The Danzig Thread

[Koukol Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Koukol]

So I watched this on the weekend and was thrilled and disappointed.

Unfortunately the Elvis in the round thing had only 7 or 8 MISFITS songs with Doyle & Co.
The rest was 4 or 5 songs from a Danzig concert and 2 goofy videos.
The videos were silly because of his over-the-top growling which looked ridiculous for his age.
I laughed all the way through the opening video of Mother despite the cool visuals.

I hope this will come out on a BD/CD package.
Extra footage would be nice too.

That's kind of what I'm waiting for.... a physical media release for us old foggies who don't want to stream.

Tempting to go see this in Edmonton, because Danzig, while a huge asshole, is also a legend in his own right. I've also been to a ton of shows at that venue and it's easy to get to, but I just don't know if it's worth it. I'm on the fence. Anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

I'm on the fence too since the tickets are $50.00 and I don't like the other bands.
I'm trying to find his set-list for this tour as I believe he won't be doing many MISFIT songs this time.
But on the other hand he IS touring with a Punk band.

Yeah, it's a tough call, but I'm leaning towards not going. To me, at the moment, there doesn't seem to be enough value for me to go. I mean, for what I'm paying I don't know if I'm going to appreciate the material he's presenting. Anyone end any reviews of any recent shows? I'm curious. I know it won't be the same show, obviously, but I'm wondering about things like Danzig's voice, set list, etc.

I haven't found the set-list for this tour yet.
But I was surprised how good his voice still is with the Streaming Special.
However, he only did about 7 songs and was about to lose his voice with the last one (THIRTEEN)
What I don't know is how many takes were done or if other songs were cut

Cheers, Ian.

With A Girl Like You?
Isn't that a little uptempo for him? :)

I'd also be surprised if SATAN remains the second track since it's slow.
It really cements him as the "Evil Elvis" though.

I kinda like this.

Also the Danzig Comeback/Legacy Special is really good and if they put it out on Blu-ray or even DVD or shit, even a CD, I'd buy it.

[Koukol Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Koukol]

Love it!
I've got the Comeback recorded and would buy it also if it came out...hell I'll buy anything of his except the Aria's.

[Koukol Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Koukol]

Have you heard the INDEPENDENTS, Ian?
Here's them covering Mother.
If you hate SKA... the new album, which is great, has very little of it.

Their live album really kicks ass.

Over the past few weeks I've been having a little Danzig retrospective and its been really rewarding. The first three albums are still masterpieces with How the Gods Kill still being the pinnacle of the original line-up to me but I've also become shamefully aware of how I've neglected 4p somewhat over the years. Stuff like “Cantspeak” “Going Down to Die”, “Until You Call on the Dark” and “I Don't Mind the Pain” are some of the original bands finest compositions.

Going though all the albums also reinforced a theory that I've had for a while which is maybe Danzig should have tried making an album like Satan's Child before tackling an experiment like Blackacidevil. Granted, the sonic jump following 4p would have still been pretty big, even though you could probably call 4p “experimental” in its own right, but the industrial sound on Satan's Child feels much more focused. I actually think Blackacidevil has its fair share of good ideas and nifty sounds, but he still dove into the 90's industrial craze head first when he probably should have taken baby steps. Plus Satan's Child is heavy as all fuck.

Also, am I alone in thinking Circle of Snakes is one of Danzig's strongest? Always loved that album. I really liked I Luciferi too, but I get why some people felt Circle of Snakes was a “comeback” album of sorts, what with I Luciferi technically still being part of the “industrial” Danzig era.
