I was disappointed when Metallica played the Misfits song about raping mothers and killing babies. It gave people another reason to go after Metal as a bad influence on the young.

Zig wrote great, catchy songs for the Fits but Llica's love for them no doubt help elevate them and kept them from fading into obscurity.

No doubt. But that's not where it ends. Legend has it urton introduced bin to zig, and the rest was history. But for bin there would be no zig only ain. And but for zig's exposure where would the Fits be today?

I mean at least ICP would know not to use derogatory language.

For a Tallica fan it's a struggle and a half.

I know, wasn't it awesome and then they doubled down a few years later with that glorious cover of So What. Ahhh those were the good ol days.

I've seen people use " 'ca " (short for 'Metalli-fuckin'-ca"). I guess time is money... But the good thing is: the old internet speech ("pwns" etc. etc.) seems to be deader than Latin.

@ Topic: I love 'ca's cover of "Die, Die my Darling" and... whoops, what was the topic again?

Sure. The topic is "Do you think Deth will play an aggro set when they open for the Fits? (wake up deth)" It's posted up in the thread heading.

Unfortunately, most people aren't addressing the topic. The way this thread has been mishandled by the Chives community, it's like you're laughing at a fat girl.

Wonder if Greatwhitesnake is still flying to Florida to see the Fits and Deth?

Ha! I love the point you've made here.

The internet brings about the worst in people when it comes to pack mentality. It's good to remember all the idiotic internet slang dies eventually.

they will play holy wars, trust and symphony of destruction and you will like it

We here take our green onions super fucking seriously!

Yeah, Taine giving Head first would rock!

Yes we do.

I only checked out Misfits in the late eighties because Metallica covered them, and wore shirts.
I did buy Walk Among Us and Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood It's fun. nothing more.
I listen to them, once every few years. I just dislike mr Danzig and I wouldn't pay money to see the Misfits live unless they're added to some gig I already planned seeing.

I like the misfits, but I think two of my favourite misfits songs are actually Graves-era. Dig Up Her Bones and Saturday Night are both classics to me.

Completely forgot about this thread but I actually went to this show.

Fear were kinda boring. They didn't move around on the stage at all, just kinda stood there in the middle and I didn't think the songs were that good. They did play Foreign Policy which Megadeth covered on Dystopia, so that was kinda neat to hear. I guess Fear were one of Dave Mustaine's favorite bands when he was getting into music as a young man. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about them was that they played a song called 'New York’s Alright If You Like Saxophones' which includes the line 'New York's alright if you're a homosexual'. I thought it was kinda ballsy of them to play something like that in the year of our lord 2023.

I mostly went to the show for Megadeth, and they were great. Mango_Sauce posted the setlist above^ and it was basically their standard setlist, with the addition of that MD.45 cover. Unfortunately in order to fit that cover in, they cut Mechanix and A tout le monde. I can live without A tout le monde but I did want to hear Mechanix. Oh well. They played Tornado of Souls and that's been a bucketlist song for a bit now, so I'm glad I got to hear that one. Dave sounds really really good. Almost exactly like he does on record. Kiko Loureiro is a monster guitarist. Of all the guitarists that have had to fill Marty Friedman's shoes, Kiko is probably the one who does it the best. The man shreds all the solos like it's nothing.

I should preface this by saying that I don't actually know very many Misfits songs at all, but even so, Misfits' performance was kinda bizarre. I know that their songs aren't particularly long, but even so, they must have been either abbreviated the songs or sped them up by /a lot/. Per Setlist.fm, they played 26 songs in a little over an hour even with Danzig talking to the crowd a bit in between some songs. Most songs were finished in under 2 minutes and I'm pretty sure at least 1 song was under a single minute long. I guess they were trying to play every single classic hit so no one was disappointed, but I think if I was a big Misfits fan I would be disappointed with these super short version songs. I will say that Misfits had by far the best stage presence and the most energy. All of them were running around and engaging the crowd and guitar-dueling n stuff. They had videos for pretty much ever single song playing on the monitors on the stage and those were actually pretty cool looking. They were a ton of fun to watch for sure. They just needed to play like 1/3 of the number of songs, and play them at normal speed.

Given the majority of Misfits songs clock in under 2 minutes, I'll go out on a limb and say they played them in full. That's part of the allure of classic Misfits, how brief the songs are and yet how full they seem.

Yeah I just had a look at it and the studio times for those 26 songs clock in at a total of under 54 minutes. Plus setlistfm says the show went for 80 minutes. Cool setlist by the way. I'm a huge Misfits fan and once again I'm jealous as fuck coz once again this is a bucketlist concert.

Horrendous band. Lucky for the guys that attended...Deth opened. My god...can you imagine paying to just see Danzig's old band?

Megadeth used tracks on their vocals and prolly guits too. Mustaine has always struggled with vocals live. He didn't in Tampa... because he wasn't singing.

I did like their backing tracks though. They sounded raw; Deth uses more authentic live-sounding tracks than WASP.

The set was 100% GWS vagina friendly. I think from the first three albums, they only played Sells. That's it. No Up Dead. No Hour. Nothing from What.

Being able to look at Misfits as "Danzig's old band" is probably a perspective that is fairly unique to non-casual metalheads such as ourselves. I gather that they are a near-mythic status band to more casual listeners and "classic rock" fans. Possibly bordering on the same strata as Queen, Guns N Roses, AC/DC, and Metallica? I'd be curious to know how many casual Misfits fans even know that Danzig has a solo project at all. I'd wager that to a whole lot of people, Danzig is the legendary frontman of Misfits. Not just the guy who used to be in a band called Misfits before moving to his solo project.

I'm actually not sure what my point is here. Just an observation and some thoughts, I guess.




Please, god, I'm begging you. Use full words and titles.

Yes, Dave sounds a lot better than he did when he was young. When he was young, he wasn't lip syncing to backing tracks.

I thought abbreviated titles were a thing here at Chives.

It doesn't seem like they are playing to tracks.

Still waiting for the Fits review on EE.

Thanks.
