Glenn Danzig.. Opinions?

Any other fans out there? I like everything he has done. Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig.

Amazing singer, my all time favorite. Not a huge fan of the industrial stuff he did, but it's still decent.

I really like some of his music but I can't stand the guy. He is a freakin' ego maniac.

On a side note, one of the funniest things I have ever seen was when Danny from North Side Kings (local AZ punk band) knocked Danzig out! Ha! Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. I still have the video of that!

I. Can't. *******. Stand. Glenn. Danzig.

I believe that I may despise him more than any other musician that has ever lived. I'm not quite sure why this is.

I hear he's a douche, but I love his music. Everything he did from the Misfits to Danzig 4 is great stuff.

I love his music, but the guy is a tool for the most part.

Not a big fan, but considering I hate Jerry Only so much more, I can't really hate on him.



Oh, and Michale Graves blows. Hard.

Looks like a beefed up Elvis. Not much of a fan of his voice, but I do like the song Can't Speak. Ummmm.....that's about it.

I liked the 1st 2 Danzig albums when I was in High School. I wasn't into the Misfits or Samhain.

I like some of his music, but yeah, he comes off as an over-serious self-absorbed dick in all his interviews and other appearances. It's like, you're a dark metal (or whatever) singer who used to front a seminal horror/punk band, dude...don't take yourself so seriously.

I've always thought The Misfits and Danzig himself to be kinda.. lame.

Yep. I mainly dig Mother, Skulls, and a few other tracks and I don't care to hear the rest.

Mother is a karoake favorite for me though. One of the few tracks that I can get pumped up for and rock with when I'm singing it. I just release my inner Danzig douche-identity.

I enjoy his music and the quality of his voice. As an aside, John Christ had one of the best guitar tones live and recorded.

I liked him in the Misfits. I saw a show live way back when. It was interesting.

Metal karaoke?!?!

That could be the single most non-metal thing ever said in the history of metal. Turn in your metal card! Now!

I liked The Misfits, Samhain and the first two Danzig albums, seems after that it was more about the image than the music.

Seems to be a lot of haters on here. Oh well, I'm still a huge fan.
