I would love to.
I remember when the first Danzig album came out. I heard it, loved it, and had absolutely no idea that Glenn Danzig was the lead singer of the Misfits. I had been listening to the Misfits for a year and was also into them.
Someone then told me about Samhain and, man - was I excited. I went right out and bought November-Coming-Fire. What a disappointment. I just couldn't get into it. I still throw on Danzig occasionally and Misfits more often - but I haven't listened to Samhain in 25 years.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll give it another shot some time.
I have a single that is pre Misfits that is under the moniker of Glenn Danzig. At the end of the day there is really, really good shit in all of them, and some crap there too. At least Samhain live wasn't so pretentious and punk and gothic at the same time. I like...
Skaters should listen to more Weasel!
The documentary on Wax Trax comes out soon too!
Skinny Puppy was a fantastic band, truly unique and original.
They were so far ahead of their time.
It's a shame Ogre and Cevin Key put the band back together and ruined it.. everything after The Process is appalling.
Foetus was always good to amp you up.. especially Nail and Thaw.
Foetus are some crazy rad shit!
Here's a lesser known band in the similar electro-industrial vein to Skinny Puppy. This came out around 1985. More rad shit to skate to.
What was great about them was that every album sounded different, but still had that unique creepy sound.
The Legendary Pink Dots and their collaboration project with Skinny Puppy called The Tear Garden 'The Last Man To Fly ' is a masterpiece.
Wow, haven't heard the Klinik in a very long time.. rad.
Skaters should listen to the Swans
Both Tear Garden and Swans are some crazy shit!
Speaking of Al Jourgensen, skaters should listen to Ministry.
@powellboy It's always lame 00s-10s rap. None of the good 80s/90s stuff. I'd prefer to hear more Punk Rock over anything else, though.
Was very cool that Santa Cruz had put two Pailhead song's in Streets Of Fire
Wax Trax 'Industrial Accident' trailer
Chris Connelly wrote a fantastic book called Concrete, Bulletproof, Invisible & Fried: My Life as a Revolting Cock.
A from-the-horse's-mouth ride with the animal pack that was Ministry and the Revolting Cocks: no-holds-barred, no drug left unstoned, no city left unscathed.
As an integral part of Al Jourgensen's mutant family of musicians, Connelly joined a Mad Max-like travelling circus. Live shows were an ear-splitting redneck disco from hell, with sleazy strippers and even reports of live cattle on stage, all influenced by a mind-boggling cocktail of every conceivable narcotic. Chris Connelly's dramatic confessional is funny, irreverent and sometimes downright scary. It is one of the finest portrayals of a man trapped in the eye of the post-punk industrial storm this side of Armageddon.
