Faith No More was the band that cemented a lifelong love, eh maybe obsession, with music. When I was 14 I got a copy of their "The Real Thing" album on tape and wore it out. It was the first music I sought out on my own and it blew my mind and opened up a whole new sonic world for me. I listened to that record over and over and over for months. It remains at the top of a long list of life changing and favorite albums.
It's hard to pick one song off of a record that means so much, they'll probably all end up on this playlist at some point. "The Morning After" just kills. I love this song, the beauty, the intensity, and anguish so eloquently crafted and showcases everything that makes them a great band with unforgettable songs.

Danny's love affair with music started around the time he could walk. He spent countless hours in front of the record player going through his parents collection and experimented with playing violin, piano, and guitar before finding his voice on the bass in his teens.
Danny began playing in local bands in Los Angeles while studying music, eventually landing at Berklee College of Music in 1998. Following his graduation in 2001 Danny returned home and continued his career as a recording and touring bassist, most notably working with former STP singer Scott Weiland.
Danny continues to stay active in the local scene and is a devoted father teaching his children about the music he loves.
