A rumor was started a few weeks back that the big Misfits reunion that would reunite Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only and Doyle would feature legendary former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo behind the kit.
That rumor is now confirmed. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Lombardo confirmed what we already knew… he's getting behind the kit:
"The Misfits created the horror punk attitude and had a massive influence on modern rock, punk and metal," Lombardo tells Rolling Stone. "It was an easy decision for me to join them for these monumental shows. I was honored to be asked, and am very excited to be playing with the band.”
Danzig shares in the excitement:
"I first met Dave back in 1988 when Danzig did four shows with Slayer in the U.S., before the first Danzig album was released," Danzig says. "Dave is one of the best drummers around, and I can't wait for everyone to see him pounding Misfits songs live for these special shows.”
The original Misfits will play this weekend in Denver and the weekend of Sept. 16th in Chicago. As soon as footage surfaces, you know we got you covered
