Why did michael graves quit the misfits

That seemed like a far cry from the death punks whose fascination with old gore flicks went hand in hand with a fascination with the very real terror of the violent world. Chud are two of the most enjoyable pieces of horror punk out there. By the time the majority of rock fans woke up to them, the Misfits were mostly a band loved by skater punk kids and splatter movie-obsessed metalheads.

Graves himself was unfamiliar with the band when he decided to try out, and apparently bought and listened to Collection I and II on his Walkman to learn about their music. What Graves lacked in grit, he made up for in his vocal range and songwriting abilities.

But it was the way he broke down song structure, and the mid-paced croon-heavy singles he was behind, that really changed the game for the band. It was something that, in his stone-faced seriousness, Danzig could never do. Amercan Psycho is a chuggy, celebratory horror punk album with a ton of earnest soul and lofty ambition. Doyle made a smart move of updating his playing and guitar tone, adding thick helpings of groove metal soul and pop-punk creaminess to his riffs. The sticking point on why that fell apart was that Doyle wanted to bring his wife out on tour and wouldn't bend from it because Gorgeous George or Gorgeous Frankenstein or whatever she is called had to be a part of the MISFITS.

Jerry didn't even want Chud in the band. Chud is a waste of human life, BUT he certainly deserved to be a part of situation that was being put together. I was the one that was sticking up for him even though he really doesn't deserved to be stuck up for.

They only give you half-truths and they don't want to talk about me. You're not allowed to bring up my name in front of them because they can't hash their stories because they are on the fuckin' losing end of it. I wouldn't have stuck up for them the way that I did, always more so than helping myself. But that is the way that I am and that is the way I treat people and the way that I conduct business. Those guys are different or at least they have changed a lot.

So, I was always working. The experiences that I had, the good times and the bads, the difficult ones… The times that I went through had a profound effect on me. Everybody along the way has to make decisions about their integrity, and their values and who they want to be. Everybody has an idea of what their destiny is, or everybody should have an idea what they want their destiny to be.

The difficult thing is how to get there. Probably more so than I even realise. But it was a very long time ago — so we were curious about the big question: have they discussed the problems since then?

For me, I forgive all the things that I held onto back then, what is done is done. For me or for anybody in their life it is very important to move forward and be able to forgive.

So it takes the chains off of you. Sure, I wrote a lot of it but without Jerry, Doyle or Chad… Together we did that, together we made those sounds and we brought it to life for everyone. Art by Fausto Dalla Chiara. My beliefs have never changed. When I was in my teenage years, like everybody, I began to look into other religions out of curiosity, but I could have never been a non-Christian.

But I do not belive that you necessarily have to follow the rules of a certain religion, if it makes you feel sad in your heart. My relationship with God, and my spirituality is in my music. Even just questioning and seeking the face of God is exactly what God wants us to do. I think, I believe that there needs be a lot more. In my country especially. After I left Misfits, I lost everything. Which is okay. Because in my life, even since I was small, bonded in my spirituality and in my belief in Jesus and in God.

I live my life in victory. I belive that we are the head, not the tail, we are above and not below. But the mark of success, and the mark of victorious moments like now, where I could look back and remember those tough times, and saying: everything is going to be alright.

Some people look behind themselves in their whole life, and they never look forward, and see the future. In my country a lot of people look to the past, and live their life from there, live their life in the past.
