HERE ARE COMMENTS SENT BY OTHERS ABOUT MISFTIS AND EARTH A.D.
THE COMMENTS ARE DISPLAYED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE RECEIVED
Joel Gausten – Back in 1995, I was in the rehearsal room when the Graves-era Misfits decided to play this album from start to finish, I think for the very first time . It nearly killed them, if I recall!
Joel recently witnessed the current inception of the band in Philadelphia, you can read his article recounting how this album changed his life here. And right on time for Halloween, you can read how he got to witness the first live appearance by the resurrected band here.
Greg Prato – Goth punk? Punk metal? The Misfits were one heck of a band. And they also served as a HUGE influence on Metallica. In fact, the fact that Metallica were constantly photographed wearing Misfits shirts undoubtedly earned Danzig and company some serious $ in merch sales over the years!
Jon Leon – Never was huge into misfits but they are legends.
James J. LaRue – This was too punk and not technical enough when I was younger, but these days I don’t see it that way. I should listen to this one again, give it a fair shot.
JL – I am a bigger fan of the Danzig era, than any other by the band, tracks like “Die, Die, My Darling” will always captivate me, as will other tracks that appear on this album like “Green Hell”, and “Death Comes Ripping”. Furious, short and intense.
