Oh, EoC, I almost forgot...

ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH? THERE IS NOT NOW NOR WILL THERE EVER BE ANY SUCH THING AS A COVER OF A MISFITS SONG THAT'S AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. BLASPHEMER! :crankey:

:lulz:  I didn't think that would be a controversial one.  Wasn't the dude from Prong in Misfits and/or Danzig for a time?  I don't know, I just dig the industrial metal take on the song.

I've got this album Violent World - A Tribute to the Misfits.  It's got some damn decent covers on it.

Thanks, EoC


Burnsey if you found a working mp3 of Toxic I'm going to be fairly fucking impressed.  My only file was lost when I busted my old player and I think a big chunk of my friends from the area lost theirs over the years as well.

Yes, Tommy Victor has played with Danzig, also Ministry.
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Tommy Victor played with Danzig about a zillion years AFTER Prong covered London Dungeon.

So, not really relevant. That said, I do like the Prong version.

Yeah, I got home and listened to it.  You done good.

I googled it and found a bunch of sites hosting it but I wasn't sure if any of them were legit.  Glad you found a trustworthy one.  :)

If I'm not mistaken, they're from Bremerton.  :lol: Nonetheless, or possibly because of that, I love them.

At worst they can only be the 2nd worst band ever from Bremerton. Because, y'know, MXPX.

OK, I don't, in fact, know MXPX, and I am getting the impression that I'd rather not.  :lol:
