You ever notice people complain about how bands crank out
the same music? Ever notice that a lot of those same people also complain when
people change their style of music? Yeah, they’re called Danzig “fans”. Danzig
albums are usually grouped into two categories. The first four are called classic,
because they had the same members on all of them. The rest are called
experimental, because people lack imagination or good taste in music or didn't bother to actually listen to the albums because their cousin’s brother’s
girlfriend’s hair stylist said they were crap. They were wrong. Get a few
things straight right now. Glenn Danzig does what he wants. He put out a heavy
blues album long before it was cool. He took metal into industrial and washed
it clean again. All while caring as much as a honey badger in a cobra pit. Until you've written songs for Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Willie Dixon, been in not
one, but three legendary bands, performed solo, released more albums than you
have fingers, work with whoever you want to, and been given an autograph by
Insanislupus, don’t talk to me about fame. While we’re on the subject, stop
pretending you went and hung out with the Misfits when you were five. You didn't listen to Samhain in grade school. Your Misfits shirt is not a tour version
when it has a Hot Topic tag in it. And no one cares you listened to Danzig
first and hid them like a relative who died while having sex with a mule so
that no one would find out. That’s stupid and doesn't make any sense. Even if
it is true, you only prevented a fanbase from growing. Good job, OG. Now go
listen to Danzig 5 through 9 and return with an in-depth review.
Who's OG now. Cred.
