Just saw the Misfits! Great show!

[e-man67]

I got to see the Misfits Tuesday night which was great! It was like a time warp back to my younger days. I even got in the pit with my 40 year old brother in law (it was a riot, much beer involved). My ears were ringing all day yesterday and my muscles ached. For those of you that haven't heard of the Misfits you have probably heard of Metallica (unless you live under a rock)....The Misfits were the original band to sing "Die Die Die My Darling" and "Green Hell" that later became radio hits when Metallica covered them. He is a photo of the show (albeit from a poor camera phone). Cool to see them just before Halloween! itchfork

Awesome! sounds like a blast.

Wow the Msfits. I sat here for like ten minutes strolling down memory lane after seeing that pic. I'm gonna have to keep an eye out if they head up my way.

Hasn't this become the equivelant of the creepy old dude in the corner decked in leather & dancing by himself to old Judas Priest...

More & more old dudes are jumping in pits across the nation - it's really becoming an epidemic. Me? I've found better ways to vent my frustrations (avha ceegah!), either that or I'm just not that angry anymore.

I'm kidding though - I still love the Misfits! Maybe I'm just jealous that a bunch of my friends are going to see them tonight & I can't go... !!

OK, while I must admit that is awesome... I just think something is missing from The Misfits without Danzig. I guess I'm just old-fashioned that way. LOL I lived in NY in the mid-80's and was neck deep in the 80's punk scene there. Mohawk, skateboard and all. The Misfits are one of my all-time favorite bands.

Did Metallica cover Die Die My Darling? I thought it was Green Hell and Last Caress that they covered? All excellent songs by the way.
EDIT: Google answered this one for me.

How's that body feel after that mosh pit???

Jerry Only was the original founding member of the Misfits so it felt right...plus he does rock for an old balding dude! I saw Danzig during the Lucifuig tour at a small venue. Yes Metallica did cover Die Die Die my Darling and it on one of their albums. Oh, BTW my body is sore!

Found this out about Danzig:

James Hetfield, singer and guitarist of Metallica, sang the background vocalson "Twist of Cain" and "Possession", although was uncredited for contractual reasons. :king:

Very cool! I didn't remember the Metallica cover of Die Die but a little Googling turned up the video. Misfits rocked that one much better.

Hmmm, I need to see if they are coming to Atlanta.....

Saw them with Gwar on Halloween many years back. It was in small club called Dv8 in Seattle. One of favorite show I have ever seen. I had to ride the bus home covered in pig blood from the gwar show. I'm still glad it was Halloween

 

[ncstogie]

glad to hear they're still rockin :guitar:

 

[ksflyfisher]

Wow, what a blast from the past. Awesome, haven't been in a pit in years. Although I was always more partial to the Dead Kennedy's, The Exploited and COC I always enjoyed the Misfits.

The all timer though was Fugazi.

I saw GBH which was cool and I saw Fugazi in a school gym for free! Great show! No security!

This was a halloween tribute to the misfits ... a couple of my favorites were in the band, including Ted Leo and Adam Goren from Atom and His Package.

I was obsessed with DK as a teenager. Don't listen to them much anymore, but I still enjoy Fugazi. I've been meaning to check out the (relatively) new COC album with Stanton Moore. I love Moore's jazz/funk/New Orleans drumming, and I'm curious to hear what he does in a hardcore/metal setting.

Honestly, the Misfits as they exist today are a joke, in my opinion. It's sort of sad. I have seen them in the last few years. Depressing.


Glenn was the Misfits. Without him, it's just a cover band.

 

[indyrob]

I saw the misfits once...seems like a lifetime ago.

Wish Fear was still on tour.
