the Misfits: Clazzik or Dudd

Is that the same weekend as Knotfest? They could get Jay Weinberg.

Jeff Porcaro's remains will drum

Oh snap, Dave Lombardo is drumming!

After months of speculation, the ORIGINAL MISFITS announce that drummer Dave Lombardo will join them for their two Riot Fest dates (Denver, September 4th and Chicago, September 18th). The original drummer for Slayer, Lombardo will be providing his propulsive beat behind Original MISFITS members Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only, with longtime guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein. Danzig and Only will be playing together on stage for the first time since 1983.

Lombardo says of joining the band for the dates, "The Misfits created the horror punk attitude and had a massive influence on modern rock, punk and metal. It was an easy decision for me to join them for these monumental shows. I was honored to be asked, and am very excited to be playing with the band. Judging by the rehearsals alone, Misfits fans will not be disappointed- this is everything they could have hoped for and more."

Glenn Danzig says, "I first met Dave back in '88 when DANZIG did four shows with Slayer in the U.S., before the first DANZIG album was released. Dave is one of the best drummers around, and I can't wait for everyone to see him pounding MISFITS songs live for these special shows."

Jerry Only says, "Dave Lombardo is a master at what he does. With the immensity of the two shows we're planning together, the biggest decision we had was who is going to keep time and power this monster machine on drums? When Dave Lombardo's name was thrown into the ring, Glenn and I were immediately on the same page from the very start, a good sign of things to come. I think the darker side of punk we created with the MISFITS spawned the growth and evolution of punk into thrash, and sired bands like Metallica and Slayer, just as we inspired countless others in the punk revolution."

Christ, "She", "Attitude", "We are 138"....I may have to fly out to that fuckin festival in Chicago

I caught them in Vegas last night. Had the time of my life.

Glenn was even in good spirits for....the first time ever. Though there was a strangely long lull before the encore which had three of us theorizing what violence was occurring backstage (Doyle eating Mr Anzalone was my favorite).

Oh and during "When Eagles Dare" they flashed the words "I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch" on the screen, opera style

Former @Misfits vocalist Michale Graves spent his 48th birthday on the witness stand testifying for the Proud Boys defense. Pathetic https://t.co/klIzftAX2D

still a piece of shit

3 city tour by “original members “ on sale this week

i'm down. them, Megadeth, AND Fear in Tampa in June.

probably going.

seen the Glenn reunion at Psycho Vegas in 2019, on the one hand, yeah, it def felt a bit lame to be seeing the mega-sellout version of a show that in the 80s would have played in scuzzy, dank basements with shit PA systems and Glenn getting into fights mid-show half the time....but then the music started and I stopped caring.

idk that it was that much better than when Glenn was touring Danzig and brought Doyle out for the short Misfits set, (other than being full length), idk that Jerry Only's lame ass being there helped that much, but it was a mega cool experience for someone who couldn't be there during the original run.

*MISFITS reunion christ

I got nothin to say
I'm taking the Fifth today

Graves can suck a dick

It doesn't say so in that piece, but I presume Dave Lombardo is gonna be on drums. I interviewed him this week and he mentioned that he's currently playing with the Misfits, and is no longer part of Suicidal Tendencies because Mike Muir can't tour (serious back problems, I think).

I think he is as well.

bummer on ST, guessing that means their tour/festival circuit is over (I wasn't gonna get to see em anyway but still...)
