Biography

Jerry Only And The Misfits

Jerry Caiafa was born on April 21 1959 in a small New Jersey town called Lodi. Jerry received a bass in his senior year at Lodi High. While he was still attending Lodi High, he met Glenn Anzalone and together they started one of the most influential bands of all time, The Misfits. They named their band after Marilyn Monroe’s last movie. Together, with new drummer Manny, they recorded their first single; Cough Cool/She. The single was very unique with the absence of guitar. They released it on their own label, Blank Records. Later, they added Frank Licata and replaced Manny with Jim Catania. Each of the members had stage names to better suit the band; Jerry Caiafa became Jerry Only, Glenn Anzalone became Glenn Danzig, Frank Licata became Franche Coma and Jim Catania became Mr. Jim. They soon recorded the E.P Bullet which was their first recording session with a singer, drummer, bassist and guitarist. Later, The Misfits recorded their first full length album, Static Age.

After a switch in the band members, The Misfits recorded Horror Business E.P. and Night of the Living Dead in 1979 with new guitarist Bobby Steele formerly of the Whorelords. They also replaced Mr. Jim with Joey Image. Joey Image quickly quit while touring in the UK because he was sick of Glenn’s outrageous behavior. As soon as they got back to the US, The Misfits had another line up change when they recruited Arthur Googey and lost Bobby Steele due to personality conflicts. The Misfits soon recruited Jerry’s younger brother Paul Caiafa for the guitarist role. Paul soon became known as Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein. The Misfits now consisted of Jerry Only(bass), Glenn Danzig(vocals and lead guitar), Arthur Googey(drums) and Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein(rhythm guitar). This line up successfully produced the album Walk Among Us which was the Misfits Most Successful Album so far.

After their next single, Halloween, Arthur Googey left the band due to financial conflicts. The band soon released a live album named Evilive which featured Black Flag’s lead singer Henry Rollins. Their newest drummer was Eerie Von Stellman but he was almost immediate replaced by ROBO of Black Flag. This new line up recorded their newest album Earth A.D. . After a new tour, Glenn Danzig left the Misfits but not before recording one of the most influential punk songs of all time, Die, Die My Darling.

Glenn Danzig started a new band named Danzig, this was much slower and more musical than what he was doing in The Misfits. Danzig became an extremely well known band but not nearly as popular as The Misfits had been. Glenn had recruited

Jerry and Doyle were invited to play with Dr. Chud and Kryst The Conqueror. They spent a while with Kryst but finally decided to start the Misfits back up.

Jerry Only and Glenn Danzig had a court battle that lasted years over the bands name. Jerry Only finally won the name and resurrected the band. He and his brother Doyle recruited drummer Dr. Chud and new lead singer Michael Graves. The new band released American Psycho in 1997 which was a humongous success. This album was The Misfits best selling Album yet. In 1999, they released Famous Monsters.

Misfits fans, also known as Fiends, are probably the greatest fans that any band today has. They have lasted for just as long as the Misfits have and there are more than ever.

In 2001, The Misfits had their most destructive tour to date to commemorate their 25th anniversary. All the shows on the tour were sold out within days. The tour was completely stacked with positively the best roster they have ever had. The band consisted of Jerry Only, Doyle, Dr. Chud, Michael Graves and special guests Marky Ramone and Black Flag’s Dez Cadena. The anniversary was a historic landmark in the punk community. The tour was one of the most successful tours in the history of punk music. More people were listening to The Misfits than ever. The band are the kings of the punk music world and aren’t going to be giving up their crowns for a very long time.

"The Misfits have been preserved on determination and the sheer will to survive. That determination has been bound by the unequaled loyalty of our fan base of fiends. Our goal is simple, to be the best. In resurrecting this band I risked all that I'd done in the past and I dared to challenge a legacy born in my youth. Today I am stronger, smarter and faster than I have ever been. We plan to continue as always, eclipse the past, block the sun and drag humanity by the throat into a world of darkness filled with ghouls, goblins and creatures of the night, where we are king." Jerry Only

“ One thing is certain, The Misfits are here to stay and once again, every day is Halloween ” Jerry Only

This forum is about The Misfits being the greatest punk band not who's the racist redneck! If you want to start that forum you can, it's a free internet country, but i'm done arguing about this shit on a forum about how The Misfits rule, that's an insult to The Misfits. But I guess you just don't like The Misfits you'd rather listen to Green Day. So if you want to trash me you should do it on the Cincinnati Riots forum.	fat_johnny
ben i go there like every day almost whenever i say i can't come over it because i am going there u piece of shit mother fuck you	Fatjack_138

duh danzig sung he was a good singer but when it came to the bands personal issues he was a complete moron. But the misfits are the greatest band on earth and if someone says they are good they r wrong the are the best. You do not like them enough if they are tied for your first favorite band they should be your first always. You have never experienced them enough or to the maximum unless you meet jerry only and he wipes sweat on your shrit. i did.	Fatjack_138

The Misfits are one of the best like skank dog said :)	punk_kid_1992
misfits rullllllllllleeeeeeeeee i hate emo blahh hahahahahahahahahah	Fatjack_138
i started to read the comments here, but that fuccking green day loving shit made me just stop by like the third one, i mean just because greenday is "punk-pop" and just "punk" doesn't mean they don't still love cocks, they destroyed what was good at one time, and i agree that they are a major insult to the misfits, and the fact they covered blitzkrieg bop is a thought that makes me want to sodomize all those little greenday faggots and their fans with a snow shovel, even though one of those fans is my mom, she even deserves to die for that shit, excuse me if this message doesn't enitrely make sense, i'm funny feeling right now. s t one	Zirpatrod
i agree green day destroyd what was left of punk with dookie. that got pop and all of this other shit started like good charlotte. it destroyed much more than it created. you know what i mean	Fatjack_138
u love green day at that concert u knew the words 2 every single one of their songs u bitch	fat_johnny
not really i just like mouthed along	Fatjack_138
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!wutever	fat_johnny
"Yeah. I really didn't think all of these morons had congregated out of sheer luck. Obviously they come from a single place." Dear god, I didn't realize it either. I'm guessing its imbreeding.	SyntheticxDreams

so you dont like green day. you call people posers for liking them. okay. now why dont you take a long hard at your favorite artists list. ahhhhh. yes. there is green day. now why dont you shut your concedded little mouth.	insomniac818
your thing is kinda pointless because all it is is 2 dudes yellin at each other but green day isnt punk and the dude is gay for thinkin that green day saved punk cuz they arent even punk! and ill agree that misfits is one of the best punk bands ever but they arent the number one best	somedude
exactly green day is baisicly pop or it is pop and ben probably still likes green day but i hate them i did like them once but when american idiot came out i hated them. yeah and they r also emos fuck them G.G. Allin iz the best punk ever	krazy_killin_matafaku
Misfits were never good. Nothing made them good, they were three chord punk. There is nothing special about that at all.	Waking_The_Fallen71
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!INBREEDS SUCK!!!!!!!SO DO RETARDS!!!!!!!!!!BLACK IN MEXICAN MEANS NEGRO" What an idiot. There is no such language as Mexican. Mexicans speak Spanish! Black is the same word in Spanish in any country of Latin American, not just limited to Mexico.	lacunacoilfan15
in my opinion the Misfits are the greatest punk band ever.Along with Balzac and atreyu	emo-dale
I would definately agree on the misfits being the best punk band ever, or at least up there. Pretty motherfuckin awsum, if you ask me.	420girl69
