Those of us who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks know this song well. Got on the right side of those tracks but it was “if you want to find hell with me I can show you what it’s like”
I think this song was sort of a response to the PMRC, Tipper Gore and the Washington wives who advocated putting parental warning stickers on albums they considered indecent & obscene. He's not being nice to the mom. He's saying you can't shelter your children from the realities of this world for long. You can't keep them in the dark. He's telling parents that he's out there, and their children will find their way into his world of head-banging and cheek clapping.
It makes me think of a more modern _Mommas, don't let your children grow up to be cowboys._ Like, we sing about and romanticize this lifestyle, but it lives up to its darker reputation.
Yup...younger music fans should check out just what all that PMRC crap was about, and to what lengths some in government will go to in trying to stomp all over one's First Amendement Rights. "Oh, but Metal and Gangsta Rap are responsible for corrupting the Nation's youth." It was all such bullsht. Musical writers, artists, and composers (just to name a few) having to defend themselves, their music, the fans, the kids, and the genres' by testifying in front of Senate Subcommitees, and in court...more than a few times. It was nothing short of a musical "witch hunt," and an attack upon the rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. Forget about the musical historic connotations...it IS history...PERIOD. It'd be a good "read" for young people still learning in school. And also, an excellent teaching point that won't bore them to sleep. If nothing else, it'd be relatable because it's something that their parents and grandparents had to go through, regardless of skin color, wealth, or social standing. They were trying to dry-hole everybody.
I know he got all industrial and weird for the 5th and 6th albums, but give the 7th a re-listen. "Liberskull," "Halo Goddess Bone," and "Angel Blake?" It's got some good stuff on there.
We used to call Danzig “Evil Elvis” back in the day. I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos and this is the first time commenting, I love you guys I love the channel! Keep it up! Love the real reactions!
Lex is too adorable the moment she realizes Brad likes the song with her. (1:53). Lex: "Yeahhh, yeahhh, that's it, I like your energy". We love your energy too.
You heard Danzig before when you reacted to Misfits although that song wasn't their strongest...not by a longshot. Keep rockin Danzig and Misfits. Especially for Halloween 🎃🤪😋
Danzig the band fits pretty well in the deathrock subgenre but that's just music nerd me being pedantic lol. they do pretty well straddle the line between punk and hard rock tho which makes sense considering the man's background as frontman for Misfits and Samhain
Chuck Biscuits on the drums! Give the man some love! This was written as a protest song when the PMRC was trying to get the government to allow censorship of certain music. That's why he keeps "talking" to the parents. He's telling them that it's THEIR responsibility to control what their kids are and aren't exposed to in music and movies, not any of the artists'.
Glen Danzig formed three bands: Danzig, Samhain and The Misfits! All worth checking out! Danzig is more metal, Misfits more punk, though they seem to cross over.
@@osez111 I think by the general public Danzig is definitely thought of as a heavy metal band but I agree with you it’s very bluesy. Most people won’t see that because it’s a sped up much harder version of blues.
This is one of those few songs that is truly timeless it was amazing when it came out and damn near 40 years later still an absolute banger no matter what generation your from this shit slaps
Welcome to punk metal. Danzig, former lead singer for the Misfits is always a treat to listen to. When you get a chance, jump down that rabbit hole and listen to the Misfits, Ramones, Dead Kennedy’s, Black Flag, and Skinny Puppy. This is the prelude for Grunge rock that came out in the 90’s, mainly paved the path for Nirvana
Danzig is definitely up there in my top 5. He was known as sort of dark metal. But certainly in a category all his own. They used to call him Evil Elvis. Next you should listen to either killer wolf, tired of being alive, I’m the one or how the gods kill.
I grew up only knowing Mother from the radio and once I went through their first couple albums they quickly became some of my all time favourites......all the Satan lyrics definitely held them back from a larger audience. If he had just sung about tits and ass like everyone else, they would of been huge.
Oh shit Danzig I'm in. Nice picking up on the drummer Chuck Biscuits was amazing especially with the small drum kits he used. P.s. You brought up Morrison, I always said Danzig was the offspring of Morrison and Elvis lol.
@@thrashattack2185 if someone hears Danzig for the first time today and think he sounds like Elvis and Jim then they have always thought that Danzig sounds like that. If they never heard him that thought would never cross their mind. Just a thought. ✌🏻👍🏻😂
You guys are legit my new favorite channel!! Love your reactions!! This song is off the Self Titled Debut of Danzig. It's mainly about the pitfalls of trying to shield your children from the world, because the "Devil" is out there. Great album!! Glenn Danzig was the original singer of the Misfits classic lineup. He's heavily influenced by Jim Morrison and Elvis Presley. As you can hear. Chuck Biscuits is the drummer and super underrated!! Great pickup Lex!! You guys should checkout "Twist of Cain" or "She Rides" next!!! Keep being Genre Fluid!!
Morrison is a huge influence on Danzig. He's gone on record stating the Doors is one of his biggest influences. There's a reason you like his voice; because his voice sits between a baritone and a tenor, just like Elvis's voice. This specific range allows him to hit specific highs that accentuate a rocker's voice well, while also hitting the growling lows that a metal voice would need. Elvis needed the highs of '50's rockabilly, and 60's R&B and gospel, but the lows of blues rock. Different styles, but the comparison is the same. Obviously Elvis's inflections are what make his voice so legendary, but this song didn't really need much of that except for the beginning before the guitar distortion kicked in. This is metal, but it's more reminiscent of a '70's metal despite the song being released in 1988. That's why you probably thought it was rock, because it didn't have that '80's metal sound that you'd expect from a band like Megadeth or any of the big 4. It has more of a Black Sabbath sound overall with guitars sounding suspiciously tuned to sound like Iron Maiden.
Glenn and the band are really nice guys. I have worked security for them when they come to my city. Most considerate artists I have been around and Tool are nice dudes too. PLAY HOW THE GODS KILL!!🙏💯
3:25 That drummer is the legendary Chuck Biscuits. A Canadian punk legend. He drummed for DOA, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Social Distortion and of Course...Danzig.
OK, gotta clear up a few things here. Metallica is Thrash Metal. Part of the Big 4 of Thrash Metal (which actually should have been the Big 8: Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Flotsam & Jetsam, and OverKill). [Glen] Danzig came from the Punk Rock band The Misfits. So if anything his solo stuff in Danzig is a slight progression out of Punk Rock. If I recall this song came out in like 1988 or so.
Instant like from the go. I dig that you two are paying attention to what will and what wont win polls, and doing the bands that will usually be buried. I appreciate your work on this channel fam!
I might be misremembering, but haven’t y’all reacted to The Misfits? Danzig is probably the most famous lead singer of that band. This song is by far his most well-known and radio-friendly, ironically, considering it’s release during the satanic panic of the ‘80s and one of its goals being to target the PMRC, (Parental Music Resource Centre, a.k.a. Tipper Gore’s bullshit that got us Parental Advisory stickers and an unlikely alliance of Frank Zappa, Dee Snider, & John Denver to make statements before congress against censorship.)
I swear it’s so mad; every time I see you two have uploaded a new video it’s always an absolute banger of a song that makes me genuinely happy others have found. Big ups people
Such a groove. This song is about mayhem, and negative influences. He's saying I'm trouble, keep your sons and daughters away. Lex is so adorable in this lol.
The irony of Danzig being more hard rock than Metal is I've seen him a few times and seen people go even crazier at his shows than at most straight up Metal shows. I can't hear this without picturing people going nuts and crawling on each other like ants to crowd surf in waves of people.
Now that you heard Danzing, you must hear his band Misfits! They have many hits. Dig up her bones, scream and Die Die my darling (which Metallica covered) are good songs to start with. Keep it up!
First time I saw Danzig was this small club in Providence. He was on stage, I was in the front and we were 5 feet apart, eye to eye. That's when I realized how SHORT that man was. That tiny man stared into my soul as he uttered... MOTHER!!!! It was amazing, I'll never forget it.
Gotta check out Danzig songs, Twist Of Cain, End Of Time, Snakes Of Christ, How The Gods Kill, Anything, Left Hand Black, Her Black Wings or Long Way Back From Hell. You can not go wrong with any of those songs
Glenn Danzig, was the once the singer for the Misfits. This is a form of heavy metal without the gravelly snarling vocals. It's what metal kinda was in the early 90s. But still Lexxy is burning it up! Lexxy is a metal head.
Great observation on the Danzig - Morrison comparison, Lex,. I never noticed the similarities between the two until you mentioned it, and I've listened to both for many many years.
You both are awesome. Lex, you’re so adorable when you look at Brad and see that he like it too. I would love to see your reaction to the recorded version of Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne if you haven’t done it already. I think you would love it.
Nobody and I mean NOBODY can get that dirty blues sound like John can. Lucifuge was a Masterpiece! Def one of thee all time underated guitarists to ever live.
I really think you guys should react to Steve Vai's Tender Surrender. Please? I guarantee it will your blow your mind and question best guitarists ever.
It’s about the over protective father archetype, where the father is overprotective and trying to shelter his children, it’s a very classic trope. Danzig got into drugs at the early age of 10 so it makes sense that he doesn’t think sheltering kids is a super good idea, because he learned the hard way. He has been sober since he was 15.
“I can show you what it’s like” is actually a quote from the infamous tapes of Buddy Rich yelling at his band. George Costanza used this quote in Seinfeld.
@@beautifulchlorophyll2285 Funny, because that's Wolverine's height. Well, in the comic books, anyway. Of course, in the movies, he's Hugh Jackman's height.
Vocalist Glenn Danzig formed Danzig around 1988 after the breakup of his band Samhain... he had been the original vocalist of punk rock icons, The Misfits from the late 70's. More Danzig - 'Twist of Cain' ... 'Dirty black summer'... 'She rides' ... 'Am I demon' 🤘🤘
Love that you two react to stuff the pop channels won’t touch. Chuck Biscuits is the drummer and he’s super underrated, one of my faves. The song Tired Of Being Alive is a great Danzig track, you should scope it out. 🖤🤘🏻
The video for this was insta-banned even on cable channels like MTV. MTV even refused to let it play on the 2AM slot where most "banned" or fringe videos were shown. In LA we got to see it on the UHF show Video One when they had a guest host as well as a few other places across Canada and the US where they had UHF simulcasts of the show. Video one was like MTV except run by radio DJ's and known musicians and in the mid 80's had bands lining up to do interveiws that MTV couldn't even get with them. I think the original Night Flights also used to show it. Both shows ended the same time the video became banned so they may have just said what the hell.
The sound you're talking about is basically Rockabilly. If you haven't listened to Volbeat yet, you should. They drew their sound from bands like Misfits and Metallica, so they sounds like a mix between Danzig and Elvis. Recommended songs are: 7 Shots, Hangman's Body Count, and Still Counting.
Glen Danzig was the original singer of the misfits. All the classic misfits songs are with Danzig. Classic horror punk with with B horror themes. Danzig is much more metal and hard rock but the lyrics remain quite dark and occult. Danzig’s vocal style is often described as a cross between Jim Morrison and Elvis. People sometimes refer to him as evil Elvis.
Ok, so you gotta listen to the Danzig song ‘You And Me (Less Than Zero)’. He recorded the song for the Less Than Zero Motion Picture Soundtrack, under the band name ‘Glenn Danzig and The Power & Fury Orchestra’. The song is actually a ballad. Danzig sounds very Elvis-esque in this song; so much so, that my friend and I used to refer to him as “The Satanic Elvis”.
Its about the PMRC and the how the Tipper Gores tried to censor music and were quite influential back in the 80's but they found the more they put "explicit lyrics" label on album covers only caused record sales go up
Seems like a good reason to request you do some Social Distortion, specifically, When She Begins as I think that song would fit Lex and Brad. Or do some of their songs like Story of My Life or Ball and Chain which were radio friendly songs back in the day. They are not really anything like Danzig, but Chuck Biscuits played drums for both bands at times.
This song was written to fight the censorship that was going on in the 90’s. MTV band the song from being aired. Yes MTV played music videos at one point.
The lead singer was the lead singer of a awesome punk band called the misfits and scream and dig up her bones are a couple good ones to check out glad your enjoy music
Glen Danzig was known as the “evil Elvis “.. well at least that’s what he was called when I was a teenager when this came out.. He was the lead singer to the old punk rock band Misfits… check them out.. but with the original band lineup with Glen Danzig on vocals.. early 1980s punk rock
30 years later and still none of us can say the word "Mother" any other way 💯
Ha! So freaking true. When I ask my kids to find their mother I say it in my Danzig voice.
Truth 😆😆🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Ha!
Those of us who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks know this song well. Got on the right side of those tracks but it was “if you want to find hell with me I can show you what it’s like”
Except for Frank Zappa's Mothers
I think this song was sort of a response to the PMRC, Tipper Gore and the Washington wives who advocated putting parental warning stickers on albums they considered indecent & obscene.

Mothers need cheek clapping too.
It makes me think of a more modern _Mommas, don't let your children grow up to be cowboys._
Like, we sing about and romanticize this lifestyle, but it lives up to its darker reputation.
PMRC, the Satanic Panic, etc. All of that BS is wound up in this song
it had nothing to do with the PMRC.

Danzig is very underrated. Their first 3 albums are all good, hard, bluesy rock.
And the fourth album made you want to hide under your bed 😂
@@brad_wilson 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hard Bluesy Rock = perfect description for Danzig 👍
I know he got all industrial and weird for the 5th and 6th albums, but give the 7th a re-listen. "Liberskull," "Halo Goddess Bone," and "Angel Blake?" It's got some good stuff on there.
Danzig 4 wasn't bad, but you could definitely see the trend he was heading towards. Still got some bangers on that one though!!

No, maybe you need to "pipe out" bub!
One of the best rock songs ever. Can't believe it came out in the '80s. It still sounds fresh.
I'm just hearing this song for the 1st time, and I honestly thought it was a new group doing rock... surprised it's that old...this is a cold tune 💯🙌🏿
You heard Danzig before when you reacted to Misfits although that song wasn't their strongest...not by a longshot. Keep rockin Danzig and Misfits. Especially for Halloween 🎃🤪😋
No better time for Misfits than Halloween!
I was about to say the same thing
Danzig wasn't the singer for Misfits...
@@Bloodtypewhiskey eh?!
@@Bloodtypewhiskey ?? Yes he was and specifically he was the singer in the song they reacted to
Danzig the person comes from the punk world, but Danzig the band has their feet firmly in punk, rock, and metal.
And blues
Danzig the person also had an instrumental album titled Black Aria on the classic charts. I thought it was awesome at the time.
Rockabilly too
So, just hard rock
Danzig the band fits pretty well in the deathrock subgenre but that's just music nerd me being pedantic lol. they do pretty well straddle the line between punk and hard rock tho which makes sense considering the man's background as frontman for Misfits and Samhain

He has the greatest name (Lol) love it! NO ONE names their kid Chuck Biscuits
Yes! "Sounds like Jim Morrison" I agree! This song is KILLER! Love watching you guys experience something new and like it!
Jim Morrison, along with Elvis and a few others were big influence of Glenn.
Between Jim Morrison and Elvis I think.
Bonus tracks on one album of Live Elvis songs. Forget which album, I'm old
Straight-up banger.
Sounds nothing like Morrison
Glen Danzig formed three bands: Danzig, Samhain and The Misfits! All worth checking out!
Danzig is more metal, Misfits more punk, though they seem to cross over.

There's a lot of metal that is very blues influenced, I can hear it.
Second album Danzig II: Lucifuge is a straight up masterpiece. I don't use that word lightly.
"Her Black Wings" is probably my favorite Danzig song.

Danzig got into drugs at the early age of 10 so it makes sense that he doesn’t think sheltering kids is a super good idea, because he learned the hard way. He has been sober since he was 15.
I always thought Danzig was a cross between Jim Morrison and Elvis. With heavy metal.
You guys are awesome together, putting all the other couples to shame 🤙🏻
twist of Cain!!
This whole album was a big part of my young adulthood. Great album.
He is the metal Elvis
Reminds me more of jim morrison
“I can show you what it’s like” is actually a quote from the infamous tapes of Buddy Rich yelling at his band. George Costanza used this quote in Seinfeld.
If you've actually seen what Danzig looks like you'd understand his aggression...lol...huge muscle head...lol...
yet he stands 5 foot 2
@@matthunter983 yet still commands the respect of a giant.
but he's like 5'3 or something so it's kind of just little man syndrome packed into music xDD
@@beautifulchlorophyll2285 Funny, because that's Wolverine's height. Well, in the comic books, anyway. Of course, in the movies, he's Hugh Jackman's height.

One of my personal favorites. Thanks for doing.
I call him evil Kermit 😂😂

Vocalist Glenn Danzig formed Danzig around 1988 after the breakup of his band Samhain... he had been the original vocalist of punk rock icons, The Misfits from the late 70's.
More Danzig - 'Twist of Cain' ... 'Dirty black summer'... 'She rides' ... 'Am I demon' 🤘🤘
"Am I A Demon" - Danzig ... & "How the Gods Kill" - Danzig😉✌️🤘🖖
Love that you two react to stuff the pop channels won’t touch. Chuck Biscuits is the drummer and he’s super underrated, one of my faves. The song Tired Of Being Alive is a great Danzig track, you should scope it out. 🖤🤘🏻
Yessssss!! That and going down to die are my favorites
I completely love that they're rocking to misfits n Glenn... props guys..love it
Thank you for sharing this with me
THE CULT "FIRE WOMAN"...NUFF SAID.
you guys are everyone's fav reaction channel i feel like. love yall
I dig your shirt my guy. That's exactly what music is. You have to be fluid with all genre's
Glenn Danzig is the original singer from The Misfits. He also had a band called Samhain.
The Song that got Us all into Danzig. Not the best; but definitely the most popular. Great song.
Back in the day this was metal/ skater music. Misfits were awesome,
Wow Its awesome to see y'alls reaction to a true legend and Icon.
Stu: “I told myself I’d never come back.”
Phil: “Don’t worry. It all ends tonight.”
The drummer is Chuck Biscuits, he has been in many punk and hardcore bands.
The video for this was insta-banned even on cable channels like MTV.
MTV even refused to let it play on the 2AM slot where most "banned" or fringe videos were shown.
In LA we got to see it on the UHF show Video One when they had a guest host as well as a few other places across Canada and the US where they had UHF simulcasts of the show.
Video one was like MTV except run by radio DJ's and known musicians and in the mid 80's had bands lining up to do interveiws that MTV couldn't even get with them.
I think the original Night Flights also used to show it.
Both shows ended the same time the video became banned so they may have just said what the hell.
This is Punk Rock guys full of emotions and Super energy its everything and nothing! That's the Vibe!
Glenn Danzig was the the singer for the legendary horror punk band The Misfits.
The sound you're talking about is basically Rockabilly. If you haven't listened to Volbeat yet, you should. They drew their sound from bands like Misfits and Metallica, so they sounds like a mix between Danzig and Elvis.
Recommended songs are: 7 Shots, Hangman's Body Count, and Still Counting.
Glen Danzig was the original singer of the misfits. All the classic misfits songs are with Danzig. Classic horror punk with with B horror themes.
Danzig is much more metal and hard rock but the lyrics remain quite dark and occult.
Danzig’s vocal style is often described as a cross between Jim Morrison and Elvis. People sometimes refer to him as evil Elvis.
Ok, so you gotta listen to the Danzig song ‘You And Me (Less Than Zero)’. He recorded the song for the Less Than Zero Motion Picture Soundtrack, under the band name ‘Glenn Danzig and The Power & Fury Orchestra’. The song is actually a ballad. Danzig sounds very Elvis-esque in this song; so much so, that my friend and I used to refer to him as “The Satanic Elvis”.
Its about the PMRC and the how the Tipper Gores tried to censor music and were quite influential back in the 80's but they found the more they put "explicit lyrics" label on album covers only caused record sales go up
Seems like a good reason to request you do some Social Distortion, specifically, When She Begins as I think that song would fit Lex and Brad. Or do some of their songs like Story of My Life or Ball and Chain which were radio friendly songs back in the day. They are not really anything like Danzig, but Chuck Biscuits played drums for both bands at times.
This song was written to fight the censorship that was going on in the 90’s. MTV band the song from being aired. Yes MTV played music videos at one point.
Glen Danzig was the lead singer in the legendary punk band Misfits
The lead singer was the lead singer of a awesome punk band called the misfits and scream and dig up her bones are a couple good ones to check out glad your enjoy music
Man in context of the Era this song is really awesome
