Glenn Danzig Biography

Glenn Danzig is one of the most popular and richest Punk Singer who was born on June 23, 1955 in Lodi, New Jersey, United States. Singer- songwriter best known as the frontman for the seminal punk rock band Misfits. He has also had a solo career under the moniker Danzig. He began his own comic book label, Verotik.

He was at one point replaced by Michale Graves as the lead singer of Misfits.

In the mid-1970s, Danzig started the Misfits, releasing the band’s records through his own label, (originally known as Blank, then later as Plan 9). Danzig had attempted to get the Misfits signed to several record labels, only to be told that he would never have a career in music. The impetus for the band’s name comes from Marilyn Monroe’s last film, combined with Danzig considering himself to be a “social misfit.” In October 1983, after releasing several singles and three albums, and gaining a small underground following, Danzig disbanded the Misfits due to increasing animosity among the band members and his dissatisfaction with their musical abilities. Danzig explained his decision: “It was difficult for me to work with those guys, because they weren’t prepared to put in the hours practicing. I wanted to move things forward, and they didn’t seem to have the same outlook. So it was time for me to move on.”

Beginning in the mid-1970s, Danzig’s musical career has encompassed a number of genres through the years, including punk rock, heavy metal, industrial, blues and classical music. He has also written songs for other musicians, most notably Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison.

His father was a Marine Corps veteran who served in World War II and the Korean War and his mother worked at a record store, which prompted his love for music.

Danzig discussed the reasoning behind the name change: “Rick [Rubin] convinced me it was the way to go, and would also provide me with a lot more artistic freedom. After all, I was now in charge of where we were going musically, so if I didn’t want to do something, it was a lot easier to say so.”
