 Danzig's official website Danzig-Verotik recently conducted an exclusive interview with the metal legend, where he talked about the bands upcoming 20th anniversary tour.
Several excerpts from the interview are included below.
Q: So this is the 20th Anniversary of Danzig?
Glenn Danzig: "Yes, the first Danzig LP was released in fall of 1988 on Def American."
Q: And that was Produced by Rick Rubin?
Glenn Danzig: "Yeah, Rick Produced and for that record was very hands-on."
Q: How so?
Glenn Danzig: "Well, He was at every recording session and insisted
on doing each track until he had what he felt was the best take. Danzig
1 was recorded at 3 different studios in NYC and there are multiple
reels of tape for each song from each studio."
Q: That sounds insane
Glenn Danzig: "I think the only insane part was not recording over
the takes he felt were totally unusable. Each time we changed studios a
truck would have to come and pick up all the 2" Multi's and bring them
to the next studio. It ended up being a lot of tapes. I understood that
he was looking for that perfect take but that was Rick.
Q: And did he get it, what he was looking for?
Glenn Danzig: "You'd have to ask him, but I think so. At the time
he expressed his happiness at how the record turned out and how it was
received in the press."
Q: OK, Enough on the 1st CD, Tell me what you have planned for this upcoming 20th Anniversary Tour?
Glenn Danzig: "It will be my first full US Tour in three years.
There are even two Canadian shows and possibly some dates in Mexico and
South America.
Q: You mentioned before we started the songs in the live set would be special?
Glenn Danzig: "For this 20th Anniversary Tour, the set will start
off with 'Skin Carver' and then go in sequence from Danzig 1 to 2 to 3
and on and on up to the present.
Q: Wow, so for the Danzig Fan this is probably the ultimate set list?
Glenn Danzig: "I hope the fans will be happy with the song choices
I've put in. Obviously each person has their own favourites they'd like
to see performed, but I've tried to make sure there is something to
appease every Danzig fan from each record.
