Fender Catches up with The Misfits' Jerry Only | Fender
/ fender - เพลง
Every show I ever went to Jerry was like a buddy. Said hello. Was genuine. Real class dude. And cool.
Jerry Only is a sweet heart of a guy. Treated me like a friend not a fan.
exactly, hes such an amazing person. i met danzig, i kinda felt almost like i was bothering him lol.
Glenn is kind of a douche, to be fair. Ex-band mates said the same about him.@@valentien9042
He was raised well! Good guy, cool, family dude, good to friends!! I can tell by how he talks about cooking and feeding people all the time! That’s Italiano love. Palestinians, Greeks, ect are like that too! my kids family loves to cook incredible food and feed anyone they meet with 💯 love. The Ciafa’s must have had amazing parents man
Don’t you mean fiend? 😉
So many comments hating on Jerry..
What do you expect him to do after all these years, work at Home Depot?
Richard Cox yes
@@bryan740710 that's what I was gonna say.
diamond miles8 yeah u too late
Maybe be in a band that does misfit covers.....oh wait...
Yeah
there was a bassist for may four weeks before Jerry came in, he and jerry started what became the misfits. I think what he says is fair
Exactly. Jerry also invented the iconic devilock which is a huge staple of the bands image. Also whoever played on the first album I would classify as part of he original line up.
No one ever denied that Glenn wrote the music, buddy.
Manny Says in This interview from what he remembers the bassist was always Jerry th-cam.com/video/QvuyvTOGIwU/w-d-xo.html
I saw Misfits live years back. After the show, Jerry perched himself on the end of the stage and didn't leave until everyone got a picture, an autograph, a hug, or all three. I took my daughter there for her 13th birthday and her first moshpit. When the band started playing, she looked at me all confused, wondering why everyone was running around crashing into one another. I said "think of it as human bumper cars." and she got the idea quickly. Every time either of us took a spill, there was always a helping hand. He signed her patch put her in a headlock lol. All in all a good birthday, better than Chuck E. Cheese I guess
Jerry Only and James Hetfield both had football careers set up before they decided to change music history, that's wicked!
i'm pretty sure i remember vinnie paul and dimebag darrell were playing football but they liked music more
Thank God. Footballs garbage
Its Only Jerry now. Not Jerry Only.
+Rahul Maharjan So true!
Rahul jerry Lonely
@@eddymunster4857 Not really true seeing as he reunited with Glenn in 2016.
Rahul lol
@@Dangerous2099 still don't matter lol
you never hear pantera fans moaning that anselmo wasn't the original singer. I love the Misfits but I really hate most misfits fans. most bands have lineup changes but for some reason people seem so hellbent on holding it against the Misfits for some reason. if it wasn't for the Graves era there would be a lot less misfits fans around today. if you only like the Danzig era that OK, just don't try and spoil the rest of it for others. total respect for jerry for carrying the legacy on and enjoying what he does.
The difference is Danzig wrote and arranged all the music, the singer previous to Anselmo is responsible for zero of the music Pantera is known for and would perform. Misfits became a glorified cover band without Danzig.
So much hate in these comments. It's sad. The Misfits are more than just a trendy t-shirt you picked up at Walmart/Hot Topic kids. Listen to the music of their era and then look at what The Misfits were doing, that in itself demands respect.
On that note- It's cool to see Jerry talk about his early influences. It's makes songs like "Driving on a Saturday Night" that much more enjoyable. The Horror punk is what they are known for but their music goes much deeper than that. The Misfits, Joy Division, The Velvet Underground, legends of music history pushing the boundaries of their time. Respect.
+freesoulvw You mean "Crying on a Saturday Night"?
Saturday Night*
NO, the Misfits aren't anything more than trendy t-shirts sold at Walmart. Their few fans are just nostalgic about the "punk" narrative they fell for as kids.....shitty music, not being able to play an instrument, and zero record sales equals "cool and trendy". Danzig momentarily climbed out of suckage, until he lost his only members with talent, he started to believe his own satan bullshit, and started collecting cats. The Misfits gave a valiant effort with Graves, but also sunk back into obscurity. Misfits Reunion Tour: Coming to a bowling alley near you!
skullywag bowling alley huh thought it was headlining riot fest
Not helping your cause by mentioning "riot fest". Not exactly a major event...more like has been/almost been get together...
Jerry he is great vocalist and bass player and great punk musician ❤️🤘
Not a vocalist But a bass player. If you search helena live when Jerry sings you can hear its pretty bad
I remember the kids that listened to Misfits back in the early 80s were the ones you watched out for cause they had knives.
I'll put a knife right in you! I'm warning you! Lol one my fav lyrics
Meh those were just some teenagers from mars.
Jerry only is awesome, I don't care what anyone says
Everyone who likes original misfits, likes jerry.
I saw him with the misfits in 2006 at Harpo’s in Detroit. I was in the front row, looking up at the band, when somebody bumps into my left side, is Jerry Only playing along with the band using a wireless system! Jerry was cool, he sat on the front of the stage signing autographs until everybody got theirs.😁👍
jerrys cool. not the biggest fan of the era of the misfits where he sang but i appreciate him keeping it going
YESSSSS Mr. JELLY ONRY!!!! 🥰😘
he is a controlling egomaniac
One thing i love about this interview is he explained why Project 1950 came about, he had a love of 50's music and that started his passion with music, he was honouring his influences like Def Leppard did with YEAH!
Space_Ace_1 it was in the liner notes when the album Came out
I love how this guy can remember being 6 months old.
I remember being in a high chair w Casper the ghost on..eating frenchtoast
He seems like a sweetheart.
I prefer Danzig of Graves but I have to give Jerry credit for keeping the Misfits going. I wanna dislike him but he's a really nice guy.
Yea, I agree with you
If you watch more interviews you'll realize that this guy is actually an egotistical prick.
everyone is an egotistical prick.
I wanted to hate glenn as well the whole short guy complex the im the devil attitude but when he proved to us all that he is not like axl rose that he can let the past go now he is more of a goofball well i went out and got some danzig albums finally graves was good cuz he didnt try to sound like glenn Lets whop they do another show maybe we will hear mother with jerry on base for the first time lol imagine
Define "going".
Jerry Only keep on keeping The Misfits alive!
i love him sm 🥺 he is so cute aw
I think its great to see they are nice people under the costume.. regular guys that are great entertainers
Jerry is fantastic to fans.
Jerry holds up the misfits legacy just fine with the new guitarists, and i like that the classic songs still get played...
No he doesn't. He ruined that band's legacy and he butchers their songs with his horrible vocals.
paolo monticello ok.. but what he's trying to do is let the younger generation have a chance to experience the misfits while they still can. shitty vocals or not he's doing it for the fans.
but they arent experiencing the misfits at all. hes just exploiting the kids. he cant make a living on his own so he uses the creation of another person to live off of.
jazzblaster he helped create the band and idea behind it
Adaiah Estrada He's not doing it for the fans, he's doing it for his own enrichment. The bands he tried to create on his own were failures (Kryst the Conqueror), so he's now doing an awful Misfits cover band against Danzig's wishes.
Many hate comments here but I must say.... Jerry is my favorite singer of the 3
love Jerry Only, I listen to Jazz but when Jerry talks, I forget about them jazz players and love to listen to Jerrys stories, he is a real cool dude
why is everyone hating on this the misfits are awesome
They don't hate the Misfits, there just not fan of Jerry Only
leonardo echeverria cause Jealous nobody can just be happy for somebody
Honestly it’s not a mess face it’s just that a lot of people hate Jerry only‘s vocals and I have to say honestly while I’m a bigger fan of Danzig or graves especially graves I like Jerry only I’m glad he’s keeping the band alive
@@lil_pemsiofficial9268ya but jerrys nice to fans and thats that being nice to fans if more important then being nice to your band mates same with johnny ramone he was nice to fans to and thats that so didnt matter that he stole joeys girl
Awesome , love the misfits
Great video. I was one of the CBGBs regulars from the 70s through the 80s. For anyone who may remember I was called Rat.
got to meet Jerry at the Halloween show in Dallas last year, dude took photos with everyone at the merch booth
Jerry-the coolest member of the Misfits!
Doyle...
Frank Bama he’s cool too but he’s kinda quiet, he doesnt have the nice friendly outgoing personality as Jerry
We played together once both from Lodi you rock punk rock god. 93
Is it me or does he have the same hairline as Vegeta from DBZ?
No, Vegeta have the same hairline.
Jerry only is the man. And the fact that he's wearing a captain america shirt here, makes him *THE* man.
Jerry badass dude!
just saw them in Starland Ballroom Sayreville NJ last night
imagine looking into an alternate universe were Jerry actually went off to play football then leading to getting in to the football hall of fame lol
Everyone needs to realize Danzig's time has been over for 32 years now...GET OVER IT!!!
+ルイスレイバー Good point
ルイスレイバー still is the founder and the best voice xd
Hai!
Nah, Danzig was sick through 93-94.... cry
No
Great Jerry Only, great video, great Fender's tribute to punk
Good dude right here
The Misfits are the best!
When I sin I sin real good !! RIP. MisFits
Where did he get the tall studs on his shoulder
What's the last song?
Jerry is cool.
It's a forward comb-over!
It's called a devillock dumbass
NeffXamaya it's not even that. it's a old 50s greaser spike
The devilock ain’t a bad look for a balding guy. I mean shit Jerry’s hairline was receding since outta the 90s but there must be something special to it as he’s still got a lil bit lol
Favorite misfit
I just came to ask what the song is in the background?
twilight of the dead by the misfits
@@TheGasmask616 fucking thank you!
This might sound stupid but I wanna put a skull on my Squier Strat headstock how do you do it??
Jesus Christ do it
I bought an appropriate sized one from a Halloween store. Used a bamboo skewer from the kitchen to run holes through the sides (right behind the jaw, and another set further back) and then ran shoelaces through the holes (giant pain if you get a hollow one instead of a solid foam one, neither is easy). I then tie it around the headstock looping the laces around my tuning pegs to keep it from sliding around. In a Misfits tribute band, and I had to help complete the look.
No idea how Jerry does his.
Y’know he may be my least favorite lead singer for the misfits but he seems like a good guy
Where is my Custom Fender?
Song?
some good stories
0.13 my eyes look exactly blood like jerry only lol, when i am really high my eyes look like that
Love Jeerry Only's distorted bass sound.. )^_-)/
Oy, Jerry.
As real as it gets.
i wanna give jerry only a big hi-five
I dig this but for one Jerry didn't start shit Glenn started the Misfits and Jerry joined after Diane left but Jerry was a huge part in creating the look of the Misfits him and Glenn
Diane Jamed Once or Twice With Glenn and Mr.Jim and Jimmy Battle Not as The Misfits go To Darkride Flims Mr.Jim says so himself and Mannys interview He Says From what he remembers The First Misfits was Just him and Glenn no Guitarist tell Franche Joined From what he remembers and no Bassist tell Jerry Joined from what he remembers.
@40 Phil P Diane Was Glenns Bassit Not The Misfits Bassist Mr.Jim Said she wasnt in The Band and Manny said from What he remembers The Bassist Was Always Jerry in an Interview look it up
As far as I know, Jerry never even played Fenders throughout The Misfits career. He originally butchered Rickenbacker 4001 basses (he alluded to this practice at 1:37) until he finally was able to produce his own basses using the facilities provided by his family business. What's next, is Slash going to do promos for Fender?!
Joseph Marrero thank you!
This was for promotional material regarding a Dee Dee Ramone tribute bass, dummy.
I am fully aware of that, fuckhead.
Can someone explain why the hate? Serious question
When did Jerry Only have anything to do with Fender?
to "Nicholas Beers" down there, who writes a wiseass comment ("Fender, I love you with all my heart but seriously, drop the punk stuff.") but disables reply; dee dee ramone, rock n' roll hall of famer, played fender precision bass guitars. jerry here is also a notable musician. wtf is your credentials?
Hi
Jerry's devil lock is receding.....
Lir Robinson he should keep it forever lol
DEVILOCKS !!! MACHINE SHOP !!!
he's wearing a captain America shirt
Awesome
Ascension?!
🤘💀👍
I literally thought interviews with other people and Jerry had a screwed up title. "Jerry Only"...
*Glenn started the band*
Jesus people. Quit hating already. Without this man, misfits would be hurried already. So should he have gone solo like Doyle and Danzig did instead?
I want your SKULL
He fuckin' looks like a skull now!
"I started the Misfits with Glenn"
No, Jerry. Glenn started the Misfits without you. You were the second bassist.
+THE_SOGGY_SPONGE That's because I'm a cunt.
+CthulhuRogers I like that
***** My point is that Jerry seems to push this revisionist history where he played a much larger role in the band than he actually did. Or rather, that Glenn wasn't as important to the band as people think he was.
***** Sure. I recognize his contributions and the part he played, but I was just referring to the music side of things. I don't think I've ever seen him acknowledge that he never wrote any songs for the band, and in some interviews he's tried to subtly downplay Glenn's role in the band.
CthulhuRogers um... no its his band
What a beautiful man lol 😂
"I started the Misfits with Glenn."
*John Cena pokes his head through da wall* "are you sure about that?
Vinny Hyde he has been on every record of the misfits so I would consider him a original member that started the misfits just as I consider cliff burton a original member
@@CaseSet236 you can consider Cliff an original member all you want, doesn't make it true
@@ThorCarlton ok cliff might have been a bad example but when the "first bassist of the misfits" was in the band it was only him and danzig the band wasn't even called misfits and they didn't have a drummer
@@CaseSet236 the first bassist was a female. And yes, I'm aware of the situation. As far as I'm concerned Jerry is the only reason the Misfits are around today and as legendary as they are. If he didn't carry the torch they would have been a badass punk band that faded into obscurity. But at the same time saying Jerry was the original just isn't true.
He Didnt Start Manny and Glenn did With No one on Bass Manny Says in this interview from what he remembers The Bassist was Always Jerry th-cam.com/video/QvuyvTOGIwU/w-d-xo.html
god hes so old now
he seems sweet I dont get all the hate
How's that Tren treatin' ya, Jerry?! Im 50 y/o and have the same build, same vascularity...same abs...and IT'S ALL TRENBALONE ACETATE AND TEST PROPIENATE! GOOD STUFF, HIH???@@!
Why they have to get old :(
Jerry is the Gene Simmons of the Misfits
Yup. The true spirit of misfits
Dont agree jerry seems more real and down to earth knows his devil lock looks badd but keeps the tradtion going.
@@markgiallo3129 the devil lock is kickass
@@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305 I give him props I think it would be more of a sellout to shave his head or try to wear some kind of enhancement
@@markgiallo3129 yes. Change is bad! Kiss hasn't really changed in 20 years and are selling out stadiums! And yeah he knows he is balding and ROCKING IT!
He looks and sounds like a dad if they dressed up as a misfit
I love jerry so much, but I am just not into the new misfits stuff...just isn't the misfits without Glenn and Doyle
I love you Jerry. But damn you for introducing Mike Graves to the world. What have you done, man?!
Boo hoo
@@kameo_kid Ha ha. You cried because someone made fun of Michael Graves 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
he started the Misfits with Glenn? ....I thought he came on board after Cough Cool?
The first show ever and the first song recorded had Jerry on bass. But yes the idea to create the band was Glenns
I can't be sure. Is he trying to be Hawk or Animal?
OH!!!!! Mr. JELLY ONRY……..!!!!!!! 😘
Oh Look, Punk's decomposing corpse
Jim Richard ok that was good
Jim Richard Careful smartass. You'll be long gone before mirrors are.
Jim Richard lolol have you looked at danzig lately? lololololololol
Jim Richard Ooo look, it's generic teen commentator number #1,000,000,000,000,000,000
I like The Misfits music and certainly respect Jerry for his contributions to music, but you have to have a sense of humour about ageing and our eventual fate. This comment was not aimed at insulting this man, just a reflection on the state of punk now as a shadow of its' former self, using this guys undying devotion to the look as a metaphor.
IPushHard ***** GilbertSyndrome
The irony of punk bands wearing uniforms was definitely lost on me as a kid.
It’s fucking Swiggy from Lavern & Shirley
Anarquía
I see Jerry as a punk Legend the same way I see Jello Biafra and Johny Rotten
Yup and Joey ramone
@@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305 Joey is just too shitty of a person for me to respect. Being loud and arrogant is one thing but he was physically and mentally abusive to everyone around him. Not sure about Rotten but I know atleadt Biafra didn't do that
@@laa0fa502 nah Joey is a legend and a sweetheart.
@@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305 their manager said he heard him constantly beating his girlfriend of the time and he would punch Dee Dee in the face for messing up at all. Seems like an angry violent egomaniac to me.
@@laa0fa502 I doubt it. Dee Dee would kick Joey's skinny ass before joey would be able to punch him.
I guess Doyle aged well
He is 138
he's a hottie
Malchik Blue it's a devil lock
Anyone whos met Jerry knows hes a solid dude. He gets way too much shit.
This guy needs a gimmick -
quote from Premier Guitar - Doyle, Misfits youtube comment section.
funny how hes making it seem like he made all these big decisions back in the day. it was danzigs idea and creation. had he not met danzig we wouldnt even know jerry today
jazzblaster jerry created the look and sound idea.
jazzblaster no he didn't. all the creativity came from danzig. The imagery, the horror themes, and the songwriting. Jerry just played bass. The misfits literally was danzig. He could've recruited any musicians to play the instruments and it still would've been the same songs.
jazzblaster You seem to not know anything about the Misfits, lol. Jerry had a major role to play in the development of the band...
i dont listen to danzig. i dont think anything he did after the misfits ever came close in terms of his songwriting. I only love the misfits. the fact is GLENN WROTE THE SONGS. HE WAS THE CREATIVE FORCE. big deal jerry came up with spikes and a hairstyle. That doesnt give him a right to shit on something he didnt create cause he cant make a living any other way. then he acts like its for the fans. hes not continuing the legacy hes ruined it. its like getting nirvana back without cobain. thats retarded as fuck and all of you know it. if jerry wants to live off of playing someone elses songs thats fine but dont call it the misfits.
jazzblaster When has he ever shat on anything Glenn did? Clearly he loves the music they did back in the early days, or else he wouldn't be playing it, let's face it, they now have their own material to fill a set-list. He clearly has made a living in other ways, including the very same metal-shop where they created the Misfits gear for playing live, so again, you don't know shit, lol.
Jerry, where’s your friends? I’m making lasagna! Bring Doyle, Glenn and ya friends
What is that?
When my old wife Marilyn Monroe learns the importance of self-expression like this, I will be much pleased.
I have never once fired a pistola, but I found slugs huddled up against an unfinished wall on Calle Revolution in 1914.
Solamente agua por favor.
¡SALSIPUEDES!
"DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD HONEY!"
lol jerry only loved to make banana cream pies lol
well u know what they say? you lie so- long u eventually believe them!!
