....-Glenn arrives at 7:45 (half hour before showtime, they go on at 8:15 exactly and have a 90 min. set...park curfew by the city/police is 10 PM sharp)...when he arrives, he says he's not going to play. (He) Says he doesn't like how the banners are hung on stage and doesn't like the lighting or stage size (all this was advanced in email and phone well in advance and the band/crew loaded in mid day and were happy with it and said it would work...stage wasn't small at all). He wouldn't leave his trailer to go look at the stage, though, so the lighting company drew up specs for him to look at of the stage lighting 50 feet from his trailer and brought it to him to look over and prove him wrong.
-In the meantime, Glenn's bodyguard gets pushy (literally) with Murder City Devils manager and tells them they can't have their friends watch MCD from stage and wants them to cut their set. (Then) kicks them off stage and gets physical with the band and staff....oh, also Danzig says he's just as big as Slayer and Slayer is playing a bigger stage on Sunday and that's bullshit and wants to play the same stage slayer is playing...or won't play. makes him look bad.
-It's now 8:15 and time for them to go on. The band is ready, corpse make ups done, guitars tunes. Glenn says he's not playing and that it's too cold outside. He said big stages should have windscreen so wind can't blow on him from the side. The stage managers then goes and gets tarps and tarp the entire side of the stage so now wind will hit him.
-It's now 8:40. We explain that it's cutting into the set and he's going to have cut the 90 min set if he doesn't play soon, as park curfew is 10. He says he doesn't feel like playing and says "I got a death bug. If i go on stage and get sick, I'll die. I'm not getting sicker for this show" (NOTE: he totally looks and seems fine...no coughing, no paleness, no vomiting, just some balding and a gut, from what i can tell). We get the Dr. and he says he can do a B12 shot or anything he needs if he feels bad...Danzig says he only treats illnesses naturally, so won't do that. We finally get him to agree to play and have already informed his crew that it's only 60 mins (9 PM at this point) and they start cutting some songs from the set list, so they can still do Misfits, but obviously didn't cut enough.
-They went on almost and hour late due to the HANDS DOWN biggest rock star moment we've ever dealt with and then he tries to start a riot and blames the fest, the city, the cops and everyone but himself. (He) goes backstage and tries to fight a few people and gets in the van and leaves.
The end.... we're bummed to. We wanted to hear Skulls."
