Evillive II

Evillive II (also known as Evilive II or Evilive 2)[4][5] is a 1998 live album by the American punk rock band Misfits. Featuring the "resurrected"[N 1] Misfits lineup of vocalist Michale Graves, bassist Jerry Only, guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, and drummer Dr. Chud, the album was recorded between October 1997 and March 1998 at a number of concerts in the United States. The album was released on CD by Caroline Records on August 14, 1998, and was made exclusively available through the official Misfits' fan club, known as "the Fiend Club", and was also sold on tour. The CD has since gone out-of-print.

Personnel

Notes
  1. The Misfits were formed in 1977 by original vocalist Glenn Danzig. The band went through several lineup changes before dissolving in 1983.[6] After a series of legal battles between Danzig and former bandmates Jerry Only and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, the band was reformed in 1995 with Michale Graves as the vocalist, Only on bass, Doyle on guitar, and Dr. Chud on drums.[7]
