It’s official. Dave Lombardo (ex- Slayer) will be handling the drumming duties for the upcoming Misfits reunion shows. The classic era members, Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only, and Doyle, will take the stage together on September 4 at the Denver Riot Fest, and on September 18 at the Chicago Riot Fest.
Lombardo told Rolling Stone the following:
“The Misfits created the horror punk attitude and had a massive influence on modern rock, punk and metal. It was an easy decision for me to join them for these monumental shows. I was honored to be asked, and am very excited to be playing with the band.”
Danzig added:
“I first met Dave back in 1988 when Danzig did four shows with Slayer in the U.S., before the first Danzig album was released. Dave is one of the best drummers around, and I can’t wait for everyone to see him pounding Misfits songs live for these special shows.”
