“…in 78 they said a punk band would never headline madison square garden. so here the fuck we are. not only did we headline and bring some of our favorite bands with us - we sold the motherfucker out. thank you, everybody, for proving all those fucking assholes back then who hated punk rock wrong. you all know i love this city. i grew up here, all these guys here - we grew up here and played here. this is bittersweet for both of us. doyle, dave, acey. alright let’s fuck shit up, this is called 20 eyes…”
I’ve seen the Misfits live twice, once in New Jersey and once at Madison Square Garden. The first time I saw them, I was a little disappointed in the sound quality. I know Danzig is notoriously difficult to understand even at the best of times, but I really couldn’t make out a goddamn thing he was saying for most of the show, and I was wondering if it was the Prudential Center or if Glenn had gotten a little rusty. After seeing them at MSG though, I have to say it was definitely the Prudential Center. The Misfits put on an awesome show, and I feel really lucky to have been there to hear the above quote in person. The Misfits live at Madison Square Garden, and I got to be a part of it? How the hell did that happen?
