GLENN DANZIG - "I Don't Think I'm Going To Tour Anymore"; Video Interview

Although it's been hinted at for quite some time, Glenn Danzig has gone on record stating that he will retire from touring after completing his current North American dates with Superjoint.

Danzig gave the news straight to Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann of Loudwire during an interview filmed yesterday (October 21st) before his band’s show at the PlayStation Theater in New York City’s Times Square. When asked how much time he thinks he’s got left on the road, Danzig replied that this very tour would be his last. “I think this is going to be it,” says Danzig. “I’ll do some shows here or there, but I don’t think I’m going to tour anymore.”

“We might do some Danzig Legacy things, but they’ll be very intimate,” Danzig explains. “Same thing if I do the Danzig Sings Elvis record, I want it to be more intimate where people can sit down and just watch the show… I know there are a couple of plans to go overseas and do some things there, but it will probably just be festivals.”

24 - Milwaukee, WI - The Rave

Danzig has signed with Nuclear Blast Entertainment for the North American release of his new Skeletons album on November 27th. Pre-orders can be placed at this location. Check out a video trailer below:

Skeletons tracklisting:

"Devil’s Angels" (Davie Allan & The Arrows cover)
"Satan" (Theme from Satan’s Sadists)
"Let Yourself Go" (Elvis Presley cover)
"N.I.B." (Black Sabbath cover)
"Lord Of The Thighs" (Aerosmith cover)
"Action Woman" (The Litter cover)
"Rough Boy" (ZZ Top cover)
"With A Girl Like You" (The Troggs cover)
"Find Somebody" (The Rascals cover)
"Crying In The Rain" (The Everly Brothers cover)

A labor of love that dates back to 1979, Danzig pulls back the curtain behind his influences on this new album. “These are my skeletons,” he affirms. “You may or may not know that I dig these songs. You could say that some of this music is the actual basis and skeleton of what I listened to growing up - ultimately informing the kind of music I like. It’s the foundation. If you took Elvis and Sabbath out of my life, I probably wouldn’t be the Glenn Danzig you know! I’m glad both sides are represented on this record.”
