Right im starting a petition to get michales ass over here in the uk.even if you aint british can you please leave a comment pretty please!!
this would mean a lot to me if he could get here so leave a message or that guy gets it >>
Haha .... just what i was thinking!
It's not Michales fault .... it's OUR place as part of his Street Team to get his cute ass out here! Spread the word .....
Splatter his pics, music, videos and banners all over your My Space page, try to get him airplay in the UK, tell all your friends, talk to people about his music at clubs/gigs, wear his shirts... Seriously, how much of his stuff is available over here, excluding Misfits. WE know he is special, but not enough other people do... we need to change that!
"If you build it (a fanbase), he will come"! Ok... cheesy as hell, but you get the point!
I don't have the patience...... I'm getting over there to see Him ASAP!
It's all good if you CAN go USA but im too young and too poor *sniff*.And it's difficult to spread the word to people who, umm, dislike michale for various reasons.Worse thing is some of them are right.But it still doesnt stop him from being a kick ass singer, even if he is a little *shudder* emo. Anywho where am i meant to get the stuff from?Shirts are impossible to get without shipment of which i aint got no money to pay for let alone be patient enough to wait for. I can spread the music but all i get in return is it either sickeningly emo or suspiciously similar to Nirvana.We really need to get him over here and bring his merch with him because musics always better live than overproduced in a studio.All we need to do is milk how he used to be a MIsfit or say it is the Misfits with plastic surgery and a new album.Job Jobbed.
So
Yeah, i have to agree with thefallofman. Although we might not like people who don't like Michale, we can't criticize them because i bet there's people that you dont like. Anywho i don't see many people contributing to the UK Tip Jar
How is Michale Emo? If by Emo you mean his songs are emotional, thought provoking and actually say something .... shouldn't all music be 'Emo'.
Sorry... I'm old and don't quite get the whole Emo thing, around here though that word is only ever used in a negative way.

For your Graves in the UK fund

waaaaaaaay!!! only a few more thousand to go lol ![]()
haha, the tip jar is ace.
I dont think its about the money to be fair. Cos' two years ago he was near enough on a plane to England to start a UK tour.
It's also kinda weird how he's never played FiendFest (German version, no the Jerry version)
ALSO, if theres any UK people here, and Blitzkid fans here, Blitzkid have just anounced a show in London, and are about to anounce a few others XD
Oh, any UK Graves fans, add me: www.myspace.com/on_my_way
hey hayley.
im trying to get graves over. 2 year ago he for to get his visa with jv bastard.
so we was all gutted when he never came up to glasgow.
if you havent already join the street team and get venue details for promoting him over here.
they are coming over soon apprantly
lindsay
when you think about it the money theyll have to spend to get here will be covered by the ticket price and the sale of merch (considering how its impossible to find anything for sale over here goddammit) and once theyre in uk then theyre right next to ireland,france,norway,sweden,netherlands,denmark germany etc. so travel wont be expensive.
As for the street team, im working on that.So far i got 'emo','Nirvana' and 'argh he looks weird'(describing the flashy background thing on the website) but i aint giving up. My birthdays next week on the 2nd feb so ill blast some music out even if im not allowed anyone round which i usually aint, ill party on my own. Thatll teach the neighbours who michale is
"they are coming over soon apprantly
lindsay"
Really? Where did you find this information out?
I thought Michale would of been fully booked this year.
i was talking to one of the street team lead people's
i was asking and he sed well you can give us venues details. so i did. and he sed that michale is travelling europe sometime this year. hes going to fit it in or sumthing. i cant frigging wait dude.
lindsay
HAYLEY. i know its hard to get michales things (clothes and albums over here) my sisters boyfriend LOVESSS the misfits. and my fiance loves michale aswell. that dude rocks man. i hope he comes over. the crazy fools forgot to get there visa thats why they never came 2 year ago lmao. crazy dudes. keep me posted. do you have a myspace.
mines is www.myspace.com/emopunkgurl
not emo btw lmao.
my fiance is punker :) :) :)
laters dudess
my fiance is a punker.
he shows off his mohawk in proudness



COOL!!!!!! There are so very few punks around now (or at least true punks) so thats friking awesome that hes got a mohawk. I got a myspace but i never go on it so theres no point. Anyone on here can email me if they want im not too fussed
Good news to hear.
No offence, but you don't have to have mohawks and dress in tartan trousers to be a punk.
Chances are, that it will depend on the sales figures throughout Europe of Punk Rock is Dead and Return to Earth which will determine how soon Michale tours overseas. If record sales are low, there is no incentive or motivation to risk the expense envolved in touring overseas. If sales are great, then it is likely that Horror High would sponsor a European tour. So buy the Music and the merch...and send letters to Horror High telliing them to promote their artists and promote a tour in Europe. Also keep in mind that these guys have day jobs and can't always just leave for 3 to 5 months to head to Europe at the drop of a hat. Remember this is a indy label punk rock band were talking about, not one with major label MTV exposure, despite Michale's notoriety and past History with the Misfits. If you want to see him bad enough, you can always get a passport and buy a plane ticket to the U.S. It all depends on just HOW bad you want to see him play I guess.
Your fiend,
Shawn.
No-where sells Michales stuff though.The only way is to get the stuff shipped over of which is expensive.I've put in requests on numerous websites to stock his stuff but i dont think they've caught on yet and i even went to Birmingham to see if they had anything there but they didn't.
Not good
They don't sell Michale's merch in England, the closest you'll get, is a Misfits shirt.
I live in WOlverhampton, so I'm in Birmingham alot, and I know they dont sell Michale'sstuff there.
Come to think of it, they probably don't sell his stuff in any shops in America (apart from maybe cd's)
Where are you from by the way?
And its okay saying get a passport and come over here, some of us don't have that much money.
It can't be about the money for Graves, cos' he had a tour booked for the UK for the PRID album.
It could just be about the fact that hardly any of them can get the time to come over, Michale's year looks pretty packed to be honest, and so does J-sins (If he gets the new MM album out that is)
But, BUT, have no fear, as I have heard it 'through the grapevine', that Graves WILL be over this year, most likely in the summer.
If that happens, I will happily sexually pleasure anyone on this board.
I live in Buton-upon-trent. Along with having the initials spelling B.U.T its also FULL of chavs with the 'winshill wasps' , 'Stapenhill spiders' , chavs from 'down the avenue' (Harper avenue) and etc.For those that don't know of it its kinda near Derby.
As for Graves coming over...YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! However knowing my luck it'll be somewhere like London, or one of the other cities that i don't live anywhere near that always gets everything. I could get to Brum at a push but it'd be perfect if he went to Derby, of which no-one does lol. I'm not too bothered about the ticket price coz i could always go into my bank account to get the money, and my mum was willing to give me £30 to pay for me to go see slayer, but i didnt want to get eaten so i didn't go, fun as being eaten sounds.
As for the 'sexually pleasure' thing, i wouldn't say that if i were you, someone might take you up on that XD XD XD
Ok....just so you get the picture, it's not any different here with merch and cds....You have to buy it through mailorder. Horror High is a SMALL independant label. Distribution is lacking and it is just as hard if not impossible to find any of Michales solo stuff or merch in a record store. So everyone has to pay the shipping....you should all be thankful the discs and merch are priced well below the average, therefore making the xtra shipping costs not that much extra when you really think about it.
Regarding the whole point I was trying to make about the passport thing is this....Michale is not wealthy!!!!! It is just as expensive for him to travel overseas as it is for you. Regardless of what you believe, he does not make very much money per show.....aprox $100.00 U.S, is his 5th of the booking fee if he's lucky. My suggestion to all of you is simple, if you want to see him there, contact his booking agent and get involved with booking a show for a European tour. If there is enough interest and a full tours worth of venues, then I am sure it will happen!
Your fiend,
Shawn
1119 - When Michale anounced a UK tour, he anounced Wolverhampton (which is down the road from you) also Rugely, which is even closer to you.
Last time he anounced a UK tour, He anounced a load of shows, So I think when he comes over, he won't just anounce one London show, only bands like Danzig do that (no offence like).
Also, add me to myspace: www.myspace.com/on_my_way or my MSN danzig_graves@msn.com its always nice to hear from a UK Graves fan.
Also Shawn, I wasn't saying Michale is well off, I know he isn't believe me, I know Michale. And he's practically been my hero for about 6 years. He can afford it. Otherwise, why did he anounce a UK tour 2 years ago. It's not about money, its about fitting it in.
I'm not saying his intentions are not sincere, what I am am saying is that even with the best intentions, shit happens. Small independant bands have a very difficult time touring other countries, regardless of whether they are from the US, UK, Japan, or Russia. There are bands from your side of the pond that I wish I could see or could have seen but never came to the US, or if they came the shit fell apart halfway through... it sucks I agree. That's why all I can say is book the damn tour yourself then.
When I wanted Michale to come back to my city, I booked the show. I paid my own money to promote the show, if I did'nt he was'nt gonna come to my town. I put my money where my mouth was and brought him to my city/state. We also had him booked last time he toured, but the shitty van broke down the day of our show and it was cancelled along with the rest of the tour, because why? Shit happens! There are no guarantees, but you can increase the odds if you take control of the situation and do what is necessary to make sure Michale comes to your town. Thats all I can say...Good luck,
Your fiend,
Shawn
I agree with Just Meat, Graves was by far the greatest thing that ever happened to the Misfits. Dont get me wrong i will listen to anything misfits, i even have the fiend tatooed on my forearm. But i just prefer Graves to Danzig...
PEACE!!!
I agree with you AJ, that's my point.....an overseas tour is difficult to plan and execute. It sucks that you have to wait so long to see Michale, but that's how things go sometimes.
Your fiend,
Shawn

Take this as my official signature to get Michale to the UK, preferably to Newcastle.. Carling Arena would be nice
.
1119
hopefully the summer.
cant wait. like i said they are supposed to be coming overr
lindsay
Consider this a signature!!!! and i will donate cash as much as i can afford (which wouldnt be much) as long as i get to go to the gig and i get a photo with Michale (as i no doubt would go in full Make-up)
Also how do i get on the Street Team???
Michale should play in Eastbourne (Haha) or possibly Hastings (in THE CRYPT how appropriate) i could probable get a few contacts together and talk to a few people i could even arrange support bands that come with built in Audience (Her Name in Blood and H8ball most likely) but i have the minor problem of being in Australia (Doheth).
Greetings to everybody!!!
Mr.Graves after your UK tour,pls come in Greece ;)!
