The Danzig Thread

There's an interiew with Danzig at Blabbermouth posted today that talks about the cover album and a TV special he's doing.

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.asp...sitemID=189312

"Glenn: The "Legacy" TV special was an idea that was brought to me and it was an idea that Mark Brooks had; he does "Metalocalypse". It was basically to do like a DANZIG "Legacy" TV show loosely based on the Elvis [Presley] '68 Comeback special; it revisited a lot of his past and a lot of stuff. So we did that with the "Legacy" TV show, which is almost done now. It was performance pieces that I do, then there's the band playing live, we do [songs from] DANZIG, SAMHAIN. Then for the MISFITS thing, we did what Elvis did when he sat down with Scotty Moore and the Memphis Mafia and we just did them all right there live , sitting and everyone's around us; there's no backstage, we're just on a little podium in from of everybody. And so we did a bunch of MISFITS songs and Steve [Zing] was just playing on a cylinder or something; it was pretty cool. We were doing the "Legacy" shows anyway around that same time period so we just thought we'd put it on film while everybody was there."

No backstage? So, is he gonna get beaten up onstage, then?

No attack on Glenn but he will be 2+ hours late and then complain that his Cup O' Noodles is too hot.

More than likely, that's one of the "performance pieces" he's referring to.

No idea if this is true,but back in the late 80s/early 90s heard lots of rumors about Danzig getting beat up by the one armed drummer from Def Leppard.

Danzig has recorded a new song with Doyle.

"ex-Misfits singer Danzig has stated that he has recorded a new song with Doyle, who is also an ex-Misfits member. Danzig stated that the song was recorded in April and is, “…bizarre. I don't know. I really couldn't… It's weird.”"

Danzig sues Jerry Only over Hot Topic deal!

[Roderick Butthorn Find all posts View Profile Close Roderick]

Doyle needs to get sued for putting out shitty Misfits records.

[Mark Tolch Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mark Tolch]

I know Danzig is a douche, but considering what Only has done with the Misfits legacy....I hope he wins.

Jerry's legal team responds!

“In 1995, Misfits founding member Jerry Only secured the exclusive legal right to tour and record as the Misfits, and, in accordance with those legal rights, launched a licensing program through Cyclopian Music. At the same time, Glenn Anzalone—professionally known as Glenn Danzig (former co-founder and Misfits vocalist circa 1977 to 1983) —made clear that he wanted no public association with the Misfits or Cyclopian Music's business endeavors.

Despite full knowledge of Cyclopian Music's use of the Misfits' name and logos for decades, Glenn Danzig curiously filed a lawsuit on April 3rd, 2014 seeking a portion of the proceeds from Cyclopian Music's activities with which he has had no involvement whatsoever. Danzig's lawsuit can only be described as a sour grapes tantrum based on outrageous allegations, the majority of which are completely false, while others are ill conceived and grossly misguided—and will be proven false in court. Reports of Glenn Danzig's lawsuit and the falsehoods within it, however, have resulted in the dissemination of misinformation regarding the nature of Glenn Danzig's baseless claims and Cyclopian Music's rights.

For example, Jerry Only and Cyclopian are under no obligation, legal, contractual or otherwise, to obtain consent, or approvals of any kind, from former member Glenn Danzig in connection with their use of the Misfits name or logos. Apparently Danzig's own product line doesn't sell as well as he might like, but the fact of the matter remains that Jerry Only and Cyclopian Music's Misfits licenses, business activity and merchandising endeavors are 100% lawful and consistent with their legal rights.

To be clear, Glenn Danzig has no legal right to, and no interest in, Cyclopian's Misfits licenses or business ventures period. Danzig's lawsuit is nothing more than a calculated attempt to unfairly and improperly enrich himself from revenue streams to which he is not entitled.”
