Jerry Only Autographs
Jerry Only, born Gerald Caiafa on April 21, 1959, in Fort Lee, New Jersey, is best known as the bass guitarist and co-founder of the legendary punk rock band, the Misfits. Growing up in an environment rich with early rock influences, Only’s passion for music began to manifest in his teenage years. Alongside his brother, he formed the band in 1977, initially performing with a lineup that foreshadowed their iconic status in the punk scene. The Misfits quickly became known for their unique blend of horror-themed lyrics, catchy melodies, and a formidable visual aesthetic, which ultimately laid the foundation for the horror punk genre.
Throughout the early years, the Misfits released a series of influential albums and EPs, including the cult classic "Walk Among Us" in 1982, which solidified their place in punk rock history. Jerry's aggressive yet melodic playing style on the bass, combined with his distinctive vocal contributions, helped shape the band's sound. The Misfits broke up in 1983, but Jerry Only's passion for the music and the band's legacy never waned. In the late 1990s, he reformed the Misfits with a new lineup, reintroducing the band to a new generation and fostering a resurgence in their popularity. Jerry's dedication to the band's identity and aesthetic helped keep the spirit of the Misfits alive.
Beyond his work with the Misfits, Jerry Only has also been involved in various side projects, including his band, "The Witch Trials" and collaborations with other punk legends. His contributions extend beyond performance; he is also a talented songwriter and has been integral in shaping the Misfits' catalog, contributing to classics like "Monster Mash" and "American Psycho." Known for his signature "devilock" hairstyle and penchant for theatrical performance, Jerry Only remains a respected figure in the punk rock community. His influence is evident not only in the music he has created but also in the countless artists who have drawn inspiration from the Misfits' distinctive blend of punk rock and horror culture.
