Ok, here's not exactly all you ever wanted to know, but enough. After all, this is just a small tribute.
Glenn Danzig Former Member
Real Name: Glenn Anzalone
Instrument: Vocalist 1977-1983
Born on 6/23/55, Glenn was the first Misfits lead singer. He graduated from Lodi High School in 1973 and was in several cover bands before forming The Misfits. In 1983, he left the band and formed Samhain, and later Danzig, with Misfits photographer Eerie Von Stellman who was also The Misfits drummer very briefly (about 2 days.)
Jerry Only Current Member
Real Name: Jerry Caiafa
Instrument: Bassist 1977-1983, 1994-present
Jerry was born on 4/21/59 and spent most of his life in Lodi, New Jersey. He recieved a bass guitar for Christmas his senior year at Lodi High School and began playing in February '77, just 2 months later. The following month he was introduced to Glenn Danzig by Manny and they formed The Misfits. Jerry reformed the band in 1994 with his brother Doyle after receiving the rights to the band's name. Besides The Misfits, Jerry also played bass for Kryst The Conqueror as "Mo The Great."
Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein Current Member
Real Name: Paul Caiafa
Instrument: Guitarist 1980-1983, 1994- Present
Doyle is the younger brother of bassist Jerry Only and The Misfits Manager Rocky Caiafa (the middle brother.) Doyle joined The Misfits In 1980 Replacing Bobby Steele (Founder of The Undead). He was also in Kryst The Conqueror with Jerry. His guitar sound and playing has improved greatly since the original incarnation of The Misfits.
Dr. Chud Current Member
Real Name: David Calabrese
Instrument: Drums 1994- Present
Dr. Chud, the Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Drummer, has been drumming with Jerry and Doyle since 1992, when he originally joined them as a replacement drummer for Kryst The Conqueror. Dr. Chud, born on 4/4/64 graduated from Lodi High School with Doyle in 1982. He also played in local Lodi bands Sardonica and Sacred Trash before joining the reformed Misfits. In my opinion, he's the best drummer The Misfits have ever had.
Michale Graves Current Member
Real name: Michale Emanuel
Instrument: Vocals 1995- present
Born on March 21, 1975, Michale had never listened to the Misfits before auditioning for the band in April of 1995. He was officially announced as the lead singer in October of 1995 even though he had been practicing with the band for more than 6 months at that time. He was out of the Misfits briefly in 1998 and was replaced by Myke Hideous of Empire Hideous, but returned after Hideous was fired.
Myke Hideous Former Member
Real Name: Myke C.M. Itzazone
Instrument: Vocals Summer 1998
Myke replaced Michale Graves during The Misfits 1998 Europe & Brazilian tours while Graves was said to be at a hockey camp. After the tours Hideous was fired and Graves rejoined the band. I don't know why Hideous was fired. He wasn't part of any recordings with The Misfits so the only way you're going to know what he sounds like is to find a bootleg or one of his albums. His voice wasn't really all that great, and his image seemed even too bizarre for The Misfits.
