What is your favorite record and why?
Bat Out of Hell has been my favorite record for a long time. I
saw an interview with Jim Steinman where he was talking about the title
track. He had always been a big fan of the “teenage tragedy” sub genre
from the 60’s, like Dead Man’s Curve, Leader of the Pack,Tell Laura I Love Her,
and that kind of thing, so he wanted to write his own quintessential teenage
tragedy anthem: The car wreck song to end all car wreck songs. He
took that concept and turned the album into this crazy …like…Roy Orbison meets
the E Street Band thing and I love every second of it. Oh…and Todd
Rundgren’s motorcycle guitar solo is amazing.
If you could get
in a tour bus with any band ever, who would it be. Why and what would it
look like?
I guess in like 2001, Glenn Tilbrook bought a Winnebego and went on
a US tour. There’s a movie about it. Almost everything went wrong,
but that dude is one of the coolest, most positive people I’ve ever seen,
assuming the documentary accurately portrayed him. I would love to go on tour
with him. I don’t think I could possibly be bummed out the entire time.
What would you be
doing now if you weren’t pursuing music?
I think I’d make a pretty good soccer coach. You know, like
City League. I’m not in great shape and I don’t know a whole lot about
soccer, but I think if I nailed those two things down, I could lead a team to
at least one or two wins.
Tell us about your
best friend.
Do you remember when Atreyu’s horse, Artax died in the Swamp of
Sadness because he was too sad not to die? I’m never going to put myself
through that.
"I wish that
I knew what I know now when I was younger” What advice would you give to your
middle school self?
Jesus…where do I start. No, you know what…I turned out
great. No advice. Sorry, little Danny.
What will your
legacy be when you die?
I buried a shit-ton of Gi-Joes in my neighbor’s back yard. I
hope someone finds them some day.
