DANZIG FORCE NEWSLETTER, Spring 1993 ------------------------------------ DANZIG FIRST QUARTER:1993-JANUARY lst-MARCH 31st FOLLOWING THE KNOXVILLE SHOW, AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE "HOW THE GODS KILL" TOUR, THE BAND STOPPED BY ELVIS' HOUSE. THIS WAS THE FORTH OR FIFTH TIME FOR E.V. GLENN DIDN'T GO ON THE TOUR OF THE HOUSE, HE WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN BUYING ELVIS STUFF TO ADD TO HIS COLLECTION. CHUCK & JOHN SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. THE BAND TOOK A MONTH OFF TO GET BACK TO NORMAL, AS SOON AS THE THREE DAY BUS RIDE WAS OVER. THERE REMAINED ONLY ONE SHOW LEFT, AND THAT TOOK PLACE ON FEBRUARY 12th, AT THE UNIVERSAL AMPITHEATER, AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, IN CALIFORNIA. RADIO SUPPORT WAS PROVIDED ONCE AGAIN BY 105.5 KNAC OUT OF LONG BEACH, LA. THEY REMAIN VERY LOYAL DANZIG SUPPORTERS & CONTINUE TO PLAY THE BAND.THE PLACE WAS PACKED, AND IT WAS A VERY KOOL GIG. AT THIS TIME THE BAND WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL WHO ATTENDED DANZIG CONCERTS, ALL OVER THE GLOBE ON THE LAST TOUR, AND FOR BUYING "HOW THE GODS KILL" & GLENN'S BLACK ARIA. AROUND THE SAME TIME AS THE BIG UNIVERSTL-SHO'WR THE BAND WENT INTO A HOLLYWOOD RECORDING STUDIO, TO CRANK OUT THREE NEW SONGS FOR AN EP. FOR EARLY MAY. THE RELEASE WILL INCLUDE A LONGTIME FAN FAVORITE,"TROUBLE" PLUS TWO NEVER BEFORE HEARD DANZIG SONGS. FOUR LIVE TRACKS FROM THE DANZIG III TOUR ARE ALSO ENCLUDED. FOR THE FINAL MIXING, GLENN BROUGHT IN RICK RUBIN, TO PUT IN HIS TWO CENTS. WE HOPE THESE NEW SONGS WILL BECOME FAVOR- ITES. WORK IS STILL BEING DONE ON THE DANZIG III HOME VIDEO. THE RELEASE DATE, RIGHT NOW IS FOR SOMETIRE-IN SEPTEMBER. VIDEOS INCLUDED ARE: 1. DIRTY BLACK SUMMER 2. HOW THE GONS KILL (edited version) I BODIES 4. SISTINAS 5. IT'S COMIN DOWN (from new ep.) LOOK OUT FOR THIS HOME VIDEO RELEASE, YOU'LL WANT TO ADD TO YOUR DANZIG COLLECTION. ***SINCE SO MANY OF OUR FANS FROM CANADA ARE DISAPOINTED THAT DANZIG HAS NOT TOURED THERE, GLENN SUGGESTS; THE FANS THAT WISH TO SEE THE BAND, PETTITION THEIR GOVERN- MENT TO STOP HASSELING US AT THE BOARDER. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE PROMOTERS. DEMAND TO SEE DANZIG, AND THAT THEY PROVIDE A GOOD PLACE TO PLAY WITH PROFESSIONAL SECURITY, AND THAT THEY ADEQUATLEY PROMOTE THE SHOWS. YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IN RECTFYING THESE PROBLEMS SO DANZIG CAN PLAY CANADA. IN 1992 THE DANZIG FANS AND ESPECIALLY YOU FORCE MEMBERS, DID A GREAT FUCKING JOB HANDING OUT FLYERS,CALLING YOUR LOCAL RADIO STATIONS, TALKING TO STORES, AND CALLING MTV. YOU ARE MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD AS WELL AS HELPING DANZIG BECOME SUCESSFULL. LET THESE PEOPLE KNOW; THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD BANDS OUT THERE THAT DESERVE TO BE HEARD. WITHOUT YOUR HELP SOME RADIO STATIONS TURN A DEAF EAR. DANZIG GREATLY APPRECIATES YOUR HELP. WE HOPE WE CAN CONTINUE TO COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT, IN THE FUTURE.
