Danzig was already highly sus back in the 90s. He recorded a song named White Devil Rise on one of his solo records and when music journos questioned him about that he was all like “why can’t white ppl be proud of their race when there’s such a thing as black power?” Then he went on explaining that the song was a response to comments by Louis Farakhan, that it described a race war and that Farakhan should be careful what he wished for. The guy is a total chud if you ask me.
Damn, Danzig making the whole punk scene sound like a bunch of pussies.
Someone go put him back on his rocker or put him down.
I want to call in to Streetfight and just clown on Bryan for unironically thinking Danzig is cool and his music is good. But I like Bryan and don’t want to hurt his feelings.
Original misfits, though problematic by today’s standards, wrote great songs and anyone who says otherwise had a vastly different punk journey than I. I remember seeing Suicide Machines play once and while one of them was fixing a broken string, the rest of the band played misfits covers and the audience knew all the words, it was a nice bonding experience
If you want an old punk who didn’t turn into a chud doofus, keep up with Dick Lucas of the Subhumans. Some of the best anarcho punk of the 80s with unapologetic animal rights messages. :liz-punk:
Oh, can also confirm the Subhumans still put on a great show and Dick Lucas is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Absolute sweetheart.
