John Christ's dark, bluesy riffs and squealing solos were one of the most integral components of Danzig's first four albums. As part of the original lineup, which also featured bassist Eerie Von and drummer Chuck Biscuits, Christ (whose real name is John Knoll) contributed to classic songs including Twist Of Cain, She Rides and Mother, all of which were featured on their Rick Rubin produced 1988 self-titled debut.
That album turned 30 on August 31, and on this week's episode, I interview Christ about the creative process behind its recording, how he joined the band, as well as his current projects, which includes teaching college music courses at Peabody Prep and offering private guitar lessons.
He also discussed the possibility of playing with Glenn Danzig again, and much more.
His lively responses in our exclusive interview offers a vivid portrait of his musical career, making this a must-listen for any diehard Danzig fan and admirers of this truly underrated guitarist.
