool by asociation...
Michale Graves is the best. He gave me a hug.
I wouldn’t mind a Graves reunion. Honestly I think they should all go on tour have the first half of the show be Graves era and the 2nd half of the show be Danzig era. Then just skip the botched abortion of theJerry Only era. But I don’t think Danzig’s ego would accept that.
That's ridiculous, there's much more demand for the OG Misfits than Graves era Misfits
C Davis Danzig and Jerry announcing these “one off” reunion shows is just a ploy to get people to go. They still fucking hate each other the whole things is a huge cash grab and a mutual agreement to prevent them suing each other again. Its actually pretty shameful really.
I'm sure a Graves era Misfits reunion on a large scale would be pretty massive, due to the OG Misfits reunion bringing more attention back to that era and the recent wave of pop punk nostalgia. I'm sure Glenn and Jerry's legal contract has some sort of non-compete clause that would keep it from happening any time soon, but if there's ever been a right time for this (obviously for monetary reasons on Jerry's part) it would be as soon as it could legally happen. I'm just honestly severely disappointed that Jerry couldn't suck it up and try to make things work with Michale for the fans years ago. Danzig reunion needed to happen, but damn it, we missed out on so much potentially awesome music/tours from the Graves era for stupid reasons.
Good luck selling tickets to a Graves show of any kind 🤣 Dude is finished.
7:41 is he crazy?? It would be back to the clubs!!
Graves is the homie. Realest dude on the planet. Greatest of all time!
Graves brought them back they was broken up because of Danzig so in a way he hooked up with them and got their music heard to the new people so in a way if he never hooked up with them they be forgotten and still broken up graves is a way better singer
I've always enjoyed the Danzig Misfits more so than the Graves, but I still dig the Graves era too. Now, that said, he is kidding himself if he truly believes there to be more hype for a 90s Misfits reunion lol.
actualyl it is lol
@@Ensid1993 no chance dude lol. A 90s Misfits reunion would not be playing and selling out arenas. They could maybe pack the 2500-person venues.
@@eddie6198 europe prefers graves, usa prefers danzig, do ur math dude
I do appreciate the Graves era but it wasn’t the misfits. To say the demand would be greater than it is for the originals is insane. I’ve seen the originals at MSG and in Tampa and there’s no way the graves lineup would fill those places.
Loved the Graves era!!!!
Fuckin love graves man
This is a joke. Mall Misfits era. This was Doyle's attempt to cash in on Danzigs success.
Best line up, too bad they were shitty with him because even cuts from the crypt was amazing and even 1 or 2 albums more would be better than jerry burying the band into the ground.
Did he say that the Graves reunion would be bigger??
😁😁😂😃😃🤣🤣😃😃😃😁😀😁😂🤣
No he was saying there would be more of a demand for the graves reunion because of the danzig reunion
No he didn't 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
1) Why did you censor when he said JOHN CAFIERO?
2)Man, he's bald AF, even tho he's barely 40... he's gotta keep the sides shaves closer so it's not obvious, it's a non-rock n' roll look man. But a talented, cool guy.
3) There IS a demand for the reunion, but no, its not comparable to the Glenn demand. It would be similar to Ozzy with Sabbath (ie- the real Sabbath), and then Tony and Geezer would play with Dio as Heaven and Hell. There was demand for that, but it didn't rival the demand for the original outfit. If Graves reunited with the Caiafa bros, they could call themselves "American Psycho" (or "famous monsters"). They could play 3k-5k capacity places, while Danzig does his Danzig stuff, and then they all get together to play the 15k to 25k places. Better than Doyle playing to like 200 on his own and Jerry twiddling his thumbs. If Glenn would "allow" it.... would be awesome.
4) Good questions about the Ramones!
It's not unusual for dudes in their late 30s/early 40s to be bald. It's not fair, but it happens.
He could just grow a devilock combover like Jerry.
@@MegaKoeyKue Yeah the D-lock combover is the worst haircut in the world, lol. Danzig's lost a lot on top too (might be part of why he hates the camera). Of course its not Mikey's fault, I'm just saying he should he should shave the sides with a straight razor frequently to avoid the shadow. The shaved head thing works, see Halford for example, but the bald on top, hair on sides (ie- the Costanza), not so much. That is, as long as he's professionally active. Just my thoughts.
Because Cafiero and Only try to sue everybody they can.
I love the Misfits Graves and Danzig eras but the whole band has always been built around huge egos. Danzig, Jerry and Doyle are all major douchebags fighting over who is the biggest star its pathetic.
I get not everyone likes the Graves era of the band but like it or not Graves is super talented and with him as frontman they gained a whole new legion of fans and this line up along with Metallica is responsible for most people myself included being aware of them at all. BUT they fucked it up and threw it away because Jerry and Doyle cared more about being more famous than Michale. Its sad.
word
Graves era with Jerry, Doyle and Chud are only one worth listening.
Graves is awesome. Love his stuff in Misfits. But yeah, never should have cut your hair bro. Hard to look at you bald. Grow ya damn hair back dude
Why should that matter
@@hookieaffeldt339 He just looks lame now. Nothing to do with his music, even though that has been lacking as well these days...
@@Palace-of-Madness Well, he can't pull off the shaved head like Bruce Willis and myself... he's not a tough guy. He's a very little dude.
Albert Affeldt he looks find bald, probably has MPB and as far as being "tough" he was in the most famous punk band of all time so I think that says enough about that.
@@connorohalloran9225 I'm a huge Misfits fan Danzig era and Graves era. I'm a Danzig and Samhain fan as well. I've seen Danzig several times, Misfits with Only on lead, and Michale Graves live. I don't care what the guy looks like, I like his music... that doesn't make him a bad ass though.
All misfits up to project 1950 and after is not good at all... Danzig era is best... Graves era is still good to me those 2 albums were actually fire... Earth A.D. was the best album.
