That photo is terrifying: For a second, I thought you put up a photo of my old college roommate. If you put a wig and a pleather shirt on him, he'd look JUST LIKE Glenn Danzig. He was always a big hit with the chicks at Goth Nite.

I think Billy Idol doesn't take himself as seriously as Danzig does. So I guess I mean Billy isn't so secret about it.

I love the stuff he does when he goes outside of his "genre". Thirteen for Johnny Cash's first American Recordings album, awesome. Black Aria was great and had the added benefit of disturbing the roommates. I can't wait for Black Aria II to come out, it's time for my girlfriend to take her next step into my so-called dark musical tastes (she was a nice Catholic girl). The Rammstein videos aren't freaking her out any more.

Not for nothing, Danzig 1 and Danzig 2; Lucky Fudge were AMAZING!. Wait when you said cartoonish did you mean cause he was on Aqua Teen Hunger?

Wasn't Danzig one of the guys, along with the Cult's Ian Astbury, pegged as an heir to Jim Morrison back in the late '80s, when all the kids were obsessing over No One Here Gets Out Alive?

Personally, I always classed him with Billy Idol in the tattooed-and-pierced-dude-who'd-secretly-do-a-mean-Bing Crosby category.

SO cool that you put this up. This soundtrack was actually the first CD I picked up when the family got a CD player for the first time -- had seen the film and wanted the music. I'd never heard of Danzig at all and I just remember thinking this was a pretty spectacular track on an album that had a lot of them (Bangles obv., but Poison doing Kiss, Slayer doing Iron Butterfly, Anthrax, Public Enemy!).

Danzig actually is kinda on the album twice -- he cowrote the Roy Orbison song "Life Fades Away," which I always figured was exactly where Rick Rubin first twigged to the eventual Johnny Cash blueprint of his.
