Boys and ghouls, punk history has been made this week, with frontman Glenn Danzig reuniting with the Misfits for the first time since 1983.
After 33 long years of soul-sucking lawsuits and bitter snipes at each other in the press, the horror-punk icons have officially buried the hatchet with their original front-fiend hooking back up for a performance at Denver’s Riot Fest, which was legendary by all accounts.
Fans lucky enough to be in attendance got to spy the reunited trio of Danzig AKA Metal Elvis, bassist Jerry Only and guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein linking up with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo (Misfits could never hold on to a drummer btw) to punch out 26 Hits From Hell from between two snarling 12-foot jack-o-lanterns.
The historic moment has got fans all over the world clamouring for a piece of the action, with demand for an original Misfits reunion tour now higher than Wolfgang von Frankenstein’s testosterone levels (and that’s saying something because that man a BEAST).
Catch their epic full setlist, plus footage compiled from three separate Facebook live streaming feeds, which contains the entire concert except for Astro Zombies, below.
