Interview with Marc Cody Bassist at Feral Babies and Guitar Tech at Dean Guitars.

When and how did you start playing guitar?

-Started playing guitar when I was 14.  I took a few lessons but I was a terrible student.  I decided I didn't want to learn at someone else’s pace and started teaching myself.

Who inspired you to play guitar?

-When I was young it was Metallica and the Ramones.  Now I am inspired by any great musician whether famous or not.

Which band are you playing for currently?

-Feral Babies.  We have been together for about three years now and are about to release our third EP.

What you love about metal and how you define it as per your life?

-I love metal as another form of expression but I enjoy lots of other types of music as well.  There are more emotions in the human spectrum than just anger and I feel that metal, more often than not, leans into that direction. 

 You may have known in many countries metal bands are not respected by society? How you feel knowing such things?

-I actually believe that metal is more appreciated in other countries as opposed to in the United States.  Heavy bands just don’t get all that much attention here anymore.  Where I live, in Tampa, is probably a little more metal-oriented than a lot of other cities.  But as a whole, its not overly popular anymore.

 When you create music; what is the thing that comes to your mind at first?

-Melody.  I am not much of a lyricist so I focus more on the musical aspect rather than the words.

How your journey to DEAN Guitar started?

-I worked at a pizza place for about 5 years before I worked at Dean Guitars.  I would do guitar repairs and things like that at home on the side.  A family member of a friend of an acquaintance got me the job back in 2007 and I have been there ever since.

What you love the most about DEAN Guitars?

-I get to work in a field that I have a passion for.  I don’t have much ambition to do a whole lot else.

Beside Dean which is the company guitar that you like to use?

-Fender

If you got to chance to work which company do you like to work for?

-Myself

What you feel when musician copy someone else music to be famous?

-The idea of being a musician is to be creative and express to yourself.  How can you express yourself with stolen emotions?  To copy someone else’s music or style to achieve fame is simply shallow and bland.

  At last what you want to say to all the musician and viewers who will watch it?

-Stay humble always.
