Awesome music video Wednesday part 2

If hip-hop isn't your style than maybe a little Danzig will
tickle your switch.

The original member of The Fiend Club and a twisted sinister ghoul, Danzig is one of the pioneers of metal and the founder of one the most popular punk rock bands in history.

Danzig, known as the father of Horrorpunk, has a reputation for being smug; inciting fights and mayhem with fellow musicians or whoever is in his way. Call it a Napoleon complex, but this devilish 5"4 misfit's three decade music career has paved the way for such notable bands like AFI, My Chemical Romance and Metallica.


In 1977, a young Glenn Danzig founded The Misfits, a horror punk band inspired by 1950s horror films with influences of punk rock and rockabilly. Their gory songs include "Mommy, Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight?", "Night of the Living Dead"and "Die, Die My Darling". Since their debut, The Misfits' ghoulish lyrics and corpse painted faces have become an important part of pop culture and the music industry with a cult following of every age.


After he disbanded the original Misfits in 1983, Danzig began to work on new projects and in 1988 finally released the debut album with his new band, Danzig.

A mixture of doom metal with a heavy blues influence, Danzig's new sound was slower and even darker than his punk rock roots. His hair now long, his skulls traded in for Gothic crosses and his slender frame now a massive swollen chest covered in hair and blood.

His amazing vocal range has been compared to Jim Morrison and Elvis Presley, but Danzig's fierce howling is what makes him legendary. Below is Danzig's most famous song, "Mother", a favorite sing-a-long song in local bars-i.e.'The Breakaway'.

When I was 19, my friends and I worshiped The Misfits and Danzig-ah youth. Please enjoy the music video, at times a bit corny but it still manages to give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside, especially the chicken sacrificing scene.
