Never saw the concert video, but it was curious how this song became a hit 6 years and 4 albums after it was released. His songs were fairly trimmed down for their time (latter 80s metal), and so maybe it wasn't until Black Album & grunge made slow, simple riffs fashionable that he was finally noticed.
It got re-recorded for the pic related ep and a new video made which gave it a second wind on MTV. Also Danzig had a bit more name recognition than he did when the debut came out.
A lot of alt/punk acts got that treatment through the 80s because of the hair metal ghetto music was going through. If you weren't energetic and high-octane, you were nothing. That's why the culture of the 90s "creeped up" on the big 80s and started proper in 1992.
How popular were The Misfits during their original run?
Misfits never made it out of the clubs and didn't get any air time. They were competing against disco, classic rock, and singer-songwriters, and later, the nu-British invasion of punk/nu-wave/and heavy metal. Misfits, and bands like the Ramones, sounded amateur by comparison, as did all "punk" bands. The mainstream expected a level of virtuosity from performers, so guitarists and singers had to have some obvious talent, and the compositions of songs could get pretty elaborate. The only "punk" bands to actually do pretty well were those that adopted the more intricate music styles of the mainstream, and Misfits, and the Ramones for the most part, never did, hence the lack of audience.

What did we think of it?
For me it was “Bad Bathory,” Glenn having to write himself as the coolest character in the room
>Lost the soundtrack rights so the Cleopatra release is literally unscored
Terrible luck lmao. The bespoke title ballad he wrote was really good too. Honestly should have stayed unreleased on DVD until the music was restored.
Danzig did straightedge before anyone and never called it straightedge. Just decided around age 15, "Drinking and smoking is fricking gay, I'm gonna lift weights and be evil". Also he would totally post here if he were born a couple decades later. Hearing him sperg out about superior Japanese animation on the Pushead interview is downright endearing.
He's claimed to "Believe in God, but also believe in Satan" whatever the frick that means. Last tour he did had two Satanist bands supporting, and part of his fights with the other OG Misfits members was that they all became born-again Christians and said that Danzig had to repent.
Those first three albums are goated. Too bad he fell of hard after that.
First albums had Rick Rubin to tardwrangle him into shape. I get wanting to try new styles but his production went to hell when he tried to DIY literally all of it personally. I think the new stuff could be a lot better if he'd hired another producer. Okay, you want to sound like Ministry this time? Cool, but you need a real studio guy to massage the tracks. He obviously still has kino in him, like the title tracks for both his movies were really good classic 'Zig.
He liked Japanese animation because it had all the sex, nudity, and violence that Western animation was missing since America randomly decided in the 50's that cartoons were explicitly for kids, when they started showing kids cartoons in the theaters as shorts.
His primary admiration of art though is Western 70's-styled pulp from the likes of Frazetta.

its usually because its included in some movie/show which triggers requests for radioplay

Is he religious? Saw them on the heavy metal zine covers all the time, never dug into the music

YOU LEFT ME
I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
YOU GOTTA COME BACK
One of the best songs ever written and performed. Danzig is also ultra based, so that helps.
This is where I heard it the first time

I prefer the cartoon version
Saw Danzig in September with Behemoth and Midnight. It was surprisingly good.
All things are possible through Glenn.
