Dean Markley 8802 Misfits Skull Busters Electric Guitar Strings (11-52)
“I like to keep the first three strings light because I very rarely hit them. In most cases, I don’t like the way they sound. I think solos are unnecessary in the Misfits. I am not a musician… I am an animal!!
“Dean’s strings hold up and maintain their original intensity through the severe beating I give them, far better than any others. Overall I like to use bigger gauges. Because of the way I play, the tension on the smaller ones is like spaghetti.
“I don’t want to put extra tension on the neck that I don’t need. For me, the first three strings are only there just in case I hit them. I dominate the low strings. My approach is… bigger string, louder and heavier sound. That’s what I’m about.
“I exclusively use Dean Markley strings on a custom Misfits Annihilator guitar that I designed and built myself. I run it through a Bass head amp because it goes to a level of 90, It’s got more power and gives me more bottom end—which helps define my sound… especially live.”
