Glenn Danzig gets knocked the fuck out

Danzig knocked out
GLENN DANZIG Gets 'Knocked Out' By NORTH SIDE KINGS Singer Following Arizona Gig - July 4, 2004

DANZIG frontman Glenn Danzig allegedly got into a scuffle with NORTH SIDE KINGS singer and frequent SOULFLY collaborator Danny Marianinho following DANZIG's performance in Tuba City, Arizona Saturday night (July 3). The following is Marianinho's official statement regarding the incident, as sent to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"Before crazy rumors begin to spread I would like to explain what happened:

"NORTH SIDE KINGS (web site) were to play with DANZIG last night in Tuba City, Arizona. To make a long story short the whole show was a disaster and a few bands got bumped off. Mr. Danzig (or his management??) refused to push back the original scheduled time slot so NORTH SIDE KINGS and RAPID FIRE would have to play 'after' his set. Whatever — we agreed to play later because we drove 6 hours and didn't feel like going home without playing.

"Needless to say, as soon as DANZIG was finished, the venue turned on the lights and DANZIG's crew and the staging company began to take the stage apart almost instantly. I confronted Mr. Danzig backstage while he was signing autographs and told him I thought he was an asshole because of his 'rock star' attitude and no consideration towards the FEW other bands that got bumped off tonight. In a fit of rage he turned around and slammed me into the wall yelling 'Fuck you, motherfucker,' trying to be a big, tough guy in front of his fans. I, in self-defense, punched him in the face, knocking him out as he was attacking me again. He went down, bleeding from his mouth, eyes rolled back, and in shock that he got knocked to the floor so quickly.

"A friend happened to tape the entire incident and this is all documented. Many witnesses saw him attack me, and I did what any man would do.

"It was unfortunate that this went the way it did — and I hoped Glenn Danzig learned a valuable lesson tonight: Do not lay your hands on anyone unless you can handle what may happen.

"I apologize for nothing, except for the poor little kids that had to witness this big asshole get his ass kicked in a matter of seconds..."

Not that I like violence or anything, but that made my day.

13:02 / 16.07.04

It would be kinda neat, but I think there might be some underlying motives with the guy who knocked him out. His record label releases these tapes called Boston Beatdown, where they show a bunch of clips of kids fighting at shows and band members fighting kids at shows. Supposedly these are the guys who randomly jumped Mobey, just to get it on tape and sell it.

I'm Rick Jones, bitch

I guess his healing factor was on the frizz, then?

15:05 / 16.07.04

I think he's just too short. Seriously. Watch the clip again, you'll see that Danzig is prepared to block the punch, puts his left arm up a blocking motion right on time, and the punch goes straight over his block.

15:11 / 16.07.04

My friend sent this to me last week, it was the first time in a very long time where i typed LOL on instant messenger and really honestly meant it.

17:13 / 16.07.04

Give the guy a break, he's gettin' pretty old. What is he, like 138?

03:20 / 17.07.04

Rollins would have kicked both their asses.

I tried Googling yesterday to find any evidence that Rollins had ever lost a fight- EVER- and couldn't find any. NONE AT ALL.

It's probably a really good thing for Glenn to embrace his inner child, you know?

I think he'll be a better and stronger force for Evil and Netted Shirts when all's said and done.

Rollins was put in hospital after playing a gig in Leeds. 6 Squaddies gave him a kicking cause he was "a big mouth idiot" according to one of the guys who claimed to have been involved.
Squaddies eh?

Danzig once tried to intimidate members of Def Leppard and ended up backing down in a quite humiliating fashion, what was he doing pushing that guy?

10:15 / 20.07.04

What was that line from Bob Fingerman's semi-autobiographical comic, Minumum Wage? Ah yes- "Great. I've just been judged by rock's most perfect Wolverine clone."

10:40 / 20.07.04

To my certain knowledge, Rollins has had his ass kicked by the following people:

Al Pacino

Ice T

Keanu Reeves

Brett from Suede

Lydia Lunch

Marc Almond

Sue from The Sooty Show, and that's just off the top of my head.

10:48 / 20.07.04

I'd pay good money to have Lydia Lunch kick my ass.

Why did Ice T beat up Rollins?

So far all I've been able to DL is an audio-only file. "BubbabubbabubbabubbaSIXDAYSbubbabubbabubba" "FUCKYOUMOTHERFUCKER!" "FUCKITY!" SMACK! "KICK HIS AAAAAAASS! KICK HIS AAAAAAAASSS!" (This bit sounds dubbed in) "NORTH SIDE KINGS UNDEFEEEEEETED!"

What the hell is "Fuckety"?
See, all this could have been avoided if Danzig had just bought Bubba a doughnut.
"UmmmmDOUGHNUT! (slobber) I WUV YOO, GLENDA ZIG!"

08:30 / 21.07.04

I tell a lie- it's "BubbabubbaSIXHOURSbubbabubba".
Apparently Bubba had to drive six hours without a doughnut, no wonder he was a pissy fat bitch.
And if South Side Chicken Wings are such a "hardcore, non-touring band that doesn't seek publicity", what were they doing driving six hours for a gig, let alone having a camera (obviously their own, from the logo and music edited in) ready to catch Bubzilla punking someone who matters?
Rollins would have kicked both their asses.
Hell, Dave Mustaine would have kicked both their asses.
Now that be a party! Bubba, Danzig, Rollins and Mustaine in a four-way steel cage deathmatch, opened by Courtney Love and Wendy O. Williams in an evening gown flaming barbed wire baseball bat ladder match. Special guest referee Johnny Cash, commentation by Sid Vicious (the Sex Pistol, not the wrestler) and Lawrence Tierney.

Mustane famously backed down after offering out Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies. I actually think if you hit Rollins he would just burst into tears wondering why you'd do such a thing.

17:47 / 21.07.04

Wot about Phillip Anselmo?

16:12 / 25.07.04

in ref to the Def Lep story, i'm sure i heard that this did result in a fight with one of the guitarists and he did loose on this occasion too.

Jack The Bodiless

18:31 / 25.07.04

Yeah, that was with Vivian Campbell (Steve Clark's replacement in about '93 - girly-named, curly-haired, and prone to wearing blue dungarees on stage). Danzig ran back to his dressing room and threatened to sue our Viv.

Funny how perceptions can be different from realities. Def Leppard, as a bunch of ex-welders and navvies from Sheffield, could almost certainly have any of the louder, more aggressive bands like Danzig or Pantera (Anselmo is all mouth - take away his gun, and he's just an ugly redneck who doesn't wash often enough). Similarly, in a fight between the nine members of Slipknot and the nine members of UB40, I guarantee that Ali and his mob would have those masked clusterfucks hiding in their tourbus.

21:43 / 25.07.04

I heard the Def Lep drummer fought him with one arm.

07:15 / 26.07.04

Woah- Slipknot/UB40 Battle Royale...

I'm all about Rollins fighting Ted Nugent at the moment. I reckon Rollins could have him, but The Nuge'd fight dirty, possibly outwitting Hank's possibly Bushido-like sense of honour.

12:59 / 27.08.04

Mm.

Well to the best of my knowledge, Rollins would have a bit of trouble getting out of a fight with a wet paper bag with his dignity intact. He's had his ass kicked, from Key West to New Jersey, by the following people:

Alain Dellon

Cathy Dennis

Terence Stamp

Stallone

Kenneth Williams

Basil Brush

13:20 / 27.08.04

So ( sorry, double post, )

I think Nugent'll WASTE Rollins, and laugh while he's at it.

If I ever met Rollins, I think I'd say,

" Hi Henry... That's such a fabulous name... Gosh, and you're so cute... Are you in the military... Oh well, were you 4F honey... It happens to the best of us... It's just that you're rather short.

04:44 / 28.08.04

Terrance Stamp?! Zod v.s. Rollins! Sweet!
"I defy you, Henry Rollins! Come! Come and kneel before Zod! ZOD!"
