All I wanted to say
And all I gotta do
Whod I do this for hey, me or you?
DANZIG
Excerpt from Astro Zombies"
A mysterious figure stands in the
shadows of the doorway, his stocky
framo rofecting light from a flickering
candle in the distance Long, pitch
black hair shrouds his face from
view, hanging down to a fight point
meeting the chin Eyeing through
etrands of hair he looks cud across
the room with a menacing glare. His
arm. reaches up and points at my
presence. A deep voice echos
against the murky wails. "What do
you want?" I tremble as I stand alone
in this cold crypt of an atmosphere.
staring at this humen dressed en-
Brely in black. "U, u u, uh, uh, uh,
G. G. G. GI, Glenn?" I stuttered as
small dribbles of sweat bead down
my forehead. "Yeah?," he quietly
asks. The lights suddenly flash on.
making me jump and luminating a
room Tu of movie paraphernalia,
comic books, skulls, horror related
Rems, and hundreds of Japanese
toys standing at attention. I am stun-
ned for a moment by the collection
that fils the room. "On, its you." he
shouts outward. Welcome
You might know him as the singer
songwriter/musician of Samhain, or
perhaps better yet as the main man
behind the legendary Misfits, a band
still rising in cut following three years
after as demise. Either way, 28 year
old Glenn Danzig, who resides in a
small township in New Jersey, is a
man of remarkable talents who uses
his creative juices wisely
Besides his famous crooning.com-
posing with the Micfits or Samhain,
Glenn in also an artist who designed
both Misfits and Samhain logos, plus
all the record artwork. Utilizing an
ole horror movie character The
Crimson Ghost," he added the right
touches of horror to the Misfits, mak-
ing it their trademark He started a
label for The Misfits that he still runs
today called Plan 9 Records. You
may not know that Glenn is an avid
collector of comic books (especially
Golden Age comics), Japanese toys,
books and videos which (amongst
his favorites are Astro Boy, Captain
Harlock, Devilman Black Jack and
many more), horror related articles
like B-movie posters and videos, and
vintage figure model kits, are just a
few more of the iloms in his mass
wall to wall collection. These things.
have been a major influence on
Glenn and his approach to both the
Misfits and Samhain. He sckscreens
all the Misfits Samhain 1-shirts in the
basement of his house by himself.
And recently he talks of releasing a
line of Misfits Samhain skateboards.
Glenn is definitely one busy person,
to say the least
Pushead
Pushead Lets start at the beginning.
What did you do before the Mists?
Danzig: Got drunk a lot went out,
went crazy got in a lot of trouble,
did some artwork
You said once that you took your
artwork to Marvel.
That was while I was in the Misfits.
The stuff before I just showed to
people, gave it away as presents.
that kind of junk
What got you to start a band and
call it the Misfits? The first record is
so different than what you did later
it wasn't really that much different,
because if Cough Cool would have
had guitar it would have sounded
like that. They're all from the same
bme period. As a matter of fact, Bullet
pre-dates Cough Cool by three
years. But it didn't come out bilway
after
How long before you came into the
conceptual aspect of Misfits? On
Cough Cool you guys are just stand-
ing thero, there's no guitar and it has
this real lend of sound, but the con
cept didn't appear until Night of the
Living Dead, which showed you
were into the horror stuf
Well, the Horror Business carrie be
fore that. Our records were basically
what you get to see, the Bullet 45
showed the violent side, the death,
accepting death, maybe even the
political side, but more on the violent
