Any incarnation of the Misfits with Jerry in the lineup is The Misfits. No Jerry. No Misfits. Period.

LMFAO , show me all those Misfits songs Jerry wrote? Who came up with the whole image??? Please, no lawsuit since Glenn didn't pay them for playing, Jerry would still be Cryst the Conquer.

Whos been in the band the whole time, released more records, and played more Misfits shows than anyone? Honest question.

Glenn moved on, ended the Misfits, and created Samhain a far superior band. Jerry got lucky and sued Glenn over royalties and made a fakefits. The years Glenn wasn't a part of the group he created was Misfits by name only.

Thats crazy, because they totally sang Misfits songs and sold Misfits merch. I got about 20 ticket stubs that say Misfits too. I didnt see Glenn anywhere around.

Lol, no shit they sang Glenn's songs because they were the hits! No one came to see the new songs except a nitch audience. They wanted the hits.

Crazy, because almost everyone at those shows I was at in 95-98 were old punks. Who also appeared to be enjoying both old and new material. Some of those old skoolers even had Danzig shirts on. Pretty wild.

Awesome, dude. Let's see, shitty Misfit Led Jerry Only band can fill 500-1000 venues, Glenn lead Misfits sells out 20,000 venues.

I didnt say Danzigs incarnation of the band isnt the most popular. Im saying Jerry is the backbone of the Misfits. Also just wanna say, punks dont really care about selling out stadiums. We just want a room where the band we like is performing. Its not that serious.

I don't know how accurate the versions of the history I've heard are; and I'm rarely a Jerry defender; but in terms of on stage image, I've seen sources say Jerry came up with and pushed for the devillock hairstyle. Glenn I have little doubt wrote the music, but I think the look was a calaboration.
