About Joe Daly

JOE DALY is a freelance music journalist who regularly contributes to Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, Men’s Health, Outburn, Bass Guitar Magazine and numerous other print and online outlets. When he’s not writing about himself in the third person, he additionally works as research assistant for author Mick Wall and he has served as music editor for both The Weeklings and The Nervous Breakdown. Joe has interviewed hundreds of artists over the past twenty-five years, including Black Sabbath, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Public Enemy, The Pixies, Moby, Def Leppard and a legion of European black metal and death metal outfits of whom you have almost certainly never heard. Joe is also a live music photographer who practices way too much on his two dogs. Together, they live near the beach in San Diego and when Joe’s not taunting the sun with his pasty Irish skin, you can find him at home, blasting Motörhead at neighbor-bothering volumes, detoxifying in a hot yoga class or dug in at center ice, roaring for his beloved San Diego Gulls.
