Danzig classy as ever
Glenn pulled some shit last night in Austin at fun fun fun fest
Hi. I book the fest. Those that are hating could NOT be more wrong. Yes, someone has your money and ripped you off. His name is Glenn. Stop by his
house in LA with some kitty litter in trade for your refund, but we still had to pay him and he didn't deserve it after what he pulled. Here is how it
went down...check the timeline:
-glenn flies in this morning and says he has a cold and doesn't want feel like playing the show. he demands french onion soup and vitamins brought to
his hotel suite. he wants to soup now and wants it hot. we get it.
-glenn says it's freezing in austin and he can't go on. says it's going to be 28 degrees tonight and he won't perform (keep in mind, it's currently 71
and sunny with a night forecast of maybe 50+). he says we have to move the show/festival inside if we want him to play (obviously, that's not
possible).
-we rent stage heaters (no other bands, public enemy, mcd, passion pit, etc need or want heaters on stage...it's warm up there and not cold out) for
glenn per demand, as well as bring in an onsite doctor to make him happy and be there if his cold doesn't go away.
-agents and managers assure us he's going to play now.
-glenn's band/crew arrive before him in the afternoon and load gear. they said it all works, they get up the danzig banner, check lights, are happy.
-glenn arrives at 7:45 (half hour before showtime, they go on at 8:15 exactly and have a 90 min set...park curfew by the city/police is 10pm
sharp)...when he arrives, he says he's not going to play. says he doesn't like how the banners are hung on stage and doesn't like the lighting or
stage size (all this was advanced in email and phone well in advance and the band/crew loaded in mid day and were happy with it and said it would
work...stage wasn't small at all). he wouldn't leave his trailer to go look at the stage, though, so the lighting company drew up specs for him to
look at of the stage lighting 50 feet from his trailer and brought it to him to look over and prove him wrong.
-in the meantime, glenn's bodyguard gets pushy (literally) with murder city devils manager and tells them they can't have their friends watch MCD from
stage and wants them to cut their set. kicks them off stage and gets physical with the band and stafff....oh, also danzig says he's just as big as
slayer and slayer is playing a bigger stage on sunday and that's bullshit and wants to play the same stage slayer is playing...or won't play. makes
him look bad.
-it's now 8:15 and time for them to go on. the band is ready, corpse make ups done, guitars tunes. glenn says he's not playing and that it's too cold
outside. he said big stages should have windscreen so wind can't blow on him from the side. the stage managers then goes and gets tarps and tarp the
entire side of the stage so now wind will hit him.
-it's now 8:40. we explain that it's cutting into the set and he's going to have cut the 90 min set if he doesn't play soon, as park curfew is 10. he
says he doesn't feel like playing. says "i got a deathbug. if i go on stage and get sick, i'll die. i'm not getting sicker for this show" (NOTE: he
totally looks and seems fine...no coughing, no paleness, no vomiting, just some balding and a gut, from what i can tell). we get the Dr and he says he
can do a b12 shot or anything he needs if he feels bad...danzig says he only treats illnesses naturally, so won't do that. we finally get him to agree
to play and have already informed his crew that it's only 60 mins (9pm at this point) and they start cutting some songs from the set list, so they can
still do misfits, but obviously didn't cut enough.
-they went on almost and hour late due to the HANDS DOWN biggest rock star moment we've ever dealt with and then he tries to start a riot and blames
the fest, the city, the cops and everyone, but himself. goes backstage and tries to fight a few ppl and get in the van and leaves.
the end....
we're bummed to. we wanted to hear Skulls.

It's rough being so famous and having to rely on nostalgia lineups of your past bands to draw a crowd to your gigs.
For the life of me I can't understand why people go see this boob play shows....you really need to hear skulls that badly? Is it that magical seeing
an old man grasping at the last strands of a dying career?
Watch a misfits video on youtube and save your cash and your dignity.

Here's how it would go down if I was running shit:
Per Mike Quinn's request (me) Danny North Side is flown in from Arizona via private jet.
Danny Northside provided with stromboli, beer and hotel room.
Danny is instructed to knock on said trailer door.
Knocks dickface out again.
The internet has another viral video.
Danzig is a cunt.

Glenn's ego has been out of control for years. He needs a good reality check. I'm a fan of the guys entire career, but fuck his attitude.

One of the few celebs" I ever met. It was the 1991 tour with soundgarden and COC. They did a record signing at Chris' Warped Records in Lakewood,
Ohio. The guitar player of Spudmonsters. Big line and we stood the entire time. I traded in my entire vinyl collection of Skinny Puppy records up to
TOO DARK PARK. Unopened. I won them at the Phantasy Theater during one of there industrial nights. THe box was never even opened that contained the
vinyl. I sold the records to get tickets for the DANZIG show at the signing. Got them. The line kept stopping so Danzig and band could smoke pot and
do whatever in the store. I can only imagine what ewas going on then seeing as how Danzig is now. Well we finally get in and the band is behind
folding tables and I ask several of them to sign the shirt I am wearing. They ablige. Danzig says no because its not his shirt. My friend who was
wearing a Msifits shirt asked and Danzig again refused. Danzig said it was a bootleg. After many discussions about this I stnever stopped thinking he
was an asshole but I kind of understood the bootleg thing.

That being said, was the first time ever seeing him in person and at the tender age of 14 felt like he was little bitch. I was seriously conflicted of
his image and who the dude actually was.

Trading in the Puppy vinyl was insane.

Works for me, I'd run a fest just to make this happen if I could.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I had always heard Danzig had an ego but that is ridiculous.
Support the arts, shoot a rapper.

I love the Misfits, Danzig & Samhain and would have gone to the Legacy tour if it was in Providence or Boston, but that is complete bullshit. I guess
its probably no worse than things that some HUGE 'real rockstar' bands have pulled. Maybe we expect more from someone on the level of Danzig?
I am not defending his behavior at all and I think the fest should have refused payment or should sue him (Judge Judy!) for not sticking to the
contract, but that being said Glenn Danzig is one of the 'rock star' names in punk.

he always had bodyguards.
even back in 1990 when I saw him making an appearance @ Rock n Roll + on South Street.
Dude wasn't even allowed to talk to him I hear.
He did that same shit with Misfits t shirts back then.
I am a big fan of Misfits / Samhain and his early stuff, but that guy is a serious pud
