10 Rock Singers Who Fronted Two Great Bands
10. Glenn Danzig
Even kids who don't know exactly who the Misfits are, the names of their songs, or who was in the band in its heyday seem to recognize the band's distinctive logo. It's a symbol that will live on well past the demise of any and all incarnations of the band itself.
Glenn Danzig was a founding member of the group, known for their horror punk style and frequent line-up changes. Within a few years, however, Danzig himself quit the band, and went on to form the metal band Samhain. While Samhain would find some success, releasing two albums and an EP in their original run, Danzig would have more success in a band utilizing his own name, Danzig.
As Danzig, the band would have a massive hit with the song Mother, and Glenn Danzig would once again be back in the spotlight. During this time, he worked with famed producer Rick Rubin, and wrote songs for the likes of Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison. Not too shabby!
In later years, the Misfits would tour without Danzig, but he would always be known as the band's founding frontman, and have his eponymous act to fall back on.
