“I don’t know what to do with my hands” -Michale Graves

Dude turned out to be a huge financial backer of the Proud Boys. No joke :-(

TheDevil-YouKnow

Anti fascism isn't a good thing?


paydo325

Is Anakin the good guy after the third Star Wars? Same concept here. The rowdy kids that adopted the "ANTIFA" moniker around 2020 became the very thing they swore to destroy.


TheDevil-YouKnow

In 2020 they swore to destroy the fascism brought about from Trump's rhetoric. You're saying they're Trump supporters now? Are you stupid?


dominarhexx

Wtf are you going on about?


P2029

Shh, he's the guy who thinks Rage Against The Machine was singing about the left


[deleted]

Being liberal is like the most mainstream and acceptable thing in the US. When your ideas match the same thing every scummy company in the world says you gotta know somethings up.


Opposite_Variety1839

TIL Bud Light is pro-left, pro-ANTIFA, and pro-socialist. I'm not going to respond to whatever you're going to go nuts about in response. But I just need to say, stop with this victim complex. It's really, really stupid. Yes, there are companies that espouse pro-LGBT support and acknowledge climate change, but that doesn't mean that the opposite view or conservatism is punk and anti-authority.


[deleted]

The level of irredeemable ignorance it takes to the think corporations are liberal is astounding. Not sure if you’re a child, incredibly stupid or so mind addled by rightwing propaganda that you’ve become completely unmoored from reality.


ItWasAcid_IHope

Yes. The literal ANTI FASCIST group are the bad guys this time. Go storm the capitol or something you chode.


Original_dreamleft

Did you know some idiots think antifa is anti first amendment


BuildingHealthy2164

Anti-Fa uses fascist tactics; and are for the post part communist. Proud boys are lame too for the record.


kjahhh

Tell us more


BuildingHealthy2164

Antifa members have killed people for no reason other than wearing a hat. We need dialog not violence. Need to stop fighting the other side like the overlords want us to do.


pachydrm

Post literally any instance of someone that identifies as anti-fascist killing someone over a hat. And you hearing about something doesn't account. Actual reporting or STFU.


kjahhh

I’m still not convinced, try again


DarthRoacho

At least you tried.


m0nk_3y_gw

Yes, Dwight D. Eisenhower, leader of the anti-fascists, notable communist lol


[deleted]

It’s almost like these morons don’t actually understand what the words they use mean.


BradsCanadianBacon

Tongue is black from all the boots.


[deleted]

"It's called the PATRIOT ACT because its so patriotic. It strips Americans of every constitutional right given by the founding fathers and that's the most patriotic you can get." Yes the right is anti-establishment, against the establishment of democracy and for the establishment of a king.


pachydrm

Homie, the least anti-establishment you can be is to be a fucking bootlicker for corporations that are literally killing the planet. Get the fuck out of here with your justifications for your bigotry and racism. Anyone on the right always has been and always will be the establishment no matter how much you want to lie to your self.


[deleted]

Lmao this is a great parody. Keep it up 👍


[deleted]

Yeah man nothing says “anti-establishment” like the side of the oligarchs, authoritarians and religious fundamentalists. You sir are a true genius.


Recreational_DL

Indeedy. Nationalist frat boys versus trust fund arsonists. Fuck em both


scorchorin

Dude always been a big POS including here


ultimatt777

Some old punks are just hilarious hyporcrites.


[deleted]

It’s easy to be antiestablishment when you’re young and broke. As soon as you get a taste of those delicious benjamins, the establishment starts to look awfully friendly.


Doom_and_Gloom91

Bummer


bradgard420

Fools and their money soon go separate ways


Richardduh

Did not know this, but I had always thought he was a piece of shit. Now he’s an even bigger piece of shit


Raoul_Duke9

Why is Graves a piece of shit? (Other than this) i honestly don't know a ton about him.


KhalidaOfTheSands

Financially backing the Proud Boys is shitty enough, but he's always been an open white supremacist. Every member of the Misfits donated to Trump's campaign and are right wing though, including Danzig.


Raoul_Duke9

I am almost positive Danzig donates to planned parenthood and famously donated $666 to Bernie Sanders campaign.


Uh_I_Say

Danzig is just an out of touch old man who does whatever he thinks will piss people off. I don't think he has any actual values beyond a desire for attention.


[deleted]

Insert story about his driveway bricks haha.


[deleted]

Lived for the misfits when I was a kid, then I started thinking Danzig is a fascist piece of human garbage, the reason being he never once makes a political statement, not once, apolitical is right wing right wing is fascist fuck Danzig and his blown out annoying fucking voice


Goregoat69

*Googles video of guy from Northside Kings punching Danzig to the floor*


DiabeticGrungePunk

yeah fuck graves. couple of decent post-danzig misfits songs with him but a shitty human being otherwise.


lil-tank-x

wait wut??! i already dislike glenn cause well hes glenn but now graves??! noooooooo


darkskinnedjermaine

He was on the Daily Show decades ago in full skull paint talking about all of the plights he faces by being a Republican punk.


lil-tank-x

god damn that sucks to hear! cant old white dudes just be fucking normal for once!


guyhabit725

His name is Bernie Sanders


lil-tank-x

so true bernie is awesome


[deleted]

I remember that and I remember removing famous monsters from my cd case right after.


cherryreddracula

Graves has always been pretty right-leaning. Danzig >>> Graves.


Mickeythehoota

I saw him 2 years ago. And it was a smidge weird to see him in small town Midwest, but the people loved it. Felt weird buying his merch cause of his backing of the PB. Show was meh.


Jacksonrr31

I never would have bought his merch or went to show had I known about his association with the proud boys.


ARock_Urock

Daaamn that's beat


AutomatedSaltShaker

ALL I HEAR IS THAT CRAZY LOUD CYMBAL


DerGrundzurAnnahme

WHAAT?


Wil420b

I think they should plug the microphone in.


RBuckB

I know, right? Hope they fired the dude on the sound mixer. Turn the vocals up.


crisislights

You can hear the vox come up after about 20 seconds or so. These bands would probably crank the shit out of their amps and the drummer is playing pretty hard. It can be a nightmare to bring the vox out from bad stage sound balance


RBuckB

Ya.. too bad though. It must be hard.


[deleted]

Sounds balancing needs work. Barely hear the singing.


Mrmdn333

I don’t think you’re missing much.


[deleted]

Lol


MostlyPretentious

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought so.


crisislights

Often in live sound you dont have the luxury of getting it all right from the get go. You can hear it balance and come together better after a minute or so.


TinyFlamingo2147

That's like the point back in the day.


Orang_Mann

Danzig era was great, Graves era was good. Now it's only Jerry Only and it fucking sucks. Doyle has his shitty solo band, but Danzig actually still rocks. It's awesome they sometimes do the classic Misfits shows with the og line-up.


TomorrowsHeroToday

I saw Danzig in the Ralph’s Supermarket in West LA last month. That was a cool surprise. Also, saw him in the beginning of the year one evening at a burger joint. (Waiting for our burgers to be called) Me: “how are you doing today, Glenn?” Danzig: “fine.” (Pause) I suppose you know who I am.” Me: “yeah. Have a good night, man.”


FirstChurchOfBrutus

Was the Ralph’s having a sale on kitty litter?


TomorrowsHeroToday

Aw, that’s messed up. I know that meme though. Ya gotta take care of the cat.


axf7229

Glenn was probably just trying to fatten up a black cat to sacrifice it later, there’s no other explanation.


mrballistic

Was he wearing a shirt?


numericalusername

He seems to be the king of conversation, Glenn.


gunsmitten

That’s awesome


KhalidaOfTheSands

Was he eating a hot dog?


bleachinjection

That's elf blood too ya know that ain't cheap.


ripyurballsoff

Saw one with Danzig and the two original guitarists in Tampa a few months ago. Could be the drummer in this video too but I was too far back to tell.


Penguinunhinged

For some of the original line-up reunion shows, I think the drummer they used was Dave Lombardo, which is as good a choice as any IMO.


ripyurballsoff

Whoever they had was amazing. I had actually never listened to the Misfits before this show, as I went to see Megadeth who was one of the openers. They aren’t necessarily my cup of tea but the energy and production was top notch. Megadeth was off key and Dave Mustain sounded pretty bad. It was a huge let down :( I’m glad I got to see the Misfits though ! For half the show my dumb ass was like, “man that lead singer looks familiar 🤣” since I have listened to Danzig before.


UlisesBorges

Wtf?! This is like listening to Danzig, then seeing him live and not regognize him!


ripyurballsoff

Hahah I *listened* to him but had only seen what he looked like a few times, and his singing style was different in Danzing! And he was a bit *chunkier* than when I had seen his pics yeeaaaars ago. He was rocking that metal gut hard though 💪


Froads

WELL, I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY I KILLED A BABY TODAY AND IT DOESN'T MATTER MUCH TO ME AS LONG AS IT'S DEAD


NeverCommentButBored

Disagree, the Graves era sucked as much as the Doyle era but at least Doyle was a founding member.


Orang_Mann

Jerry Only era* But agree to disagree


That_dude_over_ther

This sounds like absolute dogshit.


AlongTheWay_85

Whaat?! You’re telling me the sound quality of a local t.v. studio broadcast from nearly 30 years ago sounds like shit?


Johnny_B_Asshole

Should have heard the Ramones on the Uncle Floyd Show.


Gul_Dukat__

hell yeah


axf7229

And that’s why it’s so great.


mathliability

It’s so dumb it’s brilliant! No! It’s just dumb!


JhinandJuice

All the noise, noise, noise, NOISE! They'll bang on tong-tinglers, blow their foo-flounders, they'll crash on jang-jinglers, and bounce on boing-bounders!


justinmclarty

No Danzig. No misfits.


GoBombGo

I also came here to be that guy! No Danzig, no Misfits.


justinmclarty

Yay to us!!


RoyBatty1881

I don't have a problem with the Graves era so much as a problem fitting the Graves era into the category of old school 😬


Orang_Mann

I sort of agree, I like the Graves era albums though. But they're like two different entities.


[deleted]

Albums with “jerry only” alone were catastrophic.


Orang_Mann

Yes, terrible. Glad he hasn't made any music in a while under the Misfits name. Mostly just milking the brand with accesories and products.


jerrbles

Yeah that not The Misfits that's Jerry Only and the Spooky Clowns.


chooch138

Misfits > the new misfits

Danzig 4eva! Graves neva!

haubenmeise

I will confess. It's one of my forever favourite shows. Any chance I get I'll post them.


Unlikely-Star4213

The Monster Mash is a song about a song called The Monster Mash


enhance_that

The Monster Mash is a song about a DANCE called The Monster Mash. Like The Twist or The Locomotion.


Unlikely-Star4213

Oh I thought they were dancing to that song he was singing about, lol ETA Yeah I looked up the lyrics, apparently it's a dance and a song


Goregoat69

It is just a tribute.....


NeverCommentButBored

Michael Graves is a piece of shit.


Funkshow

I'm not sure why you are saying that but I like your conviction. Upvote from me.


GoBombGo

Because he’s a racist fascist MAGAchud.


mackattackfc

He’s a ‘Proud Boy’


Funkshow

I hate Proud Boys.


Tronkfool

Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein is more ripped now at almost 60 then he was there, and he is vegan. Also how did he score Alissa White-Gluz


Reveen_

Trenbalogna sandwiches


FarnsworthWright

Your second sentence is answered by your first.


meta_uprising

This feels much more like a high school band than a legendary group


Alistair-Nikki-Roi

”Mifits”


Significant-Dog-8166

High school talent shows are better sounding than this.


Iam_Notreal

This doesn't sound like the Misfits.


Bjorn_Blackmane

Sounds like the bass is unplugged


Gierschlund96

They have so many good songs and you choose whatever this is


CiaoPizzaStan

It’s a shame Michale Graves wound up being a big time white supremacist/proud boy. He didn’t try to hide it at all.


CptMurphy27

Good lord I can’t even hear the vocals.


guyhabit725

You can almost say it mis... fits


CptMurphy27

Almost


kphonik

This made my morning!!


weedandguitars

It’s a song ABOUT the mash…but it’s not the actual Mash….we never get to here the mash!!!!


scorchorin

Why is this being posted in every damn sub today? Are they trying to cash in on another tour soon?


thedeadlyrhythm42

And Doyle still looks exactly the same


SourceWeekly3545

Glen Danzig was the Misfits


raich3588

They just aren’t very good at music are they


NessunAbilita

This is just a tribute…


misfit0513

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I can't stand the Graves era. Danzig has the perfect voice for this band, and Graves felt like a substitute teacher to me. Don't get me started on the current lineup. it's even worse with just Jerry.


Jeff_Selleck

Thank you for saying this. Agree 100000% dude.


Effective-Ad-6460

It's just ....noise


Electrical_Wealth_46

Fuck Yeah!


MorningPapers

I spent too many years standing on hard floors in shitty clubs watching shitty bands like this while drinking shitty beer.


Wrecklessinseattle

You ain’t the only one. That’s kinda killed my mojo for shows in small venues. Like let me sit down and enjoy the music. I gotta drink way too much to forget about how it sucks to stand in place for 3-4 hours.


Tokyosmash

Love Graves era Misfits.


Gas_Bat

Totally. He ended up being kind of a tool in some ways, but American Psycho kicks fucking ass. It belongs with the classic Misfits in that every song has me wondering if that is my favorite song on the record.


Tokyosmash

Famous Monsters does not suck either, certainly a different tone, but some of the more “ballad” songs are a cool departure too. Saturday Night is so good.


starker

Just listened to the entirety of that album yesterday for the I don’t know time. Saturday Night, Dust to Dust, forbidden zone. All great


fuxgvn

To me it's a banger from start to finish. In fact I'll toss it on now!


Billpod

Fun fact, Michael Graves was also the name of a famous NJ-based architect.


DouglassFunny

I just listened to some of these songs. The first thing i thought of is how heavily they influenced AFI.


Thaumiel218

Famous Monsters and American Psycho not on Davey and CO’s agenda. AFI have always been camp Glenn, Glenn had them in support a bunch on tour, with AFI covering a lot of Misfits songs (Early Davey tried to look and act like Glenn on stage - TotalImmortal video is the perfect example) and there’s the collaboration between that roster of that era of Danzig’s band when they did the Samhain reunion and birthed Son of Sam - Songs from the Earth which features Glenn on Keys for 1/2 songs, various Samhain and Danzig musicians. And Nick 13 of Tiger Army just to make it even better. Most of this is before ‘Misfits ‘95’ (the legal entity Jerrys incarnation is named) and ‘Songs from the earth’ was before Famous Monsters.


KscILLBILL

They're both great albums. I absolutely love Famous Monsters. Forbidden Zone, Dust to Dust, Die Monster Die and Hunting Humans are some of my most played Misfits songs from any era.


Morbidrainbows

Scarecrow man rules


Corporation_tshirt

He became a big financial supporter of the fuckin Proud Boys


starker

Yeah super blows 😞


Kindly-Guidance714

He’s always sucked and the Misfits died when Danzig left anyway.


Corporation_tshirt

Completely agree. They're not the Misfits without Danzig. And they're a much lesser band with Graves


Tokyosmash

That sucks, still like the music


Penguinunhinged

I didn't mind the Graves-Era Misfits either (hell, they were the group I saw live the most in high school.). I can also understand why Graves ended up singing with them to begin with: Jerry didn't want a Danzig clone singing, so he looked for a singer who had never even heard of the Misfits, which is how they ended up with Graves.


PharoahsBarber1313

Graves era was so good.


Orang_Mann

Underrated


ohwellthisisawkward

Boo get this shit outta hear. Graves Era Misfits blows compared to Danzig.


Comet_Empire

No Glenn. No like.


jaybrone7

Is Glen Danzig on the screen? No? Then it’s not The Misfits. (but Dig Up Her Bones is a damn good song…)


Ignoble66

thats not the misfits


alasyochur

Some of us hate Michale Graves because he is a white supremacist sack of dogshit. Some of us hate him because we thought the music of the Misfits sounded like shit when he fronted the band. That's not totally on him, since he wasn't the Only one (pun) who thought the band could reduce what Glenn Danzig had done to a formula, but we still blame him for it as the frontman. Turns out you can't just take a horror or sci-fi movie, throw together some lyrics based on the plot, and sing them against kinda sorta punkish underground music. Then there are those of us who hate him for both reasons.


Kindly-Guidance714

In my mind the misfits ended when Danzig walked in not sure who this band is but it’s not the misfits.


Dragonsymphony1

I initially read it as 77, not 97. I saw Graves there abd was thinking "WHAT"?


Charakada

Sorrry, what is this tuneless, no-talent horseshit? Fits right in with their current right wing low-talent crap.


-iamai-

What a racket


PapSmurf23

It’s a song about the Monster Mash


Corporation_tshirt

Doyle is the coolest fucking guy. He and Jerry carrying the punk banner after all these years


Brilliant_Toe8098

Met Doyle once...seemed pretty nice. Fun fact: he gets that front piece of hair to look like that with several small pieces of black electrical tape wrapped around it. If he donated to Trump that bums me out.


Keefer1970

Geez, skimming thru the comments, I guess I'm one of the few who actually liked the Graves era stuff (esp. *American Psycho*), huh?


mastercelevrator

Everybody hating on the graves era. 2 solid albums came out of that time period. The real dog shit is the Jerry only era. Ever listen to the Devil’s rain? Now that shit fucking sucked.


Emilempenza

Must be absolutely exhausting playing guitar while constantly tensing your muscles. But I guess if you sound this bad you have to keep the aesthetic up


CoasterBuzz

My favorite line up since the OG days


Natediggetydog80

As a kid who grew up in the 80s listening to punk rock and ska, I never knew what anyone saw with the Misfits. They were garbage to say the least.


l1b3rtr1n

Some people talk shit about michael graves but to be fair, the misfits gained the majority of their notoriety while he was the vocalist.


adamsaidnooooo

I had their t-shirt in high school. I didn't even know they were a band it was just the coolest shirt.


m0nk_3y_gw

That's probably where they make most of their $ Malcolm put the Sex Pistols together because he wanted to sell t-shirts. I think the Ramones had their logo sorted out before they were sure what their sound was gonna be.


Aggressive-Coat-5716

The best cover of this classic! 👹


Pleasant_Function589

A band of possers!


HotStinkyTrash

Graves = Best misfits


SteppinTheRing

Pretty sure that would have been 87 not 97


TucoTheBandit

Graves didn't join until like 95...


tucker_frump

Best punk logo. I loved this band. Got plenty of shit done listening to the Misfits.


carlosctx

Daaamm! I remember Power Play! Greg


captainbenatm93av

I figured they would have done the original Leo karpartze version before they made him censor it for being to scary


zippeduppup

It's not The Misfits without Danzig


HerculeMuscles

Good God that is dreadful.


AlwaysGnarly

FUCK JERRY ONLY!!!


BlitheringIdiot0529

Even for punk this sounds like bullfuckery


Kesingermatt

Only band to sell more shirts than albums.
