Get in the front row and take pictures if you want to see an epic meltdown. He's worse than Axl.

lol...Glenn is a little bitch.

Still...my favorite was him guesting on Headbanger's ball...he looks at Rikki Rachtman...touches his flannel and says, "Really?"...hilarious.

Those were the good ol days. Alice In Chains and Dave Mustaine use to ride poor Rikki pretty hard too.

Danzig was pretty good, Lucifuge was a pretty rockin' album.

they should have Morrissey and Danzig play one after the other on the same stage.

No Morrissey in Denver? Must not be enough Mexicans in Denver to support a Morrissey headline slot.

I hereby proclaim the Hold Steady to be the most overrated indie rock band of the past two decades.

This guy is too much literature and too little rock. The best rock is usually dumb. Please baby, go all the way!

I mean, I love a lot of "literate" rock, but I still find the Hold Steady terribly boring.

Their first 4 albums were pretty good, imo. Their last 2 have been shit.

There's a way that literate rock has to be done and it isn't easy to pull it off. This Hold Steady guy comes off like Rubber Ed from Stephen King's Apt Pupil.

I agree, but would add: The best rock is usually smart but not school-smart....

I can't stand that dumb 80s rock, though.

If you guys go, try to check out Off With Their Heads. My buddy John Polydoros plays guitar live for them...not on the albums.

Is that guy's wife named Donna?

I don't think he's married...but there are two Donna's he is FB friends with. John is/was/is my bartender at my local pizza hang.

I saw them a few years back at a street fest and they were pretty weak overall. Bass playing Kirkwood brother was a mess. I was devastated.

Hold Steady has some tunes I really dig.

Maybe it's his sister-in-law. She has a band with a weird name like Drum Beat Juel or Juel Beat Drum, something like that.

Take this for what its worth but I was drinking at a bar one time/talking to the bartender and somehow this video got brought up. The bartender said that he knew the big dude who laid out Danzig and that the whole thing started because the big dude's band was that night's opener but their equipment arrived late. He went around asking all the other bands if they wouldn't mind dropping one song off their set list so that his band could play a short one. The other bands were cool with it, but Danzing was a total jackass and bit off more than he could chew.

Cris? Yeah, he was a mess....during the 90s....early 2000s.....sobered up in jail. Saw them three times, he was not with the band the last time (at NIU)....Jesus, I'm old.
