Today, one of my all time favorite bands turns 40. The Misfits is everything I love combined in one. Catchy tunes, twisted humor, horror image and just awesomeness wrapped into one. As dysfunctional as this band is it unites so many people and inspires so many more. They can be seen in so many bands today. And the off shoots? Nothing but quality! Whether it is Danzig or Graves (have only heard a few 30 second clips of the Hideous era so I can't speak on it) handing the vocals, Doyle or Steele even Acey Slade, Jerry Other or Dez on guitars or whoever they have on drums (Joey Image, Mr. Jim, Robo, Marky Ramone, Eric, Dr. Chud, Dave Lombardo) you know that Jerry Only is handling the bass (and vocals too). This is the soundtrack to the lost, lonely, forgotten and outsider. This music, like I said, unites us. That logo, may be a fashion choice for some, is the banner that we unite under. This is family and this is the noise we make. It is never too much horror business but it's just evil all the time!
