Glenn Danzig modeled his vocal style after 3 of his heroes: Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, and Roy Orbison. Once you know that, you can hear it everywhere in all of his songs.
Oooh thought I heard some Jim Morrison in there! Especially if you've ever heard the doors' live performances
The opening is soooo Elvis. I can picture the lip curl in my head as he says it. 🤣🤣🤣
I always thought he'd be good to perform with the Doors' members.
Always thought he sounded like Elvis
Also hearing some Billy Idol and Ian Astbury similarities.
Glen Danzig was the former lead singer of the bands The Misfits and Samhain
Oh, yeah? No shit, Sherlock
@@dhchefe show some respect! Did it occur to you that some people may not have known that?
Current singer for the Misfits. 😉
He is also the former owner of a huge pile of evil bricks.
@@joshuapilger8430 I just saw them in Tampa, and Glen Danzig is on vocals.
One of my favorite descriptions of Danzig's voice that I read somewhere years and years ago is "proof that you can sound just as sinister with a croon as with a growl."
With Sistinas he proves that he can let ANYTHING sound sinister!
Really should have meant that he can do either and both.
Love 13, also. Been a Danzig fan for decades. Also, check out MotionIess In White's live cover of Mother. Very well done. They're a local band who Iives about 2 hrs from where I do in PA.
I had all their albums in my car one day.
Someone broke into the car, stole everything.
Back then it wasn't easy to get just any album so I had to have everything imported for an insane amount of money.
Less than a week after I got all the albums, I found a lot of them in some discount dump basket in some metal-music shop. For about 1/5th of what I paid for having them imported.
@@metalmamasue3680
One of my fave things about Misfits is he sang beautifully. Hit all the notes nice and smooth, didn't try to sound "punk"
You'll want to do a reaction to "How the Gods Kill" from his Danzig III: How the Gods Kill Album from 1992. Probably the peak of his vocal powers. To be noted that he was the originator of the legendary punk group The Misfits, and experimental goth rock/punk/metal hybrid Samhain prior to forming the more blues metal/hard rock band Danzig. Essentially these bands morphed into one another as his musicianship/songwriting improved as did his choices in bandmates. His vocal technique is rooted in his love for Elvis, The Doors, Roy Orbison, Albert King, the delta blues, not just the artist Howlin' Wolf, and all the sell your soul folklore and voodoo the blues carries, but the actual howls of wolves. Put that in a pot with Black Sabbath and you got Danzig. Of interest to newcomers such as yourself is that Danzig has composed 2 original classical instrumental albums (Black Aria I and II), released an album of Elvis covers, and wrote a song each for both Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash that were up there with their best work. But back to the point - How the Gods Kill or Devil's Plaything from 1990's "Lucifuge." You will not be disappointed.
As the years have gone by I've found II to be my favorite overall album he composed. Just so much happening musically and stylistically, none of which feels out of place in the overall orchestration of the collective whole.
I'll go with Thrall/DemonSweat for her to listen to next. So many underrated, unrecognized songs on that album. It's Coming Down is probably one of my favorite Danzig songs of all time. "I'm on fire, and I need a hole."
I had a chance to see all 3 perform at the Newport in Columbus. Yep, Danzig stayed on stage for each and every set. Except for abuot 30 seconds when he elbow dropped off the stage to knock out some asshole in the pit.
Sistinas would be an interesting one for her to break down from Danzig III. Or Heart of the Devil.
Heart of the Devil is one of my Favorites.
His voice has been described as "If Jim Morrison and Elvis had a baby..." =D
Out of wedlock!
What? Danzig can't sing at all
@@playermartin286he can sing it’s just he hasn’t been trained to sing properly
Add Roy Orbison.
@@playermartin286Yeah...no
I have a friend that can't carry a tune in a bucket, but when he has a couple of drinks, he can belt this out with 100% accuracy.
Went to a karaoke bar totally wasted and tried my luck with this song, can't say it was 100% accurate though :)
Its all about the confidence man. If you're confident then you'll try harder
@@marcoreiter5799 I did drunk karaoke in a mostly black bar, being white myself, and sang Thank God I'm a Country Boy in the style of Pauly Shore. I expected to either get my ass kicked or make people laugh. Luckily everyone thought I was hilarious!
we all have that friend.
Just seen this man last week and he blew everyone away being just shy of 70. Feels like he could keep going for another 20 plus. Danzig is legend
Glenn's voice is like Butter, man I grew up listening to Danzig and there ain't any other band with this powerful yet soft sound.
Danzig 1 & 2 were always on repeat from 88-95.. & I'm sad I never got to see Danzig live with Crist & Biscuits
There were so many good bands back then, they had to be good to break out in our world.
30+ years later and still none of us can say the word "Mother" any other way.
Also, Danzig is very underrated. Their first 3 albums are all good, hard, bluesy rock and the fourth album makes you want to hide under your bed.
I have everything Glenn Danzig has ever done, including his two "classical" albums and the Elvis album. His voice is like magic. I still fall asleep to Black Aria I.
Fatherrrrrrr tooo!!!’
The first four albums are awesome
I think the second album was the best of the first three. The first one they were learning who they were and the third they were having their issues, that lead to the end of the classic line up.
@ThumperE23 Those first three records are classic. For me it's How the Gods Kill. Darkest of the three, borders on doom metal.
Before Glenn Danzig started his solo career, he was in one of the most influential bands in heavy music, The Misfits. They influenced everyone from Metallica to Guns N Roses to Rob Zombie, and legions of punk rock bands. The bands logo is iconic and you have probably seen it before
One word: Samhain.
my favorite Misfits story, courtesy of Henry Rollins: "we had just played a show in Berlin and we went to this really shitty dive bar after. While we were getting drinks, I heard the absolute worst Misfits cover band in existence playing in the other room. They were so bad that I just had to go see what was going on. I when into the other room and it turns out it wasn't a cover band... It was just the Misfits"
@@liquidwombat 😂 That is amazing, and I can totally see Rollins saying it.
@@jrkchannel37 Such an underrated comment. I feel Samhain is the perfect blend of the
Misfits and Danzig. I think it is his best work. Initium is a perfect album.
@@jrkchannel37aarrrkaaaaaanggeeeeelll!
Oh man theta that one song I can't think of the name I Wanda call it lupin teeth but that's blitzkid 😂 but it's something about a haunted house with a warewolf.
I saw Danzig live back in 92 and it was hands down the best show I have ever seen. Glenn is one of the best punk/metal vocalists ever.
Where did you see them
When I saw them, I thought the guitarist and bassist were giants. I didn't realize that Danzig was a munchkin. Good show.
This song still gives me chills.
In his prime, Danzig WAS the "Evil Elvis". While his ability to produce and honestly sing these days is lacking, the first 3 or 4 Danzig albums are INCREDIBLE. Just incredibly listenable heavy metal.
Referring to Danzig as "Evil Elvis" Made my day. 😂
Right!? I always thought Jim Morrison. But that a good one too
Unfortunately, you're more right than wrong. I still buy anything he puts out,always some gold in there somewhere.
I saw him live last year, and he was album quality. He sang all the hits from 1-3. I’m going to see him again in September for the 35th anniversary of the first album. The concert will be an album play through.
Spot on. In 1996 I was so stoked for Backacidevil...and then it dropped. I've always hated industrial type music, so I absolutely hated it. Danzig 4 was good, but 1-3 were gold!
The guy is 68 years old and is still a monster both in physique and in his vocals. Super impressive! Been a fan since The Misfits.
He and the saxophone player in the lost boys...... Man they really made an impression on me ❤
I had no idea he came from the misfits until I read this
At only 5’3
Saw him in June, still a freaking legend
How those guys haven’t dropped dead from steroids is insane
She has the most emotive reactions, it's incredible to see music do that to someone.
I mean she's the real life little mermaid so it makes sense.

@@scorpions1965 calm down sting
it's such genius songwriting, how he sings soothingly to the mother but keeps this deep wickedness in his tone to where WE know his motives aren't pure but the mom thinks it's a genuine warning. Then he gets much more aggressive, direct and confrontational with the father, even taunting him and challenging him. Playing on each parent's fears and worries at the same time but in the most effective way per parent.
Great comment!
Prexactly! No one has even mentioned that he's a literal musical phenom, epic poet, and lyrical fucking genius. That's why his music sounds like it does and has literally lasted the test of time and spanned 50 years.
At the same time though Danzig is known to have satanic tones and the terms "Mother and Father" is routed in biblical statements. People usually pray to the "Mother of the Holy Spirit" in Catholicism and the Father is in reference to God himself. The song can be seen as a song about a man telling off parents or it can be seen as "I'm evil incarnate and I'm telling you bluntly I'm not going to bow down and I'm going to show your daughter my evil tonight." Regardless, song freaking rocks.
Classic and well done bad boy metal. I love it 😎💯✊️
As far as the meaning/backstory of the song. In an interview with Big Brother magazine, Danzig offered a rare explanation of his lyrics, claiming the inspiration for "Mother" was Tipper Gore, who as a member of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) pushed for regulations on music she felt was harmful to children. As a result, the record industry agreed to place warning stickers on albums with explicit content.
"I wrote 'Mother' about he PMRC and parents who tell their kids what to listen to. Parents should guide their children, not live their lives for them. Kids should discover life on their own."
Awesome fact! I feel like there should be a list of all the great songs that were written because of Tipper Gore and put out on one album.
So many out there
Without knowing about this Interview I always thought I bet it’s something about Tippers shenanigans. The timing seems prescient for it as well.
It’s wild what we lived through with all that. It’s sad to see what the kids coming out today with the Nu metal scene and the topics they’re tackling.
Btw- did you know big brother was the one non noodie magazine Larry flint owned? He really appreciated the boundaries they were pushing with speech and expression so he bought it up.
@@dash-x read the lyrics to ODE TO TIPPER GORE by WARRANT.....lol
@@williamdrake6711 oooh, I definitely will! Thanks for the suggestion! 😹
@@dash-x very deep lyrics.. lol
Let's face it, Glenn is essentially a Heavy Metal Lounge Singer. And I'm OK with that. He'll always have a place in my playlists.
😂 this is so accurate
That. E the best album ever
I never thought about it that way. Spot on.
I hope I didn't misunderstand your comment. We're all entitled to our opinion. I respect yours. I'm not even a big Danzig fan... but Glenn is legendary. He could front any rock/metal band.
@@twidget59 I'm a huge Danzig fan. He has been quoted as stating his biggest influences while growing up to be Elvis, Roy Orbison, and Jim Morrison. He developed his own swoony singing style, based on them. It's not an insult. Don't look for trouble when there is none.
This song is a masterpiece. The lyrics say more than a surface listen. Kinda an anthem really.
As a child of the 80s, I grew up with amazing music that modern kids just wouldn't get. DIO, Maiden, judas preist, early metallica, GNR, scorpions. It was great.
They get your music every bit as much as you get theirs. See how that works?
We get it alright
Yeah, kids these days have been deprived. They dont call them "songs" anymore, they call them "beats" or "tracks". Either theyre listening to some flavor of the week hip hop, or theyre listening to video game music, beeping and booping. All the artists are dead and gone. The art of songwriting died in 1998.
@@FloorManiac Sounds to me like you're listening to dead people. Don't get me wrong, I do too, but there are plenty of active bands with creative songwriting, and some even conservatively release NWOBHM type stuff, heck there are even live shows and festivals that todays teens go to. Maybe you're just an elitist.
I was born in 1978. I was raised on rock and metal. Best time to grow up.
Danzig has been around forever. I love this guy. He was my gateway drug into a lot of different music, in the 90s. His original bands, the Misfits (late 70s, early 80s) and Samhain are amazing. Nerd note, this song was written in response to Tipper Gore and the music councils Parental Advisory Stickers forced onto albums back in the day;)
Death" Scream Bloody Gore", full album about this.
I actually also loved the "classical" instrumental he released after How the Gods Kill! I bought the tape as soon as it came out. I remember they played it at the opening of their 1993 concert.
@@jenniferbush41 I just got a reissue of Black Aria on vinyl!:)
cool
It's kind of funny how many bands wrote songs in response to her.
Prior to this band, Glenn Danzig was a founding member of the horror punk band The Misfits from 1977-1983 (surely you’ve seen people wearing T-shirt’s with the giant Misfits skull on them). After that, he started the horror punk/gothic rock band Samhain from 1983/84-1986. In 1986/87, hoping to take the band in a rock/metal direction, Samhain’s guitarist was changed and then the drummer as well. Around the same time, Glenn Danzig changed the band’s name to Danzig, so that regardless of any future personal changes, there would be the appearance of continuity.
The first fan they show in the video was someone who clearly painted their face and rocked the Misfits hairstyle (I'd argue Glen's is still pretty close to it, even if he grew out the rest) -- kind of curious about why that was included considering how bad the break-up of the band was...
Saw the misfits a few years ago in Austin and Danzig came back and performed with them. Was pretty awesome!
remember when he was sore about leaving misfits, was at a danzing concert he instructed the crowd to beat anyone up wearing a misfits shirt. a lot of people were topless soon.
@@ryanhampson673 Seriously? I never heard about that...that's definitely awesome
Don't forget about Samhain.. many Danzig songs were Samhain songs before they were Danzig songs. And yeah, Misfits did a tour in 2019 with Danzig, the brothers and Dave Lombardo.
This first Danzig's algum is just precious. It has a Dark Metal Blues quality seen in the first two Sabbath albums but incremented with a Morrison/Elvis vocal.
Glenn Danzig sang for a punk group called the Misfits. He has an amazing singing style. There's an interview where one of his band mates referred to him as the "Punk and Metal Frank Sinatra " because he has that jazzy,lounge singer styling to his vocals
Evil Elvis
I just appreciate that a vocal aficionado with real skill is showing respect to corners of the music world that are long overlooked and relegated as immature. She treats it with real respect and pulls it apart in really intelligent ways.
I agree. She’s so great.l! This channel is awesome
Touché…and what a great way to articulate it in this comment. Well done. I concur.
She should also check out anything from Danzig III and further. He even has a Danzig does Elvis that is absolutely awesome and unique.
I saw Danzig live with Doyle. They had a Danzig, misfits and samhain on their setlist. Awesome show. I will never forget it because now I don't think Glenn really appreciates cameras recording them while playing live. He pointed up at me while I was recording from the balcony. I felt on the spot so I put it down immediately. Then he threw some horns at me. It was a "just live the moment, kid. Have fun." kind of thing. Been living since.
I saw him with Doyle in Seattle way back was so good. I was crowd surfing and he reached his hand out to me. Was like that painting of the guy touching fingers with God. But security ripped me away 😢
I met Doyle once. Die is way too chill 😂
He notoriously does not like people recording his shows.
I understand not wanting to be filmed. I think it's horribly rude if you're at a concert. That said, as much as I like his voice, he's a total fuckin' prick. His music is great (especially with the Misfits), but he's just an angry little meathead. Basically, great artist, complete douche of a human being.
@@richardponton3920 He is a control freak .. he has had video's from the Jon Stewart show , taken off youtube before which don't even really belong to him . John Christ did a live cover of Mother a few years back that was recorded and posted . It suddenly got removed . Danzig sucks
EPIC 🤘😎🤘 that's just one more thing to love about the beast!
Love this channel. Watching her enjoy these songs makes me remember how much I loved hearing them for the first time. I listened to Mother over and over on road trips in college. When she says it was the "shortest, happiest, guitar solo..." I just smiled. I love this channel, because she is showing how to really appreciate musicians like Danzig and the Who. Keep making videos, please.
"How the Gods Kill" and "She Rides" are definitely worth checking out as well. Also, this album was recorded right after The Cult's "Electric" album by the same producer, Rick Ruben. If you listen to the two albums back to back, you can hear the similarities. Particularly in the sound of the guitars and drums.
she rides is one of their best jams. also noteworthy is possession, and soul on fire from same album
Do you wear the mark is a banger
Don’t forget his mash-up with Shakira. 😂
Glenn Danzig has spoken for years about wanting to make a dark blues album with Jerry Cantrell. I really wish they'd finally get around to doing it.
That would be awesome!
I wish he would have made that record instead of Blackacidevil.
That would be awesome.
Yes, please!!!
Omg Jerry and Glenn 🤘Lesssss goooooo!
The song is about censorship of art. Back when people (mothers who got in a group together) wanted to ban certain art and ended up with the "compromise" of the parental advice button you can still find on records. This is Glenns message to these parents.
Didn't know that! Thanks.
And that period of time brought out some interesting champions, including the lead singer of Twisted Sister front and center testifying in front of congress. Always nice to see artists realizing and fighting for free speech and artistic license.
Yeah there was some pretty bipartisan moves to keep "the youth" from being exposed to "inappropriate" music as part of Nancy Reagans "just say no" campaign which was about more than just drugs and Tipper Gore helping to found the Parents Music Resource Center in the mid 80s as was said a bunch of people came to DC about this issue that you might not expect.
PMRC, Parents Music Resource Center, as I recall which got warning labels placed on albums. Jackyl also has a song/video that addressed this topic back in the early 90s.

One of my all time favorite bands. Had the privilege of meeting Eerie Von and he is one amazing guy. Got to meet Glenn Danzig too, in the late 90’s, and he is one odd cat but very very kind and polite. At least he was with me. Kick ass band. I played Twist Of Cain for my high school junior guitar class final and got an A+.
Absolutely love your reaction and giggling to one of my all time favourite songs! It always gives me goosebumps, whether I listen to it in the car or at the gym. Special tune.
Ever since I discovered this channel a year ago, I've been hoping that you'd someday cover Glenn Danzig. My first choice would probably be the song "How the Gods Kill", but still, to see you doing any Danzig song at all totally rules. He's such a unique voice in metal
I LOVE How The Gods Kill! His vocals and the music and just all of it! I swear, Glenn Danzig was making me feel inappropriate things before puberty really took hold.
Oh. Hel. YES!
Definitely How the Gods Kill. Mother is just the front door to all the great Danzig songs :)
Yes, I have suggested the song "How the God's kill" more than once, it would have much more nuances for Elizabeth to wonder about than "Mother".
I love that song... also Warlock is a complete vibe, but mostly slept on by most people imo.
You need to hear him singing "Blood and Tears" or "How the Gods Kill". Danzig is a unique band, it's like hard jazzy blues rock/metal. Also, unfortunelly, you won't find professional live recordings from Danzig simply because Glenn does not allow.
Blood & Tears is definitely a good “outside the box” recommendation.
first 3 cd`s everything is great...
There's one or two live Danzig performances from TV shows on UA-cam.
Agreed. ‘How the Gods Kill’ is their greatest song. I’d argue ‘Mother’ is probably his best vocal though.
@@mongolmcphee7791
Nah, dude. It's hard to pick just one great Danzig vocal, but Sistinas is up there, as is Bodies. Mother is pretty standard.
I grew up in the 70' sand when disco came around punk rock pulled me in. Danzig is so much of my early life and still today.My best friends father was VP of CBS records,so I saw many concerts with back stage pass's!I glad your a fan now.Thank you so much. Topher
I love that you picked up on his jazzy/blues voice immediately.
Danzig's Going down to die is one of my favorite songs ever.
So many amazing songs. I agree and also "soul on fire". But a one off with a different sound is "You and me" from the less than zero soundtrack. I didn't find it until the mid 2000's since it is on a soundtrack but Glenn is amazing on that track
Anyone else get excited when she gave her first impressions thinking, "girl, you have no idea what kind of treat youre in for" Glenn Danzig is one of rocks greatest voices
He wrote a song for Roy Orbison and for Johnny Cash whom when he told his dad his dad replied that he was finally impressed with his music.
The cash song is 13 or thirteen. It's a good one
My old man and I used to rock out to this song every Saturday morning when I was a kid. Still one of my all time favorite songs.
It's awesome how delighted you are, reviewing these videos.
This song is about the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center.) It was written for Tipper Gore, (Al Gore’s wife) the founder of the PMRC. They are the reason we had “Parental Advisory” stickers on Tapes and CD’s. Which, as a teenager, just told which CD’s I should definitely listen to. 😂 😂😂 You should definitely listen to The Misfits now. That’s what Glenn Danzig is famous for. I’d recommend “Hybrid Moments” “Some kind of hate” “Astro Zombies.” “Vampira” “Bullet”. Not all Misfits songs are the same in sound and quality.
pmrc total communism same thing this government is promoting today
I never went down the Danzig rabbit hole, but I did love a few of their songs and saw them once live. Just created a play list and added every single one of these songs. Thanks for the tip
My first impression of Danzig's singing, many years ago, was that he sounded like Jim Morrison had discovered metal.
Like another commenter said, Jim, Elvis, and Roy Orbison were heroes of his who he modeled his voice after
Jim Morrison was a total fake. Google search term: "WEIRD TIMES IN LAUREL CANYON" (or similar).
Danzig's $hit hot, esp. on Lucifuge & 4.
Your enthusiasm and sincerity is delightful!
Great insight. I've watched this video multiple times so awesome.
What I think I love most about your channel is the sheer joy you get listening to the music I grew up with and were told repeatedly “it’s not real music. It’s just noise.” And then, as a vocal expert you break it down and showcase all the talent that the “real music lovers” couldn’t see.
It’s so validating and I love just watching you share in the wonder I had as a kid with these songs.
Thank you for being you and putting this channel out.
100% appreciate the validation. Couldn't count how many times I heard that my music was just noise. Love Elizabeth, and her enjoyment.
I'm not a huge Danzig fan, but this is great. I didn't think it was possible to love Dio more than I always have, but after watching her react to him, I absolutely love him more because of her 😍
I grew up with that religious nonsense--they'd rag about how all the songs talked about "Love" and how that was just repeated and drawn out and said differently (LoooOOOoovvveeeeee), but this stuff from 200 years ago, now THAT's music! And what do I hear? Handel's Messiah, where they spend 2 minutes drawing out the word "hallelujah", and another 10 just repeating the word. Such hypocrisy!
I can get that more extreme metal (or other experimental music) might sound as "just noise" for an untrained ear, but a person who says the same about Danzig seriously lacks musical sensibility.
Completely agree.
Well spoken! I love her authenticity!
How The Gods Kill is another awesome Danzig song.
I love watching you watch these videos I’ve seen hundreds of times. You ALWAYS make me look at them so differently. Almost as if I’m watching them for the first time. Watching them with new eyes and listening with new ears. Thank you for that. ❤❤❤❤
Spot on with this review ma’am. You’ve got a great ear, matched with well-versed narration. As a big Danzig fan, you did well in giving and taking when needed. If any critique, I would listen through and separate the review so the song is not as interrupted. Enjoyed your energy throughout.
" How The Gods Kill" is by far my favorite of theirs and definitely worth a listen.
This this 😊
one nobody ever recommends "sistinas"
@@the.wayne.b I would recommend it, although I actually prefer the live version off Thrall/Demonsweatlive; it has more of an Elvis quality to it.
I always love how you have a giddiness when you enjoy songs you hear for the first time, that I've enjoyed my entire life. It's almost like I'm listening to these songs for the first time through your eyes, remembering those "woah, that sounds so good" moments, and I thank you for that. Your analysis here helps me appreciate Glenn's talent that much more.
I couldn't quite put my finger why I stuck around her channel. But you put it quite nicely. There's something magical in sharing that enthusiasm and enjoyment when someone discovers something that you enjoy. :D
She's great! She says what I'm thinking, just much more technical knowledge. Perhaps she explains what I hear? I know I like it, then she tells us why.
I couldn't agree more. She shed's light on exactly why I love these songs so much. Things I never realized.
A very deft description of the appeal Elizabeth's content has.😊
Perfectly said. That is exactly what got me hooked and why I subscribed to her channel.
I'm glad you got around to analyzing Glenn and explaining his vocal ability. The first three Danzig albums are some of the best in the blues metal genre. Every time I watch this video, i chuckle at the memory of the first time my Mom stopped and watched it. When it ended, she looked at me and said "Good grief! He's sweaty and I'm just going to refer to him as 'His Sweatiness' from now on!'" She likes very little metal from my educating her on it and Danzig is one of the bands she really likes for the bluesy and heavy groove in addition to Glenn's voice.
I have heard this done so many times since it came out and I got so much joy watching you experience it!!! I love your insights!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Danzig is so cool. He was also the singer of like one of the most famous Punk bands Misfits.
As others have said, Blood and Tears and How the Gods Kill are great examples of Glenn's voice in his prime. Those first four albums are perfection.
You and Me from the Less Than Zero soundtrack as well
@@ferox965That's a great mention, I would love for her to hear the beginning of "Heart of the Devil". And since she knows some Johnny Cash, maybe the song Thirteen that Glenn wrote for him...
how the gods kill was fantastic.. even the weird song "Cant Speak" is phenomenal.
I love Elizabeth's reactions to metal songs. She is so very talented and knowledgeable, and the way she presents herself on camera is absolutely adorable. She is not only beautiful, but her infectious enthusiasm for her craft and has made me consider learning how to actually learn techniques so that I can confidentiality sing somewhere other than in the car or the shower. Keep up the fantastic work!
his use of dynamics is masterfully done 🔥
Actually, Danzig is in Poland and is now called Gdansk, but back when it was part of Germany, that was its German name.
Not just back then ... It's still called that in Germany...
I love the vocal performance of this song so much. This brings me back to when I used to only listen to Danzig and misfits all day long lol 😂🔥🔥
Yeah, I had an obsession with misfits since I was young. Me and my friend saw that concert on that detroit public access channel in like 2nd or 3rd grade.
@@AliceBowie Yes I was real obsessed with them too! They were just different from what was out at that time, and that’s what intrigued me the most. I was blessed to meet Doyle Wolfgang and tell him how much their music made my youth awesome.
Why would you stop?
@@FACTBOT_5000 lol ehh I was really limiting myself with music at that time so I had to expand and give myself more variety. They’re always in my rotation though lol
@@nmmboy Right on.
I enjoy all your videos. As the song amps up, I start to get excited and it gives me goosebumps while listening, then she presses Pause….😮. There goes the excitement.
Best songs to showcase his voice are "Sistinas" and "Anything," both off the bestest ever Danzig album: Danzig III How The Gods Kill.
In an interview with Big Brother magazine, Danzig offered a rare explanation of his lyrics, claiming the inspiration for "Mother" was Tipper Gore, who as a member of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) pushed for regulations on music she felt was harmful to children.
I never knew that. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. 💪😎👍
It all makes sense. Heh.
Lot of folks forget about her. And her VP husband as well.
Facts!
There are videos of the obscenity hearing featuring the Gores. Musicians from many genres testified against the PMRC including Dee Snider (from Twisted Sister), Frank Zappa, and John Denver. All of them outclassed and destroyed the stuffy politicians arguments including John Denver (Who was running late for a meeting with NASA).
The tones and energy he builds in his delivery is really fitting for the lyrics of this song. It's as if he starts with a conversation with parents that builds to a challenge, an argument.
this song brings me back to junior high. such an epic song.
Danzig is a pure iconic legend ❤
My first boyfriend introduced me to Danzig back in 1993. Being more of a jazz/blues girl, I wasn't a fan of many of the bands he was into, but "Mother" quickly became one of my favorites, so I was amazed how you pointed out that his voice is sort of jazzy/smokey. Maybe that's why I really liked this song.
This guy is a legend from early punk rock to heavy metal. He's just his own thing but rooted in blues and old rock an roll
Check out his first band The Misfits (late 70’s early 80’s) then Samhain (early to mid 80’s). Glenn is hands down one the greatest vocalist. He’s 68 years old now and still is a vocal beast.
Omg!! I'm so here for this!!!!!!!!! I love your channel, but I am sooo happy you did this song!!!! I LOVE this song, and have loved it since I was a teenager!
Glen Danzig wrote this song as a response to the PMRC movement in the 80’s . I’m seeing him in September in DETROIT ! So stoked to see the main man !
You should do an evaluation of Danzig’s How the Gods Kill. That’s got lots of interesting vocals.
And Devil's Plaything
You have a way of describing how I have always felt about a song, yet I never knew I felt that way until you say it.
This was the first song I ever learned to play on the drums. It will always have a special place in my heart. I was 16 and could definitely identify with the song. :)
Danzig is criminally underrated as a musician, composer and vocalist. Anyone not listening to him should be.
YES!! YES!! YES!! FINALLY!!!
Other Danzig songs to check out: "Dirty Black Summer", "Her Black Wings", "Am I Demon", "She Rides", "How the Gods Kill", and "Killer Wolf".
Don't forget "Deth Red Moon". Always loved to do that one live.
dont forget "it's coming down" , "long way back from hell" , and "sistinas" also
Excellent analysis. Yes, with this song, everything is teasing you, calculated in its restraint until all is unleashed in the climactic fury at the end.
This warms my heart so much! This song, and Genn's side project was one of my intros to metal. Then I found out Glenn was the original lead singer of the Misfits, and that's how I found my love of punk. Watching you truly enjoy this is giving me inner child so much life.
" How the Gods kill" should definitely be on your list. I've been waiting for you to get to Danzig for awhile. On a different note ,Hopefully I can one day hear your take on Joey Ramones vocals as well.
Joey Ramon would be awesome! Good call..
Holy crap...I've been suggesting this for two years! I'm a bit too young to have seen the original Misfits back in the day (they were a hugely influential horror punk band), but I caught Glenn and the boys opening for Slayer in Cleveland on their first tour in '88. I'm so stoked for this....
I bought the Bullet single in the summer of '78. There was nothing like it at all. It was instantly liikeable. The lyrics were mind blowing. When I introduced the song to a college friend in the fall of '79, it blew his mind so much, for the next week he would just wander around in a daze, sayinng, "Suck Suck Jackie Suck"... his mind was completely blown.
The Original Misfits are on tour right now, we saw them last week! Fear opened, Megadeth as special guest.
I never really listened to them but refreshed before the show...still so much energy!
@@silasmarner7586Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head...
@@stevetremblay961I saw them a few years back when they reunited with Glenn, it was awesome. Doyle still looks like he could beat someone senseless...the '86 self-titled release is a sort of a twenty, best of, hits compilation and covers a lot of the high points of Glenn's time in The Misfits. His band Samhain was really a migration from The Misfits into Danzig and had a revolving door policy with members until Chuck Biscuits finally joined Glenn, John Christ, and Eerie Von and changed the bands name. Cool shit...
You should analyze his vocals in “How the Gods Kill”. A lot of light & dark shade in his voice and very well written (yet simple) song.
I was given a mix tape as an 11 year old and this song was on it. I kept playing this over and over and almost wore the tape away. Loved it. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for this! "How the gods kill" was another great song he did with this lineup
👍🏼
sooooo good!
She has to hear that one. And She Rides.
@@Dequincy1982 And that's exactly why I like it.
@@Dequincy1982 And that’s what I love about it
The OG line up BTW . Glenn, Jon Christ on guitar, Eerie Von on bass , and Chuck Biscuits on drums.. This group was never the same when Biscuits left..
True. The first two albums absolutely blew me away. Pure magic.
Constantly stoping reaction videos to comment can be kind of an irritant sometimes, but your unchained glee and excitement hearing these sounds that are new to you along with your laser focused analysis is so worth every pause and rewind. I appreciate being able to relive my own excitement hearing some of these songs years ago through your reactions!
Ive listened to Danzig for a long time. I never thought of Glen sounded bluesy untill u said it. You are completely right and thank you
Glenn's voice is just amazing. Even in his more recent albums you can still hear that deep quality to his vocals.
Anberlin’s cover of this is a haunting delight if you haven’t heard it.
I recently started a band, and this song is what I used to monitor my progress as a singer. At the beginning of summer, I couldn’t get past the first verse. Once I sang the whole song, I knew I was ready for a band. Danzig is my biggest inspiration.
Thank you for reviewing this song, it's my favorite.
I've seen Danzig 3 times over the last 25 years, and his voice has never disappointed.
I agree with you. I don’t think his voice has ever changed throughout the years I’ve seen him either
This is just one of those songs that hits so hard... I'm thinking about covering this in my 90's grunge/punk band. We don't do many covers but the energy on this just undeniable. The way my voice is it lends itself to the Danzig/pearljam deeper base pitch with a clean note carry release... not sure that's the right word for it as I've never took voice lessons, but I'm sure you can get my point
I’ve seen him 5 times, well make that 3 because he walked off stage twice. Guys got a killer voice and I’ve been a fan since misfits. But the guys a dickhead.
It did for me the one time I saw them live. The guitars were so fucking loud, they were distorting, and the only song I could understand him was this one. Side note though, at this show, I fell in love with Type 0 Negative. For my friends and I that went to this show, they stole the show
Lucky, I’ve seen him just once
Danzig's Mother gets The Charismatic Voice treatment! I hadn't thought jazzy and now I can only describe it as primal jazz metal vocals! 🎤 🎙🎷🪨 💪💥!
They are great band.glad I had the chance to see them when I was in my early teenage years at molson Parkin Barrie Ont, Canada.over 25 years ago but still great memory.there song bodies is another of my favourites.
Danzig is so cool. Huge fan of this song but the album following is my favourite. You could pick almost any track from Lucifuge to do and wouldn’t be disappointed. Her Black Wings, Devils Plaything, Long Way Back from Hell. Another amazing track from his third album would be well worth doing, How The Gods Kill is a fantastic song that really showcases his vocals. So good.
Glenn is quite a diverse artist…as mentioned before with the Misfits and Samhain, but his solo “Aria” album will catch you off guard. He’s quite the writer as well…contributing songs to Johnny Cash’s comeback album and even doing some work with movie soundtracks too. I’ve enjoyed his music since I was a teenager. Vocalists like him aren’t too common nowadays
Black Aria and Black Aria II, fantastic
@@jacksontag1181I concur. i listen to both of them. A lot.
Roy Orbison as well.
He’s a legend
I believe this was the first time I've ever heard someone say a John Christ solo was the "happiest, shortest solo ever"😂 And this is exactly why we love you Elizabeth!!!!
I love that you loved that song as much I love that song ❤
Nice job, it was fun watching you 😃
I love when she pauses a song just before something's about to change, and then makes note of the thing that's about to change. In this case it was when she was saying she liked the jazzy sound of Glenn's voice right before the second verse when he cranks it up a notch.
Been a Danzig fan all of my life. As a few others have stated you need to listen to ...How The Gods Kill and Blood and Tears for his vocal range. Glenn is a huge Elvis fan and he def used Elvis as inspiration in his delivery. Glenn has a very powerful voice and is one of my Favorite Metal and Punk singers. His early ion life Punk Band The Misfits is one of the most popular Punk Bands of all time. He was a teenager at the time and wrote most all the material. The Song Skulls would be a good place to start with the Misfits.
I would add Her Black Wings to the list of must listens for his vocals,though I feel like everything from the first three albums are must listens.
Glenn has always been a master of pairing meaningful (or disturbing) lyrics with super-catchy melodies.
I love your passion for music
Your reaction gives me life. Thank you!!
Oh...plus the overdub of him singing in that almost spoken register is a neat studio flourish too. Check out, "Heart of the Devil" you'll know why I recommend it if you do! :) 😅
