Glenn Danzig

Whether I’m doing music or I’m walking down the street or I’m in a record store buying a record or I walk into a comic store and I’m buying comics or having a drink with my friends, it’s the same me.

It’s not like that anymore really, but back in the day, nobody would let the Misfits open up for them, not the Ramones, not the Cramps, nobody.

To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it’s Judas Priest.

The Democratic party has gone so far to the left that people just can’t relate to it anymore and the Republican party is trying to go totally to the right.

I think the Democratic Party has picked a lot of the wrong candidates, the kind that Middle America, or people who are more down the middle and more rational, can’t side with. I think that’s been the problem.

I just told you I wasn’t a Satanist.

I don’t think there’s a back lot here in Hollywood anymore that has those streets, like a French Quarter.

We still have pretty good sales, especially for the art books.

We probably put about four or five comic books out a year and probably about two or three art books and various trade paperbacks – maybe four or five of those a year – and that’s what we do now.

But the Danzig unreleased stuff will be either a single or a double CD.

In Japan, they have TV sets in cars right now, where you can punch up traffic routes, weather, everything! You can get Internet access already in cars in Japan, so within the next 2 to 3 years it’s gonna be so crazy!

Of course, I started really being a comics fan with the underground stuff in the ’70s.

But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.

Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.

Yeah, now we publish whenever we feel like it.

We’ve had a lot of agencies try and sabotage our tour.

You know I take music seriously, right? So I expect journalists to take being a journalist seriously.

But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.

We’re doing Circle of Snakes, we open up with Skin Carver and we are throwing in Skull Forest later on.

I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don’t.

Wars have always started over religion.

I’m just saying that at least for the foreseeable future there won’t be any more touring.

People don’t realize that they’re being played by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but more so by the Democratic Party because the Democratic Party does not want another party in there.

I think the key to being a journalist is getting your subject to feel comfortable enough to talk about stuff they want to talk about and the stuff they like and don’t like, and still feel comfortable about it.

So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what’s going to happen.

I was bringing my attitude as a regular person ’cause this is my attitude.

I know they are going to be doing a box set in Europe of Danzig 5 and 6 and some other stuff.

It’s okay for Christians throughout centuries to exterminate races and for their priests to rape little kids throughout decades, but trying to give the people the power to think and be individual, that’s evil?
