Graves was just a hired gun who was recruited when Jerry Only and Doyle reformed the band and is no longer a member so you can't blame him too much. It's really all on Jerry Only and to a lesser extent Doyle. They should never have resurrected the band.

On kind of a different subject, one of the weirdest things about the Misfits to me is that their popularity seems to increase exponentially by the year. My understanding is that they weren't well known at all during their original run with Danzig as frontman. It wasn't until Danzig got popular as a solo artist in the late 80s/early 90s that more people got into the Misfits and even then they were definitely a niche band. But these days they've somehow managed to permeate the culture to such a degree that their logo has become some kind of pop fashion accessory. Very strange.
