get over it!!! (my Misfits rant)

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 10, 2004

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

im a complete Danzig fan, that why my user name is danzig, anyway, the point im gettin too is that Danzig left 20 years ago, and as a Danzig fan reviewing this, i think Graves has done justice to the Misfits, Graves has an amazing voice, and people hate him becuase he had to be the guy to fill BIG...B-I-G shoes, thets the way i look at it, Graves isnt trying to be Danzig one bit, and the Re-formed Misfits are just as great as the old, but in a completely differant way since these are more metal than punk, so whats the point in judging them based on the old Misfits, ok they shouldnt really be called the Misfits because they have had SO many members in the past, they have kinda lost the Misfits blood, and if they were called something else, people wouldnt hate Graves as much as the Die hard Danzig fans do, but why not dwell on the past when you can just go out and get Danzig albums? why not listen to the Misfits with Graves and give it a chance and stop being stupids turds about the situation? hell, Fat mike out of NOFX got over it!!!........ so...... as i was saying,This is a great album, (now thats what i call a rant!!!)

Misfits - Famous Monsters

Pros: Great sound, lyrics

Cons: Last CD w/Michale Graves, Doyle

The best guitarist in punk rock shreads all over this album with reckless abandon. Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein shows his mastery of the classic punk three chord progression from start to finish. Songs to look out for include Witch Hunt, Helena and the opening Kong. This is classic Misfits horror punk of yesterday combined with current methods of album production for a clean sound. Michale Graves' voice is awesome and it's too bad things didn't work out after this album was made.

A little on the metal side.

Ok when I first heard this CD my friend was like "Hear this" and I said this sucks who is it?And he said THE MISFITS and said holy shit.Really it wasnt that I didnt like the music it was the fact that I dont like metal.And since I really hadnt heard the Pyscho album I wasnt familiar with the new Misfits.But after a while I got used to it.

Danzig...Graves... its all good!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 10, 2003

Danzig is gone accept it! Danzig has made some great albums on his own anyway! So, now there are now two great bands to appreciate: Danzig and The Misfits. If you miss Danzig go buy one of his great albums! Having said that and being a Misfit fan I enjoyed this line up with Michael Graves and Dr. Chud just as much as the old Danzig days, if not better in some ways. This album is a little more heavy metal sounding, though it is not as heavy as "American Pyshco" There is not one song one this album I don't like. I expecially like "Helena" Didn't "Gates of Kong" appear in WCW? If you like this album definately buy "American Psycho" They have the same band line up and sound similar but the music is heavier.

the best of the best

The Misfits always make great records,but this is one of thier best.I don't think that there is a bad song on the record.

awsome as hell, MOTHER FUCK

Reformed For The Worst

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 22, 2002

The "new" Misfits (Misfits without Danzig) are disappointing compared to the Misfits from '77-'83. As a completely different band, they are good.. but what we've been shown in the early days, we expect a lot better. As oidhche_shamhna said, Only and Doyle had that Christian-pride band and broke up the Misfits for "daddy". Although I respect them both, I agree. They shouldn't have been selfish and ended what could have been the best punk band. Why this gets a "2" and not a "1" is because of the catchy Danzig-type 50s backing vocals, but they stole them.. so, what can I say. You decide.

buy it

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 16, 2001

Modern classic with living legends.
New songs, new scares, and a somewhat different flavor and aura about this one.
A little more metal.

Kryst The Conquerer

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 7, 2001

Kryst The Conquerer is back and still trying to get some credit for being in Glenn Danzig's old band "The Misfits" go ahead buy this stupid album, we all remember that when Jerry and Doyle could have stayed in The Misfits They chose to work for thier Daddy! and when Danzig, Zing & Von were doing Samhain, Jerry & Doyle had thier nice christian metal band called Kryst The Conquerer, I know who you Jerry & Doyle really are, they wish they could go back to 1983 and stay with Glenn, but times change and Glenn will not work with quiters. So go ahead and buy the nice rip off artist's new album.

Misfits Power to the people

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 27, 2001

This ghostly punk is great in their album man

HELL YEAH, GREAT ALBUM.

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 21, 2001

Jesus, you Danzig freaks need to shut the fuck up and accept this as a whole new sound, that in my opinion, is even better than the old, except for "Walk Among Us." Classic, catchy stuff from beginning to end. The video for "Scream" is fuckin' sweet.

RE: Punks in trouble

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 16, 2001

Oh ye of little mind, apparently, considerably smaller genitalia. The funny thing is, every one of the "now" bands you mentioned (slipjock, limp dick, etc) possess all the credibility, uniqueness, and viatality of a two-day old McDonald's Happy Meal (minus the special sauce, of course). In other words, like yourself, your select bands, have no taste and even less imagination. If wasn't for bands like the Misfits, Metallica and the Melvins, half (if not more) of the bands currently pumping out "punk," would have no idea how to "write" a song, using the term write loosely.Most of the bands you mentioned, if not all of them, learned how to "play" their instruments by honing in on the musical genius of the Misfits, Metallica, Motorhead, and the Melvins. In short, you're right, the current state of punk is in trouble. So long as its left to diaper-rash victims, not unlike yourself.

Sincerely,
Thirty-two

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 29, 2001

i recently began to listen to the misfits, and i have to say this is my favorite cd, eventhough the band was bad ass with danzing, this new stuff is something different but much better! Helena is the best song on there!!!

Re: PUNKS IN TROUBLE (you moron)

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 11, 2001

You are a fucking moron. So what you are saying is that any musci that wasn't released in the late nineties is garbage. Open your mind loser. I'm sorry if I think that Limp Bizkit and Blink 182 suck and think that Black Flag, Bad Brains, Slayer, Coroner, Misifts, Melvins etc... are good bands and think their older material is their stronger material. You're probably 14 and havne't had the opportunity to actually hear this music when it was released so you then have to assume that it's garbage. My basic point here is that you are a REAL CLOSE MINDED LOSER and you should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

three words......Misfits @ best

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 18, 2001

This is the first Misfits cd I ever bought, and Im glad I did. Go buy it!

jon arbuckle is a fucking retard

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 1, 2001

Fuck man, all Misfits are the shit, quit bitching about "It's not good unless it's Danzig!" Fuck him, he quit, who cares, he's cool, but the Misfits still kick ass. I wouldn't give a shit if Michael Jackson snag for them, they would still rip over ample other bands. Except for Tool.

Famous Monsters for Famous Monsters

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 27, 2001

Famous Monsters is an album that gets better evry time you hear it. It's excellent your first time, and it becomes more and more classic each time you hear it. From movie plotted songs('Forbidden'zone, 'Pumpkinhead', 'Helena') to power ballads(the beautiful 'Saturday Night') to classic misfit evil('hunting humans', 'fiend club'). It is recommended to find the import of this album if you can, for the song '1 million years BC' an excellent song. Classic music for all of you classic monsters

misfits without balls

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 10, 2001

i liked the previous album but the new
stuff sucks
the real problem in my opinion is that
the production is very soft for a misfits album it reminds me the new
punk rock mouvement(offspring etc)
it s not brutal as the real misfits

When you think they can't get worse...

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 28, 2000

...they do. Yes that's right. I have every Misfits Album ever created and I saw them in concert in 1997 just before Danzig left the group for good. Compared to the old style, American Psycho was more metal than hardcore punk. In my opinion, it was pretty bad. However, I thought they would get better with their next attempt. I hoped they would realize that selling out is not the way to go in the punk scene, but alas, they did anyhow, and they went downhill with their latest attempt, Famous Monsters. This album is the worst Misfits album of all time. I am disgusted. Give me the deep, dark voice of Glenn and the choppy rifs of the old misfits. That was truly hardcore punk at its finest. What more could I say except this...
FAMOUS MONSTERS = CRAP.

When I sin, I sin real good..

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 30, 2000

The Misfits...

Now... on Halloween 2000 - the fate of the Misfits is unclear... with the departure of Mike Graves and Dr. Chud, will the Misfits survive? Yes.

As much as the hardcore fans swear that the Misfits were only the Misfits because of Glenn Danzig... well... there were TWO founding members... Glenn Danzig, and Jerry Only. Jerry has kept the "bonfires burning bright..." and now it's time for the man to return to his castle... Danzig... come back now... while you still have dignity... save your band.

FAMOUS MONSTERS -- a pretty good album... "Saturday Night" is one of the best songs I've heard in years... going back to punk musics real roots - dirty 50's rock... "Scarecrow Man" is pure psychobilly... and "Helena" is just a fuck you in the face with a chainsaw type of song...

Do yourself a favor... buy this album, and pray that Danzig returns...

Well, i got somethin' to say....

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 28, 2000

I love the new Misfits album! But, I don't think that the new singer is nearly as good as Danzig! So, I love the Misfits. They're my favorite band, but, DANZIG FOREVER!

Famous Monsters- best Misfits album yet

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 15, 2000

The Misfits latest album, Famous Monsters, is AWESOME!!!!!! The Misfits prove that their powerful horror music will stand the test of time. They have once again bested themselves, and will remain absolutely the best punk band that has ever existed!! Michale Graves wails over Doyle's pulsing guitar riffs, Dr. Chud's explosive drums, and Jerry's brooding bass. Just check out "Saturday Night" and "Scarecrow Man"! The Misfits have been around since the beginning of time and will live on forever in their music and the souls of their fiendz.
