- Rolling Stone recently took legendary horror rockers the Misfits shopping at Toy Tokyo in Manhattan to check out the shop's impressive stock of toys, statues and assorted memorabilia. The band members – who showed up in full costume! – also chatted about their long history and their latest album, The Devil's Rain. "Right now the band is 100 percent of our effort," says bassist Jerry Only. "I think this is our best work and our best lineup."

That awkward moment when the bass player is the only original member
Land Of Nerds the funny thing is his was the only noticeable instrument you could really hear in some of the early music
That awkward moment when Jerry Only technically isn't an original member. I chuckled when he commented about starting the Misfits. Diane DiPiazza was the first bassist when Glenn Danzig formed the Misfits. Jerry wasn't even in the picture yet for at least another year...
🐢🐢🐢AllTheWayDown they never recorded anything with Diane so she doesn’t actually count
@@octapulse In 2017, Darkride Films Interview original drummer Manny Martinez said that from what he remembers, there was no Diane Dipiazza or Jimi Battle in the band. Before The Misfits, Mr. Jim, Diane, and Jimi played in a band with Glenn doing covers, but the original Misfits were Glenn Danzig, Manny Martinez, and Franche Coma.
Thanks for playing.

Imagine having a legend like Jerry Only come through your store in full regalia?
I'd pass out
I'd laugh 😂🤣
0:34 "mmmm... children"
Lmao
Him and Glenn basically did start the Misfits. Jerry also made their instruments in his fathers workshop, introduced Doyle to Glenn and helped teach him how to play. Without Jerry, the Misfits wouldn't have been the same.
I feel like if Jerry didn't use the name the misfits and it was just a solo project his stuff wouldn't seem so bad, but when you use the name people have a certain expectation
ill respect a lot jerry only , all his job and dedication for the band , and the fans ... what a guy , some people says that he just likes the money
who doesnt like the money?
The only reason he's doing any of this is for the money. It's why there were stupid things like Misfits lunchboxes and cover albums by brass bands when he had control. He said he would get back together with Danzig if Danzig accepted Christ or whatever. LOL. Just Glenn turned into a Jesus freak because Jerry couldn't possibly be a hypocrite and do the Misfits thing again for the money, right?
MICHAEL , DOYLE!, DR CHUD! COME BACK!! PLEASE!!
“Okay, I’ll do all of the talking, you girls just stand around and look pretty. What could go wrong?”
-Only Jerry
???
Real
The current line up is good but it's not the best or the original
Glenn? Doyle? Michale? Anyone? Fuck it's just Jerry..... :/
So that's why they call him Jerry Only haha.
Tom Rattle this is the best thing someone has said to me in the past 2 years
Misleading Title said Misfits go shopping when it was really just a fucking misfits cover band :(
+Zach One how can you cover your own songs?
Yeah I know. It's sad. Not the same at all.😔🤘
I think he means "Best Line up" as in how the band functions. There was always tension with Danzig and Graves. This line up just gets along better.
And by finest work I think he means that this has the most effort put into it.
I have to admit their last album is really great!
if doyle and glenn are not there then they aren't the misfits
@Anna hideous was not that important but was still a great singer
@@geraldsteward8448 I think that those were their best albums, but Glenn has all the classic songs. Either way it would be cool to see them on tour at the same time
he's talking about the originals, so we better need to shut the fuck up?
@anna you mean Graves right? I agree.🤘
@@geraldsteward8448Hydeous a great singer? 😂😂
That's a great store. Expensive as hell but cool store. Thanks Jerry for keeping the band going. Hope to take my kids to a Misfits show one day.
Dude that’s crazy about the mars attacks original cards he said about the specific one where the alien is shooting the dog. That’s the exact same one that freaked me out and completely turned me off as a kid too
Current lineup the best? I'm not a hater of Jerry, and I'm fine with the lineup, but the Devil's Rain is not the best album, nor is this lineup the best.
The original line-up was the best, by far... Yet I'm not sure that it'd be good if they reunited. These days, I think Jerry is a better vocalist that Danzig - Glenn sort of sucks these days. Album-wise... I think its better than Static Age and the best they did since Walk Among Us.
Sometimes I wish they'd bring back Michael, he seems to kinda miss the band. Plus I just really liked that incarnation of the band
Best work? Best lineup? Finest hour?... Guess Jerry's memory is beginning to fail him cause he acts like he doesn't remember anything from the late 70's and early 80's...
for me their best lineup ever is now, with the reunion shows
You mean from 1995-2000?
In all fairness, he can’t exactly look at a camera and go “yeah, we’re fine but Jesus remember how good we used to be?” 🤣
NEED TO SEE THE MISFITS LINEUP WITH DANZIG!!!! THIS IS THE REUNION I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!
legendary "Misfits" mr. Jerry Only is a really nice & cool guy to have a conversation with cuz he takes his time in answering ur questions! i met mr. Only @ a Chiller Theater Convention some years ago in New Jersey & we talked about the making of his new bass guitar that he designed & he expressed evry detailed about it! thx JERRY O!
Love this album! Could as well be recorded wit Graves - same style.
Graves is a FAR better singer than Jerry. Musically, "The Devil's Rain" was the 3rd era of the Misfits... It wasn't terrible and I've gotta give props to Jerry for keeping the Misfits going... And now Glenn, Jerry and Doyle are playing together again. If it weren't for Jerry keeping the Misfits name alive, we might not have had a reunion... Even Doyle and Glenn doing Misfits songs, was because of the brothers keeping it together. Bad blood between brothers? I've never heard of such a thing... That was sarcasm, of course... It's great to see them doing the Misfits again, even though it's kinda bittersweet, because, in my opinion, the Misfits were NEVER a festival headlining band... They were a punk band.... For people to enjoy in dingy, dirty rock clubs.... Like Harpo's, here in Detroit...
Slippy Jones I know, I genuinely loved Devils Rain.. its not the best album though
You know what? Perhaps Jerry doesn't have the most integrity of musicians out there, but he still busts his ass to keep the Misfits going. Sure as hell ain't the best lineup, but that possibility was erased when Danzig left and as far as I'm concerned, he's doing a great job of keeping their legacy going.
Though I must agree, all the merch is a bit much.
I love the way there just casually walking round in there make up and stage gear. :)
Jerry Only wrote she when he was 17, Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only said so :)
I'm talking about the current lineup posing as The Misfits.
the thing about the mars attacks cards -- i did damn near the same thing when i bought my first pack of dinosaurs attack
Only era isn't quite as innovative as past work, feels more like filler tracks with a few songs with potential to be 'good'. Either way, I still come back and listen to the music. Great stuff and I honestly believe Only still has that genuine spark. I hope he can make something good.
Basically, all of the money that the current Misfits make, goes into what they do. They produce their own albums, put it out on their own label which they fund themselves, they pay for their own tours, make their own stage sets for the shows, design their own clothes, Jerry makes his own bass guitars, makes the add-ons for the drums and then helps design the shirts. Basically, they're one of the most DIY bands around, selling merch is hardly a crime, who doesn't do it?
There's nothing wrong with it at all. Although I'm kinda grateful they haven't sold coffins and condoms yet. Lolol
@@bezoticallyyours83 There's still time for them to go full-on KISS 😄
@@GilbertSyndrome Shh 🤫 😁
Anyone know where I could get there toys at ?
Jerry even if I don't agree with something you do you are pretty cool man
Why doesn't he call the band Only Jerry?
I met Dez =) Very tall. Very friendly.
Jerry's even sweeter.
Thank you!
HELL YEAH JERRY !!!! MORE TOYS!!!
Two things that go really well Misfits and nerds
Only is trying to run his own business now- give the man some credit. Glenn is running his.
These guys are such schlubs, everything Jerry Only touched, he had to say something memorable about, only he had no idea about anything he was talking about. "I have that Balzac bat in my garage, only it's black, that's the rare one right? Oh there's one right up there." What a cheezy schlub.
He also added more than just a look, he added to the sound.
I love the Godzilla cameos in this
Jerry's A Genuine Guy 🔥
did jerry say he created the misfits!?
Draven Aylesz he did
He was added on from Manny, but he and Glenn created the Misfits as we know and love.
Created it, then killed it.
You mean keeping it alive.. I been here snice day one, so sick of you fucks..
Mars Attacks was a trading card collection that came out with a brand of bubble gum in the 60's/70's...
that's heaven.toys toys toys..
The Devil's Rain is your finest work to date? Are you fucking insane? It's not that bad, but come on.
Jerry and buddies are such a bunch of thinly-disguised nerds. This is a compliment. Google-goggle google-goggle we accept them one of us..."When a toy's just one solid object, there's not much you can do but blow it up or burn it."
WOO YEAH! HA HA HA! I knew someone who spent a lovely afternoon shooting her Barbie dolls at a rock wall with a cannon.
Jerry Only seems like such a cool guy
Jerry is awesome hes very nice .
In punk, aswell as a lot of other genres, "the look" mattered, look at the Ramones, the Clash, the Pistols, the Damned etc, the Misfits weren't any different. It's not important, but it can be to some.
My basic point was that Jerry had a lot of influence over the band, and without it, they'd never have been the same. This is undeniable. Without Jerry, there'd have never been a Doyle.
I don't think Glenn had the Devilock back then, he had weird cropped hair.
The misfits members have a great look
"Probably our finest work to date" c'mon Jerry. Be honest. The Danzig era was amazing, the Graves era was fucking great, but now... It's just eh.
cool
I love the little saying claptoo verata nichtoo I don't know how it's fucking spelled but that is an Army of Darkness reference as well.I love that movie.
Klaatu verada nikto
Hardly, his record label seems to be doing well, they don't have to pay many costs for their shows since he's their sole promoter, and his family are the technicians and roadies... If anything, Jerry is rollin in it right now, much like Glenn is with those Oujia boards he was selling online.
Glen Danzig is selling Ouija boards online? 🤔
Jerry...you were not a child when Mars Attacks! came out.
How come I only recognised only on band member
...Love the fuckin jacket on Only =)
Charming! Um - I never thought I'd say that about The Misfits.
There no band hes the only original member there left
0:42 brother come on now...
"Mmm, Children!" -Jerry
LOL 2:29 even the new guy didn't believe that Lie >.<
83 was the year the Misfits died, and Samhain took the reigns.
I saw them in 1998 in Roanoke, VA at Hell's Kitchen. It wasn't the Misfits then, and it not the fuckin' Misfits now.
At 0.24, It sounds like Jerry it is saying ball sacks 🤣
Who says what the Misfits are about writing classic songs? If anything, thats more in line with what Jerry is about, Glenn was about technique and creating new sounds, hence the many reworkings of their original songs, like "She" and "Cough Cool."
Every band is about Merch, so is Glenn, have you not seen his online store? Merch is the only way most bands actually make any money, the Misfits fund their own albums, tours, merch and label, aswell as make their own stage sets and instruments.
They do pretty well on tour from what I understand. Mostly kids that don't know about the lineup changes and go "YAH MISFITS" though. Going to the show just to say "I saw the Misfits".
Graves once said something like Jerry Only will always be Only Jerry. It's too bad.
Eric and Dez tha are all 3 gods!
You obviously missed him in WCW, also, wtf is with his on-stage pants?
What made me laughe was the twilight doll behind the MISFITS
Ha, I got one of those Doyle/Jerry teddybear figurine sets!
Guess you should watch The Day the Earth Stood Still to find out where Army of Darkness got that...
Jerry Only is the only one who doesn't look like a kid clebrating the Haloween...
I only see Jerry
'Probably our finest work to-day' HAHAHAHAHAAH
And yet you still watch and comment on their videos, haha. Well done, sir!
You got it wrong right there. Look at the static Age Cover. Does Glen have a devil lock? No foo.
Jerry.. please stop! We used to love you! What have you done?
Graves era?????
"Where did I say re arranging music isn't a talent?"
You seem to think that Jerry is talentless, didn't you say he wasn't a musician? What, so now you're saying he IS a musician? Make your mind up, kiddo.
Ok I get why people don’t like devil rain but honestly it was a good album better than project 1950 but Devil Rain is a top 5 album
Ummm. I think it's safe to say Static Age is their best to date!!!
Who said he didn't? The man was in WCW, haha.
Glad to see Jerry made some new friends to play with after Michale, Chud and his brother dumped him. :)
So I'll assume your comment "Manson/Twiggy write good songs" was an ill thought out mistake?
If he did about as much as Jerry did in 77-83 then I can officially say "Jerry/Glenn wrote some good songs."
Musically, it is better, not sure how you can deny that. As far as anything else goes, of course he's going to talk big about the current band, what do you expect him to say, "we're awful?"
It's all opinion on what you like and don't like, but in all fairness, it is better musically than it's ever been as far as production and actual playing ability goes, especially live.
In all honesty, Danzig's latest performances have been epic, and the new album is quality, so i'm not sure what you're talking about...
Jerry only is fucking cool.
Misfits the best
Either way, they earn many nerd points for knowing the phrase.
What? He was a founding member.
I cant say "UGH" enough.
Anyone else realized about the new moon and jesus action figures!? hahahahaha
Word
When danzig left... you weren't born yet......
I think he was 15.
Can you imagine the late 70's era Misfits without Doyle or Jerry? Oh wait, I don't have to imagine it, I can actually listen to it..... wow, it's shit!
Please, Glenn practically achieved a state of constant arousal when Doyle joined, the very image of the Misfits changed with his arrival, and with the Misfits, "image" was everything, because their live shows were abysmall, all you have to do is listen to them and hear it yourself. Same old shit with you haters, too much time on your hands.
Glenn Danzig should've kept Misfits
*"Jerry Only"
THIS IS THE MISFIST COVER BAND
You think every song off 50's was just played exactly like the original? Wow, haha.
