wow I knew Danzig was short but I thought he was about my height, I guess if we have nothing else in common flynn and I can feel tall for a day
He is very short. I met him at a signing back in my high school days and I was kinda shocked at how short he was. I am 6 ft and he seemed around a foot shorter than me. But he still looked like cool dude though! He had these great Ray Bans on that looked really cool. I recently got the same Ray Bans because I always remembered them from that day. ...Okaaaay pointless...
given how he always seems to have a chip on his shoulder I'm surprised he never got in on the giant goofy metal boots like KISS or Gwar so as to draw attention both towards and away from his height
Wow...you guys are really obsessed with height! I feel like I need to start wearing lifts to hang out here...fuck. who gives a crap?!? (somebody want to sing "Short People," now?)
God that album was so good. Classic. I saw them on that tour too. It was so awesome. I need to dig it out of my archives. I haven't listened to it in years. And I have no problem with shortness, it was just a shock cause the dude looks frickin tall and massive in all the photos and videos. All camera trickery...
I met him once back in the late 80's, I worked in a big indie record/comic store in downtown Pittsburgh...he was very nice. He mentioned he had been buying up all the Aurora horror model kit original box art. I don't remember if he said anything about Japanese toys. My old band stayed with Tim Kerr /Big Boys in Austin, he had a room full of Japanese toys. One thing that stands out- an inflatable Space Cruiser Yamato kite- it was like the ship with clear wings. Really cool.
i'm tall. it sucks. when i'm at work, i'm expected to lift all the crates off of the top shelf in the warehouse. lifting 50+ lbs overhead is not fun, no matter how tall you are. who's kirk hammett?
Memories of my annoying second grade teacher saying "I need one tall boy to help me with this task..." while looking straight at me. I don't mind helping out with reaching for things but it gets old. And then you have lower back problems. I don't know who this Danzig fellow is but he needs better hair.
Id love to see Kirk Hammet's pushead collection, or any Metallica band member's pus vault for that matter.
One thing I don't have is lower back problems...because short people only have an upper and middle back... I have some REALLY tall friends who complain about things, but I tell them to suck it! Models have problems like normal people too, right?!? ahem.
