It depicts punk rock icons Joey Ramone, Johnny Rotten, Joe Strummer, Glen Danzig, Ian MacKaye, and Henry Rollins. The mural, adjacent to the The Asbury Lanes was done in conjunction with the annual "All Tomorrow"s concerts. Elswhere in Asbury Park, Fairey also painted panels re-crearting album cover art from Obey Records.
This is the Glen Danzig panel from the mural.Glenn Danzig (born Glenn Allen Anzalone; June 23, 1955) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, author, and entrepreneur. He is considered by some to be a progenitor of the horror punk sub-genre of music. He is a founder of bands the Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig. He owns the Evilive record label as well as Verotik, an adult-oriented comic book publishing company.
Having begun in the mid-1970s, Danzig's musical career has encompassed a number of genres through the years, including punk rock, heavy metal, industrial, blues and classical music. He has written songs for other musicians, most notably Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison.
As a singer, he is noted for his baritone voice and tenor vocal range; his style has been compared to that of Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison and Howlin' Wolf. Danzig has also cited Bill Medley as a vocal influence. As an author, he is known for his fascination with horror, gore, occult, erotic and religious themes.
