Mohawks Rock

I'm going to see Misfits tomorrow with a buddy that has NEVER seen them perform. Now back in the day, I remember the shows being fuckin' crazy! I think even just knowing that it was them blew my mind away. They influenced me greatly. Now the thing is I have major respect for the band, more so with Danzig but Graves did open up a whole new door to the more modern misfits. I guess for what it was in the 90's at least. Later on, once Graves left the band, Jerry Only tried as always, to keep the band together as we all know. Back around 2003, I saw Jerry Only perform with Dez from Black Flag, Marky Ramone....a very interesting performance lol. Marky Ramone, left the band in 2005 and who come crawlin back? ROBO! WOW! Now we need Doyle and its on! This band has been through a lot, I could say three different eras. The Danzig Era, Graves Era, and the Only Era haha.
So what do I think of Misfits? I wish so bad I was around to have seen THE Misfits but like Danzig says, that will never happen again. I prefer them cuz it was original, simple. As for Misfits, I dont have much to say...I loved the music and it was a lot harder with a taste of metal I guess. But once Jerry Only took over, I feel for the dude cuz he tried so hard to keep the band together but dammit, he sold out. For the longest, it wasn't even the band anymore. Now two original members make it more acceptable, back then was really rough on the existence of the band. Sometimes, you just have to let go and let punk legend take its course in history. BUT no, Jerry had to find a way to make money out of the band. Advertising it crazy creating fans of today not knowing shit about them. They other day some chick was complimenting my tat and she was like "Oh I love the logo, I bought a shirt the other day but I don't know who they are ha ha ha." My mouth dropped. I just didn't know whether to go off at her or fuckin' educate her fuck! AH what a disgrace! I was so disappointed. Now there's an original Misfits fiend club. Oh yeah did I mention, I have to pay $29.99 to be a member and that's the November special. Also, Jerry is in another band called Osaka Popstar. Seems like it was mainly put together for all the Japan fans. Oh and remember, Japan advertises very gawd damn well. The band sounds like Balzac but even more poppy. I think Balzac flipped the pages on "Misfits."
I don't mean to give Jerry Only a bad name but it's like he took the band for granted and turned it all into a business. Tomorrow I'm gonna show my buddy a good time. Hopefully, Misfits can still fuckin' kick ass on the stage and if so, I hope these hardcore fans can keep up cuz I'm hoping to see blood baby! I wanna see punk rock! Rock on guys!
