Nope. I wouldn't have done anything different in my career whatsoever. It would change where
00:09
I am and what I'm about. I have no regrets whatsoever.
00:30
I remember bringing the Misfits recordings, they weren't really demos, we recorded them
00:35
in a real studio, around to all the labels and just having people look at me like I was
00:41
nuts or a murderer or whatever and just telling me, you'll never have a career in music, this
00:47
is the worst stuff I've ever heard, this is just like a wall of noise, and I go, that
00:52
sounds good, a wall of noise, and they're like, no, it's bad, you're terrible, you'll
00:57
have no career ever in music, no one will ever care about your music, and I was like,
01:02
well okay, well fuck yourself.
01:17
When I'm doing a record, I always make sure that I keep in mind who I am and what I'm
01:23
about, and what it is I do, so now it's just second nature, I already know. Right away
01:28
when I write something, if it's not remotely dancing, it gets out the door, it doesn't
01:34
even make it to the studio, so I guess I'm known for writing catchy, heavy songs, and
01:40
I really wanted this one to even be more like an early 70s record with a very contemporary
01:46
feel though.
01:54
I used a lot of old gear, old custom amps with big 15 and 18 inch speakers to get that
02:03
big thick sound, pedals too. I found the original Dallas Arbor Jumbo Fuzz that I used in the
02:12
Misfits, that was the score, it's super rare, super hard to find.
02:18
That's so cool!
02:22
I play based on everything forever, and guitars, whatever needs to be done, keyboards, drums,
02:30
all the way back to the Misfits even. I think half of November coming fire is my drums.
02:36
What happens is, I've got a drummer there and he can't do something like Black Candy,
02:39
and I'm just like, you know what, get out of the way.
02:48
Misfits, Sam Hay and Danzig is always that bluesy, that's my vocal style, and that's
02:58
a lot of the stuff I grew up hearing. Stuff like Elvis and things like that was always
03:03
really great, aside from heavy stuff like Sabbath and things like that. People like
03:08
Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, you know, screaming and yelling, Howlin' Wolf
03:15
There's tons more, but those are probably some of the most important ones, I think.
03:26
Because with the Misfits, the songs haven't been performed in so long, it was kind of
03:29
cool when Doyle and I did that little thing on the Blackest 2005, two-thirds of the way
03:36
into the Danzig set, we brought Doyle out and did about six or seven Misfits songs.
03:42
And sometimes I didn't really even have to sing, I would just have to put the mic out
03:46
and it was just, which is kind of like, there are a few Danzig tracks like that, like Mother
03:51
and Her Black Wings and Twist a Cane and things like that. Skin Carver is another one that
03:57
took me by surprise. Now, thousands of people yelling Skin Carver is probably chilling to
04:01
someone's parents, but I think it's great.
04:13
This is Glenn Danzig and you are on ShockHound.com.
