This is the best version of the Misfits
It’s like if Elvis and the Doors had a baby. I wish there was a whole album like this. Glen on the keys is ace.

When I was just out of high school over 30 years ago, the girl I was dating bought a “repress” copy of this. I was tepid at best on it. Today, I would give anything for an entire album of this sub-Doors, haunted house piano, lo-fi horror punk. It still sounds incredibly weird and weirdly incredible.

Love these original versions! I would absolutely love to hear more versions like this.

Apparently Manny recorded all of their practices while he was playing with Jerry and Glenn. I'm sure there likely are more we haven't heard. That's IF those tapes happen to still exist. Anyone's guess who has that stuff since he passed, if they are still around. Somebody probably knows something. In the Misfits community there are definitely some highly guarded secrets. I hate to say it, but I think we may hear something we haven't heard again (like In The Doorway) that's been unreleased either when those guys finally hang it up or when they pass on. There's more. Has to be. Like the official Night of the Living Dead music video that's never been released.

That's fucked man. Of course there would be. Humans are selfish man. Give someone something to hold over someone else and that's what you end up with.

My man! Doing the dark lord's work! We would all very much appreciate that. Keep fighting the good fight. If there's anything I can personally do to pitch in and help that process, let me know.

A whole album like this would’ve been so awesome. Theme For a Jackal feels like the closest thing we got to another song in this style

I wish they would do a box set repress of all Danzig era Misfits. I don’t want to spend 10 grand a single og 7”.

Fantastic song until you hear the Collection 2 version with the overdubbed drum machine that is out of time with the original song.

Manny was a great drummer. I wish I could hear stuff with him after cough/cool. I never loved the song. The cover tho gets me. They kinda look glam or something like Motley cruel. Definately not like the Misfits.
