"My other review of this album caused a couple of people to correct me. Even though in my review I clearly stated that I agree Danzig shouldn't have pushed Danny, the point was, Danny shouldn't have confronted Glenn while he was signing autographs. I don't have a problem with the fact that he defended himself. You must not have read my review. If Danny had waited until Glenn was done, walked outside and then Glenn pushed him then so be it he should hit him but he didn't do that and by not doing that he didn't show respect and that is what hardcore music is about. The other reviewer said I had never been to Arizona. You are right, I live in Long Island, New York. Where bands like Vision of Disorder, Biohazard and Madball started out at. Those guys wouldn't have done what Danny done. It happens to bands all the time, you get over it. I could not imagine Tim Williams of VOD confronting Agnostic Front because of being treated unfair. As for the guy who told me to shut my mouth that headline is for you. In your wildest, wettest dreams you couldn't shut my mouth and neither could your man Danny. Back to the first reviewer, Glenn is not an idol to me or a role model. I prefer Minor Threat and Ian Mckaye or Henry Rollins. I have always said that Glenn had way to much attitude but this time he was in the right. I have been in the hardcore scene since 1982 when I seen the Cro-Mags. I'm not trying to come off as preachy but someone needs to tell you younger fans of the new hardcore that the key word has and always has been, respect. By the way, I still think this album is terrible. I like some new hardcore bands, Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die and Hatebreed but this is not a step forward in hardcore. These guys remind me of the band I was in when I was 17. To both of you, grow up. I'm not a flunkie, I hold a Master's degree in Psychology and have my own practice. I do these reviews for fun. Read some of my other ones and see how everything I review gets people mad. To me these reviews are like a study for me. As for Arizona being hardcore, that reminds me of the movie about the white boy from Iowa that thought he was a thug. You come to Long Island and you will see hardcore. There is nothing but concrete here. The only place you can walk on some grass or sand is at the bottom of the East River. Listen guys, if it is hardcore and you are a hardcore fan then you know deep down inside if this band is hardcore so stop reviewing my reviews."
