The Night the Lights Went Out On Danzig

Coming of age in the mid-‘90s, I held certain truths to be self-evident. Jim Carrey was the funniest human being alive. Home computing technology peaked with Windows 95. The President would never commit perjury over a blowjob. One day I would be able to grow a lengthy, Rasputin-esque beard that would impress all the ladies. Of all these truths, the most obvious to my young, Tarantino-addled mind was the fact that hard rock superstar Glenn Danzig was a total killing machine who could take anyone in a fight, with the possible exceptions of Henry Rollins and Goro from Mortal Kombat.
I can’t tell you why it was so vital to believe some shirtless meathead from New Jersey could stomp out anyone who stepped to his massive belt buckle. I suppose after the collapse of grunge, the arrest of O.J., and the cancellation of Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, there was very little left to believe in. Investing in the idea that the guy who sang “Mother” honestly meant it, that he would trounce any child who walked his way, seemed secure. I know I’m not alone on this. In fact, I’m fairly certain the entire back row of my tenth grade drawing class shared this belief, despite never being able to agree on anything else (especially whether or not Aerosmith had any talent). If that back row was a microcosm of our country’s teenage population at the time (and I suspect it was, despite the weirdo kid from Illinois who claimed the only post-‘70s band he was familiar with was Soundgarden), then most of young America was certain Glenn Danzig really knew how the gods killed.
Part of the reason we were able to buy into Danzig’s shtick is because he had the résumé to back it up. Between 1977 and 1983, he led the Misfits, the storied punk band whose platform seemed to revolve solely around graphic violence and bodybuilding. Where other punks of the day were sickly beanpoles yelping about the ills of the world, muscular Glenn and his monstrous pals (the linebacker-cut Caiafa brothers, Jerry and Doyle) stalked the stage threatening to knife anyone who followed them into the bathroom. The aggression went beyond the music; listen to any live Misfits bootleg from that era and you’re bound to hear Danzig interrupt songs to call out unruly audience members, former band mates, and sometimes even the people who didn’t show up to the concert. This psychotic vibe may have been too much for most punks, but the denim-clad heavy metal masses ate it up. By the end of the ‘80s, the two biggest rock groups in the world, Metallica and Guns N’ Roses, both cited the Misfits as a heavy influence and the mainstream rock community welcomed Glenn like a returning war hero when he released his eponymous hard rock debut in 1988.
Of course, Glenn could have gone and joined the Church of Satan or started carving people up for real, and that would still only be half the reason Danzig’s inherent strength and pure evil seemed utterly undeniable. The other 50 percent of that equation, the truly amazing 50 percent, is that Glenn Danzig sounded a lot like Elvis Presley (I say “sounded” because, let’s face it, the guy’s voice went out with the Clinton Administration). Comparisons have also been made to Doors leader Jim Morrison; either one is applicable, really. The Lizard King and the Regular King both possessed a rich, sexual baritone that tapped deep into the hearts, minds and bone marrow of rock ‘n’ roll fans, commanding them on a subconscious level to wiggle their hips or light their fire or grow obscenely large muttonchops. Danzig was blessed with that same vocal power, the ability to reel back and howl a truly soul-shaking note into the stratosphere. That power compelled the same type of people who congregated outside Graceland and Père Lachaise a generation before to get cow skull tattoos and believe a guy named after the sixth-largest city in Poland could turn their face into oatmeal.
The key difference, however, between Presley, Morrison and Danzig, is that the former two never issued as many literal challenges as the latter. Elvis never sang, “I ain’t no goddamn son of a bitch.” Thus, when the Tupelo Kid turned into the Tupelo Houseboat and died taking a grumpy, humanity was surprised but not completely let down. Similarly, Jim Morrison never claimed to be the Bringer of Death; a smart move considering the bearded, mumbling, wine-swilling caricature he turned into (Mr. Mojo Risin’ was literally a stick and stovepipe hat away from being a 1930s hobo). Danzig, on the other hand, continued to make outrageous lyrical boasts well into the 21st century, seemingly begging the fates to give him a swift, painful comeuppance. No mortal man ever called his bluff, though, because he was Danzig. His reputation for ass-kickery was so grand that his first name had become irrelevant. Glenn? There was no Glenn—only Danzig. Satan’s Child. Son of the Morning Star. Keeper of the Misery Tomb and an unsightly pile of bricks on his front lawn (famously complained about by neighbor Beck Hansen in a 1999 issue of Spin).
This would all change the night of July 3, 2004, after a Danzig concert in Tuba City, Arizona. Danny Marianinho, a man who matched Danzig in size if not musculature, sought out the New Jersey Devil to address the fact that his band had not been allowed to play that night despite a six hour drive and numerous verbal promises. Danzig, in no mood to be trifled with as he met with adoring fans, listened to Marianinho’s complaints for about a minute and a half before unleashing a forceful shove laced with requisite expletives. Marianinho, stunned but not incapacitated by this show of physicality, responded with a right hook that sent the American Nightmare to the floor faster than Mop & Glow. The small crowd surrounding them erupted into a flurry of shouts and scuffles. The Devil did not magically appear, but someone did plug a guitar in and began soloing madly.

Great video clip of Glenn getting his bell rung! Looks like Danny took offense (as did I) to Danzig being compared to Presley and Morrison.
hilarious!!!! and so well written
Did i hear Glenn say Mommy…
Seems like Glenn had it comming
The realty of this situation is that Danzig wasn’t expecting this guy to retaliate the way he did and he got caught..thats it,I don’t think it was the beginning of the end for him at all he is and always will be a great artist(frontman) he is an icon this idiot who punched him is some 40 year old jerk off still trying to suck c*ck for an opening slot which never happens he is a loser and everyone makes him out to be some hero. Danzig is a household name, I mean I have heard this guys name a half a dozen times and I still couldn’t tell you it if you ask me, what does that tell you his 15 minutes are up.Oh I am sure Danzig would probably beat the hell out of this dude if given the chance, and for the younger fans out there who don’t know shit about music and wanna watch someone get knocked out go watch UFC but if you wanna hear some great music that still stands the test of time and who %90 of the bands are influenced by listen to the entire Misfits catalog or Samhain or Danzig
Whatever he barely got hit.
The guy was over fifty years old at this point. I’m not defending his actions, but fer Crissake, this happened years ago, I saw it after it first happened, get over it already.
Kind of a quick, glancing shot, but goddamn, this should have been written 3 years ago. WGAS now?
but it wasn’t written 3 years ago.
aaa y ke tanto loko
el wn kanta la rajaaaa
notice that no one ever says ‘danzig is an influence’, it’s the misfits. danzig was boring us all more than a decade ago with his pathetic rock and this youtube video is probably the only thing produced from him of any interest.
btw, wtf happened to parker lewis, i thought corin nemec had a rockin’ career ahead of him…he had the talent, but you gotta wonder if he burned some bridges as well b/c part of casting is ‘do i really want to hang out with this actor for 16 hours a day for 5 months?’
who cares,I still will buy Danzig cds,nobody wins all the time,he is human,I don’t know anyone who has heard of the other guy.Danzig just put out lost tracks(has some great songs on it), and has a movie comming out in ‘08,again I would like to point out the other guy is doing what?
i care. this shit is hilarious!
it has merit because of danzig’s catalogue filled with punishment of all varieties.
no one’s discrediting what he did in the past.
Danzig really must’ve held back cuz he could have killed danny by accident. Danzig will always be the best.I love you, gorgeous!
Too bad there is no video of Bonnie Bramlett clocking Elvis Costello back in the day. This a one is weak unless you actually LIKE The Misfits. Maybe it’s because I’m an old f**k, but I never did enjoy their over-salesmanship.
Their music? Ha! They WISH they could be The Mentors.
Irrelevant old buff rocker floored by fat hack. Good lord, it just doesn’t get any better than this.
Danzig according to some dude on another message board seems to have history of being beat up. Don’t know if this true but I hear Phil Lynott beat him up in like ‘79 or ‘80.
its too bad you werent there cus he got back up and went after him, and the guy filming didnt get it on tape
Great Story! Isn’t he like 5′4”, my grandma coulda knocked him out.
How tall is the guy who hit Glenn? Didn’t his mommy ever teach him to pick on people his own size. Being only five feet tall myself I know how it feels to walk through life always being an easy target. If you think being short has given Mr. Anzalone a nasty attitude you should see a short woman get angry! Getting punched is not funny and anyone who thinks so needs to GROW UP and get a life.
Any one who thinks Glenn shouldn’t be compared to Jim or Elvis can BITE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone who still thinks Danzig is the toughest person alive is soerly mistaken. I was at his most recent concert in San Fran and i waited 4 hours and paid FAR OUT THE ASS just to see some 50 year old man IN A SLING trying to act like the infamous Danzig. He didn’t have a broken arm BTW so no way you could make it look bad ass on his part on how he might have damaged his arm enough for him to wear a sling.
Iam not dissing his music, i think he has an awsome voice and is very talented but as far as iam concered danzig is no more immortal than your average Jock.
Ps: he needs to start making more albums like Like Danzig 1-3, those are some sick albums.
pinche pendejo como puedes ablar de glenn
we
i poner una foto casi insultandolo
haha no mereces llamar y poner su nomber
pobre invesil
why would anyone care if the guy can beat people up; of course he could he worked out and thats a small amount of people in the states. to my knowledge only one man in the world can win every fight and that man is …unknown to me or anyone. the guy knows music and good music. from punk to metal hes one of the best no madder how many stupid kids only know him threw new misfits
I give Glenn credit for even standing
up to the big guy. Anyone can get knocked out at anytime. Glenn has done it by himself for a long, long time. He is one of the greatest heavier music songwriter’s of all time.
I don’t know when I was supposed to like an artist for any reason other than his art, which I should mention in this case is music and comic books, not ass-kickery. Danzig has brought me YEARS of inspiration. As for the punch? You shouldn’t shove someone when you can hit them. As for the Northside Kings? Still counting on the word “Danzig” to be Googled.
That Fucking rockstar deserved it. Northside Kings!
That Fucking rockstar deserved it. Northside Kings!
Oh, no doubt, Danzig started shit when he pushed the guy…are the Northside Kings known for anything else? I can’t find anything about them online that doesn’t have to do with Danzig, or that they didn’t post themselves. Actually, even the stuff they post refers to Danzig. Talk about “One Hit Wonders!”
Hell Yea Danzig kicks ass, mother F**ker!!!!!!
We’ll pretend Glenn didn’t take on a bunch of skinheads in England by himself, get thrown into prison for it and write one of the great atmospheric punk songs about the experience. If that’s not bad ass then I don’t know what is.
And Glenn’s legacy will last far longer than some set up internet video from some crap band looking to make a name for themselves. Anyone can hit a 50 year old man after he’s played a two hour show and RUN. I might try it sometime so I can act tough too.
The writer of this article is no better than the writers of the US, People, Star mag in that he would rather focus on Danzig’s personal life and spend 2 pages talking about his downfall instead of his work. I think the author should go to work for a gossip mag where he could showcase his talents.
i’ve been a danzig fan for about 17 yrs so the guy gets hit!! have you ever had your ass kicked? I’ll tell you the more of an ass beating you can take the more ass beating you can give that is a fact. Forget this bullshit and focus on the music.
Interesting that people are still writing about this 3 years later. Sure he has a rockdemon image but he is only human. Anyone can get punched and it does not make them sissys. Or is a majority ultimate fighter a sissy? No one is unbeatable.
i can beat up anybody
Glenn Danzig Anzalone has been and always will be the most talented, intelligent and most good looking man ever walked on this earth. James Greene and Danny Marianinho will always be nobodies!
yeah yeah anoher douchebag writer hack with no musical talent trying to make himself feel like hot shit… Danzig has more relevance and musical talent than idiots like you give him credit for..
i say,”yeah,so he gets hit…and it did make me cringe…but,in the same way that all people we look up to. when chuck lidell got his ass handed to him,i felt the same way: its when you trust that no one can beat up your hero…lets not be against the writer too much,i mean,he obvious has a deep deep deep love for danzig. why else would he so intimately recall his memories of danzing? its a simple case of watching the guy you have a man crush on get hammered…its not the writers fault…we cant choose our crushes…”
Wow! It’s a shame, seems this story will follow him the rest of his career. Everyone loves to see the greats fall. His music still rocks love the lost tracks. Maybe he’ll get another chance to kill someone and fix his legend.
I betting this “author” didn’t even watch the vid. The fat dude clearly missed the short dude. The short guy spun avioding the blow. Then the fat guys mass pushed him to the ground.
Personally, I think Fat dude got lucky there were other people around. He probably would have been the next Hoffa. :)
Anyway thanks Crawdaddy for wasting my time. Why don’t you pull the old article from your site?
Wow, Danzig is cool and all but god-DAMN does he have some retarded fans. Protip: if you take Danzig that seriously you probably have “a wolf’s soul” and jerk off to Animal Planet documentaries, hth.
Danzig’s a pathetic loser…..end of story.
Glenn Danzig was great in his time. But, let’s face it. Danzig is a 52 year old man who has spent the last 31 years or so trying to prove to anyone who will listen to him long enough that he is evil, tough and scary. The only thing Glenn has proven is that he is either really stubborn or incredibly stupid. While many of his fans beg for a Misfits reunion (which would be the best thing that ever happened to Glenn fianancially), he keeps saying “no” and rambling about maintaining some integrity.
Integrity? The fact remains that anyone with a firm grip on reality and even remotely good vision can see on the video clip that Glenn got knocked on his ass. Did he get knocked out? Probably not. But for a man who claims he has integrity to get knocked on his ass by a younger, larger man and then try to save face by saying something as adolescent as “yeah, I would have killed him in two seconds” and “they were trying to set me up to punch him so they could sue me” is pretty fucking lame and weak.
REAL tough guys admit when they get their asses kicked and, most of all, know how to pick their fights WISELY.
If anyone should be mad at anybody, they should be mad at Danny Marianinho (the “fat guy” from The Northside Kings)for slugging a senior citizen.
Musically, I enjoy everything Danzig did from 1977 on up to the Danzig 4 album. After that, I tuned out. The songs might have been great, but the production value, in my opinion, was shit. Thank God Glenn is a good songwriter because he’s a lousy producer.
North Side Kings are a bunch of morons. Fat Danny is a pussy and desrves a bullet or two in the head. I’m not really a Danzig fan but that attack on him was just cheap and cowardly.
if it wasnt for glen you assholes would have nothing to cry about
You ask any fighter, you take a haymaker like that your chances
of staying on your feet are slim to none.This james Green Jr. who wrote this bullshit article couldn’t stand up to a hit like that. His punk ass would still be in the hospital patting his chest and trying to bite his own ear. This North Side Queen danny what’s his name
is a nobody. Never was and never will.
There is and will always be so much respect for Glenn’s talent
that piddly B.S. like this is all but forgotten about.
Danzig your music rocks, and don’t trip, I’ll get ahold of that north side queen and rape his bitch ass. post it on utube
And let this James green jr. replay that over and over again.
Danzig, or Dwarfpig as he is called on YouTube, appears to have been completely destroyed by this beating. He hasn’t recorded any metal since, and has cancelled tours, clearly depressed. He LOOKS depressing – short, fat, and very greasy. And he hits women and children, apparently, so he was asking to be beaten up. That big dude beat him to the floor so easily! It’s really very amusing.
wot you gota say stuff like that aboet glen hes? the best metler ever and fuckin he could of killed that fat fukre!! glens musceler than dani nskay so there! if you dont like glen you dont like metal simpel as that why that jornalist gota rwite that stuf about glen glens my bigest heroe and im his bigest fan so I knows wot Im talkin about glen was onley scaired he ed get sued by that fat bloak!!! its true also glen is intelegant with his lirics but poeple say hes stupid he isnt stupid how can he? be hes famose.

Let’s pretend we all admire how this clown author loves to play with words, shitting on Danzig’s music (knowing it well!), just for a matter of a fight.
You don’t like the man? Fine, masturbate yourself seeing this video 20 times. Who gives a fuck about your writing? Glenn has 30 years of creative music, video and comics.
So carry on this flag of illusion, you loser! Let’s go destroy Danzig and his legions of hell! You’re stupid, Tell me… you passed 3 years writing about this until some stupid jerk told you that’s funny enough for idiots to enjoy, don’t it?
Yea, the video is still there on YouTube for you to replay every time you want, asslicker! Go there!

danzigsbigestfan138, Hey brother your harts in the right place. But damn, use some spell check or something.
B.T.W “It’s a long way back from hell.”
I think Beaumont is a fag.
This article is hilarious. For too long, that stupid midget assumed a ‘hard man’ image, and it backfired spectacularly. Beaten up after his own show, by a fat thug from a support band (and who looks like a bouncer!) – it’s truly ruined Danzig’s whole scene. Tough shit, loser.
Oh, and Danzigsbigestfan138 is a typical Danzig fan – humourless, intense, and incredibly stupid! :)

It was due, this article. Is Danzig STILL acting the hard man? Heck, that’s stupid. He’s now been beaten up around 7 times, by our reckoning. There was the incident where a UK cop knocked him about (Danzig claimed a mob of ‘em hit him, but he was lying – it took just the one). Then Phil Lynott smashed his nose; I saw the black eye that resulted. Viv Campbell, a bouncer, a record store owner, the fat hardcore thug in this article, and even a Baptist Minister aged 60, have since decked Danzig. Clearly, he is a weak little man with a complex about his short stature. He should grow up. His music’s dreadful anyway, and his lyrics are literally retarded! The journalist is correct – Danzig has been ruined by these beatings.
Danzig, you were BEATEN UP. Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craw!! Bwahahahaha.
Mr. Helpful should take the dick out of his mouth and put it back into Biscuit mans ass.
Its getin worse why do you poeple keep on bein nastie abuot Glen look? hes the gratest Ive had enoff of ya all sayin hes week hes tuogh as shit stop makin him misreble GLEN RUELS sayin hes got beeten up is horable an its gona make him misreble sstop sayin he got beeten up he didnet that fat bloak dident beet him up STYOP IT STOP IT STOP NIT YOUEL MAKE GLEN SAD AN THATS CRULE!!

For goodness’ sake, this is crazy. Just read ‘Danzigsbigestfan135′ for proof – the guy has only morons for fans! Danzig was beaten up loads of times, and neither he nor his fans can accept it. HE WAS BEATEN UP! Accept that he is weak, will you? He is probably very depressed at being shown up as a useless fighter, but so what? It’s a fairly big planet, and there are better things on it than a sad, midget pop star who can’t sing or fight. Get a life, you prats!

This is funny, becaue I once beat the shit out of Glenn Danzig. I was a student, but vacationing in Newport (US) where I worked as a bouncer at the Jockey Club. Danzig was on the bill, and he was a jerk, acting hard and arrogant, as well as greasy and a bit dumb. Eventually, after hassling the audience (!), he came at me threateningly at stage-front. I smashed him on the nose, then punched him in the side of the head. He made a real fuss, screaming and crying, and he slumped against the stage. He later fell back on the screens as the rest of his band stood looking shocked. He fuckin’ started shit, and I ended it. He had to be treated for a black eye, but the cops wern’t interested! I’ve never told this story in print before; maybe I should write to Crawdaddy?

That’s Danzig’s fans for you – brainless copyists. :) Never mind. I’m sure Danzig himself learned a lesson when I beat him down. He certainly didn’t give me any hassle after the beating. :)
Ha ha, Danzig has been beaten up by loads of people over the years. He’s a wimp.
Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craww!
One of the best things about beating that dwarf up was that a glamorous blonde girl came up to me afterwards, said thanks to me “for knocking out that fuckin’ jerk!”, and gave me a kiss. Well, a bit more ‘n just a kiss, actually. All because I punched a faded jerk rock star senseless. :)
Hey, I remember that, dude! Danzig gettin’ beat up by a bouncer at the Jockey Club, I mean. I wasn’t there, but it was in the papers. That was in Misfits days, I’ll be bound. And Danzig was given a real shiner. They said he covered it in meat, but it wouldn’t go down. Ha ha ha. That bouncer was you? Hey, well done, man. That lame-ass midget deserved a poundin’. You the man!
peter jurgle yore rong, so rong ya never beated up glen you never never it aent fukin true stiop tryimg to make glen dapressd with ya nastie stuff abuot him gettin beated up ITS NOT TROUE meybe you was a bounser I dono but ya coldnt of beated up glen fukin stop makin him mistrebel GLEN RULSE!!
Peter Jergle, no one gives a shit what you’ve got to say. I don’t care if Danzig is a pussy, he’s one of the greatest fucking musical influences of all time.
In fact, before I hit him, Danzig was singing pretty badly. At least when I beat him up I enabled him to scream loudly! :) And he cried. Oh yes…
The only thing Peter Jurgle hit was a crack pipe while getting pounded from behind from his HIV+ boyfriend.
When I punched Danzig, his nose bled evrywhere, and he started crying immediately. A local woman seduced me, so impressed was she that I’d smacked the midget around. He had an advanced and horrifying black eye, and left the venue a broken, depressed little dwarf. It was a LUXURY to break his nose, and I ruined his career. He was later beaten up by one of Def Leppard too, and he is laughed at worldwide. You sad little fans have no lives. I’m a man who enjoys great sex with great ladies, all of whom regard Danzig as an ugly little jerk with fuckin’ bad breath! :)
so fucking what,that guy wasn’t the same size as him?! he’s a huge fatass.. and He may be arrogant,but he ISN’T stupid. And HELLO, he’s an italian from JERSEY… so I expect him to be an asshole. But I can’t say that he is, because I’ve never met him. But the truth is, he writes some amazing songs and his voice is brilliant… ad let’s face it, he is one of the most gorgeous men I’ve ever layed eyes on. I highly doubt any of you could ever even compare,so Peter and the rest of the haters..can suck it. haha. I don’t know you, never heard your name being screamed by thousands in an arena,said on the radio,on televison.. your songs have never been up for greatest hard rock songs of all time, you aren’t a part of a legendary band [the misfits] that everyone knows..you aren’t shit! woot.
Listen you loud mouth son of a bitch ..if danzig is such a pussy say this shit to his face…who cares he’s a fucking human being everyone has a bad day not to mention he fucking 53 now and that fat ass was younger anyway..ill fucking beat the shit out of you and that fat motherfucker ..as for saying his fans are brainless..you got another thing coming shit stick…its the internet you can talk as much shit as you want to..the day you show up at my door like a real man..will be the fucking day you get your ass beat
oh yeah maybe ill record that shit to and put it on youtube..and make a big deal about because i dont have a fucking life..but no i really dont wanna be like you..its just to sad
fukin lisen to the man petre jergel rodny got it rihgt danzigs fukin the tuoghast man in metle an you nevre beaten him up cos he done marshell arts glenn rules!
Aren’t you a moron? You buy into Danzig’s childish ‘evil’ image? Pathetic. Danzig got beaten up fairly, for a fight he started. He was beaten up by Phil Lynott too, and one of Def Leppard. The guy is weak as a wet biscuit (oh yes, Fred Durst thinks he’s a pretentious wimp too!). Are you relly stoopid enough to believe he was worried about being sued? You fool. He could’ve been sued for the shove alone, but the NSK guy decided to go for swift punishment. Good for him. You and Danzig’s other fanboys are truly sad and nerdish.
Glenn Danzig was beaten up. Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craw!! :)
well he may have started the fight but how many fights have you been in biscuit boy you are more than likly a fatass that talks shit and I bet glen might have fucked your mom or girlfriend lets face it a fight is a fight win or lose just having balls to stand up for what a man thinks is right whether it is wrong you slam the man like you wish you could kick his ass well you must think your the juggernaunt bitch
Er, have you ever heard of punctuation? Your sentence sounds breathless (and very stoopid! :). How could Danzig have done anything with any female close to me? The man looks gay as fuck, and has NEVER had a girlfriend. No, he was beaten up by more musicians and bouncers than any other rock star, and is a joke, beaten up, beaten up, BEATEN UP. Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craw! Hahahahaha! :)
getting beat down does not make you weak just that more hard, life is hard shit happens Danzig is still a badass ok he did not see that play out to good but I bet that will not happen again with him evil in him was to relaxed that night and I bet that he is thinhing he should have punched him instead of shoving so glen if you read this just know with your life is at I would shove that man as well because if you did hit him that man would sue and you know that too
this guy talks a lot of shit. danny just happened to get in an “ok” hit. he didnt “kick his ass” he didnt even mean to. if you look at the video his hit doesnt even connect nearly as much as it throws danny off balance. not to mention the fact that he turned his head when he hit, he wasnt even looking at his target, pure accident. you can consider Danzig a wimp, but its easy to say when your behind a computer. In the end danny is still in a “hardcore” band barely paying the bills, he had his 15 seconds of fame. danzig on the other hand danzig will continue to be a success in the music industry. sorry i just can’t stand NSK’s lack of talent and bland lyrics.
You sad fans should have therapy.
“Ok, I accept that Danzig got beaten up, and is weak! Now let me go.”
Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craw! Bwahahahaha!
Your article fucking sucks. It’s your own fault you were so enamored by the man’s image all these years that you were so shocked at what happened… So what? He’s in his 50’s, he got hit, so what? Doesn’t change the fact that he’s made amazing music for almost 3 decades. He’s a musician, it’s not our fault you are a hero-worshipping fan boy looking for something to believe in.
Danzig deserves every last shitty piece of the misery that is now his. He’s a cowardly, talentless little creep who likes rape, yet is gay. He was beaten up by loads of nasty, tough men, and Crawdaddy hates him. Hope he commits suicide, the pathetic, tragic LOSER!
I don’t know about not having new fans. I started listening to Danzig somewhere around late ‘05 early ‘06 and I love his work. That ridiculous spat doesn’t change anything for me.
Hey, Michelle, you must be a proud feminist. I mean, look at Danzig’s great lyrics – “I got somethin’ to say – I raped your mom yesterday – An’ I don’t care…” Hey, sister, be proud. The beating of Danzig bypassed you because you don’t care either.
Stop being weak-minded, huh? Pathetic.
yueh well fuk ya cos danzig glenns grate an he touhg stopp slageing him off an makin him misrable it ainet right cos glenn is an heroe
Umm,biscuit man.. don’t talk about the way people type when you’re spelling stupid ’stoopid’.. But seriously, say all you want about him you’re just making him more famous! And he’s still greater than you. because like ‘Devil in the making says’ “HE HAS BALLS ENOUGH TO STAND UP FOR HIMSELF AND WHAT HE BELIEVES” and if he has gotten ‘beaten up’ as much as you all say, he still remains EXACTLY the same man he was BEFORE he got into these ‘fights’.. so it seems like you didn’t do TOO much damage..hahahahaha!! Jackasses.
Sorry, a weak try. ‘Stoopid’ is an American-style distortion, and I like it. It suits you really well. :)
An even weaker attempt to protect Glum “Rape is cool” Dwarfpig. The guy hasn’t recorded any metal in YEARS, because he’s depressed and scared after all these beatings. When you’ve fostered a ‘hard man’ image, yet you’ve been beaten fat-headed by a Def Lep man, you’re finished. Dwarfpig’s smashing at the hands of the fat thug in that video has humiliated him terminally. He’s desperate to clear the internet of that video, but is failing. BEATEN UP!! Hahahahaha! Take that, you weedy rape-fan.
Danzig’s a joke, but a funny one to laugh at. Hey, he’s given us all great entertainment, via making a real, first class fool of himself. Thanks, man!
I think Danzig should reinvent himself as a whiny aging emo-rocker. ‘Cause after getting his ass kicked, KNOCKED OUT in one punch? The whole brooding tough-guy image he’s taken great pains to construct over the past 30 years (one assumes as a way to fake people out or scare them; a disguise to scare away the big scawy people who constantly kick the shit out of him) is now hopelessly destroyed.
You know what it is? Short-guy syndrome. He’s got a Napoleon complesx cause he’s a midget, so he constructs this power-fantasy image, gets riddled with steroids, and finally, like Napoleon, gets his ass beat so bad he has to spend the rest of his miserable life in exhile. What a douchebag.
yore all bein narsty to danzig agein why hes? a grate musicern and singer and he writes grate songs and hes evil and sexie and I loves him beter than enyone else stop tryimg to rewin his carear ok hes not goina go eway jsut cos you seys he got beated up I dont belive him got beated up they jelouse cos hes touhg lokkin and can kikc enyones asse that fat bloak form nortside kins just punched him with a bladce thann run eway stop it stop it yore makin glenn misserable!!
I get the feeling that the people who talk shit about Glenn Danzig and how much of a pussy he is because he got (rightfully) punched by somebody have probably never been in an actual fight themselves.
Hi. I’m John Sargent, a Baptist Minister. Although I’m American, I’m based in Germany. A few years ago, I was forced to hit this man, Mr Danzig. I’ve never told this story at length, but, for what it is worth, this is what happened.
I was visiting San Francisco with my wife and her sister. A bus/coach drew up by us, and a man with long hair asked directions to a club. (He was standing inside the open doorway.) He said he was playing there. My sister-in-law began to explain that we weren’t local, but the greasy-haired guy began swearing at us. We asked him to stop, but he threatened us. As I was with two ladies, I realized I would probably have to hit the man. I proceeded to punch his nose with a right belter, and offset it with a right hook. He fell back, screaming, his nose blooded, and fell down. The coach took off! I was left with the mna’s blood on my (slightly bruised) right hand.
The man I had punched turned out to be Glenn Danzig, a singer of Heavy Metal, of whom I had not heard. He was seen at a local hospital, crying by some accounts, and his show was cancelled.
I simply reacted to his aggression, and knocked him out. In the army, I boxed, and I’m 6′ tall. The beaten up man should never have sworn at us.
Have you seen the footage of Danzig falling off the stage at Ramshead in Baltimore? Almost as funny! MOTHER!!
Danzig DESERVED to be beaten up. I’m not a man of violence, but he swore at a woman. I’m 6′, and quite strong, so punching a man as short as Danzig gave me no pleasure, but he learned his lesson there. He had it coming.
You all dislike him so much you SEARCHED his name on the internet D this story, AND commented on it,SEVERAL times. You’re soooo cool. [=
fuckin no yer horrable baptiste minester why you got go an beet up Glenn it? aint right an nastie for ya you sposed to be a preest!
Ms Krueg,
Maybe it’s time you started to grow up a bit. You know, be mature and adult. Because it seems to me that Danzig is unpopular because of his pathetic misogyny. You’re a femle (apparently), and you’re happy to worship an inadequate little man who hates women violently; who fantasises about dead little girls’ skulls; who hits women at gigs; who sings that rape is somehow cool; and who probably is a closet gay.
Either way, you come across as foolish and weak. Address it.
Danzig’sbiggestfan138 (or however you want to mis-spell it!) -
I beat Mr Danzig up because he has no manners towards women. He insulted my wife’s sister, so I HAD to assault him. I would assault him again.
Get a spell-checker!
First off, you say Glenn has no new fans? Have you been to any of his shows the past few years? There are people ranging in age from 12-60! Where the hell do you get off insulting someone who has had a 30 year career in music and who is still performing to packed venues well into his 50s?! So he got punched, who the hell cares? Anyone can get punched and fall down when they don’t see it coming. So what if he can be an ass in person. He’s a brilliant musician and songwriter and The Misfits, Samhain and Danzig will live on and continue to bring in new metal fans!
To say Danzig is talentless is pathetic. To vilify and fail to comprehend his sexual tastes (misogyny?!) is laughable and a typical leftist knee jerk reaction. A woman who likes to be dominated by a man is what? A victim?! Small minded bufoons rule the world so these comments are not to be taken partiularly seriously or without a good dose of humour.
To those who just like listening to the music and understand the message within, Danzig is still king…
Sid, you’re laughable. It’s obvious to most women that Danzig is confused re. his sexuality. He’s a small man who COULDN’T dominate anyone. It’s not that he seems to keep getting beaten up – it’s that he seems to have a Napoleon complex. You’re a right-wing reactionary, but so what? It’s a big world out there.
This article is the biggest piece of bullshit I have ever read. Right on the video he stands up, so he couldn’t have been knocked out. He is also an old man at this point, almost 50 years old. So, your hero wasn’t a bad ass, or at least he couldn’t beat up a man three times his size. Quit crying. None of those gun-toting, shit-talking rappers are bad asses either. They’re all just entertainers, vocal artists, jackass. Do you like the music/style/image or not? Go fuck yourself. I bet Danzig would kick the shit out of you, Greene. And “John Sargent,” you’re a lying piece of shit just like every other christian the world has bred. Go fuck yourself, too! I’d like a chance to kick the shit out of you. What kind of minister punches someone only for talking shit, then brags about it, anyway, you fucking hypocrite? What happened to “turn the other cheek” and all of your other biblical bullshit. Perhaps this person – whom I am sure was not Danzig if it was even true such an altercation took place – was cursing at those ladies because they were stupid whores who had it coming, just like any slut who would cruise around with some evil, brawling minister. Christians are a plague on this world and should be exterminated. No other group has shed nearly as much blood as these fucking corporate christo-fascist republican nazis! Certainly, none of you christians have any concept of the teachings of Jesus Christ, you fucking warmongering, blood-craving, blood-shedding vampires, keeping people in poverty and ignorance, so they will drop money in your baskets. Rot in hell, you pent-up closet homosexuals! My apologies to decent homosexuals who share their sexual orientations with these self-hating losers. Note: I only use the term “homosexual” as it pertains to its scientific meaning and not in a derogatory manner.
Not really a right wing reactionary, Mandy, merely someone passing comment. D’oh.
Danzig’s height means he couldn’t dominate any woman that was his submissive?! Mwahahaha! Your lack of comprehension is typical of a mundane 21st century woman. I’m sorry if I’m being presumptious but then who wants to hear a woman’s opinion anyway? :P
Why scrutinise Danzig to that level? The music speaks volumes in comparisson to the ridiculous tabloid (read as fucktard) obsession with his image. Napoleon complex? Danzig getting punched out? Danzig being gay? Nigguh, please…
(the author of said post would like to hereby state NOW that he’s 6′ tall, has a gurt big cock, only likes the first 4 Danzig albums and does indeed enjoys slapping women about consensually as often as he can…)
Ha ha, nice one, Sid. We all know that men who say they”re well-endowed are actually minuscule. You’re prolly a 40-year-old virgin.
But hey, I don’t care. :)
Ha ha ha ha ha. This gets funnier. Danzig’s fans are getting desperate now, and trying to limit the damage to the dwarfish freak’s reputation. I mean, beaten up by a Baptist Minister as well? Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craaaaaaaaawwwww!! :)
Whoever the “minister” is is clearly lying. Come on, how would a minister even come across this site. It’s just some idiot trying to stir us all up (and it’s working LOL). And Mandy, if you didn’t care you wouldn’t be on here posting comments. By the way, have you ever even listened to Danzig’s music. What do you find offense? And I’m talking Danzig not Misfits from the 1970s (b/c I have a feeling the only lyric you can come up with is Last Caress and if you quote that you clearly don’t get the Misfits’ humor)
This is John Sargent in Germany, again. Just let me clear up a few points. As ‘Girl’ states, it is unlikely that a Baptist Minister would seek out this site. It was pointed out to me by a young lady who knew I’d had an altercation involving Mr Danzig. As the story has been mentioned on the internet before, I decided this was a good forum to explain what took place, plus my reasons for punching Mr Danzig. The poster with the racist name is not worth answering, but ‘Girl’ seems more considered and intelligent.
Mr Danzig, with whom I was completely unfamiliar, demanded directions loudly, rudely and aggressively. When I hit him, he was coming toward me, giving violent threats, rapidly. I could see he was a very small man indeed, and I’m 6-feet tall, so the outcome was inevitable – a fact that seemingly bypassed Mr Danzig. I was a boxer in the Army, so all I had to employ was a swift punch to the nose, followed by a right-belter to the man’s mouth. These punches disabled and punished the singer, and sent him reeling backward onto his tour-bus. His screams were truly awful. The driver immediately took off – the door was still open, even – and so the confontation was brief.
A moment later we were informed that the man had been Glenn Danzig, and we later found that he was due to play at a local club. That date was cancelled, possibly due to the fracas. Years later I was told that he had sustained a black eye, and was not able to perform with the required vigor.
That is what happened. I am neither proud nor pleased by the event, but it bears repeating first-hand.
I’ve seen that dude from Northside Kings around Arizona, and he’s huge! No wonder he beat Danzigso badly. I wouldn’t wanna tangle with him.
fuckin wot yer sayin yer beated up Glenn for ya barsted yore a fuckin preest why get violint to Glenn its horrable wot ya did to him did ya give him a black eye that aint rihgt Glenn be touhg and a rele man youve rewined his carreer ya basterd stop it stop it stop it all you crual men who hit Glenn leav him alone an dont rewin his career no more GLENN RULSE!
THis is the first time I’ve commented on this, as it’s such an easy thing to take the piss out of! Danzig reminds me of the unpopular kid at school who is always starting fights, getting beaten up, and having the mickey taken. It’s pathetic for a man of 50 to be acting tough, yet losing. Get a life, little fellow!
Damn you, Danzig, you pretentious little buffoon. At high school, you were a nerd who got punched out every day, and you’re just as bad as an adult. Why can’t these bouncers, etc., beat some sense into your fat, ugly head? I once kicked your fat ass too, a while after you left high school, and you were a fucking doddle to beat. Fuck you!
Fuckin wot angry man ya never beated up Glenn hes touhg an the best metler sinse Matallicca fuckin leave off Glenn I loves him an his albems an I met him an hes a graet bloak if ya dont liek his music doent lissen to it an if ya doant like him yar stuepid see Glenn is fuckin intelecteul and I loves his lirics stop it stop it sop it stop makibn Glenn misrable! youre rewinin his carrear ya cruwel BASTERS leave Glenn aloan if he wont ta look touhg whore you to critecice him Im gonne fuckin saye it agein LEAV OFF GLENN STOP MAKIN HIM MISREBLE HE IONLY WONT TO MAKE GOOD MUSICS SO STOP SAYIN YER BEATED HIM UP YA NEVRE DID BEATED HIM UP HES TOUHG

STOP CRITERSISING DANZIF AN REWININ HIS!! CAREAR GLENN RULSE!”
Hey asshole. I think Glenn would beg to differ that his music is only for men. Plenty of women understand and respect his music. In case you haven’t noticed, with being his biggest fan and all, a lot of his music is geared more towards women. It’s very sexual. What? You think he’s trying to turn your ass on with his music? No, it’s for us. Idiot.
Ok, you addressed a message to that illiterate fan of Mr Dwarfpig, but I think you’re secretly a bloke anyway! :) We all know the inadequate midget can only fight women, but he also has a very gay image.Y’know, he’s trying too hard to be masculine, but falls flat (especially with all the beatings he gets!). See you, mate. Bwahahahaha.
Oh, this is TOO funny. Just discovered that a former member of wimp Danzig’s band got beaten up by a country singer today. No, really. Jerry Montano, a fat little dude with numerous tattoos, was slugged by John Rich, from Big (a C it says here), and his nose was broken. Too amusing. Even being in Danzig’s useless band leaves you weak and bad at fighting. I hope this incident further humiliates and depresses Danzig, and that he commits suicide soon. Now THAT would be the funniest thing.
Typo. – “John Rich from Big a C..”
Anyway, all I must add is – Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, CRAW!! :)
Girl, you are an idiot. Not because you choose to listen to poorly-played and -written music, but because you can’t understand why no one else likes the same garbage. As a woman, I resent Danzig’s lyrics which promote rape and pedophilia (Skulls is pathetic). Just because he has no musical talent, he resorts to ’shocking’ lyrics. Those lyrics are just shockingly bad, but they appeal to retards like yourself. As someone else said, you’re a weak person, looking up to a very short, ugly man. Get a life, will you?
First off Mandy, maybe you take offense to Danzig’s lyrics and that’s your right as a fellow feminist but perhaps you should watch other words you use, such as retard, as many people, myself included, find that word extremely offensive. I don’t believe I ever said I didn’t understand why other people don’t like Danzig (or the Misfits as you keep referring to). I simply said that just because a 50 year old man gets punched does not negate the years of great music he has put out. You don’t have to like it or listen to it. But as a feminist myself I have to ask you, do you watch horror movies or shows like Cops or Gossip Girl, etc.? Maybe you don’t but my point is The Misfits was basically a horror punk band who paid homage to the old horror movies. It appeals to the dark side of life, doesn’t necessarily promote it-same as horror movies, same as a show like Gossip Girl appeals to the seedier side of adolescence. Why am I weak because I don’t think life is all sun and roses? Because I like a man with a beautiful, powerful voice and an ability to write in a beautiful way about sex, death and hell-all of which are a part of life. So might I suggest that I have a life but it seems to be since you hate him so much perhaps you should get off this board and get your own life. I’m simply defending mine.
Oh and Biscuit Man, I really think you’re on here to just piss all Danzig fans off and that’s fine b/c the banter is pretty fun though I’m dead serious in my defense of Danzig. I assure you I am a woman and having gone to numerous Danzig shows can promise there are plenty of women who love his music and understand it.
Haha danzig stood up direct and toke that punch like a man not like that fat beach would
this is yesterdays news and it keeps just going on and on.. On one side we have the ones who still buy the mans records and dont care about if he has been beaten down ..on the other side is the ones who just wanted it too happen and dont like him..So why argue? Nobody wins in this discussion. Its like beating a dead horse.. Danzigs legacy will live on either way hes been beaten or not!
Interesting. I myself once beat Danzig up (or down, whichever). I was a bouncer at the time. The guy was smoking in a restricted area after a gig (his voice is shit, by the way!). I asked him to stop smoking near the kerosene store (heating, etc), and he swore at me. I asked him again, he inhaled his Marlborough, and blew it in my face. This was a horribly homosexual act, and I proceeded to punch him to the ground. He made a stupid fuss, screaming and bawling. I only hit him twice, too! Wimp. He left with a prize black eye, swearing vengeance, but, surprise, I never heard from him again. This was in ‘92, or near then. (Typos corrected.)
Danzig doesn’t smoke; in fact he’s notoriously anti-smoking at his gigs. You got the wrong guy, idiot.
This was many years ago, dude. I assure you it was Danzig, and he was certainly smoking. (My hand was smoking too, after decking him!)
Just caught the DANZIG show in Denver. The Blackest of Black tour. The man’s 53 and still fucking rocks. He played all his old tunes from Danzig 1,2,3,and a couple from 4.He completly rocked the Fillmore. 7000+ dedicated fans on their feet. Good job Glenn!
You mean the Blackest of the Eye tour! The tour that’ll be cancelled when Dwarfpig gets beaten up by a support-band singer or a bouncer. Ha ha.
Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawwww! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!
At High School, Glenn Danzig was unpopular, and got bullied a lot. Not just jocks beat at him, but relatively nerdy guys too. Girls hated him, finding him creepy and a greaseball. Seeing this video, am not surprised that fat thug beat him up. Nothing’s changed, and Danzig hasn’t grown any taller or more intelligent!
People are saying Danzig’s not capable of recording metal any more. They say he’s too depressed after all those beatings, especially the filmed one. It must be humiliating BEYOND BELIEF to know that millions of people have watched you being beaten up by a fat thug. YouTube is chock-full of images of that distressing beating. Danzig must be ‘wild with all regrets’, because he didn’t need to get beaten up. If he’d reasoned with that fat thug, he’d never have been punched, let alone knocked senseless. He would’ve been spared the revolting black eye and fat lip he apparently received. He could’ve continued making his dumb metal records. But no. Beaten up incredibly badly by that fat thug, he can no longer perform at all. His shows now are a shambles. He literally shambles onstage, looking like a sweaty hobo, and puffs his way weakly through songs that detail his own, ha, toughness. HOW DEPRESSING THAT HE HAS BEEN RUINED! Hahahahaha!
Excellent, excellent article. Despite Glenn’s prodigious talent (was there a single better punk rock vocalist in his generation than he was with the Misfits?), the Danzig act went from being dark, heavy and brooding to being comical and vaguely homoerotic practically overnight. Yet, the guy still refused to have any sense of humor about himself at all – quite the opposite. Excellent, excellent article. I’d post my own blog memories of Danzig acting like a doofus, but sadly, they aren’t nearly as well written :(
Ugh… man, I know what James Greene Is talking about. I, too, once believed that Glenn Danzig was a walking maelstrom of pure ruinous violence. I, too, watched that video with a sinking heart, thinking: the end of an era. Truthfully, I hadn’t given any though to whether or not Danzig was a super badass in well over a decade… I just don’t care about those kind of things so much anymore. But I guess the idea that Glenn Danzig was a cauldron of boiling, brutal punishment to all those that dared to fuck with him was still intact somewhere in the back of my mind. Glenn Danzig has made it fundamental to his career to represent himself as one hell of a powerful fighter, capable of enormous viciousness and fury. Its never been center stage, but he hints at it too often to dismiss.
Frankly, even if I retained my old time worship of his supposed physical prowess, I’d still expect that in the *many fights* that my *imagination* attributed to his lifestyle, he’d get his clock cleaned here and there. I mean, I’d always known that he was pretty short, that alone could get him flattened, even if he was a superdude.
And who cares about ass kickings that happened to him in high school… that shouldn’t even be part of the record… he was a kid.
Now, maybe he never gets in fights, and the only ones he’s gotten in are these ones we hear of… where he’s been soundly whacked and sent reeling and crying without any retaliation. A lot of these posters sound like that’s what they’re claiming to know explicitly, that hes got one story and thats being a pompous, whining punching bag for the righteous fists of extremely reasonable and humble men, but I doubt this is the case.
Anyway, here’s the verdict of someone who has genuinely appreciated this guy’s older music and style, if not his misogynistic bullshit, yet who’s also always seen that he is a posturing blowhard who boasts way the fuck too much:
I don’t think it matters that he gets clocked every now and then. That’s certainly what happens when you act like an asshole, but it doesn’t mean your music sucks, or that you’re some kind of whining weakling. If anything, taking a beating is pretty tough – I always laugh at those big guys who’ve never had even one humiliating beating in their adult life… they have no idea how much it sucks and I doubt they’d swagger as much afterward if they did. It does however mean that he’s gotten what he deserved. Talking like he does is just an invitation to get assaulted, repeatedly. And in the modern age, of course if someone happens to be taking video when you go down, its going to get online, and when your hypothetical glory days of ass kicking were before digital video was invented, well there’s nothing to say you ever atomized people’s faces with your merciless fists of death.
Anyway, Glenn, get over yourself. I’d have carried my respect for you along with me over the years if I’d seen you evolve past the relentless testosterone and just become something broader and wiser.
And all you assholes gloating about his public humiliations, you suck too, or you wouldn’t be enjoying this so much, or even caring. Every one of you dicks crowing about having slugged the crap out of him, or gleefully reporting of someone who has, you don’t sound awesome. You just sound resentful, and like you’d be willing to hurt someone over that resentment. I’ve never heard anything about Glenn Danzig raping anyone’s little sister or stealing someone’s grandma’s life savings… point being? Unless Glenn Danzing ACTUALLY deserves getting the shit kicked out of him, then you all are just bragging about what thugs you’ve been… please shut the fuck up about it.
Plus, I’ve often wondered if he didn’t set this whole thing up just to get young brawlers with chips on their shoulders to stop:
A) idolizing him ridiculously
B) coming at him constantly looking to prove themselves against him
I have no evidence for that, but it would sure makes sense to do that… he probably gets challenged incessantly and it probably just gets old, if nothing else.
The comment by Old School Misfits Fan made good reading, and made me (for one) laugh. My only response is that it’s not surprising so many people are rubbernecking / enjoying this bad publicity. Dwarfpig may not have raped anyone’s little sister, but he’s certainly written lyrics (if you can call ‘em lyrics!) which promote that kind of thing. A misogynist, yes, but worse – a fantasist who sees killing little girls as cool, and who thinks rape is ‘hard’. It’s hard to credit him as a man of 50+, so weak and unintelligent is his stance. And don’t get me started on his conduct at gigs. He’s been known to kick faces in the front row, then hide behind security. And he only ever hits women or boys aged 12 ’successfully’. He’s LOST EVERY SINGLE FIGHT AGAINST AN ADULT MALE that he’s had the stupidity to start. We all remember the reports of his pasting from Viv Campbell in ‘93. Oh yes, he’d insulted the guy’s wife. A pattern? Yes, and a pathetic one. The beating from the NSK thug was inevitable. And those bouncers and ministers (!) were also right to beat him unconscious. Danzig ought to do the decent thing, and commit suicide. Let his sad fans mourn his useless life, and the rest of us find someone else to jeer at.
Altogether now… “Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craaaaawwwww!” Bwahahahaha.
Roll up! Roll up! Email the fanboy! Email the mega-fan who thinks Dwarfpig’s lyrics aren’t nerdy/creepy/pro-rape! Roll up! Form an orderly queue! Email the Dwarfpig-worshipper who can’t accept that he was beaten up by one of Def Leppard, as well as that fat thug! Try to show him the obvious truth that Dwarfpig invented ALL his martial arts qualifications! Tell the poor guy that the Martial Arts Council publicly distanced itself from Dwarfpig after he was beaten up on video!
What’s that? You can’t be arsed? Er, neither can I. :)
PS Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww! Bwahahahaha!
I have browsed through some of these comments and find them absolutely ignorant and pathetic,there are no promotions of rape and peadophilia in glenn’s lyrics as has been ridiculously misinterpreted.On the subject of that attack,yes glenn initiated it but anyone who knows about fighting cannot say that is an example of a “clean punch” laughable attempt,no technique at all.Glenn is a student of jeet kune do and is not bad by all accounts,having a fat idiot take a lunge at him does not constitute as an embarrassment,you guys are idiots!Email me if u disagree,i would be glad to discuss
Ha,like anyone is going to take orders from a semi-illiterate dog fucker like you!So according to your thesis,those who best those in hand to hand combat are deemed a better person,this just in barak obama is being replaced as president by brock lesnar!martial arts council!!??doesnt even exist you LIAR!you are exactly the type of feeble minded moron i was talking about!!I cant believe im wasting my time on a cowfucker like you!lol
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BlBcD8qqGT8
Oh dear. Poor, poor Uncle Ray. Let me correct his (semi-literate) rant, eliminating the errors in his spelling, punctuation, and grammar. His piece should read:
“Ha, like anyone is going to take orders from a semi-literate dog-fucker like you! So, according to your thesis, those who beat others in hand-to-hand combat are deemed to be better people. This is just like saying Barak Obama is being replaced as President by Brock Lesnar. Martial Arts Council!? It doesn’t even exist, you LIAR! You are exactly the type of feeble-minded moron I was talking about. I can’t believe I’m wasting my time on a cow-fucker like you! Lol!”
There, Ray. Unlike you, I can use English well. But don’t worry: I’m not charging you for the proof-reading service. :)
And again – Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, CRAW! Bwahahahaha.
This happened 4 years ago who cares. And if you actually pay attention in the video yeah he gets hit. but its like a glancing hit. you can see Glenn like turning kind of away from the punch and goes down to a knee and you can still clearly hear Glenn yelling at the guy. He never gets knocked out or put on his back. I have heard Glenn make a statement about this incident and he chose not to fight back do to legal reasons. Believe what you want most Danzig fans dont care. Glenn used to take punches and kicks to the face on purpose. Glenn is also trained in Jeet Kun Do so if he really, really wanted to that night he could have fought back and probably put fatboy on his back. It hasnt changed my opinion on glenn Danzig at all anyone can throw a punch.
This is hilarious, man. Danzig claims to be a black belt at karate, but he got beaten up by one of Def Leppard! Then this happens – the guy gets slugged by a fat bouncer, and his career finally bites the dust. No wonder he’d depressed. This footage has been seen by millions. Hahahahaha!
It’s always funny to watch non-fighters discuss fighting. Listen folks, *anyone* can get knocked out in any given confrontation, and those who assume that a guy is a wimp because someone managed to hit him on the button is simply showing their naiveté. I’m not sticking up for Danzig here; he deserved what he got. It just cracks me up that so many people feel this confirms that he ain’t tough.
Anyhow, here’s a link to a response from Danny (the guy who knocked Danzig out):
“He should know being from NJ – you lay your hands on someone, you better expect to get hit. I got a good lucky jab that shut him down. if I didn’t, I am not so sure I would have been able to go the distance with him. But I was real fucking mad, and I forgot to take my blood pressure medicine that morning….”

So even the guy in question admits that he did in fact knock him the f*ck out, but still definitely thinks Danzig is no slouch.
Jeez, watch a little UFC and you’ll see some of the toughest men on the planet get knocked out. Guess they’re all pussies too, huh?
A lot of MMA Fighter’s point was basically what I was trying to say. Also, Biscuit Man, its nice to have such a discriminate poster appreciate my words, but when I was asking for people to please shut the fuck up, I was mainly referring to you.
OSM-F,
Certainly I’d shut the fuck up if it made you happy. However, this is a fantastic event (the total humiliation and ruination of Danzig), and it’s too good an opportunity to miss. Y’know, the whole online world can now watch a pathetically transparent misogynist, with obvious sexual doubts, and who can only fight women and boys aged 12, getting beaten into submission. That is priceless. I don’t like Northside Kings, and regard their frontman as a fat thug. However, the service he has done the world is a major one. Since that beating, Dwarfpig has not recorded a single song about his love of rape and abuse of kids. He is ruined, broken, nullified. Good.
And, er, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww!! Bwahahahah.
Biscuit man is a cock sucking faggot. Who needs his fucking ass kicked. But why should anybody bother? He takes it up the ass and is a self proclaimed pussy. I got money on that 50+ year old Danzig beating your fucking ass DOWN then pissing on your fucking grave.
Fuck YOU and FUCK Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy FUCK Crawdaddy AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
Biscuit Man, did you have a peek at the Crawdaddy homepage today? Seems like others at Crawdaddy don’t agree with you:
http://crawdaddy.wolfgangsvault.com/Article.aspx?id=10716
And honestly, just how old are you? You’ve never been hit in your life, have you? I’m certain that’s because you actually only have the sand to talk like this to people over the safety of the Internet. We’re all impressed with your obsession with Danzig. He bang your girlfriend or something?
So, got anything new to add, or are you just going to keep parroting your Danzig dissing? Polly wanna Biscuit?
We always knew that Danzig’s inadequacy was mirrored by his male fans. :)
All I know is that Danzig can’t fight. When I beat him down, I was really young, and was doing security in the school vacation. When I hit him, he actually cried, so you guys who think he’s tough are just thinking what you wanna think. The truth is that he’s a fake. I mean look at the number of times he’s gotten punched since then! I made his nose bleed, sure, but that was with just one punch. The other blackened his eye, but why did he have to cry? Weak, if you ask me.
wot yer doin now sayin Glenn got beated up it aient right Glenn has done marshal arts like tiekwando and karaet so how canyer say him got beated up an I has met Glenn ancd hes fed up off poeple sayin hes gopt beated up he denyes hes ever got beated up an I beives him cos look at his mussels you basters says hes fat he ainet fat hes touhg an musceler also his musics gota be the best metle sinse Matalicer?

Danzigsbigestfan138 is actually Biscuit Man of one of his buddies, folks. Just in case that wasn’t obvious.
oops. “or”

??
lol you suck
Let’s fight, fuck satan fuck u, let’s just fight bitch. Join the UFC $ stick up 4 ur self
This is all getting very nasty. On the one hand we have fanatics like Ray, Old School Misfits Fan, Girl, and the amusing Danzigbigestfan138; on the other, we have those who like to take the p*** out of Dwarfpig. So where do we find a balance? The answer, sadly, is that we don’t. Dwarfpig will continue making an utter fool of himself until he keels over (again!); his rabid fans will continue grieving over his lost ‘toughness’, and the ruining of his career. And real feminists – female, male, gay, straight – will carry on finding solace in the fact that a nasty little sh** got his comeuppance in front of millions of people. Comeuppance in the shape of a humiliating and depressing beating. Facts, George.
I basically said my piece the first post I made, and I didn’t represent myself as a fanatic… I bashed him as much as defended him. Since then I’m just posting out of curiosity, boredom, and antipathy towards insensitive heckling. I haven’t thought Danzig is great or awesome in well over a decade. I just don’t think anyone deserves to get ridiculed over getting beat up unless they are a bully themselves (there’s no public evidence of any kind of Danzig beating up girls or twelve year olds), and I think that the (in my opinion, large) contribution Danzig has made to punk music and culture in general earns him something better than this type of widespread cruelty and devaluation.
biscuit man (a real feminist?) that explains it all.
Yes, a feminist. A male, heterosexual feminist. Not a contradiction. But please use a bit of wit if you want to take the piss. Calling me ‘gay’ or similar is not going to provoke anything more than a yawn. :)
Old School Misfits Fan – The whole reason for this stance is that Dwarfpig IS a bully. A failed one, of course, but even an attempted bully is loathsome. And he has kicked the faces in the front row of his own fans (a guy I know actually saw this happen in Holland), and he kicked a girl at a London gig. That was reported in the music press, and Dwarfpig did not sue anyone. Ergo, it very probably happened. Add that to his creepy lyrics about killing girls, enjoying rape, and being a ‘killer wolf’ (ha ha ha!), and you can see why he has annoyed so many people (and, worse for himself, caused so many to ridicule him!). His fanboys always call him a ‘bad boy’, or similar; but he’s a FAILED bad boy. There’s nothing rock’n'roll about getting beaten up by Def Lep guitarists, fat thug hardcore singers, or indedd Baptist Ministers. Cruelty? Oh, the irony. Dwarfpig’s stance is all about cruelty and violence, but he can’t take the fact that he alone is always the victim of adult males when it comes to beatings. He is a pathetic little man who engenders hatred and contempt, but no sympathy or respect. You’re wasting your apparent intelligence and humanity on a charmless, broken misogynist, OSMF. In my humble opinion, that is. :)
PS And don’t let’s forget – Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawdaddy, Crawwww!
Last I heard Danzig was going to play Wolverinne in X-men 2, you’ve taken Frank Castle as the Punisher away from people now where does it stop. I watched the footage on you tube now that I have time to delve and that guy who posed as the, “Broken Danzig,” could of been anyone. Where is the fat bastard who punched him now? How about a follow up on that with a picture and some kind of proof. Why was there no frontage imagery of the attack, and why no response other then that from people with too much time on their hands? Maybe Danzig got board with the world and now gays out on a deserted island with Tupac because he knew Prop 8 would never pass? I thind something is missing from the picture!
90’s death because no one remembers… you are on drugs or possibly insane
Excuse me but I am not a fanatic, I’m a fan, there’s a difference. And I am as much of a feminist as you are. You have no right to say I’m not just because of a band I like. I don’t read every detail about Glenn’s life but I know his songs and I think it’s lame that the only few songs you can refer to are songs from The Misfits from the 1970s. Like I’ve said before, if you watch horroro movies or crime shows, how is that any different than what Misfits sing about. And anyway, his music has evolved since then. Killer Wolf is not about hurting anyone. Maybe there’s a song on Danzig 6 or 7 I missed but I can’t think of one Danzig song that’s anit woman, anti gay, etc. Just b/c some ignorant fan uses the word “faggot” doesn’t mean he represents all fans. You can be a feminist and still appreciate rap, metal, and of course a cheesy horror punk band like The Misfits who clearly never advocated violence towards anyone anymore than a horror movie does.
yeah but fuckin why you lot who hates Glenn got no simpethy for him or his fans it? ainet rihgt yuou alweys seys he got beated up but that shurely horryfies him an it fuckin horryfies his fans like me an Girl an Ray an all how wuold you liek it if I sed yore faverate rock starr got beated up you be? fuckin horryfied an youd stop byin his records cos youed thinke he was weak wela we fans off Glenn haves to reed all that narsty stuff aboet him getin beated up STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT GLENN RULES!!!
Biscuit man, your a fucking joke. Everyone see’s right through you. Your a fag in every sence of the word. But more then that, you act like a BITCH. A coward bitch. Your so fucking scared that Danzig will find you, kick your teeth in and rape you.That this ranting and raving is played out just like you!! Listen ASS-CLOWN/ biscuit bitch, YOUR A CLOWN AND YOU SHOULD FEED YOURSELF SOME LEAD. The world will be much better off.
Bwahahahaha! Once again, I’ll have to correct an illiterate Dwarfpig fan’s grammar, spelling, etc. The last entry should read:
“Biscuit Man, you’re a fucking joke. Everyone sees right through you. You’re a fag in every sense of the word. But more than that, you act like a BITCH. A cowardly bitch. You’re so fucking scared that Dwarfpig will find you, kick your teeth in, and rape you. That this ranting and raving is played out, just like you!! Listen, ASS-CLOWN/Biscuit Bitch, YOU’RE A CLOWN, AND YOU SHOULD FEED YOURSELF SOME LEAD. The world will be much better off.”
You see? It’s easy, really. Just pay attention to spelling (’sence’? You have none!), punctuation and grammar, and people may stop making fun of you.
It’s sad, very sad, that there are so many inadequate men who lick Dwarfpig’s ass. Little men (in all senses) who cry like babies because their midget-hero got severely beaten up in public, and is now regarded as the laughing-stock of Metal. Weak personalities who can’t accept that the unmusical moron got smashed by one of Def Leppard. Virgins aged 30 who admire rape, because they have literally zero sexual experience. Nerds who are too darn easy to mock.
Well, let ‘em carry on crying. They make the already ruined and depressed Dwarfpig seem even more pathetic. :)
CRAWDADDY, CRAWDADDY, CRAWDADDY, CRAAAAAAAAAAAW! Bwahahahahahaha. Oh, bwahahahahahaha!
wow you all whine like bitches… and did i seriuosly hear someone challenge someone else to a “UFC $” fight over the internet? i got an idea all you assholes definding danzig shut up all you pussies pickin on danzig you shut up too bottom line is where he might be a dick or whatever he is still glen danzig stil an amazing atrist still a huge influance on horror punk and metal today and till you can pull off a career like that or sing like that and till you personally beat his ass shut the hell up hes still awesome and biscuit man GET A FUCKING JOB AND MOVE OUT OF YOUR MOTHERS BASEMENT YOU ARE A FUCKING RETARD EAT SHIT AND DIE AND SATAN CAN FUCK YOUR ASS FOR TALKIN BAD ABOUT DANZIG lol have fun makin fun of this one asshole hey mabye if you got a girlfriend you wouldnt be so anrgy or does little baby just need a cookie and a diaper change? fuck you you inbred fuck you are gayer than aids Danzig kicks fuckin ass ! WOOOOOOO john denny youre chill atleast you actually hit him but hes still more badass then youll ever be sucks right?
Yeah, I smashed him, but the prick asked for it. He even cried after I’d dusted him up, the glass-jawed fag. I was only a kid at the time, lol. Even then his voice was shit – he just gasped through those crappy songs. I gave him a shiner of a black eye, and he never came back to that venue. :)
Bwahahahaha! Just had a darn good laugh at hph138’s expense. You think I’ve got time to correct all those terrible, terrible spelling errors? You’re as bad as your brother, Danzigsbigestfan138 (sic). :) Tee hee. Why are 99% of Dwarfpig’s fans illiterate and completely fucking stupid? Ah. They take after him. :)
John Denny – It must’ve been a luxury to smash Dwarfpig’s vile head in. Shame the incident wasn’t filmed…
“Oh I got somethin’ to say
I got beat up yesterday
It means a fuckin’ lot to me
It makes me so sad
I got somethin’ to say
I was punched gay yesterday
It means a fuckin’ lot to me
I’m ruined and defeated.
Sob.”
biscut man is most likely legally a retard make fun of me all you want but you still had nothing to say to fight my argument which would make you wrong and honestly youre so annoying if you were infront of me id knock you out cold you piece of shit you should probably go stand in traffic you stupid inbred fuck yes im very sorry your daddy is your brother fuck you pussy bitch o wait you talk so much shit you must be able to kick my ass! mabye on world of warcraft faggot nerd cocksucker eat shit i hope you die and john denny fuck you the misfits in no way suck go beat off to slipknot dicklips lol wow im done wasting my time i actually have a life sorry i cant sit here and listen to biscut bitch cry about how danzig sucks and how hes so damn cool fuck you im out
“Biscut man is most likely legally a retard…” Ha ha. Who is Biscut Man? What is a Biscut? A Danzig fan, perhaps? :)
Violence ain’t cool, guys. I’ve seen what it does at work, and it’s not pretty. Let’s all get on!
Damn people, it was a lucky punch to the temple.
And anyone that truly believed that Danzig was as badass as his songs, got a wake up call.
I still like the man, have spoke with him a few times
and he was always cool with me and others that didn’t try to be an asshole on purpose
What an article! Spot on. It’s sad, but true. It’s just another one of life’s kick in the balls. Everything is going/has gone to shit, even Danzig.
99% of everything he did before 1995 was pure gold. The pre-Doyle/Walk Among Us (before the total meatheadization of the band was complete) Misfits stuff is genius, and I say that as someone that thinks that word is chronically abused and overused.
I dont know where you attained your journalism degree but you should stop writing now. There are a lot of clever little things you should have left out…also Danzig did not go out with the Clinton Administration, because Danzig cannot die. I also question the legitimacy of that guy punching him out being who you said he was
also that fat fuck did not MATCH Danzig in size, Danzig is five foot three. That guy towered over him. Somebody is very bitter their childhood hero got knocked out. Fuck off mr. online journalist guy
Watch the video closely. He does not even get a solid shot on Glenn, it is more like a glancing blow that he is avoiding. He happens to go down and then you really can’t see what happens because the amateur camera retard films the backs of people’s heads.
danzig isnt invincible! so who ever told this dousche bag writer of this story that danzig was so invincible and no one in the world could beat his ass is a fucking mook ass moron.danzig is the fuckin shit,and the misfits will always be my favorite band EVER! just because some dumb ass tryin to get his 15 minutes of fame or a fat paycheck for punching glenn doesnt mean that danzigs carrers over,get a life you fake ass journalist.your most likley a hip hop fan or fuckin some dousche bag hippy hahahahahaaaaaaa
138
I enjoy Danzig, am a new fan who appreciates his special brand of over the top theatrics and personality. I don’t care that he got punched, he was asking for it, was bound to happen some day. Doesn’t affect his talent or his incredibly loyal fans. Anyone remember him from that episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force?
Well lit video? Clear as day. Sure buddy. A tape that was taken by the Az Kings and put on by them….I’m sure it showed everything. It also cut out early didn’t it? How about all the reports on the internet that somehow were exactly the same being plastered over every site? No, nothing strange here.
I have seen the baddest mother fuckers in the world get the shit beat out of them… and?
This was far from an ass whoopin.
Anyone who has not had their ass whipped…should try it.
Even chuck the iceman liddel has been knocked out. You cant get no more badass then shoving a motherfucker twice your size and half your age danzing was 50 years old when this happend you should try writing childrens books you fucking dork.
A successful article? Must be. It’s left a trail of crying and outraged fanboys. Which is nice. :)
He got hit on the button with a sucker punch. It can happen to anyone–that doesn’t mean he can’t kick ass in a fight. Everyone who has fought any decent number of fights has been sucker punched or knocked out with a lucky blow. That video doesn’t mean shit.
In that kind of closed space I don’t blame him for pushing him like that, the guy was waving his hands all near Danzigs face and getting too close, he probably didn’t even know who he was or what the f*ck :D
I’d love to meet the author#]punch him in the head.
Danzig’s useless in the ring, man. All that talk about being tough, then he gets knocked out with ONE PUNCH! Ok, the other dude’s much bigger, but that just makes Danzig look like a fool with no judgement. Loser!
I still don’t want him showing my daughter HIS world.
I was so excited to read this article to only feel like I just wasted my time. Author! Author! Have someone proof read your material before it hits the air!
Glenn Danzig is an excellent songwriter and performer. In regards to The Misfits well they are just true American Hardcore!
Even Sir Lucifer can get caught off guard :0
Was anyone filming backstage when Danzig got punched by a guy in Def Leppard? He’s heavy metal’s premier punchbag, is Glenn.
Glenn still rocks . your a duechbag..

I love this article. This is a hilarious, well written and thought out piece of writing. Good job pal. But, I would never expect someone who is a black belt in “made up Danzig karate” to be able to take a punch.
And Danzig’s biggest fan? You’re a retard. Could you spell at least ONE word right? Oh, sorry, you spelled “up” right.
Great article and way to tie it all up at the end. I laughed out loud. I agree, there was some credibility that was lost in the incident. I just found all of this today, so I was still living in a little dream world. I mean, his music has long sucked, but his physical development still garnered a certain amount of respect. Now, I see a squirting flower and big floppy red shoes — Clownzig
wot ya got a say that a me like cos Is got the curridge to dafend Glenn ya gota calls me a ratard poeple likes yors gona make Glenn dapressd by sayin him got beatan up him not beatan up it a cospiricy ta make Glenn looke week ya carnt make Glenn looek week cos hims got a dagree in kerarty and tike won do ya knows hims touhg him hardre than enyone else in metle yeh evan that thear Herny Roallins him touhg yeh but not as touhg as Glenn that fat dued wot puncht Glenn suckrepuncht him looke at the vidio no doant looke at it itll makes Glenn dapresst cos you basters alls laghin at him it ainet rihgt ya alls triyng ta rewin Glenns carrear ya carnt do it to him fuckin doant keap on sayin Glenn got beatan up its cruwel of yas ta keap on makin Glenns looke week GLENN RULES ALRIHGT
Oh come on, that’s not nice.
Did anyone notice how Danny RAN AWAY after he hit Glenn?
Did you even observe the video carefully?
As Danny goes to hit him you can see Glenn try to lift his left arm to block, but he’s sadly only 5′4 so the block attempt didn’t go in his favor. Thus he got knocked down.
Secondly, After that. RIGHT AWAY, Danny ran for it.
HE RAN HIS TUBBY ASS OFF.
If he stuck around, Glenn would have gotten up and killed the fucker. No Joke.
Not only that, but Danny went and bitched at him for no reason.
It wasn’t Glenn’s fault that North Side Kunts didn’t get any stage time.
The DANZIG managers, wouldn’t let them on, because those guys are assholes.
Glenn isn’t the friendliest of people, but he certainly isn’t THAT rude. His managers fucked it all up for them, and thus Danny thought it was Glenn’s fault.
So he went and started talking shit to his face.
I admit Glenn could have just NOT acted out like that, but when a fat douchebag comes up in your grill accusing you of shit you didn’t do, you’d shove him back telling him “FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKER” too.
I got a chuckle or 2 out of the article, but I gotta say, you’re a dipshit.
Cheers mate.
Oh P.S. danzigbiggestfan138 is a sad pretentious tool who needs to learn how to spell.
Incredible. All these years later and people are STILL TALKING ABOUT how Danzig got punched out. It seems to me he’ll never live this down, and the main reason for that is because he put so much emphasis on his demonic, over the top tough guy image. If the same thing had happened to say Slash for instance, it wouldn’t have been that big a deal. But since it’s Danzig…well, here we all are still discussing it.
Sad that people make such a big deal about a scuffle and a simple knockout.
People get in fights all the time and get knocked out. Yeah Danzig got knocked out but who really cares? Its not a big deal. If you get in fights, you’re eventually gonna get your ass handed to you. Its the people who dont fight who seem to not know this …….but still they watch the violence like its entertainment. They are not comdemning the violence, they are condemning the man and laughing at him.
That is, of course, until its their ass who is getting hit.
yeah theys laghuin at Glenn but its ainet rihgt cos Glenns best metle singer ever hes better than Henri roallins evn better than yeah fuckin poeples gota make fun outa Glenn but hims touhg an got qaliftication in kerarty.
troubel with the writter of this horrable artacle is that hes not as touhg as Glenn an hims jeloas ogf him cos Glenns raspected as bein a good fihgter well he was bafor all these basters start on sayin hims got beated up it ainet rihgt to say Glenns goten beated up by a giuteruist of from Deff Lepperd he never the bloak only sucrepuncht Glenn onstaige then ran off him rushed at Glenn an hit him thats sucrepunch same with that nasty bloak from NorThdise Kings hims jelaos of Glenn bein touhg YOU BASTERS AS MAKING GLENN DAPPRESED YOU GOTTA STOP IT STOP REWININ HIMS CAREAR GLENN RULES!”
First of all; “danzigsbigestfan138″, you ARE truly a retard, as someone already stated. Your spelling and grammar are abso-fucking-lutely atrocious. And Glenn is NOT going to get depressed and kill himself over people talking shit on the internet. I guarantee he couldn’t give a flying fuck what any of us have to say about something that happened 5 years ago.
Secondly; he wasn’t knocked OUT, he was knocked DOWN. And let me tell you people; a 50 year old (at the time), 5′3″ man who just finished rocking out for over an hour getting knocked down by a 300+ LB, 6 ft+ motherfucker? That’s not really impressive, a surprise, or something to brag about. The North Side Kings are a typical, boring, shitty hardcore band. Aside from that punch, they’ve done nothing note-worthy. And even that punch is nothing to flaunt, like I already said. Rollins would’ve gone down from that punch, too. Most people would have. There’s more to that video where Glenn gets right back up, but of course; no one wants you to see that part.
Yeah Danzig has a big mouth, so fuckin’ what? The writer of this article has a pretty big mouth too, goin’ off and writing shit like this. If he got knocked out by a 7 ft tall, 500 pound gorilla, would that be impressive? No. Totally justified though, given this article along with the recent Chuck Biscuits hoax, and the fact that this guy decided to try in ANY way to defend anything the new “Misfits” have done.
fuckin Edarston I fuckin ainet ratard Is just Glens bigest fan you wont to seem his bigest fan but you ainet cos yore admitin hims got beated up ya gota stop sayin him got beated up I thinks that vidio is fuckin a cospiricy it ainet reely Glenn its an acter Glenn wood of smasht that bloak even iff him be 6foots an that Noathdise king bloan hims bean bragin that hims beated up Gl;enn an gave to im a black eyes its rwong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw Glenn in consart a month aftar him got seposedly beated up an him nevar had no black eye him seid somat abuot the vidio bein rubish GLENN RULES
Not wanting to attack anyone on here, but I think Danzig is the biggest retard of all. Yes, other rock stars have been punched, and sometimes beaten badly, but not to the detriment of their image. Kurt Cobain got punched on video too, but Nirvana fans didn’t go off him, because he didn’t affect a ‘hard man’ persona. Danzig, though, has made appearing ‘tough’ his mission statement. I think his music is lousy – he sounds nowhere near as manly as Elvis, for starters – but his stance is even worse. The first time I ever heard of him was because he got punched by a guy from Def Leppard; the next was when he got punched by this large fellow! There must be a reason for these incidents. Being arrogant, and pushing your weight around as if you own the joint, are going to guarantee a smackdown quite quickly! And you say he’s only 5′3″ – so why is he fool enough to shove a guy of 6′+?!
DANZIGSBIGGESTFAN:
If you are NOT retarded, then prove it by not typing like a fucking 3rd grader. Those squiggly little red lines that appear under words from time to time (probably ALL the time for you), they mean that you spelled something wrong. So ya know, keep that little tid-bit of knowledge and use it.
Cowboy Joe:
You think Danzig’s music is “lousy”? Then you must have shitty taste in music. You think he “sounds less manly than Elvis”? At least Danzig writes his own songs, as opposed to Elvis, who ripped off a shit-load of African-American musicians, and barely wrote any of his own music. And I guarantee Danzig won’t die on the shitter.
By the by, that Def Leppard incident was a rumor, it didn’t happen.
EdArson – In fact, I was trying to be neutral. I understand you’re an ardent (pun) fan of Danzig, so you’re bound to get defensive when someone disparages his records, but that’s the way the world goes. Metal fans often seem to listen to only Metal, which they describe as ‘awesome’ and ’superior’; any other view implies a ’shitty taste in music’. Fine. If you think Nirvana (for instance) made shitty records, I’m not about to agree; you’re not going to agree that Danzig makes lousy records. One view with which I think you might reluctantly agree is this – no trained Martial Artist is going to shove a huge bouncer, swear at him, pose a la ‘tough guy’, then get decked with a single punch, in front of millions of viewers. Sorry, but it is very difficult to admire a man who did those things, even five years ago. (And those lyrics! Unintentionally hilarious!)
beautifully written, so well written; i could on and on about the ideas and humor expressed in this article. this article means so much to me because i could relate. beautifully written!
