    Samhain was the Irish/Gaelic festival now known as Halloween. It is pronounced Sowin. Mí na Shamhna means November in our Irish Gaelic language, hence November's Coming Fire Shamhna=Samhain=November=the advent of November=October 31=Halloween. It's a beautiful feastday that can be seen in the same way as the Mexican Día de los Muertos...it's the celebration of our dead, the astrological and seasonal 'death' of the year and of life as it enters Winter to be reborn in Spring..cyclical.

    Abt the comment that says ppl either trash glenn or praise him/ he seems to me the type who either likes or respects someone or hates them. Not much grey areas.maybe I just get that because Im the same way, but thats probably why ppl either love or hate him too. He seems fine with that.They asked him what he wants his legacy to be after he's gone& all he said was" I don't really care".I can respect that. And the fact that he never wants a child

    There's an interview with Glenn from around 1984 or so, I think it's the one with he and Steve (or was it Eerie?) play the rough mix of "Black Dream". I used to listen to it a lot when I was younger, and I noticed Glenn said "Y'know" every other God damn minute. It was pretty amusing, and it's interesting the London seems to do it too, y'know?

What one fan likes another may not. I prefer his later music of Danzig and most say they prefer the first album. My fav band of his was Samhain, and this guy was a great drummer in Samhain on2 of their better albums.

    London is the (real) reason Glenn changed the band from Samhain to Danzig!. Most don't know that in 1986 Rick Rubin signed "Samhain" and the band was to continue with that name until London was fired and a legal dispute began!. The story has Always been that Glenn changed the name to Danzig as it was a "new band/new chapter" and so that he could "continue on with the band regardless of who was in the band", but the reality is Samhain became Danzig due to legal reasons involving London!..
