ooooh how i wish Jerry only would get his head out of his ass and do the real misfits gig, just like the old days, they all want to do it, Jerry is the one that dont....
danzig only got doyle in the band for awhile cuz he was scared danny from northside kings was ganna kick his ass again and he wanted doyle around to protect him
actually my band opened for the misfits on october 15th of this year at the alrosa villa, and even though we didnt get to talk to danzig(obviously), we learned the meaning from talking to Jerry, Dez, and Goat(no robo isnt drumming for them recently), we are 138 was based on george lucas's first movie, THX-1138, watch the movie, listen to the lyrics, makes perfect sense, not to mention, you cant argue with someone who talked to the Misfits, even though theres only one original member
@soadfan4792 One of the few people who I have seen answer that question correctly... Good sir... X) Also, if you do some research into the boxset, you'll find this answer I think...
This is how a Misfits concert SHOULD be by now. A LEGION of fans screaming the lyrics and throwing their fists in the air. Instead we have Jerry Only playing gazebo's with his Misfits/Black Flag cover band.
@Renthefaceless I saw the "gazebo" cover band last week and while I went in not expecting much of anything at all they actually kicked some pretty significant ass, all things considered. WAY better than the show Danzig put on a couple weeks before.
Saw 'em live in Melbourne in '06 (i think). FUCKING EPIC. Fun Fact: after a few Danzig tracks, there was a lull and Danzig was bantering on....I started a chant/heckle from the back of the room...!One Thirteee Eight!!One Thirteee Eight! etc....Danzig squints back towards me in a quizzical fashion, finishes his banter, then starts: "We are 138!" and enter stage right at full tilt and airborne, DOYLE!!!! FUCKING GREATEST MOMENT IN HISTORY, my friends!!!!!!!! X)
According to Jerry the song is a reference to THX-1138. Orson Wells if I remember correctly. According to Glenn the song is about violence. Therefore, the song is about violence.
If Danzig still has rights to play these songs, why not just incorporate them into normal sets, or even start a band with former members of the Misfits, even if Jerry isn't a part of it?...
It's pretty common knowledge that its inspired by the 1971 Lucas film...THX 1138. Read the lyrics, watch teh movie or just read what it's about... it makes enough sense
i hate how everyone fights over what this song means. jerry only wrote it with danzig, and both of them say different shit cause they hate each other. get over it. it's just a good song.
@BreakingGlass77 Dude, just do all of us who have been there a fucking favor. Shut your mouth when it comes to shit you know nothing about. "THX-1138"......
@AchromaticAdulation You really are this ignorant aren't you? Give yourself 5 minutes away from jerking off to gay porn and do some research. Google will return results whether you are searching for "dudes with big dicks" or "THX-1138". What a fuking moron you are.
@BreakingGlass77 we are 138 glenn wrote this song about a film THX 1138 its about capitalism u know ppl work like a robots bla bla bla its my favourite song misfits was a true punk rock band songs include some social things that goin on in life
don't usually believe in chain comments, but this one is pretty cool. u don't need to do it, but when u read it, u might smile. :)There are 20 angels in this world10 are sleeping9 are playing1 is reading thisput this on 4 video comments within 15 mins,if u do, sum one u love will surprise u sum how!! If u don't , u will lose ur love.! Sorry but that is one thing i wouldnt risk losing
When asked about What "We are 138" is about, Glenn responded "They didn't write it and they don't know what the fuck its about it. It's about violence."
Good question, the best answer I have found is that Glenn wrote the song about George Lucas' THX1138 movie, which is about androids that are programmed to murder, and the lyrics fit this. I think it is about the fact that we are all animals inside..capable of the most horrific acts...almost like we are programmed to do bad shit, we are what we are in other words. Either way it is a bad ass song and it has deeper menaing than that to me but I only have so many characters to write about it.
you guys are half right. that is where the lyrics come from, but the original misfits fiend club had only 138 members, this is a tribute to them. the parts about androids are kinda of a "go out and kill" reference to that movie. kind of like the manson family, only its just part of the show, he's not serious..... or is he?
i missed the entire Misfits era from 77-'83. And now, i find out that i missed a chance to watch Danzig and Doyle play "We Are 138" in Philly in 2005. OK, i am going to cry now because i suck so fucking badly. I hope i get one final chance to watch Danzig and the Misfits on a final tour. Please, gods of music, give me one final chance. I love the early Misfits music. Inspirational!
I agree with PaulKersey108 that this song gives me shivers. 100% awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Doyle beat his Annihilator so bad,guitar is crying,wailing,praying NO MORE!!!!Like someone bellow sad this guy knows what rock is about...DOYLE IS THE SHIT
for every fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1this is a fact doyle was in the misfits sinds 1980 till danzig left the band so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yes doyle and danzig know each other from that time.damn kraigus are you from the south pole??????????first learn facts than talk.there is even footage of that time playing together
Are you kidding me? there's a lot of videos of danzig and doyle playin together in misfits.. and I know about Robo, he recorded Earth A.D. & Wolfsblood.. and dez cadena from black flag and aaall the story but.. I'm only sayin that I wanted to see doyle and only together at least.. with graves or with danzig.. or with only.. I already seen the show of misfits here, it was a couple of weeks.. it was kinda cool..
dude u are a true dumbass danzig and doyle did play together at the same time and with robo aswel in fact theres footage of it on youtube and evil live stuff is that line up. and dez sux either way
actually yeah, robo kinda was an original member he left and came back several times, and he is the current drummer. I like doctor chud tho. I think he has a cool style and good energy
We are 138, now thats some real Misfits. Sorry Jerry you can't do that
