The Misfits - Safe For Children (1978 - 1983)

thanks.

and he is right.

SAVE YR DISDAIN BRO. the fact that he includes tracks from NEVER released 12 HITS FROM HELL as well as the MOST awesome DEMONOMANIA...should be APPLAUDED.

Thanks very much, I've been enjoying this all day!

You're very welcome! Too bad I'm a procrastinator and you're enjoying it a day too late.

Last time I saw the Misfits the singer was lip-synching and the band was playing (or pretending to play) to a backing track. Very fucking weak. Also very true.
-- GBro (gdenzi...), November 1st, 2005.

I'm betting this was not during 1978 - 1983?

And incidentally, any Misfits compilation that is missing "Angelfuck" (like yours) should be viewed with suspicion and, if necessary, disdain.
-- Alex in NYC (vassife...), November 1st, 2005.

I'll quote my own info file that's in the zip archive...

Some of YOUR favorites might not be here. In some cases I dropped songs because they didn't fit the flow of the selections. If it makes you feel any better, some of my own favorite Misfits songs didn't make the cut; they were sacrificed for the greater good of the compilation. Some may still take issue with my choices of songs or versions. To thems I say: Make your own damn compilation.

So disdain if you must, but the comp's not meant to be all-inclusive; just a good listen. It was the result of 3 months of version research and track list tweaking. Maybe you'll give a listen to see if isn't worth what you paid for it before casting suspicion, disdain, derision, aspersions, etc...

The Misifts haven't been worth spitting at since the demise of the original line-up.

Ignore these nitpicking, indie rock schmendricks.

For a start, I was joking (anyone who flies the flag of the Misfits is well fine with me), secondly -- you probably owe indie rock fans an apology for presuming I'm one of them.

Oh man, thanks a lot! I know nothing about the Misfits and was looking for an entry point!

what he said. thx man.

ooh, nice to have the proper track order for this again.

I am jealous of people who are hearing the misfits for the first time.

something I didn't stress when this was originally posted was the amount of time spent determining the best versions of tracks. there are 3-4 versions of a lot of misfits songs, especially the early stuff. so this comp isn't just great misfits tunes, they're the best versions available, too (imo). for instance, 12 hits from hell redeemed a lot of misfits songs I never particularly liked - "horror hotel", "ghouls night out".

also I upgraded some of the tracks that were 128kbs in the original, so if you dug it before a re-download might be in order.

I've been loving the earth AD stuff a lot this year. so brutal!

I love the Misfits, so I'm psyched to hear this comp.

should i see them on halloween?

seems the only acceptable time to see nu-misfits

I've never seen nu-misfits live - maybe they're fun? I haven't heard good things, and the albums are dire. why not seek out some other fright fare that's still kicks it? (white mice anyone?)

I was kinda hoping when doyle started doing misfits sets w/ danzig that it would lead to a fullblown reunion, but no dice so far. I'm lukewarm at best on the concept of reunions in general but shit, the misfits? if nothing else the pent-up butthurt emmanating from a stage containing danzig + jerry would be strong enough to vaporize the first three rows leaving a smoldering pile of skull tees and dippity doo devillocks.

When new creatures rape your face, hybrids open up the door.

I thought it was "nude creatures"?

maybe it is. makes it easier. (the raping.)

wikipedia lulz

This new incarnation of The Misfits released their debut album, American Psycho, in 1997. The album was fairly well received, introducing The Misfits to a new generation of fans. However, many fans of the original Misfits had trouble accepting the band's renewed existence without its founder and key songwriter, Glenn Danzig, who usually refuses to acknowledge the new band's existence, and does so only with derision. Detractors also took issue with the new band's focus on a more "cartoony" image (often referring to them as "The Newfits", "MisfitsTM", "The Jerry Only Band", "The Mishits", "The Shitfits", or "Misfits 95") , and Jerry Only's apparent desire to make the band more family-friendly, by refraining from the use of vulgarities in their new songs.

I like "the misshits"

sounds like a bathroom inexactitude

lol ian

i did a search the other day for threads about 'where eagles dare' and was disappointed/appalled to find that there weren't any on ILM

i aint no goddamn son of a bitch imo

dude i listen to this all the time! glad to see you're keeping up the tradition.

that's awesome! it's weird when I s!sk for some misfits and come across it in somebody else's collection.

who was the twee indie band that did a cover of "where eagles dare"?

This is great, not a band I thought I'd like but I was intrigued and love it! Thanks! Great Tradition!

Bratmobile covered Where Eagles Dare. Not sure if they count as twee though.

Yay this compilation! Listening to the original of "Last Caress", I only know the Papa M version, and the Misfits kick its ass!

Bratmobile covered Where Eagles Dare. Not sure if they count as twee though.

maybe I should've said who was the indie band that did a twee cover of "where eagles dare"?

twee in the broad sense of the word, i.e. dainty + cutsey

Atom & His Package might fit the bill.

I remember halloween etc

get ready

WANT

I owe you my thanks, Edward. I downloaded this last year (I think) for my ipod and ended up coming back to it again and again. Classic. At the time, I only had a couple of old Misfits cassettes (i.e. recordings from LPs) I'd had since the 80s. I've since bought the two "Collection" compilations for home listening - which is more than I'll ever need (I think!).

So cheers -- you re-introduced me to the Misfits!

that's great!

must convert more ghouls for the zombie holocaust

DO IT AGAIN!

I'm thinking this year I'll put up a track a day and the whole comp on halloween

lyrics fite

i wish there was a whole band that sounded like Halloween II

which is the record/song with the "pound like jackhammers" Glenn intro?

This is a really great comp, I can't think of any of my favourites that aren't on this.

same here, except for "Mommy can I go out and kill tonight"

RRRAAARRGGHHH

NOW MY DEMON HORDE! ATTACK! KILL!

I am putting this on today, thanks again Ed

omg @ 'She', how did I not know about this MISFITS classic?

I dunno, it's on like 3 of their albums!

"she" was the first misfits song I ever heard

then I bought earth AD

then I heard legacy of brutality and I was like what is up with all this woah-ohhh-ohhh bullshit

obv I got over it

are Samhain worth a listen? I think Danzig's first couple of records were pretty decent, and this comp is awesome!

i was just reminded of the hilarious quaintness of "tv casualty" -- like not-replying to christmas cards was a puh-retty big deal, also the avoidance of the dangling preposition revealing a surprisingly prescriptive grammarian in our glenn.

I like to feed the flies that I know

Samhain is way better than Danzig solo IMO but then I basically hate Danzig solo.

thanks, will be looking some up forthwith then...

here try this

in honor of this thread here is a picture I took of Samhain in October of 1984 with a Kodak Instamatic

I put this in as an MP3 station in Grand Theft Auto Vice City. It's perfect!

I'M WARNING YOU
