Glenn went on to a successful solo career with Samhain and Danzig, while the Misfits' legend continued to grow, fueled by well-received covers of their tunes by superstar bands like Metallica and Guns N' Roses. Sadly, the Misfits were not destined to last long, dissolving shortly after the release of 1983's Earth A.D./Wolf's Blood due to personal and musical differences between Only and Danzig. It obviously helps to have a sick sense of humor (and/or an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage monster movies) to truly "get" the Misfits, but you can't deny that they've got monstrous (pun not intended) chops and an undercurrent of catchy pop sensibility that will suck you in, despite the horrific goings-on. On the second time through, you're starting to pick up some lyrics and choruses.and finally, by the third spin you're totally hooked, air-guitaring and avidly screaming along with "Hack the heads off little girls and put'em on my wall" (from "Skulls") or "Killed a girl on lover's lane, kept her toes and teeth" (from "Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?"), in spite of yourself. The fun thing about the Misfits is that their albums take a couple of plays before they fully "click." On your first listen, everything blows past in a blur of 1000 MPH tempos and unintelligible, high pitched caterwauling. Be sure to stop by the "Devil's Whorehouse" and stay tuned for viewings of "Astro Zombies" and "Night of the Living Dead" while you're at it. Songs like the crunchy opener "20 Eyes," the ultra-catchy "I Turned Into a Martian," and the classics "Skulls, "Mommy Can I Go Out & Kill Tonight," and "Braineaters" will have you pogo-ing and twisting your bangs into a "devil-lock" hairdo in no time. What the Misfits lacked in technical finesse, they more than made up for in terms of sheer, pummeling ferocity.
