You're 19 years old and, as fate would have it, you get thrown into one of the most legendary, cult status, punk rock bands of our time. As a singer/songwriter you've basically reached the pinnacle of your career. So...what do you do next? Well if you're Michale Graves, the young man brave (and possibly foolish) enough to step into the role of lead vocalist for the Misfits over a decade after the band was disbanded by it's original vocalist and founder Glenn Danzig, the answer is simple...you quit.
I love Michale Graves and he's a very interesting figure in music but this was a very stock interview. Why even do the interview if you're just going to ask the same questions?

believe me, most attention spans wouldn't have sat through & read the interview in it's entirety, which was about 4 times as long.
i'm not so much a fan of this guy or anything, but...
after i learned that he changed his last name to "Graves" because it sounded cool, it kind of made me feel a little cooler for having already been born with it.
I never knew much about Michale Graves, but was so excited to learn about conservative Punk, thanks! Stock questions or not, I learned something new. Great job Illyria!
I have always been a Fan of Graves I think he brought a new dimension to the misfits that they so desperately needed after such a long break.
It is a shame he seems to be such a conservative and against all the he once stood for. As an example a while ago I read some other interviews with him and he is all anti choice and a little bit of a redneck. I just thought this was weird considering who he was in the past.
