After Glenn Danzig made the decision to release Misfits music without the involvement of Jerry Only, a long-running feud began. According to Only's interview with No Cover TV, the two of them didn't speak to each other from the time The Misfits broke up until the day they met in court.

Summing up what the main issue was, Only said, "I wanted the band. He wanted the publishing. I didn't care about the publishing. I wanted to make new music. I didn't want to get a check in the mailbox from Metallica [who covered Misfits songs to great success] — I didn't care about that."

In a statement published by Alternative Press in 2014, Only and Misfits said Only attained "the exclusive legal right to tour and record as the Misfits" in a 1995 settlement. He then proceeded to utilize a licensing program through Cyclopian Music. Reportedly, Danzig didn't want any attachment to the band or what Cyclopian Music was doing.

In another interview with Citizine, Only revealed that he had ceded songwriting credits to Danzig as part of their agreement, even though he claimed he and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein "wrote 25% or maybe 30% of the music."
