Danzig tickets have been selling out since the late 1980s, when Glenn Danzig formed the band. This heavy metal band was preceded by the horror punk bands Samhain and The Misfits before Danzig was formed and took off after its first album was released in 1988. Lead singer Glenn Danzig also writes many of the band's songs and claims early Black Sabbath as one of his major musical influences.
Danzig Tickets History
Danzig's hit song "Mother" was released on their first album, but didn't become popular until a live version of the song was featured on their fourth album "Thrall: Demonsweatlive" and was then picked up by heavy metal and rock radio stations. The live video footage of Danzig performing "Mother" became their first big hit music video and was featured on MTV, propelling Danzig into the mainstream spotlight.
Danzig tickets sell mostly to a cult crowd of fans, despite the commercial success of the single "Mother." Their only other single to hit the Billboard Chart is "Cantspeak" from their fifth album "Danzig 4."
In the mid 1990s, Danzig had some problems with accusations of mismanagement from their record label and the loss of a key band player Chuck Biscuits, who was later replaced by Joey Castillo. They also lost their guitarist John Christ who was replaced by Eerie Von.
Danzig finally started to find their spot again as a band and released a new album in 2002 "Danzig 777: I Luciferi" featuring the new band members. Danzig remains true to their goth metal and hard rock sound, as they continue to release music that keeps fans coming back for more.
What to Expect With Danzig Tickets
Danzig tickets are not for the faint of heart and neither is their music, which is dark, brooding with a hardcore metal sound with a touch of demonism that appeals to the punk and hard rock crowd of music lovers.
Their heavy metal has a blues quality at times that makes its sound unique and is revered by its fans. Despite not being a mainstream rock band, Danzig tickets always sell because true fans love and respect the music.
Who Should Attend?
Danzig tickets are for those over 18, especially due to the demonic content of many of the songs Danzig performs with this type of hardcore rock music. The atmosphere is best suited to adults, although parents do elect to take older teens to the concerts.
