Love me some Danzig, love me some Misfits, but yeah... you don't have to look very hard on YouTube to find videos about how much of a tool Glenn Danzig is in real life. If it's still up, there used to be a video about Danzig's Evil Bricks (a pile of bricks he left in his front yard for a long time until neighbors began complaining). There's one story in particular where Danzig refused to go on stage during a music festival because he said he wasn't feeling well, then because the stage was too small, then because there weren't wind screens... and eventually when he did go on, he intentionally went on late (knowing there was a noise curfew) and then tried to get people to riot and blamed it on the promoters. His movies are shit as well. I watched "Verotika" and it gave terrible movies a bad name (IMDB has it at 1.9/10). I haven't seen his second movie yet ("Death Rider in the House of Vampires").
Danzig's last two albums were garbage. Both were recorded and produced in his home studio and it's obvious (1) his voice is blown out, and (2) he refuses to pay for a producer. That said, all the Misfits stuff and most of the early Danzig stuff (at least through 4p) are pretty great, even if the guy is a bit of a doof.
