This interview transcends The Misfits, Samhain, Glenn Danzig, and even music. This is an invaluable pop culture time capsule. Wrestling action figures were in their infancy, home video wasn’t yet affordable (Glenn didn’t get to see Re-Animator at the time because it had stopped playing in theaters by the time he got a chance). The discussions of religion are profound as well. It’s incredible hearing Glenn just hanging out and having a legitimate, stimulating conversation.
Just a head's up, but there are audio gaps from 1:01:22 to 1:16:45 and from 2:18:01 to 2:33:25. Apparently they're just the spaces left between the end of one tape and the beginning of the next, but it's annoying as Hell nonetheless, so I figured I'd just type it up here so that someone could easily skip over it if they so desired (and who in the Hell wouldn't, lol). Anyway, that's all I caught thus far, so carry on and enjoy. Also, to whoever uploaded this, thank you, it's my first time hearing it, and it's really been a fascinating listen thus far. Glenn has had a major impact on my life in so many ways, and this is probably the most insight I've ever gotten into his life.
Alann Versipellis, dude's a legend if you like cancerslug and underground d.i.y. punk... you can join the main Slugcult group and find interesting folks who do interesting things. And you will run into Alann, whose pretty cool...
I usually listen to this once a year, this time it was conveniently in October. Probably one of the top interviews or recorded conversations, ever. Especially for punk/Misfits fans who vibe off of the nerdy aura Danzig and his music left behind in their original inception. Thanks to the poster for compiling all the parts in one long piece - it’s way better this way. My hope is that kids continue to hear and have access to things like this, even if their numbers aren’t especially overwhelming.
"Nerdy aura"...nice description. Danzig gave me the confidence to continue with my nerd obsessions into my teenage years before the current era of comic con hype (even introducing me to Go Nagai/Devilman). He was a pioneer in many ways
Saturday Night Live is on in the background and you can hear Mr. Mister being announced before they start playing. John Lithgow hosted with Mr. Mister on 12/7/85 so that's probably the date this was taped. The Tales From the Darkside episode at the beginning is called "Parlour Floor Front".
it makes sense, but november coming fire was released in feb 86 according to google. and it sounds like that album was already out the way they talk. so the SNL ep may be a repeat. other wise nice ear... i didnt hear that thanks
This should be pressed into an album! I love this because in 1986 I got the THRASHER issue that had this interview. This audio is the full deal. The thrasher interview is only a small part. Still have that issue. Was my 14 year old Southern California skate punk treasure. Thousand Oaks, Cali.
Holy shit. He remembers everything. Stay drug free, kids. What a great interview. Would’ve killed to hear this when I was 16 and was still incredibly entertained at 37.
@@DM12128 agreed ,it's amazing he does so much himself is such a icon and a freaking legend one of the most interesting talented ppl ever to walk among Us all! 😎💯
I stumbled onto this interview thinking I would only listen for a few minutes. I wound up listening to the whole thing. I have a whole new appreciation for Glenn Danzig. This was really great.
I don't care what people say, Glenn Danzig fam, you're either with it or not. This is a refreshing interview, love it! Candid and laid back, so effing sick
Misfits are an American cultural icon! they have influenced almost every musician in one way or another and anyone else who is in entertainment industry, they are the real American Rockstars! I love these guys...🤘
Totally love these old-school raw interviews. Nice to just hear the person openly speak their mind and stand their ground when required. One of the best shows I ever saw as a kid was in 1989 when Danzig played the peppermint Beach club in Virginia Beach Virginia. Fucking awesome show! Loud raw and in your face.
Chris Myers can't remember who opened up for him back in 1989 at that show. Frankly, it was Danzig. The place was wall-to-wall people, and it exploded when the first chord was strummed! Just a simple cool time.
Thanks for finally putting all the parts of the interview together. I remember listening to this interview 9 years ago and being blown away. Very cool stuff in here😁
Seems like some people don’t know: The dude interviewing him is an icon as well (Pushead). Not only is his artwork amazing, he had a band called Septic Death that was light years ahead of the stuff in the punk/hc scene at the time too! Check his stuff out.
Steve L. Oh hell yeah man. You’re right! That comp is great...I used to live in the same town as one of the bands on it (Siege). Those guys could f’n shred!
@@getoffmywifi969 oh man.Huge Siege fan here. They made it out to LA last year for a reunion show. It's crazy how fast and Brutal siege was for their time. Even Napalm Death days they were an inuence.
I love Glenn's Jersey accent here...you still hear it now with a few of his words here and there but nothing like when he was younger and still based in Jersey. I wish he still had it!
Lol I was thinking the same thing as I was watching this. It creates a kind of tense atmosphere, like he seems like he's gonna scold that guy at some point lol
I’m the biggest Danzig fan, I have two big Danzig tattoos on my back, I’m a Christian who loves the dark side, when I heard mother 93 I was hooked, I started listening to everything Danzig,
Good for you dude. It only takes this interview to highlight that things are very rarely only black or white. There are shades, tones & variations with anything. People are desperate to classify things & OTHER people, so it's easier to judge people if you can classify them. Yeah, I'm a Danzig fan myself. 👍
around 1985 I saw Samhain play at a venue that held an audience of maybe 100 or so - the 7th St. Entry of Minneapolis' 1st Avenue and 7th St. Entry. I was about 14 years old so was the All Ages Show at about 4:00pm in the afternoon. They only had the first album out a that point, and naturally the Misfits were already a legendary band, the 7inchs long out of print and rare collectors items already. Samhain was cool, but an opportunity to see the guy responsible for Walk Among Us and Die Die My Darling was like being able to see the Beatles play, for me, and I'm sure everyone else at that show. They played about 3 Misfits tunes, can't remember which the first was, but two of their last few closing songs were Green Hell and Death Comes Ripping. In true Hardcore fashion of the time, Glenn let us kids come up and sing the chorus' into the mic with him; the stage was only about 2 feet tall. As I stumbled all sweaty out of that show into the early evening, I remember just amping because I had just got through singing Death Comes Ripping into the mic with DANZIG.There was no Glenn bad then. I had gone to that show alone; no one at my high school asked me how the show was the next day when I went to school, in fact they had no idea what I'd just witnessed and PARTICIPATED in. That was the thing back then: we were just kids, and no one thought the scene would be any more than it was right then, but we knew, we knew it was SPECIAL. No kid at my school had, say, sang the chorus to Running With the Devil with David Lee Roth the previous weekend at the Van Halen show.
Wow it shocked me to hear mr jim was the first drummer then manny and then got back mr jim, he also says bullet predates cough cool by three years-very interesting thanx for this classic interview with glen.
I've got the times of both gaps notated in a comment above yours (as there are actually 2). I see your comment is more popular than mine, so hopefully this will help lead them back to the one I've done above.
Thanks for uploading. I find this discussion to be illuminating and informative. I doubt the whole thing was published in the article. I would have loved to have the original issue though.
@@bludfiend4860 we wus Vikings and shit. Now the vikings show is depicting a nordic queen being black and apparently half of viking raiders were women. Absolutely ridiculous
@@deadbodybaby1 atleast someone has some brains and balls btw I dont like nordics very much but when they rewrote history o have a major fucking problem
This is a great interview, I remember it in Thrasher but i never knew it was recorded. I also never knew Glenn had siblings, very curious as to their whereabouts and lives.
I NEED to have the Starblazers toys Glenn is talking about. I was obsessed with that show when I was like 11 in 1981. Frankly Im still obsessed with Starblazers. Need new dvd copies tho.
Something about this simple almost lo fi direct interview that has a sort of ASMR soothing quality to it. It’s great to hear and see Glenn in a more authentic way, without the later day machismo cheese. It’s inspiring to also hear him talk so matter of fact about the bands, business, his drive and general topics. Just learning, who was this pus head guy? What was the reason for the interview?
What really blows my mind is how all these really underground bands waaayyyyy back in the day were able to press all these records. It's so godamn expensive now.
They were living with Parents. I am sure they helped with money. Putting money made back into the band. Then getting offers after established. Its hard work, but if your passion is there you can do it.
@@carvinblack i wonder if it was like way cheaper back then because there were more pressing plants? I got a quote for a 12" album with 8 songs , I think 500 copies, and it was like 1500 bucks. I couldn't afford it.
@@morsteen I think the cost was relative to the times. Unless your band is well established, 500 records will collect dust. My friend and I pressed 100 7" records through a little niche pressing place called Musicol in 2012. A little under $700. I just gave them away mostly.. Also you might want to check out companies that do lathe cut records. Pricey(about $10 bucks a piece) but you can get 10 or 20 made. If you sell them, reinvest. Cassettes are a cheap option too. I just bought some clear blank cassettes and then recorded off a cd I burnt. And then had j cards printed at FedEx Kinkos.
The Residents (one of them San Francisco commie bands as Glenn would probably say) put out a double 7" in a gatefold as their first record in 72. They did all of the artwork and folded all of the sleeves themselves. They would continue in this manner for years. They supposedly had someone bankrolling them, but there is a lot of deliberate misdirection there.
@@prokesuk I get the diy for the paper products piece of it. That's easy enough. But I don't understand how they literally could afford the actual pressing from a pressing plant. How did they all do that? Was it inexpensive back then because it was an industry standard, or what? Because now it's like 2 thousand for a run of 500.
Exactly!!! Pushead (aka Brian) did a shit ton of artwork in the punk/metal scene...some of it for the Misfits (the evil eye t-shirt design most notably).
What a great look into his mind. He is way more intelligent than people give him credit for. I'd like to hear the Jello Biafra audio from his interview with pushead in thrasher magazine. The best skate magazine ever because of the music interviews. I love how he mentioned Frank Frazetta because his store was and still is in my home town of East Stroudsburg pa!
@@Pinebrookjohn75 it's called Frazettas fantasy corner it's got a museum on top it's in East Stroudsburg pa. Forgive me if I spelled it wrong. He did art for Danzig and the Conan style is where he got inspiration for a lot of his stuff.
love this interview. I like how Glenn always is planning ahead with his creations, even if he doesn't always follow through he still has a million ideas all the time (like the horror anthology he talks about doing here). Always an inspiration.
Glenn really doesnt get the recognition he deserves for being a musical legend and the talent he has as a music maker... He is like Prince a genius..but more of his albums were good...
Good observation, he is like Prince in many ways except that Prince was also more inclined to make sonically superior records that sound great whereas glenn is not very good at producing g his own work as evidenced by everything post Rick Rubin .
@@cicolasnage5684 i agree..price could produce better sounding music.. But he only had 2 good albums.. After purple rain all his music sucks.. In my opinion... He got to out there weird.. At least for me
@@cicolasnage5684 but Glenn needs to leave the guitar alone.. To much of that same whine noise he makes with it on later cds.. Samhain is my fav era.. And like black metal i like the low quality sound on these cds.. I luciferi is good later cd tho..did u like his elvis cd ?
at least two different Mr. Mister songs (there may be more but Ive only heard two of their songs in my entire life) play in the background. Are they listening to an whole album or what.
KILLER interview. I love Danzig, so don't take this the wrong way, but this is one of the first interviews I have heard him in his younger years where he doesn't come off like a total douchebag.. (like his video of him in drastic lighting talking about his book collection..lol)
ruclips.net/video/Oi9nhI6Ua_k/видео.html him and the band all come off as quite friendly in this interview(especially compared to the other punk bands at the time)
Doyle and Danzig are funny in interviews. The guy doing the interview definitely earns his pay. They don’t give anything. You have to pull it out of them. 🤣. I think it’s awesome.
You can tell he reads alot and is kinda nerdy. Great interview. It's kinda funny listening to his thoughts on suicide and fighting. In more recent interviews he's talked about him enjoying the fact that fans saying his music got him out of dark times. Not only that seeing him getting knocked out so fighting to the death wasn't an option. Great artist tho.
Meh, he didn’t get knocked out. I’m assuming you’re talking about that north side kings video... It’s hard to see if he even got knocked down or just knocked back. I thought he took it like a champ for a guy that was way older and smaller than the other clown.
Yup. They were probably watching first run episodes in 1985 or 86. You can tell it was in the background. Man, I still remember staying up late as a kid to watch that show.
This interview transcends The Misfits, Samhain, Glenn Danzig, and even music. This is an invaluable pop culture time capsule. Wrestling action figures were in their infancy, home video wasn’t yet affordable (Glenn didn’t get to see Re-Animator at the time because it had stopped playing in theaters by the time he got a chance). The discussions of religion are profound as well. It’s incredible hearing Glenn just hanging out and having a legitimate, stimulating conversation.
I remember how stoked I was to get the June 1986 Thrasher in the mail, straight to this interview.
Part of this interview was put onto print in Thrahser in '86?
@@hibikimaiku some of it and some stuff that wasnt on the audio interview.

Ryan Dockendorf tales from the dark side before that too!!
brilliant!
Nobody seems to realize who's interviewing him, even though it says right on ths title. I'm pretty sure they know each other
Exactly!!! Pushead (aka Brian) did a shit ton of artwork in the punk/metal scene...some of it for the Misfits (the evil eye t-shirt design most notably).
We need an animated version of this, MTV Liquid Television style
They word "peremptory" comes to mind.
What a great look into his mind. He is way more intelligent than people give him credit for. I'd like to hear the Jello Biafra audio from his interview with pushead in thrasher magazine. The best skate magazine ever because of the music interviews. I love how he mentioned Frank Frazetta because his store was and still is in my home town of East Stroudsburg pa!
Errmmm he’s got so many spoken word albums, we’ve probably heard enough of him.
What's his store
@@Pinebrookjohn75 it's called Frazettas fantasy corner it's got a museum on top it's in East Stroudsburg pa. Forgive me if I spelled it wrong. He did art for Danzig and the Conan style is where he got inspiration for a lot of his stuff.
@@philipibaugh2925 ok cool I know who you mean. I'm from Scranton and will check out his shop next time I'm in town.
@@Pinebrookjohn75 I just moved from Dunmore so it's close. Enjoy brother
love this interview. I like how Glenn always is planning ahead with his creations, even if he doesn't always follow through he still has a million ideas all the time (like the horror anthology he talks about doing here). Always an inspiration.
Apparently they start filming the anthology in a few months! Based on the comics
TheMadMattster I’m reading this comment as the verotik films is nearing completion!! I never knew Glenn was in that idea back in 86!!
He was always a visionary!
Glenn really doesnt get the recognition he deserves for being a musical legend and the talent he has as a music maker... He is like Prince a genius..but more of his albums were good...
Good observation, he is like Prince in many ways except that Prince was also more inclined to make sonically superior records that sound great whereas glenn is not very good at producing g his own work as evidenced by everything post Rick Rubin .
@@cicolasnage5684 i agree..price could produce better sounding music.. But he only had 2 good albums.. After purple rain all his music sucks.. In my opinion... He got to out there weird.. At least for me
@@cicolasnage5684 but Glenn needs to leave the guitar alone.. To much of that same whine noise he makes with it on later cds.. Samhain is my fav era.. And like black metal i like the low quality sound on these cds.. I luciferi is good later cd tho..did u like his elvis cd ?
This is fucking gold
at least two different Mr. Mister songs (there may be more but Ive only heard two of their songs in my entire life) play in the background. Are they listening to an whole album or what.
@chubbyruckus ahhhhhh nice deduction!
3 hours? Good lord that's a lot of Danzig lol
KILLER interview. I love Danzig, so don't take this the wrong way, but this is one of the first interviews I have heard him in his younger years where he doesn't come off like a total douchebag.. (like his video of him in drastic lighting talking about his book collection..lol)
ruclips.net/video/Oi9nhI6Ua_k/видео.html him and the band all come off as quite friendly in this interview(especially compared to the other punk bands at the time)
Super dumb question but what year(s) is/are this/these interview(s)?
Doyle and Danzig are funny in interviews. The guy doing the interview definitely earns his pay. They don’t give anything. You have to pull it out of them. 🤣. I think it’s awesome.
The guy giving the interview is Pushead. He is an iconic artist and musician, he and danzig already knew each other before this interview
His fucking "Package" in that picture is Hanging Dong!. Lol
ah yes, total misanthrope. I can totally relate
Wild how glenns voice was so diff at this time.. He must have been pretty young
What are they playing in the background around 19: 30 or so? It's so familiar but hard to hear, it's driving me nuts!
Tales from the Darkside? That’s the theme that kicks in around the 20 minute mark.
Awesome interview and still finishing it but had to point out how wrong Glen was on how the battle between DC and Marvel would play out lol
My big black truck with my general horn got church away man
What is the date, location and interviewer of this?
"What do you mean by crazy?" lol
LMAO “Mexican pig torture” 😂 1:01:18
Glenn was about 31 in this interview I wonder how he'd answer some of these same questions today?
I just fucking love him 🖤
1:51:30 the Twilight Zone theme song, good choice in shows during this interview haha
Yup.... 2:15:00 also
Why did you go to all the bother of joining the parts but leave huge passages of silence between each part?
Glenn is much more intelligent than he is recognized for.He has some great insight on the world.
1:18:20 Glenn yelling at his cat
AelfBeat GET OUTTA THERE!
AelfBeat
Lmao
Get outta there!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🐱
Get outta there,that eye of newt is for later,scram Azrael.
You can tell he reads alot and is kinda nerdy. Great interview. It's kinda funny listening to his thoughts on suicide and fighting. In more recent interviews he's talked about him enjoying the fact that fans saying his music got him out of dark times. Not only that seeing him getting knocked out so fighting to the death wasn't an option.
Great artist tho.
Meh, he didn’t get knocked out. I’m assuming you’re talking about that north side kings video... It’s hard to see if he even got knocked down or just knocked back. I thought he took it like a champ for a guy that was way older and smaller than the other clown.
@@erasenegatedelete yeah dude was in his late 40s and several times smaller then the other guy.
Glenn was veryJersey back then.
Tamerlane Villanos you never de-jersey.
this sounds like a police interrogation
2:02:57 - Top Ten Films
I wonder if the Misfits knew GG Allin back in the day. Both bands into sex and violence at the time
I will have to ask my congregation book study conductor probably
They were aware of each other
Tales from the Darkside at 19:39
I used to watch that show as a kid. Some episodes scared the fuck outta me, but I liked it
Yup. They were probably watching first run episodes in 1985 or 86. You can tell it was in the background. Man, I still remember staying up late as a kid to watch that show.
is this an interview or a deposition
