Zitat des Tages von Glenn Danzig:
We've had a lot of agencies try and sabotage our tour.
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.
I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.
I always want to do - take everything and take it to the next step. I don't want to just keep doing something the same ol' thing. Obviously, I could have wrote 'Mother' 20 times and made tons of money and be playing gigantic arenas and whatever, but that's not really what I want to do.
It's pretty crazy the amount of people that have covered my songs.
I just told you I wasn't a Satanist.
I love giving the energy and getting the energy back. There is nothing like it.
It started getting too crazy with 'Earth A.D.' The concepts started becoming too brutal and violent. It was less about fiction and more about the real world, the past, present, and future. I think a lot of people got freaked out by that.
Wars have always started over religion.
CDs sound so much better than MP3s. I'm sure they'll come out with a better format someday.
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.
I've always tried to expand what heavy or loud music was and where it can go and what it can do.
It's what's missing, I think, from most music - the rebellious part. That rebelliousness is part of great rock music or great literature or any great creative stuff.
I'm a big Fred Armisen fan.
But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.
We still have pretty good sales, especially for the art books.
I don't think any punk bands really ever got their due.
When I write, I write the drum beat. Though sometimes I write on piano or guitar.
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.
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.
Comics are a dying art. If you ask a little kid to choose between a video game with insane graphics or comic books... you have to compete with cable, satellite TV with its thousands of channels, and with video games that are like movies, with CGI explosions where you can blow up worlds.
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.
My idea of covers is that you should never cover a song and do it exactly like the artist because everyone's always going to compare it to the way the original artists did it, and they're just going to go, 'Oh I like the original better.'
Some of the best sing-along stuff you'll ever hear is Gary Glitter.
Of course, I started really being a comics fan with the underground stuff in the '70s.
I try to work out, but a lot of hotels don't have gyms anymore, so I always try to find a local gym where there's not a ton of 'roid-heads, 'cause I can't stand them. It's tough.
I was bringing my attitude as a regular person 'cause this is my attitude.
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!
I like the original Metallica version they did on 'Garage Days' - 'Last Caress' and 'Green Hell.'
If you're a music fan, you think these artists will be here forever, but you should enjoy them while they're here, because you never know what will happen.
While I am here, I want to maximize my time on this planet, you know.
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.
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.
The choruses are important for me. I want to say something, and sing-along is great.
We're doing Circle of Snakes, we open up with Skin Carver and we are throwing in Skull Forest later on.
I like to stay busy. I am a workaholic, and I like to be creative.
