In the fallen remains of the Resurrected Misfits rose a project that would find its origins through the vision of Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein. Doyle, the hulking Misfits axeman, with his unmistakable presence and notorious guitar sound began to write songs that would be recorded and released under the name Gorgeous Frankenstein.
The name is a combination of both Doyle and his wife’s Stephanie Bellars (Gorgeous George of WC…wrestling fame) names into one conceptual theme. Doyle originally wrote the first few songs of the Gorgeous Frankenstein project for his wife George to dance to. Reuniting after many years with his mentor Glenn Danzig upon a chance occurrence initiated by George, fate dealt a wonderful hand. A rekindled friendship now between them, Doyle brought Glenn’s attention to his new project.
Danzig soon suggested he produce and release the songs on his label Evillive. Glenn has played a major role in the development of the band in the sense that he has overseen and guided the efforts from the very beginning. After having his foundations set, Doyle then set out to assemble the band. Argyle Goolsby of Blitzkid fame was suggested to Doyle though friend Dr. Chud after Goolsby completed a tour as touring bassist for Dr. Chuds’ band the X Ward. Upon Chud’s suggestion Goolsby sent his audition tape to Doyle and not long after that received the call to join the band. Time elapsed as a drummer and vocalist was sought.
