15 Facts About Jerry Only

Jerry Only is the only member to appear in every Misfits lineup except the original.

Jerry Only started The Misfits with Glenn Danzig on vocals and Manny Martinez on drums in 1977, just a few months after receiving his first bass as a late Christmas present.

In 1995, Jerry Only settled a legal battle out of court with co-founder Glenn Danzig, allowing him rights to the Misfits' name on a performing level, while they split the money on merchandising.

Jerry Only reformed the band with Doyle, vocalist Michale Graves, and drummer Dr Chud.

Jerry Only took up the singing duties from this point till the present date.

In early 2005, Marky left the group and Jerry Only brought in ex-Misfit and Black Flag drummer ROBO to rejoin the group.

Jerry Only participated in probably the most memorable match of the Misfits' time when he fought Dr Death in a steel cage match.

Jerry Only was dominated in the match but Death was distracted when the rest of the Misfits interfered and attacked his manager Oklahoma, pouring barbecue sauce in his eyes.

Jerry Only won the match after being accidentally Irish whipped through the cage door by Dr Death.

On May 6,2014, it was announced that Glenn Danzig had filed a lawsuit against Jerry Only, claiming Only registered trademarks for everything Misfits-related in 2000 behind Danzig's back, misappropriating exclusive ownership over the trademarks for himself, including the band's iconic "Crimson Ghost" logo.

Danzig says that after registering the trademarks, Jerry Only secretly entered into deals with various merchandisers and cut him out of any potential profits in the process.

Jerry Only said that Only has purposefully led merchandisers, including Hot Topic, to believe that they are legally bound not to accept licenses to exploit the Marks from Danzig or his designees, and Only continues to do so.

Jerry Only said that through this, Only has caused merchandisers not to do business with him and it has deceived consumers as to the source of the merchandise which bore the trademarks.

Jerry Only arrived early and was making bolognese sauce with Vicious' mother, Anne Beverly, but once Vicious' drug-taking friends arrived and started getting high, he left.

Jerry Only maintains that Vicious overdosed accidentally from his tolerance being lower as the result of having been through rehabilitation whilst in prison.
