Misfits Go shopping at Toy Tokyo
Ойын-сауық
Rolling Stone recently took legendary horror rockers the Misfits shopping at Toy Tokyo in Manhattan to check out the shop's impressive stock of toys, statues and assorted memorabilia. The band members – who showed up in full costume! – also chatted about their long history and their latest album, The Devil's Rain. "Right now the band is 100 percent of our effort," says bassist Jerry Only. "I think this is our best work and our best lineup."

That awkward moment when Jerry Only technically isn't an original member. I chuckled when he commented about starting the Misfits. Diane DiPiazza was the first bassist when Glenn Danzig formed the Misfits. Jerry wasn't even in the picture yet for at least another year...

Before The Misfits, Mr. Jim, Diane, and Jimi played in a band with Glenn doing covers, but the original Misfits were Glenn Danzig, Manny Martinez, and Franche Coma. Thanks for playing.

Him and Glenn basically did start the Misfits. Jerry also made their instruments in his fathers workshop, introduced Doyle to Glenn and helped teach him how to play. Without Jerry, the Misfits wouldn't have been the same.

The only reason he's doing any of this is for the money. It's why there were stupid things like Misfits lunchboxes and cover albums by brass bands when he had control. He said he would get back together with Danzig if Danzig accepted Christ or whatever. LOL. Just Glenn turned into a Jesus freak because Jerry couldn't possibly be a hypocrite and do the Misfits thing again for the money, right?
I feel like if Jerry didn't use the name the misfits and it was just a solo project his stuff wouldn't seem so bad, but when you use the name people have a certain expectation

I think he means "Best Line up" as in how the band functions. There was always tension with Danzig and Graves. This line up just gets along better. And by finest work I think he means that this has the most effort put into it.
Dude that’s crazy about the mars attacks original cards he said about the specific one where the alien is shooting the dog. That’s the exact same one that freaked me out and completely turned me off as a kid too
Best work? Best lineup? Finest hour?... Guess Jerry's memory is beginning to fail him cause he acts like he doesn't remember anything from the late 70's and early 80's...

The original line-up was the best, by far... Yet I'm not sure that it'd be good if they reunited. These days, I think Jerry is a better vocalist that Danzig - Glenn sort of sucks these days. Album-wise... I think its better than Static Age and the best they did since Walk Among Us.

legendary "Misfits" mr. Jerry Only is a really nice & cool guy to have a conversation with cuz he takes his time in answering ur questions! i met mr. Only @ a Chiller Theater Convention some years ago in New Jersey & we talked about the making of his new bass guitar that he designed & he expressed evry detailed about it! thx JERRY O!
You know what? Perhaps Jerry doesn't have the most integrity of musicians out there, but he still busts his ass to keep the Misfits going. Sure as hell ain't the best lineup, but that possibility was erased when Danzig left and as far as I'm concerned, he's doing a great job of keeping their legacy going. Though I must agree, all the merch is a bit much.
NEED TO SEE THE MISFITS LINEUP WITH DANZIG!!!! THIS IS THE REUNION I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!
Thank you!
Basically, all of the money that the current Misfits make, goes into what they do. They produce their own albums, put it out on their own label which they fund themselves, they pay for their own tours, make their own stage sets for the shows, design their own clothes, Jerry makes his own bass guitars, makes the add-ons for the drums and then helps design the shirts. Basically, they're one of the most DIY bands around, selling merch is hardly a crime, who doesn't do it?

Graves is a FAR better singer than Jerry. Musically, "The Devil's Rain" was the 3rd era of the Misfits... It wasn't terrible and I've gotta give props to Jerry for keeping the Misfits going... And now Glenn, Jerry and Doyle are playing together again. If it weren't for Jerry keeping the Misfits name alive, we might not have had a reunion... Even Doyle and Glenn doing Misfits songs, was because of the brothers keeping it together. Bad blood between brothers? I've never heard of such a thing... That was sarcasm, of course... It's great to see them doing the Misfits again, even though it's kinda bittersweet, because, in my opinion, the Misfits were NEVER a festival headlining band... They were a punk band.... For people to enjoy in dingy, dirty rock clubs.... Like Harpo's, here in Detroit...

Slippy Jones I know, I genuinely loved Devils Rain.. its not the best album though
I'm talking about the current lineup posing as The Misfits.
Anyone know where I could get there toys at ?
HELL YEAH JERRY !!!! MORE TOYS!!!
Two things that go really well Misfits and nerds
Only is trying to run his own business now- give the man some credit. Glenn is running his.
Only era isn't quite as innovative as past work, feels more like filler tracks with a few songs with potential to be 'good'. Either way, I still come back and listen to the music. Great stuff and I honestly believe Only still has that genuine spark. I hope he can make something good.
I met Dez =) Very tall. Very friendly. Jerry's even sweeter.
He also added more than just a look, he added to the sound.
Why doesn't he call the band Only Jerry?
Glad to see Jerry made some new friends to play with after Michale, Chud and his brother dumped him. :)
that's heaven.toys toys toys..
cool
Jerry even if I don't agree with something you do you are pretty cool man
How come I only recognised only on band member
Jerry is awesome hes very nice .
"Probably our finest work to date" c'mon Jerry. Be honest. The Danzig era was amazing, the Graves era was fucking great, but now... It's just eh.
Jerry's A Genuine Guy 🔥
I love the Godzilla cameos in this
You got it wrong right there. Look at the static Age Cover. Does Glen have a devil lock? No foo.
Mars Attacks was a trading card collection that came out with a brand of bubble gum in the 60's/70's...
The Devil's Rain is your finest work to date? Are you fucking insane? It's not that bad, but come on.
Jerry Only seems like such a cool guy
These guys are such schlubs, everything Jerry Only touched, he had to say something memorable about, only he had no idea about anything he was talking about. "I have that Balzac bat in my garage, only it's black, that's the rare one right? Oh there's one right up there." What a cheezy schlub.
Charming! Um - I never thought I'd say that about The Misfits.
Jerry and buddies are such a bunch of thinly-disguised nerds. This is a compliment. Google-goggle google-goggle we accept them one of us..."When a toy's just one solid object, there's not much you can do but blow it up or burn it." WOO YEAH! HA HA HA! I knew someone who spent a lovely afternoon shooting her Barbie dolls at a rock wall with a cannon.

In punk, aswell as a lot of other genres, "the look" mattered, look at the Ramones, the Clash, the Pistols, the Damned etc, the Misfits weren't any different. It's not important, but it can be to some. My basic point was that Jerry had a lot of influence over the band, and without it, they'd never have been the same. This is undeniable. Without Jerry, there'd have never been a Doyle. I don't think Glenn had the Devilock back then, he had weird cropped hair.

Hardly, his record label seems to be doing well, they don't have to pay many costs for their shows since he's their sole promoter, and his family are the technicians and roadies... If anything, Jerry is rollin in it right now, much like Glenn is with those Oujia boards he was selling online.

I cant say "UGH" enough.
There no band hes the only original member there left
Graves once said something like Jerry Only will always be Only Jerry. It's too bad.
At 0.24, It sounds like Jerry it is saying ball sacks 🤣
I saw them in 1998 in Roanoke, VA at Hell's Kitchen. It wasn't the Misfits then, and it not the fuckin' Misfits now.
Guess you should watch The Day the Earth Stood Still to find out where Army of Darkness got that...
Who says what the Misfits are about writing classic songs? If anything, thats more in line with what Jerry is about, Glenn was about technique and creating new sounds, hence the many reworkings of their original songs, like "She" and "Cough Cool." Every band is about Merch, so is Glenn, have you not seen his online store? Merch is the only way most bands actually make any money, the Misfits fund their own albums, tours, merch and label, aswell as make their own stage sets and instruments.
Jerry only is fucking cool.
*"Jerry Only"
So I'll assume your comment "Manson/Twiggy write good songs" was an ill thought out mistake? If he did about as much as Jerry did in 77-83 then I can officially say "Jerry/Glenn wrote some good songs."
What? He was a founding member.
Who said he didn't? The man was in WCW, haha.
Jerry.. please stop! We used to love you! What have you done?
i saw that to lol
"Where did I say re arranging music isn't a talent?" You seem to think that Jerry is talentless, didn't you say he wasn't a musician? What, so now you're saying he IS a musician? Make your mind up, kiddo.
Ummm. I think it's safe to say Static Age is their best to date!!!
I think he was 15.
lmao they even had a Moses action figure.
The fact of the matter is this: you seem to hold a grudge against Jerry for keeping the Misfits name alive, but if it weren't for him doing that then 96% of current Misfits "fans" wouldn't know shit about them. You seem to hold Glenn in some divine regard, which is pretty funny, since he's just as much of a religious tool as Jerry is, haha. Both of them make their moolah by selling Misfits coffee cups and writing songs about mythical monsters. I like the music, regardless, do you?
Either way, they earn many nerd points for knowing the phrase.
THIS IS THE MISFIST COVER BAND
Ok I get why people don’t like devil rain but honestly it was a good album better than project 1950 but Devil Rain is a top 5 album
Musically, it is better, not sure how you can deny that. As far as anything else goes, of course he's going to talk big about the current band, what do you expect him to say, "we're awful?" It's all opinion on what you like and don't like, but in all fairness, it is better musically than it's ever been as far as production and actual playing ability goes, especially live.
"Doing covers? That takes real talent?lol" "I never said Jerry was a dick. He just isn't a musician."
In all honesty, Danzig's latest performances have been epic, and the new album is quality, so i'm not sure what you're talking about...
Be careful kiddies, Jerry might just give you the people's elbow.
