Still singing, still a great fella. All the Misfits are great people, Dez sang Rise above, and we had a great night. Loved playing for them, and their road crew was killer, bought up our shirts too! Class acts!

Watch out with those pointy thingies so close at yer MTD

He (and Doyle + Graves) also did my Fender in '96:


("Thanx for being a Fiend", Doyle's sig is on the headstock and Michale Graves sig is on the back)

Extremely nice dudes!

super cool, love that its not just signed but he took the time to draw the skull so awesome!

[Mattsochistic]

Yeah, he is a great guy, and he beats the hell out of his basses! I have a picture of me and his two main basses! So awesome!

Show! (plz)

Might end the best "bass for metal" debate

[Mattsochistic]

Well we're kinda punk/math/metal but I would swear by my MTD 635-24 Ash/Myrtle Burl-Ask Birdseye Maple for anything heavy! I know folks like them for gospel and blues, but NYHC Punk stuff is where they belong! I will post the pic. here shortly of his two!

Cool, nice guy - I saw those guys in Cleveland, OH back in 95

That's pretty sweet. My first show I ever went to was the misfits back in 2001. Still have the fiend skull shirt he signed, and a glow in the dark one I bought there. Both are in pretty poor shape now but oh well. Still on the fence about their newest album. But then again it's been ages since they released any "new" material. Congratulations man.

Way Cool Dude!!

Thats Great. I met Jerry and Doyle eons ago at Lolapalooza. while im not a fan of the current Misfits music (which is cool because i wasnt when i met em either) the Misfits were and still are a staple in my lifes soundtrack and Jerry was always a class act. He's a very hard working/hard playing dude and i respect the hell out of him. Hes never halfa$$ed a show. Never been a giant Dez fan but i gotta say when anyone fires up a lil Rise Above im all in.

congrats on your experience. I have always hated the fact that I started playing long after my biggest influences had all went their seperate ways so im deeply jealous that you got to play with any incarnation of the Misfits...thats big bro and theres a WORLD full of musicians running out of chances to play with the heroes they grew up with. You rock my man.

Thanks, it was a dream come true!

Very cool! When I was in college in around 03/04 here in Chicago, I met Jerry a few times.

I had a 3-D Design class (woodworking, etc) and he was dating this really pretty girl in our class. She was always talking about how her boyfriend was in the Misfits, but we thought she was confused because she was French or something and spoke with an accent. So then one day he just showed up to our class (I'm guessing to keep an eye on her w/ all the college dudes) and sat in with the class. He actually knows a little bit about woodworking, so it was cool.

I mean, who's gonna tell Jerry "No"? Our instructor sure wasn't going to say anything...

Funny thing was, a friend of mine in the class was a HUGE Misfits fan, and he almost crapped when Jerry showed up. He sat there quietly hand-sanding some wooden demon wings which he explained were going to become parts for a custom bass he was building. Wonder if he ever finished it?

I think he even gave some free concert tickets to my friend. A really nice guy, I have to say. Wonder if he's still with that girl....

cool drawing, i'm in the process of trying to find a leather jacket to cut the arms off of

I've heard Jerry's basses are made out of rubber and wiegh in the 50 - 60 lbs range ....
