Genuinely shocking or tasteless, campy fun? It
was sometimes hard to tell which way the Misfits wanted to be
taken, and the immense cult following that has grown up in the
years after their actual existence (1977-1983) seems divided in
its own assessment. It certainly wasn't the Misfits' musicianship
— which was as crude as the recording quality of most of
their oeuvre — that endeared them to so many, although Glenn
Danzig possessed one of the most distinctive and tuneful bellows
in hardcore punk. Rather, it was Danzig's penchant for catchy,
anthemic melodies, often delivered at warp speed, and his lyrical
obsession with grade-B horror films and splatter imagery that
helped the Misfits build a rabid posthumous following. Name-drops
and covers by metal bands like Metallica and Guns N' Roses kept
the Misfits' songs circulating during the mid- to late '80s, when
their tangled discography remained only sporadically in print
