Page "Misfits (band)" Paragraph 14

Only contacted Danzig about receiving a portion of the royalties from these albums ' sales, beginning a legal battle that lasted several years and involved other past members of the band.

All of the Misfits material had been credited to Danzig, and though Only later conceded that Danzig had written nearly all of the lyrics and most of the music, he contended that he and Doyle " wrote 25 % or maybe 30 % of the music " and deserved compensation.

Danzig, however, insisted that he had written all of the songs in their entirety and that the other members ' creative input had been minimal.

Eventually Only ceased his pursuit of songwriting credits and sought the rights to use the Misfits name and imagery.

In 1995 the parties reached an out-of-court settlement that allowed Only and Doyle to record and perform as the Misfits, sharing merchandising rights with Danzig.

Collection II, a third compilation of Misfits songs, was released later that year.
