Halloween by The Misfits, from 12 Hits from Hell album, 2001
TOPICS: Music/Entertainment
KEYWORDS: halloween; misfits; punk; undead
Per
Wikipedia, The "Halloween" single was the last Misfits release to include guitarist Bobby Steele. Both songs on the single had been recorded in August 1980 for a planned album. During the sessions bassist Jerry Only was grooming his younger brother Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein to join the band, and Doyle recorded his own guitar tracks and overdubs separately in addition to Steele's. The tracks were mixed in September, but in October Steele was ejected from the band in favor of Doyle and the planned album was scrapped.
Here is a clip of Bobby Steele's band, The Undead, playing a kicking version of Halloween in NYC.
Punk lives.

Punk — another goodhearted Anglo-American invention. Seems almost quaint in retrospect.

I used to work in NYC. There were tons of Misfits fans everywhere (they're from Lodi NJ). Bobby still gigs in the area and tRhe Undead is as close as you can get to good, old school punk.
However, he also draws good bands on bills. My favorite was a punkabilly band called the Omega Men, who did THE greatest cover of Number of the Beast ever.
