30+ Hilarious Glenn Danzig Memes
Glenn Danzig is an American singer, songwriter and artist who rose to prominence in the 1980s as the founder, lead vocalist and primary songwriter of the horror punk and heavy metal band The Misfits. His distinctive musical style combined elements of punk, gothic rock and heavy metal into a sound that was both fierce and captivating. Now, let’s get to the Danzig memes!
I got sumthin to say! I bought kitty litter today!
Originally from Lodi, New Jersey, Danzig formed The Misfits in 1977 when he was 19 years old. Initially committed to a DIY ethic with no major label backing, the group quickly gained a cult following due to their unique blend of horror-inspired melodies and aggressive yet melodic vocals. By 1983 they had become one of America’s most popular underground acts, selling out shows in many cities across the country.
Glenn Danzig or Sigourney Weaver?
Throughout his career with The Misfits Danzig would go on to write some of their most iconic songs such as “Night Of The Living Dead”, “Die Die My Darling” and “Mommy Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight?” These compositions earned them a loyal fanbase while also influencing countless bands that followed in their footsteps.
After disbanding The Misfits in 1983 due to internal differences between members, Danzig went on to form his own record label in 1988 called Plan 9 Records which released multiple albums over the next few years. He also started several successful projects including Samhain (1984–1987) which blended rockabilly and heavy metal influences; Danzig (1987–present), an industrial-metal project; and Verotik (1995–present), a dark comic book company founded by himself.
Is it weird we all know who this is without seeing his face?
Glenn Danzig has since been cited as an influence by numerous musicians from various genres including Metallica frontman James Hetfield who stated: “If it wasn’t for Glenn Danzig I wouldn’t be here today” – testament to his enduring legacy as one of America’s greatest punk icons!
OMG Incredible
When Elvis Presley arrived on his plane home from war there was a mob of people to welcome him back. Among the crowd was a homeless mother and her starving baby. Elvis hugged them both, then took the baby from the mother. Elvis unbuttoned his uniform jacket and fed the baby from his own breast. That baby was Glenn Danzig.
Whoa you guys!!!!

That One Time I went to Danzig’s ‘Blackest of The Black’ Fest
The year is 2017.
Just as I was finishing up my showpiece black jacket for Monsterpalooza (the jacket became the prototype for the Fraktur Mark-II jacket), I found out about Glenn Danzig’s Blackest of the Black Fest, and thought, “Wow. A concert festival with a line-up of industrial & metal bands. This jacket would be perfect for this event!” I sent an email to the vendor coordinator and sent in an application for their largest vendor space – a 10′ x 20′ spot for $999.
I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into, and communication with the staff was slim, but I decided to take the risk since I felt confident in my offerings. With 20 jackets and a ton of other clothing, apparel & accessories, I got into my rental van on May 26th and headed out for Oak Canyon Park (Silverado, CA).
Arriving at the park, I noticed there was a parking lot and fenced-off camping area outside of the main event area. The main event area, which we were given a pass to drive into, was a grassy area with trees where all the vendors, installations and huge twin stages were set up. The weather was quite pleasant and the oak trees by the lake seemed like a perfect venue for Glenn Danzig’s horror-occult-influenced music festival (sponsored by Wienerschnitzel).
The guys from 3Teeth walked by as the final preparations were made to open the festival gates. Slowly, people shuffled in and started partaking in the festival. 3Teeth opened the line-up (anyone who knew who they were felt they should have had a better place in the schedule), and were followed by a number of metal bands, finally ending in a set by Suicidal Tendencies.
The turnout never quite exploded that evening, and as we found out eventually, Danzig’s Blackest of the Black did not seem to be very well attended at all that weekend. As someone who ran and attended Wasteland Weekend for 7 years at this point, I felt like Saturday’s turnout was maybe 1000. Friday was fewer. Given some of the acts on stage, I felt it was highly likely that this festival was a financial loss.
As for causes of the low turnout, some speculated that holding the festival on Memorial Day weekend was not the best call. Also, it was held on Friday & Saturday, while the 3-day holiday weekend ended on a Monday. Most potential attendees may have simply decided to go out of town, or to attend that weekend’s other event: Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas.
The highlights of the festival for me were running into other wastelanders at the festival, selling a mesh dress to Glenn Danzig’s girlfriend, and watching Ministry‘s whole set.
In the end, the vending experiment resulted in a loss. With the high cost of the vendor space, van rental and a night at a hotel, I did not sell enough to even break even. I hope Danzig’s Blackest of the Black continues, and gets a lot bigger turnout in the future. In the meantime, I am going to keep my eyes on Knotfest since the turnout there seems to be significantly higher, and would probably still be a great audience to show my stuff to.
Update: Blackest of The Black never did return. I guess it really was a flop. I did go to Knotfest, and while I didn’t do amazingly, I did break even.
The company that organized Blackest of The Black, SGE Inc, continued to promote various festivals for two more years, before calling it quits, citing challenges turning a profit. 2019 was an excellent year to pull the plug, as it turned out.
These days (2024) it seems Cruel World Festival is what’s carrying the torch, in southern California at least.
