Is Glenn Danzig the world's biggest douchebag these days?
 
Well, what say you all?

* Looks like a steroid monster inside the body of a petrol attendant.
* Sings rubbish songs in an annoyingly shouty voice
* Gets punched out regularly after trying to start trouble with people.
* Seems very much without a sense of humour.

I vote "yes" - his glory days of the Misfits are way past him now.

terriblecanyons 10.31.2008 10:36 AM

He is the King of Douchebaggery.

sarramkrop 10.31.2008 10:36 AM

I thought that he was dead, to be honest.

atsonicpark 10.31.2008 10:38 AM

I didn't know he was still alive either.

floatingslowly 10.31.2008 10:50 AM

I'm sure he was ALWAYS a douchebag. the world just caught up to (and surpassed) his level of darkness. without the relevancy of evil to prop up his image (9/10 neo-goth-punks prefer Marilyn Manson), the cracks started to show.

that said, the Thrasher Magazine - June '86 interview with him had a serious impact on my yet-to-be-DOOM-filled mind.

noisereductions 10.31.2008 11:01 AM

I havent paid any attention to him since "Mother." Regardless of anything since, he was in the Misfits, so he's got a get out douche free card in my book.

tesla69 10.31.2008 11:45 AM

He's definitely not the biggest, Cheney has him beat on that one hands down.

noisereductions 10.31.2008 11:50 AM

Are we seriously discussing this topic when this guy is walking around somewhere out there:

 

floatingslowly 10.31.2008 12:05 PM

^^^ I have no idea who the fuck that is, but it looks like he's had a recent ass-to-chin transplant.

great googly moogly that's disgusting.

Sonic Youth 37 10.31.2008 12:23 PM

Yes, but still I'd like him to front the Misfits nowadays, unless he does that, he can crawl into a ball and die.

Glenn gets rocked:

greedrex 10.31.2008 12:25 PM

never heard of the cunt

al shabbray 10.31.2008 12:56 PM

I feel the urge to listen to "mother" now

SuperCreep 10.31.2008 01:03 PM

Yes, and the Misfits are fucking boring as hell.

al shabbray 10.31.2008 01:04 PM

I never got into them, too

atsonicpark 10.31.2008 01:16 PM

HAHAHAHA, "boring". You're kidding, right? That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this board. Bahaha.

The Misfits (old Misfits, the Danzig-lead Misfits) are one of the best bands ever. Better than Sonic Youth, actually.

do you take a lot of downers?

noisereductions 10.31.2008 01:18 PM

wow. the Misfits were incredible. Their understanding of melody was borderline genius.

atsonicpark 10.31.2008 01:21 PM

Yeah. It's okay to dislike amazing music, who cares about people's opinions.. but jesus.. to call them boring? That's like saying Britney Spears is "Noisey" or something. It's just so fucking wrong.

noisereductions 10.31.2008 01:28 PM

haha.

Michael Bouble is heavy.

greedrex 10.31.2008 01:29 PM

yeah and Nick Drake is fookin' ROUGH.

SuperCreep 10.31.2008 02:16 PM

Sorry, I just don't hear any worth in them. They sound like a watered downed Damned/Ramones hybrid without a good sense of humor.

atsonicpark 10.31.2008 02:18 PM

Misfits have some of the best melodies ever.

Completely unique for a punk band when they came out.

"Halloween" "Horror Hotel" "Horror Business" "Hybrid Moments" "Where Eagles Dare".. fucking amazing songs. Damn.

Sonic Youth 37 10.31.2008 02:20 PM

Seriously, no one else sounds like the Misfits. Those 3 Danzing era albums are all gold. I've probably listened to "We Bite" at least 6 times already today.

atsonicpark 10.31.2008 02:28 PM

Yes, and what a great day to listen to the Misfits.

greedrex 10.31.2008 02:31 PM

 

 

ha yeah!

floatingslowly 10.31.2008 02:32 PM

^^^ there is no Glenn Danzig in that picture!

atsonicpark 10.31.2008 02:34 PM

well, not that era.

greedrex 10.31.2008 02:39 PM

ooops i failed

noisereductions 10.31.2008 02:56 PM

No sense of humor??? What the hell? Are you even talking about the Misfits?

noisereductions 10.31.2008 02:57 PM

Later day Misfits is cheesy, but fun. I'd actually take Graves/Doyle Misfits over most recent Danzig albums. But of course none of it comes close to WALK AMONG US, STATIC AGE, etc.

Not you, Greedrex... this creep.

greedrex 10.31.2008 03:01 PM

oops sorry.

SuperCreep 10.31.2008 03:04 PM

Note I said "good sense of humor" not none whatsoever.

psh.

Glenn Danzig may very well be a major douche, however that doesn't change the fact that Danzig era Misfits are one of my favorite bands of all time.
