Dude wrote both those albums, he deserves a lot more credit

Misfits: There is a whole line of people that would love to be a singer of this band. Also Misfits: Jerry Only becomes the singer.

I've always appreciated his down-to-earth nature. Seen him a couple months ago, he's still the only member that takes the time to meet with his fans after a show. An appreciated touch.

I met him on his tour bus. Misfits toured with Megadeth in 1998. He was just chilling in the doorway of the tour bus signing discs and talking to fans. Cool dude

My 2 favorite Misfits albums, Mike is the reason I really got into the Misfits. He's a brilliant songwriter and singer, I never get tired on those two albums. Wish they reissued them on vinyl.

Graves was great In misfits! My favorite lineup🤘🏽❤️

The Mike Graves era is the only era i like aside from the Danzig classic era 1977-1983. After Graves left the misfits should have called it quits for sure.

True misfits fans will always love you and appreciate everything you did. I’m 30 years old and I’ve been a fan since I was 12.

Aside from the original lineup (obviously,) the Misfits were REALLY great with Graves.

They did him wrong he was an amazing artist he was a huge part in the Misfits and no one can take that away from him! BTW fiend club is my favorite song!

Graves saved the Misifits...

Michale Graves could never be replaced, smh and it shows!

The real deal! All but love for Michale. Wow, his vocal range! Great interview once again Eric!

He is a beautiful person inside and out. So humble and so loving! Great interview!

Man I’d love a American psycho famous monsters era reunion! Those were fun years

Michale graves was more than worthy not many can replace a front man and make the band better.

I got to see the misfits in Philly at the electric factory on Halloween 1997. Michael graves misfits was awsome. They sounded great.

A Graves reunion with The Misfits would be welcome!

What a cool dude. Always nice to hear BOTH sides of a story.

Would be dope if they had an Original Misfits Concert on a Saturday night and after the encore... the lights dim and a beam of light draws down on a lone seat with Michael Graves playing Saturday Night acoustic... then all hell breaks loose and they follow up with AMERICAN PSYCHO DIG UP HER BONES SCREAM FIEND CLUB Bow out... Then Danzig comes for a 3rd encore and hits that NOTE... "MOTHER!"

He made them fresh. I like the michael graves version of misfits.

I was a teenager when he joined the band and the Misfits reformed, and I remember the argument about "Misfits" vs "Newfits". I really liked his voice, it was unique like Danzig's but different. I genuinely like songs on both albums he did; Scream is one of my favorite songs ever. I've never seen an interview with him (at least not as an older adult), he really is not what I expected at all haha. Then again I'm not at all the person I was when I was listening to him. This makes me like him even more honestly, seems like such a chill dude. I remember hearing about his politics, so all around he's just an awesome dude haha. By politics, I mean believing in reality and the concept of normal being firmly planted in his head.

Great interview!

The misfits lost so much after michale and Doyle left,that was the best era of misfits

Doyle is a sweetheart I'm glad him and Michael are/were friends

You're Special Michale! I seen ya with the Misfits and it was Amazing! "Dig up her bones" is one of my favorite songs! You kick ass bro!

I love Graves♡

Oh man, it really bothers me that these things happened. I don't know what to think about Doyle for leaving Michale behind in those situations. I hope you ask him about his one-album band "Graves" that he did with Chud in part 4, that was really great. Oh and yeah, it's Michale, not Michael, I always mess up there too.

I'm starting to feel old, Graves without hair :'v

Saturday night..what a tune..talented guy

he obviously got abused...he was a very young talented guy and got formed by jerry /doyle and co. . They showed him the "right" direction...Their direction. And at the end he wrote them 2 great albums without getting credits. Or at least not enough credit,,, Its a shame , Michale is so underrated.

Saw your first two shows on Halloween night in Philadelphia where I'm from consecutive years: you have tremendous talent. You brought maybe an optimism or a positivity to the group.

Def one of my favorite singers!!

So nice and sweet person!And with a beautiful voice!

saw micheal do both misfits albums and met him after, such a good guy, great singer!

I need to see Graves and Goolsby... but I'm gonna miss their shows that are near me on this tour. Some other time though!

Michael wrote some amazing songs with Misfits, he should have done another album with them at least, his voice and song writing is unique.

Love Graves so amazing 😍

I remember seeing the misfits live in halifax nova scotia when they released american psycho and it was a killer show with graves,then they came back again and played but with a different singer now i understand why this all happened.

Best misfit albums were with Graves, saw him yesterday, still has a great voice!

@blaringoutshow @EricBlair - you should totally look up Myke Hideous, he has so many more stories about the misfits.

I'm partial to the Danzig albums, but Michael Graves got a raw deal and deserves better.

He wrote some supreme songs. My ex gf even had a crush on him.

I threw all my Misfits albums away except Famous Monsters and American Psycho when I found out graves wasn’t allowed back in the band. Fuck jerry only. Fuck the Misfits without Graves. Best albums they ever made were with graves.

When is the rest of this interview going up?

Obviously I wasn’t there, but I have been in Mike’s position so many times, working for a company who are jerks. It has to be really scarring for that to happen to a person on such a large scale and label like the Misfits.

Reunion tour with them again.

Part 4 tho

I want to make a movie about Graves! From a singer to a Hockey player!!! That’s real!!!

The Misfits haircut on him was so BADASS, i LOVE his style back then. Looks wierd bald. Anyway Michael you're a leyend.

After Graves left, Chud bolted afterwards. Then it became the Jerry "Only" one left to play😆

American psycho was apparently when the band was getting along. Famous monsters was great also. So much of that album is Michael graves material. Not just the vocals. He wasn't hired help. Getting rid of Michael graves was a mistake

Didn't know Graves was a surf punk. Thats cool. Also that is fuct up how they treated him

100% real

Makes you wonder about the quality of Jerry's character eh? Intentional silence speaks for itself.

Is it now Crying On Saturday Night or Saturday Night?? :D :D

Lol Greg Armisin character

OHHHHHH!!!!! Mr. JELLY ONRY, RIGHT?!?!?!

Damn. I knew Jerry was always an asshole but Doyle was pretty fucked up for turning his back on Graves like that.

Jerry really irritated both Graves & Hideous, if you watch Myke’s interview with Jeff Frumess he talks about how Jerry getting on him about his weight lifting habits or knitpicking about him being closed off from the rest of the band.

OH YEA Mr. JELLY ONRY TOO?!?!

this reminds me of the Jason Newsted/Metallica situation. always the "new" guy that is the odd man out. however, i will say that from the perspective of Jerry and Doyle and mostly Jerry, they had just gotten out of a lengthy court battle in where they had to fight for the right to use the misfits name and merchandise. Jerry and Doyle made it seem like they wrote like 30% of the music which i believe based on the quality of American Psycho, Famous Monsters , and musically, albums after those. Danzig is talented, but he has always hidden behind his guitarists or musicians. he has a good idea. but his bands make them better. i've heard various sources saying that all the misfits helped arrange the songs, so yes Danzig did technically write the song, but the band MADE the song what it is. So i don't blame Jerry for being cautious, demanding, bitchy at, and extra expecting of Graves at that time. they probably saw it as "look bro, we just had to put up with years of litigation with Glenn, and honestly its our way or the highway with you.". honestly Doyle is an off/on fella , so Graves really should've been that "where do you want me? i'll go, what's the date ?" guy , instead of the chud me and doyle are really cool... Well, we all see how that worked out. the truth is that they're a disfunctional band , and probably only now , have matured somewhat.

this was the answer to so many questions... fucking Jerry only and wtf with Doyle...? well i believe he was friend of michael but also brother of the manager and the owner of the bans so u.u maybe was hard for him too dunno

This dude should try out for Nevermore or another good band. His singing capabilities are way beyond just punk rock, hate to see his voice become lost potential.

When It Comes To The MISFITS And The Bands Well Being Mrs. Jerry Only Is Not Gonna Ever Take The Backseat To Anybody Not To Glen Not To Michale Not To Nobody..... If It Means The Death Of The Band Nobody Will Ever Get In The Way Of Jerry Only....

Jerry you ran off Glenn then Michael come on man

There are three sides to every story.

Graves is a cool ass dude, I don't care what anyone says. I love the Danzig era of course........but Graves nailed it also.

it seems to me that michale hates jerry which is a shame

Holly smokes michael as a normal human!

The misfits looks like kiss

zoli not zola

Jerry is in the process of suing Graves, so a reunion will never happen now

Danzig or Graves?

That is literally f up! That the whole band group did that to the guy. Who funded misfits! Lol no wonder why I never liked the misfits.credits to this man he literally was the one who made the bad!

Sad Doyle and only are idiots losing graves was the biggest mistake after Glenn danzing .Michael is and was amazing unique and himself great singer is views got deformed and misinterpreted biggest misted he should have kept is politcals views for himself. Politics is not welcome in my music sorry…

Bald graves

Lol they're not making any hits now. Graves and danzig were amazing. Somone can follow up but not anyone lol

Nobody did the misfits as well as Michael graves. But Glenn danzig. Myke hydious sucked. And Doyle's band isn't as good as graves misfits. Alex Jones or wolf Man sucks too.

Body did the misfits as well as Michael graves. Except danzig. Mike hydious sucked. And Doyle's new music is good but his singer Alex Jones or. Whatever, wolf Man. He sucks.

Myke Hideous was a shameless ripoff of a replacement. Even the first name. A misspelling of Michael or Mike... Come on! It was shit, and the Only bros are to blame for it.

Graves is in my opinion better than Danzig and I love his acoustic solo work it’s better than misfits

is anything ever his fault?

I was never a fan of the Graves era. It should have been Glenn or nothing.

Damn, they extracted a bunch of shitty songs, from him.

Danzig was beaten up and made all his bandmates look fools. 😅

I’m a good hockey player???? What a goofer this guy is!

Biggest mistake Misfits ever made. Michale was the lufe blood of their return. He was the driving force of the comeback. And seeing how his firing led to the misfits fading into tiny little shows proved that. Misfits could of been huge with Graves. It was he was introducing new generations into the band. But now its just the hardcore old school fans, with jeery on vocals. Now im a huge misfits fan and i love jerry he seems like a legit great guy. But jerry cant sing worth a shit, his vocals are not terrible but he is absolutely a terrible front man. He lacks the presence and command of a great singer. Danzig has it, Graves has it, Axel rose has it, David lee roth, etc. Jerry Only singing is kinda sad, because it just showcasing the band cant move on.

Great interview!

I was never a fan of the Graves era. It should have been Glenn or nothing.
