Glenn Danzig calls North Side Kings punch a setup

Friday, May 25, 2012 7:59 AM PT


Remember when Glenn Danzig pushed North Side Kings frontman Danny Marianino and got punched in the face? "North Side Kings are undefeated!" Lol. That happened in 2004. If you can't recall, here's the infamous video:





In a new interview with La Weekly, Danzig was asked about the incident. In responding, Danzig neglects to mention that he pushed Marianino first, and calls the whole thing "a setup." Here's the relevant exchange:

You were punched in the face by North Side Kings singer Danny Marianinho after a gig in 2004. What led to this altercation?

That was him trying to get me on camera punching him so he could sue me or some shit. I forget what it was. When everyone was breaking it up, he coldcocked me. What are you going to do?

So he had planned to hit you?

Yeah, those were his guys with the camera. No one knows that. Well, back then they did. It was a setup.

Did it hurt?

No. [Laughs].

Danzig is such an ego freak. You got knocked the fuck out. End of story.
So, eat that cock flavored humble pie and get over yourself.

I will never not LOL @ that video, but definitely still don't know/care who North Side Kings are. I'll just assume typical tuffguy hardcore whose lyrics are 90% "you wouldn't say that to my face" and "standing up for my family" tripe.

Regardless if you like nsk or not, danzig ran his mouth, tried to get tough, and got knocked the fuck out. End of story. Having an ego or a "rockstar" doesnt protect you from that. And north side kings all day over that piece of shit!

^you know... youre right. Theyve only toured with bands like soufly and have played shows with the biggest bands in hardcore and metal and have their names on things like this, that is still relevant 8 years later. What have you done?

anonymous

^ this isnt relevant. and who is pumped to play with soulfly?

touring with shitfly is hardly something to be proud of. unless you like touring toxic waste dumps and playing to borderline juggalos. what have i done? thankfully not listen to northside kings, so i'm 100% more content with my life in that regard.

This is about as real as the moon landing. Obvious shoop all the way through.

Man I'm getting old. Anyway, the following day Danny put up an apology on the NSK website to Danzig and his fans saying on a "normal" day Danzig would have destroyed him. He just reacted quickly to the situation without thinking. Why would he say that if this was a setup? Hardware, who cares? I still love the video.

North side kings are still undefeated!!! I laughed pretty fucking hard when I read that! Danzig is a fucking tard, end of story. I walked in to s soulfly/otep show earlier this year... then realized what the fuck I was doing with my life and left. I'll never get those 25 dollars back. fack

North Side Kings still holds up better than most of the "Hardstyle" hardcore bands today. The lyrics were "typical tough guy" but they did it well and it was believable.

Muthaaaaah, tell ya children not to punch my face.

blah blah blah more bark than talk, that's all Danzig is. North Side King would kick Danzig's ass again any day. Physically and musically.

lets say *instert big name metal frontman who everyone likes here* starts a new shitty numetal band but for some reason my imaginary band gets to open for them. i'd be pumped. i mean max was the original singer for sepultura. i think itd be sweet. yea i dont like soulfly but still

but most of you are probably like 14 are like whats a sepultura so ill forgive you

The problem with claiming to legit knock Danzig out, when it's obvious you got lucky, is that every single tough guy juice hog is going to come gunning for you to prove he's tougher than Danzig, without ever having to face him. Also, where was Henry Rollins when all of this was going on?

I was pretty upset when Danny knocked Danzig out. Danzig could not suck dick for a week and half. Glenn gets grumpy when he can't get his man juice.

Anyone who things Danzig is "tough" must be an out-of-shape 5'2" Jew like he is. What the fuck are you people talking about.

People saying this was a "cheap shot" are fucking retarded. Danzig pushed the guy. Once you put hands on anyone in a confrontation its fair game to get knocked the fuck out. Danzig sucks

First off, Old sepultura is where its at. Get your shit straight. Secondly, North Side Kings was one of the the most underated bands in hardcore. I hate all of you gays more than you will ever know

North Side Quiefs did virtually nothing after this, way to suck a bag of musical dicks, Danzig is still Danzig on the other hand and he can fuck any goth metal bitch literally anytime of the day, North Side Quiefs are still beating off to early 90's penthouse heirlooms.

the only good part of this is how danzig tries to say he got sucker punched after some people tried to break it up. clearly pushed a dude and got clearly knocked in the jaw.

Rock star can't admit defeat. Talentless meat head punches people. No one is surprised.

Danzig is nothing but a washed up fucking pussy now.
He got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT and can't be a man and admit it.
It's not like he was laid out by some small dude, that guy is a fucking refrigerator.
If it didn't hurt, he wouldn't have gotten laid out, he would have ate it and attacked him.
That and Danzig pushed him FIRST! How can he say it's a set up when he made a move FIRST! The dude just responded like most people would.

^ Lulz

Also yeah man older Sepultura is fucking outstanding! I remember being pissed when they split up and more so after soulfly came out. Though I did get to see Sepultura play with derrick green (terrible live) at the same show I saw slayer and also saw soulfly play with PANTERA during their last tour through Houston. I think I can die happy because I've already seen every metal band worth a fuck live.

what a worthless fucking comment list. danzig is a narcissistic egomaniac piece of shit. Danny was being very polite in the video and did not provoke or intimidate Danzig before Danzig pushed him. And in the late 90s on the s/t tour Soulfly was fantastic. posers will deny this post

this is the most pointless and irrelevant shit that has ever come out of lambgoat. oh wait...

Old Sepultura (Arise, Chaos A.D.) is some classic shit, don't get it twisted. And I'm not a huge Soulfly fan, but they are a fun live band that plays old Sep better than actual Sep

HAHA @brokenhero, your a fucking refined steak cutlet, brokenhero is/was in charge of the NorthSideKings street team and is still getting over having Danny Marianino tatoo'd in old english on his breast plate.

Anonymous posting was the worst thing Lambgoat has ever done. Look at all these crybaby gays arguing about wether or not Danzig deserved it. Who cares about either of these musicians?

It didn't hurt because you don't feel shit when you're knocked out. No matter how much I love Danzig and The Misfits, egotistical pricks need to be knocked out sometimes.

NSK is easily one of my all time favorite bands. its really too bad they are more known for this stupid shit, and not the awesome, awesome music they wrote. organizing our neighborhood is easily on my top 10 best hardcore records ever list

Ten gay years after and Glenn Danzig is still talking about how butthurt he was after being knocked cold. What a fucking stupid ass crybaby gay. I guess anyone who thinks that knock-out looks painful on the video has never imagined the traumatizing emotional scar it must have left on that wimp-ass sissy. How pathetic,.

Danzig acted like a a$$hole, pushed Danny Marianino, and got knocked on his butt for being a larger than life douchebag. Anything he says contrary to that is spin control.
