GLENN DANZIG On Bands Coming Again After Farewell Reveals: “It is Sort Of A Rip-off, I Assume”

You understand the drill at this level in terms of “farewell exhibits” – they often solely imply farewell for just a few years, till there is a seven-figure paycheck for a headlining competition slot or demand for a tour. Some bands is perhaps fantastic with that, however Glenn Danzig is not.

In an interview with Wired In The Empire, Danzig stated he feels that remaining exhibits ought to really be remaining and never simply introducing a brief hiatus. “Yeah, I do not know. I imply, I keep in mind when Danzig went out with Ozzy, that was alleged to be his remaining tour,” he stated. “After which he is accomplished a bunch of ultimate excursions since then. So I do not know.

“If it is gonna be remaining, it ought to be remaining. In case you say it is gonna be remaining… You will see all these bands [announcing what they say will be] the final tour, after which they’re again once more two years later. And it is sort of a rip-off, I believe. So, when it is remaining, and if I say it is remaining, it will be remaining.”

I can see either side of this. On one hand, bands cannot predict the longer term and the way they’re going to really feel about reforming down the highway. Alternatively, do not make it sound such as you’re by no means coming again and make followers spend all this cash to see you, solely to reunite just a few years later.

As for Danzig, he stated he is preserving his phrase on solely doing the occasional present or string of exhibits. “Proper now, just about what I’ve stated is sort of what I am doing. I do not actually tour anymore. I will do a string of exhibits, which I do not think about a tour. If it is, like, you realize, six to 10 exhibits, I do not actually think about {that a} tour.

“Once I used to exit on tour, we’d exit for 3 or 4 months at a time, come residence for a few weeks or a month after which return out once more for an additional couple of months. That is touring, the place you are hitting each metropolis in america or in Germany or Europe or Scandinavia, wherever you are going. That is a tour. I imply, that is only a small string of exhibits right here on the West Coast.”
