Swedish television network TV4 conducted an interview with Glenn Danzig at this year's edition of the Getaway Rock festival, which was held July 7-9, 2011 in Gävle, Sweden. You can now watch the chat below.
When asked about the reports that he is recording an album of covers, Glenn said, "It's [got] lots of different stuff [on it]. Of course there's an Elvis [Presley] song on there, there's a BLACK SABBATH cover! Then I took some old biker-movie theme songs and made them all old punk-sounding or whatever! Just fucking around, really - just having a good time taking songs and giving them a different life or a different dimension. I just do what I feel like doing, as long as I don't just cover it, because that's boring to me. I wanna take it and change it and give it some other kind of thing. Otherwise just leave it alone."
DANZIG's previously announced tour of South America, which was scheduled to take place in late July, was canceled "due to complications with travel that were beyond anyone's control."
A "Danzig Legacy" TV special is being filmed in Los Angeles this summer and is being directed by Mark Brooks (Adult Swim's "Metalocalypse"). More information will be released soon.
As previously reported, Glenn Danzig will headline Riot Fest on October 7 at Congress Theater in Chicago, Illinois and perform a career-spanning show featuring sets of DANZIG, SAMHAIN and MISFITS songs with none other than ex-MISFITS axeman Doyle Von Frankenstein joining Glenn on guitar for the MISFITS set.
