Songfacts®:

  • Glenn Danzig explained the meaning of this song in a press release to promote the album: "Armageddon. What exists after 666? The end."
  • The Christian metal band Stryper attribute a very different meaning to the number 777. They see it as the opposite of 666, the "Number of the Beast," and use it in their iconography.
  • "777" is a track from Danzig II: Lucifuge, the band's second album. Like their debut, the album was produced by Rick Rubin, who signed them to his Def American label. The song was written by frontman Glenn Danzig.

  • Mickey Knox from Farmington, NmThis is a cool song. It should have been included in Natural Born Killers. I also find it eerie that Glenn Danzig sounds like Jim Morrison of the Doors in both inflection and tone when singing. This could have easily been a Doors song.
