Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" feat. Glenn Danzig. (Or, more accurately: "Glenn Danzig".)
For a minute there I thought Danzig was going to break up with his wolf and start making out with Shakira.

When I saw Samhain, Glenn was asking for the music to be turned down. Not enough though, they still managed to bore the entire audience.
The opening band, the Minutemen, rocked the house however.

Something leads me to believe that this is someone's after-work entertainment project and not a collaboration between Danzig and Akira.
Though it should be!

Er. The sort of "producer" that has access to Audacity, a cheap microphone, Windows Movie Maker, some effects and Shakira samples, and a Youtube account.
Pretty witty, though, I should say. For a Youtube mashup, this is actually catchy.

This is hilarious--I still listen to Danzig II and III on a regular basis and it's spot-on. Also: I think I'll have to buy that Henry and Glenn comic--here's a picture of the two of them together in very early days. Also also: if he's shorter than Rollins, I'd bet that the guy who decked Danzig must have several inches of reach on him. (Five gets you ten that he's still trying to cadge drinks on that story, though.)

If by "amazing" you mean "unintentionally hilarious caterwauling by a dour muscle-bound meathead who couldn't sing his way out of a wet paper sack with the help of a full gospel choir", then I agree with you completely.
Now don't get me wrong: I loved The Misfits. Own the t-shirt. But the WHOLE POINT of that band was that they were COMPLETELY STUPID. They were FUN, like the low-budget horror movies they adored. They were a bit of "ooooh spooky!" fresh air in a punk scene that was increasingly doctrinaire, strident, and no fun at all.
Then Glenn Danzig realized being all dark and scawy and shit = $$$$$. And he started taking himself oh so seriously. And he released a torrent of musical diarrhea that continues to trickle out to this day.
I mean, c'mon dude. "Mother"? That's "amazing music"? Really? It's Led Zeppelin levels of pomposity played with the talent of Mrs. Fisher's third-grade recorder recital. It's CRAP. Utter CRAP.
It deserves as much mocking as it can get.
Also Glenn Danzig is short and frowny, and short frowny guys ALWAYS get picked on, because it's JUST SO GODDAMN EASY.

Your favorite band sucks etc... I'll cop to owning Danzig I,II & III. But really, that picture of Rollins and Danzig makes me think of how bad another band I really liked, Black Flag, sucked. Seriously those guys couldn't play,or sing, for shit. Same with DK, The Adolescents etc... but so what? I'll take a caterwauling Danzig over a squeaky Bieber or a mopey Morrissey any day.

Yeah, same here -- MUCH younger me met Danzig at a record signing, and he was all smiles. I don't think his act is a put-on, exactly, but I do suspect he takes himself way less seriously than one might guess. (Also: This video is fantastic.)
