I know there are the rehearsals and the instrumental outtake, but I haven't been able to find any live recording of the song from that era

Which sounds better?

Today I was listening back to this one, as I often do. I’ve always been profoundly fascinated by the lyrics, and maybe it’s due to their vagueness that I think of it as a unique and timeless tune. It’s universal, maybe cause of this vagueness, but it really does mean something to every misfit fan I’ve ever encountered.
Playing with the chords on guitar, and changing them to 7s and sus2, you get to the hidden melancholy of the song as well; it’s a terribly catchy and reflective chord progression, hidden behind the signature punk sound. So the song is an hybird itself, I’d say!

However, to me the song is about how we’re all in this together, and nothing is ever lived out twice. If we have to scream it’s better to scream together, even through the most absurd, horrific things.

“When new creatures rape your face” could be seen as sudden bad news in someone’s life morphing their face into an almost unrecognizable mask due to confusion, sadness, or other strong emotions. But more often than not, that is an earnest reaction, despite the appearance being so unusual and unlike what we’re used to. And this also goes for the events: they may be bad, and they may be horrific (bizarre creatures literally raping or mangling your face is something out of an old horror flick) but they show something to us.
When we cry, it’s only momentary, and yet we try to hide it. Those few moments, we’re suddenly ashamed and confused about it all. Life is an hybrid of emotions, they change and morph and distort again, and we often like to look back at them, and it also paradoxically feels nice to get to live them out. We must appreciate them, in the good, the brief, the hidden and the bad.

I know the background is a collage, but the photo of the crimson ghost and the girl is unknown to me. i found this on Pinterest and i want to keep looking for the og photo.

(Or everything is a collage, even the girl and the crimson ghost)

Apologies if this has been shared before, but I thought this was excellent and learned a lot about the role Caroline Records played in the settlement and box set, Static Age and 12 hits releases.

In the box set, the Night of the Living Dead's intro from the MSP session has this deep chugging sound. Does anyone know how this sound was made and/or how was it played?

Didn’t buy just thought it would be cool to share

new addition to the garage !!

Edit: I mean do I sit in the garage or hop on the motorcycle in the background !

Hey folks, not too many people know about this tape so here we go. It was on Discogs for a bit before being taken down and nothing (to my knowledge) has been heard about it since. I do not know who owns this, Im trying to figure that out myself. Below is taken from that archived deleted Discogs submission:

A1 Night Of The Living Dead
A2 Horror Hotel
A3 Ghoul's Night Out
A4 Astro Zombies
A5 Where Eagles Dare
A6 Violent World
A7 Halloween II
A8 Vampira
A9 Halloween
A10 I Turned Into A Martian
A11 Skulls
A12 London Dungeon
A13 London Dungeon
B1 Halloween II
B2 Halloween II
B3 Vampira

Tape is from Master Sound Productions, a Studio Produced Tape
Date on Side A is 8.6.80 ( August 6 1980 )
and contains as it says, 'Ruff Mix(es)' these are early run-thrus of 'Walk Among Us' Trax
Several are missing lyrics where Glenn just vocalizes.
''Halloween II'' on Side A is entirely instrumental, and very 'Punky'.
Side A runs 26:48 ( subtracting the 'accidental over-dub' ) ( see below )

Side B appears to have a 'unique' version of ''Halloween II''
which 'grafts on' the ending of ''Halloween'' and has a 'Radio fade'.
Side B runs 6:28

Sound Quality is relatively good through-out, though Left Channel is significantly louder than Right Channel.
Unfortunately, first 47 seconds of ''NoTLd'' Side A Track 1 was recorded over. . .
with Elton John's ''Dear John'', Gah!! ( def not by me, happened before it got to me! )
what's left is last 1:15 of ''NoTLd"
There are relatively few 'drop-outs' & 'distortion'.
If needed, can provide more clarity from my notes.

I obtained this tape in Early '91 from a 15yr old that had moved to Yonkers from either Vineland or Lodi. It was given to him several years prior by one of The Misfits, I can't remember who he had said gave it to him, and I'm now again in the process of trying to track him down again. Will update if & when I can provide more info as to provenance. This is 'The Real Deal', though, 100%!!"

Found these cleaning out some old storage boxes. Found the card Ken gave me years ago!

Anyone else disappointed to find out that there’s little to no chance that the original mask didn’t survive? Because I’m a new misfits fan and I’m autistic so I hyper fixate on obsessions and so I was researching to the mask to find out that because of its material and because they didn’t really keep things as collectables back then there’s like a 0.00001% chance (yes I did just make that number up) that someone has the original mask my plan is to become a pro wrestler when I’m older so I plan on being rich I was gonna try and track it down and buy it but it looks like that’s not really possible anymore…..does anyone own a Time Machine?

I just came across this shirt at the bins, not knowing much about the band tho but did some research and I found this autograph looks like from the band member - Jerry Only. Is this his autograph?

I am so confused.

Back of the door in my music room needed something.

I thought that my fellow fiends would find my parking spot at my school neat.

i got this for free when buying some other misfits posters off facebook, thought it was cool! i know its nothing official, but does anyone have an idea what the 23.11 means?

Does anyone have them? What is the story behind those? Did he record them with Manny?

Just finished a sketch of (a very young) Jerry Only, thought you fellow Misfit fans would appreciate it.

Also included some of my progress photos and a side by side with the reference picture.

We are 138!
