I worked security at a show with the Jerry Only Misfits. Jerry was so cool, I'd asked to get a pic with him and he invited me into their touring trailer. He gave the whole security staff a free t-shirt that he signed. After that he stayed and took pics and signed the autographs of every single person that was left. I was the security that stayed there to make sure he was safe during that. It was in Seattle at Numoes.

Maybe it's just me but, I've always felt that the first Danzig era had a classic low budget slasher movie vibe, Graves had a more 90's slasher vibe, you know bigger budget and that it stood on the shoulders of the previous generation even if it didn't work out every time, and that the Jerry Only era was the ultra cheesey b-movies of the 1950's and 60's, maybe even a little more towards the direct to video type movies.

For a band as iconic as The Misfits I’m surprised there hasn’t been an official documentary by now. Great job!!!

I saw the Jerry Only Misfits in 2004 at Jaxx in Springfield, VA. The show was great, but what was really memorable was how Jerry sat on the edge of the stage after the show ended, and signed every single artifact that was asked of him. He stayed until every last fan had an autograph, and had a conversation with anyone who wanted to chat him up. I still have the autographed shirt and concert ticket from Jerry, Dez, and Marky Ramone.

"Glenn's open disdain he has for Marvel and DC and mainstream comic books."
Honestly based

I saw misfits this year in Jersey and was amazing. Best birthday gift I gave myself. Glenn thanked the audience numerous times throughout the show. He's just an overall great front man.

33:53 is killing me. I love the dude's honesty.
(with shame) "I don't know why he left the band, but they did have a fight over a cheeseburger."

I saw Danzig/Misfits in the early 90s. And this young punk next to us kept flipping Glen the bird and yelling obscenities and Glen warned him. It wasnt long and Glen shot off the stage about 25 ft out and tackled this annoying punk. Then began to beat him while singing the whole time the band never missed a beat. And needless to say the punk stopped flipping his birds. and the crowd cheered. What a great show!!!

Nothing will compare to Glenn Danzig, but I gotta admit the graves era was pretty good. I remember hearing dig up her bones for the first time and immediately being hooked.

The Misfits were the first punk band I admired as a 13 year old skater. To this day, still love listening to their highly influential music.

@bodybuildingjunkie 3 years ago

Probably my favorite punk band of all time and hybrid moments is one of my favorite songs period.

@chrisonly 3 years ago

Man, I love how much you love the Misfits, like I do. You did a fantastic Job here, many many thanks, its a blast to watch it

@Chudchanning 3 years ago

Glenn discusses the early origins of the band in a long form radio interview available on here, and basically those people mentioned didn't write or even perform anything, it was more of a potential members that didn't work out scenario. "Original" members are typically defined as the lineup that starts to build recognition via recordings and performances in my opinion. To me it was always Glenn danzig, Jerry only, Bobby Steele, and Joey image that were the true original misfits. Doyle is arguably the most iconic guitarist though

Jerry is one of the kindest people I've ever met... Last time I ever saw him ( in Grand Rapids Michigan) he would not leave the stage area until every one of the fans that wanted a quick moment or a high five or an autograph, got it. The whole story of the Misfits is entertaining, and you did a great job on this video my friend. I was almost late to work watching it..... Remember... Be good!

6:57 oh my gosh that baseline in cough cool version is amazing.! changes the dynamic of the song.

@johnocha8620 3 years ago

Original Misfits were the soundtrack to my life. I'm in my 40's now, same with my wife. For one of our anniversaries, we saw them in 2019. So it was kind of weird to hear this raw, spooky garage band years later with these great stage lights, props and screens. Danzig laughing and having a great time, Jerry stage sliding like no other at 60 and Doyle smashing on stage like the monster he is. Glad I got to be alive around this band!

@GreggNowhere 3 years ago (edited)

To be fair, the drum intro at 44 minutes is the Phil Spector drum intro, famous from the Ronettes classic "Be My Baby" from 1963 (considering Jerry's love for 50s and 60s music, that's probably where it was cribbed from) as well as being used in hundreds of other songs over the years.

Fun fact!: Phil Spector is a complete maniac who produced a Ramones album and allegedly forced them to record one of his songs at gunpoint.

@arsxnavlt 3 years ago

love how seemingly everybody found The Misfits when they were around age 13 and then became obsessed with their music. This was me too, and they will always hold a special place in my heart for introducing me to real punk.
