  • Nothing beats the original Misfits as far as horrorpunk goes but Graves was pretty good in the 90's version of the Misfits and even better as a solo artist. Michale Graves Illusions album in a masterpiece in my opinion. It's a slow acoustic album but yet haunting and beautiful. Any of you that haven't heard it yet do yourself a favor because that album changed my life and it made me expand my listening preferences to different artists. I also have met Graves and he's a he'll of nice guy. Keep o

  • you sing great! i love misfits both with danzig as with you, but you should throw that acoustic guitar to rubbish and get yourself a loud band! greetings from macedonia!

  • I met graves back when he was still with the Misfits, great guy, hes really nice

  • I know real fiends prefer Glen,nothing against Graves.And as far as assholes go I see nothing wrong whatsoever with Danzig being one.He's earned that right.The man knows his shit.LHP FOREVER!!

  • I prefer Graves...purely based on the fact that the sound was faster and heavier. Danzig is still the shit in his own right tho. Fiend4life

  • Graves is a cutie pie :D

  • I prefer Graves to Danzig. They were both just as good to listen to on the recorded material but Graves was a shit load more exciting to watch live.

  • Graves rules!!!

  • I saw the Misfits twice with Michael Graves, once in '97 and again in '99. I've also seen Danzig twice, '93 and in '94. As much as Danzig was great, I though Graves had much more stage presence, he engaged the crowd on a much more intimate level and I think he's a better singer. Plus he's not an asshole like Glenn has proven to be quite often...sorry Glenn.

  • Michale Graves is ..........

  • I wonder what Danzig think about graves. don`t know if you can find an interview about that but if someone know something about that i`d like to hear it.

  • I like Michale Graves and all. But this video should be entitled, "Michale graves tweaking."

  • Graves & Danzig both rule it. On a related note, fuck you Jerry Only. Guy is more worried about peddling lunchboxes and sneakers to kiddies than making decent music.

  • I like the Misfits with Micheal Graves, but I don't consider it the Misfits. You just can't replace a singer and writer like Danzig. Micheal seems like a good guy, it's Jerry that's a douche bag.

  • 2:06 the bald head guy sitting down is from the original hills have eyes. cool fact right?

  • Graves has a great attitude. I feel sorry that, for many years I didn't want to give the Graves fronted Misfits a chance.

    It's not as good. But it's still good. it's still excellent Horror Punk. It still has that same spirit, definitely.

  • graves rocks. he kept the misfits alive without overstepping his role. hes a humble and super talented guy!

  • the music in the backround freaks me out

  • Danzig > Graves

  • @Plissken501 I agree, in terms of "The Misfits", as a whole.

    In terms of vocal range/talent: Graves > Danzig > Only, by far.

  • The Misfits were lucky to have Michale Graves.

  • danzig and graves should do a show together with everyone but jerry, cause we all know jerry is the one who ruined the misfits and fucked everyone over

  • Carnival music?

  • I am Hawaiian 2:41

  • I personaly love Every "era" of the Misfits, Danzig and Graves both had their own sound that i love, and I think Jerry's doing pretty good with what he's been given.

  • @BariG94 are you serious? if he was doing a good job he would get a singer and maybe try to write some of his own songs. maybe the reason he doesnt write his own songs is that he sucks. did you know that he tried to sue michale graves for still playing the song "saturday night"? michale graves wrote that song when he was like 17.

  • @BariG94 And I got to be called "gay" for not taking sides on another video. I totally agree with you. I honestly didn't like Danzig much, but it's growing on me. And I've always liked Graves and Only. They're all going to be heroes to someone. Why the hell fight over who you like best? *Thumbs up*

  • @Pupuscums Exactly, I still own and listen to all their albums on a regular basis. And honestly I no longer like Danzig as a person, I feel he's become an egotistical jerk who's tried to get rid of everything he was and stab his ex-friends in the back (just an opinion), but I still listen to his stuff with the Misfits.

  • Huh. So that's what he really looks like.

  • this guy is awesome

  • Michael Graves didn't have an enviable task filling Glenn Danzig's role as the singer in the Misfits. I think he did as good a job as anyone could. I like him and I want to check out his solo efforts.

  • after i heard this i see this man is a great person. MIKE YOU ARE A SWEET ASS PERSON only real men would and can SPEAK IT RIGHT AND TRUTHFUL..

  • fuck that shit, mike patton filled in for faith no more and went further

  • I don't know why I thought he was gonna be cocky and arrogant, but I'm glad to see he's super humble and rsepectful to Glenn, that makes him even better to me.

  • Damn! Grave's voice is like golden silk!! I love Danzig and just met him the other night in Boulder and he can't be compared to but fucking Graves can sing! If I could sing like any one I wanted to it would be Michale Graves!!!

  • Michael Graves WAS good, but he lost it after only a couple of years... IMO...

    

  • this man seriously needs to go back to the misfits his voice suited the songs so well.

  • @Theblackmetalist Not really...He's better off doing his own thing. Of course, anything's better than Jerry trying to sing.

  • Does anyone knows the song in the background?

  • what is that crappy music playing in the background....???

    it turned this rare interview into a joke....

  • Is he high?

  • @adamrothraisdead as a motherfucking kite

  • @missfits78 you dumb fuck he just said hes not trying to replace glenn. grow the fuck up and learn to listen. i like danzig better myself but at least graves respects what glenn did.

  • @missfits78 fag

  • Why wouldn't anyone like Gravees? I mean, I love Danzig, he's the man...but Graves is a cool dude.

  • and before he joined the misfits he had never heard of them.

    what a posier

  • @causeofmyanger they wanted him in the band dumbass

  • is there a part one?

  • Looks like roman soldier.

  • humble dude.

    free the wm3

  • man i love him hes so sexy

  • @1010lindsey finally someone that agrees with me ;)

  • Graves is cool man.

  • Mother, teach your children not to call my name

  • what a top guy..

    

  • Michale kinda looks like Will Forte.

  • I really enjoy the Misfits with Glen Danzig, but I have to be honest I enjoy them more with Michael Graves as their front man. Famous Monsters is one of my favorite albums of all time and Helena definitely an all time great.

  • @mrsantana323 agree

  • @mrsantana323 I agree with you

  • Micheal Graves is so hot!!!! love u Micheal

  • I have spent some time with mike several times and he is one hell of a nice guy and very humble!! He is the real deal.

  • U can't talk shit on only

  • Will all due respect to Danzig and the classic Misfits lineup... American Psycho and Famous Monsters were AMAZING albums. The 95' lineup sounds so good and NEEDS to return, the two latest songs the Misfits, i mean Jerry released, SUCK.

  • THIS CASE ROTTS ME,THE POLICE RAILROAD THEM TO HELL,CORRUPT CASE,THE PROSECUTER FOGLEMAN CORRUPT AS HELL,HE HAD TO KNOW THEY WERE INNOCENCE,AND STILL CHARGE THEM BOYS,THE JUDGE BURNETT,YOU SIR SHOULD STEP DOWN,AND DO THE RIGHT THING,YOU HAVE 3 INNOCENCE BOYS LOCK UP FOR A MURDER THAT TERRY HOBBS DONE,AND NOW YOU KNOW THAT,GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET HIM,LET THEM BOYS NOW MEN GO HOME,YOU KNOW WHO THE REAL KILLER IS,GET OFF YOU ASS,AND DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ONCE,LET THEM GO HOME,CORRUPT CASE

  • Graves is the best, wish he would get back with the Misfits, at least Jerry is keeping it alive. Misfits forever

  • gotta respect him for the things he said.

  • GRAVES is my favorite singer from the misfits i think there songs were just better with him

  • GRAVES FTW

  • es un careta!

  • Graves knew he wasn't Danzig and he didn't try to be. Jerry Only did.

  • @KedViper pretty much he apreciates what danzig did and knows hell never be danzig as you said. now listen to jerry only sing he trys so hard to sound like danzig instead of having his own voice

  • @KedViper i hate jerry only on vocals

  • @oioioijellyroll it's so hokey an over dramatic

  • @KedViper Could not be said better.

  • thid dude didnt even know who the misfits were prior to joining.

  • @TheKrowProductions What does that prove? Like the rest of the members, he played his part well.

    The Misfits are like pro wrestling they all have characters and parts

  • @TheKrowProductions if anything, that was a good thing.

  • Danzig had his unique quality and so did Graves, so I agree on both singers.

    Also, look at the Dig Up Her Bones Misfits music video of Graves and then look at him now, big difference. XD

  • Never saw Michale without makeup. He's quite a handsome fellow.

  • *Glenn.

  • in the past two days the west memphis 3 have come up randomly in diffrent videos i have been watching and articles i have been reading completely unrelated to them eeerrryyyy

  • This guy always acts like he's stoned or something.

  • @soppetive he usally is lol

  • i like graves way better

  • I think if there is a god it would be michale graves.(though he wrote a song claiming he was lucifer).

    hes a great musician.

    he is friendly

    he was in the marines.

    he is conservative.(yayz!!!!)

    this guy is awsome.

  • Ahhhh I fucking Looove Graves. This dude is the Shit!!

  • Was this filmed in Dallas,Tx?

  • I love how mikey is so nice about it cuz he's way better than glen could ever be i mean sure i do like the work danzing did w/ da misfits and a few singles of his, BUT all the crap he pulled with jerry just makes him look like an idiot...witch he is and hes also a wimp cuz he got knocked out w 1 punch! XD

  • @2wicethepain like the guy in the video wouldnt have knocked you out in one punch either

  • i cant find part 1

  • sure ya did fag

  • graves was just better period.

  • Is that a piece of hair on his head?

  • Graves was a good singer and respects the Misfits legacy, and obviously respects what Glenn did. Jerry is the one that drove the name into the ground with fucking Misfits lunchboxes and panties and yo-yos and 1950's cover albums.

  • @KaneRobotHanson actually that's all glen he gets all the merch cuz he owns most of the misfits name only just owns the name as a touring band and he gets money from the albums not featuring glen

  • Ricooooooooooooo!

  • Danzig brought a different style that will never be repeated,,,,,,,,When graves stepped in he turned a hardcore punk band into almost childrens music, famous monsters was a true disaster. everysong on that CD sucked. except for helena wich is acceptable. but the misfits are now going downhill into hell. i dont hate Mike Graves personally but he killed the misfits

  • @Screamerific yo man no hate or anything but try to listen to american psycho and famous monsters with none of that "is it punk enough BS" and im pretty sure what happened to me will happen to you...GRAVES was the shit man...it was another misfits; a modern misfits which was adapting to a newer more melodic and produced punk sound..never the less i truly think it stayed credible..to me danzig misfits and graves misfits are two totally different bands..and i love both..danzig more tho ;)

  • @shaihuludxx great post and I agree completely. To me they sound like 2 different bands. I am a fan of both.

  • @Screamerific Mike didn't kill the misfits Jerry did

  • @streettitanz what did jerry do? i dont know much about them but all i know is that they were better with glenn

  • @Screamerific He made them commercial, he took over, the message got lost in jerry's obsession with the image, he kept everyone who remembered what the misfits were at an arms length. He saw that the misfits were still popular so he took the name so he could launch his own music career without starting at square one.

  • @streettitanz i can see what you mean but it might be both of them, maybe graves changed the vocals and jerry changed everything else, you got a good point man, cool.

  • @streettitanz Couldn't agree more.

  • ass

  • I loved graves misfits he made the misfits more chilling danzig was awsome but i like graves more buuut thats just me :)

  • Glenn>michael. Michael>Jerry. End of story.

  • The Danzig era of the misfits was more old school punk, and when Graves took it on he brought a new sound along with him. Graves took the misfits to a whole new level in the horror punk era. Graves and danzig are both Great singers and great guys in general.

  • graves and danzig are both greats, jerry is joke

  • he looks hot

  • whats up with his eyes?

  • I loved famous monsters but Danzig is overall better than Graves by far. Graves is just different it's like it's not even the same band.

  • i know right he`s more punk rock.

  • i think after watching this my whole perspective on graves has changed. he really does respect danzig

  • It's cool how graves is a gentleman about the whole glenn thing. Never really cared for the graves era misfits, but it's clear that Michael was the best thing about it, next to Doyle. Jerry is such a poke.

  • Agreed. I truly wonder what the 'fits would have been if Only wasn't such a douche.

  • @deadsinktohell true that man, Jerry fucked everything up

  • @deadsinktohell Does Jerry only bully and alienate everyone?

  • @inhocsignovinces88 Only people that give him crap.

  • He reminds me of Kevin Costner

  • @blackacid79 well, Danzig and Jerry Only fought in court over the Misfits name, and Jerry is able to use it with certain conditions (which are usually met), so Danzig doesn't solely own the name; and, Jerry Only bashes Danzig all the time, and he's still milking the Misfits name for all it's worth

  • graves isnt even in the misfits anymore...and fuck off if you dont like the graves era misfits. it was a totally different sounding band. graves has a lot of respect for danzig

  • @blackacid79 ur a fucking idiot lol go fuck ur cousin

  • yeh and danzig decided to leave,the band is called the misfits not danzig.Danzig is a great singer and I like him much but he is one of the biggest son of the bitches in the music industry.Btw graeves era was great as well.

  • @w1o5w6 hmm, the band was called the misfits, the band that glenn danzig formed- it was his band to break up if he wanted. the misfits were glenn danzig; jerry, doyle, robo those guys were just behind him on stage

  • Graves is awesome! very articulate & I luvs him!!

  • Danzig , graves both great one kept the legend alive the other a fucken icon

  • I like both graves and danzig . Jerry only is just a dick!

  • Fuck you! I can say that from personal experience, I know that Jerry Only is a really nice guy.

  • He is but he ruined a great band because of his greed.he should have ended it after doyles grave, and danzig left.

  • I dont like how this video goes from Graves talking about Danzig then Damien then Danzig again, etc. It's very confusing if you've never seen it before.

  • check out Doyles new band Gorgeous Frankenstein. Graves and Chud are getting involved with it as well.

  • Graves is involved? I only knew about Doyle and Chud

  • Anybody else see that movie Michale was in? "Perkins 14"?

  • @darkelite6667 I did.

  • It sucks he died!!!! He should have been a major character

  • @darkelite6667 Yeah. It was an awesome movie though.

  • graves is a great singer its a shame we will proabobly never see him with the misfits again..

  • who is damien?

  • Damien Echols.....he's one of the West Memphis 3 who were found guilty of murdering 3 kids but they are really innocent and the cops arrested them just cause they were different than everyone in the redneck town and they were like goth or metal fans. You need to watch the film Paradise Lost 1 and 2 and you will see.

  • the movie is called paradise lost??

  • Alot of the songs Graves wrote during Misfits era I absolutely love. Too bad a small part of them are played nowadays. If Danzig won't rejoin Misifts for the fans and not for a high sum of money then so be it, Graves would still be awesome to see perform with Misfits again.

  • danzig was as michale says an icon.... but that is only becuase he came b4 michale as the fits have had terrible luck w/ lead singers and drummists .... but i must say here it is cut and dry glenn after the fits was a great vocalist and during the misfits era michale was the best writer / lyricisit

    cuz during the time of the fitz when danzig was there he just did it

  • basially glenn was there first and is iconic lead singer my fav to this day but..... michale is a much better writer and just as good lead singer love ur accoustic album man

  • mr graves u say u know and continue to know the legacy of the fits ...... i love jerry only desperatrly trying to bring back the fits which he could so well if he had u .... he is not a lead singer ... u are not only one of the greatest .... whhhooaaaa ... whoooaaa..... and i think u wrote fiend club to boot ? ...... neways name ur band the fiend club try to get jerry and dez involved in some way

  • 1:25 - 1:37

    Graves just burned all you gay ass graves haters out there

  • Michale graves cant redo it, He can just TAKE IT AND MAKE IT SUPER BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it looks like that blonde chick in the back has some nice boobs

  • Yeah, I LOVE Danzig. I'm as big of a Danzig fan as they get. BUT I never disliked Graves at all. He's a nice guy and darn it, he's a good vocalist too! Graves never had a problem with Danzig, and Danzig never had a problem with Graves. The only problem is Jerry Only lol

  • But Graves came out and said the problem wasn't Jerry.

    He said it was between Chud and Doyle.

    Regardless,it looks like all the problems have been resolved.

  • @seanB81 Damn right.

  • I went to the Misfits show in NYC on halloween for the second time in my life and I thought to myself if i got to see any misfits lineup I COULD NOT choose! Graves, Danzig, or Only it doesn't matter the misfits would not be who they are without everyone who was ever in the lineup! Im just happy to have any of the misfits still doing shows in my time!!!

  • I hate graves haters graves is a great guy he did nothing wrong danzig got tired of misfits and put graves in charge.

  • Comparing this guy to Glenn is like comparing Billy Grahm to Jesus Christ,or Tim Mcgraw( is that his name) to Johnny Cash.

  • Hate Jerry not Michale....

    just because ur a DANZIG fan , doesnt mean u have to hate this guy, its just different,...

    Danzig=ROCK

    Graves=Punk

  • I like danzig, and i like graves to, MISFITS FOREVER..

    GRAVES AND DANZIG FOREVER

  • You have a point XD Thay should start something together o.o.. that would e kinda gnarly... anyways thumbs up dude

  • Is glen michales dadY?:O

  • insporational.

  • Respect him for saying this, but uh where's part one?

  • I think this is a good vid for the Graves haters/Danzig lovers to watch. It will help the old skool misfits fans accept Graves as a good, down to earth guy, and a good contributtion to the Misfits. Michale talkes about the graves/danzig eras being two totally seperate things, and I totally agree. If your a hardcore Danzig era fan you can carry on that way, thats totally cool. But dont talk shit about Graves being a fag and stuff cuz " Its two totally different things ". Respect them both.

  • what has danzig done for comics

  • someone should re-edit this because it seems like he talks about danzig, then damien, then danzig, then damien. it's kind of confusing if you're watching it for the first time.

  • ...... so ... where's part 1 of this ?

  • i dont hate him as much as i did before
