So it is officially one week away, the Danzig show at House of Blues, that is. I am sooo psyched!! I have only seen him once before, and OOOBoy, let me tell you! I f you are a Danzig fan, then you know he was the singer for my second favorite band of all-time, The Misfits. Pre-1995 Misfits that is. The "new" Misfits are horrible, it's a joke really. Glenn wrote all the songs and his voice is so unique to the songs, anything else is sub-par!! Anyway, there are things in my life, musically that is, that I have come to know, will never happen. Alice In Chains and Pantera (#'s 1 and 3, respectively on my All-Time list) will never truly play again live. Layne Stayley is dead and so is Dimebag Darrell. Slayer will never put out an "unplugged" album. Black metal will never be as cool as the story behind it all. And I thought I would never see Misfit songs played live and sung by Danzig in my lifetime. He said it himself. But lo and behold, he was at Lupo's and so was the former guitar player form The "real" Misfits. After Danzig's set, he called, more like bellowed to the back,"Doyle!" and out he came. And before I could realize what was going on, they ripped into a 30-minute set of Misfit tunes! I tell you, I have been to alot of shows in my day, some good, some bad, this blew all of them out of the fucking water! It was, for me, a divine experience. If there is a Heaven, that was what it would be, Danzig, live, playing nothing but Misfits. So here we are, 5 years later, Danzig has a new album (coming out the day after the show), and who is opening for him, you may ask? Gorgeous Frankenstein, Doyle's new band! I smell a Misfit encore, and I could not be happier! And to top it all off, before the show, Glenn's doing a signing at Newbury Comics! If I can get in, I'm gonna have him sign my arm, right under my Misfit skull tattoo. My buddy is a tattoo artist and said after the show he'll tattoo into my arm, so I will have it with me always!!! Excited doesn't even begin to describe how I am feeling now, one week removed. I don't even think I will do my traditional pre-concert ritual of smoking a "fatty"! I probably will though, I will be a bit nervous. First of all, if I meet this guy, what the fuck am I going to say to him and not sound like an asshole?!? I mean I have been listening to The Misfits/ Samhain (his other band)/Danzig for 20 years now! He's a fucking legend in my eyes! I hope I don't blow it and pass out or worse, have him think I'm a tool! I'll be sure to fill you all in on what happens. One week! Can't wait! Later, bitches!!
