In response to the recent Glenn Danzig piece I posted, Dangerous Minds reader Phillip J. Birmingham sent me a link to a video of Danzig getting a taste of his own medicine. Apparently Glenn can’t walk it like he talks it. The incident documented below happened several years ago. So, it seems Glenn has a history of acting like a prick.

This may be old news for some of you, but it’s new to me. I’ve only recently become a fan of Glenn’s misadventures.

Danzig allegedly got into a scuffle with North Side Kings singer and frequent Soulfly collaborator Danny Marianinho following Danzig’s performance in Tuba City, Arizona. The following is Marianinho’s official statement regarding the incident, as sent to Blabbermouth.net:

Before crazy rumors begin to spread I would like to explain what happened:

North Side Kings were to play with Danzig last night in Tuba City, Arizona. To make a long story short the whole show was a disaster and a few bands got bumped off. Mr. Danzig (or his management??) refused to push back the original scheduled time slot so NORTH SIDE KINGS and RAPID FIRE would have to play ‘after’ his set. Whatever — we agreed to play later because we drove 6 hours and didn’t feel like going home without playing. Needless to say, as soon as DANZIG was finished, the venue turned on the lights and DANZIG’s crew and the staging company began to take the stage apart almost instantly. I confronted Mr. Danzig backstage while he was signing autographs and told him I thought he was an asshole because of his ‘rock star’ attitude and no consideration towards the FEW other bands that got bumped off tonight. In a fit of rage he turned around and slammed me into the wall yelling ‘Fuck you, motherfucker,’ trying to be a big, tough guy in front of his fans. I, in self-defense, punched him in the face, knocking him out as he was attacking me again. He went down, bleeding from his mouth, eyes rolled back, and in shock that he got knocked to the floor so quickly. A friend happened to tape the entire incident and this is all documented. Many witnesses saw him attack me, and I did what any man would do.

It was unfortunate that this went the way it did — and I hoped Glenn Danzig learned a valuable lesson tonight: Do not lay your hands on anyone unless you can handle what may happen. I apologize for nothing, except for the poor little kids that had to witness this big asshole get his ass kicked in a matter of seconds…”

Yeah, that is totally inconvenient. I hope he finds it.

Glenn has height issues.

Danzig cancelled a Minneapolis gig at the last moment on Tuesday night because the venue where he was booked didn’t have high enough ceilings. Shit, considering Glenn is only a few inches taller than your average dwarf, those ceilings must have been really really low. Danzig’s star tripping cost the Cabooze club and its employees some serious revenue. According to reports, the former Misfit was a major pain in the ass.

Last night Danzig, sourpuss extraordinaire, was scheduled to appear at the Cabooze in support of his new record, Deth Red Sabaoth, that no one’s heard of. Looks like it will probably stay that way, at least around the Twin Cities.

A spokesperson for the club said…

He walked off the show before we even opened the doors. They picked him up around noonish, he was pretty bitter then. Then it just went from bad to worse, idle threats, and then finally he just said “fuck it, I’m outta here.”

Blubberella, the latest cinematic crapfest from the world’s worst director Uwe Boll. Starring Ron Howard’s talent deficient brother Clint and Lindsay Hollister as the title character.

“The first female fat superhero ...She will kick major ass - with her major ass ...” 
 

 
Boll continues to make films despite being savaged by critics and producing films that don’t seem to have an audience (other then the curious). Three years ago, in response to his critical drubbing, Boll challenged several critics who were particularly vocal in their distaste for his films to a boxing match. A few took him up on it. Clips from these fights are on display in a new documentary on Boll called Raging Boll, which I recently saw at the Austin Film Festival.

GoldenPalace.com Sponsors Filmmaker’s Revenge Movie critics beware; you might have to put up or shut up from now on, as filmmaker Uwe Boll made history by beating the tar out of four of his harshest critics in “Raging Boll”, a boxing match sponsored by publicity-hungry internet casino GoldenPalace.com. Boll, an experienced boxer, pulled no punches as he systematically dismantled and humiliated critics Richard “Lowtax” Kyanka of SomethingAwful.com, Jeffrey Sneider of Aintitcoolnews.com, Chris Alexander of horror magazine Rue Morgue, and 17-yr-old Chance Minter with his mother closely watching. Boll has over 30 years experience in the ring, and didn’t hold back. He served up savage hooks, head shots, and body blows, easily winning all four fights. None of the competitors lasted more than 2 rounds and all the fights ended by KO or TKO. The unique match originally began as an Internet challenge from Boll to his many critics, and made massive amounts of press all over the world. It turned into a media-inspired phenomenon, which naturally piqued the interest of internet casino GoldenPalace.com

 
Lucha VaVoom tonight at Webster Hall in NYC and the Park West in Chicago on Thursday. Miss them at your peril.

Lucha VaVoom combines burlesque and Lucha Libre-style wrestling with a post-modern spin. The wrestlers are experienced in the art of grappling as well as other things. In the words of Lucha Vavoom superstar Cassandro:

“I’m just a gay guy, and I wrestle in my hair and makeup and my feathers and the glamour — I’m like the wrestling Liberace. One of my moves is the lip lock. I like to kiss people, so you better watch it if you’re around there.”

 
The Hill blog reports that outgoing Florida Governor Charlie Crist is considering pardoning Jim Morrison for a crime that was most likely never committed.
 

In his last two months in office, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist is considering a December surprise: a posthumous pardon for Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, for indecent exposure charges after an infamous 1969 Miami concert. In a phone interview with The Hill, Crist said “stay tuned” regarding the idea of a posthumous pardon for the singer who died in Paris in 1971.  Crist said he won’t make the decision lightly, noting the many complexities surrounding the 41-year-old case. Numerous sound recordings from the show exist, for example, but Morrison’s defenders say none of the scores of photographs from the show prove the exposure charge. “We would have to look into all of that,” Crist said.
