Having been a fan of his since I was really young. I first started listing to him play when Z-Rock was played here in Dallas (94.5 before The Edge was there). Those who knew me in jr high and high school knew how big of a fan I was. Being a friend of Glenn Danizig, he was the official photographer of the Misfits. At the time, he was also the drummer of Rosemary’s Babies. Glenn also invited him to become a drummer for the Misfits, but he declined to stay with Rosemary’s Babies.
After the Misfits disbanded, he and Glenn formed Samhain. Eerie was originally the drummer before quickly switching to bass. In 86 Samhain was signed by Rick Rubin. After London and Pete was replaced by John Christ and Chuck Biscuits, Samhain would be no more. The name would then change to Danzig. Eerie would stay with the band for the first four albums as well as the EP Thrall: Demonsweatlive. Those four albums and that EP were the best that Danzig ever put on tape. Glenn, John, Eerie, & Chuck were IMO the best lineup that Danzig ever had. I have only seen Danzig play live once. It was here in Dallas at the Bomb Factory during the Thrall tour. I also had the chance to meet Eerie back in 2008 in Arlington. He was so cool to meet and would answer any question you had. Recently I had the rare opportunity to obtain Eerie’s autograph. Eerie graciously signed my photos of he and I. Thank you so much Eerie. I truly appreciate it.
