Danzig embodies the true and pure meaning of Freedom and Individualism that America has always pretended to stand for. He may hate everyone, he may say things that sound "asshole-ish", but he is HONEST and TRUE TO HIMSELF, something only about 10% of the population on earth can say they are. I don't agree with his entire attitude, but I admire his attitude. He's Brave and the founder of THE MISFITS!
My brother John seen him in concert in Indy, and said this guy a row in front of him was pushing this little guy down and punking on him and Glenn called him out on stage and the dude flipped Glenn off as the band was breaking into the song "she rides" the lights went out and Glenn jumped off the stage and beat that dude down flipping him off and ran back up on the stage as the band was still playing the intro Glenn made it back up on the stage never missing a beat and started singing she rides! Man, i don't care what people think about him, i have respected Glenn ever since my brother told me that story back in the early 90's! That had to be so awesome to witness! RESPECT! \m/!
Seemed like a great guy until the Hitler response which is much worse than anything his drummer did. Glenn, nice take on Jesus but come on you are wrong and so opened ended about Hitler that you sound like a Nazi. And people buy into what you say.
I have to admit...Danizg's a lot nicer and more personable now in interviews than he was back in the 80's and 90's. Despite what people say or think about him, I've got a ton of respect for him and I still listen to his music.
I saw him in 2014 in CA, he was as nice to his fans as it gets. It was around 1am after the concert, he was sitting on bus stairs and signing autographs and he would talk to everybody in the line, he would ask where you from, and he looked totally exhausted but still smiled and had chat with everybody
What makes Glen awesome? He buys into nothing popular, he thinks for himself, he has the drive behind his creativity and he makes it marketable, so people can find it. He is the engine of what REAL alternative media is all about. He's rich, famous, and earned it all.
This man wrote a song for Johnny Cash, He was one of the original members of the Misfits, and a successful career with his own band Danzig. Definitely not a one hit wonder, like him or not Danzig has put his time in the music industry.
@@natemurray311 No it’s when a promoter waves tons of money under your nose you take it. This is a business. They got together again for a financial endeavor
"You've never been married, Glen. No, I'm not an idiot." Classic. This guy tells it like it is on this topic and others. Only when you control your career can you do this.
Might be that hitler killed magicians that are killing demons actively. And imo if that happens it’s what they deserve. You can’t decide spirituality for others.
@@oppothumbs1 He didn't give a "take" on Hitler. He was asked a simple question "Is Hitler a hero or an abomination?" to which he answered with simple facts "It depends on who you ask." (a fact) "I'm sure when everyone put him in power everyone thought he was gonna be the hero," (fact) "But also, one person can't make things happen. Other people have to follow that person," (also a fact). So considering the completely factual nature of his answer, there's really nothing to "like" or dislike. I mean, you can dislike the facts themselves, but that's not the same. So yeah, Mr. Danzig (a.k.a. Mr. Anzaloni) most certainly told it like it was regarding Hitler.
I really do not understand everyone's problem with Danzig. Does everyone expect legends to have the need to be friendly and be nice to the interviewers. We need more stars that are angry, abrasive, and have their own thoughts and opinions. The music that he has left on this planet is astounding, so I hope people could see that and let the man do and say what he's gotta say. I could give a fuck less if he is hateful, because it does not hinder his brilliance. I can't or wouldn't want to imagine the world without his music.
richcapo Danzig gave a good answer to the Hitler question in my book. Does the man have to cater to everyone including yourself in his answers to questions that he can answer in any way he wants to? No. Just because the Hitler question was used to market this video doesn't mean that you are going to get the full or desired answer. If you spend your time looking for reasons to hate somebody, you will find them. Danzig doesn't owe anybody shit. He makes and has made some of the best music in the world, which I find way more important than him not addressing something the way 'you' wanted him to on a difficult question to answer. Expectations are a root of anger. So what your saying is that if you have an opinion, let everyone know what it is no matter what, if you don't feel secure with yourself try and make others feel insecure, and point fingers at others to cover up your own problems and insecurity? The world totally revolves around you doesn't it? You've opened my eyes, and I see so much more clearly now!
Heinrik Snifflekraut You stfu and don't talk to my friend like that,show a bit of respect to BillyJo as she is one of the cleverest and funniest people i know on RUclips.
***** Thanks hun!!! :) I think he's just trolling for attention though. Let's just feel sorry for him. What a pity. Honestly, who would disagree that Danzing rocks and is a unique person. Only someone TOTALLY, UTTERLY and COMPLETELY LAME like that Heinrick person.
His eyes got angry when Only was mentioned and band rights. I dont feel so bad now not having kids. A guy like Danzig you'd think would want to pass on his genes. I like how laid back and real his interviews are.
Been a Danzig fan my whole adult life. Grew up in KY and have been forced and then chose to listen to Johnny Cash, am truly pleased that Glenn is a Cash fan. I always wondered that.....during my youth and before the internet I didn't have the abilty to know Glenn likes Cash!!!! Love the interview.
Pretty good interview..Danzig had a ton of questions thrown at him and really answered every one of them..Good job all the way around..An interviewer that isn't being a snarky dick and Danzig answering questions without going off and pulling. Billy Bob Thornton on the man.. Really nice to know a guy like Danzig looks up to anyone..You can see the admiration for Orbison and Cash..It went well
What would modern rock/punk/metal be without Danzig? It occurred to me recently just how generally important he is. People who don't understand how good of a singer he is need to try actually singing his songs sometimes. The Roy Orbison influence shows. Danzig fucking rocks.
I still love this interview. Danzig is straight up. I thought he was nice here. why the hate? he gives no fucks, but demands respect, but in a respectable matter. he's not gg allin ffs! what do u want from him? I thought he was cool as fuck. good job, Eric.
this mans music has influenced me half of my life, one of my favorite singers. About christians and jesus, idk i got nothing against christians, i even listing to some christian metal bands such as deliverance.
I met Glen at a signing in Phoenix Az and there's was a raffle for this danzig backdrop that I had won. Glen gave me a handshake took a pic with my roommate at the time and me, and I'm not joking when I say that he took two steps in front of us and the photographer took the pic from a front angle where it looked like Glen was right in front of us and taller than he is. It was comical.
i feel like it would be kinda hard being pals with glen danzig. Like that one friend your waling on eggshells around cuz you just can't figure out whats gonna set him off or not.
I would agree with the first post. He truly seems to hate everyone, but only at times. After watching videos through various stages of his career, I think his attitude is moving in a more positive direction. I don't think he would've ever gave this interviewer the time of day in his early career
Actually, I've met him a couple of times, and have also talked to lots of other people who have known him, worked with him, etc., and he is generally cool in person, though he doesn't always act like it. He is also smarter than he is given credit for (though again, he doesn't always act like it, and occasionally fucks up). He's an eccentric character, to be sure, but a good guy overall.
He gave an answer that most people don’t really give much thought to. Hitler is a nobody if there wasn’t a lot of people that said “hey I’m cool with all this”.
Glenn will always be a LEGEND, PERIOD. His voice is amazig, his band is always tight (EVERY INCARNATION). Danzig fans don't give a shit about the haters...you mean nothing. I love the "phoney jesus" line..
Well his preference and his way of seeing life is kind of negative and totally different from my perspective, but still i got to admit he doesn't try to please anybody. He is who he is. I like his music though.
Eric Blair is the definitive music interviewer. His interviews are all pure beef with no bun, lettuce, and tomato when it comes to content delivery and substance. There are no softball questions as each second of the interview opportunity is precious. As far as the subscribers... well...there is no justice with big man behind the green curtain.
I have huge respect for this man. One of the most intelligent guys in all of rock/metal. His work with Misfits was amazing, and his solo stuff is also really great. I really admire him for the fact that he doesn't give a shit about whether people like what he says or not. Just like all of us he too might be under the weather from time to time but overall i think he's a genuinely good dude. I'd love to talk to him if i could. Lots of people out there are scared to say what they think or have their own opinion. Not Glenn though! He is direct as fuck and that's how it should be. Honestly dudes these days are wayyyy too senstive.
I always wondered why he wasn't promoted more, but I guess it's because he didn't bow down to the businessmen. Saw him in concert in the early 2000's, it was amazing.
@@daddybear7481 I understand him completely. As i too like to voice my opinion out loud without having to worry about what someone else might say. People like him won't get promoted because they don't want to be controlled. I've noticed that usually the people that are super famous are promoted by someone in higher power who tells them what to do. Never will someone in Hollywood or just a celebrity, in general, would dare say the things Glen does. I've gotten into conflicts for sharing my views, nothing political just saying what i think about a certain band without trying to be an ass, but people seem to be wayyy too sensitive so i try to avoid it.
@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 Very true. I find he is not PC but not bigoted either, he is just honest and I think many people can't handle it. And he doesn't suffer fools.
Angie Cash Completely approachable!!! I didn't make it awkward I just went over and told him I'm a big fan of his work seen him live several times live and we actually talk for a good 15 mins about life which was really refreshing. He's a lot like Alice Cooper.
"Master Danzig, fear does not seem to me to be one of your attributes. Why would you pretend that you submit to death when I know damn well that you are an Immortal? It takes one to know one." Much Respect, Sadie Waverly
people seem to harp on about him getting knocked out .. i fought a lot in my youth and sooner or later we all get knocked out .. there's always someone tougher and or bigger and or better than you ... but at least he didn't back down...
If anyone DIDN'T back down , it was the guy that got pushed by Danzig ! 2 secs later he lands a hay maker and Danzig is on the floor out ! Say what u want but , Danzig had it coming !
Just discovered GD about 2 hours ago, after seeing his name in a parody comic book.... and just got a little education thru youtube. What an Amazing and Inspiring guy!
He's so fucking charming...just laughs, smiles and kinda moves a little.. clearly introverted and like holding his complete opinions... I wish I could meet him
So you could knock him out? He's such a gentle kind soul. I really can't imagine how your level of delusion is even possible these days. Good on ya though I guess.
Malcolm Nicoll Hank 3 is AweSOME! I opened for his band just before the legendary Hank Thompson did his country bit. I was/am a rocker... Hank Thompson a good ol' country& western guy. Hank3 did his Granddad's stuff, his Dad's stuff & finished with his stuff. Afterwards, we drank...& drank...& DRANK. What a crazy f'kin dude! Good times. I understand Glenn & Henry are great guys IF one isn't a douchenozzle...just like Hank3. Clueless musicians & clueless fans ruin it for many performers...& THAT'S WHY they become jaded. I mean...GAWD-DAYUM... Hank3 & the guys...& I drank...& talked cars. Music is a career (if one does it professionally at any degree) & loses its luster if one lets the b.s. get in the way. We didn't talk "music"...John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band was the same when I was a mic tech & sound assistant roadie. Glenn was as real as it gets. Nobody can pose a valid argument otherwise.
I don't feel so bad knowing he was out there doing his thing at 11. I saw the misfits perform as a child. It was the best thing I'd ever seen. Times were so different then. I kinda miss the days without the internet. I miss the total surprise of it all.
He knows what he came into this world for. He only came to admire us with his incredible talent ❤️ I love his music, the misfits, samhain, danzig and the industrial side of him, which is perfect for me . a true genius
Getting KTFOd is what he will be remembered for. Oh, and also pretending he can fight. When he can't. If you can't get out of the way of a 400 lb untrained fighters punch coming as slow as a freight train, you cannot fight. The end.
@@eriklarson9137 He actually is trained. You can Google it. My old sensei used to say that the only man to be feared is a wild untrained fighter, mainly due to the fact that you can’t predict his style or his attack. Plus you say the guy was 400lbs? That’s a lot of weight behind a punch if it connects. I mean it doesn’t sound like Danzig is particularly quick but it’s hard to gauge a threat unless you’re the one being threatened. I used to have an overweight friend that knocked fools out no problem. Being fat doesn’t count you out of having genuine knockout power.
I really don't understand what problem anyone has with Glenn. Here's a guy, that cuts straight thru the bullshit and tells it like it is from his point of view, while being honest and genuine about it, not sugar coating anything. For once, someone who's real and y'all haters wanna say he's a prick or whatever? Glenn's been around for a long time in music and his work is timeless thru all the genres over the years, the fads, the trends, and what have ya' and he's still successful and making music thankfully. Danzig is as real as it gets. Hell, he's influenced Trent Reznor, wrote songs for Orbison and Cash, and what would Metallica be if it weren't for Danzig with the Misfits in the early days? Fuck all y'all haters... Danzig rules and will live on thru music as all the other greats in history.
now that you said it aloud. and I can see it's a very familiar approach. scandinavia or especially in finland we cut down to the business. no small talk, no bullshit, nothing. so this is why I love this guy. he's american, and familiar at the same time. and every insincere bullshitter from other countries+from america idiot hates him, so I want to stand up with him. just like with kimi räikkönen. everybodey thinks he's just acting and it's a role. no. fucking no. it's just how people should be. realists. things are like this, if you don't like how the things are, go away. we don't care.
I use to be closed minded back in the day about alotta bands in the ninties era,and with danzig i didnt see why all my friends worshipped this guy sure i heard dirty black summer ect but it wasnt until recent that i gave danzig another hear and watched his live performances started to love twist of cain but then i really liked the timeless songs like thirteen and did some research and learned that artists like roy orbison requested material crom glen along with other big music icons like johnny cash who sang thirteen hes a wolverine comic nut and i dont kno a bout the satanic stuff seems like it was a sthick a shock rock thing like alice cooper he was just a horror flick fan who cashed in on the whole shock metal thing that black saboth started but i respect danzig as a great song writer who was diffrent than the rest plus it doesnt hurt to have punk rock credentials with fronting the misfits ROCK ON GLEN DANZIG!
I think Glenn Danzig is so brutally honest that people don't know how to take him. The reason is that people like to pussy foot around saying a lot of meaningless bullshit. You ask Danzig a question and BAM here's the answer. Not a lot of embellishment or bullshit. It's refreshing to me. He doesn't really care what anyone thinks. You get a whole lot of how he really feels and that's it. People ask a lot of stupid questions and he finds it annoying, as do I. There is a lot of bullshit bands. He is an originator. You don't have to like him, and he don't give 2 shits if you do or don't. He's doing his thing regardless.
Eric: "You've never been married have you Glenn?"
Danzig: "No, I'm not an idiot"

When the moon cycles, so does "Glenn."
They're the wolves.

He mellowed out probably because his foot’s in the coffin and being a bitchy loner at 60 isn’t cool by any means lmao.
Probably because the guy from North Side Kings set him straight real quick. Hahahahahaha
Angry young man then I guess..
It's all a character man!!! Like Alice Cooper, Kiss and Marilyn Manson.

I love how Glenn is such a badass yet says "peed" instead of "pissed".
I mean cursing isn’t badass
"I made lulu in the drumkit"
Well, at least he didn't say "tinkled".
I didn’t hear him cuss once in the interview. Much respect. Everyone is so crude nowadays, it’s blasé at this point.

He was in a good mood that night.
Brutally honest and humble which I think are cool traits to have.
Not humble but good guy nonetheless

Jews sure got angry when he told the truth.
Sierra B lol
i feel like it would be kinda hard being pals with glen danzig. Like that one friend your waling on eggshells around cuz you just can't figure out whats gonna set him off or not.
I would agree with the first post. He truly seems to hate everyone, but only at times. After watching videos through various stages of his career, I think his attitude is moving in a more positive direction. I don't think he would've ever gave this interviewer the time of day in his early career
veorge yup, pretty much!
Actually, I've met him a couple of times, and have also talked to lots of other people who have known him, worked with him, etc., and he is generally cool in person, though he doesn't always act like it. He is also smarter than he is given credit for (though again, he doesn't always act like it, and occasionally fucks up). He's an eccentric character, to be sure, but a good guy overall.
A friend of mine met him backstage and he was genuinely cool and down-to-earth. :)
lol... Interviewer: "Hitler... Hero or abomination?" Glen: "Depends on who you ask.."
IM PRETTY SURE HE ASKED YOU
He gave an answer that most people don’t really give much thought to. Hitler is a nobody if there wasn’t a lot of people that said “hey I’m cool with all this”.
Hero all the way.
I almost forgot he’s such a cool guy
I was not expecting him to sound like this lol he sounds so down to earth i love it
Jason Newstead, former bassist of Metallica, said it best: "We do sell out...every night." And I doubt anyone could say he's not a fan of his fans.
Glenn will always be a LEGEND, PERIOD. His voice is amazig, his band is always tight (EVERY INCARNATION). Danzig fans don't give a shit about the haters...you mean nothing. I love the "phoney jesus" line..
Well his preference and his way of seeing life is kind of negative and totally different from my perspective, but still i got to admit he doesn't try to please anybody. He is who he is.
I like his music though.
13.5k subscribers? How? This one of the best interviewers on the planet.
Eric Blair is the definitive music interviewer. His interviews are all pure beef with no bun, lettuce, and tomato when it comes to content delivery and substance. There are no softball questions as each second of the interview opportunity is precious. As far as the subscribers... well...there is no justice with big man behind the green curtain.
I have huge respect for this man. One of the most intelligent guys in all of rock/metal. His work with Misfits was amazing, and his solo stuff is also really great. I really admire him for the fact that he doesn't give a shit about whether people like what he says or not. Just like all of us he too might be under the weather from time to time but overall i think he's a genuinely good dude. I'd love to talk to him if i could. Lots of people out there are scared to say what they think or have their own opinion. Not Glenn though! He is direct as fuck and that's how it should be. Honestly dudes these days are wayyyy too senstive.
Yes brother
I always wondered why he wasn't promoted more, but I guess it's because he didn't bow down to the businessmen. Saw him in concert in the early 2000's, it was amazing.
@@daddybear7481 I understand him completely. As i too like to voice my opinion out loud without having to worry about what someone else might say. People like him won't get promoted because they don't want to be controlled. I've noticed that usually the people that are super famous are promoted by someone in higher power who tells them what to do. Never will someone in Hollywood or just a celebrity, in general, would dare say the things Glen does. I've gotten into conflicts for sharing my views, nothing political just saying what i think about a certain band without trying to be an ass, but people seem to be wayyy too sensitive so i try to avoid it.
@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 Very true. I find he is not PC but not bigoted either, he is just honest and I think many people can't handle it. And he doesn't suffer fools.
If he was intelligent he wouldn’t worship Lucifer “the great deceiver.” Fact
Great interview. Do a new one with him
I meet Danzig in a airport in Tampa FL super nice guy.
Walter Davis I know this post is old but just seeing it. Good to hear you met him and it was positive. I'm a fan but figured he was unapproachable.
Angie Cash Completely approachable!!! I didn't make it awkward I just went over and told him I'm a big fan of his work seen him live several times live and we actually talk for a good 15 mins about life which was really refreshing. He's a lot like Alice Cooper.
Mr Pool he could fit in the overhead luggage compartment
Fantastic interview thank you ❤
love his honesty
like him or not, a great songwriter, highly underated.
"Master Danzig, fear does not seem to me to be one of your attributes. Why would you pretend that you submit to death when I know damn well that you are an Immortal? It takes one to know one."
Much Respect,
Sadie Waverly
This is a pretty damn good interview, I always thought Danzig took himself a lot more seriously than he does.
I feel like Danzig tries really hard to maintain a "I'm so badass that I don't care about ANYTHING!!!" image.
He isn't, he's just a honest, genuine guy
Its because he is a fucking badass and doesn't give a shit about ppls opinion
Maybe he genuinely doesn’t give much of a fuck
Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Elvis , bad ass. 3 of my heroes too!! Cool interview,,,
I like how everytime the interviewer asks something awkward (sex, misfits questions) Danzig swings to his sides with a smile on his face haha!
people seem to harp on about him getting knocked out .. i fought a lot in my youth and sooner or later we all get knocked out .. there's always someone tougher and or bigger and or better than you ... but at least he didn't back down...
If anyone DIDN'T back down , it was the guy that got pushed by Danzig ! 2 secs later he lands a hay maker and Danzig is on the floor out ! Say what u want but , Danzig had it coming !
The guy that hit him went there to do so.
Yep. At everyone who gets into fights will inevitably be the one who gets his ass handed to him.
He couldn’t back down. He got knocked out. 🤣
He asked to get knocked out and deserved it...
Just discovered GD about 2 hours ago, after seeing his name in a parody comic book.... and just got a little education thru youtube.
What an Amazing and Inspiring guy!
He's so fucking charming...just laughs, smiles and kinda moves a little.. clearly introverted and like holding his complete opinions... I wish I could meet him
So you could knock him out? He's such a gentle kind soul. I really can't imagine how your level of delusion is even possible these days. Good on ya though I guess.
@@eriklarson9137 Why are you having a continual mental breakdown about a guy you will never know 😂😂
I wanted to see Danzig play Wolverine. I really did.
And I appreciate his contribution, to this day.
#MetalHead
You are a real musician.
I freaking love honesty
I do too. Especially the part about NEVER doing a misfits reunion.
DANZIG, ROLLINS & HANK 3...My heroes!!! Love you guys!!!
Malcolm Nicoll
Hank 3 is AweSOME!
I opened for his band just before the legendary Hank Thompson did his country bit.
I was/am a rocker...
Hank Thompson a good ol' country& western guy.
Hank3 did his Granddad's stuff, his Dad's stuff & finished with his stuff.
Afterwards, we drank...& drank...& DRANK.
What a crazy f'kin dude!
Good times.
I understand Glenn & Henry are great guys IF one isn't a douchenozzle...just like Hank3.
Clueless musicians & clueless fans ruin it for many performers...& THAT'S WHY they become jaded.
I mean...GAWD-DAYUM... Hank3 & the guys...& I drank...& talked cars. Music is a career (if one does it professionally at any degree) & loses its luster if one lets the b.s. get in the way.
We didn't talk "music"...John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band was the same when I was a mic tech & sound assistant roadie.
Glenn was as real as it gets.
Nobody can pose a valid argument otherwise.
Still Great interview ty. This is history so we can see ty
He seems like a really happy individual.
met Danzig at comic-con, nice guy.
I don't feel so bad knowing he was out there doing his thing at 11. I saw the misfits perform as a child. It was the best thing I'd ever seen. Times were so different then. I kinda miss the days without the internet. I miss the total surprise of it all.
Wish every artist was this candid. Erm real
Glenn Danzig fucking made the misfits he is the misfits:only or any body ever fucking Forget it Danzig proudly made 3 bands......
Hi DANZIG fans please Subscribe to my show if you like the interview THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT !!!!!Sincerely ERIC BLAIR
He knows what he came into this world for. He only came to admire us with his incredible talent ❤️ I love his music, the misfits, samhain, danzig and the industrial side of him, which is perfect for me . a true genius
“What would you like to be remembered for after you’re gone.”
“I don’t care.”
- The Perfect Answer.
Getting KTFOd is what he will be remembered for. Oh, and also pretending he can fight. When he can't. If you can't get out of the way of a 400 lb untrained fighters punch coming as slow as a freight train, you cannot fight. The end.
@@eriklarson9137
He actually is trained. You can Google it. My old sensei used to say that the only man to be feared is a wild untrained fighter, mainly due to the fact that you can’t predict his style or his attack. Plus you say the guy was 400lbs? That’s a lot of weight behind a punch if it connects. I mean it doesn’t sound like Danzig is particularly quick but it’s hard to gauge a threat unless you’re the one being threatened. I used to have an overweight friend that knocked fools out no problem. Being fat doesn’t count you out of having genuine knockout power.
@@eriklarson9137 he was old and he is a black belt.
He always reminds me of Elvis his singing voice and style. I love Glenn. Such a hot beast
That's why they call him evil elvis
Great interview!! Positive.
Danzig says what he thinks without caring what people might think of his opinions. He's GREAT and deserves respect
"You've never been married before Glen." "No. I'm not an idiot." Lol. Awesome. True.
I really don't understand what problem anyone has with Glenn. Here's a guy, that cuts straight thru the bullshit and tells it like it is from his point of view, while being honest and genuine about it, not sugar coating anything. For once, someone who's real and y'all haters wanna say he's a prick or whatever? Glenn's been around for a long time in music and his work is timeless thru all the genres over the years, the fads, the trends, and what have ya' and he's still successful and making music thankfully. Danzig is as real as it gets. Hell, he's influenced Trent Reznor, wrote songs for Orbison and Cash, and what would Metallica be if it weren't for Danzig with the Misfits in the early days? Fuck all y'all haters... Danzig rules and will live on thru music as all the other greats in history.
now that you said it aloud. and I can see it's a very familiar approach. scandinavia or especially in finland we cut down to the business. no small talk, no bullshit, nothing. so this is why I love this guy. he's american, and familiar at the same time. and every insincere bullshitter from other countries+from america idiot hates him, so I want to stand up with him. just like with kimi räikkönen. everybodey thinks he's just acting and it's a role. no. fucking no. it's just how people should be. realists. things are like this, if you don't like how the things are, go away. we don't care.
Good for you man...on the Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison comments.
Good interview,Glenn seems a Dude👍👍👍👍👍👍❤
Glenn Danzig is the Paul McCartney of Punk, The Misfits are the Beatles of Punk. Long live Danzig.
Gotta love Glenn.
i have never seen glen this sociable, easy going and happy, either the knock out punch or zoloft has changed him.
We dint see much honesty from artist anymore glenn has never changed
I love Glenn Danzigs music and works...
I use to be closed minded back in the day about alotta bands in the ninties era,and with danzig i didnt see why all my friends worshipped this guy sure i heard dirty black summer ect but it wasnt until recent that i gave danzig another hear and watched his live performances started to love twist of cain but then i really liked the timeless songs like thirteen and did some research and learned that artists like roy orbison requested material crom glen along with other big music icons like johnny cash who sang thirteen hes a wolverine comic nut and i dont kno a bout the satanic stuff seems like it was a sthick a shock rock thing like alice cooper he was just a horror flick fan who cashed in on the whole shock metal thing that black saboth started but i respect danzig as a great song writer who was diffrent than the rest plus it doesnt hurt to have punk rock credentials with fronting the misfits ROCK ON GLEN DANZIG!
Glenn Danzig is a really awesome guy. I met him once and he was just one of the nicest person I've ever met!
I think Glenn Danzig is so brutally honest that people don't know how to take him. The reason is that people like to pussy foot around saying a lot of meaningless bullshit. You ask Danzig a question and BAM here's the answer. Not a lot of embellishment or bullshit. It's refreshing to me. He doesn't really care what anyone thinks. You get a whole lot of how he really feels and that's it. People ask a lot of stupid questions and he finds it annoying, as do I. There is a lot of bullshit bands. He is an originator. You don't have to like him, and he don't give 2 shits if you do or don't. He's doing his thing regardless.
