Exactly. It's a dick move.

Some fans call this kind of thing (one-off shows) "special". I wouldn't say special...it's RARE, but not special. Special would be doing a real tour that reaches a lot of fans (and MAYBE an album) and showing that these guys actually get along. That would be special.

If they only do these two shows, there's nothing special about it. It's just them tolerating each other long enough in order to make the most amount of money possible while exerting the least amount of effort. Festivals pay artists a shit ton; most bands make more money (per show) this way than if they go on tour. And then Glenn can say "See, we reunited. Now leave me the fuck alone", whenever asked about a Misfits reunion in the future.

I truly hope there is more up their sleeve, but I doubt it. Glenn could've done a real Samhain tour and new album but didn't. Glenn could reunite the original Danzig band, but hasn't. God forbid he give the fans what they REALLY want. Would all of these ideas "work"? Who knows? But I think it's worth a shot.

Sure, people can argue that Glenn is an artist and likes to move forward, not backward. But a lot of what he has done since the mid 90s (20 years ago now) has been fairly lacklustre or just plain shit. He's had his moments. But if I were him, I'd have been on the phone to Eerie Von, John Christ, Chuck Biscuits, and Rick Rubin years ago.

They signed contracts to play 10 shows, saying the 2 Riot Fests are one off shows is bullshit hype.

I caught the vast majority of the show via live streams on Facebook and Periscope. They were on fire! They sounded amazing and Dave Lombardo killed it. Overall, a great set list...though the band has so many great songs that there will always be awesome ones omitted (Angelfuck, Ghouls Night Out, Hatebreeders, etc).

I just think it's funny that Doyle keeps publicly denying any plans after these Riot Fest gigs. "Two shows only and then it's over!" I call BULLSHIT. With a stage and light show like that, they're only doing two shows? NO FUCKING WAY. Not to mention, there's an "Original Misfits" website with an option to subscribe to it.

Rolling Stone wrote: Misfits' Reunion With Glenn Danzig Stuns With 25 Hits From Hell

Horror-punk trailblazers return with old-school ferocity, two giant jack-o'-lanterns at Denver's Riot Fest

At Denver's Riot Fest on Sunday, Glenn Danzig took the stage with the Misfits for the first time in 33 years.
By Kory Grow

"You like our fucking pumpkins?" Glenn Danzig asks a deafening Denver crowd, gesturing at the 15-foot jack-o'-lanterns glowering at the audience on either side of Riot Fest's "Riot Stage." "They're pretty fucking cool."

The band is midway into the first Misfits concert in 33 years to feature its founding fiend behind the mic, and the horror-punk trailblazers have just finished playing their gruesome "Halloween," with its catalog of "candy apples with razor blades" and "dead cats hanging from poles" – and the 10s of thousands of people watching seem to sing every word. Two coffin-shaped entryways sit at either side of the drum riser, the band's iconic "Crimson Ghost" skull-man icon seems to adorn every other square foot of stage, and the other "original Misfits" – bassist Jerry Only and guitarist Doyle – are decked out in their Walpurgisnacht best: ghoulish white face paint, black leather and spikes, "devilock" hairdos swaying over their instruments. But for all of Misfits' signature doom and gloom, everyone onstage looks surprisingly happy.

That's because the original Misfits' comeback, the closing event of the Mile High City's three-day Riot Fest & Rodeo, was a celebration of the group's nearly 40-year legacy of out-and-out punk subversion, one that's resounded in the music of Metallica, Guns N' Roses, AFI and countless other groups. It's a reunion that never seemed possible, as Danzig and Only have spent the decades since their breakup filing soul-sucking lawsuits against one another and taking bitter snipes at each other in the press after Only and Doyle reactivated the group without Danzig in 1995 (Doyle and Danzig settled their differences around 2004). Yet here they all are, with help from former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo and second guitarist Acey Slade, who plays in Joan Jett's Blackhearts, reciting 25 of their so-called "hits from hell" for a little more than 70 minutes and even reminiscing.

"About 40 years ago, Jerry and I got onstage in New York and we shocked the whole fucking punk scene who didn't know what the fuck to make of us," Danzig said at one point. "We didn't look like anybody. We didn't sound like anybody. We were angry, pissed-off and we dressed all in fucking black and we were always getting into fights and shitloads of fucking trouble every night. That's pretty much what punk was back then, getting fucked up and fucking people up. At least in New York City it was." Then they led a round of their ragged sing-along "Where Eagles Dare" as the audience bellowed its chorus, "I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch."

Right from the start, after a curtain fell to reveal the band's elaborate stage set, the audience began crushing forward. Toward the front of the stage, fans pushed each other like some living organism, with the few that had free hands raising them to fist-bang along with Danzig's anthemic lyrics. Some had arrived early, before the fest's gates opened at 11 a.m., wearing their Crimson Ghost T-shirts as they watched bands like Bad Religion and Converge, the latter of which praised Misfits when singer Jacob Bannon said they "made all the difference for me when I was a kid." By 2 p.m., the only Misfits shirts available at the merch table were sizes medium and small. The iconic punk band's set was clearly the most anticipated performance of the weekend.

Only told Rolling Stone earlier this year that he wanted Danzig to pick the set list, and the singer's song selection did not disappoint. It spanned his entire time with the group from 1977 to 1983, from their mordant first single "She" to the skull-rattling ragers of swan song Earth A.D. They charged through all the songs that became classics thanks to Metallica ("Last Caress," "Green Hell," "Die, Die My Darling"), with Danzig telling the crowd, "You all know this number," and they included songs that have become de facto anthems for the band, including "Horror Business," "We Are 138" and "Skulls." And they played a handful of tunes Danzig has not sung onstage since 1983, like "Hybrid Moments," "Teenagers From Mars," "Where Eagles Dare" and his Misfits-era solo debut "Who Killed Marilyn?"

The only staples ostensibly missing were "Attitude," which Guns N' Roses has been playing on their current tour, and their balmy "Static Age." But with seemingly everyone in the audience singing along, it was about as feel-good, lovey-dovey an experience as the band is capable of.

Earlier this year, Danzig told Rolling Stone about what a debacle his final Misfits show was. "Our drummer got really drunk and couldn't play so we got Todd [Swalla] from the Necros to fill in," he said, laughing. "It was a crazy night. It almost turned into a disaster." Video of that show, which took place in Detroit a couple of days before Halloween 1983 shows the band blasting through its repertoire with false starts. "We were playing at the speed of light," Only said of the concert.

Tonight more than made up for that last gig. Lombardo added some rapid-fire double-bass to the thrashier songs, Only and Doyle playfully sneered when they weren't smiling, and Danzig headbanged and flexed like he'd never left. They were in top form, as the Riot Fest crowd in Chicago – the original Misfits' only other reunion date on the calendar – will see in a couple weeks, and that is a fact not lost on Danzig who introduced the group's encore set by saying, "We hope you had a fucking historic evening tonight." But the fact of the matter is, anybody who was present won't soon forget the energy Misfits had or their howling jack-o'-lanterns.

"20 Eyes"

Yup. Better than Glenn & Doyle when they've played on Danzig tours. And obviously better than "Misfits(TM)".

The ripped shirtless guy is Doyle. Jerry is the guy with the leather jacket and spikes. (They're brothers)

You have to into account, Glenn is 61 years old. Plus, he's only 5'3"...so any excess weight is going to look worse or more accentuated.

Exactly. I am huge fan of all things Glenn Danzig...but I remain objective and call him out on garbage (IE: some of the post-Rubin albums, etc). But this reunion (which I was initially skeptical of) is absolutely fucking killer. It's easily the best that any incarnation of the Misfits has sounded live, ever.
