Glenn started in the music business at the age of 11 - first as a drum roadie, and then as a bass player in a few local garage bands. Glenn had never taken vocal lessons, but the first time he auditioned for the role of a vocalist, he was surprised at the powerful voice he could achieve. His vocal prowess soon got him noticed in the local scene. Throughout his teenage years he sang for several local bands, such as Talus and Whodat And Boojang - most of which played half original songs and half Black Sabbath songs.
In 1977, twenty-one year old Glenn Danzig got serious about music, wanting to do an all original band. So he started The Misfits, taking the band’s name from Marilyn Monroe’s last film. The Misfits combined campy horror and sci-fi lyrics/imagery with Danzig’s melodic vocals, backed by chaotic punk thrashing.
In 1983, after releasing several singles, two full albums, and gaining a small, but devoted underground following, Glenn disbanded The Misfits due to increasing animosity among the band members and his dissatisfaction with their musical abilities.
He devoted his full attention to another band project, which he had already begun working on, called Samhain. Samhain was a darker, more occult and “real life horror” themed band that strayed from the tongue-in-cheek imagery of The Misfits. Samhain released two full length albums and an EP of gritty deathrock music.

"Who Killed Marilyn?" single says Glenn Danzig. Not Misfits, not Danzig, so I tag it as the cover says.
