Dennis Danell
Dennis Eric Danell (June 24, 1961 – February 29, 2000) was an American musician, guitarist and co-founding member of the Southern California punk rock band Social Distortion. Biography Danell joined Social Distortion in 1979 while he and frontman Mike Ness attended Troy High School (Fullerton, CA) together.

His steady, melodic playing helped define the group's signature jangle on such albums as ''Mommy's Little Monster'' (1983), ''Prison Bound'' (1988), ''Social Distortion'' (199 ...
