I spoke to FFF staff after the show. Danzig apparently took too long with soundcheck and city rule says outdoor shows MUST end by set time. Now Danzig has been doing this for some time now he should know this stuff by now. He's a pro right? Set your gear up and PLAY!  I drove like Hell for 5 hrs ONLY for this show and Glen Diva pulls this "rules don't apply to me" BS. Respect the fans Glen. First saw your MISFITS at the Austin Ritz in 82 so I'm a longtime fan. Play another show out of respect for your fans. I know I've earned it. BTW, Danzig really played and sounded awesome, way better than the other 2011 shows I seen on YouTube. Do it again Glen. For Austin. Respect goes both ways. 

Also saw Danzig in 88 San Antonio. Met him on his tour bus afternoon before the show. I reminded him of show he played with MISFITS at the Austin Ritz Theatre 1982 and how that was THE Loudest live show I've ever been to! He remembered and he laughed! No lie, Danzig, Doyle, Jerry and Robo was the first punk/metal band I can say that for me had the "thrash" sound full on. Changed my whole view of what R&R could (and would) sound like. Really disappointed in Danzig inability to play within time limit at FFFFest, being that he is a veteran of 30+ yrs on the road he shouldamade more effort to do a complete show for us old-school fans that drove 300 miles just to see his show. Hope he makes up for it by playing Austin again with the SAMHAIN & MISFITS setlist. I just turned 50 and this is a real nice nostalgia show.  Coulda been better with a completed show. Danzig are ya listening?
