Added DiffLines:

** Ironically, Doyle later turned into a guitar nerd, and built his own guitar to help maintain his style of playing by borderline punching the strings without it constantly going out of tune on him or slicing his hand open.

* DownerEnding: Their first run ended with their new drummer getting so shitfaced he couldn't finish half the set, Glenn so fed up he broke up the band on stage then and there, and then a several-year legal battle when he rerecorded Jerry and Doyle's parts for a compilation album rather than actually pay them royalties.



* EmoMusic: {{Unbuilt|Trope}} version. Horror lyrics intermixed with SillyLoveSongs with pop punk / hardcore punk tones as ''The Misfits'' started were later something emo bands like Music/{{AFI}} and Music/MyChemicalRomance would be influenced by.

* IndecipherableLyrics: It's impossible to understand Danzig on ''Earth A.D.'' without having lyrics in front of you. Other albums have this too, just not as much. The fact, that lyrics, that circulated the web prior to Danzig releasing Lyrics of the Left Hand Vol. II book, were incorrect, doesn't help. For example, lyrics to "Devilock" are often written as:

* [[NonIndicativeName Non-Indicative Title]]: Usually their songs about horror movies are also titled after the movie itself, so you would think "Shining" would be a song about ''Film/TheShining''... It's about ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}.''
