Danzig is ridiculously entertaining even when he's not trying to be, so naturally he's going to be entertaining when he needs to.
Danzig took to Facebook on Feb. 4 to make the announce and post a ridiculously grainy still of one of the opening credit shots, because why not?
"We can finally confirm that all post work on the DANZIG Legacy TV Special is now complete. Director Mark Brooks (Metalacolypse) & Danzig have finished all editing & post EFX. Here's a shot from the end sequence…We think you'll agree, it came out epic!!!
Fangs to all who attended the tapings, wait until you see the final product, WOW!!! We will be posting different shots from the Legacy Special every week so fans can get a little sneek peek at it. Enjoy you Demon MF's!!"
More information was divulged to Full Metal Jackie during an interview, courtesy of Metal Insider:
“The ’Legacy’ TV special was an idea that was brought to me and it was an idea that Mark Brooks had; he does ’Metalocalypse’. It was basically to do like a Danzig ’Legacy’ TV show loosely based on the Elvis [Presley] ’68 Comeback special; it revisited a lot of his past and a lot of stuff. So we did that with the ”Legacy” TV show, which is almost done now. It was performance pieces that I do, then there’s the band playing live, we do [songs from] Danzig, Samhain. Then for the Misfits thing, we did what Elvis did when he sat down with Scotty Moore and the Memphis Mafia and we just did them all right there live, sitting and everyone’s around us; there’s no backstage, we’re just on a little podium in from of everybody. And so we did a bunch of Misfits songs and Steve [Zing] was just playing on a cylinder or something; it was pretty cool. We were doing the ’Legacy’ shows anyway around that same time period, so we just thought we’d put it on film while everybody was there.”
So it's not a comedy series? I'm actually a little disappointed, though truth be told there's an extremely solid chance I'm still going to watch it because the dude has put out some seriously excellent music in his lengthy career. Chances are it won't top Danzig's most legendary TV appearance:
