The Mother Fucking Misfits!

[K]

According to a ticket website I go to, The MISFITS will be performing on the CITY INVASION TOUR with Exploited.

I already ordered my ticket~!

So far the only revealed date seems to be London Astoria.

[Skummy]

Hmmm....I love The Misfits, but the touring Misfits seem a bit shit. They barely even play Misfits songs any more.

But yay anyway.

I went to the Misfits last November, was an awesome show. Nice work on picking up tix already.

[VerbalPuke]

Even if it's not the Misfits that I know and love, I still wager that it will be a fun show. Especially with the Exploited playing (who I'm not a big fan of, but I hear they're fun live), should be alot of good dancing in the crowd. Perhaps some lesser known bands will open for these two and rock the house as well?

When i got my tickets to go see the misfits when i did so a couple years back, i was a little afraid of how it would work out, seeing as there was only 1 actual misfit and even him wasn't on the misfits when the band was formed in the first place.

The Misfits allignment back then was Marky Ramone on the drums, Cadena's awesomeness from Black Flag on guitar, and Jerry Only on bass and doing vocals which he actually never did on any incarnation of the misfits when they were. Despite all my fears I ended up enjoying the show because the great songs that i listened to at home were all played with amazing intensity. Cadena and Marky were super cool and simple, and Jerry Only was an amazing arrogant prick. Hey... 2/3 isn't bad and even he had his moments. Anyway, they've also played Ramones songs and also Six Pack and Rise Above which i marked out for and yelled out to until my voice was dead. It were two great moments. As a whole it sure wasn't what a misfits show would be. Definitely not. But it was a great punk-rock show from a semi-allstar punk rock band.

The opener where i watched was a Ramones cover band who actually had its set limited thanks to the fact the Misfits were playing a lot of their songs. It was also very good, and the members interaction with the crowd was great.

All in all, how can you complain when you're watching it for free?

As for the Exploited i think i'm the exact opposite. I think on CD they are pretty good (in what they do and not regarding lyrics), but on show it was a very strange concert. I'm not too big on them, but i guess it's not that bad either.

Oh yeah, i forgot... Yay. Have fun.

[Toe]

This incantantation of the Misfits is fun to watch live, all because of Jerry Only's stage presence. He gets everyone in the audience to move and get excited.

[Evil Chase K]

That's not the Misfits.

Go see Danzig instead.

1. Jerry Only was an original Fit.

2. He did vocals when Graves was in the band, but only on tour not on albums.

What line-up is it this time? I pretty much refuse to see the Dez/Marky/Only one. I'd rather see Gotham Road or Danzig.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that feels that way. I think the newer stuff the Misfits has done is terrible, I've heard some of the stuff with Graves and it sounds like they're trying (and failing) to be some sort of gothic power metal band. I wouldn't dream of seeing the Misfits without Danzig.

[EndOfAnEra]

Yeah, you're right except for the part about Graves. They had some better work than the original Misfits, and I actually prefer them over the Danzig era. I'm not saying EVERYONE has to think that, but they were still a good band. Hence my like for Gotham Road.

[FunkAsPuck]

Yeah, well, the only problem with Michael Graves, is that he is an annoying Bush loving prick who thinks that being punk means being conservative becuase thats what one of the Ramones said.

Anyway, expect a new line up as apprently Marky Ramone was set to be the drummer untill the 30th of last month.

As it turns out, Robo, one of the older drummers of the Misfits, will be on the tour. He's not the original drummer (Joey Image is), but it's still one closer to a more Misfits feel. Even if they did go through like, 8 drummers.

So that means his music sucks

[EndOfAnEra]

No you didn't. What I was getting at was that considering we're discussing the positives and negatives between Danzig/Graves, no one should really care about his political affilliations are.
