Glenn Danzig quotes:

We're doing Circle of Snakes, we open up with Skin Carver and we are throwing in Skull Forest later on.

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.

To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest.

My view on Democrats is that they're fascists disguised as liberals, or liberal moderates. You're not allowed to say anything they don't agree with. You're not allowed to do anything.

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!

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.

Wars have always started over religion.

I dont think theres a back lot here in Hollywood anymore that has those streets, like a French Quarter.

I was bringing my attitude as a regular person 'cause this is my attitude.

I just told you I wasn't a Satanist

I'm just saying that at least for the foreseeable future there won't be any more touring.

Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.

I know they are going to be doing a box set in Europe of Danzig 5 and 6 and some other stuff.

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.

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

Al Gore wanted to tell people what they could listen to and what they couldn't, what they could record. It was basically coming down to the idea that he wouldn't let anybody record any music that he didn't think you should be doing. There was going to be an organization that would tell you what you could and couldn't record.

You know I take music seriously, right? So I expect journalists to take being a journalist seriously.

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.

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.

But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.

Blessing is a curse, seduction and thirst, feeds the hunger that burns inside.

I think the Democratic Party has picked a lot of the wrong candidates, the kind that Middle America, or people who are more down the middle and more rational, can't side with. I think that's been the problem

I think the key to being a journalist is getting your subject to feel comfortable enough to talk about stuff they want to talk about and the stuff they like and don't like, and still feel comfortable about it.

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.'

We've had a lot of agencies try and sabotage our tour.

But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist

But the Danzig unreleased stuff will be either a single or a double CD.

Everyone thinks L.A. is the beach. And actually, Hollywood is really far from the beach.

I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.

If you're working with a producer like Rick Rubin or whatever, you sing each line probably 30 different ways. Each time they're like, "Can you try it this way, can you try it that way?" That's each line in the song, for each song.

Of course, I started really being a comics fan with the underground stuff in the '70s

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.

Wars have always started over religion

Well, I've been on stage my whole life. Also, when you're doing music videos, a lot of people don't understand. They think you just go up there, do the song, and they film the video. You do it like a jillion times before that though. Same thing in the studio.

It's okay for Christians throughout centuries to exterminate races and for their priests to rape little kids throughout decades, but trying to give the people the power to think and be individual, that's evil?

I'm just saying that at least for the foreseeable future there won't be any more touring
