I think most of my ideas for posts come from my IPOD playlists. Coming home from a few drinks last night, Danzig came on my playlist and I couldn’t help but thinking, who else on this planet, thinks the first two Danzig albums are pretty amazing?
So here’s a few choice tracks from the first two Danzig records; Danzig and Danzig 2; Lucifuge. (or as my friends in high school would call it, Lucky Fudge.)
Now I can think of at least one person, ( I am looking at you huffy!) who will disagree with this but just give these tracks a few listens. If you ever liked at least one Misfits or Samhain song, you’ll dig these.

This takes me back. My introduction to Danzig was the Misfits – Walk Among Us (which i hated at first. It went against my Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Brains, COC etc that i was listening to at the time. But when i heard Danzing – especially Long Way Back from Hell, Tired of Being Alive and Blood & tears I was hooked. Maybe it was also because I fell in love with a girl called Vampirella from NY who was also a big fan. Whatever the reason, Danzig still holds a nostalgic place in dark heart!!!

Saw Danzig’s 1st show as “Danzig” @ City Gardens in Trenton & many, many more times there after. Punk , blues & Elvis. Who’d think it could work? Hooked instantly. The first 2 records are classics, but after that, he became to “big” for himself & just produced crap. The whole devil wore out quickly ,as the rest of the band found out. Misfists/Samhain/Danzig still in my rotation today.

The first two Danzig LP’s(I am getting old) were master pieces. I hated the first one also, it went against everything I loved…I thought what a sell-out this douch-bag is?? I matured into a love for his Elvis like croon and metal-pop new sound. The second album seems to be a much purer sound for the man. I know he has as much love for the strip club as he does his music. He still remains a fantastic showman.

Man, you guys must be sooo old!!! Ha ha ha!
I fucking love Danzig though. i used to listen to those first two albums while the rest of my family was at church. I met him once in ’01. I was all like “I’ve been listening to your music since I was 11!” and he was like “how old are you now?” and I was like “18!!!!” hhmmm….

I’m pretty young. I’m a kid still, I guess, but one thing will never escape me as I grow older. The love for this man’s lungs. I was raised with Danzig on the speakers all around me. Him, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Metallica (Kill ‘em all era), and ever since I was born it’s shaped my life. I like to think I’m better for it, but who knows. All I know, is that life wouldn’t be the same without Mr. Glenn. I like to imagine that it’s made me a more interesting person, a more “different” breed of youngster. I guess all that matters is I was able to see him live, in concert, at least once. I may have been three years old at the time, but I got to see him. Ever since, I’ve had him playing through my speakers.
