Dennis Danell, founding guitarist of the Southern California punk band Social Distortion, died Tuesday in his Newport Beach home after apparently suffering a brain aneurysm. He was 38 years old. He started Social Distortion in 1979 with high school buddyMike Ness.Originally the groups bassist, Danell switched to guitar after some band defections and helped define the groups signature jangle on such albums as Mommys Little Monsters(1982), Prison Bound(1985), Social Distortion(1990) and White Light, White Heat, White Trash(1996). I am saddened beyond any possible form of expression, "Ness said in a statement!."Dennis and I have been friends since boy- hood, starting Social Distortion while we were in high school. My deepest regrets to his family". Danell is survived by his wife,Christie, 3 year-old son and a 6 month-old daughter.
