About this product Product Information Few bands in the past three decades have proven as affecting or exciting as the Misfits, the ferocious outfit that lurked in the shadows of suburban New Jersey and released a handful of pivotal underground recordings during their brief, tumultuous time together. Led by , a singer possessed of vision and blessed with an incredible baritone, the Misfits pioneered a death rock sound that would reverberate through the various musical subgenres that sprung up in their wake. This Music Leaves Stains now presents the full story behind the Misfits and their ubiquitous, haunting skull logo, a story of unique talent, strange timing, clashing personalities, and incredible music that helped shape rock as we know it today. James Greene, Jr. Music junkies of any stripe will surely find themselves engrossed in this saga that finally pieces together the full story of the greatest horror punk band that ever existed, though Misfits fans will truly marvel at the thorough and detailed approach James Greene, Jr. This Music Leaves Stains paints a picture so vivid, even the most pedestrian of music fans will find it interesting. In addition, there is a nearly thirty- page annotated discography, which lists studio recordings sorted by format, bootleg recordings, videos, Misfits related recordings, 'scrapped Misfits releases,' and descriptions of important films that influenced the Misfits. Greene's work will open up the possibility for more critical research regarding This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits Misfits This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits the future. However, as far as I know, this book is the first in-depth telling of the seminal Horror-Punks outta New Jersey. One of the best aspects of the book is that Greene doesn't side with Danzig or Only in their battle of egos and doesn't shy from straight talking about either Danzig or Only. He examines both characters' idiosyncrasies, the hypocrisy that exists between comments usually said to appease their own ego or acts This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits downright stupidity. The book is filled out with an excellent discography, detailed notes on the origin of much of what is printed, films that influenced the band and the obligatory preface, acknowledgements and index. Greene's telling is factual and This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits in either Danzig's or Only's favour and that makes it a balanced read. Green's annotated Misfits discography at to at the back of the book is worth its weight in gold, in light of the fact that the Misfits have had so many rumored releases over the years. At the same time, it moves along more like a novel than a biography. Certainly the Misfits have seen their share of inner band upheavals, mainly when Danzig left for more lucrative offers and bigger fame. Through it all, that Crimson Ghost logo has survived decades, glaring out from stage banners, EP covers and even sneaker endorsements. Casualties' have waited for. It's also a tome they'll wish they'd written themselves. Green makes chronicling the chaos look easy, his enthusiasm and love for the music seeping into his prose. The story is so visceral and compelling that one can imagine the events unfolding onscreen as a major motion picture. This Music Leaves This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits is a. Misfits missalette that gets to the heart of the seminal scare band's long-lasting and outlines the precise reasons why they still connect with audiences some thirty years after they first warned the world to 'Beware. James Greene Jr. The page count may be thin, but content's thick, the author accurately and respectfully telling the tale of how Jerry Only and a cast of several channeled Glenn Danzig's obsessions with murder, blood, horror comics, and trashy horror films into a potent, powerful, and melodic strain of distinctly the Misfits' own. Colored vinyl 45s like "" and "London Dungeon" were the most vicious sing-alongs around, and the graphic presentation brilliant, as was the band's down-market Kiss presentation. Thankfully, Greene Jr. All the warts are here, from Danzig's French onion soup at Fun Fun Fun Fest to Only's licensing the Misfits logo to any chintzy tchotchke possible. Show More Show Less.

I knew little to nothing about the Misfits going into this book. I was in diapers while they were donning ghoulish facepaint and devilocks. A few years ago though I discovered Danzig's immaculate voice and haven't been able to shake it; that man could sing the alpha "Beauty Damaged and Slightly Unclean A few years ago though I discovered Danzig's immaculate voice and haven't been able to shake it; that man could sing the alphabet and make it sexy. Anyway, This Music Leaves Stains is an interesting mix of cultural history, music criticism, and meticulously compiled soap opera saga. I enjoyed the presentation of the pop culture that preceded the punk movement and inspired the band. I also like the way in which Greene meticulously explained the origin and inspiration of Danzig's songwriting. The human aspect of the piece is great; I doubt that anyone who daydreams about musical "success" truly appreciates how much grueling work This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits how much time as in years, decades goes into creating a livelihood and marketable brand for oneself. Moreover, I was struck by the turmoil that's consumed these men for so many decades. After reading through this book, one can garner a certain appreciation for it though. Unlike a writer, painter, actor, music requires its own formula of collaboration, chalk full of blurred lines. It's not hard to see how emotions would run high, especially for any This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits who feels that their creation is being exploited. On a digressive note, I always feel weird as a reader reading a piece of material on persons still living, especially when it's written about someone, not by them. That being said, I felt as thought the author was attempting not to slander or paint any particular person in this book in an unfavorable light. Rather he quoted from and presented info as it was offered to him. The tone of the piece felt respectful. That being said, the bit about a sloshed Randy Savage attempting to confront Doyle for wooing his wife was hilarious! It's an engrossing book by one of the most unique bands ever created. Well worth the read! Oct 24, Nathan "N. I know I know Glenn Danzig and all that. What's yer favorite Misfits tune? View all 11 comments. Dec 22, Stephanie rated it it was amazing. My work here is This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits. Also, I noticed a minor mistake in the book, I emailed the author and he replied and was very nice, thanking me for letting him know, etc. Nov 03, Christopher Blosser rated it liked it Shelves: musicbiography. All in all, a pretty decent "musical bio" of the infamous punk band with a fascination for the macabre, with amusing historical anecdotes and plenty of detail to captivate a Misfits fan I first heard The Misfits in when I was thirteen years old courtesy of a few cassettes made for me by older friends. A and so forth This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits three or four by The Misfits. I liked those songs very much but had no idea who this band was nor any clue as to their horror imagery or legacy. Being young I first heard The Misfits in when I was thirteen years old courtesy of a few cassettes made for me by older friends. Being young and living in a small town, I had no idea how to go about obtaining more recordings by any of these bands. Finally seeing pictures of this band, in addition to having heard a handful of songs I was madly in love with, cemented my utter and absolute need to hear more. In the summer ofI was fifteen years old and my buddy and I would take the bus to the mall and surrounding strip malls to buy music. I bought them up as fast as I could afford them, taking them home like revered relics and listening to and absorbing them in This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits bedroom. And I was hooked. Needless to say, all these years later, I jumped at the chance to read a full blown biography on The Misfits. This is a short bio. Of the pages, only are occupied with biographical info. In fact, nearly all the information in this book can be found somewhere on the internet. It lies now more than ever. Regardless, if you have internet access, you more or less have everything in this book. Which is to say it should have been longer. Much longer. This Music Leaves Stains could have used more quotes from band members. I would have loved to read more about the various recording sessions, what went on, how things were done. More info on the tours, what bands they played with, what cities they played in. If you consider that the last several chapters are devoted to what happened after The Misfits disbanded inthere is a sense of incompleteness. There are, however, a lot of great stories, like when The Misfits invited ' mom to a recoding session, shortly after her son's death, because they didn't think she should be alone. Or the arrest at the New Orleans cemetery. Or the arrest in England from whence sprang "London Dungeon. There are a ton of Misfits pictures out there and it would have been more interesting as a reader of there were shots of the various lineups. Perhaps Greene could only get permission to use these seven pictures. Still, this is a very well done biography and the only one of its kind. I would highly recommend this to any Misfits fan, as well as fans of Samhain, Danzig and even those of you who are into the later Misfits. Jan 27, Chris rated it liked it.
