The Misfits pretty much funds the Misfits. It used to cost me money to be in the band. I think we got paid the last gig we ever did. After that, we had to work to support our families.

The new album is a childhood dream come true. Got to sing with Ronnie Spector, got to cover a bunch of songs that were influential in drawing a line between the punk form and original rock and roll.

We're gonna try and bring on all the different aspects of horror movie making and bring on guests and show all these old '50's B movies. Not the real corny ones, the real cool ones.

We have a problem now with parents stealing their kids' CDs, so the roles have been reversed.

It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.

We got dragged through a system and got burned by crooked lawyers, and the list goes on and on.

The packaging has to really sell the product today, because kids can go out and buy a CD and then 10 kids can burn them. So you have to really be on your toes.
