The Misfits pretty much funds the Misfits. It used to cost me money to be in the band. I think we got paid the last gig we ever did. After that, we had to work to support our families.

I would have hated to been locked into music for the last 20 years and not been able to have a family.

Music shouldn't be based around money or politics. Music should be a bunch of people that really do great songs together doing them together for the pursuit of having a good time.

Danny and I wrote 10 songs in seven days, which I thought might be close to the record until you probably look at some of the Beatles statistics.

There were some situations where I was giving up everything I had for the band and I just expected everybody else to feel the same way. I realized I was just kidding myself.

There's a lot of different concepts that came out of the bootlegs. A lot of it was educational. There's a lot of heavy bootlegging going on out there.

It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.

It's time to start really writing some stuff, and I really wanted to write some stuff in the vein of the original Misfits, and this was really the first step in that direction.

Don't buy the bootlegs, save your stuff, everything's coming back out.
With us, it's a very specific audience. If you like steak, this is it for you.

If you really want something you just hang with it. We think our future's ahead and not behind.
