Interview with Danny M and Joey of Dead Skin Mask

Written by Javier Escandoza

Javier Hey guys. Saw you Friday at Bonds 007. Nice job! (4/29/2005)

DannyM Cool! I'm glad you liked repparttar show.

Javier Do you play 10 times faster than Slayer all repparttar 137469 time, or just Friday? Wow!!

DannyM No, not all repparttar 137470 time. When I practice at home I play along with repparttar 137471 CD at Slayer speed. When we get together as a band, yes.... we always play repparttar 137472 music faster. I doubt that we play it 10X faster, LOL!

Javier I did not think "Sex, Murder, Art" or "War Ensemble" could EVER be played faster than when Paul(Bostaph) was in Slayer. Well, you guys showed me it IS possible!!

Danny Slayer music is a beautiful thing. I love repparttar 137473 energy, speed, aggression and chaos that I feel coming out repparttar 137474 speakers at a Slayer concert. Hell, I can even feel it when I have any Slayer CD in my stereo. Playing Slayers music at repparttar 137475 speeds we play at is very satisfying and addictive.

Javier Joey, you are repparttar 137476 youngest in Dead Skin Mask. Have you been a Slayer fan all your life, or at least a good part of it?

Joey Well yeah, most of my life. When I was in Jr. High, my friend let me borrow Diabolus in Musica and I just thought it was and still is repparttar 137477 greatest music I've ever heard. They had a sound like no other band had that was so dark.

Javier Have trouble getting into repparttar 137478 clubs you play at?

Joey No, We haven't had any trouble YET with my age getting in repparttar 137479 way of a gig.

Javier What "gear" are you using?

DannyM My main guitar is a ESP Custom Shop Jeff Hanneman. Its repparttar 137480 old style guitar with repparttar 137481 a Kahler trem, SLAYER inlay at repparttar 137482 12th fret. Its loaded with EMG 85's and has an EMG SPC installed. Its tuned to E flat and stringed with 10's. Yes, in my opinion, it is better than any Standard Series ESP guitar. It is better than any other guitar that I have ever owned or played! My back up guitar is an ESP/LTD Jeff Hanneman JH-600. Its repparttar 137483 one that was banned and has repparttar 137484 'S & Key' inlays. There are only 48 of these guitars in repparttar 137485 world. I went thru many amps looking for my tone. Being in this band I also needed an amp that could nail Slayers tone and vibe. I use a Marshall JCM 800 2203X. It has SED Winged C EL34 power tubes and I put GT-12AX7-C pre amp tubes in V1 and V2. I put a Mesa SPAX7-A in repparttar 137486 V3 position. I push repparttar 137487 amp with a stock SD-1. My cab, as you already know, is a ENGL Vintage Pro 4x12. That gear is repparttar 137488 core of my sound. I get an amazingly authentic Slayer sound and vibe with that set up. I do not use any FX for my main Slayer tone. It’s all in repparttar 137489 amp, guitar and my fingers. I do use a POD XT LIVE to add a bit of effects (delay + reverb) and a slight volume boost for leads. My signal chain looks like this: Guitar -> SD-1 -> Marshall 2203X -> Pod XT Live in FX loop for Lead guitar effects -> ENGL Pro 4x12.
