My Take
Dan Spitz is one of the most intriguing double lives in rock. As Anthrax's lead guitarist he helped define thrash metal's golden era, then reinvented himself as a precision watchmaker, a pursuit that demands the opposite of stage chaos. I love that duality; both disciplines reward obsessive craftsmanship, just at different volumes. Founding Red Lamb to raise autism awareness adds a layer of purpose I genuinely admire. To me Spitz is proof that an artist's identity needn't stay frozen at their most famous moment. The same focused hands that shredded riffs now assemble tiny gears, and I find that quietly inspiring.
