Misfits recent History
"In 1995 Jerry Only settled a legal battle out of court with co-founder Glenn Danzig, effectively allowing him rights to the bands name on a performing level, while they split the money on merchandising. He reformed the band with Doyle (who played guitar from 1980 to 1983), vocalist Michale Graves, and drummer Dr. Chud.
Chud and Graves left the group in 2000 to form Graves. They were replaced on the M25 tour by Dez Cadena, formerly of Black Flag and DC3 on guitar and Marky Ramone, formerly of The Ramones, on drums. Jerry took up the singing duties at this point. In early 2005 Marky left the group and Jerry brought in ex-Misfit and Black Flag drummer ROBO to rejoin the group. A new album is currently underway, and there are unfounded rumors (denied by Graves, Doyle and Dr. Chud) that the new lineup will be similar to the 90's lineup of Graves, Doyle, Only and Dr. Chud, along with Dez Cadena as a rhythm guitarist. If this happens it will mark the first time in Misfits history that several guitars have been incorporated into their sound, not counting 12 Hits from Hell. Recently on CHOM 97.7, Jerry only stated that is working on a new album. He also said that hey would like to make two albums. Currently four songs are ready for the album, but they're still working on the rest."
