Glenn Allen Anzalone (born June 23, 1955), [1] better known by his stage name Glenn Danzig, is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. He is the founder of the rock bands Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig. He owns the Evilive record label as well as Verotik, an adult-oriented comic book publishing company.
- Danzig was originally supposed to be Samhain's fourth release. Formed in the wake of the Misfits' messy demise, Glenn Danzig's gothic/pagan-influenced outfit Samhain established a devoted cult following of their own with their first three records — 1984's Initium, 1985's Unholy Passion EPand 1986's Samhain III: November-Coming-Fire, all of which had been released on Danzig's independent Plan 9 label.
- Danzig had no idea who Rick Rubin was before the Def Jam owner approached him about signing to his label. Though Rick Rubin had already established himself as a rising industry talent by the summer of 1986, thanks to his production work with rappers LL Cool J and Run-DMC, and his founding of the influential Def Jam imprint with hip-hop promoter Russell Simmons, Danzig had never heard of him before their paths crossed at The Ritz.
- Rick Rubin was not a Misfits fan — or even a Samhain fan, for that matter. Though Rubin raved backstage at The Ritz about wanting to sign Samhain, the truth was that he really only wanted to sign Glenn Danzig, and build a new group around him.
- "Philthy Animal" Taylor of Motörhead was one of Danzig's original choices for a drummer. After signing with Def Jam (which would be renamed Def American in time for Danzig's release), Danzig and Rubin spent six months searching for the right lead guitarist; they finally found one in John Christ, a previously unknown musician from Baltimore.
