Formed in February 1977, the group originally included vocalist and keyboardist Glenn Danzig, bassist Diane DiPiazza, who was replaced by Jerry Only, and drummer Mr. Jim, who was replaced by Manny Martinez shortly after, with guitarist Franché Coma added in the fall of that year. The band went through a number of personnel changes, including adding Only's brother Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein on guitars in 1980, before breaking up in 1983. Only and Doyle reformed the Misfits in 1995 with new vocalist Michale Graves and drummer Dr. Chud. Doyle and Danzig rejoined the band in 2016, alongside guitarist Acey Slade and drummer Dave Lombardo.

== History == === 1977–1983 === The Misfits were formed in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey, by Glenn Danzig. Danzig's first recruit to the Misfits was drummer Mr. Jim and bassist Diane DiPiazza, however, DiPiazza never showed up. Mr. Jim was replaced by Manny Martinez shortly after. The two practiced in Martínez's garage, with Danzig on electric piano and Martínez on drums. The duo soon encountered Jerry Caiafa, who was dating a neighbor of Martínez's and had just received a bass guitar for Christmas. After performing as a three-piece for a number of months, which spawned their first single "Cough/Cool", the band added guitarist Frank "Franché Coma" Licata in October.<ref>{{harvnb|Greene|2013|p=17}}</ref> By the end of the year they had also replaced Martínez with James "Mr. Jim" Catania. Misfits recorded its debut album ''Static Age'' in the first two months of 1978, but it remained unreleased until 1996.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/static-age-mw0000177017 |title=Static Age – Misfits: Songs, Reviews, Credits |last=Raggett |first=Ned |publisher=AllMusic |accessdate=February 13, 2018 }}</ref> "Bullet" was issued in June 1978.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/misfits-bullet-texas-is-the-reason-anniversary/ |title=Texas is the Reason: The Death of JFK and Danzig's Shining Moment |last=Lipez |first=Zachary |publisher=Noisey |date=November 21, 2013 |access-date=February 13, 2018 }}</ref>
