DANZIG FORCE PROMO PACKAGE, 1990 -------------------------------- GLENN DANZIG ON DANZIG "Are we dangerous (speaking about DANZIG) Sure kids are looking for a little danger. Not a lot... Just a little, but you know who we really scare? The evangelists. We represent the fall of everything they've built up. Scary? We're very scary to the people who've built a system where you're not encouraged to think of yourself." "I always thought people come to a show to be entertained. We offer more than Rook 'n Roll and killer songs. We understand drama, powerful imagery and powerful words. We're not saying stupid stuff. "I'm just searching for answers. I read a helluva lot and the more mysterious the subject the more intrigued I am." _____________________________________________________________________________ EERIE VON SPEAKS ABOUT DRINKING, GROWING UP AND THE BLUES "What you wanna know bout me?" "I drink George Dickel Tennessee Sippin Whisky." "I been to Graceland 3 times." "Grew up in Lodi, New Jersey." "I collect toys & Elvis Records." "I love to play the blues." "I know ma boy Glenn since 1981 since 1981 and I gots all those Misfits reitords you all want... but you can't have none of them." "Playin live is just about the best thing in this whole sad world I can think of." "That and fucking is kind of kool. "Serve it up Frankie..." _____________________________________________________________________________ JOHN CHRIST DIRECTLY FROM THE "CHRISTMAN'S" MOUTH "I was born and raised in a small town just outside of Baltimore, Maryland, the youngest of 5 children and the only boy." (Hence my charm with women...) "I first picked up a guitar around age 13. By age 14 I was playing lead in my first band, Blind Ambition." "My parents and sisters all play musical instruments." "I took private lessons at Peabody Prep. at the Conservatory in Baltimore City." "The first time I heard "Smoke on the water" I knew I was gonna be a rock guitarist." "I studied Jazz bass and jazz composition at Towson State University in Maryland." "During winter break I auditioned twice for Samhain and got the job on February 2, 1987." "In my spare time I enjoy riding horses, hiking, camping and climbing voluptuous blonde women." _____________________________________________________________________________ CHUCK BISCUITS ABOUT HIMSELF "Wat da hell?!?!!" "Dere wuz nuddin..." "After Biscuits dere wuz everythin!!!" "Personall perals of wit und wiszum???(shut up and smoke)... or (rap rooles you suk!!)."

Guidelines: Must say C+P GLENN DANZIG/EVILIVE MUSIC or STATICAGE MUSIC. 1. Sound quality: demand to listen to the record. If it sounds like garbage it's a bootleg. If they don't let you hear it, what are they hiding? 45's: 1. Live albums & extended play 45's- except for THE PLAN 9 & AGGRESSIVE ROCK (German) releases for "EVILIVE" (MISFITS). There are no DANZIG related live releases. If you got one it's a bootleg. 2. Singles- 7" 45's: THE MISFITS put out (7) seven 7" 45's GLENN put out 1 solo 45). DANZIG & SAMHAIN never put out a 7" 45- if you have one. it's a bootleg. 3. Labels- If a record has no label on it, it's a bootleg. LOGOS: 1. MISFITS/SAMHAIN products always carry a PLAN 9 RECORDS logo with an official scribe # or PLAN 9/CAROLINE TRADEMARKS (in lower corner on back). *Also MISFITS releases always list band members (except for the HALLOWEEN 45). Rules: Posters and similar Promotional materials: Quality: If it looks like someone slapped it together, or amateurish. It's a bootleg. Logo: Official merchandise will have our affiliated record company. DEF AMERICAN, or WARNER BROS., PLAN 9-CAROLINE. T-Shirts: The shirts you see at shows are the only ones official. Other designs that don't usually have a quality look or display a logo with GLENN'S name (at the bottom) are bootleg. Be a smart consumer, if the price is a little too high and the records are in with our real releases, it's a pretty good bet it's a bootleg. Pay no more than you pay for our other records. Also: If the price is too low on a seven inch. be cautious. Real MISFITS records rarely go below $75-100. Mom & Pop stores, (small, independent, punk rock-type stores) are the biggest offenders when it comes to selling bootleg products. Especially t-shirts. In closing we would like all of you to know we receive no money for anything but legitimate DANZIG and DANZIG related products. We hate to see our fans ripped off. It makes us very angry. Don't buy bootlegs. We'll give you plenty of quality music and T-Shirts to choose from. There are enough people already with their hands in the pot. Who deserves it the band or the bootleggers? Be Careful-DANZIG _____________________________________________________________________________
