LINKS: News and Reviews of the 10-23-2007 Danzig concert in Baltimore, MD
This is a follow-up to my review of the Danzig concert that I went to on Tuesday, October 23, 2007. I’ve been reading various reviews, news articles, and forum threads about the show, and decided to compile several of them into a list (in no particular order).
- REVIEW: evb: start of the Danzig tour last night in Baltimore
- Elizabeth (evb) posted the first review that I found about the show. She felt that the girl (apparently Doyle’s wife) pole dancing during Gorgeous Frankenstein’s set was a pitiful attempt to distract from the band not being so great. I agree with that, except I actually liked the distraction. Hers is one of the only reviews I’ve seen that actually said much about the opening bands, which is kinda cool, since my friends and I arrived pretty late.
- REVIEW: RockN Roll Experience - Danzig 10/23/07
- This is a thorough review of the Danzig show, with some excellent photos, and even a video of Glenn Danzig getting back up on the stage after having fallen off. There was a very detailed description of the events surrounding Glenn’s fall, and the impact it seemed to have on his attitude. They also described some events that happened after the show, including a roadie collecting stuff from the fans that stuck around the longest, and Glenn autographing one thing for each person. I was a bit bummed to read this, because we did stick around for a while, and all we got was a water bottle with a setlist wrapped around it. But, I didn’t really have anything to hand to a roadie to get autographed, anyways, so oh well.
- REVIEW: Clint: All the CONCERTS I’ve ever been to: Danzig. 20071023.
- My friend Clint maintains this list of all the concerts he’s ever been to, including short write-ups about many of them. His review of the 10/23/2007 Danzig show conveys many of the same sentiments I expressed in my own; primarily, major disappointment about the complete lack of Misfits songs.
- NEWS: Baltimore Citypaper: Glenn Danzig Takes a Spill
- This is the first item that came up in my Google Alert for “danzig misfits rams head”. Yes, I made a Google Alert, because I was curious to hear what other people had to say about the show. This article is where I found out about the RockN Roll Experience review (linked above), so thanks to
- NEWS: Washington Post: Danzig Isn’t Up to Playing the Fall Guy
- While it’s sort of cool seeing this covered in a major newspaper, I think journalist Chris Richards sensationalized it a little bit too much. He spoke of “Watching that killer set climax with Complete. Danzig. Meltdown.” but I think that calling it a complete meltdown is quite a stretch. I was right there, and did not even realize he was being grumpy and yelling at people. I may have seen a little bit of that, but if I did, it was not significant enough to remember. Maybe it was more obvious to people that were closer to the stage (I was about 10 people back, and to the side), but I wouldn’t call it a complete meltdown, because it didn’t cause the whole show to grind to a halt. I’ve been to a good number of concerts, before, and it’s not that unusual for a singer to walk off the stage, and come back within a minute. Glenn may have been in a pissy mood, but he did keep playing, and I thoroughly enjoyed it when he sang songs from my favorite Danzig albums (the first 4 albums). I just wish he could have done at least one Misfits song. No offense intended to Chris Richards, though. I actually really enjoyed reading the article. :)
More to come as I read them. Feel free to post links to other articles you’ve read, in the comments section!
