[kj] 1000 SUNS Outside Gate and PHANTASMAGORIA

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I saw the deleted scenes, not the commentary. Yes, there were some 
Misfits flyers in the backgrounds of deleted scenes. Nevertheless, I do 
think that at least _Earth AD_ is a US hardcore album and, like I said, 
the Misfits played the same DIY circuit, etc. Yeah, they hd a slower, 
more melodic sound most of the time, but if youve seen bootlegs of for 
example, the old cable access show "Why Be Something You're Not?" (after 
the Negative Approach song) they were on that with other hc bands, 
always played on tours, in support, etc., with them.
