  • We are 138, now thats some real Misfits.  Sorry Jerry you can't do that

  • WE ARE 138

  • song is about the movie thx 1138.

  • @disgust82 yes you are absolutely correct...for those of you who don't know THX1138 is George Lucas' 1st movie he ever directed.

  • Philly rules !!!!

  • dude what cam you using ??? awesome video !!

  • Fuck Lonely Only and his Misfits cover band.

    These guys here are 138.

  • 2 people like to fuck sheep

  • I just watched this 7 times in a row.. Amazing..

  • 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....

  • i will be saluting this song in October when i see Danzig and Doyle live

  • i know what 138 means,,how do i know?he told me..

  • 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

  • dansig is better live than the misfits

  • And big thanks to slashgda1234 for separating this into individual tracks/videos!

  • It means what the fuck you want it to mean! Just listen to it and enjoy the fuckin' song!

  • i saw them live in 2005 in bozeman montana shit was the brutalist thing ever

  • And it is about the movie, I know first hand, from Danzig himself circa 1991...

  • great version. 

  • you see Jerry, that, is how it's done...

  • the guitarist in my band his second name is doyle and every song is inspyred by the misfits and we do covers

  • 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...

  • does anyone really know why 138?? always wandered about that.........

  • 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.

  • real misfits

  • We aaaarrrrrreeeeeee!!!!!!!! ......138!!!!

  • That's fucking awesome to hear Danzig sing 138 after so long and especially having Doyle out there playing with him. Fuckin' dope!

  • 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.

  • @138bdfowler  George Lucas. Awesome moview.

  • 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?...

  • wow, this is what the misfits would've been like had they stayed together

  • @Breakingglass77 : you are wrong. HAFA74 is right. so that makes at least 3 people that actually know what this song is about.

  • My nips are hard!!!

  • 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

  • Yes, its based on THX 1138. :) cool movie, awesome song

  • Glen wrote it

  • 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.

  • blackest of the black tour MOTHER FUCKERS

  • Only ONE person knows exactly what this song is about: Glenn Danzig.

  • @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 Are you Glenn Danzig? No? Did you write the song? Then how about you shut YOUR fucking mouth about shit you dont know about.

  • @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 sceience fiction movie. THX1138. one of george lucas's fisrt movies.

  • @BreakingGlass77 Yes, and it is about VIOLENCE! haha

  • @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

  • @BreakingGlass77 and me : thx 1138

  • one of the best songs

  • Glen Danzig is my fuckin hero

  • *wipes tear from eye* :p

  • nice

  • It's so beautiful!

  • doyle trashes guitars i ve seen GF twice and at the end of both shows he smashed his guitar off his amps

  • 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."

  • It's based on the George Lucas movie THX-1138. It's about a time in the future when people are known by numbers instead of names.

  • sounds like now

  • HOLY SHIT!!! That guitar never stood a chance against Doyle's onslaught. Coolest. Style. Ever.

  • No one knows what it means. Glenn has never officially given an explanation. All explanations are rumor, or past band members theories!

  • i just like playin the song, its about the easiest song i know but its also the funnest, specially when you play it like they do here lol

  • its a movie

  • what does 138 mean?

  • i think 138 is the police code for drunk and disorderly

  • 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.

  • It from an old George Lucas movie

  • 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.

  • My god will doyle ever lose his freaking cuts? Hes been ripped ever since he was like born

  • we are one dirty ape ^_^

  • I would have been crying if I was there. It gives me the shivers too

  • @PaulKersey108 me too man, me too , better than the misfits nowadays

  • @PaulKersey108 I was there. I actually shat myself from the pure incredibility.

  • this is fucking GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dos palabras....

    THE MISFITS

  • ... there will come a time, - we will be just 138 !

  • 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

  • this video gives me shivers...

    fuckin amazing...

    the crowd singing along at the start is amazing

  • Man Doyle makes that guitar his bitch! That would be so fucking badass to see.

  • Doyle kicks phukkin ASS!!!

  • Doyle makes all of the other band members look like tools. That man knows what Rock is FUCKING about!

  • In the eyes of tiiiiggeeerrrrrr!

  • I would die happy to see danzig and doyle perform this song together

  • 138

  • That was pretty good, a sheme jerry only didnt play...

  • Jerry Only is the hypocrite bastard that destroyed the Misfits time and time again..This song wasnt just good it was badass..

  • 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

  • WHERE?

  • search for (meet the misfits) early footage of them

  • this is the closest we're gonna get to a Danzig-Misfits reunion

  • If it aint Danzig, It's not the Misfits. Nuff Said!

  • if doyle and danzig would come to argentina instead jerry only with that another two guys.. FUCK I'M GOING!!

  • ????????????????????

  • 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..

  • glad i'm not the only one who knows the history of the band

  • Hahaha.. cheers

  • yeah same to you ;)

  • 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

  • wtf u talkin bout? doyle and danzig were in the misfits at the same time

    robo isnt an origional member

  • 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

  • if u see an interview it says "we got a new drummer his name is robo"

  • but if u look at the old videos of the misfits with danzig its robo

  • after he says hes got a new drummer of course

  • Shit for brains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • We are 138 is like people being treated as androids is about the future, having a number instead of a name based on George

    Lucas first sci-fi movie "THX-1138."

  • according to an account by jerry only, the android story is true,

    b8t danzig is quoted as saying" i wrote the song , only hasnt a clue what its about"

  • Glenn Danzig said it was something his friend and him came up with that meant that you could be able to kill without a second thought.

    138 its code.

  • It's a kickass song, but does it mean anythin?

  • We are 138 in the eyes of society.

  • Oh yeahh WE ARE 138

  • gets better every fucking time

  • that was crazy

  • Fucking awesome.
