They are influential, they created a new punk genre. They revolutionized punk. Plus, the logo is badass. Being a Misfits fan, they are the reason that I started playing guitar, fast paced riffs is what it's all about.

Yea, that logo they stole from an old comic book and pasted on bedroom slippers, shot glasses, and converse all stars really defined them as a band.

Mixing fast paced rock n roll/Punk with 50s B-movie imagery?

I think The Cramps beat them there.
In fact The Damned were doing it as well.

ROFL.

The Misfits took an awful lot from UK Psychobilly band Demented Are Go, both visually and aurally. The whole schlock-horror image originated with R&B legend Screaming Jay Hawkins in the 50s, followed by UK R&R'er Screaming Lord Sutch in the 60s and eventually by The Cramps in the 70s. These in turn gave us (Via a somewhat circular route) in 1982 Demented Are Go.

Before you slate me for that, go look DAG up. You'll be surprised.

Ooops..... I've just done some research AFTER posting. Never a good idea to do it that way, I should know better....

I'm going to hold my hand up here, I'd not realised how long The Misfits have been around, only having come across them in the late 80s.

My apologies, ignore that last post. I'll shut up now
