Normally I don't feel comfortable writing about bands I don't know much about but I have to say I was pretty impressed with my first experience (way too late in the game I realize) seeing the Misfits. Now going in you have to know I only know "Hybrid Moments" and "Last Caress". I wouldn't recognize anyone in the band, I know Glen Danzig was involved somehow and Samhain, Misfits and Danzig are all related, how who knows but I know those band names and they are mushed together some way. My good friend Jim tried to give me a history lesson in this but I have pretty much forgotten all the info he gave me.
So about the show...very loud, very fast, it seemed like they played so many songs, almost like a Ramones show. The sound was great but then it started going downhill. The mike screwed up several times in the beginning - once that was fixed it was ok for a while then started going downhill. Luckily it picked back up by the end. They also played Rise Above which was great.....so great that I thought my friend was going to explode in a slightly messy way.
All in all it was a great time and was very glad I went and have now added them to my concert resume.
