“I’m a loner. Don’t do well in crowd. Don’t do the backstage thing. Humans just make me uncomfortable. They all want something from you. But Dogs!?!?” So writes DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara as he takes up his role as blogger for Decibel.

In his first blog for the mag, he gives us an insight into his life off the road at home with his family- which includes beloved dogs Lord Bacchus and new addition Sly and tells the story of how we have Lord Bacchus to thank for Dez being with us today.
