Jerry Only fingerz

Sign in to disble this ad
I've never ever seen Jerry Only (The Misfits) with a pick ever. However, I'm having a hard time believing that he plays as fast as he does with his fingers, and while singing these days. Does anyone know if he's an exclusive finger player? And by the way, nobody cares what your opinion on the Misfits or anything else is for that matter, so save it (I only say this because I recently saw a RATM reunion thread get turned into a bash Audioslave thread for no reason at all) Thanks!!

Yeah, but when I saw them live I could've sworn he was playing with a "strumming" style, using tons of distortion to the point that the notes he was playing were undecipherable.

he's been playing for a few years now, plenty of time to get his fingers up to speed if you ask me.

In the early days he used a pick as you can barely see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuDtVYX2KVs Nowadays he seems more to pull a single string with all of his right hand fingers, and it's true that he has a distortion cranked like a 200% up so you can distinguish betweena single or various notes

I talked to him a while ago about this... they played a show at my high school and I hung out with him before, and it came down to using a thumbpick i believe.
