"On rumored fight between the DEF LEPPARD and DANZIG camps at a European festival back in 1993:
“He [Danzig] made a rude comment to my wife, and somebody, not me, gave him a bit of a kick from behind, and I guess he was mad about his soup getting spilt. It must’ve been really good soup for him to get that upset, but it was Germany, so the soup probably couldn’t have been that good; it was probably really, really dark, with all sorts of nasty stuff in it. Anyway, Phil Collen (Vivian’s fellow DEF LEP guitarist) was ready to go — he’s a black belt in karate, but Danzig backed down. It really was over nothing, other than that bowl of soup.”"
Maybe it was that French Onion soup that stops him from getting the Death Bug…
I love any story about Danzig that involves the mundane.
It just becomes amazing and hilarious by default anytime Danzig is doing ANYTHING that a regular human being might do.
Eats cake. Spills soup. Buys cat litter. Cleans his yard.
It’s amazing.
If there was a cable channel that gave me a Danzig reality show that just showed him doing stuff that normal people did, I would pay $600 a month for it and watch it 24-7.
Danzig writes a check.
Danzig builds an Ikea shelf.
Danzig eats a hamburger.
Danzig buys socks.
Is there any Danzig does X scenario that doesn’t work?
Well, is there?
Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for Dio as a person. He’s definitely someone I would’ve liked to have met, but that Heaven & Hell was an hour long (maybe more) and it felt like it went on twice as long. Dio just had really long introductions to each song, explaining the story behind nearly all of them and gloated about how great each album he did with Sabbath was. On a side note, Vinny Appice’s drum solo was complete and utter crap.
After the first two sample tracks were released I’d already given up on this release. I’ll probably go see them in November, but I’m not interested in picking up the album when I could use that money to replace missing CD’s I need for “Sad Wings of Destiny” and “Killing Machine”.
