Danny Danzi review by SuckaInA3Piece
WELCOME TO DANZILAND!
Those are the three words you hear before your ears are assualted with scortching hot guitar leads, blisttering vocals, pounding rhythms, and "Van Halenesque" vocal harmonies. Danny Danzi comes on strong from track one to the last and bonus track twelve on his cd, "Danziland". Danny, pulling in double duties on lead vox and guitars, is backed by a take no prisoners band that features, Andy Slostad on rhythm/acoustic guitars, Wayne Davis on bass, acoustic guitars and keyboards, Timmay Lloyd on Drums and acoustic guitars, Phil Buckleman on keyboards, and last but not least, Luke DiFillipo whose piano work is featured on the bonus track, "Time Passes By."
Truly a man born to play music, Danny got his first start on an instrument at the age of 4. Since then he has mastered many instruments including, drums, keyboard, piano, trumpet, and of course the human voice. So one should not be suprised that Danny had no problem at all with handling as many duties as he did on "Danziland". Out too prove that you can still write great hard rocking songs, yet still be musical and melodic, he proves his point and then some!
From the opening song, "Danziland" Danny's monster guitar tone reminds you of the days when George Lynch, and Eddie Van Halen ruled ear drums across the world. Danny then takes you on a melodic rollercoaster that stops for no man. Rightfully titled, "Just A Matter Of Time," I concur that it's only a matter of time before musicians around the globe take back what's rightfully theirs. The days of Hoobastank, Snoop Doggy Dog, and DMX can't last forever, and musicans like Danny will step up and recieve their just due.
Clearly an album meant for the musician, I highly reccommend this cd for any person whose eyes read this post. Not only is it right to support a fellow musican, but it's just right to support good music. Alex Van Halen once said, "if a song is good, it's good" and "Danziland" prooves that very fact. Mellow tracks like Let It Go, and Time Passes By, show that it's ok to explore one's softer side. You can't rock out on 11 all the time, and these two songs give you enough time to catch your breath. Other songs like Eternity, Destiny and Only The Strong Survive are the remedy to any lack of real rock and roll one might be suffering during these times.

Also, I will be interviewing Danny Danzi for Guitars101.com in the very near future, so be on the lookout for that. And contiune to support real rock and roll people!

Far as I’m concerned, Eddie’s the complete package. Technique aside, his rhythm playing, feel, songwriting, tone, riffs, leads, man, it’s all there. It’s like the best-tasting beer you ever drank in your life! ~Zakk Wylde
