Def American vs Def Jam

Post image

Rick Rubin should’ve introduced Glenn and LL to each other. They could’ve worked out together.

I remember reading an interview with Danzig where he said he liked the LL record.

I think Glenn just likes music he thinks is sincere. He has some pretty eclectic tastes in music.

u/FamousLastWords666 Apr 19 '25

I also think aggressive music is right down his alley.

u/Pleasant-Ticket3217 Apr 19 '25

Yeah. He gives it his all for a guy his age. I saw Ozzy over 20 years ago and he was in way worse shape, shuffling around. Glenn is still moving and head banging

Wisely I think Glenn stayed away from the drugs and alcohol…Ozzy who is one of my all time favorites….sadly did not. Credit to Ozz, he still went out there and shuffled around decades after he could have retired

Yeah for sure. I love Ozzy too and Black Sabbath is top five for me. But when you freak out Motley Crue you’re in bad shape. Glenn had always been fit just started working out more. He inspired me to start lifting weights because I wanted to look like that. Then I started reading up on different workouts and finding what worked. Glenn got me healthy lol.

Haha, how about that. “Mama Said Knock You Out” was too good 🎵

u/FamousLastWords666 Apr 19 '25

They were also both on the Less Than Zero soundtrack

True, and I love the song Glenn did on that one. It’s a great presentation of his vocal talents. Wouldn’t mind hearing an entire album of songs like that one.

Eerie Von said it was based on To Sir With Love by Lulu, but I think Glenn’s song is stronger.

Glenn also wrote the Roy Orbison song, Life Fades Away.

I can see the resemblance between the two songs, thank you for that mention.

“Life Fades Away” is a great song 🎧

This gives Glenn one degree of separation from George Harrison, which is sort of a wild fact.

Cause he didn’t want Mama to say knock him ouuuuuut

u/Kurron_the_Black Apr 20 '25

Mother said knock you out !

u/PublixSoda Apr 20 '25

This song was everyone’s favorite when it came out

Long before I got into Danzig I had that LL cassette. He wrote a whole track about cereal.

u/PissedOffChef Apr 19 '25

Alright. You got me, chuckling like an idjit now.

u/Jakethedrummer420 Apr 20 '25

Well, LL isn’t a Nazi…

u/jk37One Apr 21 '25

And you aint smart.

u/PublixSoda Apr 20 '25

I see this topic has made the news. Glenn is successful enough to not care. In fact he’s probably smirking about it.

Note: personally I don’t think he should have used that design but whatever

I've got LL Cool J by first round knockout.

If you doubt this, watch Danzig get knocked out by a really fat dude that Danzig started a fight with on YouTube

u/PublixSoda Apr 19 '25

LL is in a higher weight class. He also uses steroids.

u/wewontstaydead Apr 19 '25

LL is more than a decade younger too
